FORT BLISS IMPROVEMENTS.
This Post Will Probably Be Made the
Headquarters of Some Regiment
Cavalry May Come.

| Ell Paso, May 12.-As result of the
visit of General Chaffee and General
Humphrey to Fort Bliss last week,
steps have already been taken to in.
crease the garrison at the post. Or.
ders have been issued by telegraph by
General Humphrey. who is chief quar-.
termaster of the army, for the prepar-
alton Of plans for company messes at
the fort, the object being, he says m
his telegram, to convert the present
consolidated mess hall into quarters
for the band, when a regimental head
quarters is established here. The in
structions of General Humphrey are
that the plans must be prepared at
once so that appropriation can be
! made for their construction out of the
funds available for the current fiscal
year, there being some funds for
maintenance and construction" yet
On hand that can be used for this pur-
pose. Should the plans not be COM
pleted for the Fort Bliss work before
June 80, the funds now available
would revert to the general treasury
and it is the desire, 1t appears, to rush
the work so that this years money
can be used to start the contemplated
improvements. and next years allott-
ment can also be used
1t is believed that the battalion of
the 29th Infantry, now at Fort Bliss,
will be transferred and that the head
quarters of one of the new regiments
now en- route home from the Philip
pines, will be established here. Some
of the officers of the post believe that
either the Seventh or the Twentieth
Infantry will be sent. In addition to
the construction work ordered today
by the quartermaster general for the
post, repairs have been ordered on
the cavalry stables. which would In
dicate that cavalry might be sent
here i

President Rooseveit's Freight Rate
Speech Opposite to Secretary Of

national meeting of railroad men, and
hence the speech is matter Of gen.
eral comment tonight in the corridors
of the hotels, which for the past ten
days have been crowded with railroad
men from every quarter Of the globe.
Free predictions are made that the
determination of the President to
force legislation, as shown by his de-
liberate bringing forward Of the rate
question as soon as his vacation Is
over and in such unmistaKable terms,
will result in the speedy withdrawal
from the cabinet of Mr.. Morton.

Chicago Firms Get Back at
Strikers By Laying Off
Many Men.
BUSINESS FALLING OFF
As the Result of the Strike is Given as
Reason. Many Thousands to be
Out If Conditions Are Not
Changed.

Chicago, May 1.-The employers to-
day began the execution of new pol.
icy as to the teamsters' strike, men In
various manufacturing industries be-
ing laid off because Of the lack of bus
mess brought about by the strike. At
the Employers Association Office, 1t
was said that the number of men laid
off because of the dullness In trade
and the consequent lack of demand for
certain manufactured goods would run
into the thousands and would continue
indefinitely unless normal business
conditions returned soon Hundreds
of wagons were sent out today by
houses, advertisements
for teamsters filled the newspapers
and on every side was evidence of the
aggressiveness of the employers. Pro-
lection Is promised to prospective
drivers, and permanent positions.
Kinsley's restaurant, famed as the
scene of grand banquets and where
presidents and royalty have dined, has
been turned into hotel where non.
union cOlored men and teamsters are

Released and Re-Arrested.
RAINY WEATHER HAS
ITS COMPENSATION

Topeka, May 12.-The Santa Fe
Railway has repaired all the damage
done its lines in New Mexico and Ari-
zona by the recent floods. While the
first cost of the washouts has proved
very costly to the road. 1t will be re-
couped later by the increase in traffic
from the greater crop of wool and 9th
er commodities which will be raised
in the districts. All the water reser.
yoirs In Arizona are now full to over
flowing and the road has an abundant
water supply there to last it for year
or longer. 1t will have no water haul
ing into that Territory to do and this
will reduce the operating expenses
very materially. These benefits may
ultimately more than offset the outlay
to which it has been put in repairing
the damages from the washouts.

WILL GIVE $500 CASH
The Commercial Club Acts on State
Fair.

The entertainment committee of the
Commercial club met on Friday after
noon and decided to give the Kansas
State Fair association $4,000 outright
by August Is, TO be used to help make
the fair a success.
The arrangement differs very little
from the one made a week ago, at
which time the Commercial club
guaranteed to make up any deficit
which the fair association might suf-
fer, up to a maximum sum of $4,000.
1t was understood that members of
the Commercial club were to partici-
pate in handling the gate receipts so
that they might have exact knowledge
of the money affairs of the associa-
ton.
The reason for this change of ar
rangement was because the fair asso-
citation stated that the cash money
was more necessary than a guarantee.
The special point in giving the money
was that the agricultural, horticul-
turaI and domestic exhibit premiums
should be increased. The exhibitors
want their money as quickly as they
leave the fair, and the ready cash will
have to be on hand.
The entertainment committee there
fore deemed a direct subscription adj
visable. The fair association in re-
turn agreed to pay back to the sub
scribers, pro rata. any such a surplus
as may be had when the fair is over.
The committee to solicit the sub
scriptions is as follows: W w. Webb,
T. w. Robinson, W. I. Miller, E. B. H.
Remley, c. K. Holiday George Burg
hart w. w. Mills.

Report That Panama Supplies Would
Be Purchased Abroad.

New York, May 20.-some efforts
were made to lift prices on the stock
exchange early in the week but liqui-
dalton developed on account of anxiety
over the future of the iron and steel
trade. The discussion of the de-
termination of the administration to
purchase Panama canal supplies in
cheaper markets abroad aroused a
fear that the whole subject of tariff
revision was to be opened. Confidence
in the working out of plans for har-
mony in the northwestern railroad
field was impaired by the dropping of
the Hartman representatives from
the Northern Pacific directors. Tn
favorable crop weather also con-
tributed to the depression and political
uneasiness abroad induced some sell
ing here for that account The money
market was undisturbed by some large
transactions.
