Berlin, March 19.-An official dis

here was published today denying in
detail the Pekin telegram to the Lon
don Times asserting that Germany
was intriguing in Chinese internal
affairs. The semi-official North Ger

message by saying that the Times
statements are calculated to create
mistrust against Germany in the Uni

Kansas State Legislature Formally Ends
Session.
5A BILLS ENACTED into LAW.
Out Of a Total of 1908 Bills Intro
duced in the House of Representa-
tives During the Past Session 693
Were Killed.

Topeka, March 13.-The 1905 ses-
sion of the Kansas legislature is now
a matter of history. 1t went out Of
business at 10 o'clock on March 10.
Five sentatiVes-Stubbs, Le-
land, Bird, Stone and Murphy-and
two senators-Smith, of Edwards, and
Dolley-attended the obsequies. Gov
ernOr Hoch signed the miscellaneous
bill the first thing this morning. That
cleaned up all the bills before him.
Lieutenant Governor Hanna and
Speaker Stubs got together and de-
cided to wind things up quickly. I'm
der resolution both branches were
to adjourn at noon. Hanna and Stubs
turned the clocks up to meet the
emergency. Hanna appointed Smith
and Dolley and Stubs appointed
Bird, Stone and Murphy as a joint
committee to wait upon the governor
and ascertain If he had any more mes
sages for the legislature. The COM
mittee reported that the governor had
none.
What is the pleasure of the
house?' asked Stubs.
move we adjourn sine die, -
said Leland.
The motion was put and carried and
Stubs dropped the gavel.
Governor Hanna put the same ques-
ton in the senate at the same time
and it carried unanimously This
ended the most important and salts.
factory session of the legislature
Kansas has ever had.
There were ZOOS bills introduced
in the house and 954 in the senate,
total of 1862. OF this number 544
were enacted into law This includes
bills and resolutions. The session
laws of two years ago contained 547
laws and resolutions, or three more
than the laws of this session will con-
tain. But the 1905 book will be lar
ger than the 1903 book, because the
laws contain more words. 1t will take
almost 100 pages to print the negoti-
able instrument law The board of
control law and the railroad law will
also take up lot of space. The drain
age bill will take at least thirty
pages.
Out of a total of 1,00S bills intro
duced in the house of representatives
during the past session, 693 were
killed.
An examination of the records
shows that larger proportion of the
bills introduced early in the session
were slaughtered than in the latter
portion. This goes to show that the
theory that bill must be introduced
early in order to stand much show of
is a mistake. The reason
more of the early bills were killed is
because all of the early bills were Of

best considered very hastily.
