LAST TO LEAVE.
Twentieth Kansas Nay Not Get
Home Till Late in the Fall

TOPEKA, July l4,-Replying to
Governor SANKEY'S inquiry as to the
time the Twentieth Kansas will leave
the Philippines, Russell A. Alger, Sec
rotary OF war, first informed the gov
ernor that owing to the fact that the
Twentieth was next to the last regi-
ment to arrive at Manila, it will
probably be the last to leave, about
Sept. l.
The governor received last night
another message which follows:
The Twentieth Kansas is now the
fourth regiment to leave Manila. 1t
is impossible to fix the day of its de.
parture, as this is entirely in the
hands Of Gen. Otis. The moment
we have detinate information it will
be communicated to you"

ing in Russia.
SUPPRESSED BY TROOPS
Wholesale Destruction of Property-So-
cialist and Revolutionary Agita-
tors Are Active-The Press
Is Gagged

London, April 6.-The St Petersburg
correspondent of the Times telegraphs
an alarmist statement regarding the
spread of serious labor troubles and
strikes in. the manufacturing districts
of Russia. Ominous rumors, he says
are in circulation in St Petersburg-re-
ports of troops sent to suppress out
breaks, of the wholesale destruction of
property of numerous arrests and of
the gagging of the press-yet not half
of what is happening reaches the ears
of the capitals.
Towns, mills and factories, the CORE
spondent declares, are literally mum
dated with secret, socialist and revo-
lutionary proclamations by agitators
who are undoubtedly assisted from
