TOPEKA. Kas-. June lat was
learned yesterday that the passage OF
sight-hour law by the Legislature last
winter will have the effect Of closing
all charitable and reform institutions in
the state unless the legislature is con-
vened in extra session before next Sep
tember. The law is worded 80 that no
no employees Of state or municipal in
situations will be permitted to work
more than eight hours a day. and while
this will nccessitate the employment OF
about 200 more people there was no
additional appropriation made to meet
the increased expense.
The state board of trustees yesterday
asked the attorney-gencra his opinion
in the matter, and the result Is that un-
less an extra session is called TO make
the additional appropriation, the in
mates OF the institutions will be re-
turned to the counties whence they
came. This will return all the insane pa
tients in the two insane asvlums. and
the boys and girls in both the reform
schools TO their respective counties

The announcement OF MIR. Drew :
suspension was not exactly a surprise
to the authorities and others who have
been interested in the Keystone and
Spring Garden bank complications.
This was not due to any particular
knowledge affecting Mr.. Drew's integ

between Mr.. Drew and Comptroller
Lacey respecting the formers reports
to the treasury on the condition OF ths
Keystone bank before il was closed.
District Attorney Reid heard Of thu
suspension while trying a case. Hs
SAID he was very sorry for Mr.. Drew

A Minneapolis Syndicate Exporting
Wheat at Tremendous Loss.
CHICAGO, August 13.-A dispatch from
Duluth, Mimi, says: In the last three
months there has been one lot of mil
lion and a half bushels of wheat sent
east via Duluth by Minneapolis
parties. That shipment and a consign-
ment of half million bushels that is
now passing through here, caused a
good deal of speculation. The Herald
says it is being sent out of the country
by Pillsbury and that every bushel
represents to the big English
syndicate running the Minneapolis mills
a loss of Zoe. Last fall Pillsbury was a
persistent bull and loaded up with a
great quantity of grain at the prices of
$1.10 to $1.19 a bushel. A good part of
the year he has carried as high as
40,000,000 bushels. A short time ago
the Minneapolis syndicate found itself
with enough wheat to make million
barrels Of flour, right on the eve OF the
biggest wheat crop the United States
has ever seen, and with the stuff worth
about 90c. bushel. Some of this wheat
had to be gotten out of the way, hence
this shipment of two million bushels.

Antofogasta and Caldera, and at each of
those place found the Congressional
lists or insurgents in quiet possession of
the civil and military departments.
s'At Pisagua, Colleta, Buenos, Iouique
and Antofogasta vessels were loading
nitrates as rapidly as if no war existed
and the insurgents are collecting export
duties on the same. At Pisagua there
were two American barks and one
schooner, and at Antofogasta one
American bark. About two weeks be-
fore my visit to Pisagua the government
torpedo vessels Coudell and Lynch and
the armed transport Imperial had, with
out any previous notice, bombarded the
city. They did no serious damage to
property, and no one on shore was
even wounded. The vessels appeared
off Iquique and began firing at the city,
but at such long range that no projectile
reached the shore.
''The land forces of the insurgents
are mainly concentrated at Iquique
where there are about 5000 men well
armed. Their aggregate force at all
ports held by them numbered about
5000. The insurgent naval vessels Es-
meralda, Cochrane, Huascar, Magel-
lanes, O'Higgins and Abtoa, and several
armed transports, are generally at
IQuique."
