FEW LEAVING KANSAS.
Assistant superintendent TurnerTells
Why Kansas People are Satisfied.

Denver, July 2S.-Assistant General
Superintendent Turner of the Santa Fe
road, with headquarters in Chicago, was
in the city yesterday in company with
superintendent Dyer and officers of the
transportation department. Mr.. Tur-
ner spoke in glowing terms of the con-
ditions along the line of the railway.
THE quality of the Kansas wheat"
said he, lis of the very best and in
quantity it is second only to the crop
of 1892
In 1892 the crop was estimated at
100000 bushels, and nobody places the
crop this year at less than sc, 900. 900
bushels. We have had fair crops in
Kansas for two years and the old corn
left over in addition TO the corn raised
this year will place the farmers in the
best position they have known in Kan
sas. There are more cattle in the
state than ever before, and people seem
to be better contented than for years.
One feature that is regarded as a good
sign is that no emigration is going out
of the state. Some people are coming
in, but nobody is going out. This is
good sign. The time has come when
the farmers do not put all of their eggs
into one basket The result is that they
adapt themselves to- changed condi-
lions"

BIG FIRE AT YONKERS.
Hat and Silk Works Burn Entailing a
Loss of Half Million.

New York July. .28-Fire at Yonkers,
n. Y, yesterday afternoon destroyed
two large factory buildings occupied
by W. A. Reed & Co., hat manufac-
turers; Rowland Bros, hat manufac-
turers; Pass Bros, silk manufacturers,
and the Yonkers Silk company. The
loss will probably reach half million
dollars and 500 people are thrown out
of work.
When the alarm was given there were
six hundred men and girls in the build
ing, the third, fourth and fifth floors of
which were occupied by the silk fac
tories. Intense excitement prevailed,
while the employees left the building by
the fire escapes, the girls being taken
out and all losing their street clothes,
so little time was given.

Chicago, July 2S.-Two rival lines of
steamboats, plying between Chicago and
Manhattan Beach, not only carried pas
senger freight over the 1s-mile round-trip
course, but gave them beer. cigars and
sandwiches without limit, furnished
bathing suits at the beach, and provided
rooms in which the bathers could make
their toilets.
The 25-cent rate previously agreed upon
was cut yesterday morning by Manager
Powers to 15 cents. Last night Manager
Newman announced that he would carry
passengers to the beach and back for 1
cent. So great was the crowd this morn
ing that the promoters of the Newman
line contemplated restoring the original
fare, when the Chief Justice Waite, with
streams of smoke pouring from her
smokestacks and six tugs in tandem fash

ed out of the harbor and headed for the
Van Buren street pier. High up on the
hurricane deck and resembling a mainsan

TOPSHAM.

On the beautiful moonlight evening
of March 18th several of the ladies of
the Relief Corps and a few friends met
with Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Leet at their
home and gave her very pleasant sur
prise. Just before the refreshments
was served Mrs. Nettie E. Dickey pre-
sented with some very appropriate re-
marks to Mrs. Leet, a fine silver cake
basket as present from the members
OF the Corps to which Mrs. Leet re-
sponded, expressing her thanks and
gratitude in very pleasing manner:
At about eleven o'clock a bountiful
supper of cake and coffee was served
and was heartily enjoyed by all. The
guests were highly entertained by Mr..
Ieet and family and the evening was
very pleasantly passed with games and
music. About midnight the party
broke up and all went home feeling
that they had passed very pleasant
evening, and the ride on big sled be-
hind a pair of spirited horses, with
Harry Eastman as driver, was enjoyed
by all. The members of the Corps
who were unable to attend missed a
very pleasant time. The members of
the Corps are few but its work is great
1t has been estimated that during the
last year the Relief Corps has given
away more money i'll presents and for

A Northumbrian woman,s Diet.

A Northumbrian woman whose work
lay in the fields, who came of big race
and allayed her own hearty appetite
with oatmeal porridge and milk, was
naturally buxom and blowsy, and had a
gait and manner that belonged to her
vocation. You could not expect much
delicacy or refinement there. Yet many
of these big, strong, awkward women
had simple kindness and affectionate-
ness that belonged, equally with theil
faults, to an unsophisticated nature. ]
speak of the old style-change has been
proceeding rapidly during the last dec
ade or two The. gangs of women now
to be seen are paler in color, more stunted
in size, and, am told by those whd
employ them, less capable workers than
their predecessors. And this, by kind
of paradox, is an effect of better times
1t is to large extent due to diet Since
wheat has fallen so much in price -four
has supplanted oatmeal, and milk has
been ousted by cheap tea. The new
food may be more genteel, but it is not
so nourishing as the old.-Longman's

" AoHlNG1uA AAnS.
Extra Session of Congress Is
Now Well Under Way.
May Continue Well Into the Summer.
Some New England Appointments Made
and to BE Made. eaS
From Our Correspondent.


From Our Correspondent. 7rt re.
The extra session of the aF'iftyafifth
congress is well under " ~, and it prom
ises to prolong its existence far into the
summer. The plan of the Republican
leaders is very simple, and as follows.
They propose simply to enact remedial
tariff legislation, then pass the four
regular appropriation bills which failed
in the closing hours of the last congress,
and adjourn.
The new tariff bill is already drawn up,
has been referred to the ways and means
committee, and by that committee has
been reported back to the house, which
body is now debating it. Inc plans as
at present constituted provide that de-
bate shall close on March II, vote
taken and the bill hurried to the senate,
where the hitch will come on it's enact
ment, if any is to come.
The bill will pass the house substan-
TALLY as it came from the committee.
The idea is to permit no amendments to
be adopted in theh house, allowing the re-
sponsibility of altering it's purpose to fall
upon the senate. 1t will be remembered
that in the present tariff law, the upper
branch amended the bill so much that
instead of being called the Wilson bill,
as it originally was named in the house,
after it had emanated from the senate,
with it's identification almost beyond
hope, it was known as the Wilson-Gor-
man act Senator German having had
much to do with the changes affected by
the senate.
The bill will probably require two
months debate in the senate. While
that is going on, the house will doubt
less take up the four appropriation bills
the sundry civil, general deficiency,
agricultural and the Indian. Possibly
some attention may be given also to
changing the present rules of the house,
although this attempt will meet with
failure. Considerable agitation will be
made, however, for a revision of some
of the rules now in vogue.
After the passage of the tariff bill by
the senate, of course some matters OF
difference between the two houses will
be adjusted in conference, and then the
bill will be before the president, prob
ably shortly before July 1. While he is
considering it's provisions, the senate
will take up the appropriation bills and
by the time Mr.. Mckinley has signed the
tariff bill, the senate will be through
with the appropriation bills, and ad-
journment of the extra session will fol-
low almost as a matter of course, as it is
plainly the intention of the Republican
leaders here not to attempt any general
legislation at the extra session, putting
it all off until the regular session of the
Fifty-fifth congress, next December.
1t is even limited that Speaker Reed
will not appoint any of the standing
committees of the house until the regu-
lar December session. This would, of
course, preclude any prospect of gen.
eral laWmakfng at the present extraor-
binary session.

General Draper was a delegate to the
Republican national convention of 1876
was colonel on the staff of Governor
Long, now secretary of the navy, from
1880 to 1888; and was a candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor Of
Massachusetts in 1888, but defeated. He
was elected to the Fifty-third congress
after hot fight with Hon. Fred G. Will
Jams and reelected to the Fifty-fourth
congress, declining again to come to con-
gress, prefarring to enter the diplomatic
service in some capacity.
Another New England matter of inter-
est which has transpired ia G V has been
the retirer7 t IF Rear Adm raj John G..
Walker Z. s. n, late president of the
lighthouse beard. under the treasury de-
partment. Admiral Walker is a New
England man, having ben borne in New
Hampshire, of Scotch descent. He began
his naval carer on Oct. 5, 1850. During
the civil war he took a conspicuous part
his first service being in Connectieut.
After the war he worked his way up in
various pisces in the navy department
and closed his career as president of the
lIS llIlOuSe DOdIU, LII case OF a war, ne
could re-enter the service, but not under
any other condition, as the law provides
tina when man reaches 81 years he must
be placed on the retired list.
A New England man succeeds Admiral
Walker. He is Commodore Joseph Mel
son Miller, u. S. NJ, formerly command
ant of the Charlestown navy yard. He
has passed a successful examination
for promotion. Commodore Miller has
been in command of the navy yard at
Charlestown since Aug g. 1894. He ia 60
years old.
The new New England members of

are now serving their first terms in con-

benefit of their constituents. New Eng
