SUNSET KINGS PLAY.
1t Is ShakespoareAn And VIII BE Pro-
duced AS Campaign Work.

KANSAS CRY, Kan, May 22.-The play
which the Populists have promised
should be put on the boards as a part of
their campaign of reform has at last been
written and will soon be presented in
Kansas City. The first production will
be for the benefit of organized labor of
the two Kansas Citys.
The author of the play is Judge S. S.
King. who was a candidate for congress
in the Second district two years ago and
who is now police judge of Kansas City,
Kansas In speaking of his play Judge
King said:
81 have not named it yet, but it is, in
effect dramatized lecture. The open
ing scene is from Shakespeare's 'Corio-
lanus.' A company of mutinOus citizens
appear upon the stage armed with slaves,
clubs and other weapons and demand
bread 'CoriOIanus' replies contemptu-
ousIy, saying, Would the nobility lay
aside their ruth and let me use my
sword, I'd make a quarry with thousands
of these quarter'd slaves. as high as 1
could pick my lance
"The next and closing scene is of our
present day. The scene is the state
house steps, Boston; the time, February
20, 1894. Enter 1000 hungry citizens,
without slaves, clubs or other weapons.
Governor Greenhalge of Massachusetts,
replies to their entreaties. much as did
the ancient Coriolanus. After leaving
the rabble, the governor goes to the ban
quet hall of the presidents of the life
insurance companies of the nation, and
there makes a speech of an entirely diff
ferent character. The exact words of the
governor in these two addresses are not
given, but the spirit of his remarks are
carefully preserved The effect is to
show the relation of labor and capital
1t requires about twelve people to play
it, only few of whom have speaking
parts"
Judge King then rehearsed portion
of his play for the benefit of the re-
porter. The judge is something of a
tragedian himself, and, in the proper
makeup, would make an excellent
Roman gladiator. He will probably
take leading part in the play, which
will assure its success.

All the Miners are Given Raise in
Wages.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, May 22.-The
Leavenworth Coal company last night
announced to its $50 miners voluntary
Increase in price of mining of 1915 cents
per ton, effective today. This makes the
price $1.121a for coal screened.
Home mine announced an increase of
10 per cent ton for mine run coal, max
ing the price 80 cents, which is tie same
as $1.121a after coal passed over
screen. Home shaft employs $50 men
and both mines are getting IN more or
ders than they can fill, running at full
capacity. Miners are jubilant
The Kansas and Texas company has
not decided what it will do. An increase
to its local miners would mean a similar
advance at all it's shafts where there is
now trouble.
LeavenwOrth and Home shafts took
aggressive steps to prevent the reoccur-
ence of last summers walk-out At the
advanced price about two-thirds of the
miners will make from 1915 to So day.
There is no probability of any strike
now.

PITTsBURG, Kan, May 22.-The strike
situation today remains much the same
as yesterday. The Missouri delegation
accompanied by the miners from Mid
way, Minden, Yale and few from
Frontenac, left last night at $3.50
o'clock to march to ChicOpee
where it was intended that a meeting
would be held today but owing to a fu-
neral there today, they will probably re-

The same mines are all idle as before
with no prospects of opening soon.
1t is thought by a great many that as
soon as the brass band flags, etc, leave
the men will return to work, but that is
a doubtful matter.

vehtion will re-convene at o'clock this
afternoon, but what will be the outcome
Of the convention is of no more certainty
than when the delegates went home last
Saturday.

Intention of bringing out a host of candi-
dates from his own county, but two Kan
sas City lawyers are nevertheless being
groOmed and one of the two may be pre-
Sented to the convention this afternoon.
These new candidates are Judge III. n.
Alden and W. r. Smith. Both are re-
cOgnized good lawyers but neither of
them has ever been thought of in con-
nection with a congressional nomination
before this.
Another dark horse being talked of is
w. w. Martin of Fort Scott Mr.. Martin
has lately been in Washington, but when
he heard of the deadlock in the conven-
tion here he started for home and is now
on the ground

Blue has for several months been can
didate for congressman at large, but
now shat things in his own district have
SO shaped themselves that a leader Is
wanted he would gladly become their
Moses.
The other candidates for congressman
at-large are anxious that Blue may be
taken up by the Second district, which
will give some one a better show in the
state convention.
The friends of Charley Smart, who
in the lead when the convention ad-
jOurned on Saturday, are confident their
man will be nominated when the dele
oates are called TO order this afternoon
while Senator Parker's friends have not
given up hope that the Johnson county
legislator may yet get the nomination.
Farmer F'unston's 80 votes are still his
and the Allen county statesman hopes
yet to be renominated.
1880 p. m.-The candidates and all the
delegates are on hand to resume the con-
test in the congressional convention in
this city at 4 O'clock. Buchan was the
first to arrive, coming in last night.
Howard, Funston and Smart came this
morning.
Anti-FunstOn caucuses are again being
held this afternoon, but from what can
be learned, the candidates are seemingly
as determined to remain firm as when
the convention adjourned last Saturday.
Many expect break to be made
this afternoon, but there is no
foundation for such prediction. Many,
too believe the anti Funston compact
say not, and the outcome is just as un-
certain now as it was when the conven-
tion first met last Thursday

shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon and
proceeded to ballot.

Signs That There Will Be Much

PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-An impor-
tant meeting of bituminous coal miners
from the central Pennsylvania region
where the miners are now on strike,
was held in this city last evening.
Every operator in the district was pres
ent and it was agreed that the men
should be given until May % in which
to return to work.
Failing to do SO by that time the mines
will be thrown open to whoever
seeks employment and those men
who decide to go to work
will be protected. A resolution was
adopted to the effect that the operators
unanimously agreed that it is impossible
to pay the employees more than their
present wages of 40 cents per ton. The
resolution says that while the mine own
ers prefer to have their miners at work,
if they do not care to resume, they (the
operators) will take such measures as
they deem necessary to conduct their
business. The territory represented en-
ploys between 10000 and $4,000 miners,
all of them being either Irish. Huns or
Swedes, the first predominating.
