Sanders Men Convicted.

When the news of their conviction was
brought to the Coxey army prison camp at
Fort Leavenworth the men quietly began
preparation to break away. About dark two
Of them started on run to the woods when
marshals took after them and fred dozen
shots. While this was being done men broke
from other places and it is said over forty
got away. The remainder of the army was
corralled and held until a troop of cavalry
came hurrie6ly from the garrison and sur
rounded them. The whole outfit was finally
marched by the cavalry and marshals to the
government building in Leavenworth, where
they we're held under strong guard to await
sentence. One of the men who first ran is
said to be shot in the hip and arm.
General Sanders was allowed to visit the
prison camp for the first time in several
weeks and he is accused of planning the
break for liberty. He said if the men were
sentenced and scattered over the iails of
Kansas he would establish a meeting place
and collect them again to march to Wash
ington.
The convicted men will be divided into
squads and sent to Topeka, Lawrence, Kan
eas City and Atchison to serve what SEN
tence is given at the jails in those places.

McGregor's Plan a Failure.

P1rTsBURG. KAN, June 22.-The miners
conference here, which was to have been an
interstate one comprising Kansas, Missouri
and the Indian Territory, proved to be a
Kansas affair entirely. 1t was gotten up to
cause suspension of work. I. B. McGreg-
or, the Missouri agitator, was on hand and
pulled hard for his object, but it was def
nitely settled that there would be no sus-
peuson in the district. The question of
forming an interstate association was also
discussed without result.
This failure on the part of the strike agi-
tators will no doubt settle all further hope
of the outside malcontents SO far as Kansas
is concerned. Delegates said if it had not
been for letting the strikers know that they
were unalter2 bly, opposed to a strike they
would not have attended the convention.
But two delegates we're here from the
Indian Territory and three from Missouri.

Twenty-Nine Deputy Commanders.

Hon. w. P. Campbell, of Wichita, de-
partment commander of the department of
Kansas g. A. R., after tour of visitation of
the posts of the southern part of the state
was very much pleased with the state of the
organization as he found it, and said that it
never had been in sucn good working order
as at present.
81 am trying new PLAN he stated sit
is to divide the state into twenty-nine dis
tricts and in each district appoint a COM
manding officer, who is for that part of the
state deputy department commander, and
as such will visit the posts and give them
the regular inspection and assist in all ways
possible to encourage the mepbers. The
reports so far are few, but they indicate
that men are appreciating the new plan
and are showing more interest than for
merely in the work. This is just what was
wanted and feel very much gratifed over
the prospects of the complete success of the
plan -

The senate still at the Tariff.

The Senate Still at the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June Ex-senator
Frye protested against the first paragraph of
the paper and book schedule of the tariff
bill, placing duty of 100 per cent on me-
chanically ground wood pulp and chemical
wood pulp, bleached or un bleached.
The production of wood pulp, said Senator
FRYE was an enormous industry, employing
10000 men, turning out product valued az
$35, 100000 annually, and paying an annual
wage OF So, 100000 Under the operation of
the present duty the cost of paper had greatly
decreased. Wood pulp had decreased IN
price from Az cents per pound to IA cents
in the last ten years. 1t was produced in
twenty-nine states. but principally IN Maine
and New York. He appealed to the other
side to make the duty specific instead of ad
valorem and proposed an amendment to
substitute equivalent SPECIFIC rates, say 81
An amendment to substitute equivalent
specific rates, say $3.50 per ton, on wood
pulp. mechanically ground, chemical wood
pulp, un bleached S5 per ton and bleached
$3.50 per ton.
The democratic members of the finance
committee refused to accept the amendment
and it was rejected; 20-23.
1t was not until coal was reached that op-
position developed. The house bill placed
coal on the free list The finance committee
amendment duty placed duty of 40 cents
ton on bituminous coal and shale, Is cents
on slack and culm and 15 per cent. ad valo-
rem on coke.
AS soon as the clerk had read this para
graph Senators Hill and PETER jumped to
their feet The New York senator was rec
ognized, and be sent to the clerks desk an
amendment to relegate bituminous coal and
shale to the free list
The vote on Mr.. Hills motion to place
bitumnous coal on the free list was: Yeas.
III; nays. 81.
Senators Allen, Hansbrough, Hill, Irby,
Kyle. PETER and Washburn voted aye.
Senator Hill said he reserved the right to
vote for or against the tariff bill when Il
see what it is as fnality.' Passionately ex-
claiming: "God knows what the bill will
be like when it passes the senate and comes
out of conference; God knows how many
more extortions and concessions will be
wrung from the unwilling hands of the COM
mittee.'

Gold Balancs at the Lowest.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 22.-The gold
reserve, after deducting s., 2,250, 900 engaged
ior shipment. is S64, 7O3 O47, or $735, $50 lower
than ever before in its history. On Febru-
airy 2, 1894, just previous to the bond issue,
the reserve reached $65 438, 1877, the lowest
point to that time, and the cash balance was
S83, ,545, ,102. The cash balance to-day was
S115.763, ,715. or $31 1,518,613 greater than on
February 2.
The treasury officials are apparently not
alarmed at the continued outflow of gold.
The July interest payments abroad, the
large amount now being required by the
large army of American tourists now NOV
ing toward Europe, and possibly the with
drawal of European capital which has not
found satisfactory investment here, are
thought to be some of the causes of the pres
ent demand for gold. Previous experience
seems to warrant belief that within a very
short interval the tide will have turned and
the gold flow back again.
There is no lack of gold in the country in
the last national bank statement, which
shows that ON May 4, 1894, the national
banks of the United States held specie to
the amount of $3.50. .941 1923, of which over
S204, 100000 was in gold and gold certificates.
The treasury receipts SO far this year aggre-
gates 1886. .877, ,632 and the expenditures $751;
Isl ,337 leaving a deficit for the year up to
this time of $74, 4,273,705.

Suit Against Officials.

ATCHIsoN, June 22.-Ethel Phelps, the
twelve-year old daughter of H. B. Phelps,
is the plaintiff in a $1,000 damage suit
against Governor Lewelling, the Atchison
police commissioners, Mayor Cloyes, and
the city of Atchison, which has been filed.
The damage was claimed because it is al
legged that the defendants allowed joints to
run, where the father of the child bought
drink, and therefore robbed the plaintiff of
the support she might have otherwise re-
ceived.
1t will be remembered that the mother
of the child brought a similar suit a week
ago against the city and county of Atchison,
but as the police power of cities of the first
class in Kansas is under the supervision of
the state instead of the city it would appear
that the new suit is an attempt to cover a
mistake
