Worlds Fair Invitation.

St Louis. June 5.-David r. Francis,
president, and a delegation of the Loui-
siana Purchase exposition officials called
at the Planters hotel this forenoon and
met the members of the ROchambeau-
Lafayette party. who arrived last night.
After an exchange OF greetings the party
entered special electric drawing room
cars which conveyed them to the ad-
ministration building on the Worlds fair
site The visitors were driven over the
grounds and the progress of the work
explained.
At the conclusion Of the drive the
Countess de Rochambeau was escorted
by a committee of ladies to the residence
OF Mrs. J. L. D. Morrison for luncheon.
A reception. by the Daughters of the
american Revolution followed at the
home of Mrs. George H. Shields. The
remainder of the party proceeded to the
Country Club, where luncheon was
served.
Michael Lagrara, general commits
sioner from the French republic to the

exposition officials during his stay in
St Louis on the space to be given his
country, says that France, as the first

TO FIGHT MORGAN.
Cunard Line the Center of a
Rival Shipping Combine.

London. June 5-The negotiations of
the British and the Canadian govern
ments and some of the other colonial
governments, with the Cunard line and
other lines comprising what is now
termed the Liverpool syndicate, which
is opposing the Morgan shipping COM
bine, contemplate, according to the
Westminster Gazette, both a fast ser
vice of mail and passenger steamers. in
conjunction with the Canadian Pacific
railroad and a fleet Of fast freight
steamers. The mail steamers which it
is proposed to build, viii be Of enorm Gus
size, capable Of steaming 25 knots an
hour, and viii be fully equipped for use
as armed cruisers, carrying eight quick
firing six-inch guns forward and aft,
and broadsides of three 4.7-inch guns
The freight steamers viii be sixteen
knot vessels, carrying 5000 to 1000 tons
dead weight.
The Westminster Gazette thinks it
probable that Milford Haven viii be the
port Of departure of the fleet. The
scheme cOntemplates a line OF steamers
running to China, Japan and Australia.
from Vancouver, B. c. Canada and
Australia are expected to join in pay
ing the subsidies. The draft of the
scheme involves the home government
guaranteeing small interest on the
capital involved. This would have to be
ratified by the house Of commons,
where" says the Westminster Gazette,
1T viii probably meet with opposition. .

VROOMAN COMING.
Promises to Carry His Cooper
ative Campaign Into Topeka.

Walter VroOnan expects to extend his
universal trust and cooperative associ-
alton to Topeka and to open stores here.
P. H. SOuther. who has been interest
ed in Vrooman's work. saw him in kan
sas City and Mr.. VrOoman announced to
him that he would soon turn his atten-
ton to Topeka. Mr.. Vrooman is ready
to begin with his cooperative associa-
ton in Topeka as soon as 100 or 200
people signify their willingness to be-
come members Of the association" said
Mr.. Southers. THE people here are to
organize and as soon as that is done
Mr.. VroOman will come here and ar
range to either buy stores already in
operation or to open new ones. He will
open as many stores as he thinks viii
find business. If he thinks there is bus
mess for ten then he will have ten.
There is no scheme in this. but a busi-
ness proposition. Mr.. Vrooman does not
start the stores unless he sees business
for them. He has three large stores
in Kansas City. Mr.. VroOman will come
here as soon as the organization is per-
fected." It is likely that meetings win

and then demolished the wagon. The
driver was Robert Allan, employed Dy
Irwin Bros. The strike having been
previously settled and at that hour
awaiting only the ratification of the
Transfers unions the firm sent out a
wagon without a guard. At State and
Harrison streets a mob had collected
apparently expecting a repetition of
yesterdays disorders. Allan was hOrri-

said he probably would recover. A sec

AGREEMENT RATIFIED.
Chicago, June 5.-Five hundred team
sters assembled at Corcoran hall near the
stock yards at noon today and ratified
unanimously the agreement between their
this morning. The document was signed
by Albert Young, president of the Ma
tional Teamsters union, and John Myers,
president Of the local union 1t was then
taken by President Job of the state ar
bitratien board to the esevral packers for
their signatures The utmost harmony

of lie strike The men decided to re-
turn to work tomorrow I. orning-
The meeting lasted over two hours,
much of the time being taken up in
waiting for laggards to arrive. When
the agreement was read it was greeted
with cheers. The concessions made to
the packers were explained and the ex-
planation was applauded.
The concessions made by the packers
were likewise dilated upon and there
were more cheers. It was obvious that
the men were extremely content with
their fight and happy that the worst
riots in Chicago since 1894 had passed
into history.
John Myer. president Of the local
union, who read the agreement and did
much of the explaining, called for an
aye and nay vote. The chorus Of ayes
was deafening.

CHISHAM MAY GO.
AtchisOn Postoffice Fight Has
Commenced.


Washington, June 5.-There is a fight
Atchison. An effort is being made to de-
feat J. NJ. Chisham for reappointment-
Congressman Curtis says no action will
be taken concerning the matter for ten
days, and if a change IS made Mr. Ber-
man, an old soldier will be recommended
for the office.
There is also considerable speculation
about t e reappointment of D. R. Anth-
ony, Jr., to be postmaster at Leaven-
worth. Mr.. Curtis refuses to discuss the
matter, but it is believed that Anthony s
chances for reappointnent are not SO
good as they were before the Republican
state convention at Wichita. There are
three or four candidates for the place
No action will be taken before Anthony 5
term expires, which will be June e.
AS published in the State Journal sew
eral days ago, Congressman Curtis tried
to bring Atchison county. through CHS
ham, into line for Greer for chairman of
the Wichita convention, and he tried to
votes on the craftsmanship proposition
but neither was successful. As a conse-
quence it was reported that their respect

Whether Mr.. Curtis can afford to turn
down Anthony and Chisham remains to
be seen. He is regarded as q very shrewd
politician and he viii investigate matters
very thoroughly before he will take the
chances of developing q strong opposi-
ton to his senatorial candidacy in these
two important counties. and the removal
of Anthony and Chisham might do this.

new BUSINESS BLOCK.
Adams Brothers to Have Build
ing at Seventh and Jackson.

A two-story business block will be erect
ed at the northwest corner of Seventh and
Jackson streets at once. T. H. Lescher
is now at work on the plans and as soon
as they are completed and the contract
is awarded the work will begin. The
new building will take the place of the
Huntoon livery barn, which is a Topeka
landmark The property was purchased
by A. Marburg about a year ago.
The new building will be constructed
Tor Adams Bros. printers and manufac-
turing stattoners, and will be adapted es-
peclally to their needs There viii be a
frontage of so feet on Jackson street and
100 feet on Seventh and plate glass will
be used all around The work room viii
be arranged so hat there will be light
from three sides The cost OF the new
building viii be about 5000.
The new building is made necessary be-
cause of the growth of business. For
eight years the firm has occupied the
III Kansas avenue, but it was necessary
to ind larger quarters and Mr.. Marburg
agreed to erect a building especially for
the use of the firm New machinery and
new presses will be added and the new
building will be occupied about October Is.
The firm of Adams Bros. is a good ez1-
ample Of what can be done by energy
and enterprise. It is composed of two
brothers. Charles P. and Guy D. Adams,
who started a small printing office in the
basement at the northeast corner Of SeV
enth street and Kansas avenue in 1890.
They soon outgrew their quarters and
eight years ago moved to their present
location, and the present move is the
natural result of their thrift.

TAX MEN TO BE HERE.
Win Meet to Complete Revision of
State Law.

alterations in the proposed new tax and

morning of June 10 At that time the
commission will hear any kicks" that
may be presented against the proposed
law, and consider any suggestions that
may be made for its Improvement.
After the suggestions are all in the
commission will go over them and make
such alterations in the proposed law
revised shape the bill will be submittal
to the legislature.
If the bars are thrown down and ev-
erybOdy is allowed to make sugggeS-
tions concerning the law, as the COM
mission now proposes, it viii have
more trouble on its hands than a school
book commission. There is as great a
difference of opinion over the proper
method of assessment and taxation as
there is over the enforcement of the
prohibitoFy law People only agree on
one thing in connection with tt-that
the present method Of assessment ought
to be changed. If there is any part of
the pre- osed law that does not suit the
corporations, they will bring pressure to
bear on the commission to have it
changed, and the commission is bound
to have trouble of all kinds. It must
complete its work by July l. however.

Santa Fe Strike at San Bernar-

BOilermakers From the East

TROUBLE Is FEARED.
Strike May Extend to Lines

Strikers Served With Written
Notice Of Discharge.

San Bernardino. Cal, June 5.-The
Santa Fe company Wednesday night
brought in a carload Of boilermakers
from the east who viii be set to work
at once unless this is prevented by the
strikers. It is said that another car
load viii arrive tonight.
The strikers were served with written
notice from the head Office Of the rail-
road company this afternoon that they
were discharged. Trouble is feared
It Is evident from the above dispatch
that the strike at San Bernardino has
not been settled. as was stated in the
dispatches a few days ago.
The local officials of the Santa Fe are
not posted on the progress of the strike,
as Superintendent of Motive Power
Henderson IS the only system Official
having anything to do with the matter
whose headquarters are in Topeka Mr..
Henderson is now at San Bernardino,
trying to fix up the troubles with the
men
There are some who believe that the
strike may extend from the coast lines
to the main lines, in which case the To-
peka shopmen would be involved. but It
is hoped this may be averted-
Local employees Of the Santa he me-
ehanieal department are taking great
interest in the progress OF the strlk5
of boilermakers in the coast line shops
Owing to the fact that many haave IN
duired as to Just how much firSU-claSS
Southern Pacific in their shops at differ
ent points along the two systems a
comparison Of the wage scale may prove
interesting.
The pay given to the frst-class boiler
makers on the Santa Fe along the coast
lines at points similar in location To
San Bernardino. Los Angeles and Point
Richmond is $3.50 per day. At points on
the Southern Pacific line. similar in To-
cation, that company pays its first-class
boileruakers $3.50 Der day
At points on the Santa F'e similar in
location to the Needles that company
gives to its f1rst-class boilermakers Ss-7 ;
per day. The Southern Pacific. on the
other hand, gives to its first-ciass boiler
makers, situated at points similarly ie-
Gated to Needles. such, for instance IS
Tucson, Arizona, and FL Paso Texas
the sum Of 81 per day.
And what has been stated with re-
gard 10 boilerma kers wages holds goQ3
with regard to the wages paid men pf
all other departments. namely. carpem-
ters, nachinists and biacksmiths. Ta9t
IS to say, the wages paid by the SAINTS
F'e to men working in these different
/ departments are lower in proporti0a
than those paid by the Southern Pa
cific company.
This is the point which made UP the
grievance of the shop men at Needles

eventually be brought to the attention
of the proper officials by all Santa Fe
shop men on the coast lines
