Buffalo, May 20.-The situation is a
delicate one, but not so serious that
careful handling cannot bring about a
settlement of the dock troubles Much
depends upon the action of the strikers
on the proposition made by counsel for
Contractor Corners and accepted by
President Mcmahon of the striking
grain shovelers that clause should be
inserted in the agreement between the
lake carriers and the men protecting the
latter against possible discrimination.
This was to have been presented to
the strikers by President Mcmahon
during the day, but it has since been
decided that the attorneys representing
both sides should draw up an agree
ment in legal form.
Four marine firemen who left their
boats were taken before the United
States commissioner, charged with de-
sertion and violating their contract,
which provided for a round trip. The
commissioner decided that he had no
jurisdiction.

ferred separately. They are again in

According to President Mcmahon, the
men now demand every concession from

the Arrogance of the contract. AS ev

WITH AN IRON HAND
Funston Hopes to See the Filipinos
Ruled Years After They Are
CONQUERED.

Fort Scott. Sept. 28-Major George
F Pond today received a letter from
General Frederick Funston, now en-
route home from Manila, in which the
general predicts that the Philippine war
will be ended by spring. Funston free
ly expresses himself as being in SYM
pathy with the war, and in favor of the
United States acquiring the islands.
Funston speaks of starting home, and
SAYS: Il would really like to see the
war through to a finish, not for the po-
sition I hold but because my fighting
blood is up. I am quite confident that
by spring it will be over. The indica-
tiOns are that a very aggressive cam
paign will be inaugurated this fall. and
they will have what they lacked before,
sc, 900 cavalry, absolutely Indispensable
in a guerilla war
Lord wouldn't I like to command
a cavalry brigade. I have never for a
minute had any qualmS as to the justice
of the war. We are right and they are
wrong. These people rejected peace
full OvertureS of the United States and
chose to fight from pure cussedness,
and I hope that when they are con-
quered they will be made to feel for
many years the iron hand of military
rule the only kind for which they are
suited I think the islands most
valuable acquisition. Their natural
resources are almost beyond computa-
ton. From a strictly money stand
DOiut they are great"

MURDERS HER CHILDREN.
Insane Mother Administers Morphine
and Turns on the Gas.

Detroit, Sept. 2S--A1rs. Clara Rheinar,
aged "a of 1O9 Catherine street last night
attempted to murder her three children
and commit suicide. She gave the children
morphine, cut her own wrists and then
turned on the gas in the room they We're
in. When discovered two Of the children
Harold, aged 8 and the baby aged II
months We're dead. BY hard work the
eldest child Elier, who was years OF
age and Mrs Rheiner were reSusc1tated-
Mrs. Rheiner failed to cut the arteries in
her wrists and the physicians at St
Marys hospital say she Will recover
The family was discovered by Mrs.
Rheinar's two brothers who had met her
husband the street and from his pc
culiar actions imagined the couple had
had trouble. They went up to the house
to investigate and found them all in one
room, which was full of gas.
Mrs. Rheiner made a statement to the
officers admitting killing the children and
said she wished she was with them She
confessed to having had domestic
troubles but stated that they were not
entirely responsible for her deed It Is
believed that Mrs Rheiner is insane Her
husband has not been found since the
crime was discovered and she says that
he has not been at home for three days

G. A R. TO BUY IT.
Will Purchase Lieut.. McTaggart's Pic
ture, if Public Will ASSIST.

Coffeyville, Sept. 2S.-At a regular
meeting of Coneyville Post No. 1873 G.
A. r., the post decided to take charge of
the purchase of the picture of the late
Lieutenant w. A. McTaggaFt, and pre-
sent it to his mother. The picture now
hangs in the postofice. The movement
to purchase it was started by William
Stewart, a member of the post. The
public will be asked to contribute to-
ward the fund to purchase the picture
and the C. A. r. post will supply the
deficiency.
Mr. McTaggart was a son of the late
Senator Dan McTaggart. He was sec
ond lieutenant of company C, Twenti-
eth Kansas, and was killed near San
Tomas, in the Philippines, May 4. The
picture which it is proposed to purchase
will form a suitable memorial for the
brave young officer and it's presentation
to his aged, widowed mother will con-
vey to her some idea of the high respect
and esteem in which her son was held
by his fellow citizens

Few Return to Work.

Leavenworth, Sept. 28-About 20 col

morning in the Leavenworth company 5
shaft accepting the pay of 20 cents per
ton for screened coal
a meeting held last night was ad-
dressed by James Boston, Milton Reed
and J. C. Mclaughlin and the main
body of the miners resolved to stay out.
A considerable number of miners
have gone elsewhere for employment
and about so families are being cared
for by the aid committee to whom or
ders are given by the families for pro-
visions and supplies that are furnished
al the stores. The committee meets eV-
cry morning at Labor hall At the
meeting this morning about $25 worth

KANSAS NEWS.
The Shelters at Weir City
Compelled to Close.
High Price of Ore and Gas is
the Cause.
THROW OUT 200 MEN.
Who Monthly Draw in Wages
the sum of $4,000.
The Pittsburg and Girard
Works Also to Close.

Weir City. Sept. 2s.-The smelters at
this place viii close down about the
first of the month. This report has been
current about our streets for some time
but lacked confirmation. Tuesday how
ever, word was received that as the
ore on hand became exhausted the fac
tory would close completely.
The company has been working only
half blocks here for nearly a year and
the order to let the others out was no
surprise to a great many. This means
much to Weir City, as it will throw
about 200 men out of employment, and
together with the strike will have a
very depressing effect. The capacity
of the factory when working full force
is about 30, 900 pounds of spelter a day
which was one of the largest in the
country. There are six blocks, with two
furnaces to the block besides the kilns
and other departments
The 200 men drew in wages about
81, 900 per month which was spent with
outlook is very discouraging for the
starting up of the works soon, as the
smelters here have both the gas fields
and the extreme high price of ore to
contend with and it is not probable
that they will resume operation until
some radical changes have been made.
The closing down of these works is GER
tainly a deplOrable misfortune for both
the smelters and the city generally
speaking. It is also rumOred on good
authority that No works at Pitts
burg, the Girard works and those at
Rich Hill, Mo, will also be shut down
the first of the month.

PoPUL1sTs OF RUSSELL
Explain by Resolution Their Stand
on the Philippine Question.

Russell, Sept. 28.-The Peoples party
Of Russell county held it's tenth county
delegate convention to nominate coun-
ty officers last Saturday. A resolution
was passed requiring the central COM
mittee to provide for nominating the
county ticket of 1900 by popular vote at
the primaries with a provision to pre-
vent nominating minority candidate.
The war resolution was:
We believe in a policy of peaceful ex-
pansion that shall raise the Stars and
Stripes over every foot of territory on
earth, the inhabitants of which desire
the protection of the American eagle,
but we are eternalIy opposed to the
armed conquest of any territory as con-
trary to the enlightened spirit of this
age and in subversion of the principles
upon which the Great Republic is
founded. We favor extending the bene-
fits of American freedom to every peO-
pie that seek for and appreciate them,
but we denOunce all attempts to subju-
gate any people to an American yoke,
however light, as destructive to the
tenets of Democratic faith. We glory
in American spirit in freeing the West
Indies and the Philippines from the
yoke of Spain, and we heartily thank
the heroes of army and navy in that
war, and especially those of our own
citizens in Russell county for their eff
forts in the recent war. We further
hope that the work done shall be still
carried on to the uplifting of these peo-
pie to the level Of a true American.
We believe in a fuller expression of
the popular will by the election instead
of appointment of all important officers
from nation down to township, and a
fuller rule by the people through direct
legislation under the initiative, the
referendum, proportional representation
and the imperative mandate.

WELCOME TO DEWEY
By His Fellow Churchmen In Session
In New York

New York, Sept 2S.-A large part OF
Bishop Potter's address before the
Episcopal convention was devoted to
the question of divorce and the remar-
riage of divorced persons. The bishop
commented upon the increasing num-
Der of such marriag in the diocese
and in the country at large and the
growing disregard of the Sabbath both
in the United States ard Europe. He
also urged the necessity of uniformity
in the laws of the several states upon
the subject of marriage and divorce.

county jury, the Trego county papers
have been excoriating the jury. Sigler
shot and killed a tenant with whom he
had an alteration near WaKeeney
and the case was taken to Ellis county
on a change of venue The jury got even
with the Trego people by saying that
the state presented no evidence that
would warrant a conviction and that
two important witnesses of the trag-
edy who had been brought from a dis
tance were never put on the stand, and
they further hint that the prosecution
did not want to convict Eigler. Some if
their belief of his guilt but say they
had no evidence before them when sent
to the jury room. AS the jurors are
among the most conscientious and re-
putable men of the county they are in
eensed at attributing the alleged mis-
carriage OF justice to anything wrong
on their part, and have issued reply
in the papers to the Trego aspersions.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
am a Republican and don't want to
create a dissension, but the best way
for the governor to knock that Fun
ston boom in the head is to come over
and branch, instead of gadding around
over the state talking to campmeetings
and EpWorth leaguers and introducing
Bryan to make PopuliSt speeches in Chi
cago. The fact that Bryan was wildly
applauded and that three-fourths of the
audience left as soon as he finished
looks like it was Populist gathering

had to look twice to see across the street

It is said that an Atchison woman
