MR.. JOHNSON EXPLAINS.
Says That His Figures Are Very
Stale.

State Labor Commissioner johnson
says that the figures of Topeka's manu-
factures given in his bulletin for 1901,
which We're recently published in the
State Journal and to which Major T.
j. Anderson took exception, were the
figures for 1900. In a communication to
the State Journal he says:
sOn my return to the Office yesterday,
after an absence of several days, my at
tention was called to an article In the
State Journal of July II. under the cap
ton of Topeka Near Top purporting
to be review of the Labor Bulletin
issued by this bureau. also an interview
in the State Journal of July Is with
Major T. ]. Andersen. under the head
of Called johnson Down. in which I
am taken to task for presenting some
manufacturing statistics for Kansas, as
issued by the United States census bu-
reau for 1900, and especially as relating
to the manufacturing statistics for To-
peka.
IT desire to state a few facts which
seem to have been lost sight of in the
presentation of this matter In the State
Journal:
First prepared no statement Of
any kind for publication in the State
Journal, or any other paper.
"Second-Each reporter calling at the
Office was given copy of the Bulletin
and left to tell his own story.
''Third-The chapter on manufactur-
ing statistics is comparative review of
and does not pretend to be anything
else. The error that Is the key note to
the misstatement was in accrediting the
statistics of 1900 and referring to them
as last year statistics, instead OF max
ing q comparison of the progress of
Kansas manufacturers for the last 40
years, as the Bulletin undertakes to do.
"Fourth-The last legislature made
the reports of this bureau biennial, thus
making our next report for the years
|! 1891 and 2 appear early in 1903. the tabu-
lated matter of which is now In process
Of preparation. That report will deal
with statistics for the years 1901 and 3,
as provided by law. The Labor Bulle-
tin is not a report, but an editorial
summary of the industrial conditions OF
which only a few pages were devoted to
the comparison of manufacturers for
the last 40 years, as shown by the Uni
ted States census.
1.-THE officers of the bureau Of labor
have always sendeavored to present reli-
able and authentic up-to-date statistics
on whatever subject undertaken and we
believe that if but curs0ry examina-
| ton of the Labor Bulletin had been
! made, the error in accrediting these sta
tistics published in the State Journal to
last year instead of 1870 as the bulle-
tin shows, it would have been avoided.
'I trust that YOU will do me the JUS
tice to give this the same circulation
that the other articles referred to have
had. Yours very truly.
wv l. A. JOHNSON,
Commissioner of Labor"

The last gun in the Democratic
campaign was fired last Friday even
ing when Elisha May of St. Johnsbury
and I. W. Moloney of Rutland spoke
in the Auditorium. The audience was
large and there was more enthusiasm
than has been seen at any previous po-
ltical gatherings. Mr.. May in his bluff,
way told a few truths
about state expenses while Mr.. Mo
loney showed up the unconstitutional
ity of the referendum in a convincing
manner. The final gun of the Repub-
licans was discharged Monday evening,
Senator Proctor, Col. Haskins and j.
L. Martin were advertised to speak but
only Mr. Martin was on hand. He
spent the greater part of his time try

Nav said about him and incidentally
said a few things about Mr.. May. The
audience was made up mostly of wo-

HARD FIGHT AT SEA.
North German Lloyd steamer Disabled
 tn MEd-Ocean.

1 Halifax. N. S., Feb 26.-The big twin | screw steamship Neckar of the North 1 German Lloyd line, with her propeller
 disabled, was conveyed into Halifax | harbor this evening by the steamer Karlsruhe, of the same line, and the
 British steamer Malinhead, of the Head
 line The Neckar and the Karlsruhe
 are both from Bremerhaven for New l York with a combined passenger list of | 2,500 people. The Malinhead and the Karlsruhe fell in with the Neckar on the same day that the accident happen
 ed, and both stood by the diseabled ves- | sel
 | The MaIinhead was bound from New Orleans for Havre The Neckar came into port under her own steam after battling for nine days with the gales that swept the North Atlantic.
 In one of these gales both propellers were disabled and the rudder shaft broken. Assistance came in the nick of time. The Karlsruhe, of the North
 German Lloyd line, was at hand, and in
 response to the signals for assistance stood by. Eight times connections were made between the two big steamers and as many times the Karlsruhe lost her
 tow. The storm blew with fury day af- ter day Time and time again after the lines parted the Neckar drifted at the mercy of the wind and waves. But Cap tain Harra ssowitz stuck to his post and the Neckar was brought safely to Hali- fax, sometimes in tow of the Karlsruhe and sometimes under her own steam, and always conveyed by the Karlsruhe and the Malinhead.
 The officers and crew had a thrilling experience for the nine days that they battIed with the clements. For the first four days not man of the whole crew got more than half hours sleep and from the time of the accident Cap tain Harrassowitz slept but two hours.
 The Neckar came into Halifax under her own steam the towing hawser be- ing carried away from the last time off Sable Island and weather condi- tions wolud not permit connection to be made again.
 Three blades of the port propeller were carried away one and half of the starboard propeller and the rudder shaft is broken in two places. The Karlsruhe sustained much damage about the deck and she will be obliged to remain here for several days to ef- feet repairs. The first and second of ficers of the Karlsruhe and the boat swain received serious injuries. The passengers on the disabled steamer are all well and none the worse for their exciting experience. The Neckar will probably be detained here for six weeks. The captain is awaiting in- from the owners as to the transfer of passengers to New York

THOMAS 4. M'CAFBREY DEAD.
Proprietor of tho Globe Hotel Expires
 After an Operation.

Thomas A. McCaffrey, proprietor and l owner of the Globe hotel at the corner I of Wooster and Union streets. died at l Grace hospital at 1130 last night of ufemic poisoning. MT. McCaffrey had not been in very good health for some time and under the urgent advice of his physician went to the hospital yes- terday morning to submit to an opera t1on. This was successfully perform ed, but the patient was too low to with | stand the shock. He seemed to rally at first, but later commenced to sink and despite all efforts gradually but peace
 fully passed away. His sisters were at his bedside when he died.
 The deceased had been connected
 with the Globe hotel for many years
 He first started work there in 1877 and
 continued until 1887 when enabled by
 his industrious and saving methods he
 bought the place. From that time on
 by careful application to business he
 made financial success of his venture.
 His many years experience in the hotel
 business made him large number of friends, both in and out of the city and it is doubtful if there is any one in this "S$'iSii oL ANCN I1iiS itiilli WllO lo DGlltI known among the theatrical profession
 He was highly esteemed by wide cir cle of friends in this city, He was a member of the Elks, and although of rather a retiring disposition was held by many as a sincere friend and advis- CT. He leaves three sisters to mourn his loss. Maria, who ably assisted him in conducting the hotel, was.a twin sis- ter to him; Charlotte E. and K A., the other sisters, lived with him at 13 Lam- berton street. Charlotte is school teacher and Katherine a dressmaker.
