government to pay an export bounty on
flour would pass. Antwerp was also

crowd was compelled to admit a slow
export condition despite low ocean

French-American Alliance
st. Petersburg Feb. 1.-THE Russian
press is greatly pleased with the declara-
ton OF the French minister Of foreign
affairs, NJ Delcasse, regarding the Russo
F'rench-American understanding. The
Novoye Vremya says:
THE United States attaches itself to
the Franco-Russian alliance for the
same reasons which united the latter
because they prusue common aims,
whose realizations will benefit ALL
The paper expects a closer under
standing which will strengthen peace.
The Novosti expresses itself in the
same tone but holds the opinion that the
United States politics is too changeabIe
to inspire complete trust, Japan more
than the United States being entitled
to a leading role in her conduct in
China, she displayed great tact and won
universal esteem There has been no
friction between the Russo-Japan troops
The Novosti anticipates a more com
plete understanding between Russia and
Japan, eliminating in a permanent al
lance

struck out the euacting clause

The bill contemplated raising the test
from 10 to 120 degrees. This would be a
severe blow to Kansas oil refineries, Is
thousands Of dollars worth Of machinery

produces oil to Just the old test. Repre-
sentative Willis of Wilson raised this
point and Harris of Lyon discovered some
raises in salaries for inspectors which

wRDNEspAY's DISCUSS

Consideration of the arbitration meas
ure-the court of Cancellation bill intro
duced by Ed McKeever-brought out an
animated discussion in the house yester-
day afternoon
The question of having the three
judges appointed or elected came up
with the reading of section 8, which
provides that they be appointed. Ac-
cording to the bill one judge is to be
appointed representing the employers of
the state. another the employees, the
third to be neither an employer nor an
employee"
Babb, Of Sedgwick. moved an amend
ment that the three judges be elected
by vote Of the people all at one time
Babb's amendment lost by q. straight
party vote. the Republicans standing by
the assertion of James Lawrence that
it is advisable to keep railroad COM
panies out of politics.
Babb held that 1t was a partisan court
to start with. I'D call it anti-concilia-
ton" he said. Two antagonistic peo-
pie. employer and employe. these are
first. then third to keep the first two
straight"
Party lines were drawn on the meas
ure for time. the minority opposing the
bill
This court has no power to restrain
or give injunction It can but make
findings Mr.. McKeever said The bill
supported by the State Labor society,
a non-partisan body, and they affirm
that it will do them good and not harm, "
He said the Republicans proposed TO
establish an arbitration court to the
best of their ability.
J. A Butler, Democrat. said he repre-
scented labor and had made a campaign
along this line. The state society en-
dorsed the bill and he would vote for it.
Field, fusionist and a raflroader. said
he represented labor and his organiza-
tons were against the bill
Jolliffe. of Marion, made the best
speech of the debate. He said two sides
the railroads and the laborer-had
been heard from. He spoke for the third
side-the shipper, who had his goods
side-tracked and stood loss when the
other two fought He said the shippers
were ready to submit their fate to this
court and hoped it would give them
much needed relief.
The bill was recommended for passage
subject to amendment in debate, mem
bers OF both parties voting in favor Of
it.
The minority is sore that it was trick
ed into apparent opposition to the bill in
the heat of debate. They had discussed
the matter in caucus the night before.
Their labor representatives had split and
were sent out to get together on the
measure. 1t seems they had not done SO
and the result was q sorry exhibition OF
opposition that was not at all intended.
