CANT STAND GATES.
Selfgman and Strauss Resign
From Steel Trust Directory.

New York, May AT today's meeting
of directors of the American Steel and
Wire company Henry w. sSeligman and
Frederick W. Strauss resigned from the
board. Subsequently the following was
made public:
ITO the board Of directors, American
Steel and Wire company: Gentlemen
We have today resigned from the di-
rectory of the American Steel and
Wire company because Mr.. John W.
Gates did not at today's meeting retire
from the management of the company,
as we had been given to understand
that he would
Our reasons for continuing to act as
directors until now may perhaps de-
serve further explanation On the
morning of the April meeting of the
board we received assurances from
sources on which we thought ourselves
entitled to rely, that the resignation of
Mr.. Gates as chairman would be offered
about May l. While it is true that con-
tinuing in the board we exposed our
selves to possible misconStructiOn. we
riSked this in the belief that by delay
we should accomplish that which every
one must recognize as demanded by
the best interests of the company,
namely, Mr.. Gates retirement from the
mana cement; and we realized that I'M
der the bylaws Of the company to
force Mr.. Gates retirement was prac-
tically impossible, and that these as
surances promised more substantial re-
suits than the contemplated attempt to
force his immediate resignation Mr.
Gates however continues to control the
company, and under these circums-
| tances it becomes impossible for us
| longer to continue in the directory; and
| in order that the stockholders of the
company may fully understand our rea-
! sons for continuing in the board and
! for resigning from it, we shall give such
/ publicity to this letter as we may think
| proper. Yours truly,
HENRY SELIGMAN.

ing of 2S0 of the enemy and the wound
ing of two Americans. At daybreak on

built trenches on the outskirts of the
town during the night and fired vOlleys
persistently into it until the Americans
charged the trenches, scattered the Fill
pinos and killed 135 of them. Two Am
orleans were wounded. This attack was
precipitated by the enenly's successful
fight at Catubig. The garrison of Catar-
man has been removed to the seaport of
Laguan.
A force of Filipinos estimated to num-

HERE IS REFORM.
Theatrical Managers Combine
Against irresponsible Shows.

Chicago, May 7.-Twenty-seven theater
managers from as many prominent cities
in Illinois and Indiana, have formed them
selves into an association that promises
to have a far reaching effect on the
amusement of the people of the two
states. 1t will be known as the Illinois
and Indiana Theatrical Managers assoc
citation, and one of its chief purposes will
be to shut out the swarTns of irresponsi-
BILE shows that float about the country.
The organization IS novelty in it's way.
1t is the first attempt to bring in one CO.
operative body q number of independent
managers and the first effort the lone
night stand manager has ever made to
protect himself against the imposition of
cheap shows and at the same time stand
in a position to command the attention of
good attractions. A booking agency will
be opened in New York. J. T. Henderson,
Bloomington, Ill. was elected president
H. G. Somers South Bend Ind. secre-
tary, and T. J. Graves, Evansville, Ind,
treasurer.

BOXERS HAVE A PULL.
Dowager Empress of China on Thei
Side.

New York, May IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Information has been received at the
state department from United States
Minister Conger showing that the
Tsung -li-yamen is making a show of
endeavorfng to suppress the anti-for-
eign societies of China. Nevertheless, it
is apparent that the boxers, encouraged
to believe that the empress doWager is
secretly befriending them, are not re-
taxing their activity. The acting COVER
nor of Shan Tung province, through his
subOrdinates, recently communicated
with the heads of the different mis-
sions within his jurisdiction, suggesting
that the missionaries should not come
and go as they pleased, but should con-
fine their journeys into the interior to
occasions when they were absolutely
necessary, and in each case apply to To-
cal officials, who would provide them
with a small guard.
In case any of the missionaries re-
fuse to comply with this request, and
trouble is created by the BOXERS" the
instruction continues, "the local officials
cannot well be held responsible for their
safety"
The missionaries assert that this in
structiOn is a crafty move on the part
of the acting governor to prevent the
spread of Christianity. If the mission
| aries are confined to their missions they

to the mercy OF the anti-foreign socie-
1 ties. It is understood that the matter

TWO BARNS BURNED.
Lightning Causes Destruction
During Today's Storm.

Two barns were struck by lightning

half tons of baled hay in the barn and
the fire had the building partly con-
sumed before the department arrived

east of town was struck by lightning
at about the same time and totally des-
troyed. There We're over five tons ofloose
hay in the barn. The horses and wagons

A SEVERE BLOW
To the Naval Militia Scheme Dealt
by New York.

Washington, May THE most severe
blow which the naval militia. movement
has received since its conception several
years ago is said by the navy depart
ment officials to have been administer
ed by the adjutant general of New York
in a letter just received announcing that
the New York state naval militia would
not accept the navy departments offer
to make their annual practice cruise on
the Prairie this year The reason as
signed for the abandonment of the
cruise is that the New York organiza-
ton desires to devote it's time to work
with the small boats and "Reminiscences
along shore. AS several state organizaz
tons also have declined to accept the
navy's aid this year the officers inter-
ested in the movement are discouraged
and are inclined to revert to the alter
native reserve project
The New Yorks were scheduled to sea
on the Prairie early in August. The
abandonment of their cruise and SINH
lar action by some of the southern
states will lead to a general advance
ment of the remaining dates for prac-
tice cruises of the state militia organi-
cations.

CONFLICT IN SIGHT
Between the Two Houses Over Naval
Appropriation Bill.


New York, May IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
II the naval appropriation bill in the
senate passes that body as reported, 1t
is promised that there will be con-
hict in the house and in conference over
several of the senate amendments. The
refusal of the senate to authorize the
erection of the barracks to take the
place at New York and Mare Island of
receiving ships. although a diSappolnt-
ment to Rear Admiral Crowninshield,
who made trip to Europe to get the
ideas embodied in the provision which
has been stricken out,win not be so Wig
OrOuSly contested as some other items.
AS to the allowance of $3.50, 600 to ex-
pertinent on the new monitors with the
Galmann gun, which is intended to
throw shell loaded with 500 pounds of
wet gun cotton there is grave doubt of
its getting through, the bureau of ord
nance having at different times reported
so doubtfully about the merit of the gun
as to lead the house to refuse the ap-
preparation sanctioned by the senate
committee on naval affairs.
The marine corps is in a state Of agi-
tat1on over the amendment of the SEN
ate directing that after the passage of
the act no further additional appoint
ments of officers or enlistments of nom
commissioned officers and men shall be
made for the marine corps. The corps
now has brigadier general and a very
large and heavy staff and the supply of
! Objects ana men authorized unQef the
last act charging the branch of the
| service has not been obtained
The appointments last authorized
were guarded so as to insure the selec-
| ton in large part of those who had
| seen service during the Spanish war
| but the assumption of the senate COM
mittee is that the marine service is
/ large enough and should not be increas-

gress and may be relied upon to sus-
/ tain its importance and Re
growth by every means known to its

from Washington
How a Little Boy was saved.

Washington, D. c." When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with rash which was thought to
be measles. In a few days he had
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but / would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of a case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l decided to
give it to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that I stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon / again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished COM
plete cure. do not think there will be
even a scar left. I cannot speak too
highly of Hoods Sarsaparilla and rec
ommendi it everywhere 1 get chance. !"

TAKES SEATON'S HOUSE.
Atchison Opera House to Be Managed
by e. S. Brigham.

The Atchison theater. one of the hand
soonest play houses in the state, has
been leased by Mr.. E. S. Brigham. He
will assume control September 1, and
Atchison people may reasonably expect
to secure a list of good attractions IN
der his management.
Mr. Brigham formerly made Topeka
his home, and is a brother of Mr.. R. S.
Brigham. He managed the Crawford
theater in St. Joseph for several years,
and during that time booked attractions
for the Crawford circuit of theaters-
Last year he managed the Elroy Stock
company, one of the better organiza-
lions of that class touring the east, and
at the same time maintained super
visory charge of the theater at Hot
Springs, Ark. He is thoroughly enter
prising, and will undoubtedly become
well known as a successful theatrical
manager.
Mr.. Brigham retains the management
of the Elroy company and the Hot
Springs house and may have other the
alters in charge before the opening of
the season.

Considering the example set by the
national house of representatives, the
action of the Kentucky legislature in
turning out of office those who were
rightfulIv elected does not stand out
so prominently as a subversion of the
popular viii as it might otherwise do.
For years it has been the practice of
which ever party found itself in control
of the national house to unseat num-
Der of gentlemen elected by the oppo-
sition, the number being governed more
or less by party necessity. It has come
to be regarded as a matter of course
that If either Democrats or Republicans
find themselves after a general election
in control of the house by a slender
margin that enough members of the
other party viii be unseated to render
the majority safe at all times Such
action is an example of arbitrary power
which the Kentucky legislature has
seen and followed. It. is not remark
able that it should do so. Other states
have done the same in regard to legis-
lative members. and the action Of the
Kentucky law-making body in turning
down an entire set of state officers
shows what a bad example may lead
to- and is a warning of worse to come
unless there is reform in the election
laws all along the line.

From all over the country comes a
cry for women to perform domestic
service. The complaint is made by
many writer's in the newspapers that
women have forsaken this class of serv-
ice for employment in stores, offices
and factories. These complaints are
made in a fault-fnding spirit. and wo-
men are made the subjects of appar-
emily undue criticism. All sorts of evils
are predicted as sure to follow a con-
tinuation of the existing conditions and
tendencies. In looking for the causes
which have produced the present stu
alton in the circles of domestic labor
nobody appears to have discovered the
main cause nor the logical remedy
Like most labor troubles, this one ap-
pears to US to rest mainly on the ques-
tion OF hours and wages. Women will
not work IA or Is hours a day for three
dollars a week if they can get the same
wages for working 10 hours at some
thing more congenial to their taste. If
people want women for domestic serv-
ice they must shorten the hours of la
Dor. raise the wages, or both. There is
no kind Of labor so hard on nerves and
body as homework, and none so poorly
paid.
