State Irrigation Board Discussing
the Irrigating Bids.
THEY ARE NUMBERED BY SCORES
The Board Seeks to BE Guaranteed
Against Loss or Failure.

The Board Seeks to BE Guaranteed
Against Loss or Failure.
The entire state board of irrigation
met this morning at the office of the
board of public works and had pleas
ant, chatty time.
Judge Sutton was there Judge Frost
was there; and Mr.. Tomb bin of Goodland
managed to be present and say a few
little things occasionally. So also did
Professor Haworth OF the state uni
versity. President Fairchild of the agri-
cultural college sat back at the end of
the table and watched the others.
The session lasted more than two hours
There were contracts for four pump
ing stations to be let The stations are
located in Logan, Wichita, Greeley and
Lane counties and the bids for drilling,
mills, pumps, reservoirs etc, were very
numerous. So numerous and so incom-
prehensible were they in fact that the
committee simply sat down in the middle
of the pile and refused to be cOmforted.
Every subject was discussed and every
subject was dropped with charming reg
ularlty before IL was completed. One
man wanted one thing and one man
wanted another, and no man was heard
through his entire speech. Some of the
bids were looked over, and the subject
of gas engine proposal will probably
give part of the board at least chance
to go to Kansas City before the day is
done.
Its idea, the board says, is to save the
state the cost of experimenting with
different pumping plants. It wants the
state to buy only satisfactory outfits, and
wants the firm making bids to
prove the efficiency of their ma
chinery by actual experiment before
it is accepted. Every bid that is at all
reasonable will be considered, and the
bidders allowed to try one of their out
fits in actual operation If it is satisfac-
tory it will be allowed to remain. If
not, 1t will be torn up by the roots and
some other fellow given chance.
Only good machinery will be accepted
at whatever cost. 1t is probable now
that each pumping station will cost in
the neighborhood of 5000. At first it
was thought the cost could be kept at
about $50O.
The state is pretty poor, anyway Once
during the morning a requisition was
made on the state for pens, ink and pa
per. The sergeant at arms came back in
a short time with the news that the
state was shy on pens, ink and paper.
Secretary Coburn was present and said
he didn't doubt 1t, the state was too poor
to even furnish him Irvine to tie up pack
ages of papers with.
1t was Immediately suggested that
Secretary of the Board Sutton be in
structed to buy fifteen cents worth of
paper at one place, fifteen cents worth
of ink at another, and fifteen cents
worth of pens at another, and have the
bills sent to the state.

Chinese Legation Not Informed of the
Reported Kfoting.

Washington, June 12.-Yesterday state
department officials, after investigating
the reports of the Chinese massacre,
said that they thought an error had
been made in the transmission of the
name of the place where the massacre
is said to have occurred. 1t is believed
that this name instead Of Cheng Tu
should be Cheng TIE, the capital of HUI
nan. In this place there are a number
of foreign missionaries. and the anti
foreign feeling IS very strong. In 1893
there were threatening demonstrations
by the people, and the missionaries were
kept for some time in a state of terror
by the display of placards abusing the
foreign devils" and warning the ma
tives against utilization with them. The
condition of affairs was regarded by
United States Minister DENLY as grave
enough to warrant representations to
the Chinese government and the facts
were made the subject of several re-
ports from the minister to the state de-
partment. Cheng TIE is accessible to
small gunboats and a British warship
visited the neighborhood years ago. The
Chinese legation has received no in
formation as to the reported massacre
OF all missionaries in Cheng Tu or
Cheng TIE, and strong hopes are enter
tanned that the affair may be less seri-
Gus than the meager reports Indicate.

Fight Nearing the End.

Providence, r. l., June 12.-The fight
between the operatives and manufac-
turers for nearly two months at the At
lantic mill, and half that time at all
the other mills in O%lneyville, is appa-
rently nearing its end. It is estimated
that 1000 employees have left Olneyville
since the fight began. Two hundred
and twenty-four looms are now run
ming at the Riverside. At the National
mills the final stand Of the strikers is
evidently to be made. The strike lead
ers assert that they can continue the
fight here indefinitely.

LOSE TITLE.
Mistaken Ruling In wisconsin CENTRAL
Land Cases Works a Hardship.


Land Cases Works a Hardship.
Milwaukee, June 12.-The full purport
Of the decisions handed down by the
United States supreme court on June 8
in two Wisconsin Central and cases did
not appear from the brief dispatches
announcing the reversal of judgment
against the Wisconsin Central Railway
company. AS a result of these decisions
scores of people who stood in line at the
Ashland land Office in 1890, when por-
tons Of the lands in controversy were
thrown open to settlement under a mis-
taken ruling Of the interior department,
lose their title to the property on which
they filed at that time. The land is
located within a Short distance of Ash
land and has been claimed for years by
the Wisconsin Central Railway COM
pany under a congressional grant made
to the state in aid of it's railways. The.
government land department has al
ways refused to recognize the claim of
the railroad company and in 1890 pro-
claimed the lands open to settlement.
The railroad company was thus COM
PEELED in self-defense to bring action Of
ejectment against the squatters. In
1891 two such cases were tried in the
United States circuit court at Madison
and resulted in a victory for the squat
tiers. The company then appealed to
the supreme court Of the United States.

United States Revenue Cutter to Patrol
Coast Of Florida.
Washington, June 12.-The announce
ment that the United States steamer
Raleigh would be ordered to the Florida
coast for the purpose Of cooperating
with revenue cutters to prevent fllibus-
tering expeditions destined for Cuba
from our shores was officially confirmed
yesterday by the PRONUNCIATION Of orders
directing the cruiser mentioned to pro-
coed to Key West at the earliest prac-
ticable moment. The sudden activity
in the direction Of preventing flibuster-
ing is intended more for the purpose Of
demonstrating to Spain a desire on the
part of this government to obtain a
careful observance. of it's neutrality laws
rather than with any expectancy Of
making captures. By it's action the adj
ministration hopes to convince Spain
the United States is thoroughly in earn
est in it's desire to carry out the prin-
ciples laid down by the Alabama Claims
commission.

DlTCHED FREIGHT CARS BURN.
Fatal Wreck Occurs on the P%hiladelph
& Erie Road.


Kane, Pa, June ia bad freight
wreck occurred at l o'clock this morn
Ing three miles east of this place. A
heavily loaded eastbound freight train
on the Philadelphia & Erie, while run
ming at a good rate of speed, was
dltched and nineteen cars piled up.
A car of oil was in the wreck and took
fire. The fluid spread to the wreckage
and the nineteen cars burned. One man,
supposed to be a boilermaker from Erie,
who was beating his way, was killed. It
is thought there are others in the wreck,
but nothing can be done until the fire
is extinguished. A 16-year-old boy who
was in the same car with the man killed
escaped without injury. He says there
were others in the car, but no trace of
them can be found. Wrecking trains
have been ordered and the track will
be cleared.
