Washington, April 17. Census officials are confident that a thoroughly satisfactory adjustment of the work of the eleventh census will result from the carrying into effect of the bill which has just passed through congress providing for the extension of the time for the completion of the work until March 4 next. Superintendent of Census Wright said to-day: "The census act originally provided for a publication of names of all surviving soldiers and widows of deceased soldiers. At my suggestion congress has authorized the transfer of all the names to the pension office where they will be of very great service. This action will save nearly 8250,000 to the government.

It will enable the census office to complete almost all the clerical work by July as conten: fluted by the law of. last October. There will be then only small portions of these volumes remaining to be completed, so far as copy is concerned. The extension of time is for the purpose of allowing the proof reading to be done by those most familiar with the census volumes. Discharges of employes are rapidly made, but in all cases a week or more notice is given to those discharged and they are allowed all the leave due them by the law.

The statements that have appeared that the census reports are being doctored are absurd. The reports are being brought out in all the integrity of- Mr. Porter's plans. Whenever matter has been or will be eliminated it is because it is in accor dance with his approved ideas. No facts that were collected for the eleventh census have been in any way suppressed or changed.

As the superintendent originally declared officially that it was to be purely a statistical report, so far as still unpublished reports are concerned we are trying to conform to that declaration." JUDGE WILSON PLEASED. 3Iiss Pollard's Leading Counsel Answers Congratulations. Washington, April 17. Judge Jere M. Wilson, whose eloquent plea for the advancement of women in his closing speech for Madeline Pollard gained for him a line bouquet of La France roses from Miss May Desha, sister of Colonel Breckinridge's" lata wife, Mrs.

HILL DENOUNCED. California and Nebraska Democrats oa His Tariff Speech. Omaha, April 17. The Samo set club, the leading Democratic organization of the state, last night adopted resolutions heartily commending President Cleveland and the efforts being made to revise the tariff and denouncing Senator Hill "as a traitor who, having skulked behind the watchword 'I am a has dealt a treacherous blow at the vitals of his party at the time ofits greatest peril." Sax Francisco, April 17.

Three thousand Democrats met in mass meeting last night and passed long resolutions ending of follows: Resolved. That the recent utterances of Senator Hill are traitorous in their purpose, false in their assumptions, absurd in their loic and excite the indi nation and derision of the Democrats of California. Resolved, That the undemocratic course of Thomas J. Geary in reference to the Wilson bill is hereby condemned and repudiated. The resolutions are to be laid before the senate by Senator White.

OTHER LINES MAY SUFFER. Great Northern Strikers Expect Aid From Northern and Canadian Pacific Men. Seattle, April 17. An officer of the American railway union said to-day that the first move made by the Great Northern to hire non-union men would be met by strikes on the Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific lines, thus blocking absolutely all traffic. Last night the Northern Pacific men refused to move Great Northern freight, although it stands in the Northern Pacific yards and obstructs business.

They declare they will go out before they will move that freight. The Great Northern yards here were as quiet as a graveyard yesterday, not a wheel turning nor any freight be-insr hauled. Religions War at Ardmore, Mo. Macox, April 17. Last winter a Baptist evangelist converted 125 persons at Ardmore.

Ninety joined that church. Later a Presbyterian evangelist appeared and nearly all the thirty-fire converted by the Baptist divine ioined the Presbvterian church. The Baptist minister became incensed and in a sermon criticised Presbyterianism bitterly. The Presbyterian minister replied in kind and now a small sized fceligious war is in nroarress there. Miv Harriioa'i Lcctarci CeacladeO.

Palo Alto, Cal, April 17. Ex-President Harrison delivered his sixth and concluding lecture on constitutional law before the students of Stanford university yesterday. Jerry Simptcta Better. Washlngtox, April 17, Congresman Jerry Simpson Is much better to-day. It is not surprising for democratic papers to concede that this is a republi can year.

It is in the atmosphere and is bound to come out. TnE nexi republican candidate for president will be a man of deed3 and not of words. This clearly bars Mr. Depew. Hill's onslaught ou the tariff bill may not be in good earnest but when the bill gets back to the house even Mr.

Wilson will have to ask for an introduction to it. Your Uncle Sam is s'ck and is being doctored after the homeopothic method. What is needed is heroic treatment and no more quackery on the part of jugglers who do Dot understand his case. It would have been a good deal in the pocket of the democratic party as well as -the country if the Chicago platform had never been written. It has been a mischief maker all along the line.

The state of Kentucky is on trial before the people of this country, and the case will be watched even closer than the Breckinridge case. To deliberately ruin a young girl is horrible but for disinterested voters to endorse it is not thought to be possible, Our populist friends have given up in despair at trying to be good and their only ambition 'is to be no worse than other pirties. This is the end of the jrreat reform bug jo that skedaddled through Kansas like a steer in a cornfield. Hon. II.

P. Myton or Garden City, is getting up quite a stir on the audi-torship. Mr. Myton will be kindly re. membered by the citizens of this town because he is the only candidate for that office who voted for our Quantrell Raid bill.

The World received a letter from a man living out of town asking about the attacks the Jeffersonian is making on Chancellor Snow In answer we would say: Chancellor Snow is uni- versally liked here and is carrying for ward the great work in haud most ad mirably. There is no fight on him here and the attacks of the populist paper are deplored on all sides. EDITORIAL NOTES. In this Breckinridge matter it is hard to see how constituents can "vindicate" a man who pleads guilty. The Kansas Breez Tom McNeal's new paper is out.

It is a very credita- bl publication, bright and shiny as re publican prospects. Phil Thompson's arguement was along the line of the North Carolina man who wanted fellow sufferers in allliction to stand together. The only reason why Major Morrill doe3 not gather in delegates faster is because the countv conventions are not being held more frequently. The worst thing about the death of James M. Harvey is that he did not take his brothers along with him.

The state would be better off were they all to die. Senator Hill is a very small man. In the telescope of his vision the only object discernible is Mr. Cleveland. And yet certain republican papers are praising him.

It is barely possible that Col. Breckinridge wanted to do something for Miss Pollard and did not dare tell his i wife of it, hence he had Phil Thomp son make that disgraceful speech. The May Arena. The May Arena closes the ninth volume of this leader among the progressive and reformative reviews of the English-speaking world. The table of contents is very strong and i nviting to those Interested in live questions and advanced thought.

Among the important social and economic problems discussed and ably handled in a bravo and fundamental manner, chars.cteris -tic of this review, are "The First Steps in the Land Question," by Louis F. Post, the eminent Single-Tax leader; "The Philosophy of Mutualism," by Professor Frank Parsons of the Boston University law school; "Emergency Measures for Maintaining Self-Respected Manhood," by the editor of the Arena. The Arena has made steady progress: its circulation having increased during the panic, and it has necessarily been enlarged to one hundred and forty-four There is, also, addition to this, the book reviews, which cover over twenty pages. AHUSEITSUTS. GRAND OPERA.

The season of Grand Opera at the Auditorium at Kansas City beginning Wednesday evening and continuing during the week, will give to Lawrence people the opportunity of enjoying the music made by some of the best opera singers now on the stage. AT THE OPERA. A large and highly delighted and entertained audience witnessed the production of "The Princess of Trebi-zonda" by the McGibeny Opera at the new opera house, last evening. The company came highly recommended by the press and public and they are worthy every bit of it. The McGibeny family, which constitute a large portion of the company, is certainly a wonderful entertaining household.

The costumes were rich and beautiful, the plot highly interesting and the music entransing. Fort Madison, Iowa, Times. At the opera house Saturday April 21st. Seats on sale Thursday morning. The opera house management can reccommend the above play and company.

Braida The Situation Getting Decidedly Serious for American Citizens In the Mosquito Reservation. New Orleans, April 17. The steamship George Sealy arrived yesterday from liluefields, Nicaragua, bringing news to April 12. The Picayune's correspondent writes: "On the evening of the Cth instant a small schooner arrived from Grey-town, bringing mail advices and several Nicaraguan officials. Among these, to the great surpriso of even Lacayo, was the Wilson murderer, Norbut Arguello, late acting governor of llama.

As soon as it became known that this man was in town the citizens began to congregate in gror.ps. when one could hear, with the click of a pistol, "Yes, the murderer is As the Nicai'aguans suspected that the peculiar movements of the Americans meant something the assassin Arguello was hastily placed under arrest and has since been conaned in the provisional tombs. It would seem that, as Arguello escaped from to the interior, where he was safe beyond a doubt, his adventure here in connection with other matters transpiring is part, of a play being ma le by La cay therefore, unless the commander of the United States battleship San Francisco, provided she gets here, makes a demand for his xecution. "In the mail brought here by the same schooner came a telegram from United States Minister Baker, dated the first, to United States Consul S. C.

Braida, informing him that the governor of Nicaragua had revoked his exequatur and for him (Braida) to lock up his official books and papers and await further orders. The invaders and intriguers were jubilant over this additional insult to the flag of the United States and openly boasted that Lacayo had downed Braida; that the Americans must submit to the laws of Nicaragua; and that Charles A. Lacayo will never permit Robert Henry Clarence, chief of the Mosquito Indians, to resume the control of the municipal and national affairs of Bluefields and the Mosquito reservation. "It is rumored that the exequatur of the British consul, Mr. Bingham, has also been revoked.

Owing to the British consul's action while here these people do not believe that the Nicaraguan officials would ever object to Mr. Bingham and up to this moment the rumor lacks confirmation. Her Majesty's ship Magicienne, is still here, having relieved II. M. S.

Canada oa the morning of the third instant. DA GAM A WANTS REVENGE. Admiral Mello Will Be Challenged to Duel by tho Ztfan lie Deserted. Buenos Ayers, April 17. On all sides the utmost contempt is expressed for Admiral de Mello, whose desertion of Admiral da Gama is looked upon as a piece of cowardly treachery which even his most intimate supporters condemn.

To such an extent does this feeling prevail that it is openly stated that Da Gama proposes to seek out Mello and compel him to meet him in mortal combat. Those who should know Mello the best believe that he will take care to avoid any such meeting. If the rebel admiral falls into the hands of President Peixoto-, there is little doubt but that he will be promptly tried by court martial and shot. New Tammany Sachems Chosen. New York, April 17.

President George B. McClellan of the board of aldermen was elected a sachem of the Tammany society in place of Charles M. Clancey, deceased, and Dock Com-missione-i J. S. Cram was elected to succeed Surrogate Arnold.

F. Martin and Thomas L. Feitner. John B. McGoldrick was elected secretary; Peter F.

Meyer, treasurer; William n. Dobbs, sagamore, and D. M. Donegan, wiskinskie. The Kansas Irrigation Commission.

If this fuss continues the university bonds voted bv this city, it will bo in order for us to begin suit again the si ate for SlOo.000 of interest paid by us on unconstitutional issue of bonds. It is almost certain now that the populist gubernatorial nomination will be forced upon Mr. Lwwellirig by the men who charge that he brought the partv where it is and must be iu at the The only consolation the democrats have oun of Rhode is the fact it is a small state. The only hope for this party is to divide Texas and in this wav it can carry seveial states at the next election. Only one woman in America so far as heard iroru has failed to read something of the Breckinridge trial and that is the present wife of the defendant.

Thi shows thar she is a good deal better than her husband. CnAuxcEY Depew says that he was onlv in fun in announcing his presidential candidacy. It is as serious with the people now as it ever will be. A man cannot talk himself into the presidency by making speeches at big banquets. It is ail very well for John N.

Ives to attempt to martyr himself on the altar of preventing the sale of fraudu lent bonds but the fact is he was turned down for lowering the railroad assessments and if he does not know it he is -the only man in the state who does not. Doubtless old Allan Sells died of a broken heart. lie dearly loved a good show and when the populist party was organized he thought he had one. It did not take Jong for douots to arise and when the autocratic governor fired him he found that he had no' show at all and laid down and died. The proposition for United States mints to coin Mexican dollars is a subterfuge and Wall street with its senatorial contingent cannot expert, the people to be satisfied with it.

If our mints can coin Mexican money and have it pas on a solid market likewise can the coin American dollars. The Jeffersoninn continues its fool warfare on Chancellor Snow wholly regardless of the fact that Liwrenee should uphold what is of svh to us. Martindale is following his usual custom of throwing stones at everything in sight. This may be one way of doing but it is detrimental to every interest of this city. A Populist member ot the legislature who voted against the freight rate bill when it was before that bodv is now circulating a petition asking for its passage.

He says a petition is "much closter" to what is wanted. Precisely old man, precisely. You fellows simply want to play horse and cavort around on the shoulders of the people and for this purpose a petition suits you much better. Unfortunately several teachers in this county have been teaching equal suffrage in their schools and as a result there will be more teachers looking for new schools next year than ever before. Teachers should be more careful.

It is no more right to bring equal suffrage into the schools than it is right to discuss party platforms. Schools are for the purpose of making a foundation for future usefullness and not to inculcate isms of any kind. Under the guise of supporting a gubernational candidate Bernard Kelly is going about the state attempting to put up delegations for himself for congressman at large. Mr. Kelly ought to know that the people cannot be treated in this way this year.

The time is happily passed when all that was necessary to be elected in Kansas was to be nominated by the republicans. A nominating certificate is not so binding that the supreme court of the people cannot go behind the returns. The Topeka Capital rightly insists that the fight in Kansas this year Is Dot on national lines but to roust the populist party. The Would has differed from the Capital on financial questions and expects to continue doing so but it is with it in this matter. There should be no disturbing elements.

The republicans are agreed on a desire to defeat the worst enemies popular government ever had in Kansas end along these lines should the be made. been out there for eight years. When he got to Lawrence he said it looked like he had got to God's country again. The Y. P.
