Protract.d Struggle Probable.

P1rTsBURG, KAN, May 24-Presldent
Walters received word from the miners in
the Indian Territory that they will go out
when the executive board of the Kansas
miners gives the word. This step will hardly
be taken at present, however. Should the
threat of the territory miners fell to bring
the mine owners to time the entire south
west, with the exception of Arkansas, will
be enlisted In the strikers ranks.
President Walters and the executive board
are preparing for long struggle. An order
will be promulgated putting the southeast
ern district in charge of the law and order
committees to prevent any lawlessness by
the thousands of idle miners.
All efforts to arbitrate the differences be-
tween the executive board of the miners
union and the mine operators in this city
have so far proved futile. The conference
proposed was not held, and both parties to
the contest are now convinced that the fight
is on to last an indefinite period. Ar
bitration Is the ultimatum issued by the ex-
ecutive board, while the operators are equal
~ firm in their decision to deal with the
men on individual basis only.
The strike has already crossed the Kan
sas line into Missouri. The miners at Min
den are out. The strike is not expected to
extend beyond this, however, until the off.
cial edict is issued by President Walters de-
claring that it is necessary for the good of
the cause in Kansas to stop all commercial
shafts in Missouri.

KICKING KAISER.
Banishes a Baron for Talking

Curses His Crown for Preventing Him

tainly characteristics.

New YORK May 2.-The arrival of Baron
Fedor Won Rauch, handsome lieutenant
and adjutant of the second battalion of the
Eleventh Brunswick regiment of Uhlans, in
this city under virtual Punishment, has
caused gossip which involves the emperor
and empress of Germany. 1t is said that
the kaiser, influenced by trivial incidents,
accused the baron of harboring too deep an
admiration for the empress. AS told in
Berlin court circles, Baron Fedor had beer
making an afternoon call at the palace az
usual, bringing with him the notes of a new
musical composition of his own. While he
was chatting about music with the family
the emperor left them. When the emperor
returned, about an hour afterward, it is said
that he discovered the empress and the young
lieutenant alone, corversing in low tones
and apparently so absorbed that they did
not notice the emperor's approach until
startled by the first outburst of his wrath.
So enraged was Wilhelm that at first he
swore that the young baron should not leave
the palace alive. He even demanded that
swords should be brought and duel fought
then and there. At last he consented to al
low young Won Rauch to depart.
$50" the emperor is alleged to have ex-
claimed as his former friend retired, Ego
from this house and from Germany forever.
Your life is protected by the curse of a crown
which denies me the poor right allowed

S;tu.tio, in the Coal Fields.

P1TTsBURG, KAN, May ga committee of
the strikers went to the new shaft being
sunk by the Kansas and Texas Coal COM
pany, called No. 40, and ordered the labor
ers employed in sinking that shaft to come
out and quit work. The laborers refused
and, although NO violence resulted, it Is
thought to be not long delayed.
The men of No AZ held a meeting and
seem to feel good over it.
1t is an open secret that the meeting is
called for the purpose of discussing a return
to work at the old prlce, in spite of the Or
ders Of President Walters and the executive
board of the union. Il is admitted that If
this course be taken it will PROBABLY break
the strike, but 1t is impossible to learn what
Is being done It is freely claimed that No.
AZ will 60 back and apply for work. and it in
thre teningly asserted on the other hand
tn { if they do they will rue the day.
Some of the strikers say without any hest
tation that the men shall come out of the
mines if they have to be DIR gged out and
that they will be dragged out in such a way
they will stay out. Trouble is feared and
those who have heavy property interests here
are not treasured by the outlook. They feel
tn At if any lawless acts occur they cannot
look with confidence to the governor of the
stare for the prompt and efficient protection
that ought to be extended.

OPEN AND SHUT.
The Action of the National
Commission Not Final.
Sunday Openers Contend One Thing and
Sunday Closers Claim Another Effect
of the Nearly Tie Vote; and ALI
il Unsettled.

CHICAGO May 26.-Immediately after the
national committee assembled, Commits
sioner Massey, chairman of the committee
on judiciary, rendered his resignation. He
said the national commission, during his
term of service, has never accepted the ma
jorlty report of the committee, and he in
ferred the commission had no confidence in
the committee. He therefore asked to be
relieved.
Commissioner Massey has taken a leading
part in the fight to keep the gates closed on
Sunday. A majority report from his COM
mittee in favor of Sunday closing failed of
adoption.
The effect of the action of the national
commission is in dispute.
The commission, by a vote of q to %, re-
fused to modify the local directors rule for
an open Sunday. The Sunday openers claim
the local directory has the power to promul-
gate rules and that the commission has the
power to modify them, and that as the COM
mission has not modified the Sunday open
ing rule, that the rule must stand.
The Sunday closers MAINTAIN that the di-
rectors' rule is not operative unless approved
by the commission, and that as the commits
sion did not approve the directors Sunday
opening rule, that rule is imperative. 1t is
believed that the directors will take the
former view of the case and keep the gates
open.

New YORK May 29.-Under decision rem

who refuse to enter trusts and combinations

force them out of Business.

Bad Winds in Michigan.

DETROIT, MICH, May pa terrific wind
storm accompanied by olinding sheets of
rain, broke over this city. The gale reached
a velocity of sixty miles an hour just before
noon and shade trees throughout the city we're
blown down and some streets rendered i'm
passRble. With few exceptions all telegraph
and telephone wires running into Detroit
are down.
Great damage was done by the wind about
Adrian. At Lenawee Junction it amounted
to a tornado. At Roluulus the building
erected last summer by the Romulus Man
ufactaring company was blown down and
completely ruined.
At Holt the storm unroofed the opera
house and wrecked a half dozen stores
Many housea were badly wrecked.

Scheme IN Rob Old SoIdjers

GUTHRIE, o. 7. May 30.-The old soldiers
of the southwest are up in arms over Secre-
tary Hoke Smiths plan to open the Chero-
kee strip to settlement month before the
the land office is opened. Under the law
an ex-union soldier has the right to file
upon a quarter section of land. either in per-
son or through an agent. without first going
upon the land, providing his filing is made
before some other party has settled upon
the land.
Smiths plan of keeping the land Office
closed for a month after the opening would
put settler upon every quarter section long
before the soldier would have chance to
file and thus rob him of his special privilege.
The soldiers declare it ia a scheme to rob
them of their rights, are holding Indignation
meetings and there will be a number of iu-
dignant protests forwarded to the president
within few days.

GurHR1s, o. T., May 30.-Ex- Chief Bush
yhead, of the Cherokees, and Robert Owen,
The Cherokee banker and politician. have
been on the Cherokee strip hunting loca-
ton for q new townsite. Bushyhead was
given the right by the Cherokee bill passed
by congress to select quarter section upon
the strip and at once receive title TO the same.
It was generally supposed he would take
the stone quarry south of Arkansas City,
which he has been working for several years.
but he was sharper than the members or
congress and got the clause in the bill in
such way that he can choose his quarter
at any point in the strip and get absolute
title at once. As his allotment must be con-
ffmed before the president can issue his
proclamation declaring the strip open and
the president must give twenty days time
between the issuing of the proclaim alton and
the opening of the try to settlement 1t
can be seen that the willy ex-chief will have
twenty days. start and can begin selling lots
that long before the opening, and by the
time the other settlers are allowed IN he and
his colleagues can have town built and
ready for business.
Bushyhead has refused an offer of $50, 900
for his allotment and it is ascertsined from
reliable sources that he and Owen have or
ganized a company of st. Louis and Chicago
capitalists to build a city to be backed by
millions and they are now seeking out the
very best townsite location on the strip for
that purpose.

TOPEKA, May 24.-Hon. Thomas Ryan, I'M

has arrived in Topeka with his family. Mr..
Ryan said he expected to again make To-
peka his home, although he has not yet made
any definite business arrangements. It is

Mr.. Ryan says the majority of the Ameri-
cans IN Mexico are interested in the silver
mines of that country. The exchange on
silver bullion for American money is very,
high, and now reaches So cents, SO that the
American miner must pay $l.53 of his silver
for 81 of American money.

A strike Causes . Wreck.

CH1cAGo, May 26-The threatened strike
Of telegraphers on the Chicago d Northwest
.rn road occurred at o'clock a. M, and an
hour later a disastrous wreck followed, in
solving many thousands of dollars worth of
property and causing q blockade CT the en-
tire Milwaukee division of the road.
Eighteen freight cars were piled up on top
of the engine. The accident happened at
S:15 and from that time until noon all the
traffic above that point had to be transferred.
Hundreds of suburbanites and many through
passengers from Green Bay and intervening
soints were delayed and put to tho incon-
venience of trotting through the rain to the
transfer coaches.
Com bined with the accident, the strike in
terfered with passenger and freight traffic
on the Milwaukee branch. Suburban trains
made slow time during the morning and no
through trains succeeded in passing the
blockade.
The number of men who stopped work was
estimated all the way from twenty-five by
The company officers to 300 by some of the
operators.
Chief Ramsey said the order to quit was
bogus and that the trouble had all been sell
tied. It wss owing to the fact that the order
to quit was suspected by many to be not genu-
inc that so few quit. He added that the
railway officials had explained their position
in regard to discharging men. The griev-
ance committee was thoroughly satisfied and
the members had left for their homes.

Refused to File a Paper.

TOPEKA, May 3O.-The secretary Of stats
has refused to file charter to Topeka cor
poration to be known az ''Ths Topeka Guar.
antee Investment company" Secretary Of
State Osborn says it is sin reality
swindling company" The secretary says:
The title of the charter was so adroitly
worded that We did not discover the true ma
ture of the company at once. 1t should have
been called the Bond Investment COM
pany.' 1t was organized to issue bonds for
various amounts to sell on monthly INSTALL
ments. AS the bonds fell due the patrons
would be paid of, but the company reserved
one-hfth of their own share. In course of
time, as the patrons fell out, the operators
would be left in full possession of every
thing"
The matter was laid before Attorney Cen
eral Little, who said there was no law which
warranted such an organization. and that ex-
Attorney General Ives had made a decision
which declared such companies illegal.

The President Makes Another Rule

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25.-The presi-
dent has found a new way of putting off the
Office seekers. He does not do it with a
lighted match applied to their heads like
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, but in fully as
effective a manner. One congressman from
a western state who has been waiting in
Washington for the announcement of an ap-
pointment, went to the treasury department
for the purpose of ascertainlng the reason
of the delay.
He was assured there was no difficulty
about the fitness of the man whose appoint
ment he had recommended for the position
in question and that at the proper time he
would be gwen the position.
Then what is the cause of the delay?" he
asked.
"Well," replied Secretary Carlisle, ''the
president has requested all of his cabinet
officers not to bring to him any papers or
make any recommendations in cases of ap-
pointments or inform him of any vacancies
which may exist until he shall himself call
for them." This will be exceedingly bitter
news to a number of applicants who are
waiting for a call from Washington for
them to enter the service of their country.
1t also means that many republicans will
have the pleasure of holding on to their
positions under a democratic administra-
tion for some time after their terms have
eYnired.

NOTABLE FAILURE.
Charles G. Foster, Ex-Secre-

NEW York, May 29.-No establishment was

he was interested in too many things just
now when it was bad time to be carrying

An Order Cutting OF Millions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 30.-Probably
the most important pension decision ever
sent from the Office of the secretary of the
interior to a commissioner of pensions, has
been filed. 1t is believed by those high in
authority in the pension bureau that it will
reduce the payment of pensions under the act
of June q. 1890. between fifteen and twenty
millions of dollars. 1t involves the repeal
of the order passed by General Raum and
approved by Assistant Secretary Bussey, and
q return to the language of the statute re-
curing disability not of service origin" to
be such as to prevent the applicant from
earning support by manual labor.
Secretary Hoke Smith has been consider
ing the principle involved in this decision
for several weeks and submitted the ques4
ton involved to Attorney General Olney and
Judge Lochren, commissioner of pensions,
both or whom concurred in the correctness
of the decision.
