^T<\pekn, Kail., Sept. 30.—The Ei*pii6-
1U\yi\ iHate central committw today
tvtve out a letter written by Peter W.
ivliiie, a notorious lottery and policy
6hop man oi Kansas City, tellihy of
the sum of money paid by hliii to rop-
rescaitatives of Governor LpVeiljmj and
to Attorney-Genera^ Little Ju person,
l'or protecting liiiti In aia illicit business
on the Missouri state lines.
Kline’s experiences with tho Popu
lists dine back to December, 1*5)2, a
montli prior to the advent of the new
administration. At that time, lie al
leges, he was approached by-James F.
Legate, who had taien a prominent
part jii the Populist campaign, and in
formed by him that Iii consideration
of tho payment of ?3,0U0 to him that
he (Kline) would l>o permitted to
name thd police commissioner for Kan
sas City and that tho governor would
appoint him.
Later he saw Fred J. Close, the gov
ernors private st’Crbtafy, who inform
ed him that Legate had authority to
negotiate tlie proposed deal, and that
anything lie promised for the governor
would be carried out
Upon Close’s reprcsentatlouh he paid
tho money to “Legate, expecting that
when the commissioners werq ap
pointed he would havo a monopoly of
Iw *-®55?*"55 all d lottery business iu
that city. Tnc appointments were not
at the time agreed upon and X, f.
Acres, an associate of Kline’s, called
upon tho governor for an explanation
and was given the assurance that the
commissioners would bo appointed In
a short time.
'Uhl*.premise wsea pot fulfilled ami
flmilly Legate called upon Kline u'nd
•tiOKi him that the governor would ro-
qu'.re the- payment of an adfaftlonpl
$1,000 before 'he would act. Kline pro
cured t'he money, came .to Topelca to
oeo the governor personally, but ir.-
stead of meetling. the -governor he
againTmet Close, uind with 'him Attor
ney General Libtle and Legulte. Agxin
Oloae assured him lJh»jit the matter
■wou r Al be all -right When the addition vl
•money was paid, surd he thereupon
Uianded .the $1,600 over to Legate for
the governor -and attorney general.
A'flter .tWis Close often visited Kline
. in hls office In Kansas Olty, always
offering excuses for not having t'he ap
pointments made, land at last mad? a
proposition to Kline to secure for him
idhe exclusive gambling until lottery
(privileges in' t'he ciitled of Atchison,
Leavenworth, Frnit Scott and Wich'lta
for tt con'stlderatkm of $1,000 a month.
ICHne accepted this ptfrtpawltlon and
•paid Close $100 on account, but was
never given the privileges.
At this time a Mr. Adkins hippeaml
upon the scene. He was an emtp'oye
of Kline hi one of the .Oatter’s policy
tfhops, was vei*y poor and received for
'his services $40 per month. He ol'a!i.med
•to be a relative of the governor, and
went to Mm with a proposition to pay
$5,000 per month, the money to be con
tributed by ithe lottery companies, for
•protection by the sfa'te. Adkins mis re
ferred 'to H. L. Taylor, state oil in
spector, and Is now a rich man,Hying
in one of the best residences in Kan
sas Oiity, and being the owner of ia
>arge amount ofva luuble property.
■He is considered ithe king of lottery
men 'and gamblers, from whom 'he Is
colledilng $5,000 •monthly. KLne ft-nnlly
became coivvlrfced that the Ktate offi
cers hold no idea of keeping their pnom-
to him, so entered Into a corre-
»f>ondence with the Loulsi.vroii Lottery
Company, which waa oafd to have *.i
pull, to have the Kansas City Lotteries
put out of busineos. and -made 'a con
tract w8tjk the oompuny to (Wave them
driven out of the stafte fo,* $26,000.
Of .this sum $3,000 wow paid dawn and
he sent $4,000 Ito the attorney genera),
who shortly afterward began proceed
ings in 'the court agdirrst the lottery
open, but lie never pushed them unid
they -were soon dropped.
Kline claims the attorney general
acknOWledged ithe receipt of ifoe $4,000
«n'l approved of the written contract
whjjch he t*id rrnrdc wlrh the LoulsIanU
Lottery Company, which provfded that
for the $25,000, Llttile was to receive
$20 000. Kline «»iys 'totTt the prosecutions
w'ere dropped because rhe r-^aO lotteries
riiLed a bigger pot. Several other mi
nor drills ore told of by Kltoe In Wis

‘•It is claimed) that the Republican

NEWS FROM MOSQUITO LANDS.
A Correspondent Says 'the Story o!
Hardships to Americans Are Exag
gerated.
New Orleans, Sent. 30.—The Times-
Democrat’s special correspondent at
Blueiields. under date- of September 14,
writes as follows: since my last letter
nothing Ikib created a ripple, except the
Managua dispatches to the New York
Herald, wihleh were received here :» few
diiys ago. In them it. was ctdte.i that
Minister Baker had made a vlgaroun
protect that the banHlietl Americans be
brought back icBludftelds a-nd u» given
a fair and impartial trial.
On the earn? day the British gunboat
Mohawk arrived off Bluellelds with the
banished English and Americans and
none of 'them were allowed to come on
shore. The twv> (American's, Lumpkin
and Wlltbank. were put on board the
United States steamship Marblehead,
anti the Englishmen were carried by
the Mohawk to Jo mode a.. So it sec m3
that the vigorous protect of Mlnlsrer
linker did not amounit to much. Proba
bly It te best that it did not, for If fill
the rumors I hear bn-the streets haVe
any truth in -them. U Is better for some
of the banished men non to risk a lair
trial o.f the charges against them.
To -give you an insight into some of
the “ways itlhait are dark and tricks that
are vain” in Bluefields. i have only to
recall happenings In New Orleans ju3t
previous to the isecesslon of Louisiana.
A great many are still living in Now
Orlacna wMb recollect a ci»ucl of men
who could be s:.vn In St. Charles and
C.iwd wtreests with secession rosettes
pinned to Hheir coat collars, howling
themselves hoarse for SobtCicrn rights,
etc. Well, we nil know' waht some of
those men did as e>o>n a« Ben Butler
arrived. If my memory serves me cor
rectly. I think some of them aided the
carpet-baggers and were members of
the black-and-fan conventions and leg-
Isflcul ures • J n Loui?-ia nn.
Blueflelds did contain the same kind oi
3i crowd, who acted the same a.> regards
the Nicaraguans and the ‘'Mosquitoes,*’
or In other words “intelligent contra
bands’’) aa dhl the blatherskites In New
Orleans, and I air. very, very sorry to say
some of- i.ic-m claim to be Americans.
Since my arrival here on September 2
not an arrest has been made, nor has
•any one been approached in any way.
On the contrary, on September 8 an elec
tion was held here for on alcalde and four
councllmen,- It resulted in the election ol
Mr. J. Weinberger, alcalde; Dr. Paul Os.
ttrhout, Messrs. Eugene Eandry. Samuel
Weil and Simon Cohn for councllmcn—oil
Americans. From the result of this elec
tion it can be plainly seen that tne
Americans bore are In no great danger
tit present, anything to the contrary not-
- withstanding. What may come hereaf
ter remains to be seen, as decrees arc
numerous, Judging from ,the following,
dated September 12:
‘Mose ivtadrlz, special commissioner of
the supreme government to tne Atlantic
coast, considering it necessary to regu
late the display of foreign Haas'to avoid
the committal of any offense against
them and that no abuse should be made
of thaV emblem of sovereignty or friendly
nations, in virtue of the authority in me
invested, decree: ‘Article 1.—The hoisting
of foreign ilogs on private edlllces in this
city is prohibited.’ " 1
Commissioner Madrlz has also Issued a
decree prohibiting the importation of Jlre-
arm« and ammunition. The British sub
jects. alias Mosquito Indilans, still con
tinue to* leave Blueflelds for .Jamaica and
Graml Cayman, some forty- or: fltty hav
ing departed on September 11. One hun
dred soldiers . of the Nicaraguan ermy
also departed from Blueflelds a few days
ago for Managua.

’ChilllcothOe O., Sept. 30.—The name of
“Flying Jib” Is on. the tongue of every
horseman hero tonight, on nccunt of
the wonderful mile paced by ‘this cele
brated gelding ait the kite-shaped track
today. Flying Jib, bitched to n running
mate, paced a mile Jn 1:59 1-2, lowering
the record of 2:01 3-4. made by West

racing, by 2 1-1 seconds.
The performance does not constitute
a record, aa this method of pace-making
la not recognized ti« legitimate und has
no bearing on Robert J’a valid record
of 2:01 1-2.
