SANTIAGO INA BAD WAY.
General Brooke Continues to Make a
Mess of It

Santiago de Cuba, April N.-The special
committee appointed by the board of trade
to inquire into the municipal tax situation
made it's report at a public meeting this
afternoon at the San Carlos club.
According to the committee, General
Brooke's order abolished licenses and all
taxes except per cent on the income from
land At present only seven plantations
are operating i'll the province and Drac-
tically no houses are being rented in the
towns. The municipal revenues have been
reduced from so, coo to 5000 per month in
Santiago and there have been similar re-
auctions in other towns. Public works
and schools must be stopped, 5000 persons

FROM THE HUNGRY KAw.
The Rock Island Redeeming Several
Acres of Land For Round
House Site.

Just above the Rock Island bridge
across the Kaw on the south side of the
river there is an area of several acres
of low land 1t is only few feet above
the waters edge, and when the river is
high this tract is submerged. Its loca-
ton is such that it would be of consid-
cradle value to the railroad were 1t not
so much lower than the regular grade
In order to make it available the ROCK
Island company proposes to MI 1t IN
level with the other tracks. This work
has already been begun, and is prose-
cuted as opportunity is offered
Whenever the company has an extra
supply of dirt or debris to dispose OF
it is brought to Topeka and dumped into
''Y'' runs along the south edge of the
depression and as fast as it is filed
in tracks will be laid along the made"
ground until the river channel Is
pushed out still further and part of the
channel also filled in In that case the
bridge would be narrowed by one span
This filling process will take great
deal of time and it may be year or so
until it is completed. The number of
cubic yards of dirt to accomplish it
will run up into the hundreds of thous-
ands, and thousands of carloads of ma
terial will have to be brought in
1t is the intention of the company
eventually to make this location the site
of it's Topeka round house. 1t is said
to be an ideal location and will be easy
of access from the cOmpany'S offices
There will be an abundance of water,
which will have to be raised only a few
feet.
Other minor buildings will, of course
be erected in connection with the round
house when the time comes, and much
of the repair business of the Kansas
lines of the Rock Island will be done

ARTHUR ON STRIKES.
Chief of the 3. of L E Gives the In
dustrial Commission Information.

Washington, April 21.-The industrial
commission today heard statements
from B. NJ Arthur, CHIEF of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, and P. ].
Mcclure, secretary OF the orga nization
of Carpenters and JOiners of America
Chief Arthur covered much of the
ground heretofore gone over by E. F.
Clark, of the railway conductors order
In addition, he described the status
of the locomotive engineers as quite
satisfactory in most respects, both as
to their organization and relations with
the railway companies His order has
written agreements with 80 per cent OF
the railways as to the conditions of
work Strikes have been severe and
generally successful in the past but
are on the decrease
Mr. Arthur said that 80 per cent of
the sc. 600 locomotive engineers of the
country belonged to the brotherhood
The order was strict in maintaining a
high standard of morals and efficiency,
discharging in one year 172 members for
cause.
Mr.. Mcclure said the Carpenters and
Joiners' organization had been known
and more or less dreaded as a striking
organizati0n because it was chosen
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-04-21

by the Federation of Labor to inaugu-
rate the great strikes for the eight
hour day from 1882 to 1887. Since 1888,
Mr.. Mcguire said. the carpenters had
90S, compromised 81 and lost 81. The
necessity for striking had decreased
owing to the strength and determine
ton of the organization. In the past
three years they had struck only eighty
three times, losing twice, winning sixty
four and compromising seven.
Computed in purchasing power the
carpenters wages was 80 to 40 per cent
higher than thirty years ago. The social
conditions of the workers, as a rule, had
improved in the larger centers. Child
labor and unrestricted immigration he
regarded as the two great evils of the
labor world and he was in favor of
well considered, but decided restriction
in both cases.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works has

OTIS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Los Angeles Warrfor-Editor Spent
Most of Yesterday With the
President.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-President Nc
Kinley and General Harrison Gray Otis,
who arrived here yesterday from the West.
had an extended conference to-day on af-
fairs relating particularly to the campaign
in the Philippines. They are long personal
friends and the opportunity of discussing
questions of importance in which they are
mutually and deeply interested was en-
joyed by both. During the afternoon Cen
eral Otis took luncheon with the president,
subsequently went driving with him and
this evening in company with Adjutant
General Corbin, dined with him at the
White House.
Late tonight, when asked by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press about his
conference with the president, General
Otis replied:
specially important about it. We discussed
ippines, and in reminiscent way talked
of incidents in the war Of thirty years ago
in which we both had part. Beyond that,
there Is little to be said. may say that
| the president is quite satisfied with affairs
| in the Philippines as they are being con-
| Quoted by Major General Otis. He has i'm
plicit confidence in General Otis and that
| is fully determined" continued General
| Otis, ito put down the insurrection in those
| islands. His mind is made up on thai
point"
General Otis was asked whether his con
ference with the president to-day had any
reference to the rumors that he might TAKE
a place in the cabinet.
| II may say as to that" replied the gen
eral, decisively, that not the faintest sug
gestion has ever been made to me upon the
subject by the president. There is absolute
ly no foundation for the story"
