Stanley Leads in Kansas.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 15.-Caucuses
were held last nighs by the support
ers of all the candidates for United
States senator. Governor Stanley leads
with forty pledged votes. Congressman
Curtis has thirtyfive votes; Congress
man Long, thirty; Congressman Cal
derhead, fourteen, and Congressman
Bowersock, seven.
Six republican members have so far
refused to attend caacuses or express
a preference. Unquestionably Governor
Stanley has the advantage, and his
supporters declare they will stay with
him to the end. He claims more sec
ond choice strength in the Long and
Curtis camps than all the other candl-
dates can muster.
Cyrus Leland, former national repub-
lican committeeman, who is a member
of the house, is Staniey's manager.
Curtis has the backing of the friends
of Senator Burton. while Long is urged
because Of his able speeches in defense
of the national administration In con-
gress. The Long and Stanley forces
will unite to prevent Curtis election
The senator will be chosen on Jan.
%, and the caucus win be held about
Jan. 23.

CAN NOT PAY IN GOLD
conaer Says Il Is Impossible for China
3 to Meet Obligations.

washington, Jan. 15.-The state de-
partment has ben informed by Minister
Conger that the Chinese government
has professed its utter inability to pay
the Chinese Indemnity on gold basis
under present conditions, and has sug-
gcsted that If the powers insist upon
such payments of the indemnity then
China should be allowed to collect the
import duties in gold. This would prac-
tIcally amount to doubling the customs
receipts, gold standing in the ratio OF
about one to two of silver.
Secretary Hay has replied that as far
as the United States is concerned, hav-
ing agreed to accept the payment of the
Indemnity on silver basis, it could not,
of course, consider this last proposi-
ton.
The attitude Of the United States
government is thus maintained consist
emily, while at the same time the Amer
lean export trade is protected from a
severe blow which would be dealt by
the doubling Of duties on these goods
when they enter China. What the other
powers will do is unknown.
It is felt here that the only logical So
luton of the problem is submission OF
the matter to The Hague tribunal, as
has already been proposed by China.

TELLS OF CRUELTY
Lieut.. Arthur Dutton Returns From
Colombia With Stories of Cruelty
Practiced by Those in Power.

San Francisco, Jan. 15.-Lieut, Ar
thur III. Dutton, executive officer of the
Colombian cruiser Bogota, who arrived
here on the Newport, in signed state-
ment, says: have never heard of a
court martial while in Columbia. Pun
ishments are carried out and sentences
inflicted at the sweet will OF those
In power. So-called discipline of
armies is maintained by bullet or lash.
A trifiing offense was at times pun
ished by hundred lashes on the bare
back with flexible cane. Men We're
shot for mere nothing. A few days
after peace was declared two liberal
officers who had refused to acquiesce
in the conditions were lashed brutally
until dead. Some prisoners who have
.beenj taken after particularly stubborn
resistance, had their legs and arms
cut off or eyes and ears removed and
were then released. Some died from
loss of blood.
One of several schooners, loaded with
refugees which the Bogota was towing,
sprung leak in deep water at sea.
The refugees were rescued. The cap-
tain and crew and four men We're to
follow them, when a Columbian official
in charge ordered them back on board
the doomed schooner. Let them per-
ish with her" he. exclaimed. The six
+unfortunates innocent OF any wrong
doing, were left to their fate on the
sinking schooner on which there were
no sails and no boats.

ARE AFTER ADDlcks.
Democrats Are Making Plans to De.
feat Him in Delaware.


Dover, Del, Jan. 15.-Democratic
members of the legislature have invited
republicans to join them in a COM
bination to overthrow what they term
''Addickism.'' The twenty -one demo-
cratic members propose that six re-
publicans join forces with them. They
agree that in the event OF this coalition
the combined forces will elect u repub-
lican other than Addieks United States
senator for the long term, and a demo-
crat for the short term.
The democratic members held a con-
ference after the general assembly had
adjourned yesterday, and later issued a
statement, in which, after inviting re-
publican senators ard representatives
to unite with them to repeal the voters
assistant law, which is characterized as
Il "diabolical and monstrous instrument
of corruption" they submit the fol-
lowing proposition:
with respect to the election Of
United States senators, we hereby de-
clare that if six republicans will join
with the twenty-one democrats we will
elect any republican who has shown
himself opposed to Addicksism; such
six may select a senator for the long
term Of four years, T. they Join us In
electing democrat whom we shall Sc
lect for the shorter term OF two years,
provided such six republicans shall do
this not later than on the first joint
ballot for senators, Jan. 81.
The statement asserts that the object
of the democrats in making the an
nouncement is that The people of the
state may place the blame for corrupt
politics where it belongs.
The union or Addicks republicans ar
ranged a hurried conference. but sew
eral members were absent, and nothing
definite was decided upon.

never accepted bribe, as charged in

tanning to Railway Taxation.


tanning to Railway Taxation.
Madison, Wis. Jan. 15.-Governor La
Toilette in his message to the legisla-
ture devotes much space to matte
pertaining to railroad taxation and con-
troll of freight rates in Wisconsin. He
declares the license fees system should
be superseded by more scientific meth
DDS of railway taxation; gives many ta-
bles OF comparative freight rates In adj
joining states, showing that Wisconsin
shippers are compelled to pay an exor-
sbitant rate. He recommends the enact
ment of primary election law; also
law against paid lobbyists. On the SUBJ
jects of trusts the governor says:
II desire to emphasize for your at
tention the Importance of providing
most specifically the form and manner
for the enforcement cf such laws as you
may enact for the prevention of illegal
combinations within the state, to re-
strain the operations of such combina-
tions organized elsewhere and for the
punishment of violators OF such laws
