Formal Charges Preferred Against the Ex-
Commissioner.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The rumors
which have been in circulation in the
interior department during the last
several weeks seriously questioning the
official integrity of w. E. Symonds, the
late commissioner of patents, took tan
gible form to-day by the fling of for
NAL charges against Mr.. Symonds and
Foster and Freeman, the attorneys in
this city for the Bell Telephone Co., al
leging improper inspection of the secret
files in the celebra ted Drawbaugh tele-
phone cases and the unlawful taking
of copies thereof for the private use of
Mr.. Symonds and of the Bell Telephone
Co.
Collision in this matter, which also
involves the official conduct of Chief
Clerk Bennett of the patent Office, is
charged and the commissioner is re-
quested to issue a rule upon Symonds
and Foster and Freeman to show cause
why they should not be disbarred from
practicing before the patent Office.
The petitioners are Messrs Church &
Church. who stand high among the
patent lawyers of this city. One month
ago they sent communication to Com
missioner Seymour embodying these al
legations in general way, without,
however, specifying names, and asked
that an investigation be had. Up to
this time no reply as to the commits
sioner's findings had been received.

VIII BE Enforced.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Congressman
Caminetti, of California, had short
conference with the president yester-
day morning and left the White house
feeling assured that it was the inten-
ton of the president to see that the
Chinese restriction act was enforced.
Mr.. Caminetti denied that it would
take anything like the sum of money
that has been mentioned to enforce the
act, for the reason that those Chinese
entitled to remain would have to Sc
cure their certificates at their own ex-
pense, and that those against whom
the law is really aimed will be fright
ened out of the country.
Reports from forty of the sixty-three
internal revenue districts show that
25. 304 Chinese have registered No re-
ports have yet been received from the
Pacific coast districts.
The Chinese minister. accompanied
by his English-speaking secretary of
legation, called at the state depart
ment and had conference with
Secretary Gresham in regard to the SUI

constitutionality of the Geary act He

If She Owes Five Cents 1t Worries Her as
Much as a Larger Sum.
The financial transactions of many
women are conducted after plan which
the mind of the average man finds diff
fcult of comprehension. Debt rests
upon their minds with weight that Is
apt to be in inverse ratio to the amo unit
involved. Five cents weighs as heavily
upon their consciences as S5, but when
the obligation mounts into the hun
dreds or goes entirely past their power
of liquidation the burden becomes light
as summer air and they cast it aside
jauntily. 1t is in small matters, how
ever, that their peculiarities are most
noticeable. Men make merry over
their ways at the soda fountains and
the fashion of half dozen of them
walking to the counter upon the Sug
gestion of one and taking a 'sDutch
treat''-each paying for her own glass.
Their fashion OF disputing over the
question as to which shall pay the fare
when 1.-TWO or three are gathered to-
gether'' ON the cars has also served to
point many jests.
But there is a phrase OF the matter
that has escaped the critical masculine
attention. These same women who
accept tickets and candy and ear fare
and lunches at the hands of men with
no oppressive sense of obligation what
ever have a very different feeling
when another woman pays the bill
For some mysterious reason they can
not bear to be indebted to other women.
''What do you think about this?" said
well known Indianapolis lady a day

COAL MINERS STRIKE.
All Out at Pittsburg and Weir City, Kan
Cause of the Trouble.

ALI Out at P1ttSDurE and Weir City, Kan
Cause OF the Trouble.
PITTSBURG, Kan, MAY 2O.-The strike
is on, and it is on In dead earnest. Not
a miner belonging to the miners organ
ization in this district viii go to work
this morning, and many men who do
not belong to the order have joined the
strikers. There is not the least excite
ment, however, and a stranger in the
city would never imagine that a great
strike was in progress. The miners are
cool and determined, and are perfectly
willing to listen to any proposition the
operators may make, providing it is
made to their organization.
Here lies the trouble. The operators
do not propose to recognize the miners
organization, and the miners are not
willing to let the operators confine the
question to an individual basis. Hither-
to operators have ignored the organiza-
ton of miners, having posted notices
regarding their prices at the different
shafts, and, unless future negotiations
are confined to the operators and the
executive board of the y. NJ. w. A. the
strike will be prolonged indefinitely.
ALI. OUT AT WEIR.
WEIR CITY, Kan, May 20.-The strike
among the coal miners of this district,
including Cherokee and Crawford coun-
ties, has come and is apparently here
to stay awhile. hamilton men came

MORE BANK SENSATIONS.

Suicide of President Unman at brunswick,
Ga, and Suspension of the Banks.
BRUNSWICK, Ga, May 19.-Bruns-
wick is in the throes of intense excite
ment. The financial wave which has
been sweeping over the west seems to
have struck with great force, and two
of the banks of the town have been
swept away. Added to this is the news
of the deliberate suicide of the presi-
dent of one of these institutions, a man
who has been one of the most substan-
tiaI financiers of this section of the
south.
Shortly after the bank opened yes
terday morning President Ullman, OF
the Ogelthorpe National bank, and w.
E. Burbage, president of the First Ma
tional bank, were in earnest converse
ton about the condition of the two
banks, Mr.. Burbage being a director
and stakeholder in the Ogelthorpe,
while U1lman held like relations
with the First National. Mr.. Ull-
man stated that he wished to step
into the lex room for a moment, did SO,
closing the door behind him. In an in
slant the report of a pistol was heard
and the bank officials, rushing in,
found their former president, with a
pistol in his hand and bullet hole in
his head. He lived only a few moments.
The doors of the bank were closed, pay
ment of checks suspended and the bank
examiner wired to come and take
charge of the institution.
a meeting of the board of directors
of the First National bank was imme-
diately called by President Burbage
and after a brief consultation it was
decided to suspend business aud put
that bank also into the hands of the
bank examiner. This action was taken
by the First National because of the
relations of the two banks and the
certainty of run. The First Nation
al made statement yesterday show
ing only $1,000 on hand. The Ogel-
thorpe made statement on Tuesday,
showing only 81, 900 in cash. The CAPT

SURPRISED THE LADIES.
Helena Goessman's Paper on the Holmes

Helena Goessman's Paper on the Holiness
of Motherhood and Home.
CHICAGO, May 20--Mrs- Helena Goess-
man, of Massachusetts,, was on the pro-
gramme to read q paper at the woman's
congress. She was not present, how
ever, and Mrs. Davis was called upon
to read it for her. If Mrs Davis had
G lanced over the paper in her hands
she probably would not have blessed
her fortune for bringing about
this special duty. Mrs. Goessman's pa
per was surprise to the reader and to
the audience. Instead of exto1ling
woman's qualifications for all the arts,
sciences and professions, instead of de-
handing rights and privileges, and re-
ferring to her sex as enslaved and
down-trodden, it took turn different
from any yet taken in the congress and
exalted woman's position In the home,
presiding with gentle grace over the
family altar and carefully rearing her
children to do their duty in life as the
one particular sphere for which her
Creator designed her. The paper
quoted several famous authors to show
that woman's true mission is to create
a home and that her greatest gift was
maternity and her truest profession

author, imam has painted and chiseled
the highest conceptions of human art.
Woman's diviner art lies deeper than
the insensate similitude. The new
generations which God is perpetually
sending into the world are quarries,
each individual of whom is more
precious than all the marbles
and paintings. Her study is the
school room, the lecture room
and wherever she can find an instant or
hour to shape human souls into the
likeness of God. She who refuses this
dignity is just SO much less the woman
the more she struggles against so holy
a destiny" The writer thought the
multitudinous burdens which modern
agitators seek to impose upon women
are heavy burden to carry in connec-
ton with her wifalaood and mother
hood, and she urged upon the listeners
that well-ordered home dignifies and
ennobleS the state.
AS Mrs Davis read these heresies her
eyes snapped and her voice assumed a
defiant ring. When she finished the

Strip-The Papers Signed.

Conclusion of the Sale of the Cherokee
Strfp-The Papers Signed.
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-A distinct
step forward toward the opening of the
Cherokee strip to settlement was taken
yesterday afternoon. when Secretary
Hoke Smith, on the part of the United
States, and Chief Harris and the other
delegates, on the part OF the Cherokee
nation, affixed their signatures to the
contract which ratifies the cession of
the strip to the United States The
exact number of acres ceded is G, 022. 754.
Secretary Smith said that he hoped,
by expediting in every possible way
the preparation for the opening of the
strip, to have everything in readiness
for the presidents proclamation on
September Is, but there are few who
have given the situation careful study
who think the strip can be opened that
soon and indeed there are not wanting
those who fully believe that the tactics
of delay being used SO successfully by
the schemers who are looking for
chance to line their pockets in the deal
will prevent the opening until next
spring.
1t was o'clock when Chief Harris,
Treasurer Starr, Maj. Lipe and J. T.
Cunningham met by appointment at
the Office of Secretary Smith, and with
little delay the contract was signed.
All the Legislative proceedings with
relation to the opening of the strip are
set out at length. 1t is agreed that the
1895 payment of 10000 shall be
| withheld to wait the adjudication Of
the claims of Delaware and Shawnee
Indians and freedmen. The Cherokee
nation is to issue bonds for the remain
| ing four annual payments in the same
sum and the United States to guarantee
the payment of principal and interest
at per cent.
