DOUBTFUL OF THE STATE PROTECTION
Kansas Mine Owners Desire the Aid Of
United States Mar~hais-

United States Marshais-
TOPEKA. KAN, July 2l.-The openly ex-
pressed sympathy Of the state admins trstion
for the striking coal miners and the fear that a
will incte the strikers TO lawess acts wbich will
result in great damage TO the MINES, has in
duced the mine operators to appeal to the fed
eral authorities for protection. All of the mine
companies doing businessin southeastern Kansas
are Incorporated under the laws Of Missouri
and are consequently foreign companies. II Is
proposed to apply 10 the United States courts
for an injunction restraining every striker
from trespassing upon the property Of the mine
owners, or from interfering in any war with
men who are at work in the mines. All Of the
federal judges having jurisdiction in Kansas
are out OF the state, some IN Colo
rado and some in Chicago The necessary
papers have been prepared and dispatched in
charge of an attorney to Denver, where Judge
kiner is holding court The proceedings are
similar to those taken by the Missouri Pacific
Railroad Company in 1885, and by the Toledo
and Ann Arbor Railroad Company recently.
The object Of these proceedings is to place ths
strike district in charge Of United States mars
shais instead Of running he risk of intrustina
ii 70 state authorities in case OF any emergency.
The situation in the mining district is be-
coming serious and a bloody conhict between
strikers and operators is imminent. The
major general Of the Kansas national quad has
been sent to Pittsburg 70 be in readiness 10
take command OF the militia company IN case
their services should be required

Contracts for Steel Forptnrs.

Contracts for over $500, 900 worth Of steel
forgings have been awarded by the Navy De-
partment to the Bethlehem iron works and the
MidvaIe Steel Company in equal shares. These
forgings are for the construction Of guns for
the cruiser Brooklyn, tho corvette Essex and
the three new gunboats. The Bethlehem Com
pany will furnish the forgings for the five and
twelve-inch guns and the Midvale Company for
the three, four and eight-inch guns. The con-
tract rates for these forgings are much less than
under previous contracts and ordnance officers
are very much encouraged thereat The $780,
900 which is to be paid for these forgings does
not involve the entire expense Of supplying the
ships mentioned with ordnance as il is esti-
mated that 1t will require 1886, 200 more for

Frances answer.
Sir Edward replied that regards the only
point really concerning Great Britain, namely

was still in communication with the govern
ment of France. No geographical Limitation
had yet been laid down.
