men, well armed, visited the Greek
camp and warned them to leave the
country, giving them day to comply
with the order. The members of the
mob were all masked. The Greeks
called upon the sheriff for protection.
and at last accounts all were still at
the camp, but serious trouble was
feared.

the United States. The pacific spirit
displayed by the committee on revis-

of the bill. When adjournment was

verbal amendments by the committee
had been inserted.

LEGISLATURE IN SESSION
OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR
THE MEASURE.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 16.-At the first
meeting of the special session of the
Kansas legislature this afternoon a dis
position was evidenced to rush the
business through and adjourn with as
little delay as possible. Several bills
were introduced in the house, including
the direct primary and depositOrs
guarantee bills Governor Haskell of
Oklahoma was present and urged the
passage of these two bills particularly.
Governor Hoch's message was read in
both houses.
Governors Message.
The governor announces that the
Legislature is called to enact primary
election law, to strengthen the tax
commission law, to establish a bank
depositors guaranteed fund.- to en-
act railroad legislation and strengthen
the prohibition. law. The governor
says:
Il recommend the enactment of a
primary election law, state wide in its
character, to include every state, dis
ksict and county officer to be voted for
i'm. this state this year, and to include
alsoN an expression of popular choice
for United States senator and to be
operative in the selection of this year
candidates by every political party"
The governor says that the demand
for the depositors guarantee law is
overwhelming.
Would Remove All Doubt.
The governor recommends that all
doubt of the legality of the state rail-
road commissioners in establishing
tWo-cent passenger fare be removed by
enactment of straight twO-cent pas
Senger fare law and incidentally repeal
the mileage book law. A bill to
strengthen the prohibition law has
been prepared and will be submitted
by the attorney general.
The governor faVOrs amendment for
the pure food law; amendment of the
national guard law, to bring il into
harmony with the Dick bill, and an act
comforting upon the women of Kansas
the right to vote for president this
year; but the governor does not wish
these latter reforms to occupy the at
tentiOn of the legislature to the dis
placement of the specific measures to
pass which the legislature was called
together.

DOPE" SHUT OFF
FIRST OF MARCH
Law Prohibiting Importation
of Opium Into Philippine ISL
andS Soon Effective.

Washington. an. 16.Within little
over a month the law prohibiting the
Importation of opium into the Philip
pines will become effective. large
quantity of opium is consumed in the
islands, mainly by the Chinese ele-
ment, but the baneful habit of opium
smoking has been rapidly extending
among the Filipinos and even among
the Americans. Congress has passed
an act intended to correct the evil, but
there is great doubt of the ability CT
the confirmed opium user to abandon
the drug, and a considerable agitation
has been taking place in the Philip
pines with the object of securing an
extension of time permitted for the
stoppage of the traffic.
Appeal of the Collector.
John S. Hord, collector of internal
revenue of the islands, has addressed
a letter TO the provincial treasureTs
and other citizens of the Philippines,
saying that he feels authorized in de-
cIaring that congress will not extend
the time beyond the LIST of March in
which opium can be imported, and he
appeals to the Chinese in Manila to
assist his officers in preventing illicit
importation of opium after that date
Attention is called to the fact that the
insular authorities have already en-
powered the collector to reduce the
amount of opium consumed in the
islands by each individual from month
to month in the hope that by the list
of March the amount will be reduced
to a minimum, or the use Of opium
entirely abolished with respect to
many of its present victims, thus re
ducing the temptation, to illicit traffic
Large Loss of Revenue.
Collector Hord calls attention to the
large loss of revenue which the gov
eminent willingly fOregoes for the ben
eft of the people in stopping the i'm
pOrtation of opium, showing that at
present there are no less than 10000
opium smokers in the islands, who pay
annually 100000 pesos for opium to
the retail dealers. This requires the
importation annually of 100 900 kilO
grams of the drug, and the collector
urges that that money should be re-
tanned at home and applied to the de-
velopment of the islands.
