OTHER STATE NEWS.

HIAwATHA, June 12.-The movement
which brought a colony of Pullman
workmen to Hiawatha is about to end in
dismal failure. The big things that they
were going to do and were going to be
done for them have not materalized and
many of the families are perhaps in as
bad condition as if they had remained
at Pullman. Some of them at least feel
this way about it for they want to return
to their old homes.
The county board appropriated $50 to
pay the railroad expenses of sending the
Newman family to their old home in
Chicago. Newman having been laid up
with rhematism for several months, his
family is destitute and homesick for
their old home in Chicago. Mayor
Buckles considered it to be as we'll to
send them home as support them here.
Another Pullman family which has
been living in the same house with the
Newmans; west of the Catholic church,
wishes to be sent back, too, being poor
and homesick: but as the head of the
house is able-bodied, he will not be given
the support.

CLEVELAND, O., June 12.-It now
seems probable that there will be war
to the knife in the coke regions. Mr.W.
J. Rainey of this city, the largest coke
operator in the country, has defeated the
efforts of the coke operators to combine
for the purpose of advancing prices.
In an interview Mr.. Rainey says: Eyes,
it is true that have refused to join the
syndicate whose object is to raise prices
"In the first place do not believe in
syndicates. l believe in every one stand
ing on his own foundation. I am op-
posed to the workingmen combining for
the purpose of defeating the operators
and am likewise opposed to the operators
combining for the purpose of defeating
the men and ia advance prices. am a
firm believer in fair competition
"Will your decision prevent the other
operators from forming such a combina-
ton and will your action defeat the OBJ
jects Of the proposed syndicate"

The bugs are now young and more

the fields and when the bugs have al
