today that the attorneys for Majors, the
Kansas City bidder whose contract for
the surplus output of the penitentiary
coal was abrogated by the board of di-
rectors the other day, are preparing to
bring suit against the state of Kansas for
heavy damages. The suit will probably
be for 100000 The papers in the case
are now in course of preparation. Sew
eral citizens of Lansing are inclined to
the opinion that if Majors pushes his
suit he will most likely get judgment
against the state.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and stoo k
Exchange. Room 8. Columbian Building.
Wheat had a bad break early with
Pardrige the principal seller. He has
not been at all active in the market for
some time until today, but is said to have
raised 100000 cash and started in for
another bear campaign. He had a
good deal of company today in his selling
operations. Nearly everybody seemed
to feel that the long expected break was
coming. The Thoman crop report, show
ing decline of 10 per cent in the cOndi-
ton of winter wheat during May,
was given out early and given a
bearish construction. One remark he
made was apparently overlooked
namely. that if weather conditions
should continue as damaging for ten
out the winter wheat crop where half
crop was indicated at time report was
compiled, about May 81. Since
then there has been week
of severest weather on the crop
for all states east of the Mississippi river
which has probably cut down the out
look largely.
Corn and oats were very heavy early,
but recovered portion of the decline in
them much benefit while there is
yet time to make very large
crop of corn and fair one
of oats 1t will doubtless be a weather
market for a time, but a continued adj
vance in wheat will probably strengthen
corn and oats to some extent

MINERS MAY ARBITRATE.
Leavenworth Men Will Strike and Ask Ar
bitratiOn.


LEAvENwoRTH, June 3.-Not pick
was in motion at the Home coal mine
Saturday, and the indications are that no
more coal will be mined there for few
days at least. Saturday was the day the
reduced price for mining went into effect;
also the cut made in the wages of the
company men," The differences exist
ing between the men and the operators
have not been adjusted, and pending a
satisfactory settlement no coal is to be
hoisted. There is at present every indi-
cation of q strike.
The miners at their meeting, SO one
who was there stated, decided almost
unanimously not to return to work for
less than 80 cents ton. the old price,
and BIZ weekly pay. The company men"
it was also stated. are standing alongside
of the miners and will not work for the
wages offered under the cut.
1t was the further sense of the meet
ing that in case the company refuses to
pay the old schedule committee con-
sisting of three miners and three business
men, these to choose q seventh man, is to
be selected to arbitrate the differences.

POSTMASTERS' DAY,
The Exposition People to Set Apart a
Date for n Convention.

The Exposition People to Set Apart a
Date for n Convention.
AS everybody is having his day at the At
lanta exposition, the authorities have
thought there might be something in setting
apart day for postmasters. There is on ex-
hibition in the government building probably
the finest aggregation of postal devices of
all sorts, and complete exposition of the
entire mail service of the United States. In
addition. there are large exhibits of curious,
peculiar and historical articles, illustrative
of the origin and development of the SER
vice in this country. To the average post
master this exhibition would seem like
liberal education. Monday the Postmas-
ter General received a letter from w. G.
Cooper, chief of the department of publicity
and promotion at the exposition, asking his
opinion upon the proposition. The Post
master General replied at once that it met
with his hearty approval AS the letter
carriers are to have their day ut the fair, it
would be no less important that the post
masters Of the country should assemble
there for a conference upon the needs of
the service and opportunities for improve
ment. Mr. Wilson said that while he should
enjoy being present at this meeting of post
masters, it would be impossible as he was
going with :he Presidents party to visit
Atlanta, and could not spare time to go
there twice at this season. With the ap-
proval of the Postmaster General, the au-
thorities of the exposition will no doubt 90
on and provide for a national convention
of postmasters to take place some time
during the month Of November.

cuty, IT, remembering thAt ouR free institu-
tions were established to promote the gen.
eral welfare, we strive for those things
which benefit all our people, and each of US
is content to receive from a common fuEd
his share of the prosperity thus contrib
uted. We shall miss our duty and forfeit
our heritage If, In a narrow selfshness,
needless of general welfare we struggle to
wrest from the government private advan-
tages which can only be gained at the ex-
perse of our fellow coun trymen.
The Lesson Of the Hedr.
II hope I may therefore be permitted in
conclusion, to suggest. as q most important
les son taught by this occasion. the abso-
lutte necessity to our national health and
welfare and consequently to our individual
happiness as citizens Of q careful discrim-
IL alton, in our support of politics and in
our advocacy Of political doctrines between
those which prompt the promotion of the
public welfare and those which simply seem
to serve selfish or sectional interests.
IF we are to enjoy the blessings our gov
ernment was framed to fairly and justly
testow we shall secure them in due time by
cultivating a spirit of broad American
brotherhood and insisting upon such con-
duct will. within the spirit of the golden
RI lie, promote the general welfare"

THE EUROPEAN SQUADRON.
Transfer of Commanders to Be Mad

Transfer of Comma nders to Be Made
Mt Marseflles, France.
cable message was received at the
Navy Department today from Rear Ad-
miral Kirkland, commanding the European
squadron, announcing his arrival, on the
flagship San Francisco, at Algiers this
morning. He will be instructed by cable to
regulate his future movements SO that the
San Francisco shall be at Marseilles upon
the arrival there Of Commodore ]. r. Sell
fridge. who will leave New York on the
I'd proximo for that port for the purpose of
relieving Admiral Kirkland Of command of
the European squadron. The transfer of
command will, therefore, take place on the
San Francisco. in the harbor of Marseilles,
instead of at Algiers, as at first intended.
Naval officers generally are of opinion that
Admiral Kirkland will not accept the sug-
gestion that he apply for retirement, for
the reason that he would lose rather than
gain by such a step. By remaining on the
active list little over a year longer he
will gain the honor of being the ranking
officer of the navy, the crowning ambition
of an officers life, whereas If he retires
low he will be relegated to comparative
obscurity, with corresponding loss of pay
An officer at the Navy Department, who
recently served under Admiral Kirkland
says he recently said that under no cir
cumstances would he go on the retired list
before he reached the statutory retiring
age OF Sixty-fOur years.

Sixteen Out of Twenty-Five Enlisted
Men Passed Succcssfully.
Twenty-Five enlisted men were recently
examined at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, for
appointment as second lieutenants in the
army Sixteen of the nunfser passed the
ordeal successfully. Their chances of
speedy appointment are not particularly
bright, inasmuch as there are but two
Vacancies in the list Of second lieutenants
at the present time.
Among the successful candidates were
Privates Anderson of the sixth cavalry
and Merchant of the first cavalry. The
other fourteen were First Sergeant Syden-
ham, Quartermaster Sergeant Ryder and
Sergeants Creary, Cocnrane and Munson
of the infantry, Corporals French. Al
len and Drips of the cavalry and Corporals
Rethers. Hartman, Thurman, Shaw, Si-
monds and Sievert of the infantry. The
preponderance of non-commssioned officers
among the candidates is due to the fact
that a service of at least two years Is re-
quired of those taking the examination,
during which interval capable soldiers have
good chance Of promotion in the ranks.

CT tarles McManus was killed, James H. p
Reed Was fatally injured, and four others
were seriously hurt by an explosion in the
dry and mixing room of the FibreIoid works
on waite" street today.
The explosion is thought to have been

tity of celluloid in process of prepa ra ton
for the manufacture of collars and cuffs.

throughout the city. McManus was dead
when found; the others were removed to a

THE VENEZUELAN SITUATION
8 enator Oullom on the Policy This Country
Should Take and Maintain.
He Expects the Matter to Come Before
l. Congress in Some Shape
This Winter.

Senator Cullom, who has been in Wash
fngton for a week or SO. expects to return
to Illinois this evening. There has been
some talk of his taking the stump in Ohio.
but 1t is not likely that he will find the
time to make any political speeches this
fall. A Star reporter asked Senator Cullom
today for an opinion concerning the Vene-
zuelan situation. II do not know enough
about what has been done and what is in
contemplation to enable me to form very
definite opinion as to what this country
should do. I think however, that we are
big enough and strong enough and intel
ligent enough to know what we want, take
a proper position and maintain it in the
face of everybody. 1 don't believe in jingo-
ism or demagogy in any form. If 1 were
representing this country In England I
should take a position, and then l should
maintain 1t against all the bluffs, wheed-
ling. diplomacy or sharp practice that Lord
Salisbury could invent. We don't need to
go around looking for trouble, but there
ought to be no doubt in our own minds as
being the case. we should not leave any
other country in doubt when the occasion
arises for us to declare our policy"
DO you think the matter is likely to re-
Ceive the attention of Congress?'
Will Come Before Congress.
From the attention the matter is
receiving from the public, and the way
things seem to be drifting, 1 take it for
granted that the question will come before
Congress in some form; just what form
depends upon the situation at the time.
There is no question about the sentiment
in Congress being in favor of the uphold
ing of the Monroe doctrine. 1t is a
right doctrine and should be upheld.
1 presume the doctrine will be declared
in some more or less formal manner by
Congress. and If the situation demands
that anything be done to enforce its OBJ
servanee. Congress, think, can be re-
lied upon to act promptly. Great Britain
does not seem to care very much for our
opinion or our wishes and we must main
tain our own dignity and uphold our own
rights 1t looks as If mcst of the foreign
powers had begun to feel that the United
States Is getting too powerful to maintain
the Old attitude of Indifference toward the
affairs of tie world. and as IL they saw
in our increasing strength some imagined
danger to themselves They seem to be
bridling up and displaying disposition to
press us back, forestalling any possible
aggressiveness on our part"
A Short Session Predicted.
Speaking of the next Congress, Senator
Cullom expressed the opinion that the
session would be short: that there was
very little prospect of financial legislation,
and that the administration would have to
accept such provision for Increased reve-
nue. as the republican Congress would be
willing to give, or else have no relief at
all. He did not think that the adminstra-
ton could ask Congress for more revenue
and then compel them to provide 1t In
just such manner as might conform to Mr..
Cleveland's ideas.

NAVY YARD WORK.
Cant. Sampson Says The Stars State.
merf VIVA AhsalutelY CaEEect

Capt. Sampson, chief of the naval bureau
of ordnance, who has direct supervision
over the affairs Of the Washington navy
yard, today reiterated the statement that it
was not true that the work of the yard had
been increased SO as to necessitate the
working of extra shifts at night. He said
that the statement in yesterdays Star was
absolutely correct, but added that it was
possible that the commandant Of the yard
had found it necessary to keep a few men
at work after the regular hours in order to
complete some work that could not be
neglected. Such work, however, was of a
purely routine character, and 1t was entirely
within the discretion of the commandant of
the yard to have it done. For that reason
he would not venture to contradict the re-
port that four mechanics were at work at
the yard last night.

RUMoR DIsCREDITED.
1t Is Not Believed That Secretary
Olney Intends to Resign.

The published intimation that Secretary
Olney intends to resign because he has not
been supported by the President in his for
eign policy is wholly discredited here, and
persons close to the Secretary insist that
the relations between rim and the Presi-
dent are of the most cordial and intimate
nature and have been such since Mr.. Olney
assumed the administration of the State
Department. His visit to Boston is said to
have been required by pressing private
business, and he was enabled to plead an
excuse for his absence from the Atlanta
party on the ground that he would be
expected to accompany a number of diplo-
mats from Washington to Atlanta later on,
to be present there on diplomatic day.
