WALKER TALKS OF LABOR.
Says Employers Should Pay Highest Wages Possible.

Milwaukee. June s-The National Foundrymen's Association met in annual convention here today. The first session was devoted to routine business includ- ing the annual address of President W. A Walker of Boston In the course of his remarks Mir. Walker referred to the re- fation between manufacturer and em- ploye. He said:
 We shall come to understand in the future that a manufacturer should be willing to pay the highest wages that the state of the industry will permit; his workmen are his partners; why should their welfare not concern him even more than that of his customers?
 Tt may be well to inform employees relative to the business details of any enterprise. The professional labor agita- tor is a logical product of the time; em- ployers should make him unnecessary and we shall hear no more of him. There is a reasonable and proper place for the real labor leader. one who by nature and edu- ciliate; who is honest. sincere and all ways fair; who understands business and the position of business men.
 This ideal labor leader as I have des scribed him is a more highly idealized product of civilization than the average employer of the present time. It is ex- pecting too much that he should mate rialize at once but in time he should ap- pear and I believe will do so Employers should first themselves show him the pat tern in the conduct of their own business. Neither the laboring man nor his repre- sentative can be expected to advance Tn these matters until employers have ad- vanced first"

KANSAS GOVERNOR MARR1Es.

 His Election.

Kansas City. June s.-willis J. Bailey, Governor of Kansas. and Mrs. Ida B Weede were married in the First Congre- gational Church in this city this even ing J.

Cafferty. the latter the Governor s only sister John Albert of Seneca. Kas., father of the bride. and Mir. and Mrs. Potts of Kansas City
 Immediately after the ceremony MT. and Mrs. Bailey left for Topeka. It had been Governor Bailey's intention to make a trip to his old home in Illinois, but this was postponed because of pressing bust- ness relating to the flood.
 An interesting incident of Governor Bailey's recent campaign was a story to the effect that he had promised to marry if elected Governor. After his election he was the recipient of letters from women in all parts of the country offering them selves in marriage. Governor Bailey said today:
 Long before the election Mrs. Weede and I were engaged to be married. 1 neV- CT made a promise with any one that l would take wife if were elected Gov ernor of Kansas. That was a story start ed by some of my Kansas friends They meant 1t in a good natured way. but l really had the joke on them"
 Mrs Weedes maiden name was Ida All bert Her first husband was real estate man who died five years ago. Mir. and Mrs. Weede lived formerly at Yuma, Colo, and Fairbury, Neb Mrs. Weede met Governor Bailey at Baileyville, Kas., where she went to live after her husband g death. She has two children.

GORDON AND ROOT
LETTERS AS TO ROSTER OF FIX.
 CoNFEDERATES.
Secretary of War Finds Pleasure in Contributing Toward the Further Advancement of Friendly
 Relations of the Sections.

Washington. June st-sAfter the clooe of the Confederate reunion at New Orleans there was an exchange of letters between Gen. John B. Gordon. Commander in Chief of the United Confederate Veterans, and Secretary Root. General Gordon write:
 My Dear MT. Secretary:
 Please accept from me and the United Confederate Veterans whom I represent an assurance of our sincere appreciation of your generous course In urging the provision for a roster of all ex-Confed- crate as we'll as of ex-Union soldiers.
 At our recent reunion in New Orleans our indebtedness to you was expressed by formal resolution, unanimously adopt ed. The readiness of all Confederates to cooperate with you was also fully ex- pressed"
 Secretary Root, under date of June 6, replied follows:
 My Dear General Gordon:
 T thank you for your kind letter of May 2S, advising me of the gratifying way in which the Confederate Veterans look upon my course in regard to the publication of roster of ex-Confederate and ex-Union soldiers. I beg you to be- lieve that I fully appreciate and highly prize this expression. I think that next to the splendid fighting that was done on both sides of the civil war, the re-estdb- lishment of friendly relations and com mon sympathes between the two sec tons within the lifetime of the very n.en who fought so desperately against each other is high title to respect for Amer jeans by all the world. It Is very great pleasure for me to be able to do any thing which may contribute towards the further advancement of these friendly re- lations."

IS ORDERED TO MANILA
MAJOR HoWZE DIRECTED TO PROCEED TO PHILIPPINES.
Outcome of the Charges Made By Hunter Against the Texan. Latter's Vindication Complete
 in Every Detail.

Washington, June 9.-(Special. )-Accord- ing to the text of War Department re- port bulletin today, Major Robert L. Howze, Porto Rican Provisional Regi- ment of Infantry, has been ordered with out delay to Manila for duty with cer- tain investigations ordered by the Secre- tary of War"
 It is we'll understood in army circles that the investigations referred to win involve the propriety of the conduct of Major w. K Hunter of the 18th Cav airy, the officer who fathered the charges against Major Howze, of which he was recently completely vindicated
 Major HowZe was never courtmartihled' his superiors having abundant reason to discredit the e%denCe, but demanded an investigation. Hunter worked up his case against Howze through the testimony of Filipinos. The vindication of HowLe came from his own comrades, officers and men alike. 1t has proved the most re- markable case of vindication of an dc- cused officer in recent history.
 Howzes talents, daring and good Judg- ment had won him rapid promotion dur ing the Filipino insurrection, and he had jumped ahead of Hunter his senior in years, who was fin the same depar .rnent in the Philippines. Hunter was not Cnly sore over it, but went to work in a crafty way to undermine the Texan. Be- ing from Ohio, when Governor Taft reached the islands. Hunter immediately wrote him under the guise of friendship and called his attention 10 the alleged dereliction of Howze. He kept this up with other letters.
 When the general officers learned the methods Hunter used they 'eprimanded him for not using the regIllr channels for making his complaints. The testi- mony of the surgeon of the expedition fin which Howze and Hunter served de- clared that the latter was jar. orunk- ard and coward

RAILROADS SUFFERING
SOUTH CAROLINA FLOOD CAUSES
 THEM INCONVENIENCE.
Southern Has Made Repairs Suffici- ent to Operate its Trains From
 Washington to Atlanta Over Regular Track.

Columbia. S. C.. June 9.-The railroad situation tonight is not improved so far as Columbia's connection with upper South Carolina is concerned. Neither the Southern's tracks between here and As ton. nor the Columbia, Newbery aMd Lau- rens trestle here has been repaired. The Southern may get train through Thurs day, but the other road cannot do so be- fore Friday.
 The Columbia. Newbery and Laurens train today from Greenville and Spartan burg came to Irmo, ten miles above Co., lumbia, and on the return trip carried about thirty passengers who went to Irmo in private conveyances from here. The Southern Is operating its trains on the Greenville branch as far down as Alston, twenty-five miles above Colum- bia and on the Spartanburg branch as far as the broken bridge over Broad riv- CT at Shelton. forty miles above Colum- bia.
 The Seaboards trestle over Broad riv- CT, near Carlisle. is not yet repaired and through traffic over the Atlanta and Hamlet branch is not attempted.
 The Southerns trestles over Pacolet river at Clifton and Tyger river near Greers, are repaired and trains from Washington to Atlanta will now be oper- ated as usual. This greatly relieves the strain on the Southerns Columbia and Charlotte branch. which has been hand ling this business.
 Mails to upper South Carolina from here are sent by Augusta, 800 miles out of the way and the system is badly demoraliZed. Mondays mails have not reached some portions of that territory.
 The opening of the Southern's main line between Atlanta and Charlotte will great ly facilitate aid to the sufferers at Cliff ton and Pacolet as these points, as well as Spartanburg are now in railroad com munication with the outside world.

 aged cotton's Growth.
 Washington, June s.--The Weather Bu- reau's weekly summary of crop condi- tons is as follows:
 Excessive rains in the lower Missouri. Central Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Tennessee, the Carolinas and Georgia. have interrupted farm work and caused great damage to crops, especially in the Central Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys. the flood stage In the Missouri river at St. Louis being the highest since 1858 and that in the Missouri river at Kansas City since 1S44.
 The protracted and probably unprece- dented spring drought continues practi- call yunbroken in Northern New Eng land. and in Eastern New York.
 Much corn remains to be planted in the Missouri. Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. where the plant is greatly In need of cul- tivation and much had drowned. Plant ing was resumed in Nebraska and Iowa during the latter part of the week, where under the most favorable conditions the acreage will be reduced.
 Rust in winter wheat Is very generally reported from the Ohio. Central Missis- sippi and lower Missouri valleys, and in the last two named districts the crop has sustained much damage from floods. Over the northern part of the Southern States Improvement is generally noted. Har- vesting is progressing rapidly in Texas.
 Cotton In the eastern portion of the belt has made good growth. but is very grassy and is much in need of sunshine. while portions of the central districts need rain and have suffered somewhat from cool nights during the early part of the week. Good showers were very beneficial in Texas, where chopping has progressed rapidly. Considerable damage by web worms is reported from Northern Texas and cut worms and boil weevil in een- tral and southern counties. The crop also has sustained damage by insects in the Indian Territory and by flood irs Missouri and Tennessee.
 The week as a whole has been very favorable for transplanting tobacco, which Is nearly completed. about three fourths of the tobacco area having made favorable progress In all districts. Good stands are generally indicated. and the plants are starting nicely
 Favorable reports on apples are re- ceived from Tennessee. Excessive falling has impaired the outlook in Missouri and a short crop is indicated in Arkansas.

CHAMBERLAIN MAY QUIT
 HIS POST IN CABINET

up its position of being country of cheap imports said the speaker. T am sure that the more the people inquire into the subject the more they find 1t is essential to the prosperity of the country that il should remain cheap country and that they will be convinced that the basis on which our financial and commercial sys- tenn has been conducted since the days of Sir Robert Peel should not lightly be dis missed as of no account
 This direct attack on MT. Chamberlain by member of the government who, it is believed. must have spoken with au- thority, eliicted loud cheers, and Is con- sidered even more important than MT. Ritchie's denunciation, as indicating that the majority in the cabinet Is overwhelm- ingly opposed to any system of preferen- tial trade.
 The debate was adjourned after severe criticism of Premier Balfours absence.

Each alleges having paid to Parks the sum of $3O0 to call off strikes.
 At the hearing in the Hecla matter, George D. Law, Superintendent of the Hecla Iron Works, testified that Parks questioned him in regard to the wages paid the men employed in job on the custom house in September 1901. Parks declared that instead of s2.50 a day the men should get $3.50, and insinuated that the works must be making lots of money. T will help the company spend some of it," said Parks, and he added, accord ing to the witness, T will send word to MT. Jackson that I want $l 900. When they pay me they can employ whoever they like I saw Mir. Jackson and de- livered the message Later I met Parks and told him 1t was no use. there was nothing doing. Parks then said he would strike the iob."
 Neils Poulson. President of the Hecla Iron Works, testified that shortly before May 1, 1902, he was asked by representa- tives of the Fuller Construction Company to see Parks and end the strike. Witness continued: T met Parks and Delegate Kelly of the Housesmiths' Union. Kelley knew me ana introduced Parks to me. Parks shook my hand affably and said he thought the strike could be settled with out any fuss asked him how it was the men were on strike when the Presi- dent of the union had come to me and apologized for the men being out. Parks said he did not care d-n for the Pres ident of the union nor the union, nor anything. He said he did not care for the law; that unless he was settled with. he could tie up the works tight He said: When you pay me, you can go to work when you ffke.'
 MT. Poulson identified the $2,O00 check given to McCord and sugsequently en- dorsed by Parks.
