KANSAS CROPS BURNING UP.
Intense Heat Drives Harvesters Frou
Their work-Laborers scarce.


KANSAS CITY. Mo-, July 3.-Reports
from central Kansas indicate that hot
winds prevailing i'm that section are caus-
ing serious damage to crops. Particularly
gloomy reports come from Larned ana
Great Bend. In that section of the state
harvest hands were driven from the fields
being unable to cut or stack the grain and
the corn crop, il is reported, has been
scorched beyond recovery.
Reports from the western and central
part of the state generally indicate that
CT ops are greatly in need of rain. Hutch
inson, Sterling, Pratt, Wellington and 9TH
er points report hot winds, and state that
rain Is greatly needed, but these reports
state that the corn crop is not yet damaged
beyond recovery, provided rain falls within
a day so.
From all over southwestern and central
Kansas there is also reported scarcity of
harvest help, and IL is stated that the
farmers are losing heavily through inabili-
ty to gather their wheat At many of the
railroad stations farmers await incoming
trains, hoping to find men. AT many points
rsmps are refusing offers at $3.50 a day.

SITUATION IN OHIO.
Hooking Valley Operators Favor the
Nlne-Cent DinerentiaI


COLUMBUS, Ohio, july 3-Tbe eenaro,
Hooking Coal Company expected a rush of
orders from the railroads as soon as tho
strike was ordered, or before, but 1t failed
to develop, which would Seem to Indicate
that great deal of coal Is In stock.
There will be no trouble so far as the
mines in this pool are concerned. Everv-
thing will be shut down and a friendly
FEELING maintained. All Hooking Valley
operators would be only too glad to paw
their miners 90 cents If Pittsburg miners
can secure % cents. This cents differ
entail" said an official Of this COMPANY
must be maintained. There are TWENTY
six mines in the General Hooking Coal
company. Some of them are the largest
IN the state. They include the Morris Coal
company. New Pittsburg, Hooking Valley,
Somers. Greendale. Raybould c. L. Poston
Lost Run, Stalter, Maple Hill and other
companies. Horses. men, implements ey-
erythlng Is closed for good until next jan

sympathies of these companies.
Thinks the Strike Unvvfse,
Frank M Brooks Is secretary of the Ohio
Coal Operators Association. This asso-
ciaticn deals directly with miners in all
disputes. Mr.. Brooks believes the strike
Is unwise on the part of the Ohio miners.
In the first place. in his judgment it will
let West Virginia coal into Ohio and make
1t difficult for Ohio to regain its old trade.
Mr.. Brooks does not believe the miners
can win the strike for 60 cents in this state
He said the fight had better been con-
fined to the Pittsburg district, where the
cut below the old 6O-cent scale was made
and where they do not want to pay the new
or proposed 68-cent scale
Mr.. Brooks and all Ohio operators are
firm for the 9-cent dirrerential

PHILIPSBURG. Pa, July 3.-The strike

portions of which several hundred miners

Should the operators in the towns named

Operators in this vicinity express the
opinion that the general strike in the west

More Disquieting News From Chit

MILITARY DISPLAY ADVOCATED
Powers May Have to coerce Tur-

WAR MAY BE RES U NJ ED

CALCUTTA, July 3.-The news from
Chitpore is again disquieting. Hundreds or
MChammedans are congregatlnS to pray
in the mosque, where the original dispute
arose that led to the disturbances of We'd
nesday and Thursday. The rioting grew
out of the practice Of Mohammedans of
Selling and refusing to pay rent for certain
so-calleG mosques built contrary TO the
tenets of the Mohammedan religion, on
ground belonging to infidels. The demoli-
ton of a mud house. ere of the so-called
n osques, led to the outbreak.
Sent for Reinforcements.
The Mohammedans sent to the country
districts for reinforcements, appealing to
all true Mohammedans to come to the aid
of their eo-religionists, and conflicts with
the police and military ensued. Europeans
were assaulted wherever found. all tele-
graphic communication YVES cut OF, build
iEgS containing Europeans were besteged
and owing to the absence of the higher
officials at Simla, a lerS time elapsed be-
fore the local forces were allowed to fire
on the rioters. Eventually a compromise
was agreed upon. based on the uncondi-
tonal surrender of the land to the Moham-
medans; but it is believed that this con-
cession will form dangerous precedent
and that the rioters will celebrate their
victory through India. The slightest inter-
ference will cause trouble tc break out
again.
Favor a Military Display.
There is a strong feeling in favor of max
ing an imposing display of military force
and it is suggested that the authorities
should parade all the troops of the neigh
borhood through the disaffected centers.

Mohammedans to calm down before yield
ing. The powers. however, remain united
and are apparently determined not to
yield anything but a strategic rectifcation
of the frontier
The question most discussed in political
circles is whether, in the event of the
contumacy of Turkey the powers will pro-
coed to coerce that nation. 1t is not be-
lieved they could be brought to act in uni
son on this point. The prevalent opinion,
however, is that the sultan will finally
yield.

MEXICAN FINANCIAL CRISIS
Mexican Exchange in New York Has
Reached %1.45 Premium, and Many
Merchants will BE Obliged to
90 Out Of Rusiness-Greatest
Depreciation of Silver
Ever Known.

New York, Aug. 20.--A dispatch to the
Herald from Mexico City says: Exchange
on New York has reached 81 45 premium.
In other words, it takes $245 Mexican
money to buy one American dollar, con-
tanning less silver than the Mexican dol
lar. Merchants are cancellinR all orders
for imports, and many will close their
stores.
Meanwhile, home manufactures are
booming, as the depreciation of silver
makes high tariff wall. Planters are
prosperous as they sell abroad for gold
and pay their laborers in silver. The
Mexican dollar bnys as much as it ever
did, except of the imported variety of
goods.
Presiden Diaz may refund the per
cent debt, paying per cent interest here
after. Capitalists are focking into the
country to take advantage Of the high
premium and invest their gold.
Bankers here say that handful of men
in London are manipulating the money
of the world, controlling prices, ETC., and
that it is the old fight of monarchy
against society.
