E\-Scnator John J. Inaalls of Kansas was In the city last evening1 while en route to Hastings , where he has an engagement to deliver a lecture. When seen at the Paxton hotel last evening the Kansas statesman talked freely concerning the condition of nf- falrs political In his state. "The populists themselves are Just beginning to rualbe Just how big a victory they have won in Kansas , " said Mr. Ingalls. "It was more than the most sanguine of their leaders had antici pated and as a consequence the\ have not decided Just what they are going to do They now have complete control of the- state , having the governor , both branches of the legislature , the supreme and appellate courts , the majority of the congressmen , one of the senators and will have the other after the 4th of next March. With the legislative , executive and Judicial branches of the gov ernment In their eontrol they will be ena bled to pass an > laws they ice lit and the Judges of their own way of thinking will Interpret them " "What are they likely to do In the way of legislation' " asked the reporter. "From the best Information I have the leaders have not > et formulated the pro gram as > ct , but from the platform of the patty , the speeches made on the stump dur ing the campaign , and the de-durations of the leaders , so far as they have committed themselves since the election , It Is very llkelj they will pass some radical legisla tion regulating the railroads and the charges allowed to be made for transporting freight and passengers , restrictive legislation foi corporations generally , nnd other laws alonp this line. Ono of the principal subjects which Is likely to receive attention Is the laws relating to debtor and creditor , nnd those are vc.y likely to bo changed for the benefit of the debtor "As I said bifore , the populists are Just beginning to realize the sl/e nnd extent of the victory they have won in my state , and what will bo the extent of the legislation along these lines would bo dldlcult even to guess Just at the present The more con servative men In the party may hold the radicals down , nnd then again the radicals may obtain complete control Until this is determined It would he Impossible to fore cast the probable legislative action of the assembly which convenes In January.

Elmer Prank , clerk of the United States circuit eonrt , tendered his resignation some time pgo , but even jet the fact Is not gen erally known. For this reason there are not so many engaged In the scramble for the fat plumb as there ptherwiso would be H. H Blttlngcr. the prctvont deputy in the olflce , and Sclplo Dundy , the clerk of the federal district court , are' the leading candidates They were aware of the resig nation In advance of the general public , and secured a long lead of any competitors In the matter of securing endorsements It Is understood that one or the other of the two have secured the endorsement of most of the prominent attorneys who practlee before the court , as will' as many promi nent men In political and business circles The office Is one of thil best of appointive ones , both It. point of Inrmno and owing to the fact that the position is practically for life. In this respect partliularly It Is better than the clcrl'shlp of the district court. The latter depends uprtn the life and whim of one Judge. , while there are- three of the circuit judged and the death of one Is not likely to make any change In the ? clerkship It Is also generally supposed to bo worth moro money than the district clerkship. It Is understood that Mr Frank's resigna tion Is duo to the fact that he desire's to iovoti > his entire tlmo to private business enterprlseu. particularly to mining Interests In W > omlng and Colorado.
