IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.


Topeka, Kan, Feb. 12.-The su-
prene court Saturday in the case Of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company against |. P. Camp
bell, error from Sedgwick county,
held the act.of the legislature reqmr-
ing railroads to furnish free trans
portation to shippers Of live stock to
be unconstitutional. The court says:
This is deprivation of property
without due process of law and de-
NAL of the equal protection of the
laws and is, therefore, unconstitu-
tional and void under the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution" The
railroads have furnished shippers of
one car load free transportation to
market, the shipper paying his fare
home. For two car loads or more
the shipper is carried free both ways.
This is the rule which has been OBJ
served for years and is now in force.
The legislature of 1897 passed the law
declared unconstitutional. It was
brief, providing that shippers of one
car load should be carried free both
ways. The opinion was written by
Chief Justice Doster.

SITUATION AT FRANKFORT.
Sufficient Remain to Do Police Duty
Nothing New In the situation.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb 12,--All day
long yesterday troops poured ont
of Frankfort on special trains and
last night only the soldiers from
Coyington, Newport, Lexington and
Morgantown were camped in the cap.
itol square, The leaving of the troops
was the only feature that TRANSFERRED
in the political situation in Frank
fort yesterday Gov Taylor remained
quietly in the executive mansion and
did not visit his Office, giving him
self n day of rest, Of which he stood
greatly in need. Adjt, Gen. Collier
said yesterday afternoon that only a
few companies of infantry would be
kept on duty here for a short time,
to do police work around the capitol
square and guard the public build
ings. They would, he said, interfere
in no way with the actions of the
members of the legislature, access to
the Legislative halls would be as free
and unrestricted as il was before
Gov. Taylor issued the proclamation
declaring Frankfort in a state of in
surrection.
The members of the republican leg
islature were expected to arrive from
London late yesterday afternoon, but
word was brought that they had
spent the day in M excursion to Cum
berland Gap and would not, for the
most part, arrive until ten o'clock this
morning. About six of the republic
cans came in on the night train from
London.
No intimation has been received
here as to whether or not the dem
ocratic members Of the legislature
would adjourn their session at Louis
Vile and come to Frankfort TO take
part in the general session II is be-
lieved here, however, that they will
do so, probably by the latter part of
the week.

the republicans will this week seek to

LEpERs IN NORTH DAKOTA.
A Doctor Finds Two Csaes In Walsh County
Both Men In . Pitiable
Condition.

St. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 12.-Dr. J. f.
Engstad, Of Grand Forks, N. D., has
just returned from Walsh county,
where he went at the request of the
Walsh county committee to investi-
gate the condition of two lepers who
are confined 16 miles northwest of Ed
inburgh. He found the men in a
pitiable condition. Confined in a sod
hovel with only one door and one win
dow is a Norwegian, 50 years old, and
a Swede, aged 81, the elder helpless,
in the last stages of leprosy, the
younger still able to wait on his COM
panion. So great is the popular dread
of the disease that not.a soul ever ap-
proaches the place where the two men
await death. DR.. Engstad has written
United States Senator Hansbrough,
asking him to use his influence to
have one of the abandoned military
reservations set apart as place for
a leper colony.

SILVER REPUBLICANS.
A Convention of the Party to BE Called
ut the Same Time and Place ~
the Democrats.

Washington, Feb. Ia can see
no reason why the silver republican
party, so-called, will not maintain its
organization intact during the COM
ing campaign said Senator Henry
Nj. Teller, the acknowledged leader
of the party. "None of the great re-
forms for which the party stood in
1896 have come to pass under the
present administration. With the
present financial bill enacted into
law. the bimetallic plank in the st.
Louis platform will be seen to have
been but the veriest sham. A con-
venton of the party will be called
to meet at the same time and place
determined upon by the democrats.
If the platform of that party is CON
sistent with the principles for which
the silver republicans stand, and If
the nominees are satisfactory, the
candidates will be support
ed"

THE ARMY cAHrEEN.
President Mckinley Interviewed b. Ladies'
Bei0nging to the National W. L. I. U.
on the Subject.

Washington, Feb. l3.-Mrs. Lillian
N. Stevens, president of the National
Women's Temperance union, Miss
Anna A. Gordon, vice presidential
large, and Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis,
superintendent of the department of
legislation for the society. were
granted an interview by President Nc
kinley yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Ste
vens on behalf of 100000 members Of
the W. c. I. U. expressed what she
declared was the general dissatisfac-
ton of the people at the decision OF
Attorney General tiriggs regarding
the sale of liquor in the army can
teen. She appealed to the president
as cOmmander-in-chief of the army
to fright this great wrong assuring
the executive of the committees hope
and belief that If he were Obliged to
accept as final the adverse decision of
the attorney general he would give
his support and approval to such
further Legislative effort as might
lead to the result desired.
Mrs. Ellis then presented to
the president 200 letters received
since January and addressed to his
excellency protesting against the
Interpretation of the law eiven by the
attorney general, these letters being
classified in groups from profession
al and business men and organiza-
tions from all parts of the country,
She said that in addition to these
letters there were $4,000 petitions
from churches and phlanthropic So
cieties.
While the reply of the president
was most courteous and he expressed
his appreciation of the work of the
W. G. 7. T., he stated in response to
a direct question from Mrs. Stevens
that the opinion of the attorney gem
eral must be accepted as final. He
wanted it understood, he added,
that after the temperance committee
waited on him in July asking for a
reconsideration of the attorney gen
erals decision. he again referred the
subject to that official, who. after
such reconsideration, replied that he
felt that he must adhere to his first
Interpretation of the law. Although
very much disappointed over the in
depreciation of the law as given by
Attorney General Griggs, the ladies'
say they intend to keep up vigorous
fight against the army canteen.
