FROM H. U. NUDGE.
Says That Strike Isn't Causing Santa
F'e Any Trouble.

H u Nudge, general manager of
the Santa Fe, in order to show that
the Santa Fe has not been seriously
affected by the machinists' strike, as
is stated in the bulletins issued by the
strikers dictated the following state
ment today. Mr.. Nudge says that
his statement is based on information
received from the heads of the differ
ent divisions on the AtchiSon proper:
All reports of either freight or pas
senger trains being delayed on &C
count of motive power are without
foundation. There have been prac-
tically no delays to passenger trains
on account of engine failures and no
freight cars held on sidings on that
account.
Freight traffic on all of the rail-
roads is somewhat lighter than last
year, in consequence of which some
of the other roads are reducing their
forces. With the addition of new ne
gines during the last few months, and
the fact that our old engines are in
much better shape than they were
last year, we are prepared to handle
a considerably greater freight traffic
and to guarantee its prompt move
ment.
The only serious delays to either
freight or passenger trains in the past
thirty days have been on account of
washOuts and soft track
All shops except one are full hand
ed. There are six men called for at
one shop, and they are now on the
way.
Work at all shops is being turned
out fully as we'll as before the strike.
I have before me monthly reports
showing that on May 1 there were
standing outside at the Topeka shops
waiting for room, forty-four engines.
On June 1 this number had been re-
duced to thirty-two.
During the month of May twenty
two engines were entirely overhauled
and turned out of the Topeka shops
twelve new engines from the Baldwin
works were set up, and one new
switch engine was turned out COM
pleted- This engine, however. did not
get out of the shop until June 6. In
the previous month there were
twenty-three engines put through.
seven new engines from the Baldwin
works set up, and two new switch
engines turned out. One of these en-
gines was turned out early in the
month, and was really mostly set up
in the previous month.
AS to engine failures, monthly re-
ports from the two general superin-
tendents for the first five months of
the year are as follows:
January, $50; average per day PAS.
February, $50; average per day,
PAS.
March. 500; average per day, 16.1.
April, 393; average per day, 1874.
May, 319; average per day, 1872
These are figures for the Atchison
proper, comprising $500 miles. While
l have no detailed reports from the

they ever did, and I have assurance
from them that their conditions are

WAS NO ELECTION.
Grand Warden and Grand Representa-
tive L. o. o. f. Must Be Chosen.

Three hundred and ninety-eight Odd
Fellows lodges have reported their
votes on the field election now being
carried on and it is definitely settled
that neither grand warden or q. grand
representative will be elected. In order
to win, a candidate must have 40 per
cent of all the votes cast. There are
still SO lodges to be heard from, but 1t
is thought that none of these will re-
port. 1t will therefore be necessary for
the warden and representative to be
elected at the annual meeting of the
Odd Fellows in Topeka in September.

ter and J. I. Saunders deputy grand
master, without any opposition. II. c.

CAN'T MEET THE DEMAND.
State Penitentiary Binding Irvine
Plant Is Falling Behind

The penitentiary binding Irvine plant
has already sold over two million
pounds of binding Irvine for this years
harvest The surplus which was ac-
cumulated during the winter has been
exhausted and the plant is now turn
ing out about 13, 900 pounds a day. This
is being used to fill orders as fast as
possible but there is a greater demand
for the Irvine than can be met. The
total amount Of Irvine used in the state
is usually from eight to ten million
pounds each harvest In discussing the
demand for the prison Irvine Chief Clerk
Brown, who is over from the peniten-
tiary said:
The rush for Irvine is about over for
this year. During the past month we
nave worked day and night filling or
ders. The Irvine is Of exceptionally good
quality and the price is about cents
a pound lower than 1t was last year.
Most Of the orders have been filled.
Still enough are coming in to consume
all of our daily production. As soon as
the wheat harvest is over we viii begin
making Irvine for the corn harvest. Tt
is remarkable how much Irvine IS now
used in the corn harvest Up until a
few years ago no Irvine was used for
this purpose"

has addressed an Identical note to a
number of European powers to ascer-
tain il they are willing to join in
notice to Russia and Japan that dur
ing hostilities and thereafter the neu-
lrality and integrity of China must be
recognized. 1t is Known that ex-

which justifies the state department
In expecting favorable responses to its
note. The matter has created great
sensation in diplomatic circles here.

plates a restriction of hostilities and
the consequent hardships of war to the
smallest possible area Just what this
means is not made clear to the public
but the determination may have the

greatest effect upon the struggle be-
tween Russia and Japan. 1t is almost
certain that neither will be allowed to
invade China proper, meaning by that
that they may not with hostile intent
go southwark below Shan-hai Kwan on
the border line between Chilli and
Manchuria. 1t is a grave question
whether or not it will apply also to
Korea e,hich is striving desperately to
preserve neutrality and prevent inva-
sion, but the general opinion is that it
is too late in that case to do more than
seek to preserve Korean independence
after the war.
Orders will be cabled to Rear Adj
miral Evans to send his cruiser squad
ron, consisting of the Alliance, New
Orleans, Raleigh and Cincinnati from
Subig bay to some point in Chinese
waters yet to be determined, for the
purpose of observing the naval oper-
atoms. 1t is expected that the squad
ron can coal and get under way with in
two days. Admiral Evans is expected
to keep the battleship squadron in Phil
ippine waters throughout the period OF
hostilities between Russia and Japan.
This decision was reached at the cab
met meeting after long consideration.
1t has been definitely settled that the
cruiser squadron will not go to Port
Arthur.
