Three Kansas City Packing
Firms Made Defendants.
John Thomas Wants Damages
For infringement.
HANDLING LIVE STOCK
Claims That His Patents For
That Purpose Are Used.
Gets No Revenue and Therefore
Wants 1t Stopped.

John Thomas of Kansas City, Mo, has
filed suits in the federal court against
three Kansas City packing houses,
asking for damages from them aggre-
eating $40 900. The three packing houses
are Swift & Co, from whom Thomas
wants $50 600; Schwarzschild & Salsbur-
ger from whom he wants SIS, 900 and
George Fowler, Sons & Co., whom he
sues for 50, 600.
All three of these firms have large
packing houses at Kansas City, Kansas.
but they are Incorporated elsewhere
Schwarzschild & Salisburger are incor-
porated in New York, Swift & Co, in
Illinois, while the Fowler Packing COM
pany is a British concern and has a
charter from Great Britain.
Thomas claims to be the inventor of.
and to have a patent on an apparatus
for handling hogs and cattle which is Of
great utility in packing houses where
these animals have to be handled quick
Iy He says that he has sold the ap-
paratus and the right to use it to many
concerns all over the country and that
it has been a source of great profit to
him. He further says that the three
packing houses named are using ap-
paratus and machines just like his with
out any authority from him, and he is
greatly damaged thereby. He therefore
asks the federal court to enjOin them
from using the apparatus any more and
to give him judgment for the amount
for which he sues each company as
damages.

AUNT SUSAN'S FAITH.
Believes Men as Well as Women
Have a Great Future.

London, June 27@The international
council of women opened yesterday in
the convocation hall of the Church
house. instead of the large hall of
Westminster town hall which was
found to be too small to accommodate
the delegates. The Countess of Aber-
deem, president of the council in her
address after cordial words of welcome
sketched the duties of the council She
said international arbitration should
ever be placed foremost in its pro-
gramme, advocated the esta blishment
of an international bureau of informa-
tion regarding all that affects women
and warned women against arrogating
to themselves alone the duties of curing
all evils, saying:
1T may be we'll to have unions of
mothers, but do the fathers count so
little in the home that their counsel
is not needed? The redemption of the
race can only be compassed by men and
women joining hands and making COM
mon cause in every department of life
In conclusion the Countess of Aber-
deem deprecated the idea usually form
ed about woman's congresses that they
We're bent upon devising plans where
by women might be emancipated from
home duties, saying: This congress
holds fast to the belief that woman S
first mission must be her home''
Lady Aberdeen afterward introduced
Mrs May Wright SewaH of the United
States, vice president of the council
who was enthusiastically received as a
possible successor to the presidency
A delegation of Chinese women was
next introduced; and afterward Lady
Aberdeen presented representatives of
26 nations. among them Miss Susan B.
Anthony, who subsequently attended
the debate in the house of lords on the
bin legalizing the election of women as
councillors and aldermen.
Mrs. Sewan in the course of a brief
address, said:
Our young men shall see visions and
our young maidens dream dreams and
often between the meetings of a con-
gress like this, things which had ap-
peared as visions and dreams become
realities"
Miss Anthony referred to an evening
years ago in Liverpool when she and
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton met to
pass the first resolution in favor of
forming a national women's conference
Although the idea arose in America,
England took the lead in carrying it
Snto execution as the first president was
Mrs. Henry Fawcett. She provoked
much laughter by remarking: Il have
not yet given up my faith in men. I
believe they also have a great future
as well as the women"

M 'KlNLEY GETS BACK.
Returned to Washington From
New England Trip.

Washington, June 27.-The president
and Mrs. Mckinley with the other mem
bers of the presidential party arrived
heer at 1890 a. today and were
driven Immediately to the White House.
Mrs. Mckinley, whose illness cut short
the presidents stay at Adams. stood the
journey very well and was slightly bet
ter on arrival. She contracted a cold
while in New England and the change
of the weather seemed to affect her so
that it was deemed wise for her to re-
turn to the White House. Her condition
is not considered serious or alarming
and she is expected to recuperate rap
idly.
With the president and Mrs. Mckinley
were Mrs. Abner Mckinley. Miss Sarah
Duncan of Cleveland, Miss IDA Barber
of Canton, nieceS of the president; Dr.
Dixey, the presidents physician, and
Mr.. Rudolph Forester. Owing to the
sudden and unexpected return of the
president there will be no cabinet meet
ing today although this is the regular
day for the assembling of the presi-
ever, that a special meeting may be
called for tomorrow to consider the
question of additional troops for the
Philippines.
DR.. .Rixey said upon leaving the White
House half an hour after the arrival of
the party that Mrs McKinley's condl-
ton need occasion no alarm
Il expect her to recover rapidly, ,"said
he. "'She will probably be sitting up
this afternoon"
Many people called during the day to
inquire concerning Mrs. McKinley's
health. The president remained at his
wife's bedside for time and then went
to his office, where he found many mat
ters requiring his attention had accum-
ulated. On this account he denied him
self to the general public. He saw Sec
retary Long, however. during the morn
ing about some departmental matters
Asked about the question of additional
troops in the Philippines, Secretary
Long said all the troops Gen. Otis need
ed would be sent to him but Gen Otis
had UP to this time refrained from ask
ing for more. Besides, little could be
accomplished during the rainy season in
the way of active campaigning.

SPAIN OBJECTED.
To Mexican Band Attending Rough
Riders Reunion.

Las Vegas. N. NJ, June 27.-One of
the most interesting and unique features
of the reunion was reception rendered
Governor Roosevelt at the Hotel
Castaneda by the Mexican people of
the territory just before his departure
The most influential and leading people
waited upon the noted New Yorker.
Felix Martinez of this city delivered
the address of welcome. during the
course OF which he made a rather SEN
sattOnal statement to the effect that
he had been informed that the Spanish
minister at the City of Mexico privately
but seriously objected to the visit of
the Chihuahua band to Las Vegas. The
objection was based upon the assump-
ton that the act of permitting the band
to visit this country and assist in cele-
brating a victory over Spanish arms
could not at least be considered
friendly attitude toward the vanQuished
nation. The Spanish minister waited
upon President Diaz in an informal way
and stated his objections. President
Diab was not of the same opinion, how
ever. and allowed the band to come to
Las Vegas. Mr.. Martinez as spokesman
on behalf of the native people of New
Mexico expressed his hearty sympathy
with the cause of the rough riders and
rendered Governor Roosevelt his best
compliments. Governor Roosevelt re-
sponded in his usual happy vein.
A letter from General Hernandez,
commander of the rough riders of Mex
leo, was read expressing his regrets
at having been unable to be present.
Music was rendered by the Chihuahua
band

ENDLESS PROCESSION
Of Troops To and From the
Philippines In Prospect.

Washington, June 27.-The president
upon his return to Washington was
promptly acquainted with the situation
Otis statement cabled yesterday He
retary Alger respecting the best method
of carrying out Gen. Otis desire to
maintain at least throughout the rainy
season, an effective fighting force of no
less than 10000 men in the island. In
the generals last estimate it is noted
that he asks for an reflective" force of
10000 men. This estimate will oblige the
war department to secure more troops.
Gen. Otis sick report and his casual
ty list make it evident that provision
must be made at once to supply
shortage of about Is per cent in his
force.
The officials are taking into consdera-
tiOn the assurance of the medical auth
critics that no diminution to this dis
ability rate can be expected during the
wet season, but that the conditions may
grow even worse as the season ad-
vances. Many of these men will have
to be invalided home to the United
States, it being demonstrated particu-
larly in the typhoid cases that convaI-
escence is rare unless the patient leaves
the Philippines. Thus, the department
will be under the necessity of keeping
up a steady flow of recruits from the
United States if General Otis desire is
complied with. The recruiting officers
report an ability on their part to supply
one thousand men a week more than
Otis needs in the future, while as for
the present, the department has as
Sembled 5000 recruits at San Francisco
ready for transport as soon as ships

One Original Society.

Cincinnati, O., June 27.-Everything
is in readiness including the great Gold
en- Jubilee hall for the triennial fest of
the North American Saengerbund which
begins tomorrow and continues the rest
of this week. Among the many visiting
musical societies. none attracts more
attention this year than the Louisville
Leiderkranz although many others are
much larger. There will be over 1000 in
mass chorus this week.
The only society in the original fest
of 1S49 which will be present this week
in the twenty ninth saengerfest is the
Louisville Leiderkranz. At the meeting
of the bund, one of the chief features
is the Commers and that part of the
festival began today and will continue
over Sunday next
Among the orchestral numbers at
tracing particular attention in rehear-
sails is Wagner's Kaiser Marsch that
had its inspiration in the great evolu-
tion of the sixteenth century, which
Wagner intended originally to be sung
by a great male chorus.

sTOCKYARDs STRIKE ENDS
Everybody Gets an Advance In
Wages.

Chicago. June 27-It was announced
by the packers this morning that the
stock yards strike was settled last
night, and that the men are all back
al work today. The strikers in several
departments were given increase in
wages.
The following statement regarding
the strike was issued by Armour &
Co:
About a week ago, the unskilled la
Dor at the stock yards was given an
advance of about % per cent. The
skilled labor made a demand, subse-
quent to the advance granted the un-
skilled labor, and the wage scale of
1898 has been adopted. This practically
makes the highest wages ever paid in
the stock yards. There are a few who
were not reduced in 1898, and whose
wages now are fully up to the scale
current then and fully up to the best
wages ever paid All the packers in
the stock yards are acting in harmony,
and contrary to rumors that have been
current in some quarters, none of them
has objected to a reasonable advance
in wages that have not been up to the
1893 scale.
The demand for Increased wages
came spasmOdically Z from different
gangs, but the advance made yesterday
by the packers includes all the labor
ers in the stock yards and the situation
is now satisfactory

Kentucky Democrats Begin
BalIoting Peacefully For
Governor.

Louisville, KY, June 27.-The bellig-
erency of the delegates to the state
Democratic convention to all appear
ances passed with the night Chair
man Redwine this morning ordered the
first ballot for governor without arous-
ing word of protest. 1t proceeded in
a hum drum way, the three candidates
dividing the vote just about as they
have from the start. Conferences be-
tween the Stone and Hardin managers
lasted until late in the night without
bringing them nearer to an agreement
They have nothing in common save op-
position to GOebel and that cause does
not appeal strongly enough to their fol-
lowers to bring about working agree
ment. The whole contest still swings
around the imperturbable Kenton coun-
ty man who has from the start played
his hand coldly and skilfully and has
not yet lost trick. The drift of the
Hardin-Stone coalition is strongly
toward Hardin in preference to Stone
but there is no sign yet that it can be
made effective. The last ballot today,
the fourteenth since voting began. re-
suited: Stone, 37S; Hardin, 1858; Goebel,
356.

''On September 25, six men went to
work to test their claims, some on Snow
creek and the rest on Anvil creek, the
best pan was obtained on Snow creek
and amounted to $S.25. The aggregate
OF four days work was four dollars less
than 81, 800. The gold was of good quail
ty and sold at ST. Michael without as
say for $16.S5 per ounce.
"On account of the lateness of the
season and lack of supplies no attempt
to reach bedrock was made.
The news soon spread and there has
been constant arrival of prospectors
from Unalaska, ST. Michael, and as far
south as Kuzkoquim.
Fully 500 locations have been made
to date.
Two other districts have been or
Sanized, one at Linrock, beyond Cape
Rodney, and the other with Bonanza
creek as a center.

lakes. having outlet at Port Clarence
Before starting from Kotzebue
Sound, December Is. 1895 prospectors
had come in from the Noatak reporting
the discovery of a rich and extensive
mineral belt north of the river. In No
Vember, 1898 there was a stampede
from among the prospectors wintering
on the kowak to reported rich diggings
