A HINT TO GERMANY.
Secretary Wilson Says Some
thing About Discrimination.

Washington, March 2S.-The session
of the cabinet today was largely taken
up in discussing the details preparatory
to the withdrawal of the United States
from Cuba.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson made
a statement regarding the discrimina-
ton by Germany against American food
out that the German analyses of these
food products undoubtedly were very
severe and indicated that if similar
analyses were resorted to by American
coming into the United States millions
of dollars of German goods would be
shut out of the country every year.
The position taken by Secretary Will
son is regarded as mild intimation to
Germany that the present situation can
not continue

NO FRANCHISE YET.

The Kansas City, Vinewood and To-
peka electric railway people have not
yet secured a franchise which will war
rant the bonding of the property toward
securing that $150,000 which they pro-
pose to spend in our suburbs. The at
torneys of the company undoubtedly
made. an honest admission, though one
that may have been slip of the tongue,
when they stated that if a clause were
inserted in the charter or franchise
which would prevent the Vinewood
company from having any connections
or association with the Kansas City line
they would be unable to bond the road
for the purpose of raising the necessary
funds. This is one of the things that
the State Journal has been trying to
show to the people of this community
was the exact situation.
We do not believe that the attorneys
intended to have admitted this but they
did SO at the council meeting neverthe-
less. They seem to think there is a diff
ference between a side agreement which
can be lodged, evaded or reorganized,
and a similar agreement welded into
the charter and franchise of the COM
pany with the penalty of FORGETTING OF
all rights if the franchise privileges
were not lived UP to-

MIR. LYLE LOOKS 1T OVER.
New Yorker Thinks Wheat Crop Will
Be Less Than Last Year.

Oscar X Lyle representing the MeIn-
tyre and Marshall produce exchange of
New York City, is in Topeka today aft
ter a trip of a weeks duration through
the large wheat producing counties of
Kansas This is Mr.. Lyle's second visit
to Kansas and from information which
he has gathered from over the state 1T
is quite apparent the wheat crop in
Kansas this year will fall short of what
it was last year.
Il was not able to spend enough time
in the state to make personal eXamlna-
ton in enough localities to personally
Judge the prospects of a crop this
year." said MIR. Lyle, but judging from
reports I received in the territory / Wis.,
tied and from personal investigation
and reports L have received from other
portions of the. state, it would seem that
the crop this year win be only from so
to 20 per cent.
Il am satisfied the Kansas crop will
be smaller this year because from out
ward appearances, the stand of wheat
has been injured. OF course at this time
it is hard to judge what the crop will
be- 1t may yield more or 1t may yle!d
less than the estimates made at this
time"
While he was in Topeka Mr.. Lyle
called on Secretary Coburn of the state
board of agriculture and Major T. ].
Anderson, government crop statistician.
Mr.. Lyle was generous in his COM
ments upon the usefulness and the COM
prehensiveness of the reports complied
by Secretary Coburn.
Il think / may say it is only putting
it mildly to say that Secretary Co
burns reports are the most cornprehen-
siVe. brief and altogether the best that
are issued by any state in the Union.
Many states do not issue such re-
ports and 1 have seen none that COM
pare favorably with Secretary COburns
reports"
Mr.. Lyle reported that he found only
one locality infested with the HeSsian
fly and that was on patch of wheat in
Mcpherson county. This patch of wheat
did not come under Mr.. Iyle's personal
observation but was reported to him.

LEAVE IT TO GOMPERS.
Brewers and Their Workmen Reach
an Agreement.

workmen of Cincinnati, Covington and
Newport will be declared off tonight.
The contending labor organizations all
agree to abide by the decision of Presi-
dent Gompers as rendered last night in
favor of the autonomy of the brother
hoods of engineers and firemen and also
criticising strongly the action of the
engineers and firemen as well as the
United Brewery workmen. Since these
contending unions have been brought
together negotiations are pending today
with the prOprietorS of the brewerieS
who insist on taking care of the new
men recently employed. AS several hum
bred of the old men have gone to other
cities, notably Chicago, st. Louis and
Milwaukee, it is believed that an ar
rangement can be reached which will
soon settle the controversy which has
disturbed this district for months.

CLOSES NARROW ESCAPE.
Caught in Prairie Fire and is
Scorched.

Col Fred Close arrived in Topeka to-
a narrow escape from being burned to
death while fighting prairie fire be-
tween Hays City and Smoky Hill. He

ears and hands. and his handsome
white whiskers were badly singed.
Mr. Close had his adventure on
Thursday March 20. He went out from
Hays City to help fight prairie fire.
With him he. HAD a team of horses.
The fire burned down a draw behind
him, and before he knew it came
sweeping down on him. He made a run
to rescue the horses. which were hitched
near by. He got one of the horses I'M
tied, but could not unite the other, and
had to turn and fight out the fire to
save the horses. His clothing took fire
and he had a hard time to save himself
and the horses. One of the horses got
out safe. but the other was badly

VETOES ANOTHER.
The President Continues to Sit
Down ON DeserterS.

Washington. March 2S.-President
Roosevelt today sent to the house veto
of the bill for the relief of Emanuel
Klauser from the Charge of desertion
The president says this bill. like the
senate bill in the case of James w.
Howell, not only authorizes the presi-
dent to act but also orders the secretary
of war to revoke and set aside the order
approving the proceeding, findings and
sentence of a general court martial and
to grant an honorable discharge.
1T appears to imply" says the presi-
dent. 1.-The possession by congress of the
power of overriding and reversing by
statute e valid judgment. If it did not
do that it was simply an exercise of the
pardoning power. 1t is questionable
whether congress possess either of these
powers and when the bill C.-Scted the
secretary of war to revoke an order.
congress in fact did the thing which it
ordered him to do

LIVELY TIMES IN LABETTE.
Republican County Convention Prom
Uses Much Excitement.

1t looks as though there might be
strenuous times in the Labette county
Republican convention tomorrow. In
the F. rsons primaries a few. days ago
the Foley faction was defea ted in near
ly every ward and in one ward there is
a contesting delegation. w. J. Bailey
went down to Labette county from Con-
cordia yesterday morning to help in the
anti-Foley fight, and there are rumors
that Bailey may get some friends on
the state delega ton.
George E. Cole, who has always count
ed on Labette county as his private
property, answered a hurry call and
went down there himself when Bailey
was discovered in that part of the state.
Troutman will also be on hand at the
convention tomorrow, and with Pete
Foley and Lit Crum at outs and fight
ing one another, and three candidates
for governor on handl it is not likely
that the convention will be a sleepy one.

IGNORES 1T.
Will Have Nothing to Do With
Christmas Case.

Washington, March 2S.-The state de-
partment will take no steps to bring to
the attention of the Danish government
the charges against the integrity of
American statesmen preferred by Capt.
Christmas and yesterday brought to the
attention of the house of representa-
tives The department regards the
charges as unworthy it's attention by
reason of insufficient evidence and
obvious errors in statements of alleged
fact. TIL department is perfectly aware
also that the Danish government does
not intend to pay one cent of the $780,
600 claimed by Christmas as his COM
mission, that of course none of that
money could be used to corrupt Ameri-
can statesmen and newspapers.
