Senator Wilson, of Iowa, from committee on Judiciary, reported the following bill as substitute for the original package liquor bill now under consideration in the senate: "That when any intoxicating liquors shall be transported from one state or territory to another, or from any foreign country such liquors shall, when the actual and continuous transportation of the same shall have terminated be considered to have ccasod to be the subjects of interstate commerce and bo a part of the common mass of property within the state or territory and subject to the respective powers of tho state or territory in respect of all police regulations of prohibition, regulations or taxations." The oeonle of Kansas should not forget- But the conflict is one-sided, ine roof-reader has it all his own way.

Le has somehow won the confidence of the public, and he abuses the compositor to his heart's content and the public seems to believe him. There are two sides to every question, however, and because the compositor meekly accepts all this blame it does not follow that it is always his due. I well remember the night I set up a review in which occurred the quotation from Gray's "Elegy:" "Far from the madding crowd. The proof-reader marked it "maddening." I went in to see him about it.

The resubmission convention that has been advertised for some weeks met yesterday, with some three hundred delegates present All the larger cities of the state were represented except Kansas City. They were of ail shades of politics. The meeting was called to order by president Allen, who has been the leader of the movement In his address to the convention ha announced the purpose of tho gathering to bo to induce the governor to call a special session of the legislature to submit to tbe people a proposition to repeal the prohibitory constitutional amendment He declared that tbe resubmission republicans of the state have determined to call a halt, and will hereafter vote for no man or party committed to prohibition. A committee was appointed to escort Governor Humphrey to the halt, but after a half hour's waiting the committee returned and Marsh Murdock of Wichita reported that there seemed to be misapprehension; tbe governor would meet them as individuals, but not as a committee. He would receive a committee with a memorial and reply to it Another committee was then appointed, which soon returned and reported.

The governor still declined to attend, but repeated that he would receive a memorial and give it attention. Lucien Baker, the prominent attorney of Leavenworth, said the time had come when tho people must arise above party lines and organize a state central committee. A memorial was read, and a vote taken that it should not be presented to the governor. The memorial claims that prohibition does not prohibit, and declares that resubmissionists in the republican party will no longer support any man or party committed to prohibition. A series of resolutions was adopted reciting the complaints of the resubmissionists at great length, and a motion was made to proceed to organizo a party to carry out the purposes ot the convention.

This aroused opposition on the part of Mr. Douglass, who said he was a republican out and out, and nothing could drive him from tbe party. Any movement for organization must be strictly confined to tho party. Murdock endorsed tho declaration and Lucien Baker opposed It, but finally a committee of fifteen was appointed to define the purposes of the proposed organization. Original Package Legislation.

Washington May 20. Tne Senate to-day took up tho bill referred from the judiciary committee, subjecting imported liquors to the provisions of tuo laws of the several states. Senator Wilson, of Iowa, who had introduced the bill in the first instance, and had afterward reported it back, addressed the senate in explanation and advocacy of it Senator Vest said congress could delegate a power vested in it by the constitution to any state or any number of states. He believed that it could not To do so would be to destroy the interstate clause of the constitution and all purposes for which it was enacted. So far from having any unformity, there would be, in that case, diversity and hostility.

Missouri would shut out one article of interstate commerce, Kansas another, Iowa another and South Carolina another, and so on until there would be chaos from one end of the Union to the other. Stanley Openly Denounced. London, May 20. Persons of a peaceable turn of mind, who have a weak spot in their hearts for arbitration, disarmament and other non-warlike schemes, have had much to grieve them lately. Ia the first place Mr.

Stanley, who has heena sort of pot of these gentry, has astounded them by -sneering st them in public as old grannies and fools. Nothing could be more cynical, nor more cruel than the explorer's sudden snd candid declaration of contempt for the peace contingent. Heretofore he has always allowed himself to be landed to the skies, tho pioneer of civilization and Christianity, the opener up of commerce, the deliverer of the blacks from the bondage of ignorance; the friend of the missionary, but now he throws off the mask- and stands reveal ed as the gigantic land grabber, pure and simple; the acquirer of territory by peaceable methods if possible, but If not, then by force, at least the religious societies snd peace organizations such of them as have recovered their breath since Stanley's recent speech are now saying these things about him. That Denver Bank Bobber. St.

Louis, May 26. Mansfield King, the self-confessed murderer, horse theif and all-around criminal, in jail at Clayton, the county seat of St. Louis county, has been identified as Wells, the Denver bank robber, who compelled Cashier Moffatt, of the First National bank of Denver, to hand over $21,000 in cash, in March, 1889, at the point of a revolver. King was arrested for horse stealing some some days ago by the sheriff of St Louis county and placed In jail at Clayton. After his arrest he was taken very sick, became communicative, and confessed to be the author of several crimes, one of which was tbe robbery of Cashier Moffatt It will be remembered that be entered the president's private office and holding in his hand a bottle of some harmless stuff which he representel to be dynamite, demanded the money or he would destroy tbe whole bank and all the lives, his own Included.

Regarding tho question from the internal revenue standpoint, General Devol said: "No beer stamp is provided for a less quantity of beer than an eighth barrel, and brewers cannot bottle beer except such as is drawn from the stamped kegs." He therefore concluded that an eighth barrel of beer is the smallest quantity that may rightfully be termed an "original package." The Santa Fe Bis; Purchase. New York, May 20.

This deal adds 1,400 miles of road to the Atchison system besides giving it absolute control of the Atlantic Pacific railroad. The acquisition of the 'Frisco will give tbe Santa Fe a St Louis line, and will put it in a position to fight the Missouri Pacific throughout its entire territory, cutting into its business by both the main line and the Iron Mountain. This gives the Santa Fe tho immense mileage of ,927.2 miles in the states, besides its Mexican ro id, the So-nora railway.
