BIG REBATES PAID.
Santa Fe During 1902 Paid Back S1..
 1e8352 to Shippers.

Topeka. Kan. March B. During the year ending June 30. 1902. the Atehison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company paid back to shippers the srm o. S1 19s,- 352. This fact was developed today in the examination of w. J. Healy, freight auditor of the Santa Fe, before the at torney general, who is taking depositions in the case he has instituted to ascertain whether or not the Santa Fe is violating the antitrust law of Kansas.
 MT. Healy said that this amount con- stltutes the total of over-charres made for the year, and that he could givo the names of the shippers to whom the pay ments were made without referring to the original vouchers. lie said that it would take three or four months to get the vouchers, and on the advice of R. w. Dunlap, general attorney for the Santa Fe MT. liealy temporarily declined to consent to an examination of his vouch- CTS and records. It Is the theor.- of the state that these overcharges are in re- ality rebates and that an examination of the vouchers will show that a greater portion of the pay rents have be, made

NURSES DISMISSED
 AT GRADY HOSPITAL
REvoLTED BECAUSE THEY WERE DIS.-LEASED WITH THE CON- DUCT OF THE HEAD NURSE, MISS M'GRoARTY.

Atlanta Ga, March -(special)-The pital against their superintendent came to a climax today when the resignation of Miss McGroarty was accepted and the twelve nurses who had sent in their reslg- nations were dismissed from the service
 It seems that Miss McGroarty handed Friday and he declined to consider 1t. On Saturday the following nurses sent in their resignations with the statement that unless Miss McGroarty was dis missed they would no longer remain with the institution: Miss Annie Crenshaw. Miss Olivia Parker Miss Louise Wise, Miss Elizabeth Horne Miss Kettle Evans, Miss Cora Robinson, Miss Jessie Mat thews, Mss Ettie Hit, Miss Maud Gull ledge Miss Lilly Douglass, Miss Ruby Lee Fox. Miss Pauline Kaphan.
 These twelve nurses who were in the junior and intermediate classes were called into Superintendent Brewster's of flee and were informed that their services were no longer needed. This action was taken because the nurses had refused to go on duty Tuesday night.
 The specific complaint against the head nurse, who is Miss Margaret A. Me Groarty of New York, and who has been with the hospital about eighteen months. was that she showed more favoritlsm to negro patients than to white. Several in- stances of this were cited by the striking nurses, and the situation became so dis gusting to them, they state, that it was impossible for them to remain with the hospital unless she Is discharged.

DEADLOCK REACHED
 IN COLORADO FIGHT
TWENTY-Two REPUBLICANS JOIN DEMOCRATIC FORCES, BUT WANT LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DECLARED GOVERNOR.

Denver, Colo, March S.-Proceedings in the joint convention of the general assembly today indicate a deadlock in the gubernatorial contest. Twenty-t republican members joined forces with the democrats in a test vote, and these republicans, it is reported, have agreed tc stand together in favor of seating Lieutenant Governor Jesse Mcdonald as governor. There are forty-four other re- publican members that can be depended upon, it is said. to vote for James H. Peabody the contestor. This is five less than majority. The democratic vote
 Of thirtyNone on joint ballot ballot, will bs cast solid for Goveror Ava Adams.
 Immediately after the point covention assembled today, motion was made for the adoption of the majority report of the contest committee in favor of seating Peabody as governor.
 The democrats were silent and the an- ti-Peabody republicans moved the adop- tion of the democratic report in favor of Adams. Another anti-Peabody repub- lican moved the adoption of Senator Morton Alexanders report declaring the goyernorship vacant, thus awarding the office to Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald. Speaker w. H. Dickson, made a point of order that the Alexander report could not be adopted as there were only two | parties to the contest. Peabody and Adams. Chairman Mcdonald Qieutenant governor) sustained the point of order
 The assembly refused to sustain the chair by vote of 52 to 42 This places the Alexander report before the joint convention. Before motion could be made on the minorit-, republican report In favor of Governor Adams, a motion to take a recess until tomorrow morning was carried overwhelmingly

SENSATION SPRUNG
 BY THE GAZETTE
DECLARES REVOLT IN RUSSIAN INTERIOR SHOULD BE CRUSHED DOWN IN SAME FASHION AS THAT OF 1863.

St. Petersburg, March S.-A sensation was caused today by leading editorial in the Moscow Gazette, the traditional spokesman of autocracy, declaring that the present revolt in the interior should be put down immediately in the fashion which General Michael Muravien crushed the Polish and Lithunlan rebellion in 1863.
 'It would be a sad sacrifice of life says the Gazette but a hundred times less now than if the revolt were allowed to continue until 1t becomes absolutely necessary to take decisive steps"
 The liberals are making a great point of the fact that at the very time when Emperor Nicholas is declaring the neces- sity for a strict observance of the law he has again set the example of disregarding it. According to the law of the empire an imperial manifesto must be read in the senate. which is the legal body in the promulgation of laws, before it's publica- tion in the official Messenger. By his di- rect order this formality was omitted in the case of the recent manifesto.

BECOMING QUIET IN WARSAW.
Employers Feel That Concessions
 Will Tax Them Too Heavily.

Warsaw, March 8. ;o5 p. m.-Now that the strikes are practically over the em- ployers are beginning to find that the concessions made in order to secure a settlement of the difficulty will prove too heavy a tax on their resources. The management of the Vienna railway have decided to call n meeting of stockholders to consider the financial portion under the new conditions.
 A careful revision of the lists of em- ployes shows that the increase of wages promised the strikers adds $490,00 yearly to the pay rolls, instead of $375,0O0 as originally estimated. The city is generally quiet, largely owing to the good impress sion created by the appointment of the new governor general, M. Maximovitch. Few disturbances are now occurring. One policeman was killed last night. A drunken infantryman this afternoon dis charged his rifle in a crowded street and as a result a man and little girl fell seyerly wounded.

 FULL OF EGOTISM
Has Undertaken a Task Which Ma. poleon Could Not Have
 Accomplished.

St. Petersburg, March s--A general who has just returned from the front in- formed the Associated Press today that General Kuropatl.n's faults as com mander-in-chief are due to his bureau- cratic training and his desire to keep all the reins in his own hands. Instead of relying on the judgment ol the army commanders to carry out his general or orders. he has made of them simply or deries for the transmission of specific orders to individual units and kept con stantly before him map showing the location not only of the corps. but of the brigades and regiments. and undertook to control the movement of every unit
