GAS FOR EMPORIA.
Expect a Pipe Line From ElmdaIe via
Cottonwood Falls.

Emporia, Kan. Nov. 10.-says the
Gazette:
G.. w. Shaw. who has a lease on
some gas LAND near Elmdale, was in
Emporia yesterday. He talked with
Louis Bang, president of the Business
Mems association. Will Wayman and
O.. M. White. of the gas committee. IN
regard to n possibility of Emporia
being in the market for the Elmdale
natural gas. Mr.. Shaw says that there
is an inexhaustible~ supply of gas in
the Elmdale fields. n the Elmdale
people would like to pipe gas to EN-
poria-
Mr.. Shaw told Mr.. Bang that he
would, within the next thirty days,
make a proposition to Emporia.
The prospective pipe line which
would connect Emporia with Elmdale.
would also connect Cottonwood Falls
and Strong City. Elmdale is only so
miles west Of Emporia, and If the
Elmdale people have an in-exhaustible
supply Of gas. as Mr.. Shaw claims. the
probability of Emporia having natural
gas should be assured.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1O.-Fire Of IN
known origin which started shortly after
midnight today destroyed the Carter and
Kennedy six story building, occupied by
the Foote & Shear Hardware company
and the J. Scott Inglis Carpet and Fur

to the extent of $50. 600 on the upper

cyrus Leland of Doniphan county.
will be a candidate for speaker of the
Kansas house of representatives. This
NAV be stated authoritatively although
Mr.. Leland, who came to Topeka today
refused to make a formal announce
ment of his intentions.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Leland
will be in a position to command much
strength in his ambition to become
sneaker of the house. He has estab-
lished himself in good standing with
the regular" Republican organization.
by carrying Doniphan county by $50
votes for HOch, and he is not out Of
harmony with the square deal element.
Leland has not committed himself on
the senatorial proposition, which Will
be another point In his favor.
There is some talk of w. Y. Morgan.
as q candidate for the speakership, and
w. b. Ham of Rocks is also mentioned.
Chalk BeesOn of Ford county is likely
to get into the race, and the railroad
interests are very friendly to j. w.

Chief Engineer Mackenzie Recon-
mends Continuing Contract.

Washington, Nov. II. - In his esti-
mates submitted to the secretary Of
War, General Mackenzie, chief Of en-
gineers, asks for an appropriation OF
81 900, 900 for the Columbia river ietty.
In his annual report, however, he
points out the necessity for continuous
work on the jetty until it is completed.
He says that, in addition to the ST.
600 900 appropriated, congress should
authorize a continuing contract to the
extent of 81 ,45O,O0 additional. He
estimates that $4,000, 900 will COM
plete the south jetty.
If General Mackenzie's rccommenda-
ton is carried out, 81 900, 900 will be
inserted in the river and harbor bill
this winter and the remaining 81 400, :
600 will be carried in the sundry civil

alone as laborers are immigrants want

PLANTERS SHORT OF LABOR,
Cuban Sugar Men Ask Magoon to
Aid immigration.

Havana, Nov. l4.-Certain members
Of the Agrarian league, which is com.
posed of prominent planters, accom-.
panied by a number Of steamship
agents, held conference with Cover
nor Magoon today ON the question OF
the probable scarcity Of labor in the
handling OF the maturing sugar crop.
The planters urged the necessity Of
making use Of the sl,000,000 appro-
priated by the late Cuban congress for
the stimulation Of immigration, and
pointed out that Cuba was suffering
severely from the competition OF other
nations seeking immigration and the
importation Of labor to Panama.
The next sugar crop promises to be
very large, and the planters expressed
grave fears that the present labor sup
ply would be insufficient to handle it.
The governor arranged to hold fur
ther conferences with the planters.

Government Stops Sale Pending Ae'

Washington, Nov. 14.-Tho secretary
OF tho interior today issued general
order withdrawing from entry all pub
lie coal lands in Alaska. How much
land II affected no one knows; indeed,
no specific tracts could be withdrawn,
as Alaska is still unsurveycd and the
extent Of its coal deposits unknown,
But this general order will shut of all
entries OF land known to contain coal,
II is issued in line with the policy re-
ceently adopted in the states, and will
prevent wealthy corporations from cor

II is probable that further efforts
will be made TO secure legislation re-
pealing the coal land law and substi-
tuting a law which authorizes the gov
ernmcnt to lease its coal lands.
