Then a resolu- tion was offered to “exclude everybody but the twenty-four electors with certificates from the governor in their pockets.” “The motion was carried unanimously. Then Owen Lovejoy, son of the great abolitionist, formally demanded that the correspondents vacate. It was done and the presidential_electors were left alone to sink or swim. The doors were closed and bolted and the electors settled down to listen to a ngue from Mr. Meyerstein on constitu- and fedecal lnw.” The meeting behind :d doors lasted nearly two hours, lots being cast for messenger ofticial vote to Washington. on David C.

A, Kan., Jan, 9 to Tie There is a revolt against Jerry Simp- son umong the Kansas populists. Simpson same here a week ago for the avowed pur. pose of capturing the United States senator ship for himself, or, if that be impossible, he proposes to name the senator. His attempt to st himself up as the boss of the party in this state has in the past two or three days brought out the severest criticism from people’s partymembers of the legislature. and he has been plainly informed - that he should be in Washington at this time attend- | ing to the business of his district and not in Topeka attempting to dictate the election of the next United States scnator. This opposition comes from what is known the stalwart wing of the party, who undes the leadership of Mrs. Lease are attempting to bring about the clection of a radical peo- ple's party man for senator, while Jerry Simpson, they believe, is covertly seeking to secure the election of a fusion democrat. A week ago the indications were that the people’s party, lacking five votes of a ma- jority - on joint ballot, would throw its strength to Judge John Martin, a democrat who assisted in the campaign for the peo- ple's party state ticket last fall, but outside influence “is being brought to bearon the populist members to preventa combination with the democracy and _the sentiment in favor of the fusion is rapidly disappearing A.J.Streeter, the populist leader of Hlinois, is hore to make a personal protest against a lition with the demoerats, and is doing ything in his power to induco_the popu- lists to nominate a stalwart people’s party man for senator and stand firmly for him until they compel cither the democ republicans to come to their support. Al Opposed to the Democrats, Chaivman Taubeneck and other prominent national leaders of the people’s party have written and telegraphed in the past tiventy- four hours that it would be suicidal to the in other ions_of the suntry if the party in Kansas should throw awiy its chances for u senator and. assist in the election of a democrat.

P RUSSIAN SPIES. Recruited from Ranks of Deserted Females play an important if not pre- | dominant part in the army of Russian | spies, all of them belonging to the so- | called educated classes. The way in which they are recruited, | suys the Lewiston Telograph, is very simple and ingenious; the method was described to me once by one of the pil- lars of the secret section, and was con- firmed later on by a lady spy with whom I had a conversation on the sub ect.

It is a wise girl often who does these things, A man is the more fuscinated by her girlishness and all that by contrast. But one man was a bit dashed after watching o girl some time.
