League.

CHICAGO, June N.-Arrangements are
now being completed to transfer all of the
Columbus Western League teams games
to Cleveland and it is even possible that
the games between Detroit and Columbus
next Saturday may be played in the For
est City.
President Johnson, of the Western Base
ball League, is now in the East, but be-
fore he gets back another movement of far
more import than the withdrawal of the
Robisons from Cleveland may have been
started.
A strong movement has been set on foot
for the formation of a new baseball league,
which in measure will be competitor of
the National League. The friends of Pres
fdent Johnson assert that he is not back
good authority that he has been asked to
head the enterprise.
The new league will be formed on the
lines of the old American Association. II
will try to resurreot baseball interest in
Cleveland by locating a club there, and the
rest of the teams will be located in some
of the strongest Western League cities
Louisville is interested in the new enter.
prise to the extent Of wanting to get a
berth. An agent from the present base.
ball management in Louisville visited Chi.
cago a few days ago and wanted to know
what the prospects were for membership ir
the proposed organization.
Chicago may have q team in the new
league. Efforts have quietly been going or
for some time for a desirable location fol
grounds on the South side. An official ir
one of Chicago's biggest banks is one Of
the most enthusiastic promoters.

TROOPS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Ten Thousand Volunteers to BE Re.
cruited ut Once and More
Inter.

WASHINGTON, June 27-As a result of
g. conference between the president and
Secretary Alger this afternoon it has been
decided to begin the enlistment of volun-
teers for two years service in the Phil
ippines. Orders to recruiting officers to
this effect will be sent out tomorrow 1t is
proposed to arm and equip at once three
briSades, or about 10000 men, and to con-
tinue the work until the whole 5000 men
authorized by law are secured.
There will be no call upon the states.
The regiments will be organized as United
States volunteers. Officers will be appoint
ed by the president and assigned to regi-
ments without regard to state lines The
maximum of the regular army of 6, eco men
has been secured and now enlistments will
be for the provisional army to make UP
the total strength of 100000 men. General
Otis has 20 800 men on the ground or under
orders, and volunteers will be rushed to
him until he has an effective force of So,
00a men.
In the enlistments for the United States
volunteers, veterans of the late war. in
Guiding those who did not get beyond the
home camps, but were seasoned, will be
given the preference, and the same will be
true of the officers. A brigadier general for
every three regiments and a major general
for each division of three brigades will be
appointed. They will be part regulars and
part volunteers and General Joe Wheeler
will be among the number.

CITY HAS AN INSTRUMENT THAT
EASILY DETECTS FRAUD.
is CALLED A REFRACToMETER
PRESENCE OF WAITE Rim BUTTERi
REVEALED AT A GLANCE.
Many Dealers Arc Selling CONCEALED
Butter and the Health Depart-
ment Is After Them With
u Sharp Stick-HeaIth
to BE Protected.

The city health department has Just re-
celVed an instrument that when put to its
proper use will tend very much to encour-
age the sale of pure butter. 1t is called
refractometer and the man who invented
1t must have had in mind the object 'let no
guilty butter dealer escape" for when the
refractometer is turned on specimen of
butter the operator can tell to the smallest
part of fraction the amount of actual
butter fat the butter contains.
The instrument looks like a microscope
with thermometer attachment. Experi-
ment has demonstrated that when butter
is at temperature of 30 degrees centigrade
it should register 6s degrees centigrade of
butter fat, which is absolute purity. While
Kansas City has no ordinance against the
use of butterine in butter the state has
and the city IS an ordinance against the
sale of congealed butter, that is butter that
has had water added to it to make weight
1t has come to the notice of the health
department that the traffic in CONCEALED
butter has revived and it is for the purpose
of greater facility in detecting this fraud
the refractometer has been obtained. When
a sample of butter is submitted to the city
chemist he smears little of it on the glass
of the instrument and then looks through
the end. The thermometer will register the
temperature of the butter and below the
magnifying glass of the instrument he will
see a row of figures denoting the amount of
butter fat in the sample. If dark line at
one side covers the figure 6S he knows the
butter is not pure and 1t is then analyzed
to find out what has been mixed with it. If
it is an undue proportion Of water, say in
excess of u per cent of the whole, the
sample is at once known to be CONCEALED
butter and a warrant will be sworn out
for the offender who, if convicted, will be
fined anywhere from IS to $500. He will
have one satisfaction, however, and that
will be the knowledge he was convicted
solely on scientific evidence, for the refrac-
tometer could not lie if it wanted to. 1t
simply demonstrates facts and IL dealer
will adulterate his butter the refractometer
can't help registering that fact when a
| sample of the butter is tested.

NEW HITCH AT PETTSBURG.
There Is Now n Demand for Equality
of Treatment for Whites
and Blacks.

PTTTSBURG, KAS., June 27.-(SpecialJ
A new phase has presented itself in the
agitation going on among the miners for
the past month. 1t is the strongest among
the men at the Pittsburg and Midway and
Wear Coal Company mines at Vernon.
The object sought by the agitation Is to
have the union colored miners work in
common with the whites without distlnc-
ton as to places in the mines. Threats OF
a suspension among the whites are openly
made If the rule is not adopted. meeting
will probably be held in Midway to de-
termine the sentiment in the matter by q
vote. 1t is thought that it will not be
adopted 1t has been the custom here
tofore in mines which employ colored men
to give them places together and separate
from the whites as far as possible, but
this was before the union was in as
fiourishing condition as now, and before
the colored miners were members thereof.
Sheriff Sparks, of Cherokee county, was
served with an injunction last night
against interfering with strike troubles in
the way he had stated he would Deputy
United States Marshal Mooney served the
injunction on the sheriff. 1t will be re-
membered that Sparks was credited with
making the statement that he would ar
rest every colored miner imported into the
district, and also arrest every operator
who imported them and all of the deputy
United States marShals who undertook to
guard them.

PAwNEE DESTROYED By, FIRE, BUT

BOATS GOT AWAY BEFORE HE HAD
LEFT THE STEAMER.
He Finally Jumped 1nto the Sea and
Swan to One of the Boats-Dis-
nster Occurred on the Car
oIinn Coast Sunday
Night.

WILMINGTON, n. c., June 2I.-The
George w. Clyde, Captain Roberts, of the
New York Clyde line, arrived in this port
at IL O'clock this morning, with Captain
A. D. Ingram and crew, of the steamer
Pawnee, on board. The Clyde had picked
them up from small boats very soon after
they had abandoned the Pawnee, which
was destroyed by fire off Curritucut Sun
day night The fire was discovered about
midnight and had gained such headway
that every effort to check 1t was futile.
The flames ieaped in great volume from
the forward hold of the vessel, and dense
smoke completely envelopei the deck.
When the alarm was made Captain In
gram was asleep, and no sooner had he
rushed out and taken in the situation than
he saw that If he saved his crew he must
get them off at once. However, the pumps
were set to work and threw two streams
of water upon the flames for several min
utes before he gave the order for the boats
TO be lowered and the ship abandoned.
While the crew was manning the small
boats Captain Ingram rushed into his cabin
for some valuables which he hoped to save.
When he reached the ships side the boat
had drifted out of reach, and about that
time the smoke shifted SO as TO envelop
that side of the vessel and the captain
ordered the crew TO row the boat to wind
ward. This 1t did, but in the meantime
the wind shifted again, the heat and smoke
Forcing the crew to pull away without the
captain. There were three vain attempts
of this KIND made, the boat being rowed
Tirst 70 one side of the yesseI, and then to
the other IN attempts TO reach the captain.
Finally Captain Ingram leaped into the
water and swan 800 feet or more, finally
reaching boat, completely exhausted and
almost unconscious.
In the meantime the George W. Clyde
had sighted the Pawnee in flames and
picked up the captain and crew within a
few minutes. Captain Ingram says the
Pawnee had full cargo, principally lum-
Der. There was also a quantity of cot
ton. She cleared for Brunswick last Fri
day.

CHICAGO PACKING STRIKE.
Laborers Back mt Work, but Now the
, Skilled Workmen Are Demand
ing More Money.

ing More Money.
CHICAGO, June 27.-The unskilled labor
ers at the stock yards have won their
strike, and to-day nearly 2,0oO men who
have been idle for three or four; days
returned to work at an increase OF = cents
day. This brings the wages Of unskilled
labor to the standard of 1895.
The dissatisfaction among the laborers
has practically been settled. but to-day
a more serious problem confronted the
packers. The skilled workmen. who draw
from $3.50 to $3.50 per day, demand an
increase, which the packing companies say
they will not grant.
The cutters in Armour & Co.'S killing de-
partment struck to-day for an increase of
50 cents a day. They receive Si:50 per day
and demand $500 Superintendent Conway
says the firm will not meet the demand, as
In 1888. 1t was estimated that at present
only 500 people are striking and this num-
ber includes dozens of boys and girls not
over IA years of age.
Swift & Co say they are having no trou-
BILE with their employees. -.
Nelson Morris & Co. have 200 men still
out, but these are expected back to work
tomorrow.
The strike of the cutters in Armour &.
Co.'S packing house may cause trouble. as
the firm has decided TO dispense entirely
with these workmen, who are among the
best paid men in the district. Armour &
Co. have decided to employ q different
method in cleaning hogs. When the strtk-
ers find that their places are being filed
by unskilled workmen, 1t is expected they
will cause trouble.

FIVE ALABAMA NEGROES SHOT
DOWN BY WHITES.
THREE DEAD AND ONE WILL DIE
NEGROES HAD AIMED TO PREVENT
AN EXPECTED LYNCHING.
Abused n White Man Passing Along
the Road and Were Shortly Fired
Upon by II Body of Whites
-RingIeaders Were
Killed.

BIRMINGHAM. ALA, June 2L-Three
negroes are dead and one other is not
expected to live until morning as a result
of a riot between the white and negro
miners at the ore mines near Cardiff, in
Jefferson county. The dead are Ed Ellis,
Jim Dill and Adam Samuels. The wounded
are Rudolph Williams and George Thomas,
mortally.
The two races came to a clash in the
late afternoon in Glasgow hollow, where
the negroes had congregated armed with
Winchester rifles. A white man passing
along the road was held up. and, besides
being abused, was roughly handled. This
news soon spread and an armed body OF
white miners moved toward the hollow.
1t is supposed that they went around by
a circuitous route in the mountains and
came upon the forces unexpectedly.
Ed Ellis. the ringleader, armed with a
Winchester and a Colts revolver, fell at
the first fire. A rifle bullet did the work.
Dill and Adam Samuels died in few
minutes after being removed to negro
house. George Thomas was shot through
the abdomen with a Winchester bullet: He
is not expected to recover. Rudolph WILL
Jams will live.
The trouble started yesterday, when ii
was thought that John Shepherd, who on
last Wednesday assaulted Mrs. Monroe
Jones near Corona, was in that commun-
ity. The negroes armed themselves to
prevent his capture. Both sides were
aroused and only the timely arrival OF
a sherinS posse prevented an outbreak.
This morning the negro miners held mass
meeting and refused to go to work. They
all belong to secret organization known
as the knights of Africa, or the ''Myster-
lous Ten" They keep rifles and ammuni-
ton on hand at all times. 1t was III the
afternoon that they. gathered in Glasgow
hollow, although with what intention is moi
now known.
Influential citizens says that the ringlead
ers are now out of the way and they hope
to manage the other negroes. Ed Ellis, the
head OF the band, and holding the CHIEF
office in the secret organization, made 6
speech TO the negroes just before his death
telling them not to believe what the white
officers had told them, and swearing thai
he, for one, would get even with Sheriff
OBrfen, who yesterday, at the point of g
shotgun, ordered him to disperse his gang
