WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. ( Special. Sen
ator Tetter Is the buslctt man about the capItol -
Itol these dajs , working early and late In
preparing matter for the coming session of
the Flfty-foiitth congress. He looks forward
to a long mid laborious session , and In an
ticipation of President Clc\eland's recom
mendation to retire greenbacks Is spending
much time on that most Important question.
"It would not at all surprise me to see In
the president's meswge a decided stand taken
In favor of retiring greenbacks. There Is
nothing else left for the democratic party to
do. That I ? entirely In keeping with the
position In which It has been placed by the
president , farmers and small dealers arc not
considered by Mr. Cleveland as business men ;
the bankers me the business men , nnd he has
gone over to the banks , horse , foot and
dragoon , If an attempt Is made to retire
greenbacks It will devolve upon our people
In the senate and house to prohibit hucli In
famous legislation , and so long as 1 have
physical endurance left to raise my voice It
will be found on the side of the plain people ,
protecting their rights by restricting the at
tempt to take from us greenback ? and sub
stitute national bank bonds , as undoubtedly
the scheme Is now. "
"Have yon thought bf any one as the nom
inee for president by the populist * ? " The Dee
man nsked the senior senator from Kansas.
"Indeed I have. I think Silas A. Holcomb ,
governor of Nebraska , would make a strong ,
safe man for that exalted place. Ills cottrs ;
as governor has been free of entangling
alliances.
"No one can accuse him of blng In steals
or tied up with the money powers. Of
course , If It should be decided to take a man
from legislative life , then I would favor Sen
ator Allen , also of Nebraska , but I believe
our people would be stronger It they would
go outside of those now holding federal
offices and nominate Holcomb. I have never
seen the governor , but from what I can learn
he la n big man. For vice prosldsnt I would
go to Texas and nominate Judge New gent ,
who Is much the same sort of a man as
Holcomb. " . .
"Will the next national convention of the
populists reaffirm the Omaha platform ? "
"Well , " said the senator , "that Is a pretty
hard matter to say. The Omaha platform
represents our faith1 ? , but I believe In writing
platforms that everybody can understand ,
making them so plain that he who runs may
read. Upon the question of coinage the
Omaha platform Is sound , and that clause
will bo reainrined. Some changes , however ,
will be made In the preamble. The stump
speech will bo Ignored , , and It will bscomo
more a if flection of principles In which we
( Irmly believe.
"As to the place ) for , holding the conven
tion , I haven't any choice. Milwaukee Is , I
believe , after It , aild will put In a bid with
the committee. Individually I should prefer
a more central location , as St. Louis or
Louisville. Our people have got to consider
railroad fare , and" trip across the con-
llnent costs moneyjl You take the representa
tives of the older , nartlei ? , and they have
'money to burn , ' their expenses being paid by
Interested Individuals ' or corporations. We
populists are not so situated. Wherever the
convention meets , ,1 look for earnest , con
scientious action , a betterment of existing
conditions being the slogan of the party of
progress. " c

WASHINGTON , Nov. 26. ( Special. ) As
time for the assembling of tha Fifty-fourth
congress comes closer the contentions of
il\al candidates for places In the houses ,
and the corresponding right to distribute
patronage ate put aside for the discussion of
what are the republican senators going to do
toward reorganization ? Aie they going to
enter Into a combine with the democrats
who now enjoy fat commlttesh and divide the-
loaves and fishes , or will they make an effort
to take the organization from thoys at pres
ent enjoying the honors ? These questions
are not without special significance at Uil"
time , for ths presidential race Is but nine
months off , and the republicans recognbs
the Importance of going to the country upon a
record tint means a betterment of existing
conditions , could they have had votes enough
to secure the passage of remedial legisla
tion.
tion.As
As the senators come back to town and
are Interviewed there Is a growing belief
that the caucus of republicans will decide
upon an honest effort being made to reorganize
ize- the senate without entering Into any bar
gain with cither democrats or populists.
Senator I'effer In an Interview rather Indi
cated the action of the populists when he
said that so much had been bald about the
populists and republicans getting together
that he , for onp , would urge concerted ac
tion upon the part of his friends In the sen
ate and attempt organization of the senate
along their own lines. If this Is done it
will complicate matters very considerably ,
unless the populists should decline to vote
on the division being demanded by either
republicans or democrats , upon the question
of electing a president pro tern. Should
they do this , then the course Is clear for the
repuhlicing , for with th'lr forty-two votes
against the clemociatB' thiily-nlno they would
have a majority of the votes cast , and a
quorum cf the senate would 1)9 ) voting.
It Is now understood that Senator John P
Jones will not come cast until after the
Christinas holiday , which will reduce the
populist strength to five , counting Senator
Marlon Butler with that party. But there Is
no certainty tint Mr. nutlet will act with the
populists In the oiganl/atlon of the senate ,
and from little things raid , It IB pretty safe
to assume thut Mr. Butler will be Invited to
attend the- republican caucus , when the no

WASHINGTON , Nov. 26. The Kansas con
gressional dclegitlon , as soon as possible
after the Fifty-fourth congress beglni , will
Introduce resolutions In both lioutcs looking
to an Investigation of the circumstances con
nected with the arrest nnd Imprisonment of
ex-Consul Waller. The members of the dele
gation take the position that the United
States Is entitled to the record of the trial ns
a matter of right , nnd therefore should not
ask It as an act of comity. The probabilities
are that they will try to secure the passage
of a resolution Instructing the go c nment to
stand by Its demand for tin documents. The
first resolution , however , will only call for
the corrSBpondcnce on t'no case.

Qa. , that the Chinese theatrical entcrpilsc at

and two of the Chinese women connected with
It have gone to Son Francisco. Under the
resolution ot congress foreigners who ore con
nected with the exposition mny remain In
the country one year after fiio close , ot the
fair , nnd hence the twenty-three Chinese
women cannot be molested for one year from
January 1. It Is probable that others of the

KANSAS CITY , Nov. 2S. Great prepara
tions are being made for the opening of the
Mldcontlnental poultry and Pet Slock show
tomorrow. Manager Hacklmm has put nearly
all of his coops In place , and by tonight
nearly every exhibit will liavo arrived. The
exhibit from Cincinnati , which Is the largest
and most complete collection of ornamental
birds In the United States , will arrive this
afteinoon. Jinny breeders and fancy stock
owners on the ground are enthusiastic nt
the prospect of a succe.'aful show. Charles )
P. Newman , who Is one of the best known
breeders of ducKs and geese In the world ,
said to a local reporter :
"I don't believe that the pople of Kansas
City realize what a poultry event this Is
going to be. Why , only think , the list of
prizes for specialties Is more liberal than at
any t-how ever held In this country , and
what Is more , vvo believe every prize will be
paid , as was the case last jcar. The poultry
show at Madison Square garden , New York ,
did not have so large a number ot birds In
Us catalogua as this Kansas City show. I
came from Staten Island , and I was inclined
to think that the New York show could not
be beaten in the United States. There are
at least a dozen breeders from the east who
believe , as I do , that this show will beat It. "
Nearly 5,000 birds of all kinds and de
scriptions have been enteied , and among
them are the finest specimens of all the dif
ferent clasaea and breeds to be found In the
United Statss or Europe. Ten thousand lit
tle chirks will bo hatched during the ex
hibition. A famous golden pheasant , which
TV 111 occupy n cage 1x12 feet In dimensions ,
will be ono of the attractions. There will
also b a largo number of pigeons and other
varieties of pet stock. Mr. William McNeal
of London , Conn. , reached Kunsas City to
day with some 700 birds.

Ak-Sar-Ben honors , as they were hauled
through the torture chamber. The high lord
Jabberwock and the frumlnous bandersnatcli
held high carnival until 10 o'clock. When the
hunger for gore of the Mighty Samson had
been somewhat appeased the remains of the
new members were loaded upon the car and
brought to the city.
Many of the details for the reception to bo
