HEAVY RAINS IN KANSAS.
Damage Being Done to the CrOps-Much
Harvested Wheat In POttawatomIe
County Under Water.

Topeka, Kan, July 2.-The ex-
cessive rains are doing much damage
to the crops of Kansas. In Potta-
watomie county over 700 acres of
harvested wheat are under water.
The water reaches almost to the
top of the shocks of wheat and much
of the cereal will be destroyed be-
fore the water recedes. The rain
throughout the eastern portion of
the state early yesterday morning
amounted to almost a cloudburst.
Corn and other crops are making a
good growth, but the fields are so
wet that they cannot be cultivated,
and the crop will therefore not make
nearly so much as was indicated by
the prospects two weeks ago. There
seems no immediate prospect of re-
lief from the wet spell.

BODY SERVANT WINS CASE.
Wyatt Ryans, a st. Louis Negro, Secures
Judgment for Taking Care of His
Former Employer.

st. Louis, July 2.-Final judgment
has been rendered by the court of
appeals at Jefferson City, whereby
Wyatt Ryans, the old negro body ser
want of the late DIR. Charles II. Brad
ford, comes into possession of 1888.
The claim of Ryans against the es-
tate of DR.. Bradford has been in the
courts for several years. When it
was begun it attracted a great deal
of attention by reason of the peculiar
circumstances surrounding the case.
DR.. Bradford had been an invalid for
several years before his death and
required the services of a body ser
want. No regular wages were paid
Ryans, who sued after his employers
death with the result just mentioned.

TIE LONG SESSION IS ENDED.
Both Houses of the FIrty-Seventh Com
Gress Adjourned Tuesday Evening at
$3.50 O'Clock-The Closing Scenes.

Washington, July Both houses
of the Fifty-seventh congress adj
journed at $50 Tuesday evening.
When the senate convened Tuesday
at II o'clock, for what appeared to
be the closing session of this term
of the Fifty-seventh congress, there
were no Indications of the exciting
scenes of Monday. Mr.. Bailey CTex.)
entered the chamber from the demo-
cratic cloak room soon after the in
vocation had been pronounced and
took his seat on the democratic side.
Mr.. Beveridge did not appear in the
senate in the early part of the ses-
sion.
Mr.. lodge, chairman of the commit
tee on Philippines, called up the con-
ference report on the bill to provide
for temporary civil government
for the Philippine islands. The agree
ment of the cOnferees, which already
had been published was read in full
and it was adopted by strict party
vote.
The conferees on the naval appro-
priation bill agreed on a compromise
on the disputed items as to building
warships in the government yards,
specifically providing that one battle
ship shall be constructed in a gov
eminent yard.
The house, which adjourned Mon
day night at II o'clock, met at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning. The chap
lain in his invocation prayed that all
the members might return in good
health to resume their duties in De-
cember. Immediately after the APP
proval of the journal scramble for
recognition began. Members with
small bills of interest to their con-
stituency were exceedingly anxious
to secure action upon them. and
dozen of them were almost constant
ly on their feet clamoring for oppor-
tunity to call them up.
The ways and means committee of
the house met at two o'clock and or
dered Chairman Payne to report the
adjournment resolution for $50 D.
m, although this was not done with
out sharp political division. Repre-
sentative Richardson, of Tennessee,
the ranking democrat, moved an
amendment allowing one week to
consider trust legislation. This was
defeated by a party vote.

A REMARKABLE SHOWING.
The Year 1902 So Far Noted for its Free
dom from Railroad InsolvencIes
and ReceIvershIps.

Chicago, July 3.-The Railway Age
says: The year 1902 has, so far, been
the most remarkable period in so
years of railway history in respect
to insolvencies and receiverships.
Since January 1 only one operating
Railway, the New York & Pennsylva-
MIA, So miles long, has been placed in
the hands of a receiver, and that one
broke all previous records for brew
ity of stay, the appointment having
made in February and the road hav-
ing been sold under foreclosure and
started for reorganization in May.
The receivership thus covered the
short season of four months. The
Railway Age, therefore, for the first
time in its history, cannot report a
railway for which receiver has been
appointed and continued in the cur
rent six months. During the 26h
years in which the record has been
kept it has shown the appointment
of receivers for $50 roads, covering
ia, 400 miles of lines and represent
ing stocks and bonds aggregating the
vast sum of Sc, 291 1891, 900.
In a single year, 1898, no less than
IA roads went into bankruptcy with
stocks and bonds. But since that
year of greatest financial calamity
failures have rapidly decreased and
congratulations have gone on at
equal speed, so that to-day the era
of railway receiverships may be said
to be ended.

RECIPROCITY DISBURSEMENTS
The sum of SI5,626 Was Used by Gen.
Wood to Promote Trade Relations Be-
tween Cuba and the United states.

Washington, July 2.-Acting Score
tary of War Sanger yesterday sent
a communi cation to the house of rep
resentatives in answer to the resolu-
ton directing the secretary of war
to furnish information as to what
amounts have been paid out of the
Cuban treasury or funds of the Gu
ban people to F. 3. Thurber, or any
other person, corporation or asso-
citation, for advocating reciprocity
with the United States. The answer
of the war department consists of
certified copies of vouchers covering
the payments referred to in the
resolution, amounting to $15,626.
These vouchers are accompanied by
a letter from Gen. Leonard Wood to
the secretary of war.
1.-The disbursements made" says
Gen. Wood, ''were by me as military
governor of the island of Cuba and
were made for the purpose of pre-
senting to the people of the United
States without reference to party or
section the desires of the people of
Cuba as to the trade relations which
should exist between that country
and our own. The action taken was
approved by the Industrial and COM
merciaI classes of Cuba. 1t received
the unqualified approval of the sec
retaries of the insular government
and was an expenditure of Cuban
funds for the purpose of promoting
Cuban interests"

Attempted a Singular Fraud.

In the district court of Wichita
county the other day J. w. Porter,
preacher-lawyer, of Leoti, was dis
barred from practice in Kansas.
Porter attempted one. of the most
singular frauds ever heard of in
Kansas jurisprudence. In Rush coun-
ty he had sued his wife for divorce.
When the case came on for trial he
appeared as his own attorney, rep
resenting himself to be S. F. Porter,
a brother of the plaintiff. He count
ed on the fact that no one in Rush
county knew him, but in some way
the fact that he was impersonating
his brother became known and then
disbarment proceedings were begun.
Porter had been preaching for the
Methodists at Leoti. After his dis
barment he left town without saying
good-by to anybody.-Kansas City
Journal.

FEDERAL LAW OFFENDERS.
Chief wnkIe. of the Secret Service DI.
vision. Makes q Report to SEQ
Rotary Shaw.

Washington, July 3.-The annual
report of Chief Will1ie, of the secret
service division, submitted to Score
tary Shaw shows that during the
year there were arrested 573 per-
Sons charged with various offenses
against the federal statutes, New
York leading with IS prosecutions.
OF the offenders Alb were of Ameri-
can birth, the next largest number
of offenders being Italians. Sixty
three per cent. of those arrested were
convicted. The report records the
fact that during the fiscal year but
one dangerous spurious note was put
in circulation, five-dollar silver GER
tificate, while there was only one
other even passah1e counterfeit, a
One-dollar silver certificate, whose
makers, with their complete plant,
were captured in Chicago the same
day they attempted to put one of
their notes into circulation. The re-
port refers to change and marked
improvement in the New York dis
tIict, where the circulation of ''all-
silver counterfeit coins has been re
duced more than so per cent, as COM
pared with the previous year.
Reference is made to the continued
activity among criminals who make
the raising" of notes a speciality,
and it is pointed out that this crime
might be prevented by the adoption
of a distinctive size for the notes
of smaller denOmination-the ones
and twOs, to be, say, an inch shorter
and one-half inch narrower than
those of five dollars or over.

MEAT PACKING INDUSTRY.
q Census Bureau Report for the Year
19OO-A Rapid Tendency to
Concentration.

Washington, July 3.-The census
bureau in report on the slaughter
ing and meat packing industry of the
United States for the census year
1900, issued yesterday, says that the
Development of this industry during
the last half century has been al
most phenomenal During that
period capital invested has grown
from So, 4S2, 500 to $1s9, 1913 1854; the
number of wage-earners from 3,276
to 6S,534, and value of products from
81, 1881, 642 to $7S5, 1862, 433. For 1900
the report shows a capital of $780,
198,264 invested in land, buildings,
machinery, tools and implements and
the live capital utilized. The value
of products is given at $Ts5, 562, 433,
which involved an outlay of SO, 1885,
PAT for salaries of officials, clerks,
etc; $33,457,013 for wages; $24,O6O,412
for miscellaneous expenses, including
rent, taxes, etc., and $6s3, SIT for
material used, mill supplies, freight
and fuel.
There were 921 establishments with
an average capital of $2O5, 427, against
LIS establishments in 1890, with an
average of $1O4, ISL invested per es-
tablishment. The figures show this
decade to be the most rapid in it's
tendency toward concentration in
this industry of all the periods COW
cred by census statistics. The num-
Der of women employed increased 1913
per cent. and their wages 1919 per
cent. The number of children en-
ployed increased 1873 per cent and
wages 176 per cent. since 1890. Illi-
nois led the states in the value of
products in both 1890 and 1900.
