LABOR CENSURES HIM.

Trades Unions of Kansas Making an Or
ganized Movement Against Gov. Morrill,.
The indignation of the laboring classes
of Kansas at the recent appointments by
Governor Morrill, to the places of state
mine inspector and state labor commits
sioner is beginning to burst forth in black
and white.
These are two offices that affect the
Kansas laboring man immensely, and
they were interested to the extent of
having endorsed two men of their own
number for the positions and petitioning
Governor Morrill, to appoint them. He
paid no attention to these petitions, and
protest is being raised against it
]. G. SamuelsOn of Topeka, secretary
of the Kansas Federation of Labor and
also Of the Topeka Trades Assembly,
held the endorsement for labor commits
siOner, and James Graham, practical
miner of Leavenworth, was the organ
lied labor choice for mine inspector.
Recently the unions of the assembly
at Topeka received the following circu-
lar from the Trades and Labor Council
at Leavenworth:
"You are respectfully requested to
protest in writing to Gov. z. n. Morrill,
for the manner in which he has treated
the petitions of union men for the posi-
tons of labor commissioner and safe
mine inspector.
"Hoping you will comply with this re-
quest for the good of organized labor we
remain fraternally,
VIM A. Dodge, President,
CHAs N. BIRCH. Secretary"
At the meeting of the Clerks union
Monday night set of resolutions in ac-
cordance with the request of the Leaven-
worth council will oe passed. 1t is also
expecfed that a majority of the seven
teen unions and organizations that belong
to the Trades and Labor Assembly of
Topeka will do the same thing
The circular from Leavenworth has
been issued to all the labor unions of the
state and an expression from Kansas
labor on the subject that will be startling
is expected soon.

T. II. Lescher Is Drawing the Plans and
Building VIII Soon Begin.
T. H Lescher, the architect, spent a
part of today and yesterday looking over
the ruins of the Sumner school that was
destroyed by fire last fall, with view to
drawing the new plans and specifica-
tions as ordered by the board of educa-
ton.
The building will be rebuilt as early
as possible, and it is possible will be
complete again within three months.
Mr. Lescher says the walls are very little
damaged and will be used without any
difficulty. The lower floor was not much
damaged, but new flooring will have to be
put in. The lower story will be papered
and the upper one plastered.
The roof will not be like the old one.
In the new plans the tower is to be left
of That is the latest thing in school
house building. The roof will be hipped
aud have gables on the north and south.
Mr.. Lescher says it will cost about
$4,000 or $4,000 to rebuild the structure
although when it was new it cost about
$4,000.
The board is also getting ready for its
spring job of looking over the other
school buildings to repair them for next
winter. This has to be done every sum-
mer.

The Terms oi Pence.

WASHINGTON. April ll.-Au author
native statement OF the terms of
peace being negotiated between CHI
ma and Japan has been secured fro M
official sources. The statement is
made in orderto clear up much APP
prehension arising from speculation
The terms are as follows:
First-The indepen lence of Corea.
Second-The permanent cession Of
the Island of Formosa to Japan.
Third-An indemnity of 3OO,OOO,OOO
taels, a Chinese coin worth s1.33.
Fourth-The permanent occupa-
ton of Port Arthur and immediate
contiguous territory.
The new Japan China treaty, open-
ing the interior of China to Com
MERGE.
The money indemnity is expressed
In Chinese taels instead of Japanese
yen. The tael is in reality weight in
stead Of coin. 1t is considered silver
money. While the face value 81 .33
would be equivalent to S399,OOO,OOO
in silver, it is said the actual value
would be between s21O,OOO,OOO and
1920, 100000 in gold.
The fifth term as to the new treaty
includes various trade features, such
as free access to Chinese rivers. There
Is no demand for, territory on the
mainland outside of Port Arthur and
its contiguous surroundings.

Written in Blood.

Some sixty odd years ago the cash
Ter OF a Liverpool merchant once re-
ceived in tender for business pay
ment Bank OF England note, which
he held up to the scrutiny of the light
80 as to make sure of its genuineness.
He observed some partially indistinct
red marks of words traced out on the
front Of the note beside the lettering,
and on the margin.
Curiosity tempted him to try to de-
cipher the words so strangely in
scribed. With great difficulty, SO
family written were they, and so
much obiterated, the words we're
found to form the following SEN
tence:
"If this note should fall into the
hands Of John Dean, of Longhiu, near
Carlisle, he will learn hereby that his
brother Is languishing prisoner in
Algiers
MIR. Dean, on beng shown the note,
lost no time in asking the Govern
ment to make intercession for his
brothers freedom.
1t appeared that for eleven long
years the latter had been slave to
the Dey of Algiers, and that his fam
lily and relatives believed him to be
dead. With piece of wood he had
traced in his own blood on the bank
note the message which was eventual,
ly to secure his release.
The Government aided the efforts
of his brother to set him free, this be.
ing accomplished on payment of d
ransom to the Dey.
