MEET ALL COMERS.
Congressman Curtis Not Frightend by
First District Complications.

Congressman Charlie Curtis said in an
interview in Leavenworth yesterday;
1T is entirely too early to discuss the
next election yet and it is deplora BILE
that the fight has been begun. l did not
begin it, however, and am not keeping
up the fight, but when the time comes
l will go into the convention and L Will
go in to win.
Il would say in regard to the contest
which has been precipitated, that Cyrus
Leland who has started 1t and is keep
ing it up ought to do all he could to pre-
vent it as he is the national committee
man and that is his duty. 1t would seem
that this would be the proper course for
him to pursue instead of the opposite
one.
''These gentlemen have opened up the
fight prematurely and 1 believe that
they will be convinced of this fact be-
fore they have finished. They have all
ready acknowledged it for they claim
themselves that it is too early to make
any canvass"
In speaking of the Horton agree
ment, Mr.. Curtis said:
The truth about that matter is that
there is another side to it and l will say
that when the time comes 1 will leave
something to say which will prove that
I am right. | will say, too he contin-
ued, that in regard to the breaking of
a political agreement 1 never in my life
violated an agreement where I had
made one or w here my friends had made
one for me unless they had been imposed
upon.
AS I said. when the time comes I
will be found in the convention and
am willing to take my chances with all
other candidates" said Mr. Curtis
4 will enter the contest for the NOM
ination prepared to meet all corners and
1 have no fear of the result. L am go
ing before the people on my record and
1 hope that my service has been such
that 1 will be given the nomination. If
1 have done anything for the people, if
I have represented the district in cred
liable manner, then L ask the nominal
ton

ALGER TAKES IT EASY.

Washington, June 29.-Speaking of his
senatorial ambition, Secretary of War
Alger said today that he was taking
things quite easily

started too far away, overran himself
and failed to clear the bar. The second
time he did not run so far and got

Mr. Alger was asked as to the charge

I never owned a dollars worth of
stock in the trust or in match COM

after this the match combination was

A GENERAL
SUSPENSION.
Every Tin Plate Mill In the
Country to Close.
Fifty Thousand Employees Will
Become Idle.
CONFERENCE FAIL S
To Adjust the Differences Over
Wage Scale.
CONFERENCE FAILS
All the Mills Are Members of
the Trust.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 29.-As result
of the failure to settle the tin plate
wage scale at the Chicago conference,
all the tin plate mills in the country
are preparing to close down, and tomor-
row at midnight there will be a general
suspension. Nearly so. 900 men will be
thrown idle by the shut down. How
long it will last is a matter of specula-
ton.
Circulars have been sent out to all
the lodges notifying them of the nom
success of the Chicago conference, and
it is expected that the sentiment of the
men on the question will reach the local
official officers Monday next. There are
some rumOrs of a mass meeting to be
held Saturday, but the local officials
would not talk on the subject.

TELEGRAPHER CRAZY.
Constant Clicking of the Instruments
Given as the Cause.

New York. June 29.-David .wisker,
p. years old. an operator employed for
ten years by one of the large telegraph
companies, was taken to. Bellevue hos
pital yesterday, insane.
.Wisker is said to be of a peculiarly
nervous temperament, and his work
confined him closely. In the room where
he was employed are several hundred
instruments, and all day long they
keep up a distracting clicking.
Recently Wisker's fellow employees
noticed that his work grew cratic, and
he seemed to find it difficult to recog-
nize his sign" Then he began to
complain of his head, and said he
couldn't stand the noise in the office.
Finally the constant ticking of the
instruments unsettled his reason, it is
said. and yesterday he was taken from
his home to the insane pavilion.
