REPUBLICANS OBJECT To MERRI-
ANS CENSUS POLICY.
POP TO CONTROL PATRONAGE
CONGRESSMAN RIDGELY To NAME
THIRD DISTRICT MEN
Wires Kept Hot Yesterday Carrying
Protests to shington-LeIand
Suggests Rejection by the
Senate of Merriam's
-, Appointments.

TOPEKA, June 29-(Special) The Re-
publicans around Copeland county were
somewhat exercised to-day upon the re-
ceipt of telegram from Washington stat
ing that Governor Merriam, director of the
census, had decided to let Ed Ridgely, the
Pop congressman of the Third district,
name the census supervisor and enume-
rators of that district. Protests against
the proposed action were sent to Washing
ton by the score this afternoon. The
wires were kept hot. Senator Baker pro-
tested not only to Merriam but also to the
president. Lit Crum, who lives in the
Third district, also sent a personal mes
sage to the president. BriStOW Will call
upon Merriam and the president tomorrow
and explain in detail the necessity of CIV
ing the Third district jobs to Republicans.
Cy Leland says the enumerators must
be confirmed by the senate and that Sem
ator Baker can prevent the confirmation
of Ridgely's appointments. He says that
If Merriam persists in letting Pop and
Democratic congressman name census ofi-
GERS in Republican states the Republican
senators ought to form a combine and re-
ject all of Merriams appointments The
Republican leaders are all the more sur
prised over the receipt of the news because
six weeks ago Merriam told Senator Baker
that he could name all of the supervisors
in Kansas.
The only explanation they can offer as to
why Merriam has changed his mind is
that Senator Baker has been so slow in
making up the Kansas list. They believe,
however. that Merriam will reverse him
self when the political conditions in the
Third are explained to him, and that he
win permit Senator Baker. to dispense

Commissioners Worcester Denies
Tale of Barbarity Told by
Kansas Soldier.

CHICAGO. June 29.-Dean c.. Worcester,
member of the Philippine commission, to-
day cabled the Times-Herald, denying re-
ports that Filipino prisoners were shot by
order of American officers. This was in re-
sponse to a cable inquiry sent by H. H.
kohlsaat, as follows:
Worcester, Manila:-Charles Brenner,
Minneapolis, Kas, writes home: Company
1 had four prisoners and did not know
what to do with them. They asked Cap
tain Bishop what to do. He said: "You
Gable the truth.-Kohlsaat."
Commissioner Worcester's answer fol-
lows:
~ Manila, June 2S, 1899.
Editor the Times Herald, Chicago
The original statement of Brenner Is un-
true. Brenner'S charge was promptly in
vestigated by the military authorities here.
No facts were ascertained to support the
charge at the time of first inquiry, but the
investigation has been renewed and is being
prosecuted vigorously and extensively.
This investigation has not yet been COM
pleted.
Brenner's charge has some semblance of
truth, for the reason that 1t is now believed
that two prisoners were shot in the heat of
battle for refusing to pass to the rear when
probed to the bottom. 1t is an isolated
case.
The inhabitants of the towns recently
captured had been maltreated, robbed and
left destitute by the insurgents.
The natives rejoice at the arrival of the
American troops, who neither burn their
homes nor loot their property, and who
| feed the hungry.
The inhabitants are resuming their or
| dinary occupations and are ready to CO.
| operate with us.
The wounded insurgents are brought to
Manila, where they receive the same care
| and attention as our own wounded.

A LIVE STOCK CENSUS.
Effort VIII BE Made to Have 1t Taken
Under the 1900 Gem

DENVER, June 29.-In the monthly bulle-
tin of the National Live Stock Association,
issued to-day, it is stated that the pros
poets for having thorough and classified
census of the live stock of the country
taken next year are brighter than at any
time in the past. At the annual convention
of the association, held here last January,
strong resolutions We're adopted on this
subject. Replying to these resolutions and
the accompanying letter, which were sent
him, Secretary James Wilson, of the de-
partment of agriculture, says:
With regard to the census of domestic
animals, we have never had such a thing
since the United States was a nation. I
have not been able to get hold of Governor
Merriam, the new director of the census,
but Will begin a correspondence with him
and see If it is not possible to get some
body appointed and put in charge of agri-
culture in the census who has some con-
ception of agriculture. 1t will be a new
thing, of course, If We succeed in getting
that done, and I assure you 1 will make
every effort to that end"

Everybody in the West is for McKinley's

for his denomination, of course. / feel that
both the extreme rapidity with which the
country has gone up the path of prosperity
under President McKinley's administration
and the conduct of the war in the Philip-
pines make it the duty of every man to

must smash out this insurrection there by
force of arms and then we can consider

eral friends, arrived at the Grand Central
station shortly after half past o'clock

asked about his trip the governor said:

TESTING NEW EXPLOSIVES.
Government Experimenting With
Thorite, Jovite, Emmcnsite
and GuncOttOn.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Important tests
with thorite. new high explosive, are
being conducted by the hoard of ordnance
and fortifications at the Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds. Little is known in the war
department of the characteristics of the
new explosive. 1t is the invention of Pro-
fessor Tuttle, Of Oregon, who asserts that
1t is perfectly safe, and was willing some
weeks ago to put 9.ce Teahot poker in
done without causing it to explode. 1t is
believed to have picric acid as its base
Tests Of the explosive by the inventor are
said to have been very satisfactory, and
has been seeking.
Besides thorite, the ordnance department
of the army has been experimenting with
jovite, emmensite, dry and wet guncotton,
paying more attention to the last named
explosive than to any other. So far none
of them has given the results desired be-
fore adoption for service use.
Captain William Crozier. military attache
of the American delegation to The Hague
conference, was instructed several weeks
ago to stop in England on his way home
of liddite and the secret of the fuse used
by General Kitchener's army in the Soudan
with such excellent effect. 1t Is untrue
that he has been directed to contract for
any quantity of the explosive.
Military officers in England have appar-
emily been unable to secure all the in
formation concerning the explosive the au-
thorities would like to have. 1t is recalled
that emmensite discovered in and used by
France. was kept secret, but this govern.
ment finally obtained information of its
ingredients and has been testing it for
some years at Sandy Hook.
Tests of jovite were made by the army
officials several years ago and were not
very successful. The navy department has
tested jovite with considerable success, and
If 1t keeps satisfactorily it may be adopted
by the naval service.

THERE is NO HURRY.
General Otis VIII Not Need Any More
Troops Until the Rainy
Season Ends,

General Otis Will Not Need Any More
Troops Until the Rainy
Season Ends.
WASHINGTON, June 29-The first volun-
teers to be raised for service in the Phil
ippines will be those for the skeleton reg
iments now being formed by General Otis.
1t Is not believed there will be the least
difficulty in obtaining these men. 1t is
probable that some time will elapse before
the troops of the provisional army are sent
to Manila, but, meanwhile, they will be
drilled and taught craftsmanship in camp.
1t is estimated that three months are re-
quired to make soldiers of recruits. The
officers of the war department think that
number of volunteers now coming home
Will desire to return to the Philippines for
short service after they have had an OPP
portunity to see home and friends. These
men are regarded as the most desirable for
the regiments being organized by General
Otis.
1t is learned at the war department that
there Is no rush to get the new organlZa-
tons to General Otis at the present time.
The rainy season having set in, it is not
believed that these troops will be necessary
Tor service, except to relieve those who
have been on active duty.
Th transport service Is said to be suffi-
cient, though ships may be chartered tenn
porarily If needed The announcement tina,
a portion of the provisional army was 10

to be sent to the war department by those
who are seeking commissions in the new
regiments.
There are two regular transports now a,
San Francisco, the Pennsylvania and City
of Para, one sailing June so, and the other
July u. carrying fifty-five officers and 2,3OC
men. The Zealandia. Sheridan and Valen-
cia with fifty-siX officers and 2,S7s men, are
on the way to Manila. and are expected to
arrive between July 20 and 26. There are
now on their way from Manila, the Ohio

WAsH0UTs IN TEXAS.
Railroad Traffic Demoralixed All Over
the Southern Part of the
State.

AUSTIN, TEX, June 29-All South,
West and Central Texas has to-day been
visited by terrific transforms, which have
practically tied up all the railroads in this
section of the state. The Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas and the Houston & Texas
Central are the principal sufferers. Quite
number of bridges on both roads have
been washed away, tying up the roads
most effectually. This morning the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas and the Santa Fe
both used the Houston & Texas tracks in
to Houston from connecting points on their
lines, but this afternoon the water has
risen so rapidly in the Brazos and several
other rivers that part of the Houston &.
Texas track is also under water, making
the progress of trains exceedingly danger-
Gus.
Many hundreds of acres of farming land
in South, Texas are under water tonight
and much cotton will be badly damaged.
She International g. Great Northern rail-
road has suffered considerable damage by
the loss of several bridges and all their
trains entering this city to-day are from
ten to eighteen hours behind. The rain
has ceased, however. and 1t is thought the
worst is over.

SHOE FACTORY OF THE MICHIGAN
REFORMER SHUT DOWN.
MEN DISPLACED BY BOYS
THIS LED TO A STRIKE AND THEN
TO A COMPLETE LOCKOUT.
Employees Complain Because the Usual
Wage Scale Has Not Been Fixed
and Because Use of Union
Stamp Has Been Dis
continued.

DETROIT. June ga complete lockout
IS in effect this afternoon in Pingree &
Smiths big shoe factory, employing up
ward of 600 people. The only work in prog
ress is that necessary to clean up the ma
chimes. The trouble was forced by strike
this noon of employees of the turning and
welt departments. Three weeks ago the
factory started new machines in the shoe
turning department which are operated
partly by boys in place of men. The Shoe
makers union decided that unless higher
wages were paid in that department the
upward of 100 men employed in the turning
and welt departments would quit to-day
The company announced that If these men
went out the entire factory would be shut
down.
The employees also complain that, while
the Pingree company and its employees have
hitherto fixed the scale of wages for the
year in May, this was not done this year.
Last pay day the company notified all en-
ployes that 1t had discontinued the use of
the union stamp.
The company gave out signed state
ment this afternoon TO the effect that its
agreements with employees cannot apply to
work undertaken by new methods, which
are yet in an experimental stage. 1t states
that the benefits of the union stamp are
found TO be not commensurate with its in
eonveniences, but that the company expects
10 treat with its employees as formerly.
Frank C. Pingree this afternoon said that
reasonable time would be allowed the strik-
ers for consideration, but that, rather than
suffer long shut down, the firm would en-
pfoy non-union men to fill the strikers
places.

of urging all zinc ore producers to 5oin the

two weeks. in accordance with the asso-
cations order and thus force the zinc
smelters to pay schedule prices. At pres
ent about 30 per cent of the plants I'm the
district are shut down. Many speeches
were made. advocating united action upon
fhe part of the miners to force the smelters
to terms. Some of the speakers favored
making n standing price fer zinc ore and
making the price of ore control the price OF
spelter. The mine owners are standing TO-
gether and say they will get schedule prices
or export all Of their ore to Europe.
