Hoyt informed the Treasury department
that Leland was the best man for the
place, and no one else wanted it. Mr..
Leland was custodian of the federal
building at Leavenworth when he was
collector Of internal revenue and had
good record for economical management
of the property.
Mr.. Leland says: II am not certain
I will take this appointment. The posi-
ton of custodian is nuisance and there
is nothing in it. AS to the probability
of my reappointment as pension agent,
1 know nothing. If President Mckinley
wants me TO take another term I would
be glad to be reappointed, but If my APP
pointment would embarrass him and he
prefers to put in some one else 1 will
cheerfully step out. It is not matter OF
great consequence to me, and have had
no intimation from the president as to
his probable action. I am not bothering
him about it. When he appointed me
four years ago, he said that he did not
consider the pension agency as senator
ial or congressional patronage, and
presume he still takes the same view
of it."

ASKING FOR A LOW RATE.

Railroads Requested to Make Low
Rates for Harvest Hands.
Topeka. Kans-. May ia delegation Of
men Infested in the harvest hand ques-
ton. fom Pratt and Pawnee counties,
called on the roads here yesterday for
the purpose of asking that a low rate be
made for the purpose of bringing help
into the state to assist in caring for the
wheat crop. Some have placed the num-
Der required for this work outside the
state as high as 10000 men. Mr.. Gerow.
Of the State Employment agency, has
not been talking as though that many
would be needed.
Passenge Agent back Of the Santa Re,
in soaking Of the matter. said:
THE men viii be needed mainly in the
central and western part of the state;
about 20 600 OF them it is estimated. The
railroads win do their utmost, Of course.
and they are likely to make q very low
rate. We viii go about this in syste-
matte manner this time Last year in
some parts of Kansas too many men were
imported and in other portions there was
a scarcity.
I'VE are sending out to all our station
agents ulIeCUOuS 10 ascertain as near y
as possible the number of men needed in
their localities. Where none is needed,
of course, none will be sent. What we
are anxious to secure is definite informa-
ton.
Mr.. Blaine, of Pratt county Informs
me that he believes 10000 outside men
can De given employment for about ninety
days from June 10. These men VIII be
needed in cutting. stacking and thresh-
ing the wheat OF course. can not say
Just what rates the ailroads viii adopt,
but shall suggest that the ate be cent
mile to parties of five or more travel
ing together. I am proceeding on the
theory that many thousand men will be
needed, but it may develop later that
afte a careful canvass is made that the
demand has been exaggerated. Mr..
Blaine came very close to his estimate
last season and 1 am inclined to think
that he is about right this year"
