Kansas Legislature Meets

Topeka, Kan., Jan. 12.- The Kansas legislature met Tuesday with the Populists for the first time in control of both branches, as well as with an executive in harmony therewith. The organization was promptly effected in accordance with the caucus of the Popuilst members. W. D. Street of Dscatur county was elected speaker of the house. The message of the governor was devoid of sensation and caused considerable surprise in that it made no reference to the prohibitory law or a constitutional convention, both of which have been leading topics of discussion.
