Mhe new year wos ushered in most auspic- ously for ex-(ongrossman Lerkins. He Pbas beon appointed to the senatorfal chair o) Pe west all tho evening. % iade vacant by the death of Sonator Plumb. All day the governor discussed tho spua- torlal situation with himself. Early this morning his private secrotary announced that Governor Humphroy would receive no callers, donying himselt to all alike, whether on a private, public or po- litical errand. At 10 o'clock the gov- ernor entered the executive office and began pacing up and down the floor. The Ientenants of the various candidates were on nand. They were informed by the governor that ho would not raceive them. His wishes served to count for littlo. The numerous callors proceeded to crowd in the execative roception room, doclaring they would walt fora favorable opportunity, and it took con- siderable argument on tho part of the pri- vate secrotary to dislodge them from their vantage ground. This, however, was even- tually accomplished and the governor for the first time 1n o weok was left to consider the situation alone. The licutenants mizrated to the Copoland, where most of them had head- quarters, Perking Recclves His Appointment, All day long tho feeling was strong that ex-Congressman_Porkins would receive tho appolntment and when it became known that the govornor had signed his commission as sonator from tho state of Kansas no one, eithera titizon or a_politiclan, evincod auy very considerable surprise. ‘Tlie commission was, signed at b:15 o'clock and immediately takon to Mr. Perkins, who was at the Copc- land, The news spread rapidly throughont the city and ina briof timo a large uumber of citizens gathered at tho hotel, irrespective of political _belicf, and offered Mr. Por- ks their conurnlululimw; nor w his former politicnl contestants in the race for the appointment delingquent in that spect.

The contest for the appowtment was an unique ono even in Kansas politics.- Tho death of Senator Plumb had scarcely been announced before the various aspirants began laying wires for the succession to his seat. Beforo his pody reacted Kansas the contest had fairly commenced, nnd during the funeral journey from i{ausas City to the grave the war went merrily on. The day after the funeral the political nosts, which had been in attenda apon the ‘solemn occasion, assembled in Topeka. The various candidates wont to work with a system, They established headquarters at the various hotels, chose their licutenants and mar- shaled their forces as if thore was a whol Jegisiature to work upon instead of one governor. The governor declded to givo each candi- date and his friends an open tearing for the presentation of theiv clmms, and as each can- didate was announced he was given a num ber according to the succession of his an- nouncement. Two candidates were henrd each day untii the list v.as exhausted, the exbaustion of the hsttaking pluce Wednes- day. Since that time the woverror has ap- parently boon thinking the matter over, welghing the claims of the various asvirants although it is said by some that his choic wia made unmediately after the death of Senator Plumb was announced, The most prominent candidates wero Con- ressman Funston, ex-Congressma ajor J. K. Hudson, editor of the Topekn Capital, the republican newspaper of the state; Beujamin Simps States District Attorney J, \W. Ady, a host of obscure candidates and a numbe' © tark horses. Guorge W.

The battle for senatorial houors which began fmmediately after tho Novewmber election has been uuremittiogly waged over sluce by the followers of Senator Sherman und ex-Gov- ernor Foraker, until the openiug of the new yoar tinas the lines so closely drawa tbav pine-tenths of the republicun legisiators have been compelled o oponly doclare thelr profer- eaces, 'I'his loaves but a little squad of wavore and 80 ntense the public anxioty the s00n yiold to tho general ~ clamo , and by theiv vpen declarations furnish tha solution to the contost. There will ba ninety tare ropublicans in the kenatoriii caucus, and of this number it is conceacd by th opposition sides that Shorman and Foraker each have about forty-two or forty-throe votes - definitely pledged. Of the eight or nine non-committal, each slde mu'ses Dositivo Saims of having sdorot plodgos of fully Lwo thirds of the doubtrul, but as these geutle men thomselves refuse’ to givo any publio declaration of thewr intentlons, wid state they ure waiting to hear fully ' from thely onstituents, no oue cau positively prediot how thoy will ultimatoly vote.

So far as the two candidates themselves are concerned, each seems oqually confident this evoning. Neither cares to give figures and both refer tho interviewer to some trasted lieutonant when details are demanded. ““T'he pross must excuse me from anything in the way of anintervirw,” said ex-Gov- ernor Foraker pleasantly, ‘as I have pre- ferred all along to say as little as possible for publication. There is nothing in the situation today to ulter my hopefulaass as to the outcome, My friends here can probably ive you more details as to men and figures than Iean.” The friends of the ex-governor expressed the greatest contidonce in his ultimate suc- cess nad insisted that they bad ussurances of support from more than half the members- clect. Claims of Foraker's Lieatenant, *We do not give names,” said George Cox of Cincinnuti, Foraker's Hamilton connty manager, “‘because it would be unjust to ger- tlemen who have interests in the coming houso and senate caucuses tomorrow after- noon, and whose personal interests or can- didates for house ofices might suffer opposition should they now doclare them- selves, Somo of thuso geatlemen are candidntes themselves aad others have candi- dates for house or sonute offices, and they quito naturally beliove in postponing the senutorial matter uutil after tho preliminary caucuses are held. The house caucus, to nominate a speaker and minor officials, and the senate eaucus, to nominato a president pro tem. and subordinate officers, wiil both bo held tomorrow noon and eveuing. After they aro over the doubtful members will promptly doclare themselves on the sena- toriul question and the American public will know by tomorrow night who is to succeed John Sherman, Wo claim]tbat it will bo Joseph B, Foraker and we basa this clain upon personal assurances we have received from over half the members of the general assembly.” onfident Sherman Workers, A visit to the Shorman hendquarters found his followers equally cheerful in ths assur- ance of success, “We are not giving figures or names,” suid Chaivman Haha of the state committe who is Senator Snerman’s chief lieutenant, **but we oluim the nominution of John Sher- man. We already have plodges enough to warrant this statement, and we expect in- casea strougth from the few remaining doubtful members.” The doubt surrounding the position of Mr. Thomas of Stark county, whose nomination 15 said 1o have been due to the Foraker in- fluence, leads many persons to believe taat tho gentleman’s detions are due to the in- fluence of Major MeKinley, and that the gov- ernor-clect is taking a hand in a quict way against Mr. Foraker. Mr. Thomas is prom- inent in labor nafit is claimed that ho owes his to the pececanl efforts cf John P. Jones, president of tho ate 1 organization of United Mine workers, a man whoso preference for Foraker is equally well krown. However this may be, M omas hus just declared himself unequivocally for Sherman, and mauy of thy Forakers of Stark county nota fow of the CX-Zovernor's supporiors here, dectare that Major McKiuley has influ ouced the course of tho representative of his county. T'his growing storm was promptly checked tonight by Mr. Cox, Foraker's C cinuati manage Malatalned u Strict Neat ““This report does great injustice to Gov- ernor Mciinley,” said he, “and I want to suy now that M. Foraker and his friends do not hold McKintey respousible for Thomas’ actions. \Wo believe the governor has muin- tained throughout a position of strict neu- trality and he should not be hastily accused of interference, He has been fair and frank and has taken no part.”” Reprosentative Axline of Perry, who has been classed in the doubtful list,with a prob- able leaning towards Foraker, has declared for Shermuan. Represeutative Allan of (ireene reached the city and confirms tho revort that he will vote for Goyernor For- aker. Thus the day's declarations show no relative change in the situation, the eight or nine doubtful men still holding the key to the situation. Tho Cuyahowa county, or Cloveland delegation, will ba somewhat di- vided, ulthough Sehator Sherman will un- nubly got 8 majority of the eleven votes. Hus friends have been clalming all of them, but this claim is an_ extravagant one, Governor Foraker's friends even nsisting that they will get as many as four votes from the Cuyiinoga delegation.” However this may be, no effort is boing lost to win some of tho Cleveluna votes for the ex-governor., Petition for the Ex-Go A second delegation of Cley arrived today in Foraker's in a petition to. which was attachod the sigoa- tures of 1,000 represen! opresent- iug particularly th sniupiw interosts of Cleveland, who malie a very strong appeal to the Cuyahoga delegation to supportJ.

Lirtee Rock, Ark., Jan. 1.—There is great excitemeat in railroad circles hero today over the ejection of a car luad of “scab” railroad cmployes at Argenta, who wore enroute from Indianapolis and Loulsvillo to Arkansas Pass to relieve the strike on the San Antonio & Arkansas Pass road. A telegram had been recoived hore ordering brenkfast for the party, and in this way the information was received by the rallvoad employes at Argenta and Little Rock. Couductor McElroy, who had charge of the train carrying the special Southern Pacilio sleoper in which the party was trav- eling, received a telogram tn & point above Poplar Blufts, Mo., signod Yardmaster Green at Agenta, asking him m cut out the car at Poplar Bluffs, Tho order scomed so unaccountablo that McElroy telograpted back to Green for further orders, Green was astounded at the mquiry, being utterly 1gnorant of such an order, and telegraphod 7 to bring the car on to Agenta. At 10:30 o'cloci this morning o crowd of several hundred men, chiefly rmlroad em- ployes, wera at the Fort Smith & Iron Moun- tain crossing when the “Cannon Ball” from St. Louls steamed up. No_sooner had the train arrived when a tall, burly man with a black slouch hat cried' out to the crowd: “Cut the hose and we will drop the car out.” A hundred men rushed \o do s bidding, the hose was cut and the ear with another sleeper 1n tho rear were cut out. When the train started . for Little Rock the mob, having neglocted to cut tho bell cord, the engineer’s bell rang and he stopped tho train. By this time all the enzins whis- tles in the yard begun to blew, and it secmed that bedlam had broken. lopse. A hundred men rushed into tho fated sleoper, driving the occupants, some forty telograph oper- ators, machinists aud prakemen, now thor- ouguly alarmed, from_the car and into the swamps a hufidred feev beyond. Most of them were driven into a pound, through which they floundered, followed by thei 7 v~ suers. The slecpers were rocoupled to the .\ in and it crossed the river into Little Rock, where a crowd of moen boarded the car and with knives cut to pieces all the bagzago of the unfortunate scabs, tossing it through tno car windows into the yards J. H. Littletietd, who was in ciarge of the party of scabs, and soveral of his companions who'esoaped tho mob, having taken refuge in the rear slecper, took a train for Texas, whilo the other members of tho party aro hidden in the swamps awaiting an oppor- tunity to escape, ‘The railroad wuthorities are enraged at this action of their employes, Tho various labor railway unions are strong in their sympathy for thoir striking brothors in Texas, and it is. fortunate that noue of the party sent to take their places received no scrious personal injuries. et DEEP SNOWS IN COLORADO.
