PITTSBURG, July 31.-At midnight
it looked as though the sheriff's proc
lamation would be the biggest factor
in bringing about trouble in the vi
cinity Of the De Armitt mines. A
meeting Of strikers was held at Oak
Hills, and it was decided to pay no
attention to the sheriff's proclamation,
as it was considered to be an out
rage. At the meeting it is reported
that President Dolan, M. P. Carck and
other leaders told the men that the
ma ndate of the shelf was unjust and
could not be enforced. The result Of
the meeting was that three meetings
were arranged for, one at midnight,
one at 2 a. M, and another at 4 a.
M. and the men are now marching
through the Turtle Creek region in
three divisions to reach their meet
ing places. The different times were
chosen for the meetings as the best
time to catch the working miners
when changing shifts. Excitement is
running high, and If the night passes
without conflict between the strik-
ers and deputies it will be considered
a miracle.

Timber We Must have,

1t is source of cOngratuldtiOn to
The Times that the action of its editor
in securing the passage of the State
Forestry bill, ten years ago this winter,
has been approved by the present legis-
lature. The act creating a State Irrl-
cation commission has been repealed
and to the duties of commissioner of
forestry has been added the work of
experimenting irrigation matters
Thus is the sense of the people
voiced that we must have timber. The
legislature erred. however,.in not in
creasing the salary of the forestry
commissioner to 81 800, istead of to
5000. The legislature which number
of years ago reduced the salary from
81 200 to 5000 did not know what it
was doing. Ten years from their
establishment having elapsed, the real
estate and buildings of the forestry
station now become the property of
the state. This is feature of the
original forestry act. Kansas is the
only state in the Union which has an
elaborate forestry system.-Downs

The Situation Deemed Too Critical
for a Change in the Office of Con-
sui General ut Present-Will Re-
turn to the Island Next Month.
Lee Confers with Mckinley.

Lee COnferS with Mckinley.
Gen. Lee, consul general to Cuba, had a
long consultation with the president Sat
urday by special appointment. All Wis
itors were excluded except Secretary AL
ger. Lee carefully reviewed the situation
in Cuba, explained at length all the
points upon which either the president or
the secretary asked information. Lee
gave his own views very freely to the
president, but after the interview was very
reticent about the nature Of the report
made.
1t is evident, however, that the president
is deeply impressed with the critical
character of the situation as described by
Gen. Lee, as it is understood he strongly
urged Lee to retain the office at least for
the present and return to Havana at his
earliest convenience. AS it has been
strongly intimated for several months that
EX-COngreSsman Aldrich would succeed
Lee and that the latter would probably
not return, the presidents action is con-
strued to mean that he thinks it inadvis-
able to make a change at this juncture.
Lee will return to Cuba as soon as he
has arranged his private affairs, probably
about the middle of October.

Postmaster General Gary has received

Albert G.. CrehOre a report Of their recent
experiments with their synchrOnomagraph
system of rapidly transmitting intelligence
by the alternating current upon the lines
of the British postal system, for which
they recently went to England. On
August 8 messages were sent over a copper
and iron wire from London via Leeds to
Glasgow and Edinburg, and return via
Newcastle, Tyne and York to London.
The distance was S64 miles, forty-four Of
which were under ground. 1t was found
that slightly under 1900 words a minute
could be sent, and the speed might have
been increased.
The postmaster general replied to their
letter extending his congratulations on the
success which attended their experiments,
and stating that he would be pleased to
hear further regarding them.
At the last session of congress Senator
Pettigrew introduced a bill authorizing
the postmaster general to acquire pos

Alleged Misrepresentation OF River
and Harbor Funds.
The wal department has just started an
investigation of what promises to be the
biggest sensation that ever developed in
connection with that branch OF the govern
ment service. 1t involves the mis-
appropriation, according to the reports,
of hundreds of thousands of dollars ap-
propriated by congress for the improve
ment of the Savannah River in Georgia,
and, possibly, the misrepresentation of
funds for other large improvements in the
same district. The officer in charge of
this work, Capt. Carter of the engineering
corps, was recently appointed the army
member of the Nicaragua canal commits
sion, and he was made the subject of
several pages of a laudatory notice in the
current number of the Review of Reviews.
According to the charges against this
officer he has been guilty of %misappropri-
ating the money provided for the improve
ment of the Savannah E.iver and a
thorough investigation is to be made. The
facts in the case were brought out by his
successor in charge of the work, who, as
soon as he discovered how matters had
been proceeding, demanded a prompt and
searching investigation.
