bers of the G. A. r. posts of the city
as they assembled at Lincoln Post hall
to take action with reference to the
disputed appearance here OF the circus
on May 80.
Probably if Mr.. Franklin had been a
younger man he would not have been
able to hold his own so well but he
looked almost like a veteran himself
and it seemed to the veterans present
as if they were dealing with a man
who was one Of them.
No objections were Interposed to the
performances which the circus is billed
to give but a motion which was put by
Captain Titus that the request be made
that no parade be given was carried
without dissenting vote. A second
motion was then offered to present the
petitions to Mayor Davis requesting
that he sign the ordinances passed al
the special meeting of the council.
The four bands, horses and wagons
which We're offered to the 6. A. r. fer
their parade were rejected with thanks
J. NJ Dumenfl. who presented the mo-
ton, said in conclusion. At the meet
ing of the council it was declared that
no damage could result to the city by
circus had not paid its license fees and
had no vested rights. Now 1t appears
that they have paid for their license to
show although the performances are
given outside of the city. The city has
no right to take a penny from the Wal
lace shows for it gives them nothing in
return. If I were in The place of the
Wallace people [ would demand the re-
turn of that S165 and would get it too"
J. o. Talbot, auditor of the shows,
presented the attitude which his side
has taken: IF the parade VIII conflict
with your services We won't give 1t.
We would like however, to give 1t be-
tween the time of the close of your ser
vices in the morning and the beginning
of your parade in the afternoon. We
are not asking the mayors consent to
parade. We are asking your consent .

JUST A PROMISE OF RAIN.
several Times slight Showers Have
Fallen Today.

A good, bad and Indifferent variety of
weather has been Topeka's portion to-
day; the bad and Indifferent predom-
mating almost entirely, though there
has been a small bit and quite small
one at that which has been passa bly, fair,
if ray or two of sunshine mixed with
an indifferent temperature could be call
ed such.
There has scarcely been an hour since
nine o'clock that a trace of rain has
not been recorded though in no instance
has the precipitation amounted to more
than that. The sky is heavily hung
with dark heavy clouds which hang
low, and the distant rurnbling of thun-
der tends to strengthen the prediction
made by the weather department that
decoration day with Its parade on Kan
sas avenue as we'll as the circus parade
at the fair grounds will be one of little
sunshine and plenty of rain
brisk 20 mile an hour wind is blow
ing from the southeast and the temper
atures are comparatively a few degrees
higher than they were yesterday and
the promise is made that the tempera-
lures will continue notwithstanding the
fact that showers are promised for this
evening and tomorrow.

Washington, May 29.=At a two
hours session of the conferees on the
railroad rate bill today a number or
undisputed amendments were agreed
to tentatively, all of the disputed points
were passed over and considerable
time was devoted to a discussion of the
socaI1ed Jim Crow car provision.
This amendment has given the Repub
lican conferees some confusion be-
cause of the opposition made by
northern negroes against the alleged
principle involved IN the separation or
the races.
Senator TilIman announced that he
would not consent to any change in
the senate provision.

A Great Roadmaker.

From the Kansas City Journal.
AS the smoke of battle clears away
in New York, some of the conspicu-
Gus participants are seen to come out
not disfigured and still in the ring.
Among those answering this descrip-
tion is Mr.. Hartman and western
people generally are mighty glad that
such Is the case The illustrated
papers OF the country are full of pic
lures and articles descriptive of Mr..
Hartman up. against the searching
inquiry engineered by Mr.. Hughes.
1t appeared that Mr.. Hartman had
never had anything from the Equit-
able, except what mOney-lending
institution is always glad to give to a
good borrower. He gave good secur-
ity, paid current rates of interest and
settled whatever he owed whenever
10 fell due. 1t further appeared that
Mr.. Hartman disliked to see Mr..
Ryan control the Equitable and tried
to secure participation in the deal.
This was a natural and proper desire,
and it was not established that he
used anv threats or operated any
is probable that he used as an argu-
ment his ability to help Mr.. Ryan
ward off trouble, but that was a prop
er consideration to urge. It would
likely have been better il Mr.. Harri-
man had told Mr.. Hyde that he, Hyde.
was uoG nj W O0 MINISTER OI rance
and that he, Hartman, would not
even mention him to the president;
but all men cringe from holding the
mirror up to their friends. And Mr..
Hartman probably reflected that the
president would inevitably make
some appointments that would be
worse than sending Mr.. Hyde to the
French place.
Mr.. Hartman would not particular
ly interest western people il the lat
ter did not feel under direct obliga-
tiOns to him for certain things. He
has taken the Southern and Union
Pacific systems ont of the list OF the
public-be-damners and is moving
heaven and earth to make these prop
critics serve the people. He has pour
ed new money into his lines like
water and has given unstinted per-
SOnal atten ton to the details of the
business. The reforms which the
were so many that Mr.. Hartman has
not yet, by atty means, worked a per-
feet cure, but he has done wonders.
The peoplesOf Kansas City and Kan
