Stcckmen Ever Held.

Kansas City, Mo, January 12.-What
promises to be the greatest gathering
of stockmen ever held in this city will
begin here tomorrow morning when
President j. w. Springer calls TO order
the sixth annual convention of the Ma
tional Live Stock association. All day
today and far into the night delegates
and visitors literally poured into the
city. They came from every direction.
Many solid trains brought solid Ge;ega-
tions from the west and south ana
every regular train bore it's compile
ment.
In the four days of the session bust
ness of the utmost Importance in the
livestock industry will be considered.
1t is expected that some action which
will induce congress to pass the mea--
ures which the association has caused
to be introduced will be taken. Among
the measures are the Lrosvenor anti
shoddy bill, so called; the bill providing
for classified census of livestock ana
ing the shipping laws by extending the
limit for unloading livestock from
twenty-eight to forty hours. a resoiu-
ton providing for an Improvement in
the breeding of horses for general pur-
poses. and the bill amending the Elkins
bill TO amend the interstate commerc-
act so as to give the commission power
to enforce it's orders and DEGREES.
So far there is little talk of the cleo
ton, but it is generally conceded that
President Springer and Secretary Mar
tin will be reelected.

Topeka, Kan, January 12.-The Kan
sas Legislature will convene tomorrow
at noon. Governor Bailey's message
will be read and then arrangements
will be made for the disposition of tns
state printer fight and the election of A
United States senator.
The senatorial fight will be the fea-
ture of the legislature and little else
will be done until it is disposed of. The
Leland faction is divided between
Governor Stanley and Congressman
Chester I. Long, while Congressman
Charles Curtis is the leading candidate
of the opposing faction. The Leland
people organized the house this evening
by electing ]. T. Pringle as speaker.
and this is regarded as showing to a
great extent the sentiment of the house
on the senatorial question.
Speaker Pringle, however, is a Curtis
man by virtue of the instruction re-
ceived from his constituents and will
be obliged to use his influence for Cur
tbs in the senatorial caucus.

In The GRIP
OF THE FAMINE
The Coal Situation More Alarming at
Topeka.

Topeka, Kan, January 12.-The fuel
situation is more alarming in Topeka
than yesterday. Two of the largest coal
companies in the city report that they
have not n pound of coal on hand with
which to supply orders and do noi
know when they will be able to get
any The packing houses will have 10
close in two days, as also will other
institutions unless the situation is re
lieved. The local gas company mag
have to close this week as they can
not secure enough coal to make gas
with. The street railway company mas
a very small supply of coal on hand.
Other Kansas towns report practical
ly the same situation. All the mines
in the state are being worked to their
fullest capacity, but the situation must
be relieved if at all by coal from other
states.
The weather is clear and cold and
considerable suffering has resulted al
ready.

publicans OF the senate as to the pros
poets of ANTITRUST legislation during
this session o: congress. The con-
clusion reached is that some measure
viii be passed.
There will be no radical legislation, '
said one republican senator, but a
measure embodying some features OF
the Knox bill may be passed. The re-
publicans are not going to accept any
or everything that is O-ere1 nor will
they abdicate to the minority to dictate
what shall be done. 1t will be some
time, however, before the trust bills
will be taken up and senators viii have
time to inform themselves of ali phases
Of the subject before the bill will be
brought before the senate"
Another prominent senator said he
thought there should be legislation this
session, not the bill introduced by Sen
atOr Hoar but more in the nature Of
the suggestions made by Attorney
General Knox. One feature of the
Knox bill favorably considered was
that which provided for the punish
ment of person or corporation which
received rebates as we'll as the carrier
or corporation that gave them.
