SPECIAL SESSION MEETS.
Kansas Legislature COnvenes at To-

Measures.

Topeka, Kan, June 25.-The special
session of the legislature called by
Gov. William J. Bailey to enact flood
relief measure convened Wednesday
afternoon, enough members having
arrived to insure q working quorum
IN both houses.
The principal subject of contention
will. be whether q general relief bill
or local bills shall be passed. There
seems no doubt about the "enabling
bridge act'' law being made legal
quickly. 1t also is considered certain,
from expressions of advance members
here, that charity bill of some nature
will be passed. The best authorities
differ as to the legality of such action,
but as one well-known legislator re-
marked Wednesday after viewing the
ruins in North Topeka: ''The crisis
seems so great and the needs so press
ing that relief will undoubtedly be
granted and the courts can settle the
legality of such action later"
There is some difference of opinion
also over the question of organizing
the legislature. The majority think,
however, that the old organization will
stand. The legislators were shown
over the North Topeka remains by the
Commercial club Wednesday before
converting.

NEGOTIATIONS with China Regarding
J.. Trade Treaty Come to a Halt
Through Inability to Agree.

Washington, June 25.-The nego-

have reached critical phase growing
out of the demand of the United
States and Japan for the opening of
ports in Manchuria. The Russian gov
eminent nas professed' to entertain no
opposition to this demand, but the
Chinese commissioners now take the
ground that the ports mentioned in
the demand, Moukden, Taku-Shan
and Hardin, will be opened to foreign
trade not now, but in the future when
trade necessities seem to require it.
Therefore they propose to let this
matter lie in allegiance and conclude
the trade convention without this Sec
ton. The United States refuses to &C.
cept the suggestion. Japan takes the
same position. The English influence
Leads, in that direction and the nego-
tiations are deadlocked pending the
contrivance of some means by the
three powers named to bring some
pressure upon China.
