MRS. NATION IS
 STILL 0N THE G0 Starts On a Crusade Against Topeka SaIoons-Sounds
 Note of Warning.

Topeka Kan, January 31-Mrs. Carrie Nation, armed with a new hatchet, started on a crusade against the Topeka saloons at S:3O o'clock this morning. She called on i've The first visit was to the Apex the finest saloon in town, but no damage was done. She was put out of the place. She said she merely wanted to lecture. How ever, should violence be shown she intend- ed getting in her work. She did no damage at the other four saloons.
 A crowd of several hundred people fol- lowed her down the street most of whom were sympathizers The police tried to ar- rest her, but the crowd prevented.
 Mrs. Nation says the Lords mission to her to clear out all the joints In Topeka before leaving will be fulfilled, and if the authorities do not suppress the joints she will smash them, using rocks and hatchet.
 When Mrs. Nation appeared at the diff ferent 'joints'' the owners stood back of the barricaded doors and waited an attack. She begged them to let her in that she might talk to them, promising not to harm anything. But they were afraid of her and would not open the doors. Nothing daunt- ed she talked to them after this fasnion:
 I'm sorry for you boys. You look So much ashamed of yourselves.
 I'm not mad at you, boys I'm not hating you a Dit, even when come around with my matchet. I'm treating you just IS I would treat one of my own boys if found him with something that would do him harm.
 sut, boys, you must not stay in this business any longer. l give you fair warn ing Just you close up and get out of this business. You are harming yourselves and other boys, and I won't let you do it. If you don't get out of this, boys, I'll be around in a few days and just break up your wicked little shops for you"
 The saloon msn seemed to be strongly moved by the talk Mrs Nation gave them
 Mrs. Nation made a short talk to class at Washburn College this morning. speak ing to the boys about cigarettes and cigars In the chapel of the college minister was speaking. Mrs. Nation regarded him for a while, then leaned over to a man near her and said:
 Wont you ask the man on the stage to let me speak to these boys about five min- utes? He's been giving them too much chaff. I want to give them a few grains of wheat"
 Bst she was not permitted to talk.

able stands are in course of erection. Prep arations are everywhere being made tC cover the stands with purple cloths, ana this will go a long way toward giving thu effect of general mourning.
 Stands are being erected close to St. James Palace, which, when completed, will accom- modate thousands
 Even on the outbuildings of the palace, and balcony whence King Edward access sion was proclaimed and in the gardens of Marlborough House, similar provisions for spectators are being made. The sidewalks of St. James street are almost impossible. Carpenters and joiners are everywhere building stands and snoring up balconies. the same conditions of things prevail in Piccadilly. Seating accommodations are be- ing prepared in every possible nook, from Devonshire House to the balcony of Apsley House.
 In the Edgeware road and thence to Pad dington are the liveliest scenes of all. The entire population of the district and suburbs seems to have congregated in search of accommodation and traficlzing in seats in going on in the street which gives it the appearance of busy market.
 Cambridge Row is lined on both sides with stands erected in the gardens, and people eagerly pay three or four pounds for seats on them, while windows of the houses in the rear of the stands with three and be- tween them and the roadways are conSid- cred cheap at thirty pounds.
 The royal arrivals in the Metropolis today included the crown Prince of Norway and Sweden and the Duke and Duches of Aosta, the King of Wurtemburg and Prince Mo- named Ali. The French. Turkish and Bull garian missions have also arrived.

AGREEMENT REACHED.
Creditors of Josiah Morris 6 Go. Grant
 Extension.

The Age-Herald Bureau, .Glancey's Hotel, Montgomery, January S1.-(special)-At a meeting of the creditors of the banking house of Josiah Morris & Co.,, held this morning in this city, it was unanimously agreed to settle the affairs of the bank outside of the courts.
 The meeting was attended by more than two hundred of the creditors, and 1t was the evident desire of each one to lend as- sistance to MT. Billing in his effort to have the bank pay off its full obligations. It Is thought that the action of the creditors will serve to have the New York creditors take similar action.
 The agreement signed by the creditors Is as follows:
 We, the undersigned creditors and de- positors of Josiah Morris & Co.,, agree to leave the affairs of the banking fnstitu- tion carried on under the name and style of Josiah Morris & Co. in the hands and under the management and control of F. M Billing and give him time to pay our several demands as follows:
 121b per cent on July 1, 1901.
 121s per cent on December 1, 1901.
 25 per cent on July l, 1902.
 25 per cent on January 1, 1903.

Fast Mail Appropriation.

The fight on the provision in the postoffice bill providing for the continuation of~the annual appropriation for a fast mail from New York south, will begin tomorrow in the House. The southern members inter- ested in it are hopeful of keeping it in the bilL though it will be sharply attacked by the members from the central and western states, and by some southern men, whose districts are not favorably affected by it.. There has been less interest manifested this year than usual by the southern cities affected and this may tend to cause it's de- feat. But if the House turns it down the fight will be continued in the Senate with better prospects of success.

Amendment Considered.

The Senate committee on privileges and es,o..onD today spszv soma ssnae :,i consitf- ering the amendment proposed to the sum- dry civil bill, providing for an appropria- tion of s25, 900 to contest and bring before the Supreme Court the constitutions of those states diffranchising the negroes. No conclusion was reached, but it is expected that the committee will act favorably at it's next meeting notwithstanding the op- position of the southern members. If this amendment be added to the sundry civil bill, it will doubtless be vigorously fought by southern Senators who may think it justifies filibustering against that bill.
