KANSAS CONFERENCE TO-DAY.
Miners Executive Board and Operat-
Ors to Hold "a Meeting at
Pittsburg,

Pittsburg. Kas., Aug. 1S.-Secretary Ry-
an, of the United Mine Workers of Illinois,
is still in this city, and will remain until
after the conference tomorrow. 1t seems
that he has lost track of Vice President
Hunter. of the same organization in Him
ois. and he says he will remain here until
he locates him. IT Is said that Mr.. Hunter
has fallen into the hands of T. B. McGreg-
or. of LeavenwoTth. which is a most unde-
sirable state of affairs. in the mind of Mr..
Ryan. The last heard of Hunter. he was
TO meet McGregor at the fremont hotel in
Kansas City, but 1t was later rumored that
he was in the Weir and Scammon district
with McGregor. A telegram TO him al
Weir City. however, failed to bring any re-
sponse Chairman Wallace, of the eXecu-
tive board of Kansas miners, came in from
Scammon this morning, and he and Ryan
have been in consultation the greater part
of the day regarding to-moTrow's confer
ence between the miners executive board
and the operators. The situation here at
present has no appearance of a strike, but
it is rather hard to tell what tomorrow
Will bring forth.

COFFEEN STILL THREATENED.
"General" BradIey's Army Refuses to
MOye-WilI BE Dispersed by
Force To-day,

Coffeen, ILL.,. Aug. 13-Bradley's army of
striking miners still threatens the town.
No attention was paid to the sheriff's proc
lamation ordering the strikers TO leave the
county, and the men are as defiant as
ever.
Sheriff Randle did not return from Jack
sonville until late this afternoon. He
drove Immediately to the strike headquar-
ters to investigate for himself just how
far his order had been obeyed. He was
angered by Bradley's defiant attitude, but
decided not to resort to force until to-mor-
row. This was done because it would have
been impossible TO marshal the deputies be-
fore sundown and the sheriff did not want
to take chances with the invaders in the
dark. He inclined also TO believe that
Bradley is blufing, and that the camp will
be disbanded in the morning.
If every striker Is not off the ground and
on the move by noon, he will go forward
with his men and the work that peaceable
methods have failed to accomplish will be
done by force
Fifteen Coffeen miners who stopped work
when Bradley came here were to-day noti-
fled by Receiver Mills of their discharge
and were ordered to take out their tools,
which they did.

that w. II. Rollins. baggageman, was
killed and three negro passengers slightly
wounded. No one else was injured. The
rails of the track were displaced. evident
ly by design, but whether for the purpose
of robbery or through spite is not yet
known.
Dallas. Tex, Aug. 13-The Missouri. Kan
sas & Texas railroad officials at Dallas
headquarters insist that the wreck of their
northbound passenger train at CaddO Mills
at midnight last night was the work of
train wreCkers. The fishpiates had been
removed and the rail bent. The spikes were
piled up near the track. Suspicion as to
the identity of the wreckers points to four
section hands recently discharged. War
rants are out for their arrest, and a sher-
in 5 posse and citizens of Caddo Mills are.
searching for them. Passengers in on the
night train say no arrests had been made
when the train passed Caddo Mills. but
that Indignation was at high pitch among
the people. who declare that If the right
men are caught they will be lynched.

any other than personal meaning. In
relation TO the statement that he is likely
10 be appointed to the vacant archepisco-
pate of New Orleans, DR.. Keane said he had
not heard that such a thing was probable
until two days ago. but that he had written
to the bishops of the see not to place his

had been dfsregarded. He expressed him
self perfectly satisfied with his position at
Rome but said that should he be appointed
archbishop of New Orleans he would ac-

SUMNER POPS IN REBELLION.
Demand Some Offices as the Price for
Not Making Governor Lee
DIV Trouble.

Topeka. Kas., Aug. 13.-(Special) The
state administration is somewhat exercised
over the snub given 1t at the Sumner coun-
u Popullst convention a few days ago. y
resolution was introduced commencing
Governor Leedy for his wise statesman
ship, and ii precipitsted a hot although
one-sided fight. 1t was finally laid on the
table by an almost unanimous vote. This
action is said to be due to the fact that
the administration still retains ex-Govern-
or Lewelling on the board of railroad COM
mlssioners, and also because Leedy turned
down A. {. Lamb, of Wellington, for su-
perintendent of the Hutchinson reforma-
tory. Ed Hackney. representative from
Sumner. was here last night and 1t is re-
ported to-day that he served notice on the
governor that unless Sumner county Pop
ulsts were given some pie they would
ma Ike trouble. They are now talking of
running Senator Forney. of that county,
for governor.

1t is also said that he agreed to lie down

Curtis name his man. All he expected of
Curtis was to switch and make the race
for cOngressman-at-large, instead of for
congressman Of the First district. and also
at the proper time, to deliver the Shawnee
delegation to Bailey. Curtis asked why
either Broderick or Bailey would not make
good candidate for large
