MooNsHINE STILL IN KANSAS.
Illicit Plant Discovered by Officers
in Prohibition State.

TOPEKA, KAs,, Nov. 0 Topeka now
steps into the lime light with an Illicit
still hidden in the brush and woods In
a ravine in Lyon county, just like a
still In the mountains of Kentucky.
The United States marshal, W. II.
Mackey, and ]. M. Simpson, the Unit
ed States revenue collector, found the
still on the farm OF Joseph Rossilion,
Frenchman, living twelve miles
southeast Of Olpe. 1t is said that
Rossillion has been operating the still
for ten or twelve years, but the officers
were unable to locate 1t till recently
Rossillion was taken before Judge
Pollock Of the United States court anc
held to the grand jury under $500
bond. The still and all the necessary
apparatus for turning out "wet' good
were taken to Leayenworth to avail
the trial.
Rosslllion has been operating
vineyard, and in connection with !
has made bis own wines. In order t
keep the wines in this country, it !
necessary to add some preseryinI
agent, and Rossillion proceeded T
manufacture a high grade Of alcohol
which he called tamrac, for that pul
pose. Considerable complaint wa
made by people living in the neigf
borhood because their sons would &c
drunk on liquor supplied by the opel
ator OF the Illicit still. This led tina
| ly to the investigation. Rossillio
claimed to the officers that he WI
not making any sales and only occa
ionally gave any of his liquor away.

BAILEY WILL SPEAK
WARM TIMES ARE EXPECTED IN
 THE SENATE.
Democrats to Hold Caucus in An Att tempt to Get Together on the Railway Rate Regulation
 Bill.
By Afford J. stofer.

Washington, April 7.-(Special)- Senator Bailey will make a speech Tuesday next, on the railway rate bill. It is understood the young Texan will confine his argument almost exclusive ly to the court review features of the proposed law. It is also stated by some of the Democratic senators. that Mir Bailey will especially discuss the legal points involved.
 Some of his friends talk as if he will create a sensation for the reason that they are confident of the Texans abili- ty virtually to disgrace Senators Knox and Lodge in the eyes of the American Bar Association, on account of the ar- guments advanced by these distinguish ed Republicans. At any rate promi nent men are looking forward to rath- CT a sensational session the day MT. Rally takes the floor. The Dem- ocratic senators propose to hold a cau- GUS after Senator Bailey speaks. The leaders realize that as matters now stand the minority will be divided and they hope to have full and free conference with a view of practically bringing about united action.
 Representative Heflin was advised by telegraph today that he would have no opposition in his district this year. MT. Heflin is receiving letters by the score from citizens of the District of Columbia endorsing his bill requiring the district street railway companies to provide "Jim Crow' cars on ac. count of such a large percentage of unruly negroes in the Capitol City. Mir Heflin's correspondents urge him to press his bill.

ANTHRACITE OWNERS MEET

All is quiet in the coal strike situa- ton. There was furry of interest when 1t became known that the opera tors held meeting in New York yes terday to discuss the miners arbitra- ton proposal, but this disappeared when the statement that the coal presi- dents were not ready to announce decision was made known.
 At the end of the first week of sus- pension found the miners staunch in their support of Mitchell.
 In the Western Pennsylvania bitum- inous districts reports indicate that 2S.- 900 men. or over 95 per cent of the miners will be at work Monday.
 A development of interest in the bit- luminous regions was the action of the Ohio operators in resolving to refuse to grant the scale of 1903, and "to make no adjustment of our differences with our miners except upon the scale and conditions which were effective until April 1, 1906 or by arbitration as pro- posed"
 From various other sections came re- ports of operators signing the 1903 scale.
 President Mitchell declared himself as well satisfied with the progress of affairs in the bituminous field. He had no comment to make on the ari- thracite situation.
