AFTER UNION MEN.
Operators Belonging to That Order
Let Out by the Santa Fe.

Emporia. Kan, June 29.-The Ga
zette says:
an operator at the yard Office of the
Santa Fe received a message saying
that his services were not required
and that a man would be here to take
his place. This is the second order
of this kind that has been received
here. The other case was that of z.
r. Whipple, an operator who worked
at the tower east of town. The or
der to Whipple came a week ago.
Both these men are members of the
are the only men of this order in
town.
Whipple as soon as he was told that
he was needed no longer, went to To-
peka to discover the reason. The
chief dispatcher to whom he applied,
and who has the operators in this dis
trict in charge, said that he did not
know the exact reasons. as the order
had come from higher officials
Whipple has been with the Santa Fe
for some time and Lynch, who was
let out this week, has worked for this
company for three years. That they
were not let out on account of poor
service is plain, because if they had
not done sa tisfactory work they would
have been given something easier, as
is the custom in such cases.
Both men are strong union men
and have probably talked union to
others, and as the Santa Fe is fighting
the union at present this seems to be
the only evident reason for letting
them out.
Some time ago an operator came
through here who purported to be a
union. man. He would enter into dis
cussion with some of the operators
about some minor wording upon a
union card. If the operator was a
union man he would produce the card
to clear the matter. Both WhIppIe
and Lynch were accosted in this
manner by this man and it is thought
that he was a spotter and thus learn
ed that they were members of the
order.
1900 and since then the Santa Fe has
not yielded to any of their demands,
but up to now no objection was ever
made to hiring or keeping union men.

ORDERED MORTON OUT
Story Told of Row Between Root and
New Secretary of Navy.

Washington, June 29.-The selection
of Paul Morton for the navy portfolio
is another striking example of Presi-
dent ROoSeVelt's undaunted determina-
tion to surround himself with the men
of the country who are most capa bic
of serving the public interests. The
designation shows clearly that when
the president spots man for public
Office he waves aside any petty differ
ences of the past that connect the pros
pective candidate with men who are
close to him; gathers all together in
friendly roundup, thereby making peace
and gets his man. The Democratic
press of the country IS preparing to
aSsail the president on Morton's ap-
tary of the navy an Out-and-out enemy
of Elihu Root of New York. The facts
are these:
During the Philippine wax, when the
troops and supplies were being sent
from the eastern arsenals to the Pacific
coast. the Southern Pacific Joined with
the interests of the Pacific Mail and
had a monopoly of the contracts for
carrying soldiers and munitions of war.
Paul Morton, as business agent of the
Santa F'e, desired a share of the busi-
ness. He made a low bid, but the
friends of the Southern Pacific declared
that their road was originally built by
government bonds and that the Santa
Fe was not able to do any business ow-
ing to the limited capacity for freight
and passenger service Mr.. Morton
vigorously EOIUDdLLEQ the CnalEE. MS
insinuatfOn of the Southern Pacific was
denounced to Secretary of War Root
by Mr.. Morton as a lie. It is further
said that Morton declared that the San
ia Fe was not to be Disseminated
against, and that if Root did not give
him fair play he would turn every Re
publican state on the line Of the Santa
Fe to the Democratic party. This
declaration came from Morton when he
was a Democrat and his action riled the
New York man. who ordered him from
mis- office.
Morton appealed from Root to Presi-
dent Mckinley "A deaf ear was turned
to him at the White House But ne
was still persistent Congressional in
fluence was brought to bear upon Root
and before long the Santa Fe system
had it's share of the Philippine busi-
ness. Root and the new secretary Of
the navy are now fast friends, and it
is said that Root was the one to re-
mind the president, when he was
searching the list of availables, Of the

The following statement has been
given out by George E. Kyner, editor
and owner of the Victor Record:
MY attention has been called to
certain statements printed in various
papers throughout the country to the
effect that I have stated that my life
had been threatened and that I held
the citizens alliance responsible for
the wrecking of the Record plant.
these statements in whole or in part
and deny responsibility for them It
has been suggested to me that I owe
this statement to the citizens of this
community and state and particularly
to the military now in power here.
However, L make them in defense Of
no one, but believing that an injustice
has been done and with the determi-
nation not to be a party to such an
injustice.
Il viii state further that the edi-
torial published in the Record on
June was written by me, and on the
suggestion of no other person. IT was
not written through fear, but repre-
sented my honest convictions in the
matter in question. namely, the ending
of the strike and the possible advent
of peace in this state

FIGHT LASTED TWO DAYS.
Russian Account of the Battle al
DaIin Hill.

4luSSlam Account OF the EaLllC at
Dalin HILL
Hacheng, June 29.-The total losses
in the Dalin Hill fight are not yet
known. Eighty wounded have arrived
here and on Sunday last a hospital
train with 200 passed, going to Lao
Yang.
The lighting lasted the whole of
June 26 and June 27, and the Japa-
nese successfully pushed the Russians
from three positions, occupying them
with artillery as the defenders re-
tired.
Wounded Russians recounting the
two days fighting say that the Japa-
nese again demonstrated their reli-
ance upon their artillery, and that
they We're greatly superior. both in
number of men and in guns.
On the second day of the fight they
brought up a heavy battery which
silenced the lighter Russian guns and
caused severe loss. The Japanese ar
tillery practice, however, was mac
curate, and as usual they several
times shelled empty positions or shot
over the Russian columns.
The fight started at dawn, ten miles
southwest of Dalin Hill. A Russian
rife brigade held the position until
noon in the face of a heavy artillery
IRE, but the Russians were finally
outianked by infantry and cavalry,

Daltn Hill fight continued from 4 till
dark. The Japanese worked furiOusly
all night long and emplaced two bat
ter1es on the vacated Russian posi-
ton.
The fighting was resumed at 3 a. m.
on June % The Russians silenced
the two Japanese batteries, but the
japanese brought up a train of big
guns and silenced the lighter Russian
artillery, which was again running
out OF ammunition, and the Russians
were once more forced to retire. The
japanese cavalry and infantry threat
ening to surround the Russian posi-
ton forced general retreat. The
Russians carried off all their guns
and got revenge on the cavalry col
umn, which was caught in close for
nation and was shelIed with terrinc
erect, being forced to scatter.
