THE CHINESE BILL.


Washington, April 19.-1'he Amcri.
can Federation Of Labor executive
council was in session all yesterday.
A conference was held with Congress-
man Kahn, of California; Edward j.
Livernash, of the California Chinese
exclusion commission; A. Furuseth,
Thomas +. Tracy and the executive
council, upon the subject of Chinese
exclusion, now pending in congress,
and several alleged defects in the
Platt amendment as adopted by the
senate were pointed out, particular
" that feature of the re-enactment
of the Scott act, the validity of which
is now being attacked in the SUI
preme court. 1t was decided that
congress be requested to re-enaco
the essential provisions of the Scott
act by the specific terms of the act
in regard to several provisions OF
that act, so as to lift it out of tho
realm Of contention to its legal ex'
istence or non-existence.

MIGHTY THIN DHFEHsF.
Junction City Health Officer Claims
Mysterious Disappearance.

Commenting on the story Of the
tramp in the Abilene pest house who
says that while afflicted with small
pox he was shipped here by junction
City health officers, the Union Of that
City says:
1.-The facts Of the incident as far as
junction City or DR.. Daugherty are
concerned are as follows: Sunday
evening some one reported to DR..
Daugherty that man who was brok.
en- out with smallpox was on one Of
the roads leading into town. The
doctor Immediately set out to make
an investigation. He met the strang.
or and was convinced that the man
was afflicted with the disease as was
reported to him. As junction City
has had no smallpox in the past year
it has been without pest house, and
in the disposition OF this case the
doctor was consequently in guam
dairy. He requested the stranger to
remain where he was while he (the
doctor) would make arrangements to
care for him. While DR.. Daugherty
was looking for place to put him
the man disappeared and his where
abouts was entirely unknown until
the information came from Abilene
that he had arrived there. The doc.
tor says there is no truth in any part
Of the mans story at Abilene con.
corning his treatment here. While
talking to DR.. Daugherty the stranger
said he was from North Carolina and
was bound for Wyoming. The doc
tor has not been member VI the
state board Of health since 1894"
This is probably the thinnest ex-
cuse that could possibly have been
concocted. The junction City au-
thorlties will, however, have q chance
to put it on record when County At.
torney Smith files few cases in dis
trict court to recover damages and
prosecuting the health authorities Of
Junction personally.

COL. cR0wDER's REPORT.


Washington, April 22.-The COM
plete report Of Col. Crowder, OF the
Judge advocate generals department,
upon his inquiry into the conditions
at Port Chalmette, whence supplies
are being shipped to South Africa =
now in the hands Of the president.
At the presidents suggestion certain
details we're added. An important
fact in connection with the document
is that it makes no recommendation
as to the treatment OF affairs at Fort
Chalmette; it is merely q statement
of the conditions there as they were
discovered by Col. Crowder.
The war department officials say
that in making this inquiry Col.
Crowder is a personal representative
Of the president and SO he is not
accountable to the department For
this reason they decline to make any
statement as to the character OF the
report. 1t is said that the document
will be laid before the cabinet at to-
days session.

ELEPHANT FLAGGED TRAIN.
Engineer on Rock Island Mistakes
Animals Trunk for Arm.

The Rock Island engineer who
pulled the special train Of the Gentry
shows in Oklahoma tells a story that
for its uniqueness is worth repeating:
He had coupled onto the train and
was pulling out just about daylight
one morning when coupling on the
baggage car began to give trouble,
refusing 10 lock securely and several
stops were made to try and adjust
the matter, but without success, so
he finally continued on his way with
instructions to the conductor to sta
ton a hagman on top of the car to
signal in case she broke in two again.
They were speeding along at the rate
Of thirty miles an hour when the en-
gineer CHANGED to look back and saw
as he supposed the long arm Of the
brakeman waving the stop signal
Enthusiastically from the side OF the car
and he applied the air brakes with
such force that nearly everyone on
the train was thrown from his berth.
The train crew hurried forward to
ascertain the trouble, and when told
by the engineer, each in turn de.
clared be had not given the signal
and the engineer was being chaffed,
che boys claiming that he had seen
ghost, but be stoutly maintained that
he got the stop signal from the bag.
gage car and turning around ex-
claimed: There it is now," and the
amazed crew saw long arm thrust
from the car and waving up and
down in manner used by trainmen
to indicate stop. A hurried inves.
tigation solved the mystery. Pinto,
one Of the herd Of baby elephants
with the show, had thrust her trunk
out Of the ventilator and in the dim
morning light the engineer had mis-.
taken it for the arm Of the hsgman.

MUSTN'T CUT THE POLES.
Injunction Issued Against Newbern
Township Farmers.

George Hersh and John Reeves Of
Newbern township have objected to
the location OF the telephone poles OF
the Independent long distance line.
Today c. L. Brown secured a tenn
porary injunction against them to re.
strain them from cutting the tele-
phone poles. The case will be heard
later.
Hersh and Reeves are trustee
and road overseer and have complain.
ed that the poles were in the road.
The telephone company claims that
it has a right under its charter to
place poles six feet or less from the
fence line and that these are, only
three or four feet. When the com.
pany refused to move them, over a
mile and half Of poles we're cut
down, wires were cut and the line
ruined. The poles being cut in two
are worthless. 1t is probable that a
damage suit will follow.

MANY HORSESPERISH
Fire at the Kansas City Depot
Carriage Company.
NUCH HAY and FEED CONSUMED.
All the Harness In the Place Destroyed
The Mules and Draught Horses In the
Basement Saved Flames Probably
Started by Electric Wires.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 19.-ln a
fire that destroyed the stables of
the Depot Carriage and Baggage com
pany at Seventh street and Broadway
early last evening 40 or more horses
were burned to death. No accurate
estimate Of the total loss could be
secured last night, but it is prob
ably between $4,000 and $4,000. The
first alarm was turned In at COG
o'clock, and five minutes later the
fremen who had arrived on the scene
sent in a general alarm. The worst
feature OF the fire was the burning
to death of many carriage horses.
An hour after the fire the general
estimate Of the stable employees was
that more than 40 horses were dead
in the ruins of the building. Most
Of the fine rolling stock, cabs, car
riages, victorias and landaus Of the
most modern and expensive pattern,
were saved by the efforts Of the en-
ployes, aided by the men Of the in
surance patrol. All of the harnesses in
the place were destroyed. At 1880
this morning it was thought the num-
Der Of horses incinerated was be-
tween 40 and 50. Much hay and feed
was also consumed.
The flames started in a pile OF
baled hay In the northeast corner
OF the second floor and five min
utes after the tiny fame was seen
breaking through the roof the whole
upper portion of the place was burn
ing fiercely. How the fire started
no one knows. No smoking was per-
mitted among the employees in the
hay loft, and 1t Is presumed crossed
electric wires started the blaze.
The horses that were burned stood
in long rows Of stalls on the second
floor. The mules and draught horses
were kept in the basement. The sec
ond floor was reached by long in
clined gangways. The carriages and
other rolling stock were on the first
floor. The company owned about 200
animals, including 20 mules. The We
hicles consisted of 80 fine carriages
and about rs heavier vehicles. The
mules and draught horses in the
basement were all saved, as was prac-
tically all the rolling stock on the
first or main floor.
Spectators saw horses appear at
the windows with flames oil about
them. The hremen heard their
groans. But death came soon to
them, for the whole floor where they
