LEGISLATURE TO
 BE CALLED TODAY
SESSION WILL PASS RELIEF MEAS URES PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN OF TOPEKA SHOVEL MUD AND SAND FROM HOUSES.

Topeka. Kas., June 9.-It is expected a special session of the Kansas legislature will be called tomorrow to pass bills for the relief of the flood sufferers. Replies have been received from twenty-five mem bers of the legislature giving favorable answers to the query as to whether they would serve without pay.
 Governor Bailey will be in Topeka some time tomorrow and will issue the special call.
 The session will pass acts enabling Kan sas counties to rebuild a large number of bridges washed out in the flood.
 Nearly $60.000 Is now In the flood relief fund. If this generous aid continues, 1t will be sufficient in three weeks to go a long way toward giving North Topeka people new start. Among the contribu- tions today was $500 from each of the following: Prudential Insurance company of New Jersey, Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, Cincinnati Business Mems club.
 Today, in obedience to a proclamation by the mayor, many of the most prom inent business and professional men of the city worked all day in shovelling mud and sand out of the dwellings on the north side. This is a stupendous task. Many buildings which escaped being wrecked by the flood are now in danger of being ruined by the mud which they col leeted and which is crushing out the floors. At no time during the flood was the property loss exaggerated: 1t will be something enormous. The full force of the floods Is only now beginning to be felt

TROUBLE AT HAMPSTEAD.
Prohlbtionists and Saloon Men Wage
 War in Texas Town.

Houston. Tex, June s.-A cavalry com- pany has been sent to Hampstead, where trouble Is feared this morning.
 The prohlbtionists won recently in a contest in Waller county and the antics secured an injunction. The prohibitionists had mass meeting, declared the injunc- ton illegal and void, and gave the saloon ists until Tuesday to close up under pen alty of being forcibly closed. An appeal was then made to the governor for the Rangers but was referred and the adju- tant general was sent to Hempstesm to investigate.
 The result Is the ordering out of troops. What will be the final outcome cannot now be predicted. Several saloons were recently wrecked by citizens supposed to have been prohibitionists.

OSBORNE MILITIA
 NEAR ST. FRANCIS
NO ATTACK YET MADE BY ARMED SETTLERS ON SOLDIERS .Es. coRTiNG COWBOY MURDERERs. TROUBLE IS IMMINENT.

Topeka, Kan, June 9.-As far as known the Osborne militia company, on the way to St. Francis with the men accused of the killing of Daniel Berry and his sons. have not been molested by the parties of armed settlers. The militia reached the Dewey ranch tonight with their prisoners where they will encamp until tomorrow. A slow march to St. Francis will then be started. There is no jail in St. Francis, and the troops do not wish to get the prisoners there before Thursday when the trial will begin. The soldiers are proceeding with great caution.
 Armed men have been nockinR into St. Francis all day, according to dis patch received from Atwood this after noon. The charge is made by the Berry partisans that the court in St. Francis is partial to Chauncey Dewey, Claud Will son and W. J. McBride, and that the trial would be simply q means of setting them free. It is thought that if the men are convicted by the court and sentenced &C., cordingly the settlers will make no att tempt to take the law into their own hands; otherwise trouble is feared. The situation Is critical and is substantially this:
 The settlers are greatly angered against Dewey and his son and claim to have in- disputable evidence of their guilt Even should evidence be introduced excusing their crimes, Whether guilty or not. the settlers in their present unframed state of mind are seemingly determined to wreck vengeance on them anyway. The militia and the sheriff are more than ever de- termined to protect the accused cattle men. because of the possibility of their innocence.
 W. B. Lockwood, a member of the state legislature, wires that he looks for blood shed, as the settlers recognize in the present case an opportunity to even up old scores with the cattlement if pre- sented

FOUNDRY MEN MEET
 AT MILWAUKEE
PRESIDENT WALKER SAYS WORK MEN ARE EMPLOYERS PART. NERs AND THEY SHOULD BE
 PAID HIGHEST WAGES POSSIBLE

Milwaukee, Wis, June 9.-The National Foundrymen's association met here in an- nual convention today. The frse session was devoted to routine business, includ- ing the annual address of President w. A Walker of Boston. In the course of the remarks MT. Walker referred to the rela- ton between manufacturer and employe. 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 his industry will permit; his workmen are his partners; why should their welfare not concern him even more than that of his customers?
 Ut may be well to inform employees relative to the business details of any enterprise.
 "The professional labor agitator is logical product of the time; employers should make him unnecessary and we shall hear no more of him. There Is reasonable and proper place for the real labor leader. one who by nature and edu- cation is fitted to counsel, advise and conciliate; who Is honest, sincere and all ways fair; who understands business and the position of business men.
 This ideal labor leader as I have de- scribed him, Is a more highly idealzed product of civilization than the average employer of the present time. It Is ex pecting too much that he should mate rialize a once, but in time he should appear and believe will do so. Employ CTS should first themselves show him the pattern in the conduct of their own busl- ness. Neither the laboring man nor his representatives can be expected to ad- vance in these matters until employers have advanced first"

GEN. GORDON THANKS ROOT
 FOR CONFEDERATE ROSTER

Secretary Root under date of June 6, replied as follows:
 My Dear General Gordon-I 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 believe 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-establishment of friendly relations and common sympathies between the two sections within the life time of the very men who fought so desperately against each other, is high title to respect for Americans by all the world It is very great pleasure for me to be able to do any thing which way contribute towards
 advancement of these friend

ROCK ISLAND RESUMES SERVICE.
This System Had Most to Contend
 With During Topeka Flood.

Topeka, Kan, June 9.-The Rock Island train service is now as extensive could be expected considering the existing con dtions. That road has had great many more misfortunes to contend with in this vicinity than any other road entering Topeka Trains are now run to the Rock Island depot. The work was done quick ly considering the fact that its tracks were washed out by the new channels in North Topeka which had to be bridged before trains could be run.
 Now that the line has at last opened. trains are being run on schedule time as near as it Is possible to do so The Colo rado line has not yet been opened up. but Colorado passengers are now being handled by way of Horton, Belleville and Fairbury. Neb These trains strike the main line at the latter point
 It Is stated that the Rock Islands track between Mcfarland and Manhattan is washed out for a distance of about twen- ty-hve miles, but in spite of this the of ficials say that they expect to have trains running between those points by Thurs day night.

 Fowler Makes Able Speech.
 Sir Henry Fowler QiberaD in an ex- ceptionaly able speech dwelt on Premier Balfour's duty to the nation to ascertain in the opinion of his colleagues and let the house and the people know the cabi- nets decision regarding a question which was so vital to the empire.
 After the dinner recess the excitement was heightened by the absence of both the colonial secretary and the premier A bitter attack on any tampering with free trade was made by Sir John Gorst conservative who declared that great portion of the rising generation in the United Kingdom was already so poverty stricken that anything to increase the price of food would threaten national disaster.
 Another sensation was sprung when Sir Arthur Elliott, the financial secretary of the treasurer, replying on behalf of the government to MT. Briee's inquiry, made a bitter attack on protectionists and pre- ferential tariffs He declared that the financial policy of the government was clearly exhibited by it's decision to revoke the corn tax. which savored of protection.
 T ask the house seriously to consider what this country has to gain by giving up its position of being a country of cheap imports?" said the speaker. q am sure the more the people inquire into the subject, the more they find 1t is es- sential to the prosperity of the country that this country should remain a cheap country, and that they will be convinced that the basis on which our financial and commercial system has been conducted since the days of Sir Robert Peel. should not lightly be dismissed as of no account"

His election to the senate, where he was made president of that body, and his later honors and responsibilities as the chief executive of the state form one of the most important chapters in the po- litical history of Alabama His inaugura- tion was made the most notable of any similar occasion since the war, and his administration will go down in history with the ablest administrations in the southern states.
