THE HESSlAN FLY

Doing More Damage In Kansas Than Can
Be Estimated.
Topeka, KAs, June 3,-There is now no
doubt but that the hessian fly is doing as
much damage, if not more than did the cold
weather last winter and the surplus wheat OF
Kansas will dwindle down to small proper
tons. Fields, that four weeks ago prom
ised one half to three quarters OF q crop are
ruined and win be turned over and millet
put in. The Ay is not only confined to any
one section. If observable more IN one
place than another, that place Is
within the great wheat dis
trict, where there is move
wheat for the insect to thrive on. Before
the ravsges of the insect became so vide
spread some conception Of the wheat crop
could be formed, nov no one can form any
estimate and all guesses ars wild ones. In
the reat wheat valley of Kansas the gypsum
in Saline county, where wheat never fails,
entire fields are being plowei and millet
sown, this is reported in all parts OF the
State.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The Post prints
the following: JOSEPH B. Fowler. was dis
missed last Saturday from his position as
chief OF the pension division OF the Tnird
Auditors cfice in the Treasury department.
Yesterday he was appointed fourth class
clerk in the same division, q position within
classification of the civil service. This sp-
pOintment raises another question for the
civil service commission. 1t is said to be
illegal on the ground that Mr.. Fowlers dis
missal severed his connection with the gov
eminent as If instead of being chief he
had held higher office. On this ground 1t Is
claimed he could not be reappointed without
going through civil service examination
are being legally certified. Should the CON-
mission decide the appointments legal
one, door will be opened wide for filling
the Office with as many Democrats as any
oficial could desire. The head ofs bureau
can now have new chiefs of divisions and
I'll the positions BY appointment under the
precedent made in the case OF Mr.. Fowler.
These sppolntees can be reduced to clerks
the removal of the latter creating desired
vacancies, new chiefs Of division can then
be appointed and the same programme fol
lowed until any number Of clerical positions
are filed. This would be ever more legal
tuan absolutely dismiss q man and then sp-
point him to clerkship without saying as
much as "by your leave" to the Civil Ser
vice Commission.

PITTsBURG, June 3.-There is but little
change in the aspect of the iron workers
strike to-day. The strikers appear indifer.
ent and calmly awaid results, and the man
afacturers are taking advantage of the shut
doWa sS=Aisher repair machinery or take
stock. At one o'clock this afternoon Secre-
tary Weeks reported that no more manu-.
facturess had signed the scale. No interest
is manifested in the nsilers' scale. The
nailers say that they do not at present ex.
pect any signatures to their scale as the
manufacturers agreed on a two months
shut down at their last meeting. The clos
ing of the mills has no significance.

PITTSBURGH, June 3.-The New Albany
Iron Company, at New Albany, have signed
the Amalgamated scale. This is the second
firm outside of Pittsburgh to sign and the
worbmen say they expect more in few

the strike in the different States are as fol,
lows: Western Pennsylvania, 2O,342; Ohio,

COLUMBUS, June 3.-A week or two ago
it looked as though Judge ]. B. Foraker
would carry off the Republican nomination
next Thursday at Springfield without much
trouble. But it is beginning to look very
problematical now whether he makes it at
all. Eastern and northeastern Ohio are
very much averse to him, and serious de
fections are beginning to appear in other
localities. Clermont county by nearly
unanimous vote instructed against him, to
the surprise of almost every one. Clermont
lays alongside of Hamilton and was regard
ed as solid for Foraker.
A bitter fight is also being made on
Foraker, whenever the colored vote is
strong. 1t is cropping out here, in Xenia,
Dayton, Springfield, Cleveland, GAINESVILLE
and elsewhere. II the opposition to For
aker could concentrate on one man in the
beginning, it would defeat him. Otherwise,
We may be able to beat bis opponents to de-
tail and finally win the day.

Is denied BY the Governor through lack OF
sufficient appropriation. Lieutenant SEEKER
and his company were only recently ordered
to this section and were unacquainted with
the people. The Mexicans who did the
killing were Upelanis Gonzales and son,
aged l3. Gonzales has been noted as the
best guide and,lndisn trailer in this country
and owns a large ranch. He and his son
were met by rangers when the rangers
approached and demanded their arms.
Young Gonzalez not recognizing
their strange faces, opened fire, killing
Lieutenant SEEKER and fatally woubding
Sergeant Reilly. Gonzales and son then
fed, believing they were being pursued by
a band of robbers. On reaching the ranch
of Pioneville Heviers, the Deputy Sheriff
of Meff county, they claimed his protection,
and the fear ul error wa discovered tor the

carried to Laredo for trial and not to Eagle
