INSOLENT ALIENS.

Negroes Trying to Get Guns to
Defend Themselves.

CHICAGO, Aug. "a Special to the
Post from Spring Valley, Ill, says: The
foreigners, under the leadership of the
Italians, and the negroes, have con-
centrated their forces at Seatonville, are
both organizing today, and, as the towns
are practically under mob law, deadly
conflict is anticipated.
The nom English speaking miners of
Spring Valley to the number of 1000
held mass meeting at the lumber yard
near the Rock Island depot today and
passed resolution that no negroes
men, women or invalids-would be al
lowed to remain inside the city limits
after 5 o'clock tomorrow evening.
Speeches of the most inhammable ma
ture were made advocating the imme-
diate opening up of hOsrilities. The ne
groes at Seatonville held meeting at the
Union church later and organized them
selves for active service. Bureau coun-
ty has 800 repeating wi nchester rifles
stored in the court house at
Princeton for the protection of the citi-
zens. and an effort will be made to Sc
cure these.
Should this fail the men will arm them
selves with shotguns or rifles and small
arms and make an effort to regain their
homes and household goods.
1hey also passed resolution that
they would continue to work in the
Spring Valley mines until discharged by
the coal company.
AS the police and sheriff are making
no effort to arrest the rioters the spirit of
lawlessness is on the increase.
In addition to the negroes reported in
jured at yesterdays conflict, four others
are missing as follows: Washington

ABOUT THE GOLD CIRCULAR

John r. Mu1vane Says 1t is DIabolical.
Ever since the United States pension
agency of this district has been located
in Topeka the local pensioners have had
their checks cashed every quarter at the
Bank of Topeka
This is pension day and when a STATE
JOURNAL reporter visited the Bank of
Topeka at 11:30 a. NJ, over five hundred
pension checks had already been paid
Cashier J. W. Thurston paid most of
these himself the overflow being paid
through the regular paying teller's win
dow.
Altogether today about $4,000 was
paid out through the Bank of Topeka to
Shawnee county pensioners, the checks
cashed averaging about $40 apiece.
Mr.. j. R. Mulvane, president of the
bank, showed a JOURNAL reporter
through the bank while the payment was
window. where the old soldiers were
being paid, there was a pile of money
stacked up-gold, silver and paper.
| Mr.. Mulvane said: "We generally pay
most of the pensioners in gold, as it is
more convenient when we are
rushed, but this circular which
was distributed among the
pensioners is diabolicaL know not what
else to call it. We do not get cent for
ing these checks We do not charge
these veterans anything for col
lecting their money and it really
costs US about $50 every quarter to han
| die this pension business We must be
very particular about every check and
the checks must be forwarded to Wash
ington by express. We can't risk the
mails.
''The government does not keep any
money deposited with US, SO you can see
how foolish it is that this anonymous
circular should be sent out telling them
to demand gold"
"Have you had any demands for gold
on the strength of the circular?" asked
the reporter.
''Only two men asked for gold. Mr..
Thurston paid one in gold, and the other
fellow, who made a rather insolent
demand was told to get out of the bank.
I would order every man out of the bank
who makes a demand of that kind, when
we are cashing their checks as an &C
| commodation"

HAWAII FTLTBUSTE ERERS.

Consul General Wilder Doesn't Believe
Queen LIPS Friends Are Organizing.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-Consu1 Gen
eral Wilder discredits the story about an
alleged attempt to organize fIibuster
ing expedition in this city to overthrow
the Hawaiian government and restore
Queen Liliuokalani to the throne. He
says: "The story is ridiculous, and so
far as l have been able to ascertain, is
absolutely without foundation. l never
heard of W. P. Morrow before, nor of his
alleged scheme to organize flibustering
expedition to overthrow the Dole gov
ernment Furthermore, I take no stock
in it.
"As matter of fact. am inclined to
think that Morrow is simply q confidence
man who has hit upon this expedient as
a clever way of making a few dollars.
He was to collect $16 from each of 300
or more adventurers, and that would have
been the last ever heard of his so-called
daring plan to re-establish the monarchy
on the islands"

EX-GOv. PORTER'S VIEW.
He Says the West is in Favor of an Ex-
Panded Currency.

Panded Currency.
New YORK, Aug 5.-Ex- Governor Al
bert G. Porter of Indiana is at the Fifth
Avenue hotel Mr.. Porter has just re-
turned from three months "trip up the
Atlantic coast in search of rest. Among
other things he said in an interview:
Taking Indiana, or, in fact taking all
the western states as unit. do not doubt
that they are predisposed to an expan-
sion of the currency-or rather. 1
should say they were predisposed to the
expansion of the currency. That is q
peculiar fact in connection with the
period of business depression. Then the
public, as a rule, is in favor of increas-
ing the currency so that everybody can
have money. AS times gets better this
feeling dies out and hardly think that
the free silver agitation will prove so
much of factor in the next national
election"
In reply to a question regarding the
reports that Governor Matthews is a pos
sible candidate for the nomination on the
Democratic national ticket next year and
that the governor would have the sup
port of the Indiana delegation in the
next Democratic national convention,
hlr. Porter argued:
81 think it is probable that he will re-
ceive the support of the state delegation
in the convention. He is popular and
has been prudent"

LABOR ORDERS DISAGREE.
Therefore There VIII BE Two Parades and
Two Picnics in Chicago.

Therefore There VIII Be Two Parades and
Two Picnics in Chicago
CHICAGO, Aug. $50 wide and deep is
the breach between labor organizations
in Chicago that all efforts to patch it up
in order to have one big parade on Labor
Day was fruitless. That there will be
two parades, at least, appears certain.
Meetings of both the Trades and Labor
Assembly and the Labor Congress were
held last evening, but nothing was done
toward bringing the two bodies together
in the parade.
The entertainment committee of the
Trades and Labor Assembly announced
that it had accepted the invitation of the
Building Trades Council to cooperate
with the latter organization, and that it
had decided to indorse the Building
Trades Councils picnic at Ogden's grove.
This means that these two bodies will
parade together.
At the meeting of the Labor Congress
it was decided to invite all central or
ganizations, except the Trades and Labor
Assembly, to unite with the Labor Con-
gress on Labor Day. And so the matter
stands.
The Trades and Labor Assembly is
willing tolunite with all bodies except the
Labor Congress, and the Labor Congress
is willing to unite with all bodies except
the Trades and Labor Assembly.

WILL SUPPLANT STEAM.

Baldwin Locomotive Works to Expert
ment with Electricity for Engines.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5-The success
fal use of electricity as a motive power
on steam roads has led the Baldwin
Locomotive works and the Westing house
Electric and Manufacturing Co. to effect
a combination. Conferences have been
going on between the companies for the
past two or three months which have
resulted in an agreement by which they
will hereafter work together in the
development of apparatus for the opera
ton of steam railways by electricity.
1t is expected that the Union of these
two companies will result in the early
introduction of improved forms of cleo
trio motors for standard railroads.

BUY ROME FOR THE POPE.
Chicago Roman Catholics Do Not Be

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Roman Catholics of
Chicago place little reliance in the story
from London that there is a project on
foot, advanced by a number of wealthy
Spaniards, to purchase Rome from Italy,
and thus free the pope from what is con-
sidered his imprisonment, although vol

Taking everything into consideration
local dignitaries and laymen who are
more or less familiar with papal posi-

for notoriety or the product of an over
Jealous and imaginative individual.

chased from the Italian government for
any purpose, and then. admitting such a
possibility, the pope could not give his
consent to accept the dominion

that the papal throne has been deprived
wrongfully of its power, is known
throughout the world, but he considers

OVER SIX THOUSAND.

Kansans Whom the Railroads Helped
"BIow Thsmselves'' at Kansas City.
Every road that reaches Kansas City
through Topeka had an excursion at
greatly reduced rates yesterday and did
q big business. The trains were crowded
on the Union Pacific, the Santa Fe and
the Rock Island The Rock Island
claims the star business and says it took
to Kansas City on its excursion over 1000
people, 200 of whom were from Topeka.
The Santa Fe did the best business out
of Topeka, carrying 460, and the
trains took into Kansas City over 1900
persons. The Union Pacific carried only
about eighty Topeka people, but handled
over 1000 to Kansas City.
It was a big excursian day, and the
side doors of most of the Kansas City
saloons were open.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The statement
of United States Minister DENLY and
Consul General Jernigan that no Ameri-
cans were injured in the attack by the
Chinese mob upon the missions at Kn
Cheng, relieves our navy department
from the necessity of ordering some of
the American naval forces to the scene
of the trouble, although this incident
will undoubtedly form the subject of an
other demand upon the Chinese govern
ment for reparation and indemnity for
the outrage upon the property rights of
