WANT FEDERAL PROTECTION
kansas Coal Operators Have No Faith In

Kansas Coal Operators Have No Faith In
this State.
TOPEKA, Kas., July 22.-The openly
expressed sympathy Of the state ad.
ministration for the striking coal min
ers and the fear that it will incite the
strikers to lawless acts which will re-
suit in great damage to the mines has
induced the operators to appeal to the
federal authorities for protection. All of
the mine companies doing business in
southeastern Kansas are incorporated
under the laws of Missouri and are con-
sequently foreign companies. 1t IL
proposed to apply TO the United States
courts for an injunction restraining
every striker from traspassing upon the
property of the mine owners, or from
interfering in any way with
men who are al work in the
mines. All of the federal
Judges having jurisdiction in Kansas
are out of the state. The necessary
papers have been prepared and dis
patched in charge of Of an attorney to
Denver, where Judge RinerH is holding
court The object of these proceed
inQs is to place the strike
district in charge of United
States marshals instead Of running the
risk Of entrusting it to state auth ri
ties in case of any emergency. The
major general of the Kansas National
Guard has been sent to Pittsburg to be
in readiness to take command of the
militia company in case their services
should be required

MORE CARRIERS NEEDED.
General Complaint From Postma ,ters
Throu yhout the Country.

Throu yhout the Country.
WASHINGTON, July q. The attention
Of Acting Postmaster General Jones
was called to a number of complaints
Of postmasters which have appeared in
the newspapers rejecting upon the
postoffice department because of pom
com pliance with their requests in the
matter Of allowances for letter carri-
ers, etc. Mr.. Jones said there was no
question that New York City and u
large number of other offices through
out h country were actually in great
need of additional carriers and other
facilities for carrying on the work Of
the Office, and while it would afford
the department pleasure to comply
with these requests, yet, as n matter OF
fact, it was powerless to do SO, owing
TO the insufficient appropriation.
On October 5. 1892 the chief of the
free delivery service submitted his esti-
mates of Sl1,sll,613 as necessary TO
meet the increased and increasing de-
mands of that service. The appropria-
tions committee of the house reduced
this mount 500, 900 and in submitting
their estimates of the coming year the
p~ostoflice department made the further
reduction of $500, coo, The correspond
ence of the department, it is alleged,
shows that this was lone after Novem-
Der, 1892, when the result of the cleo
ton had been made known. The de-
partment. while thus hanpered by
short appropriations, will try to do the
best possible with those in hand with
out favor or discrimination.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, July eat is
estimated that there are in this city at
The present time anywhere from 1000
TO . 1000 men out of work. Inquiries ut
A number of the leading employment
offices Of the city show that the matter
IS really serious, and still men from all
over the country come pouring in, hop.

Der of unengaged men and wages be-
ing and to be paid, A. Il. Dikeman, of
the Eagle Employment bureau. says;
81 believe there are nearly 1900
men in Minneapolis today looking
for work. My opinion is based upon
the number of applications made for
employment every day. We are placing
men for the hay field at from Is cents
to 81 per day, which is 80 per cent less
than men would work for last year.
They must work for what they can get,
or starve. About August they will
start for the harvest fields, and then a
large number can be supplied. think
it will be safe TO estimate harvest
wages at $1.50 to 81 per day, as against
81 and 80 last year. Men are constantly
coming to the city, even from districts
as far away as Kansas, where unusual
drouths have spoiled the crops. They
are coming from the Duluth mines, the
Wisconsin logging camps and elsewhere
in the hope of finding work. We have
on our book orders for men at prices al
which me could not be hired last year.
and fill them as fast as they come in"

TEA CULTURE.
II Cannot Be Carried On Successfully in
This Country.

This Country.
WASHINGTON, July 2a.-About ten
years ago the then commissioners of
agriculture, under direction of con-
gress, expended a small appropriation
made for the purpose of aseertaining
whether the tea leaf could be grown in
any part of the United States in such
quantities as would warrant the foster
ing of the industry for commercial pur-
poses. The result of the experiment,
which was made in one of the southern
states, demonstrated that the soil wa
too dry. the average temperature too
low and that ii would require much ir-
rigation and the outlay OF much money
and care to carry out the project. 1t
was accordingly abandoned by the gov
eminent as a failure. The trial was SO
thorough that the department has since
expended nothing in further expert
ments.
Not long since DIR. Charles U. Shep
pard wrote to ex-Secretary Rusk, re-
questing his cooperation in further ex-
p~erimenting with tea. On the doctors
request Secretary Rusk wrote the Sec
ASsoAy Va WV w iSIuNsS IA oiliteu
States consuls at the various tea ports
to send samples of the seed of the tea
grown there. The seed was forwarded
to DIR. Sheppard. which action ended
whatever %pecuniary interest the depart
ment had in the experiment.
DIR. Sheppard selected Pinchurst. S.
c., where he established an expert
mental station Mt his own expense and
began the propagation of the plant.
He has made a report to the secretary
of agriculture, which will be incorpor-
ated in the annual report of the de-
partment on the progress of the plant.
While he has had more success than
did the department in growing the
leaf and is quite hopeful Of better re-
suits. il is plain that the conditions are
such that as an industry tea growing
in the United States can never be
prottably conducted in competition
with China. India and Japan.
