IN NORTH CAROLINA.

During the war Alexander Collie &
Co. had carried out many contracts f,r
the State of North Carolina, while Zeb-
zion vance was Governor. and at the
close of the war the State. morally. if
not legally, owed Il very large amount
TO this firm. for which the state held i'm
trust large number of bales OF cotton,
which cotton am under the impression
was seized by the Treasury Depart
mcnt Of the United States and sold.
The Claims against the State OF North
Carolina held by this firm. which were
evidenced by certificates issued by tho
state having been assigned TO the
creditors of the firm on It's failure.
an offer was made by some of the friends
of Alexander Collie. Including cx-Gov-
ernor Vance, then Senator OF the United
states, To have the Legislature Of North
Carolina redeem these certificates by a
grant of unoccupied lands belonging "a
the literary fund OF the State: and a
proposition was made to the E.nrIi.h
creditor that, If they would surrender
these certificates and allow liberal
portion OF the proceeds for expenses.
ana for MIR. Collie. the grant would
he made. But the English creditors,
more greedy than wise. refused the prn-
position. and now the certificates In =
ioid are as worthless as ConretleI ate

Composition Am ong Packers.

KANSAS CITY, KAN, March 14.-Packers
of this city sre in trouble regarding their
business on the Pacific coast, owing to the
competition of packing houses recently es-
tablished in San Francisco.
The Kanse City bureau of transportation,
says local paper, is now preparing a petit
tion for cuts of freight rates from this city
west, in order that this competition may be
more easily met. which will be presented to
the Transcontinental Freight association at
it's meeting at Chicago.
The reduction of rates which the associa-
ton will be asked to grant has not yet been
decided by the packers, but the cut will have
to be made material in order to give the
Kansas City packers a fair opportunity to
retain the greater share of their business in
California, Oregon and Washington.
South Omaha packers now make ship
ments to the Pacific coast under the same
rates that effe ct Kansas City and will join in
the request for the red uction,

Arraneements Made.

TOPEKA, March 18.-The directors of the
Hutchinson reformatory had further con-
situations with Auditor Co,e.
The auditor said he could not arrange for
the officers to secure the money set apart By
the appropriation before it becomes ava lila.
BILE. Various methods were suggested, and
that finally dec .ded upon will be at once put
into active operation. The directors will
issue vouchers in the amounts they desire to
use and present them to Hutchinson banks
for payment 1t is said that some of the
banks have already manifested their will
ingness to accept the vouchers and hold
them for payment until July /, at which
time Mr.. Cole says they will be promptly
paid.
The first work to be done is cleaning up
the premises of the institution. Then a dim
ing room and kitchen will be prepared in
the ad administration building for use while
thu remaining buildings are undergoing
ompletion.
There are GAO acres of land in the tract
belonging to the state Of this amount lac
acres will be placed il cultivation this
epring. A portion of the land will be sown
to alfalfa and the remainder will be used
for gardening. This" said Mr.. Hatch,
will be done to provide something for the
inmates to eat and thereby reduce the cost
for maintenance to the lowest posi- BILE
amount" The superintendent will return
to Hutchinson and remain while the work
of planting and sowing goes on. 1t is the
ambition of the directors to have the re-
formatory in condition for the reception of
inmates by July /.

The National Bank of Kansas City.
The National Bank of Kansas City, Mo-,
Is closed and IL the hands of Bank Examiner
g. w. Galbreath as temporary receiver.
President ]. S. Chick says that the suspen-
zion is merely liquidation and that not
depostor will lose a cent. Since March 8
the depostors have been drawing out, as
they considered the statement very unfavor-
able. On Saturday over 10000 was with
drawn, and the officers saw that if the run
continued they would not be able to con-
tinue payment.
There is no proba bility that any of the
other banks will be affected in any way.
While there was considerable excitement
when the su pension was first made public,
yet there is the best of feeling among the
depositors for the officers of the failed insti-
tuition.
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal, of Kan
sas, says that the failure of the National
Bank of Kansas City will not seriously affect
Kansas banks.
Mr.. Breidenthal says that about fifty Kan
sas banks are correspondents of the National
Bank of Kansas City, but that since the
bank trouble in 1893 they have, as rule,
kept but small balances tn IRE. He says the
failure of the bank to fully restore the con-
fidence of its country correspondents has
no doubt been one of the principal causes
of its present trouble.

international pIrrIouItIes.

WALsENBURG, COL, March 15.-The United
States may have an international compiled
ton on its hands as the result of the mob
violence here in which five Italians, who
were believed to be unnaturalized, were
killed.
About midnight seven or eight men wear
ing masks, knocked at the door of the Jail
where Lorenzo Danino, who was charged
by the Italians with having struck the blow
that killed HixoD, and the Italian wounded
in the wagon attack, were confined. In an
swer to question, the men said O'Malley,
the sheriff, wanted to enter AS soon as the
door was opened the guards found guns in
their faces
Part of the masked men then went to the
cell where the two Italians were confined
and fred eight or ten shots. Each prisoner
received four or five bullets. One died in
etantly, but the other lived short time in
great agony. No trace has yet been found
of the three Italians who were taken from
the wagon, though they were killed beyond
Il doubt.

1t VIII BE a Contest.

TOPEKA. March cO-John w. Breidenthal
will Tot relinquish his position as state bank
commissioners without fight. He claims he
is the only man who was legally appointed
and confirmed in conformity with the re-
quirements of the law.
Mr.. Breidenthal admits that Charles y.
johnson was occupying the position. having
been appointed but never confirmed by the
senate. He further insists that the full re-
quirement of the law was not fulfilled until
the senate confirmed the appointment.
Governor Lewelling appointed Mr.. Breiden
thai and the senate confirmed him. The
con firmation was for four years AMI Mr..
BreidenthaPs commission for Office reads
''fo- four years" Upon these grounds Mr..
Breidenthal will resist giving up the Office
to anyone the governor might name.
Attorney General Dawes stated that Mr..
Breidenthal was simply mistaken and that
there no doubt that he will be compelled
to give up the place when Governor Morrill,
names the man he wants to fill the position.
The officers in the bank commissioner s
office are giving themselves no concern
about the matter and al seem confident
that they will be able TO hold the place.

An Eight-Hour-Law Not Valid.


There has been filed in the Office of the
clerk of the supreme court of Illinois an
opinion in the case of William Richie ver-
sus the people, error from Cook county
courts. This was suit to test the constitu-
tionality of what was known as the sweat
shop or eight-hour law, executed by the
general assem- bly, of 1893.
The constitutionality of the entire act was
attacked, but the supreme court holds that
section is void, viz:
Section 5. No female shall be employed
in any factory workshop more than eight
hours in one day, or forty-eight hours in
any one week.
The court holds that a woman has the
same rights man to make contracts and
that it Is an infringement upon her rights
guaranteed by the constitution to say that
she cannot work as many hours in the day
as she may be inclined to. The court adds
that this opinion is not to imply that section
5 would be invalid if it was limited to females
who are minors.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 16.-With two
sach incidents as the New Orleans and Wal
senburg, COL, troubles facing them and
such affairs as the Rock Creek Springs mas
sacre of Chinese and the killing of Italians
in New Orleans in the background, the state
de partment officials make no secret of their
apprehension that the United States liz des-
tined to have serious difficulty in maintain
ing its treaty relations with foreign nations
unless congress comes to the rescue. AS 1t
stands now, owing to the limitations placed
uponthe exercise of federal power by statute,
the government finds itself powerless to
protect foreign citizens whom the United
States is under solemn treaty obligations to
protect.
Under our peculiar conditions. the ma
tional government can only look to the state
to extend protection, and if this is denied,
or the measure Of protection is inadequate,
it cannot interfere. Mean while, the state
itself is wholly free from any responsibility
to the foreign powers with which the United
States has entered into treaty relations, and
the powers are prohibited from even remon-
strating with the offending state govern
ment; they can look for redress only to the
helpless national government. So it is
within the power of any cratic governor, or
weak mayor, or even an incompetent chief
of police in any city, to force an issue that
can be decided only by war, and the fate of
the whole nation may depend on the con-
duct of such officials. This matter was
brought to the attention of congress by
President Harrison at the instance of the
late Secretary Blaine after the adjustment
of the trouble that threatened war with Italy
as the result of the killing of the Italians IN
New Orleans, but no action was taken to
carry out the suggestion, probably owing to
the fact that the necessary legislation might
be regarded an infring ement upon the
old states rights theory.

CordwaInera Strike.

LONDON. March 19.-The great lockout of
bootmakers. affecting 100000 operatives,
has commenced.
Owing to complicated dispute concern.
ing the use of improved machinery and
other matters, the mem bers of the national
federation of bootmakers, on March 8, mott
fed the operatives to stop work.
The employers, however, refused to arbi-
trate the questions in dispute, claiming that
the operatives did not accept previous deci-
sions of the arbitrators. One of the results
of this notice was that on the following day
the Shoe Operativ union called out all the
operatives who were not obliged to give a
weeks notice, and 10000 operatives left
work that day.
1t has been stated here that it is question
not of fair dealing between capital and
labor, but of whether English boot and shoe
making can bs carried on in the face of
American competition. In this connection
it has been stated by the employers that
even if the American operatives get twice
the wages paid in England, they can turn
out cheaper shoes, owing to their more in
telligent use of mach inery.
The men locked out in England are said
to have fund of $1,000 with which to see
them through the first month of the lockout.
But it is estimated the trouble will cost the
Leicester district alone at least 81, 00O,O 900 in
wages.
