Fusion Deal In Kansas.

Topeka. Kan, March 5.-The state
central committees of the Populist,
Democratic and Silver Republican or
ganiZations Were in secret session here
and agreed upon terms under which n
complete union of the three parties
may be formed for the coming state
and national campaign. The Demo-
cratic state chairman reviewed the his
tory of fusion In Kansas, and insisted
that II was time for somebody besides
the Democrats TO cOncede something.
The Democrats first asked for six of
the fourteen places on the ticket. but
the Populists claimed that this was out
of proportion TO the Democratic vote.
The P0pulists are to have governor.
lieutenant governor. auditor, attorney
general. state superintendent. congress
man-at-largc and one judge of the court
of visitation.
The Democrats are to have associate
Justice, secretary of state. treasurer.
solicitor. and one judge OF the court OF
visitation.
The Silver Republicans are to have
insurance superintendent and one
judge of the court of visitation.
The electoral ticket II to be divided
between the Democrats and Popullsts
equally.

Curious as 1t may appear to many
people, II is. nevertheless, extremely
probable that the war In South Africa
may have the effect of giving an i'm
mense stimulus to mule breeding in
Great Britain. The truth is that the
military authorities have discovered
that the demand for really eligible
mules far exceeds the supply. and as it
is evident to the public that the prices
paid for such animals are remunera-
tive. 1t Is pretty certain that the les
son will receive the attention II de-
serves. In this country the mule is
highly valued for heavy draught work.
When II is also borne In mind that the
mule can exist well where horse
would well-nIgh starve. that he is the
most healthy OF animals and a willing
worker. In spite of all the Jokes which
are made on the score of the obstinacy
displayed by some mules. there can be
no galnsaylng the fact that he is a
useful beast.

The car OF Russia Is not much in
love with the grandeur in which he is
compelled to live. He has no liking
for soldiers or sportsman's life, and
is never more uncomfortable than
when obliged to don the gorgeous uni
form OF some crack regiment Of which
he is colonel. He is fond Of rowing.
cycling, tennis and other quiet sports.
His happiest moments are spent in his
unpretentious library. The car and
his young wife have for their favorite
domestic resort the small Alexander
palace. at Czarskoie Selo. In the

BRIBERY Is RAMPANT.
New York City's Auditor Accuses His Fell
low Officers.

low Onicers.
New York, March 5.-Comptrollel
| Coler to-day attacked the office OF the
| corporation counsel in n way that Is
| likely to crcate n storm. He charged
wholesale robbery and did not hesitate
to say that bribery is rampant among
| the city otiice-holders, who, he AYERS,
seem TO have made the trade of theft
respectable, and thereby avoid the fate
| of the late William Tweed.
Robbery of the city Of New York
is now perfectly lcgalIzed," he began.
II prepared and sent to Albany n bill
that would save the city from whole
sale theft, bill providing that the
persons selling supplies to the city de-
partments shall not charge more than
market prices. The officers of the city
whose duty 1t is to defend suits, went
to Albany to defend n bill providing
that those selling goods to the city
would not have to prove that they were
overcharglng for them.
my bill would stop legaliZed rob-
berry. When l have held up bills and
claims because the prices charged
were above the market price, the cor
poration counsel confessed Judgment
on the ground that the city had no de-
fense as fraud had not been proved.
When my bill TO stop legalized robbery
Is introduced, the corporation counsel
hurries to Albany to defeat 1t. The
city has been robbed outrageously in
the purchase of supplies. There is
concerted movement on the part Of GER
tain departments to defeat the finance
department from protecting the city
treasury. In some cases, large reduc-
tions were made on bills because they
We're fraudulent and the prices charged
were more than double the market
value, yet If these cases had been
taken to court the corporation counsel
would not defend them because fraud
mad not been shown. l must prove
fraud or there is no defense.
ITO prove fraud and actual bribery
is difficult matter. / cannot go into
dark rooms and see the money passed.
In one case safes We're purchased by
the city for $500. The mayor of Mount
Vernon advertised for bids for the
same kind of safes and got them for
S3O1. In another case, carpets We're
bought at auction for S1.25 yard that
could be bought for So cents. Tweed
did not know how to steal in respect
able manner and went to Jail in conse-
quence. Legalized robbery Of the city
is now respectable. Things are worse
than In Tweeds time. Thousands of
persons are subsidized by the city
through the purchase of supplies in lots
that cost less than $1,000. The patron
age taken away by the civil service is
distributed in that way.
MY bill would stop all this robbery
and bribery and theft, but the corpor-
alton counsel in his official capacity
goes to Albany and uses his influence
to defeat the bill. The people can judge
for themselves"

Souls church here yesterday. speaking
to large audience on THE Blood of o
Nation" lie said that the presen!
century would witness the downfall
of Great Britain. He declared that ul.
timately the people of South Africa
would have their freedom.
The speaker, In emphatic terms, as
serted that the present inhabitants OF
Great Britain were n mere shadow OF
their forefathers In point OF brains and
health. Mr.. Jordan thinks that na.
tlon that founds Its destiny on war
must reach n speedy decay. He said
great war saps the vitality OF the
best blood OF the nation.
Mr.. Jordan deprecated the fact thas
SO many OF the best youths of nation
are killed during times of war. lie re-
marked that this accounted for the ex.
istence OF a weak nation, both men
tally and physically. The speaker de-
clared that France. more than any
other great nation. had dctcrlorated.
He said war more than any other thing
had contributed so this sorrowful con.
ditlon. Among other things he said:
Il think war, more than any other
agency, destroys the vitality OF na.
ton. Take. for Instance. the present
British.Boer war. The best represen.
tntiyes OF both countries are now on
the field of battle. War not only
makes widows, but II prevents many
marriages. l am certainly OF the
opinion that war Is a curse on any
nation, unless II Is the result OF a figh,

-Br~bant Wins . Hattie.
London, March 6.-Fresh intelligence
as to what Lord Roberts Is doing has
ceased again. This silence is taken to
mean that something has happened or
Is about to happen.
Boer raiders are uncOmmonly active
in the northwestern section of Cape
Colony, where they are stirring up the
Dutch. Martial law has consequently
been declared.
A dispatch to the Standard from Os-
fontein dated Sunday, March 4th, says:
Lord Roberts army now occupies
most advantageous position. The
Sixth division, under General Kelley
Kenney, is posted on the right AMI
holds all the kopjes for n distance Of
five miles south of the Modder. The
Seventh division, under General Tuck
er, is In the center, imediately south of
the river, and General Colville, with
the Ninth division, is on the north
bank. The cavalry brigade, under Gen
eral French, is posted on the left front,
and the mounted infantry, under Col
onel RidleyMartyr, on the right front

Their position is surrounded on all
sides by level plains, over which the
Beers must make their way in order
to reach the river. AS consequence
their situation appears precarious In
the extreme.

Australians want to have little navy,

saying: Dear John-I have gone away

happy. Don't hunt for u.s." But John
is hunting for them with gun, prob
ably to prove that she was wrong for
once. Some men take such a mean
