Scott said he had found out that the ex- pert had deliberately and willfully s pressed matters, and that as the committee had depended very greatly on his findings, the report submitted was not what it should have been. Ellis also corroborated the statements made regarding the dishoncsty of the ex pert. MoKesson opposed the granting of the re quest, but the vote by which the report had been adopted was reconsidered, and on motion of Gifford the committer was allowed to withdraw its report and was given ad ditional time for further investigation. One C The conference committee appointed to try to agree upon a_settlement of existing differences between the two houses regar ing the allowance of postage and newspaners for the senators reported its inability to agree upon o settlement, as the senate re- fused to recede. The matter was discussed for half an hour, during which a motion to concur in the senate’s position was defeated, Several members declared vigorously against it, and the committee was then given further time to talk over the situation with the sen- ate committee. Jensen attempted to introduce a bill along the line suggested by the governor in his message relating to the | itentiary, but the house refused to hear it, and took up bills on third reading.

Auditor Moore Saves Money. Schappel «~cured recognition to say that he had o matter that he wanted to bring be- fore the house. e said that the state auditor had refused to draw a_warrant for the satisfaction of the bill of Shilling Bros. for supplies furnished the state, as he was satisfied that 1t contained a steal of at least $1,000. Schappel; read a copy of the bill, some of the items to which attention was recently called by Tue Bee, showing the difference between the cost as charged and the regular retail price. He moved a com- mittee be appointed to investigate the bill and report to the house not later than tomorrow. Chairman Felton of the committee on ac- _counts and expenditures made a statement of the circumstances under which the hill had been allowed by that committee. He said that the bill was before’ the committee for a month, and that he had insisted that it be cut $510. Other members of the commi tee objected, and ho finally offered to ¢ promise by cutting the bill from even $2,000. The others insisted on allow- ing it in full and it was finally allowed. Felton said he knew the pri ged were 100 high and he was convinced that he did not do right in the matter. He felt that he should have brought it hefore the house, just as Schappel had done, and which action ho knew to be just and right. He was glad that the auditor had refused todraw a war- _rant for the amount claimed, Glven to & Special Commicteo, Uncle Barney Johnston moved that the auditor be voted a chromo for the positive tand he had taken against filching the state treasury and a dozen members loudly voiced their sentiments by seconding it. The motion to appoint a special committee to investigate the matter carried without a dissenting voice, after the house had to re- lieve a special committee, of which M- Kesson is ¢ 'man, appointed several d ago to loox up the committee on accounts expenditure: the committee on accounts and expenditures, wanted the matter left in the hands of the McKesson committee, but Rhodes, who is a member of the lutter committee, protested and Kruse, who is a member of against it, claiming that he was not satistied with the manner in which the committee was working. He said that the committee had been unable to get together and ac plish anything for some unaccountable son and he insisted that o new committee bo appomted. The chair appointed as such committee Van Duyn, Olson and Luikart The house then adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock R ATHLETES AT PLAY.

He would quote the mis | take, then turn to the printed bill | and, after dilicent search, find the item and then call the attention of th ate to the glaring inconsistency between the | engrossed and printed bills. He made what Senator Harris, the ministerial member from Nemaha_county. would call an exegesis of the maximum rate bill. He was frequently incerrupted by questions from the fndepend- ents until finally his patience became ey hausted and he appealed to the chair I demand the protection of the chair from yrs who are interrupting me, and 1 want the sergeant-at-arms to make Senator Stewart behave himself. If the chair will give me permission I'll do it myself.” [ hope the chair will give you the re- quired permission,” was the response of the burly senator from Sioux county, and the speech went on. Three Hours Tired iim. At 11 o'clock North was still talkice. He was the only opponent of the bill in sight. All the others were sleeping or pretending to on cots which had _been brought into the senate chamber.

In this she took from all past elections the honor of enthusiasm. | The of a resolution at thelast | session legistature to submit the suffrage to women gave o impetus to the movement, and the women who already enjoy municipal | suffrage today made an effort to bring out a big vote in the hope of making a good start in the campaign that will last until the fall clections, On the showing, then, of the female vote today depended for them the all-important question of whether or not they would be allowed the full power at the volls that is given their fathers, sous, ete Kaxsas Ciry, Kan, and disheve lopiion of the granting of full new In most cases they showed themselves worthy of that trust by their ability to per form all the duties hecessary to carry a candidate through, and they caused the sterner sex to feel their power and, wher lacking in election finesse, the maie voters cre given pointers by their new co-luborers. | Several women candidates were up. for | office. In this city Mrs. Anna Potter, the | wifo of a promiuent business man, was | running for mayor, aud on the same ticket | were Mrs, Sarah Reinhardt, who aspired to | be u member of the city counci id Mrs. Josephine Green, who desired to be a mem ber of the Board of Education, Electioneered Like Old-Timers. The women hired bands, rode around to the different polling precincis and engaged in proscliting with a zeal which made the men contemplate. The female voters amongst the colored people were just as enthusiastic apparently as their white *fellow citizens,’ and could be seen in interesting groups at all of the polls, he effect of women being at the polls was that the election was the quietest and most | orderly ever held in the state. Today's | election as well gave an indication of which | party the people hold responsible for the procecdiness which_did not add honor to the lust legislature. For the first time in the | history of city elections in the state party | lines were s tly arawn. In almost ev | city the republicans ran straight tickets an this is o city where they had not made an attempt heretofore to win at a city election The result gives some indication of which party will hold political supremacy in the staté in time to come, and by some is con- sidered the turning oint in Kansas' politics The weather was dniversally favorable and 1 parties made an‘extra cfiort to carry the ay.

Goodlander, the citi- zens candidate for mayor, was elected by 300 majority. This is considered a glorious vic- tory for the anti-prohibitionists. The law prohibiting the use of carriages at the polls Iy ignored. A bitter fight was ged, and the majority for the citizens’ ticket is much larger than last fall In Kansas City Mrs. Potter received but a few votes, and her ticket, the independent, is probably defeated entire. The vote for the other two mayoralty candidates is close and the result doubtful. At Lewelling's Home, At Wichita the election passed off quietly, the anti-bribery law working perfectly. The republicans made a straight fight i the democrats, populists and some dissatis- fied republicans combined, and won a decided victory. The issue was made, insof democrats and populists were concerned, on | the administration of Governor Lewelling The issue was interesting on account of the fact that this is Governor Lewelling's home. At 11:30 p. m. the indications are that L. M. Cox, the republican candidate for mayor. 18 elected by 1,200 majority, a pronounced re publican gain over the vote last fall. The remainder of the republican ticket, with the exception of one member of the school board, is in. About 2,000 women voted, The republicans elected the entire ticket at Lawrence with the exception of one coun- cilman. Dr. N.

At Leavenworth, where the republicans have not had a vietory for thirteen years, they today elected their entire ticket by a Jority of 1,000. At Topeka the entire republican ticket was ccted by a vote of three toone. Dr. Jones was the candidate for mayor.

Half a block to the south a similar canvas bore the retuins of the Rocord, and a half a block to the east the Herald gave out its news, The two latter papers have boen strongly anti-Harrison during the cambaign, and the crowds which packoed the sty 8 in frort of their bulldings purtook strongly of their sentiments. The | edges of these crowds brushed against the throng that had voted for Harrison by day and was yelling for him by night. The con tact was not conducive to friendly feeling and the numerous detachments of police had il they cared to do in keeping the peace. As it was, there was many a rich black eye and swollen, bloody lips before 10 o'clock at night . | The first returns woro strongly in favor ¢ Harrison and his followoers simply went wiid. | yelled, howled, waved their hats, de- | rided the polities and disparaged the ances try of the Allerton men, who were not slow i making retorts equaily pointed and un- | compliment The tin horn fiend escaped from the confinoment in which e haa been | held sinee last November and tried as if ho | would blow his brains through a 10-cont funnel T'he stroet cars on the lines in front of the newspaper offices had a desperate time in | forcing their way along and in many in to stop complotely itil the police could throw n few score en thusiastic politicians from the track and | enabie it to proceed. 1t was not as big an | election as thatof last November, but it | meant as much or more to Chicago, and all Chicago was out at night to see how it had voted during the day Late tonight Mr. Harrison said on the re- | sult: It has been a great victory and | am | gratitied at the outcomoe.

As mayor 1 will falsify the predictions of my enemies. 1 will show them that in my administration of civie affairs [ can be guided by the best in terests of the public and their considerations will nave no influence with me.
