Stanley in his chum hers in the capital building ami for n solid hour arraigned the chief executivf of the state for his failure to close the sa loons of Kansas. Then in turn she visitei: the offices of Attorney General Uoddard County Attorney Nichols and Sheriff Pot ter S. Cook and demanded of each thai they close the saloons. When Mrs. Nation entered (Joveruoi Stanley's office, she was followed by 11 crowd of newspaper reporters and others By turns she administered to Governoi Stanley a tongue lashing for Uis failure to uphold the laws against liquor selling or begged him for aid to carry on hci crusade. She put her questions with fierceness and answered them herself without giving the governor time to uttet a complete sentence in his own defense Mrs. Nation accused the governor ol branding her as a lawbreaker and de manded to know if he had a better meth od than she of ridding the state of sa loons. "Do you think my method is right?" she asked. "No, I don't," r< plied the governor. "Well, governor, have you a bettei one?" As the governor turned in his chair to |iake answer every one listened intently. "No, I don't think 1 have."he finally replied. Continuing he managed to edge iu a few words more: "What can I do? 1 <1 in powerless. The law does not allow me to do what I desire. The law gives me no privileges. What can I do?" "If necessary call out the militia," was Mrs. Nation's prompt reply. Then the crusader began a philippic that caused Governor Stanley's anger to rise, and tilt crowd grouped about his desk to look on In wonder. "You can close every joint in Kansas if you will, Governor Stanley," she said with force. "You can do it if you want to, but you won't. You are a lawbreakei yourself if you do not. You took youi oath of office to keep the constitution Yen refuse my request. You are not oulj n lawbreaker, but a perjurer." "You come with nie and help smash saloons," she urged. And then she add ed: "If you won't help ns, if you Won't help me, I'll go around and I'll smash, smash. The devil seems to have a cinch on the men. but he hasn't a cinch oil the hatchets and rocks." Finally Governor Stanley volunteered: "You get the prosecuting attorneys o! the different counties to put the "joint" keepers in jail, and I will use my powc. as governor to keep them in. I will sec that they are not pardoned out." This promise instantly transformed Mrs, Nation. She fairly beamed with joy and, thanking the governor, started for the office of Attorney General God ilard. The attorney general was rti gaged, but she forced her way into hi private office und introduced herself will these words: "We want you to close these joiuts, these murder shops." She demanded that lie remove those officials who neglei-te ! their duty in allowing the saloons to nut, and when he evaded her direct <|itcs lions ami referred to the county at tonic; Mrs. Nation asked: "Mr. Attorney General, you are not dodging, are you? Now, don't dodge." With a parting injunction to do what he had sworn to do ou taking Ids on!I Mrs. Nation, with a bodyguard of in-w> paper men, followed by a crowd of pco pie, started for the county attorney's ot lice. "The governor and attorney general are dodging," she said, "but there's n dodging my hatchet." She had lost ht wraps and her veil during her raid oi tile slatchouse, but she wasted 110 tinn looking for them. To County Attoimy Nichols she re pirated her demands and finally said sin wished to swear out a warrant for tin saloon keeper's wife who had attacked her Saturday night with a broomstick With a few words of warning Mrs. Na tioii and her train were again on (licit way, this time headed for the office of Sheriff Cook. The sheriff soon was in a inge, and at last, boiling over with anger under hci »corcliiug attacks, lie broke a wa> am! rushed toward a newspaper man in tin crowd who lind pointed at him, seined the oflellder's collar and made a Ulotioi: to strike him. Ot Iters interfered, and Sheriff Cook returned to Mrs. Nation'* side and asked her to his private otlii, to continue tin- argument aloue. The chief of police wa< picked out 112" the next onslaught, but his office wa found locked, and Mis. Nation haraiiitui'.l a crowd thai had gathered in the s|rc« near the city hall.

WASHINGTON,.I mi. 2!).—The senate turned from the grind of appropriation bills yesterday to listen t<> » speech which purtook of the diameter of an oration from Senator Towne of Minne sota. Since he entered the senate a few weeks ago on appointment of Governor I.iud the young Minnesota!! has had lit tle opportunity to display his talents.

On tin- Re publican side the attention was lest no ticeable. although Mr. Hour and Mr. Hule ut first followed the speech eloxeiy. at times exchanging smiling comment on some of the utterances. At one point Mr. Depew took a front seat and listened attentively. Mr. Towne's style of delivery was clear uud forcible. Although restricted by manuscript, he had the subject w«ll in hand and rolled out the tine periods with a fervor that sent theui echoing through the chamber. The speech abounded in apotheoses to liberty and patriotism and scathing anil scornful uriui-'uiunat of the policy by which the Filipinos were beiug annihilated. At one point an out burst of applause from the galleries led to u vigorous warning from the presiding officer against demonstrations of approv al or disapproval. As the orator closed his brilliant peroration there was anoth er outburst of applause despite the warn ings of the chair. Immediately following Mr. Towne's speech the credential* ol' his successor, Mr. Clnpp of Minnesota, were presented, and after beiug sworn in the new senator took his seat, and Mr. Towne retired.
