SUFFERING IN KANSAS.
COalminers in "a DeplOrabIe Condition
Owing to Enforced Idleness.

Coalminers in DeplorabIe Condition
Owing to Enforced Idleness.
Topeka, May 16.-State Labor Com
missioner Byrne has just returned from
Scranton, Usage county, where he had
been sent to investigate reports of suf-
fering among the coal miners on ac-
count of enforced idleness. He declares
that the condition of some of the men
and their families is deplorable. Of
the 400 miners in and about Scranton,
200 have had no work for six weeks to
two months, and the others getting
from SO to $40 week. The cause of
it all is, of course, lack of demand for
coal. The idle men have tried to get
work on farms or in other vocations,
but the labor market is overstock, and
they finally appealed to the governor.
Governor Morrill, has laid the matter
before Receiver Joseph G. Wilson, of
the Santa Fe, in the hope that the COM
pany may do something for the men.
About the same condition exists at
Peterson and other places in Usage
county.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 16.-Governor
Altgeld today vetoed the Miller bill re-
quiring corporations to procure the con-
sent of majority of property owners
in each block of city before gas mains,
electric light wires, street railway
tracks, etc., can be laid. The governor
also vetoed Crawford's bill to prevent
elevated or street railways from cross
ing at grades and to prevent parallel
lines from consolidating. The vetoes
were wildly applauded. Speaking of
the bills as whole, the governor gives
his reason for vetoing them as follows:
Because their effect would increase
the riches of some men at the expense
of others by legislation; because they
would shackle great city. 1 love
Chicago and am not willing to help
forge chain which would bind her
hand and foot for all time to the wheels
of monopoly and leave her no chance of
escaping"

The Situation Has Changed.

New York, May ia special to
the World from Santiago de Cuba says:
The whole situation in Cuba has
changed. There is continual exodus
of white Cubans from Santiago now,
whereas up to a week ago the reports OF
numerous departures for the field were
incorrect. Nearly 100 members of the
Fial Armonica and San Carlos Clubs
have gone into the country. The gov
ernment of the islands is alarmed, but
decided as to the expediency of sending
to Spain for more troops. General Sal
cedo thinks it is useless to bring over
any more raw, unclimated levies until
the season changes.
1t is proposed to call out those Span.
ish ex-soldiers who have served their
time in the army, being given. dis.
charge papers and enlisting in Cuba.
Several thousand men can be obtained
in this manner. General Maceo has
nearly 5000 men at Barnabacoa plan.
tation, two leagues form Songo. All
the Spanish troops at the latter place
were sent to San Luis, which was
threatened with raid. One thousand
Spanish soldiers left San Luis last night
for General Maceo. They went in the
direction of Palma.

THE EFFORT OF HIS LIFE.
Gresham Saving Himself for the vene-
zuelan Dispute.

Gresham Saving Himself for the Vene-
zuelan Dispute.
Washington, May 14.-It is now
thought that Secretary Gresham is saw
ing himself for the great effort of his
life, which will be the settlement of
the Venezuelan boundary dispute,
wherein England has made claim for
a large slice of the territory of that re-
public, which is nearly as defenseless
against British aggression as Nicara-
qua 1t is reported that he has made
a great study of the question and has
become more familiar with all the facts
than any previous secretary of state.
This may be true. The friends of
Gresham say knowingly that the secre-
tary will retrieve the entire foreign
policy of the administration by pre-.
venting England from extending its
boundary line, and acquiring territory
which it does not possess, and to which
it has no claim save its bare assertion.
Perhaps in the next two years, the Sec
rotary of state may do all his friends
claim for him, but it is not such sure
thing that the president will allow him
to do so.

The Alien Contract Law.

San Francisco, May 15.-Among the
passengers on the City of Peking, which
arrived from the Orient Sunday, were
112 Japanese coolies. While the COM
missioner of immigration is of the
opinion that the japanese came to this
country under contract, the fact cannot
be established and the whole party will
probably be permitted to land. Thir-
ty-six were allowed to come ashore to-
day. The japanese assert that they
came to California to seek employment
in the country picking fruit.

IMPERIAL TAXATION.

feated in the Reichstag.
Berlin, May 15.-The government
met with another defeat today. The
reichstag rejected the whole proposed
tobacco tax bill. During the debate
which proceeded the vote on the bill,
the spokesman of all parties, except the
conservatives, opposed the bill, insisting
strongly against any further disturb
ance of the tobacco industry. Count
Won Kardoff, alone, advocated higher
duty, which he said was certain to be
voted by the reichstag. In his opinion
the present house was incapable of tax
ing any position or action. Count
Posadowsky, secretary of the imperial
treasury, defended the principle of the
bill as being the sole practical path to
reform in imperial taxation. The
reichstag, he added, was preparing a
common grave for all the government
measures, but it was to be hoped that
much needed reform in the taxation of
the empire would be secured The
vote on the bill was taken by the men,
bers rising in their places. Only few
conservatives and national liberals sup
ported the measure.

suit for damages by Theodore Durrant
who was recently held for trial on

committed by anyone connected with
the church, and that neither crime was
the work of one man.

TWO DREADED DISEASES.

Cholera in Egypt.
Washington, May 15.-According to
the advices received by the marine hos
pital service, smallpox is epidemic in
severe form at Minas Prietas, Mexico.
Inspector Chenoweth, in a report to
Sergeant General Wyman, says:
General vaccination and isolation
is practiced here and in other towns in
Southern Arizona, where sporadic cases
of smallpox have recently occurred.
All north bound trains, stages and
other conveyances from Nogales, carry
ing passengers, are inspected, baggage
fumigated and passengers required to
be vaccinated. The principal source of
danger is Minas Prietas, as the camp is
located fifteen miles from the Sonora
railroad, and an immense amount of
business is transacted by the company
in the United States. Passengers pass
to and fro daily. No precautions are
taken there against the spread of the
disease
