KANSAS CRY, KAN, Nay 6.-In response
TO an order from the federated board, the
mon who went out on strike at the Argen-
tine Santa Fe shops have returned to work.
A committee of four of the strikers went 20
Topeka, in company of two of the officers of
tbs company, to consult with the officers in
regard to the grievances.
The men went out on the strike because
William Hazen, an old employe of the COM
pany from Topeka, was placed In charge of
the blacksmith shop as foreman, thus reduc-
ing to the ranks Martin Whalen, union
man, and one who has the respect of all who
work under him.
William Hazsn was in charge of the black
smith shop and the work was going on as
usual, but the men are all anxious to learn
the result of the conference betwe their
committee and thesofficers of the company
in Topeka.
The men were very reticent regarding the
affair and would not give any expression of
their views on the subject, and 1t is quite
likely the strike will 60 on again if the fore
man is allowed to remain. ()ne of the shop
employees stated that it looked AZ though the
company wanted to let Whalen out alto
gether. and the men do not want him to 60
and all like to work under him.

eeerstsry Mohler's wheat Report
TopxxA. May s.-Secretary Martin Mohler
has Issued his May crop report. Upon ths
wheat crop he says:
The unfavorable weather conditions which
existed a month ago in nearly all portions
of the state and greatly retarded the growth
of all kinds of vegetation have been con-
tlnued during the month Of April. The
rainfall throughout the state, with sxcsp-
tions in some eastern and southeastern coun-
ties, was very light. The winds were high
and disastrous and the temperature was un-
usually low.
All these conditions were in high degree
unfavorable to plant life, and the result 10
that wheat has been reduced In condltion
very greatly during the month and the acre
age which will be plowed up II largely In
creased over that reported month ago.
A careful compilation of the reports from
GOO correspondents of the board, represent
ing every county IN the state, reveals the
following as tho condition of wheat in Kan
sas on the last day of April:
THE EASTERN BELT.

California Determined the Chi.
neSe Must Go.
Secretary Gresham Keeping Wires Hot
Appealing to Western Governors to
Protect Pistails-An Outbreak Ina
minent If Law Not Enforced.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 5.-As soon a.
Secretary of State Gresham returned here he
gave his attention to important and some
what startling reports from California
These reports were to the effect that an
anti Chinese outbreak was imminent in San
Francisco and throughout the Pacific coun-
try. The Chinese exclusion act takes effect
within the next few days. The information
which came to Secretary Gresham was quite
specific and wholly reliable, and it indicated
that there is danger of violence to the Chi
nese population, particularly in California.
Within an hour after Judge Gresham left
the presidential train bringing him back
from Chicago, he was framing kilograms to
the governors of the far western states, ap-
pealing to them to maintain order and to
protect the Chinese against assault.
One of these kilograms was to Governor
Morrow at Sacramento, California. It was
quite lengthy, and informed the governor
that the state department had reliable 70
ports indicating the danger of violence to
The Chinese population when the Geary ex-
clusiou act takes effect.
Judge Gresham added that President
Cleveland earnestly hoped that the governor
would employ all lawful means for the Fro
lection of the Chinese in California.

Wanted Authority to Inspect.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 6.-Thomas
Chambers, member of the Kansas legisla-
ture, filed a request with the comptroller of
the treasury, asking that state officer be
allowed to examine into the books of de-
funct oank at Coldwater, BY way of finding
out if the officials of the bank had violated
the state laws. The request was submitted
in writing and passed upon. The request
was denied rs it was stated that it would be
setting bad precedent as the United States
would aim to protect the creditors o. the
bank and had nothing to do with the sup
posed violation of the state law. It is un-
derstood that some of the state bank officials
OF Kansas were a party to the request to be
PERMITTED to invade national bank.

VIII Settle it in Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 6.-Senatol
Vance. chairman of the committee on
privileges ard elections, stated it was not at
all probable that the sub committee charged
with the investigating of the claims of Hon.
J. w. Ady to the seat now occupied by Sen
ator Martin, of Kansas, would go to the
state for the purpose of taking testimony.
He has called upon the contestant and con.
testee for statement and says he under
stands the facts in the case are not dis
puted. The question then rests itself into
one of law, a question, Mr.. Vance says,
that can be settled in Washington fully az
we'll as in Kansas.
