District at present by an unusually large
delegation of the bright legal lights of To-
peka and other large cities. The lodestone
that attracts them is the district judgeship
in that state which the President has at
his disposal by reason of the promotion of
Justice w. C. Hook to the circuit bench.

of Kansas lawyers is gathered in the ma
tional capital, and they are as busy as the
proverbial bee, each working for the sue
cess of his man. OF the candidates for the
place there are any number, but four of
them appear to have the inside track. ac-
cordfng to well-posted Kansans living here.
These candidates. are Mr.. Charles Blood
Smith, Chief Justice w. A. Johnston of the
state supreme court, Mr.. w. H. Loomis and
Justice Pollock of the state supreme court.
All these gentlemen are we'll recommended
to the President, but Mr.. Blood-Smith ap-
pears to have the strongest backing, in the
person of Mr.. David Mulvane the republi-
can national committeeman of Kansas and
it is generally supposed that Mr.. Cyrus
Leland. who controls the republican state
machine of the corn state, is pulling for Mr..
Blood Smith also. The candidates men,
toned are all in the city, with the excep-
tion of Chief Justice Johnston, and he is ex-
pected to arrive here this afternoon.
In addition to Messrs. Mulvane and Le-
land. Mr.. NJ. A. Low. general counsel of the

of railroad attorneys includes also one of
the candidates, Mr.. Loomis, who is in
charge of the affairs of the Union Pacific
railroad. With the exception of Col. Rich
ards. all the persons mentioned are resi-
dents of Topeka. 1t is expected that before
the week passes several additional Kansans
of note will be among the guests at the
local hotels. There is a very decided inter-
est in Kansas in the filling of the vacant
judgeship, and each candidate is working
hard for the position. Senator Long 1t is
understood will work with Mr.. Mulvane
for his candidate

WANTS A COADJUTOR.
Bishop Doane Of Albany Expresses De-
sire to Convention,

ALBANY. N. Y. November 1l.-Bishop
William Croswell Doane today, addressing
the annual convention of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Albany, practically re-
quested the appointment of a bishop coad-
jutor. The condition of his health, he said
demanded that he be relieved from the
burden Of work and travel
In the course of his address the bishop
discussed the form of worship of the
church. He did not think, he said, that
colored vestments and incense, while per-
haps they could not be forbidden, were to
the manner born with an Englishman or
an American or today. Continuing, he said:
THE one plainly prohibited Intrusion in
to our church which, as a bishop cannot
tolerate or allow, is the reservation of one
or the consecrated elements OF the Holy
Eucharist. 1t has no proper place either
on the altar with the sanctuary lamp burn
Ing before It, or in that most Objectionable
function called the benediction of the bless
ed sacrament"

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Legislation May Be Effected in House
This Week.

The feeling among the House leaders to-
day concerned in the Cuban reciprocity
legislation was that prospects are favorable
to the passage Of the legislation through
the House before the end Of next week.
There are no Indications Of serious revolt
among the republicans at this time and the
leaders hope to bring in the bill In such
form as to obviate any dissenting votes on
their own side.
It is proposed to accompany the reciproc-
ity bill by an order from the committee on
rules which will shut off the Offering of
amendments. IT that Is done there will be
no chance to propose the abolishment of
the differential on sugar, which proposition
might command some republican votes and
certainly all democratic votes.
1t Is expected that the democrats will
resist, of course, the adoption of the rule
limiting debate and precluding amend
ments. The leaders do not see, however,
how their own party associates could join
with the democrats in opposition to the
rule 1t was said today that as a result
of the conference at the White House last
night between senators and representatives
and the President the reciprocity bill when
1t comes into the House will be drawn in
such a way as not to permit either tho
House or The Senate to abandon it's con-
stitutional contention regarding the right
to inaugurate such measure. This queS-
ton will be left in the air for future dis
cussion and settlement,
Speaker Cannon will appoint the ways
and means committee toward the latter
part of this week, and 1t is hoped that
within ten days thereafter the reciprocity
legislation will be laid before the Senate.

CROMWELL SAILS FOR HOME.
Will Represent Panama Canal Com
pany in Negotiations.

PARIS, November 11.-W. N. Cromwell,
American counsel for the Panama Canal
Company, sailed today for New York. Dur
ing his stay here Mr.. Cromwell held extend
ca conferences with the company, and he
goes homo prepared to represent the COM
pany during the negotiations for o new
canal treaty.
The company's officials have announced
their Willingness to grant an extension of
time for the American purchase Of the con-
cession, sufficient to permit the negotiation
and ratification Of a new treaty.
II is understood that Mr.. Cromwell Is au-
thorized to give assurances on the subject
OF the extension.
Another question considered was the right
to make a treaty with the republic of Pan
anna. under the present law specifically au-
fhorizing a treaty with the republic Of CO.
lombia. 1t is understood that the legal adj
risers of the company hold that a treaty
with Panama is authorized under the pres
ent law, as Panama succeeds to the sover-
eighty of Colombia.
Moreover, they hold that the United
States Senate's ratification of the treaty
with Panama will cure any possible defects
of treaty under the present law.

Gratifying Reports Made of MI. Sar-
gents Condition.

Reports this morning from the bedside of
Frank P. Sargent, commissioner of immi-
grafton, indicated a general improvement
in the condition of the patient. The paraly-
sis is gradually leaving the affected por-
tions, and Mr. Sargent is now able to raise
his left hand and to articulate distinctly.
Since the first stroke he has been unable to
speak at all, ard was also unable to use
any of the muscles of the left side. An en-
tire absence of sensation, which generally
characterizes paralytic strokes. was no.
ticeable in this case, and the efforts of the
family physician have been directed to rem
edying this. The treatment given has had
a very beneficial effect. and the family Of
the sufferer believes him to be now beyond
the danger point.

the home of her brother-in-law, DR.. L. 8.
Conwell.
At o'clock this morning she eluded the
guard. that had been almost constantly
watching her, and, escaping from the
house, made her way to her own home,
where she found her husband sleeping in a
rocking chair.
Placed Revolver at His Ear.

volver from her dress. and, placing it be-
hind the mans ear, killed him instantly.
She then returned to DR.. ConwelPs house
and informed the family of her act.

woman had refused to remain at her own
home and Dr. Conwell took her in charge,
