DETERMINED TO GET IT.
Kansas City Making a Strong Pull
For Democratic Convention.

New York, Jan. 25.-A Times special
from Washington says: Kansas City
is to make a strong push here to have
the Democratic national convention
sent to that city. A committee is ready
to come here about February Is to set
forth the many advantages possessed
by Kansas City over all other locali-
ties and it is understood that every in
ducement that any other place is likely
to offer will be met by Kansas City.
The people of that city have made up
their minds to win if promises can gain
the convention.
Next to Kansas City the strongest
impression seems to have been made by
Milwaukee, and much favor is expected
for it. The great advantage of Kansas
City over Milwaukee is said to be
abundant Geographic facilities and con-
Venience of access by many railroad
lines. If New York is seriously intent
upon having the convention, it has not
yet made its anxiety apparent here
Some of the Democrats who read every
day the admOnition to Bryan to not
give up the 16 to ! idea, fear that if
the convention goes to New York the
influences there will tend to the re-
lection of the free silver plank, which
Bryan insists must be held onto and
which the incurable free silver men de-
mand shall be one of the chief plankS
in the platform.
Rryan is said to favor Milwaukee
The only explanation made is that it is
unnecessary to hold the convention in
a Democratic city if there is anything
to be gained by addressing a locality
where the party hopes to gain strength.
Bryan would much rather have the
convention in a Republican state than
in a Democratic one. The Democrats,
he supposes, he will hold anyhow; the
recruits must be picked from the

tended to Denison. Texas.

Wichita, Kas., Jan. 25.-Attorney Yer
million, of the Kansas Midland railroad
here was notified by Receiver Wolff
from st. Louis today that a meeting of
the directors of the road had decided
to extend the line from Wichita to Den

Chandler, o. T., a branch will be built
to the McAlester coal fields. The length
of the Midland at present is 100 miles,

Mr.. Wolff spent all last summer in
Europe trying to induce the bondhold-

give the Midland independent connec-
ton to the Gulf of Mexico, besides
touching a number of the largest
towns in Oklahoma.

CURTIS ON INDIAN LEASES.
Means Provided For the Enforcement
of the Red Mems Rights.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Chief Porter,
of the Creeks, and Chief Burlington, of
the Cherokees, were callers today at the
Indian office. Their object was to con-
fer with Commissioner Jones about the
conditions which are preventing the IN
dams of their respective nations from
settling upon their allotments. They
informed the commissioner that unless
some action was taken to give the In
dams possession of their lands, the OBJ
ject of the Curtis law and the work
of the Dawes commission would be
defeated. The leaSehOlders in the terri
tory are refusing to give the Indians
possession, and the Indians, it is claim
ed, are ignorant of the means provided
them in the Curtis act for the enforce
ment of their rights.
Speaking today upon the conditions
complained of in the territory Chair
man Curtis, the author of the law for
the protection of the people of the ter
ritOry, said:
THE law provides that where a lease
holder claims the value of his improve
ments are greater than a reasonable
rental for the period of his occupancy
of the land, the Indian may begin ac-
ton in the United States court to de-
termine the validity of such claim. The
law further provides that no man shall
have in his possession nine months af-
ter the passage of the act more than
$50 acres, unless under new leases and
If any person be found hold
ing lands in excess of $50 acres, it
shall be the duty of the United States
district attorney to prosecute him Grim
inaIly. If it be true, therefore, that
some men in the territory are still re-
tanning vast holdings under old leases,
they should be prosecuted under the
law. The commissioner of Indian af-
fairs should call attention to the pro-
visions of the law providing for such
prosecutions, and if the United Sta tes
district attorney, after such notice, does
not see fit to proceed, then complaint
against him should be made to the at
torney general and his removal urged -

UNION PAo1FIo pEN1A1.
Rumored Lease by Northwestern Said
to Be Fake.

Omaha, Jan. 25.-The report to the
effect that arrangements are being
completed for the lease of the Union
Pacific road by the Northwestern are
discredited at Union Pacific headquar-
ters by officials from President Burt
down.
The road is earning more money than
ever before with bright prospects of an
increase while the physical condition of
the property is better than ever before
in it's history. 1t has paid for these
improvements in addition to dividends
and as long as the property is in such
good condition it is considered unlikely
that the varioust interests in the Union
Pacific would consent to see it pass into
the hands of the Northwestern. The
story is called by officials a fake, pure
and simple.

ROCK ISLAND PROSPERITY.
It Makes an Addition to Big Kansas
City Freight Depot Necessary.

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-The Chicago.
Rock Island & Pacific Railway COM
pany is planning to build another big
freight house in the west bottoms. The
new depot, when built, will be south of
Fourteenth street, with its frontage on
Liberty street. 1t will be in an lin"
depot, or a depot to unload freight
shipped in The depot south of Four
tenth street will be used for housing
freight thaS is to be shipped away.
The Rock Islands present freight
depot facilities consist of a building
nearly two blocks long, south of Four
teenth street, fronting on Liberty. Two
years ago it was only half as long, but
a rapidly growing freight business
made an extension necessary. Now the
freight business at the depot runs about
$500, GOO month and the vast volume of
it calls for more room.

Be Placed In Service There

The marine tubular boiler locomotive

out Of the Santa Fe shops here. will

the yards at that place. This locomotive

until Saturday, the locomotive will be
fired up, and thoroughly tested again, af-
ter which it will be sent to Argentine.
