IMPORTANT VISITORS.
THE SANTA FE CONES TO SCI.
President Strong and the Directory
Spend Some Time in Wichita.


President VIM. 3. Strong, with Geo. C..
McGonin, the newly elected chairman of
the Santa fe board of directors. and Thos.
Barring, Of London. and John J. NcCook,
of New York, two of the new directors,
aud Colonel c. X. Holiday, of Topeka. and
L. B. Purcell, of Manhattan, the last two
Kansas directors arrived in Wichita by
special train from the south shortly after
dinner. Mr.. Strong had telegraphed in
the early morning that the directors de-
sired TO see Wichita. so that a number of
carriages and members of the board OF
trade aud Santa Fe local officials
met them on the arrival Of the
special ut the Douglas avenue depot.
The streets were very heavy from the
recent great rains but the business portion
and somewhat of the resident portion Of
up town were taken in by drive, the
party winding up at the union stock yards
and the packing houses. While visiting
the board of trade rooms the elevator was
taken and the entire party landed in Il
room from which a general view of the city
was had, although the older portion is now
so buried beneath the foliage Of the trees
which line every street, but few houses
could be seen. However, the West Side,
the South side, College Hill. Fairmount,
Burton, and the other additions all stood
out distinctly and attractively. Mr..
Strong observed to the others of his party
as they stood looking out over the roofs
and spires Of the Peerless Princess and
down into her busy streets below: Gen
tlemen Wichita is the wonder not only of
Kansas and. the wonder of the west,
but the wonder of the continent
Mr.. McGouin replied 1t IS cas-
lily to be seen that there is
more business to the square inch upon
these streets than has been shown in any
city west of Chicago which we have Wis
tied" Colonel Holiday said: Wichita
is metropolis Commanding the COM
nerce OF this section and she Will continue
TO do so. Mr.. Barring said that he had
heard some discouraging reports of Wich-
tia, but after seeing the city he thought
that that syndicate of his English brethren
knew what they were about when they put
their money into it, The only regret that
the representatives of the board of trade
felt was that of the condition of our
streets. In speaking of the miserable
depot facilities of the Santa Fe Mr.. Strong
said that one OF the last actions of the old
board before it dissolved was 10 pass a
resolution ordering Il new depot built at

AN announcement not wholly unex-
pected was officially stated in London on
Friday that the cabinet has decided TO
Introduce, in 1891, an Ilish local govern
mept bill. The measure provides for ex-
tensive changes in the management OF
international affairs in Ireland. The cab
met has also decided to propose, at the
next session of parliament, a iand-rur-
chase scheme for Ireland The measure
will be similar to the plan proposed by
Mr. Cham berlain. The more prominent
of the Home-ru ers scarcely hope that the
measure to be rassed by the Tories will
be broad enough to satisfy the friends OF
Il Gland, but time alone will determine
whether or not justice to Ireland is to
come through the Tory channel.

latter will not entertain the proposition.
The managers of the Central propose that
the Northern Pacific shall operate the

percentage which the Northern Pacific
shall retain isune of the points of dispute

Tho Post ONCE.

There is under consideration PROPOSE
ton to remove the post office in this vii
lage from the present location where il
has been for fifteen years or more, to the
williams Block, corner of Madison and
Elm streets.
We understand Postmaster Estes does
not purpose TO make the change unless
the patrons of the Office are largely ia
vorable to It, 1t is a new matter to us
and, presuming 1t may be to many of ouI
readers, we suggest that they give expires
sion to their views so that the Postmaster
may know what the patrons of the Office
desire in the premises Aside from the
proximity Of the railroad track the pres
ent location is very much superior to the
proposed one.
1t is q matter of considerable import
ance, and there Is no good reason fol
haste.
