nent republicans do not gee the necessity of passing the bill in the houre unless the senate rules aro to be so changed that an anti-illibustering law can prevail in that body the same as in the house. Congressman Morrill says that he had never known during his service in congress such a scarcity of local legislation before the house as has been the case for the past two or three months. This hus been due to the fact that general legislation has been kept to the front to the exclusion of bills in which members are personally interested. He thinks, however, that the last six days session will lie devoted to the smaller measures on the calendar, and members will then have an opportunity to dispos of bills of local interests to their districts.

June 13. The dependent pension bill, as agreed upon by the conference committee andropcrted to the house, after providing for the pensioning of dependent parents, says that all persons who served three months or more in the military or naval service of the United States during the war of the rebellion, and who has been honorably discharged therefrom, and who are now, or who may hereafter be suffering from a mental or physical disability of a permanent character, not tho result of their own vicious habits, which incapacitates them for the performance of manual labor in such a degreo as to render them unable to earn a support, shall be placed upon the list of invalid pensioner of the United States and be entitled to receive a pension not to exceed $12 per month and not lens than tti per month, proportioned to their inability to earn support, such pension to continue during the existence of such disability.

Gov-, ernor Huvey, from the former state, made a service pension an issue. He talked it on the stump and pledged the republican party to it in the campaign of 1888. He does not hesitate to say that Indiana was carried for Harrison on the distinct understanding that a service pension would be voted. When congress met the Indiana Grand Army posts led off with memorials to congress to redeem their pledges of 1X88. They were ably seconded by Kansas.

The old soldiers of other states manifested interest in the subject, but Indiana and Kansas have been afire from the start. Yesterday's action settles that there will be no service pension. The disappointment in the two, states will be very great. Responsibility for, the failure rests with the senate, which body utterly refuses to accept the principle in any: form. Some senators who professed, for the benefit of soldier constituents, to be for a Bervice pension were really against it.

Not much commercial paper ottering, but at most points the demand is fair, with a suffi cient supply. Special from Wichita: B. H. Clover, president of the state alliance, addressed a secret meeting of the alliance and industrial union. He proposed to induce the organization at its convention to place a ticket in the field.

The O.

P. Decision. Leanenwoiith, Kan. The United States court room was crowded when Judge Caldwell rendered his decision in the famous original package case. Judge Caldwell said; Eleven different persons have separately petitioned this court for writs of habeas corpus to relieve them from alleged imprisonment in violation of tho constitution of the United States.

The cases were heard together, and while there is some difference the minor details, the material and controlling facts are the same in all the cases. Prosecutions were instituted against the petitioners charging them with selling liquor in violation of the laws of this state. They were arrested, and failing to give bail were committed, and thereupon filed their petitions in this court alleging that they were imprisoned in violation of the constitution fit the United States, in virtue of the criminal prosecution commenced against them in the state of Kansas for selling liquor in that state in alleged violation of its constitution and laws. That the liquor for the selling of which they were prosecuted and imprisoned, was shipped by its owners, who were citizens and residents of the state of Missouri, from that state into this state and sold by the petitioners as agents of such shippers and im they have paid one-third cash, balance mmitte on rules toward their bill. This bill changed in price, and the rise ot cents in oil is purely speculative.

A better demand for refined sugar is alleged as a reason for au advance ot cent in price, but other reports indicate that dealers are not buying freely at the high prices asked. The general level of prices is but a shade higher than a week ago, and the prevailing tendency seems at present to be toward a lower range of quotations for a time. The demands for various forms of manufactured iron and steel is good and prices steady. The wool market has been dull. Philadelphia and Chicago reports indicate that growers aro holding for higher prices, but no improvement is seen in woolen goods, though dresB goods are in fair request here, and stocks of light weight cloths are small.

Flannel mills aro generally cutting down production. The reports from other cities show a healthy state of trade, with clear signs of improvement where better crop prospects have immediate influence. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days numbered 212. as compared with 205 last for congress and Nick Eeitz for state to be paid in one and two years, luey are naturally very anxious to see congress pass the deep harbor appropriation bill. The Topeka Capital has been incorporated with a capital stock of auditor, lfesolutions were also passod declaring for separate county, state and congressional tickets.

The directors elected are all connected with shows not ne of the candidates to be appropriates $1,000,000 to be immediately available, for the improvement of tho deep water harbor at Galveston, and it is further provided that the appropriation of a year shall continue for five years, thus making $0,000,000 in all. This has been an appropriation which was left out of the regular river and harbor bill, the understanding being that the Texas deep water bill and the bill for the improvement of Sault Ste. Marie canal, in Michigan, should go together as independent measures. The Sault Ste.

Marie canal bill carries an appropriation of The river and harbor bill passed the house a couple of weeks ago, and about the same time a resolution was introduced authorizing the committee on rules to fix a day for the consideration of the Texas deep water and Sault Ste.

The court further holds that in a prosecution for the sale of intoxicating liquors where a controversy arises as to the intoxicating quality of the beverage sold, testimony that the defendant had a jug of whisky in stock at his place of buisness about the time of the alleged sale, and that the persons who drank the beverage became intoxicated, tends to sustain the charge of the state and is admissible in evidence. Capital: Thirty-four years ago Judge W. C.

Webb was living in Wisconsin. It was the year 1856. He had been appointed notary public and was ambitious to have a good seal. There were no copper-plate printers so far west then, and he went eighty miles to Milwaukee. They took a copper coin and hammered the suifaee smooth, and then an inscription was graven upon it as follows: C.

Whb State of Wisconsin notary public." A printer was found in the person of E. G. Rosa, who mounted the coin and printed 200 impressions on a common rotary press. The judge has recently found one of the printed slips from the old coin and sent it to this office. Mr.

Ross was subsequently United States senator from Kansas, and the boy who attended the press is a present employe of the Capital. Capital: About noon an excursion train of five cars, all full of prssecgers and with each of the platforms crowded too, came in from Fort Scott. There were about three hundred people from Fort Scott, one hundred from Garnett, and one hundred from Blue Mound Waverly and other points along the road. Among the Ft. Scott crowd were Methodist Sunday school of that place and the Kansas Centrul Normal college students and band.

They were altogether a fine lot of people, and Topeka was proud to entertain them for tho day. The occasion of the excursion was the festival chorus at Oakland. The excursionists visited that and the State house, the art exhibition at Library ill, Washburn college, the Santa Fe shops and other places of interest, took rides on the electric railroad, and after seeing the whole of the town thev started homeward at 6:30 o'clock. All day long half a dozen men were engaged in hoisting a huge rock to cap the pillars of the west end of the north row of Corinthians.

The particular rock causing so much trouble and labor was not a large one. It measured sixty cubio feet, which, at 150 pounds per cubio foot, would show a weight of 9,000 pounds.

New York, June 14. The stringent measures adopted by the secretary of agriculture to stamp out the violent disease pleuro-pneu-monis of cattle from its last stronghold in counties of Kings and Queens, on Long Island, has created tremendous excitement and aroused the dairymen into an attitude of armed rebellion. It is understood that Secretary Busk has recently received private intimation that unless this disease be effectively extirpated a severe quarantine will be proclaimed by England against the importation of American cattle. This would paralyze one of the most important branches of American industry for the time being, and result in incalculable loss to western cattle raisers. Last week Secretary Rusk sient two days in New York and energetically impressed upon the government agent for the eastern states, the chief inspector for the state of New ork, the urgent necessity of gathering in and killing nil cattle diseased or exposed.

A great raid was therefore organized and executed by the two gentlemen named at the head of a large posse of the bureau employes. The dairymen were not found unprepared for a vigorous resistance. They launched paving stones, brick bats and other missiles upon the invaders, hand to hand encounters took place and in some in stances pistols were drawn. Some of tho herds were so strongly defended that the bureau forces were unable to capture them. It is understood that there will be other raids Bnd that Secretary Rusk will not modify the stringency of his measures until this last lurking place of pleuro-pueumonia be effectively conquered and cleansed.

A question was raised in the argument as to whether the smallness of some of the packages sold by some of the petitioners did not deprive them of the protection given to senders of original packages. Single bottles of beer and whisky packed or nailed up in boxes made of paisteboard or wood were shipped and sold in that shape. The boxes containing one bottle were not packed it.

any other box, but shipped singly or. separate as so many distinct and separate packages. It is not perceived why in the absence of a regulation by congress to the contrary the importer may not determine for himself the size and form of the packages he puts up for export. The idea that smali packages of liquor cannot be treated as original packages because they are small, springs from the conviction back of it that liquor in any form or sized package is not a legitimate subject of commerce. That question is put at rest by tho decision of the supreme court of the United States until congress shall act.
