KANSAS WILL GET FEW.
Senator Morrow Says State Won't Be
Allotted Much at st. Louis.

In the allotment of patronage at the
st. Louis exposition Kansas must be
satisfied with a few places for Kansas
applicants. 1.-The promise of the exposi
ton management; when the states were
urged to make appropriations for build
ings and exhibits at the exposition was
that the patronage of the exposition, in
the way of appointments to positions,
would be prorated among the states ac-
cording to the appropriations made by
the legislatureS1of the states. Under
this promise Kansas might expect $50
positions to distribute among Kansas
applicants. However, since the Kansas
building has been completed the expo
sition management has changed it's
mind. The pro rata promise will not
be carried out and Kansas will be lucky
to get fifty positions or thereabouts.
Senator Cal Morrow of the Kansas
commission to the St. Louis exposition
returned today from ST Louis Kan
sas may get few positions said Sem
ator Morrow THAT promise about pro
rating the patronage was Democratic
promise. 1t has been rescinded. The
selecting of appointees from among the
applicants has been taken from the COM
mission"
A good many Kansans hoped to secure
appointments, under the pro rata prom
Use, on the Jefferson guards, the organi-
cation which will police the exposition
grounds. Now they stand practically
no chance of securing them. Colonel E.
A. Goodwin of the Ninth United States
cavalry, who will be copmandant of the

which is being sent to all who apply for
positions on the guard:

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Manager Stone Persuades the
Car to Abolish Censor.

New York, March 24-Melville E..
Stone, general manager of the Asso-
ciated Press, who has returned from a
business trip to Europe where he met
the czar and the German emperor, tells
the story of the abolition of the CEN
sorship on Russian Associated Press
dispatches.
Il met the czar in the winter palace
at st. Petersburg said Mr.. Stone.
I'VE had an hours conversation, dur
ing which I showed him the reason
why l thought the censorship should
be abolished, I told him that his CEN
sorship was ineffective, in that any
thing that a person wished to send
and which could not be sent through
by way of St. Petersburg could be car
ried to the German frontier in Is hours
and sent over the German wires. /
also told him that the Russian teie-
graph was losing the great revenues
that were paid for those. messages.
He considered for a moment and
then said, Your idea is a good one,
and impresSeS mo very much. If you
will remain here for a week, I will
consider it and will give you my an
swer.'
Il told him that I had to go to Ger
many, so he asked me to make
memorandum of my reasons for abol-
ishing the censorship, saying that he
wished to consider them in private.
L udt ulSHl AGAIN met MIN at the
grand ball at the palace. Mr.. Nc
Cormick, our ambassador, was also
present, and, turning to him, the car
again said that he was very favorably
impressed with my proposal and rea-
soning.
During the next week I was in
Germany, and on my return to ST. Pc
tersburg 1 learned that the censorship
had been abolished. Besides that, our
representative in that city can now
visit the ministries and get what news
they have there. Formerly only one
of them was open to him.
