CAN'T BE MADE FAST ENOUGH.
A Lack of Sufficient Engrayers Ties
Up Fifteen Million Dollars in
National Currency.

Washington, May 15.-Over 1000
banks will have to be supplied with
lew currency plates as an effect of
the currency act of March IA, and it
will be four TO six months before all
can get their new money engraved.
There is now about S15,000,000 due
the banks in currency tied up because
il can not be engraved until new
plates are made. The regular force
of engravers at the bureau of print
ing and engraving and all the addi-
tional engravers that Assistant Sec
rotary Vanderlip has been able to
hire are working overtime right
along. The best that the bureau can
do is to furnish fifty plates weekly.
There will be no relief, as the en-
craving division is being crowded to
it's utmost capacity. Engravers can
not work more than twelve hours a
day on account of the light. The de-
partment can not get engravers to
leave good jobs to come here for work
that will take only a comparatively
short time.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
The Governors Action in Calling
Ont $500 Extra Police in ST. Louis
Has Complicated Matters.

ST. Louis, May 15.-President Mahon,
gamated Street Railway Employees,
who is here managing the strike, in an
interview, said: THE governors ac-
ton in calling out $500 extra police
has complicated the strike situation.
1t was unwise and uncalled for action,
and bellies his attitude of only two
days ago when he said that the situa-
ton did not justify such measures as
he intimates may be expected.
while his precipitate course is in
itself surprise, his new way of deal
ing with the situation was not unex-
pected. 1t has not strengthened the
railways position. Does the governor
take the responsibility of ordering
the forces at his command to shoot
and club into submission American
justice and freedom?"
II am afraid the governor has made
the task of the citizens committee all
the more difficult, Everything was
proceeding nicely when the new order
came like a clap Of thunder. l am very
much afraid it has spoiled the chance
of arbitration"
In reply to the statement of Mr.
Mahon, anent the calling for $500
! special policemen, Gov. Stephens sale
Monday: Il called for the men be
cause thought they were needed, ant
without consulting Mr.. Mahon about
it. talked with the police board, the
chief, the captains and the other head!
of the police department, and they
thought the situation required this &C
ton, so | took it. | think these men
who live in st. Louis, know the con
ditions here better than does Mr.. Ma
hon, who Toes not live hsre. There
fore I did not consult Mr.. Mahon, no
do | intend to do So"
II. w. Steinbiss, national secretary o
the Building Trades Council of Ameri
ca, made the statement that Monda,
nights meeting was called because o
the action of Gov. Stephens, in order
ing the additional police here.

RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
William Willis. COlored Murderer,
Taken From the Officers and Put
to Death Near Augusta.

Atlanta, Ca, May 15.-Gov. Gambler,
upon the request of authorities. has
ordered four companies of state
troops stationed at Augusta, Ga, to
hold themselves in readiness to pre-
vent the lynching of William Willis,
a Negro, who killed Alexander Whit
ney Sunday night. 1t is reported here
that serious trouble is feared in Au-
gusta, as the people are determined
to revenge the death of the young
man. The trouble arose on a street
ear, where the Negro, unable to get
seat, sat in Mr.. Whitney's lap. The
Negro shot Whitney, causing almost
ms ant death. Officers who arrested
Willis started to Savannah and At
lanta for safety, but were prevented
by two mobs which watched their
movements. The Negro is now held
in Augusta.
Augusta, Ca, May 14.-After Gov.
Gambler had ordered the militia to
prepare to protect William Willis
from a mob, the coroner of this (Rich-
nond county, was notified that Willis
was taken from a Georgia railroad
train en- route to Atlanta by a mob
and held in the woods during the
night awaiting identification. A few
minutes after 10 o'clock Monday
morning an attempt was made to
lynch him, the rope, however, broke.
Willis fell to the ground and was in
an instant riddled with bullets. A
placard was pinned on him giving
warning to like offenders. The cor.
orer will investigate.

SOON TO MAKE ARMS.
Rock Island Arsenal to De Equipped
for the Manufacture of
Guns.

Owing to mistake in an estimate
made last year by the ordnance bu
reau of the war department, the Rock
Island arsenal has not been equipped
for manufacturing small arms. and it
will be necessary to secure an addi-
tional appropriation at this congress
before the work of installing ma
chinery will begin. A movement of
this kind is on foot, and one of the
general appropli aticn bills win car y
an appropriation of at least $5Cf +"
600, so as to enable the war depart
ment to place the machinery in the
buildings at Rock Island for the NAM
ufacture of small arms of the la! est
pattern.
Last year the house committee on
military affairs asked the ordnance
bureau to prepare an estimate of
cost for equippng those bui' dings.
This was done. and the amount was
fixed at $350,0O0. This was apprcpri-
ated last year, and is now at the dis
posal of the secretary Of war Con-
gress had hardly adjourned, however
when it was learned a serious mistake
had been made in the estimate, and
that $4,000 would be needed instead
of $350,0OO. As the amount at the dis.
posal of the secretary Of war was less
than half of that required. it was
decided to do nothing in the matter
until the money necessary to fully
equip Rock Island should be appro'
priated by congress
Col Marsh, who was instrumental
in having the original appropriat or
made, and Representative Cannon
chairman of the appropriations com
mittee, now have the matter in hand
and it is quite certain the deficit vii
be made up, and during the summer
the work of equipping Rock Island 70,
turning out about 100000 Krag
Jorgersen rlaes will begin.
