Taken in the aggregate, trade continues to be
quite satisfactory In some lines which have

A GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Calls Attention to the Condition of
Affairs at Leavenworth.

The following message in reference to
the penitentiary coal contract was sent
to the senate this morning by Governor
Leedy:
To the Legislature:
I again desire to call your attention
to the state of affairs al the state peni-
tentiary The coatract under the
law is not taking the coal according to
his contract, and there is now about
5000 of demurrage charged up against
loaded cars. The directors would have
no difficulty in disposing of this coal if
they were not hampered by the cOndi-
tions of the law of 1891, which pre-
vents them from selling this coal in the
open markets. There seems to be an
effort on the part of interested parties
to reduce, If not stop, the output of the
mines at Lansing. If this is accomp-
lished, it will mean a loss of revenue to
the state of at least 100000 before the
legislature meets again L would sug-
gest that so much of the law of 1891, at
least, as compels the directors to dis
pose of this coal through the medium
of a contractor, should be repealed so
that they might be free handed to deal
with the matter as best they can. At
the present time they are compelled
largely to consult the interests of the
contractor, as to the amount of coal
that should be produced.
hope that you will not adjourn with
out taking some action in regard to this
matter. Very respectfully.
]. w. LEEDY,
Governor
Immediately after the reading of the
message, Senator Ryan, chairman of
