New York, July 27=President SchWa b

CO.. office today where he had a talk
with Mr. Morgan, who had come to
town despite reports that he would not

East Liverpool and Wellsville street
car line have refused to stop their cars
to allow the mill workers to ride to and
from their work. They have also re-
fused to carry Manager Brookman to

WICHITA ICE FAMINE.
The Frozen Fluid Supply Is
Far Too Short.

Wichita, Kas., July 27-There is an
ice famine in the city and many of the
patrons of the ice man are greatly in
convenienced and some are injured to
a certain extent. Along Douglas ave
nue. great many stores where they
keep ice water fQx customers and en-
ployes to drink, were without ice. In
the south part of town the ice man
failed entirely to come around and
many homes in that section of the city
are without any way of preserving the
different necessary eatab bles supposed
to be kept in an ice chest
It is reported by several ice men that
the local ice plants were getting more
money for their ice by sending it to
Ell Reno and other southern towns and
that should be the reason of this ice
famine. Several summers ago an ice
trust was started in this city. and an
attempt was made to make the people
pay an exorbitant price for frozen
water. This scheme was nipped in the
bud by sending to Winfield for the
city's supply of ice, which delivered
cheaper at that time from Winfield
here than the local ice factories wanted
to sell it for

ing company at 1914 today. An i'm
mense crowd witnessed the launching
There was not a hitch to mar the sue
cess.
Kensington. wherein the ship yard is
located, took holiday and attended
the launch Thousands of persons from
other parts of the city were on hand
and as the yard was thrown open to
the public every vantage point in the
confines of the place swarmed with hu-
manity- The weather was beautiful.
The state OF Maine was officially rep
resented by Governor Hill and mem
bers of his staff. From Washington
came Rear Admirals Bradford, Mel
vile and Walker, Lieutenant Com
mander Bailey, Captain Leary, former
governor of Guam. and a number of
bureau chiefs of the navy department.
President Mckinley, Secretary of the
Navy Long, Admiral Dewey, Captain
Sigsbee and other naval dignitaries who
received invitations were unable to at
tend.
The ceremony of christening the ship
was performed by Miss Mary Preble
Anderson of Portland, Me- a descend
ant of the Preble family that has added
fame to the naval honors of the coun-
try.
All was in readiness as Miss Ander-
son stepped upon the stand erected at
the bow of the vessel AS the last tim
Der that held the ship was sawed in
twain and the vessel began to move.
Miss Anderson struck the bow of the
Maine blow with the bottle of cham
pagne and formally christened her. AS
the vessel slid off the ways a great
shout went up and every craft in the
vicinity began the footing of whistles
The Maine is 56 per cent finished.
Her keel was laid in April, 1899. and
the ship will be ready for transfer to
the government in 18 months or two

TROOPS TO LEAVE.
Agreement Which Means Allied
Powers Leave China.

New York, July 27.-Russia has ac-
cepted on trial the modified proposal Of
England concerning the method of pay
ment of the Chinese inderanity, SO that
at the next meeting of the representa-
tives of the powers at Pelxin a perfect
agreement can be come to-a thing
which up to the present time, has not
been possible, says the st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Herald.
This is the most important piece of
news since the commencement of the
troubles. because it means that a set
tlement has been reached, enabling and.
indeed. compelling the powers immedi-
ately to withdraw their troops in keep
ing with their promises thus removing
the chief obstacle to the return of the
Chinese court to the capital.
It will also prevent a renewal of the
serious outbreaks which, according to
excellent information, were sure to
have taken place If the present show of
foreign force had been maintained in
the Chinese capital In fact, this agree
rnent is looked upon as terminating the
complications in China.

STOLE $4,000.
Somebody Robbed the Paymas-
ter's Safe at Santa Cruz, ,P.I.

Manila, July 27.-During the pay
ment of the troops at Santa Cruz yes
terday $4,000 was stolen from the
guard house.
The robbery of the paymaster's safe
is supposed to have been the work of
soldiers. It appears that Major Cants-
bury who was paying the troops in the
Laguna district, left the safe in the
guard house, and that while it was
there the thieves succeeded in abstract
ing its contents. General Chaffee has
sent the chief of Manila detectives to
Santa Cruz to investigate the affair.
Chief Paymaster Tower was not ap-
prised Of the robbery until informed of
it by a representative of the Associ-
ated Press.
Later-Major Canbuy has telegraphed
to Manila from Santa Cruz that only
one paymaster's box containing 500 is
missing

SHAMROCK COMES.
Accompanied by the Erin Sails
Today For America.

Gourock, July 27.-The Shamrock H.
accompanied by the Erin, sailed at 1920
o'clock this morning for New York
Great enthusiasm was displayed as the
challenger departed.
Captain Sycamore desired to go out
under canvas, and he was favored
with light easterIy wind, sufficient to
keep the flags streaming in the direc-
ton the yachts had to sail. The chal-
lenger cut strange figure with her
stunted spars and scanty canvas as
she lay ready to start. At 10 o'clock
Sir Thomas Upton and Mr.. Watson,
the yachts designer, boarded her; and
few minutes later the challenger's
moorings were slipped, her head sails
broken out, and the Shamrock II start
ed on her voyage across the Atlantic.
Thousands of people gathered along
the shore and on the pier at Gourock
and greeted the yachts departure with
a great outburst of cheering, again and
again renewed. Hats and handker-
chiefs We're waved, guns saluted and
steam whistles and sirens shrieked.
The Shamrocks crew were all must
cred on deck and, led by Sir Thomas.
gave a hearty response to the greet
ings. For miles along the shore crowds
occupied every vantage point, and the
cheers passed from group to group un-
til the challenger with her racing flag
at the N asthead, and the Erin with
the stars and stripes flying at her fore,
disappeared from sight
Sir Thomas Upton remained aboard
the challenger until she was off Gu
meras when he returned on a tug
Before leaving he addressed the chal-
lenger's crew, thanking them for what
they had done already and wishing
them God speed on the voyage and a
SUCCESSFUL finish TO their task

SHORT OF MONEY.
The State Faces a Deficit of
$25O,OOO.
Warrants to Be Stamped ssNot
Paid For Want of Funds. .
LEVY rs TOO SMALL.
Mr.. Cole Has Not Yet An
nOunced the Figures.
Exact Shortage Can Not There
fore Be Determined.
Formal Statement of the Situa-
tiOn to Be Made.
LEVY is TOO SMALL.

The state board of equalization finds
that for the next two years the state
treasurer will have but $4,O00,0O0 with
which to meet 81, ESQ. 600 of appropria-
tions made by the last legislature The
Kansas treasury will have to stamp
$250,0OO in warrants unpaid for want
of funds and leave them for the next
legislature to dispose of.
The last legislature passed a law en-
powering the board of equalization to
make levy for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1902, not to exceed 81, 900. 900 and
to make the same levy for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1903 Heretofore
the legislature has made the levy but
now it has been taken out of the hands
OF the legislature and made part OF
the work of the board of equalization
but with the instruction as to the
amount that can be raised. Then the
legislature made appropriations
mounting to about $2,125,000 for each
year. State Auditor Cole has found
already that the appropria ations will far
exceed the levy but he has not yet an
nounced just what the excess of appro-
priations will be but the estimate of
s125.000 for each year is supposed to be
q fair guess.
Secretary Of State George A. Clark,
State Treasurer Frank Grimes and
State Auditor Cole are the members of
the board Of equalization and they are
preparing a statement to show just
what the financial standing of the
state will be- So far they have sug-
gested no remedy. The law says the
appropriations must be met and it
therefore means that the warrants
stamped unpaid for want of funds will
be taken up by banks at per cent
interest
Among the largest appropriations
made by the last legislature are the
following for buildings and improve
rnents.
