MAY USE TELEPHONES.
House Changes Its Mind on This
Reform Move.

This afternoon before going into the
primary fight, the house rescinded
it's action shutting off the use of the
long distance telephone to members
free Of charge, which was to take
effect at nom.
Clark Beeson intro duced a resolu-
ton providing that each member be
allowed to use the long distance tele-
phone once each day at the expense
of the state. This resolution was
adopted with very little opposition,
and the little furry of reform" was
ever without any serious damage.
The committee on mileage made its
report showing how much is com
ing to each member. About $500
is carried in the report.
DR.. J. H. Briereley of Cloud county
introduced a resolution expressing the
desire of the house that Jessie Morri-
son be pardoned on the ground that
Governor Hoch has par6oned more
men than he has women. The house
refused to take DIR. Brierley seriously,
and voted down his motion to sus-
pend the rules and vote on his resolu-
ton.

Big FIGHT IS ON.
Discussion Started in the House On
Primary Measure.

The primary election fight in the
house this afternoon opened up at 2:15
o'clock.
The committee on elections filed a re-
port favoring the split primary. The
report was signed by Chatter, Kenni-
son, GRUMPY, Wheeler, and Schmidt.
A minority report was filed in favor
of the Stubs bill The minority re-
port was signed by Dawson, Davidson,
Clark and Tannahill
The house then went into committee
of the whole for the consideration of
these reports. w. w. Padgett of Bour-
bon was called to the chair.
w. Y. Morgan suggested that instead
of reading the committee report in FULL
that the bill be taken UP section for
section.
Mr.. Stubs objected to this because
he thought the members should know
the way the whole bill read. Morgan
withdrew his suggestion.
Just at this point the pages distribu-
ted little handbills bearing a reprint Of
the editorial printed on January Is in
the Topeka Capital endorsing the split
primary" The Capital is supposed to
be a Stubs organ and it's editorial
position was deemed to be in conflict
with Mr.. Stubs.
The reading of the Stubs primary
bill consumed about 30 minutes of time

TILLMAN IN A HURRY.
He Wants to Know About Those
Panama Canal Bonds.

Washington. Jan ao.-An animated de-
bate occurred in the senate today in
which Mr.. Tillman made many comments
on what he termed the failure of the sec
rotary of the treasury to obey the resolu-
ton of the senate calling for information
concerning the recent issue of the Pana-
ma canal bonds. Mr.. Aldrich on entering
the chamber explained that the delay in
the secretary's response to the resolution
had resulted from the necessity of max
ing in full statement of all the reasons
that had influenced the secretary and
that had taken more time than had been
anticipated He assured the senator that
the information would be forthcoming
and spoke in high terms of the secretary
of the treasury.
Secretary Cortelyou telephoned to Sena-
tor Aldrich that the data relating to the
issue of the Panama bonds, as well as
other financial Information desired by the
senate, would not be ready until the end
of the week, owing to its mass and the
necessity of care in its make up. The
financial legislation proposed by the
American bankers association was called
to the attention of the finance committee
by one of the members and discussed to
some extent. According to the views of
some of the committee members there is
small chance of the adoption of any of
that associations ideas.

SENATORS AT ODDS.
Have WrangIe About Considering
Primary Bills.

An attempt was made in the SEN
ate this afternoon to advance senate
bill No. 3, the Stubs primary bill, on
the calendar, which would give it
preference in consideration over the
Caldwell or split ticket bill, which
headed the list under general orders
for today, the latter being known also
as the Fitzpatrick bill.
The chair ruled that no bill could
be advanced on the calendar except
by two-thirds vote. except by unani-
NOUS consent, as this would be a
practical suspension of the rules.
At 2:30 the senate resolved itself
into committee of the whole for the
consideration of general orders
Senator Simons being called to the
chair. asked to be excused and Sena-
tor Hayden was induced to preside.
Young moved that the committee
temporarily pass over the Caldwell
bill and take up the Young bill, No.
5, for consideration.
Fitzpatrick argued at length
against this motion, as such a course
would not be in harmony with the
action of the senate last Saturday.

Torpedo Boat F1otilla Will Go There
After All.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Admiral
Evans in dispatch to the navy de-
partment from Rio de Janeiro today
suggests that the torpedo boat de-
stroyers f1otilla visit Buenos Ayres. 1t

however he indicates his intention of
starting them at once for BaenosAyres,
where they will lay over for perhaps
not more than a day, replenish their
coal supplies and then proceed again,
joining the battleshps at Sandy Point.

LANGUAGE OF DIPLOMACY.
How Bismarck Discouraged Oficiss

The question of a diplomatic lam

the first time in our recollection by
the japanese within the last week
two. Up to the present time treatie
have been made out in the languag
of the west as we'll as in that of China
and in each case 1t has been stipu
lated that If there were found to b
any difference between the two tn
western should be held to be the cor
rect version. But as a rule, we believe
communications with native officials
have been in Chinese, and the Jap

tongue have attempted to create an
awkward precedent.
