More Topeka Sugar.

TOPEKA, KAN, May 3.-The directors of
the sugar mill have completed arrangements
for rebuilding the mill at once. President
Elliott has returned from Columbus, where
he contracted for the machinery, and the
contract for the building will be let in day
or two. The management has had no trouble
in contracting for all the cane the mill can
consume, and the mill will be in shape to
take care of this years crop.
The cost of rebuilding the plant will be
about S55,OOO and the property will then be
worth not less than S125, 5,O0O. To repair and
reft the machinery that was injured by fire
was rather an expensive process; this will
take some $4,000. and the repairing of the
buildings will cost $4,000.
The machinery refitted is to be done by
August l, according to the contract, early
enough to work on this years sorghum crop;
and the plant is to be capable of handling
200 tons of cane per day.
The sugar company intends to plant ten
acres of sugar beets, of varieties imported
from Germany, namely, Wanzlebener and
ViImerin. If the experiments with these are
successful 200 acres more will be planted the
year after. The idea is to have the beet crop
to work on after the sorghum harvest is over.

BosroN, May 2.-The Evening Traveller
says: Twenty-Five thousand carpenters go
to work in Boston under the eight hour sys-
tenn, say the men at the head of tho carpen-
ters union. There will be no parade, and
but little excitement. The men have already
won their case, they claim, with the organ
ized builders and contractors outside of the
Master Builders association. Ninety-fve
per cent of these have signi6ed their inten-
ton of acceding to the request of the men,
and no i'll feelings have been engendered on
either side.
CHICAGo.-Committees of the Bosses as
sociation and the striking carpenters met to
further consider the terms of the proposed
agreement for the resumption of work. At
the close of its session, President O'Connell,
of the carpenters council, said that an agree
ment had been reached upon all points of
difference except two, and that it had been
agreed to submit these to arbitration. Each
side will choose disinterested citizen and
they will choose third for this purpose.
President OConnell adds that work Will
probably be resumed next Monday.

Across the Water.


vienna, May 3.-Despite the belief thar
the labor demonstration in this city would
be attended with grave disorder, there has
yet been no disturbance whatever. There
have been no street parades, but meetings
were beng held in various halls which were
attended by large proportion OF the work
lngmen In the city. The strike movement
in the provinces is spreading. 1t Is calcu-
lated that throughout Austria and Hungary
1,OOO,OO men have already struck or threat
ened to strike.
PEsTH.-The labor demonstration has been
marred by a scene of bloodshed. A large
number of workmen gathered in front of one
of the rolling mills. At first the men We're
orderly enough, but under the incitement of
agitatOrs they became aroused and bitterly
denounced the alleged tyranny of their EN-.
ployers. Finally they lost all self-control
end engaged in riotous demonstration which
the police were powerless to quell. Military
assistance was summoned and body of
troops promptly appeared on the ground
with fixed bayonets. The mob was ordered
to disperse, and upon their refusing to obey
the troops charged. The crowd broke and
fed in all directions, but not before many of
the rioters had been pierced by the bayonets
of the soldiers. The mill where the trouble
occurred remains open and work is going on
as usual.
PAR1s.-A deputation of workingmen went
to the chamber of deputies and presented a
petition asking that the chamber make eight
hours legal days work. Large crowds
gathered on the thoroughfares in the vicinity
of the chamber, completely blocking them.
The cavalry, who were doing special duty,
quietly cleared the way for the deputation to
proceed.
BRUssEIs.-A procession numbering 3O,-
100 miners was formed in Leige and marched
to the town hall, where petition was pre-
sented to the authorities asking for the estab-
ishment of an eight hour working day.

State Has Power to Prohibit the
Transportation OF Liquor FROM

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3o.-The United
States supreme court, through Chief Justice
Fuller, rendered an opinion adverse to the
,onstitutionality of state laws providing for
The seizure of liquor brought into the state
IN original packages. Such laws. the court
holds, are in interference with the interstate

Bad Brake Breaks.

STAuNToN, Va, April 3o.-The express
train on the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad for
Washington was descending heavy grade
of the engine fell and the brake was rendered
useless, and the wild train rushed into Staun-

The EXPORT Cattle Business.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 30.-Representa-
i've Funston, from the committee on agri-
culture, reported to the house the senate bill
providing for the inspection of meats for ex-
portation, and prohibiting the importation
Of adulterated articles of food and drink, etc
An amendment to the bill makes If include
lrugs within the provision prohibiting the
importation of articles of adulterated food
Or drink. An accompanying report says that
4 number of foreign governments, notably
Fra-sce and Germany, have imposed restric-
lions which prevent the importation into
these countries of our pork products upon
The allegation that they contain trichina.
While we do not believe, says the report that
such allegations have any foundation IN fact,
and while we can say we have no knowledge,
either directly Or indirectly, of the existence
Of trichina in the pork products of this coun-
try, nevertheless we find that our products
are resting under the ban of condemnation.
We, therefore, believe it to be our duty to
use every means in our power to relieve it of
such condemnation, which, when done, will
add at least S5,00O,0OO of meats to the ex-
ports of this country. The report says that
the latter clause of section 10, relating to the
inspection of animals when intended for
expectation, is, perhaps, of as great lmpor-
tance as the inspection OF the hog products.
England, through fear, either feigned or
real, compels us to slaughter our cattle i'm
mediately on landing at the ports, allowing
no time to recover from shrinkage or bruis-
ing of the sea voyage, and thus also shutting
our stock cattle out of their markets absO-
lutely 1t is estimated that our cattle in the
English markets would bring at least $40
more per head if all restrictions were removed,
which We can insist upon only when we have
home inspection. The bill under considera-
ton, says the report. will give to the United
States the power to deal with other nations
as they deal with the United States.

They Say.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 3.-Senators Ii.
gals and Plumb and Congressman Peters
have been interviewed upon the effect of the
decision of the supreme court, rendered in
the case of Leidy l. Co., in error, versus 4. j.
Hardin, brought on an appeal from the su-
preme court of Iowa, and in which the deci-
sion of the Iowa court was reversed.
Senator ingalls, thinks that whatever the
effect of the decision may be, it will not long
be operative, inasmuch as bill has been re-
ported and placed on the calendar which will
counteract the effect of the decision. 1t is
the bill to prohibit the importation of intOxi-
eating liquors into states the laws of which
prohibit its sale. There is little doubt of the
speedy passage of the bill, which will settle
the question once for all.
Senator Plumb thinks the decision of the
supreme court will not seriously effect prohi-
bition, but will probably result in legislation
giving to the states power now residing wholly
in the national government. Thus the ulti-
mate effect will be to leave with the several
states the absolute control of intoxicating
liquors, so far as their manufacture, lmpOr-
tation and sale in the states are concerned.
Congressman Peters is of the opinion that
the decision will not effect prohibition in
Kansas. 1t relates only to the importation
of original packages from another state, and
does not erect the ponce power OF tue Stdte
to control sales when the original package Is
broken.
None of the Kansas delegation seem to be
seriously alarmed, or to fear that the deci-
sion will change the status of affairs in Kan
sas. The right of the state to assume con-
troll of the liquor traffic is conceded by the
supreme court, and it is manifestly absurd
that this right can be controverted by allow
ing citizens of other states to go in and sell
LIQUORS unrestrictedly. Too much impor-
tance is very likely to be attached to the de-
cison of the supreme court inasmuch as the
scope of the operations allowed are likely to
be overestimated.

HiS Second Veto

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 1.-The president
has vetoed the bill appropriating $780, 600 for
federal building at Dellas, Texas. In his
message is this:
''The legislation for the erection of public
buildings has not proceeded 50 far as can
trace it upon any general rule, neither of
population nor the extent of public business
transacted. 1t cannot be expected that, in
the absence of some general law. q committee
of congress III charge of such matters will
proceed in their recommendations upon strict
ard equal lines. The bills are individual,
and if comparisons are attempted. the neceS-
sary element of probable growth is made TO
cover all apparent inequalities. 1t will be
admitted, am sure, that only public need
should suggest an expenditure of the public
money, and that If all such needs cannot be
at once supplied, the most general and urgent
should have the preference. | am not un-
friendly to a liberal annual expenditure for
the erection of public buildings where the
safety and convenient transaction of the
public business demands it. and the state of
the revenues will permit. 1t would be wiser,
in my opinion, to build more and less costly
houses, and to fix by general law the amount
of the annual expenditures for this purpose,
and some order of preference for cities ask
ing for public buildings But in view of the
pending legislation looking to the very large
rSCuctlOn OF our revenues ana Oh the urgency
and necessity of large increase in our ex-
penditures in certain directions, | am of the
opinion that appropriations for the erection
of public buildings. and all kindred expendi-
lures, should be kept at minimum until
the effect of ether probable legislation can
be accurately measured. The erection of
public buildings is largely matter of local
necessity and convenience. while eNpendi-
lures for enlarged relief and recognition of
the soldiers and sailors of the war for the
preservation of the union, for necessary coast
defenses, and for the extension of our COM
merce with other American states. are uni
yersal necessities, and involve considerations,
not of convenience. but of justice. honor,
safety and general prosperity"

Home Opinions.

TOPEKA. KAN, May 1.-Attorney General
Kellogg takes serious view of the supreme
court decision reversing the decision of the
supreme court of Iowa, in the original
package" liquor case. The supreme court of
the United States holding that it is not within
the power of state to prevent the shipment
of liquor across a state line. or prevent its
delivery to the importer. Kellogg seems to
fear that this decision will prove sad blow
to the cause of temperance and prohibition
in Kansas.
Ex-Attorney General Bradford, however.
takes different view. Kellogg seems to be-
lieve that there must follow the right
to import the right to sell: while Brad
ford quotes from the decision it
self to support the contrary view. The
court says, and this is what Bradford quotes:
Undoubtedly it is for the Legislative branch
Of the state government to determine whether
the manufacture of articles of traffic will in
juriously affect the public, and it is not for
congress to determine the measure a state
may properly adopt as appropriate for the
protection of the public morals, life or
safety,'

MILWAUKEE CARPENTERS
Volunteer to Cut Their Wages From

Volunteer to Cut Their Wages From
$2.2O to $I.76 Dav.
MILWAUKEE, May 3.-In Milwaukee the
demand of the union carpenters for the
adoption of the eight hour system was not
coupled with demand for increased wages,
and as the men were willing to accept eight
hours pay for eight hours work the move
ment has met with no strong opposition on
the part of their employers. The masons
and bricklayers unions have resolved to as,
sist the carpenters by stopping work on all
buildings under contract by men who refuse
to accede to the demands of the unions. The
average pay of a carpenter in this city Is Y
cents an hour, and under the eight hour sys-
tenn the men will receive $1.76 per day in
stead of 500 as heretofore. The union men
claim that under the new order of things 5OO
of their fellow craftsmen, who are now un-
employed. will be given work. There are
from 1000 to $500 carpenters in the city.
and it is claimed that ], 800 of them belong
to the unions, which have had large acces-
sions to their membership during the last
few weeks.

Weekly Review of Trade.

New YORK, May 5.-R. G. Dun Il Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
The outlook for industries and legitimate
trade Is distinctly less favorable, owingt
damage to wheat and cotton and the labor
disturbances.
special cotton report from Memphis in
dlcates planting p per cent. against 81 per
cent. at this time last year; unfavorable
weather in 53S out of Cos returns: material
injury from too much rain, and extensive
loss from floods. Galveston crop reports are
also gloomy because of too much ram, and
st. Louis reports unfavorable weather, while
the markets at Chicago have been much in
fiuenced by information of injury to wheat.
From ST. Paul, Omaha and Milwaukee re-
ports of the outlook are more favorable, but
short crops of winter wheat and of cotton
would be felt in all trades next fall.
1t is most encouraging that the labor de-
monstrations have thus far led to no violence,
and in a number of cities the desire of en-
ployes to avoid strikes has caused full or
partial concessions. As yet the markets for
materials have not been much affected,
though sales of lumber are restricted in some
cities. The immediate prospect is that many
industries may be to some extent disturbed
for weeks to come.
The general average of prices is nearly 1
per cent. lower than a week ago, notwith-
standing rise of 315 cents in wheat, due to
reports of injury. the exports, both of
wheat and flour continue large. Corn made
no advances during the week, and oats de-
clined quarter. Hogs were 10 cents per 100
pounds lower, but pork and lard were ad-
vanced little by speculation and oil rose
cents. Cotton rose three-sixteenths. Coffee
was unchanged. Raw sugar did not change,
but crushed was advanced an eighth. Iron
was lower at Pittsburg. The reports from
other cities are generally favorable as to the
volume of business and bank clearings show
an increase over last year of 10 per cent.
Difficulties in the clothing trade do not
abate and apprehension of more failures
causes some uneasiness in this and other
cities.
Chicago reports the usual increase in the
movement of grain and meats and in increas-
ing sales of dry goods, but a stagnant cloth
ing trade.
Money has not been disturbed this week.
There is much less complaint of slow collec-
tions throughout the northwest, but consid-
erable in some lines at Philadelphia, Boston
and New York. Good crops and large sales
of farm products have made things cOmpar-
atively easy at the west, but the effects OF
two excessive open winters were felt in east
ern markets. Exports of all products from
New York are 18 per cent oelow last years
for April, while imports have shown an in
crease of 18 per cent, facts which Indicate
heavy excess of imports over exports for
that month.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days are
211, ascompared with 2l8 last week. For
the corresponding week Of last year the figures
were PA.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN

OF the Kansas Weather Service, In
Co-Operation With the United
States Signal Service. for the
Week Ending April IS, 1890.
The season continues about two weeks be-
hind, being markedly so in the central and
northern counties, where corn planting is in
progress, much of it being listed, while in the
southern it is up, and in the extreme south
ern counties is being cultivated. The week
has proved an excellent one for all other
crops, bringing wheat, oats, gardens and pas
lures rapidly forward, while the fruit and
forest trees have kept pace with them.
Broom corn is now being planted in the
southwestern counties. In the western divi-
sion the ground has more water in it now
than at this time during the past four years
From the orchards there is a promise of an
abundant fruit crop.

Help From Men of His Color.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May IA delegation
of twenty young colored men. representing
the Afro-American press, with E. L. Thorn
ton, of New York, as spokesman, waited on
the president and urged the appointment of
Edward p. McCabe. of Oklahoma. as secre-
tary of that territory. Mr.. Thornton said
that the colored people formed nearly one
third of the population of the territory. and
their relations to the republican party in the
territory abundantly warranted official recog-
milton at the hands of the president. He
praised the presidents policy in regard to
the enforcement of the laws in Florida, and
said there was a growing discomfort of the
colored people over the present state OF
affairs in the south and elsewhere. The pres
ident promised to consider their wishes.

That Mistake in the Bill,

WASHINGTON. d. c., May la clerical
error has been discovered in the text of the
bill establishing the territory of Oklahoma.
In describing the territory to be included the
bill says t:le boundary line follows the south
line of the Cherokee outlet westward to the
west line of Texas. 1t should read westward
to the east line of Texas. The bill is st i'll in
the interior department, and has not been
signed by the president. 1t can be recalled
by concurrent resolution, amended and
passed.
The house has agreed to a senate concur
rent resolution requesting the president to
return the Oklahoma bill for the purpose of
having an error rectifed.
