shurtlefr sues for Salary.

Ferdinand N. Shurtleff, the member of the
board Of general appraisers in New York,
who was removed from office by President
Mckinley, has begun suit in the United
States district court against the Secretary
of the Treasury to recover $307.69, the
amount of his salary for the interval be-
tween the date of the notification of his re-
moval and the Installation of his successor.
The complaint AYERS that the plaintiff con-
tinued to present himself sat the office of
the general appraisers, ready to perform
his customary duties, during that interval
and that he was unable to learn the nature
of any charges presented against him, if
any were presented. The complaint recites
the circumstances attending his removal
from Office, and denies that the President
had any power to remove him except upon
charges properly presented.

Jester made no response. His head bent

IoBACCO IN THE PHILIPPINES

| ger GATE OF April 26 last saws:
| nave noticed that the American na,,s-
| papers generally have taken What seemed
| 10 me an unusual amount of interest in my
| report on Tobacco in the Philippines
| fupllshed IN the Consular Reports of March
1888. Since then, l have obtained addition
al information on this subject which T
trust VIII be received as supplementary to
what l have already written. In the first
report noted that representative of the
Dulch and English tobacco growers of what
Is known as the Sumatra leaf had nassad
through this city en- route for northern
LEON, where he was to test the soil regard
ing the possibility of the introduction of
Sumatra tobacco u
during the past week a Mr. Velee who
Tor years has lived in northern Luzon in
the employ of the Oriente Tobacco Com
pany, arrived in this city from Aparri
APART is the port in northern Luzon fro,,
which the bulk of the Manila tobacco cron
is shipped to the great factories in Manila
Mr. verge tan Englishman) informs me that
ne mas already thoroughly tested the soil
with great success regarding the growth of
Sumatra tobacco, and has conclusivelv
proven that its introduction is practicable.
Mr.. Veige had previously been engaged in
tobacco planting in Sumatra where the
SOIL would produce crop only once i'm
seven or eight years. In the experiments
ne Hidue III tLe provinces or Cagayan Isa-
be'a and New Biscay, he found that the
SOIL would grow crop every year pro-
duclng leaf fifteen inches in length 1t was
even ascertained that the new soil was TOO
rich, and that the old soil that had been under
cultivation for some years produced a thin
ner and stronger leaf Although the experi-
nents were so eminently successful. the
wholesale cultivation of the Sumatra leaf
was never undertaken because of the OBJ
structive policy of the Spanish regime. Mr..
Velge estimates that one acre of this ground
viii produce from six to ten thousand
plants, or trees as they are technically
termed Ono native is considered CAPABLE
of planting and harvesting one acre He
is paid for his services in the cultivation of
Manila tobacco about SO Mexican for every
100 pounds of tobacco that is accepted by
the warehouses. This means an income for
him throughout the year of about % cents
Mexican per diem.
Of course, at the date of writing there is
almost nothing being done in the tobacco
raising provinces, as the ports are closed
and their markets are shut off Men with
money who are on the ground when the
country is thrown open and life and prop
erty are safe can realize large returns by
investing in these rich tobacco lands; also
In laying railroad line through them from

Cleveland Trolley Men Hide
From the Strikers.

Cleveland, June Eat 1 o'clock the
most serious disturbance Of the day
occurred. At the corner of Euclid
avenue and Bond street three cars were
held and the trolley ropes were cut.
the trainmen locked themselves in the
cars. taking refuge under the seats.
One non-uniOn motorman decided to
take his chances with the crowd and
jumped into the mob. He was hustled
but not injured. A solid mass of peO-
pie blocked the street for two blocks.
Not a policeman was in sight when the
troubel began, but a strong force ar
riV dein a few minutes and the crowd
gave way, but not before the cars had
been derailed.
The following resolution was adopted
by the company's board Of directors
after hot debate:
Resolved, That the differences be-
tween the Cleveland Electric Railway
substantially narrowed down to the
proposition, upon which the company
must stand, that it must hire and dis
charge men without dictation of any
body. AS alerady stated, it does not
attempt, nor will it attempt, to dictate
to it's employees whether they shall be-
long to a union or not. 1t will not re-
them for joining, or refusing to join, at
their pleasure. The company must re-
serve to itself the right to treat direct
ly with it's own men, to hire new ones
as the needs of the service require, and
to discharge inefficient men without ac-
orS.
Entertaining these views, it must
respectfully decline to submit these
questions to arbitration"

HE WAS ALARMED.
Jointist Thought He Was to Be Tried
! by J. a. Troutman and II. E. Larimer.

One of the fraternity that dispenses
liquid refreshments in Topeka contra
ry to the statutes of Kansas, received
a shock in the district court room this
morning which he will remember to
his dying day.
1t was while Judge Hazen was going
over the motion docket and the court
room was crowded with lawyers. There
were so many of them that they had
filled the jury box. Among the number
in the box We're some of the leading
prohibitionists Of Topeka, who have
been prominent in the prosecution of
jointists. Others were known to have
decided leaningS in the same direction.
The jointist in question came swag-
gering into the court room, ready for
his trial to begin. He was apparently
confident that he would get off easily.
He had part way crossed the room
when he happened to notice the jury
box. Then his lower jaw dropped. He
looked a little closer and his eyes be
gan to bulge out. Then his knees be-
gan to smite together and he had to
reach for a chair to steady himself.
There in the jury box sat Harry Larl-
mer J. A. Troutman, w. E. Pagan,
Ed McKeever, T. D. Humphrey, w. S.
McClintock. A. T. Sherman, A. M.
Thomas and c. F. Spencer. There
wasn't much hope for a jointist in that
crowd.
The jointist CROPPED unsteadily to the
door. motioning to Bailiff John COyne
to follow him outside the court room
us that the jury for this term there
in the box?' he gasped.
Yes said the bailiff.
The jointist groaned.
My Cod" he said, leaning up
against the wall for support, "a Teller
amt got much show this time"
When he recovered a little he began
again.
rs Jim Troutman one of the jury?"
Yes" answered the bailiff.
'And Harry Larimer?"
Yes
This was too much. With a smooth
cred cry the jointist sank on bench
and buried his face in his hands.

FOR PURITY OF POLITICS.
President Will and Prof Benis Dis
missed by Manhattan Regents.

Manhattan, June 12.-President VIII,
Prof Edward Bernis and other mem
bers of the faculty of the Kansas agri-
cultural college, have been dismissed.
The board of regents has passed resolu-
tions in substance as follows:
Feeling that the best interests of the
institution demand a partial change in
the present faculty, 1T is hereby resolv-
ed that the services of the following
members be dispensed with: President
Thomas E. Will, Frank Parsons, pro-
fessor of history and political science;
Edward Bemis. professor of economic
science; DR. ]. H. Ward, professor of
English language and literature. and
Secretary H. M Phipps."
This action of the board was expected
to follow the reconstruction when two
Populist trustees were displaced by
legislative investigation and Republi-
cans appointed in their places. Presi-
dent viii was appointed by the old
board when the Populists displaced
President FairchiId. Prof. Bemis is
widely known as a writer on economic
subjects. He was a lecturer in the
university extension course of the Uni
versity Of Chicago three years ago. He
said he was dismissed because John D.
Rockefeller regarded his teachings as
against the interests of the Standard
OIL company. This was denied by Pres
ident Harper of the university.

A CELLULosE FACTORY
To Be Located In Kansas-To Grind

lose, to be used as part of the equip
ment of battleships. The projectors
VIII pay probably 81 a ton for stalks.
corn to the acre will produce two tons
of stalk.
j. D. Hughes of Washington, D. c.,
the protector of the enterprise, who,
visiting various Kansas towns to ascer-
tain the best location for his factory
was in Kansas City last week He is
positive that the venture will be pushed
to successful issue. He said:
There are three concerns in the
United States now engaged in the man
ufacture of celluIose. They are the
Marsden company of Philadelphia, the
factory at greensboro, KY, and the ex-
pertinent station at Rockford. Ill. The
latter is paying 81 ton for stalks and
the kentucky concern SO. During the
six months that the Rockford station
has been in operation the company paid
over S12 900 for stalks
The idea in establishing a cellulose
factory in Kansas is to get close to the
source OF production, and thereby work
a saving in freightS. Unless there is
some unexpected hitch we will have
the factory running in time to take
care OF the fall crop. The use of corn
stalk ptth as a part of the defensive
equipment of the modern battleship
promises much to the western farmer
The manufacture of cellulose is no long
er an experiment.
THE new battleships Illinois, Ken
lucky, Alabama, KearSarge and Wis
consin have each been provided with a
belt of cellulose. three feet thick twelve
feet high, six feet above the water line
and six feet below the water line, ex-
tending around the entire ship. 1t takes
fifty tons of cellulose for each ship On
