THE BUREAU OF AWARDS.

poets to Do.

John Boyd Thacher Tells What 1t Ex-
poets to Do.
The much criticised bureau of awards.
headed by John Boyd Thacher, is pursuing
its set course vigorously, and the various
ends of the work are gradually taking form
and shaping themselves into a whole which
promises much good to the world In
speaking of the methods upon which the
work of his bureau is based M Thacher
said: "This bureau from its organization
has proposed to cause the most complete
and exhaustive eXaminat ion of the eXhib-
its in the exposition, that we might obey
the injunction of congress requiring us to
disclose to the world the progress made in
the arts, industries, and sciences The
commercial side of the awards question
sinks into insignifcance when compared
to the instructive side.
Grain is to be chemically examined to
discover if the farmer is utilizing his land
for the best purposes. Wool is to be ex-
perimented upon in the laboratory to as
certain the value of the fibre and the pro-
priety of raising certain grades of sheep in
certain localities and under certain condi-
tions. Food products are to be analyzed
and their physiological value determined.
The opportunity to thoroughly investigate
and weigh the best work of mind and
hand brought here by the nations of the
world will not occur again this genera
tion.
at would have been easy enough to have
adopted the old-fashioned, meaningless
method of making awards, and then every
thing would lave been delightfully."- com

GLOOM FOR MINERS.
Threatened With Troops by
Weir City's Sheriff.
THE DYNAMITEFIE AT HIS WORK.

Foreign Strikers Said to BE Making
Bombs-Govefnor Lewelling Orders the
Sheriff to Put Down Lawlessness-Some
of the Mines at Work Protected by De-
puties-The Sheriff Makes a Speech
WEIR CITY, Kan, July 25-A dispatch
from Topeka says that the governor held
conference with the state officers as the
result of the reception of a number of tele-
grams from this place. The conference was
secret and the only thing made public 50
far is telegram sent to the sheriff of this
county, which reads as follows: Under
no circumstances can the state authority
permit violence. Strikers must not tres
pass nor assault United States deputy
marshals, nor destroy property. Read this
to the miners" This is signed by Gov
ernor Lewelling and has stiffened the
backbone of the sheriff. AS a result of this
the situation is hopeful for the mine opcr-
ators and gloomy for the strikers.
Threatened with the Military.
Shaft No. Il at this place has started up.
The non-union miners were protected by
force of d putty sheriffs Shaft No. IS was
also started. The sheriff made an address
to the strikers He told them that he was
under orders from the governor to keep
the peace and protect the men who are
working, and that he would certainly obey
He also said that il he found that he did
not have and could not obtain sufficient
number of deputies to protect the non-un-
ion men he would call upon the governor
for troops. There are, he said, 500 military
stationed within three hours rid on the
cars from Weir City. If brought there, he
said, they would soon decimate the ranks
of the strikers.
Manufacturing Dynamite Bombs.
In conclusion the sheriff said that the
only thing that now causes him to appre-
hend further trouble is the fact that
foreigners in Weir City are manufacturing
dynamite bombs. The Keith and Perry
mine will resume operations some time
this week with a guard of thirty deputy
sheriffs

AN EMBARRASSMENT OF SILVER.
So Much of 1t in the Chicago Sub-Treasury
That Ii Is Barred.

CHICAGO, July Pa notice has been
posted in the United States sub-treasury
to the effect that silver would not be re-
ceived. During the day many employees of
banks brought in sacks of the white
metal to get currency in exchange, but
they had to shoulder their loads and go
again as they came. There is more silver
lying around uncounted behind the rails
OF the sub treasury than the force can
handle. On every shelf and III plies en- the
floor canvas sacks filled with dollars and
other coins are stacked up until there is
hardly room to get about
ave are unable to handle the big amount
of silver we have on hand" :" said one OF the
officials, "and until it can be all counted
and checked up we will not receive any
more over the counter. For some time
past great quantities of silver have been
brought here by the banks to be exchanged
for currency, until the amount has become
greater than we can handle, and we have
had to call temporary halt. This Is all
there is to the matter"
