skilled.
State Free Employment Agent Gerow
holds that a number! of railroads are
largely to blame for the shortage of
harvest hands. He says the railroads
need every man they can get to com
plete their own work, and lor this rea
son have refused to grant the 1 cent a
mile passenger rate that is usually made
for the harvest hands. They fear, it is
said, that the call from the wheat
fields, with the attractive wages, will
draw away their laborers, who get only
$1.25 for working on tracks.
The Rock Island and Union Pacific
have given the harvesters' rate, but
the other lines are obdurate.
There will be no room for complaint
on account of compensation. The farm
ers, H need be, will pay as high as ?3
day for good men. The ordinary
wage will be $2 to $2.50. Board and
lodging are also given. Farmers will
co-operate with each other, and there
will be less "stealing" of the hands of
others than in past years.
The fiat has gone out unofficially that
there must be no able bodied men in
Kansas at harvest time. The loafer
who can work will be obliged to toil or
leave the state. Local authorities in
cities and towns hitherto have co-oper
ated with the agriculturists in enlisting
the whole available force for field work.
They will do so again this year
Present indications are that Kansas
will harvest 65,000.000 bushels of
wheat. The usuel migration from the
Texas and Oklahoma fields will recur
this year, but this source of aid of
itself will not be sufficient.

president pro tern announced his signa
ture to the statehood bill.
The senate adjourned at 4:30 p.m.

minutes debate today the house by the
vote of 129 to 82 adopted the senate
resolution providing for the purchase
of material and equipment for use in
the construction of the Panama canal of
domestic manufacturers and of the low
est responsible bidder, unless the presi
dent shall in any care deem the bids or
tenders therefor to be extortionate or
unreasonable. The adoption of the
resolution came after a long discussion
of purchasing canal material in open
markets, while the sundry civil bill
was under consideration.
The sundry civil bill also was passed.
It carries a total appropriation of $94,-
578,040, nearly $26,000,000 of which
is for the continuation of work on the
canal . '
Friday, June 15.
Washington, June 15. When the
senate took up the Kittredge sea level
canal bill today, Senator Teller spoke
in support of that plan. He argued
that as this government had practically
prohibited the French government, and
later bad declined to allow private cor
porations to embark in the canal enter
prise, the United States can not afford
to hesitate on account of the cost in
money or time. The fact that a sea
level canal would cost more than a
lock canal should not deter this country
from giving 'to the world the best pos
sible waterway between the oceans
which must necessarily be on the tide
level. He expressed the opinion that
a sea level canal could be built for the
same price as a lock canal, all the en
giners would favor it as the best poesi
ble canal. Hence he contended that in
standing for a lock canal Chief Engi
neer Stevens discredits mmseii as an
engineer.
LITTLE MAIL WAS LOST.
Surprising Amount of Business Now
in San Francisco Postoffice.
Washington, June 19. Postmaster
General Cortelyou has received final
eports from the postmaster at San
Francisco, dealing with detailing the
postal conditions during the great dis
aster there and pointing out that the
amount of mail lost was comparatively
small. The postmaster reports that
May 2 the records of the canceling ma
chines at the San Francisco postoffice
showed the collection of mail within
60,000 letters of the heaviest collection
on record in the office, while the stamp
Bales were within $300 of normal.
The postmaster says, however, that
the mails of second-class matter were
but a litttle over 20 per cent of the
amount before the earthquake, lie
adds that there has been no falling off
the amount
ceived.
There were 20 employes of the post-
office whose homes were burned out in
the fire, many of the men being left
destitute.but so far as known onlv one
employe, a carrier, lost his life, while
one other is missing. The postmaster
general has written the postmaster
SDecial'.v commending the action of
certain employes and has called the at
tention of the secretary of the treasury
to certain officials in the custodian
service of that department.
Washington, June 15. The house to

Washington, June 14. After elimi
nating the appropriation of $100,000
for thn further gauging of the waters of
the United States under the direction
of the geological survey, the house to
day grew weary of economy and in
creased the appropriations for farther
tests of structural materials, lignites

ations committee labored zealously to
retain them at their original figure.
The conference report on the omni
bus lighthouse bill was adopted.
The report of the conferees of the

Wednesday, June 13.
Washington, June 13. The senate
adopted without division the conference
report on the statehood bill at 6:20
o'clock this evening.
The report was debated by Foraker,
Bailey, Patterson, Money, Dubois,
Morgan, Stone, McCumber and others.
Dubois announced his intention to
vote against the acceptance of the re
port, because of the omission of the
anti-polygamy provision inserted by
the senate, and in doing so he took oc
casion to review his own political ex
perience in dealing with the Mormons,
saying that he knew his stand on the
question would result in his enforced
retirement from the senate. The sen
ate also listened during the day to an
argument b Millard in opposition to
tqe sea level Panama canal bilsl.
Washington, June 13. There was a
round of applause from both Bides of
the chamber when Hamilton, of Michi
gan, reported to the house today that
the conferees on statehood had agreed
reached an agreement and asked that
it be printed in the Record.
The day was spent on the sundry
civil appropriation bill, and, with the
exception of an hour occupied in con
sidering the proposed abolition of re
ceivers of land offices, which measure
the house refused to sanction, the en
tire day was taken up with the consid
eration of appropriations for the United
States Geological survey, members of
the appropriations committee being in
severe criticism of the officials of the
survey.

Washington, June 12. By a vote of
54 to 6 tbo senate today decided to .con
aider the bill extending from 28 to 36
hours the time that livestock may be
kept in cars without unloading. The
passage of the bill was advocated by
Warren, who said that under its terms
the time can only be extended on the
written application of the owners of the
stock, and that often unloading is
more harmful to the stock than to ex
tend for a few hours the time of their
confinement.
After a lengthy discussion the bill
was passed.
NEW STAR IN UNION.
NEW MEAT BILL
BY PACKERS
Accepted by Committee,
Representative Lorimer Went to Chi
cago and Submitted the Proposed
Amendment for Their Approval
Fact Will Be President's Trump
Card.
Washington, June 12. With a very
large proportion of the members pres
ent, due to the activity of the Republi
can and Democratic whips, the house
today passed a rule sending the railroad
rate bill back to conference as asked
for by the senate, without even an ex
pression of its wishes as to any of the
amendments. The rule was debated
for 40 minutes. The leaders partici
pated in the discussion, the Democrats
taking the position that the time was
opportune to concur in the sleeping car
amendment and instruct the ocnferees
tas to the anti-pass amendment. Al
though the Democrats were aided by
eight Republicans, they could not com
mand votes enough to defeat the rule,
which was adopted, 184 to 99.
Representative Sherman, of New
York, introduced a bill today providing
a passenger rate on all railroads in the
United States doing interstate business
shall be 2 cents a mile, effective Janua
ry 1 next.
Monday, June II.
Washington, June 11. The senate
this evening passed the Mondell bill
amending the national irrigation law
so as to permit the secretary of . the In
terior to reduce the minimum area of
farm units in government projects from
40 acres to 20 acres. The bill was
amended in the senate by prescribing
regulations for granting an extension
of time to settlers under irrigation pro
jects for completing entries when delay
is caused by failure of the government
to complete the project and furnish the
water in time to complete entries in
the time specified by the land laws.
It was amended also by the insertion
of a provision authorizing the secretary
of the Interior to appraise lots in Hey-
burn and Rupert townsites and sell
them to occupants who have erected
permanent buildings thereon not read-
ly removable.
President Signs Statehood Bill and
Makes It a Law.
Washington, June 18. Another star
waa added to the Union Saturday when
President Roosevelt signed the bill ad
mitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory uy Changes Asked by Them Were
vides that Arizona and New Mexico
may be admitted to statehood as the
state of Arizona, provided the people of
the territories vote in favor of adriis
Bion on ine terms submitted by con
gress.
The signing of the measure was'iiiade
the occasion oi an interesting cere
mony. Senator Beveridge and Repre
sentative Hamilton, chairmen of the
senate and house committees on terri
tories, who have worked long and hard
for the measure, were present, aa also
were Delegate McGuire, of Oklahoma,
and a number of residents of Okla
homa ; Delegate Andrews, of New Mex
ico; Secretary Loeb and others. Just
before the president signed the bill,
Ambassador Speck von Sternberg, of
Gerrrany, was ushered into the office,
and he, too, witnessed the ceremony.
The president u ed two pens in feign
ing the measure, writing the first
name, "Theodore," with a solid gold
pen presented by the people of Ari
zona, his family name, "Roosevelt,"
with an eagle's quill taken from an
eagle in Oklahoma.
After signing the bill, the president
congratulated Mr. Beveridge and Mr.
Hamilton ou the completion of their
long and arduous labors in connection
with the measure. He also expressed
the hope that the people of Arizona and
New Mexico would avail themselves of
the opportunity to come into the Union
as a state. From every view point, he
said, he regarded this as the wise thing
for them to do, as the opportunity
might not come again in a score, of
years. The president said that he had
a personal interest in the admission of
Arizona and New Mexico, as many of
the members of his regiment, the
Rough Riders, resided there
PRELUDE TO GENERAL ATTACK.
Massacte at Bialystok Will Be Imitat
ed in Other Cities.
Berlin, June 18. "We have everv
reason to believe that the massacre oi
jews at uiaiystoK is a rehearsal lor a
wholesale repetition of the atrocities of
last October, said Dr. Paul Nathan,
president of the Central Jewish Relief
league of Germany. "Our information
indicates that the Bialystok massacre is
the same sort of officially inspired
counter revolutionary outbreak aa was
that at Odessa. We have learned post
tively that the government's allegation
that the trouble began in consequence
of the bombs being thrown at a Chris
tian rengvous procession bv Jews is a
ridiculous falsehood. Bialystok is still
in the hands of the drunken Cossacks,
who are determined that no Jews shall
be allowed to escape or go unrobbed.
"The military have deserted the rail
way station and every passing train is
held up and the passengers plundered.
Panic reigns in the neighboring vil
lages, which fear they will be the next
object of attack. Numerous German
firms and individuals are among the
sufferers at Bialystok and cause the
suggestion that German intervention be
invoked.
DISAGREE ON PIPE LINES.
Washington, June 16. President
Roosevelt has yet to play his trump
card against the men in congress who
are endeavoring to render ineffective
the Beveridge meat inspection amend
ment to the agricultural bill. It be
came known today that the bouse com
mittee substitute for the Beveridge
amendment was actually drawn by the
Chicago packers and was reported by
the committee exactly as requested by
the men whom the president proposes
to place under government inspection.
The home committee last Saturday-
morning reached an agreement to re
port its substitute and immediatly Rep
resentative Lorimer left for Chicago,
with a copy of the committee bill. He
spent half a day Sunday in conference
with the leading packers of bis home
city, submitting to them the substi
tute drawn by himself and Chairman
Wadsworth and accepted by the major
ity of the house committee. The pack
ers went over this proposed legislation
very carefully, wrote in many changes
which they desired, and asked Mr. Lor
imer to do his best to have their ideas
carried out.
Mr. Lorimer hastened back to Wash
ington, submitted the packers' ideas to
the committee, and the majority of the
committee actually adopted every sug
gestion that was made to Mr. Lorimer,
reporting a substitute for the Beveridge
amendment identical with that which
was endorsed by representatives of the
packers in Chicago on Sunday. These
facts are vouched for by two members
of the house committee, and they have
reported them to the president.
Such evidence as this is the strongest
kind of a club for the president, and
will do more than anything else to de
feat the committee proposition and
force the house to accept something
very similar to the original Beveridge
amendment; to do otnerwise, the house
would have to acknowledge that it was
legislating at the direction of the beef
trust and few congressmen care to go
into the campaign this fall with any
such record to their credit.
WANT APPEAL TO COURTS.
Washington, June 11. Alter near
ly four h( urs spent in the considera
tion of ltgislation affecting the inte
rests of the District of Columbia, the
house tody resumed consideration of
the sundry civil bill, and, after an
hour and a half spent in its considera
tion, adjourned. An amendment was
passed, permitting the appointment of
retired officers of the United States
corps of engineers, U. S. A., as mem
bers of the International Waterways
commission, as provided lor in trie
river and harbor bill creating this commission.
For Early Adjournment.
Washington, June 12. In an effort
to bring an adjournment of congress by
July 1 or earlier, Senator Allison,
chairman of the senate Republican
steering committee, will call the com
mittee together.Thursday to consider a
program for the remainder of the ses
sion, with the statehood question out
of the way, it is now believed that the
railroad rate conference report and the
meat inspection bill are practically the
only obstructions. It is not likely
there ran be any agreement this ses
sion on the type of the canal.
Eight-Hour Law in Islands.
Washington, June 11. in response
to a complaint by President Gompers,
of the American Federation of Labor,
Solicitor Charleton, of the Philippine
government, has reported to Secretary
laft that the eight hour law is enforced
n the Philippines and is held to apply
to all workB there provided for by ap
propriation of public money of the
United States. As to the employment
of Chinese laborers, the solicitor says
they are now excluded.
Statehood Compromise.
Washington, June 12. The Carter
compromise on the statehood bill was
agreed upon today by Republican lead
ers of the house and senate. Nothing
now stands in the way of admission of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as
state, and a choice by Arizona and New
Mexico as to whether they desire to
come in as another state. It is expect
ed that the pending conference report
will be recommitted or withdrawn when
it comes an tomorrow and an amended
report returned to both houses embody
ing the compromise.
Tillman Seeks Information.
Washington, June 12. The Tillman-
Hopkins controversy of a few weeks ago
concerning the status oi anairs of the
Chicago National bank was revived in
the senate today by an inquiry made
by Tillman concerning the statns of h;s
resolution lor an investigation of the
coarse of that hank, of which John R.
Wlh was president. The inquiry was
directed to Aldrich, chairman of the
committee on finance, before which the
resolution is pending.
Rate Bill Conferees Thrash Over Old
Straw Without Result.
Washington, June 18. In the ah
Bence of Representative Sherman, of
New York, who was out of the city, the
conierees on the railroad rate bill were
in session less than an hour today, and
reached no decision on any subject.
The pipe line amendment was dis
cussed, Senators Elkins and Tillman
opposing any change in the provision
making them common carriers and con
tending that most of the companies
that have protested the amendment are
subordinate companies of the Standard
Oil company.
Opponents of the amendment pro
posed that the amendment which pro
hibits a common carrier from carrying
commodities it produces be changed to
read: "railroad carrying commodities
it produces," in order that this amend
ment shall not conflict with pipe lines,
which are constructed for the so'e pur
.pose of carrying their productions.
this were done, they agreed to support
the pipe line amendment.
Kansas Will Investigate.
Topeka, June 18. Secretary 8. J
Crnmbine, of the Kansas State Board
of Health, has commenced an investi
gation of the Kansas packing houses
with a view to ascertaining whether or
not preservatives of a harmful nature
are used in preparing the products
Sanitary conditions in the big plants at
Kansas City will also be looked into
Dr. Crumbine states that the investiga
tion is not the result of the government
report on the Chicago plants, but was
planned bv him before the Neill-Rev-
nolds investigation was commenced.
British Colonies Guilty, Too.
London, June 18. The report of Dr.
Thomas, the medical officer of the hor
ough of Stepney, to the local govern
ment board, shows that his department
during the last five years has destroyed
over a ton of rotten tinned foods daily
at the Stepne7 wharves. These, he
idls, were not American goods, as
iracti al'y no rann d goods from Amer
in concern are irrported through the
tennrr wharvps. but were colonial
meat, fish and fruit.

Victims of Postal Fraud Orders Want
Cortelyou Curbed.
Washington, June 16. Effort ii he
ing made to curb the power exercised
by the Postoffice department in issuing
fraud orders against mail. The house
committee on judiciary has reported
favorably a measure granting appeal
from department fraud orders to the
courts, were the petitioner shall be
insured the right to a full judicial
hearing on the facte and judicial judg
ment as to whether the postal laws and
regulations are being violated.
Department rulings on use of the-
mails, especially on the point whether
fraud is being committed, have been
the subject of many sharp controversies.
The plenary powers of the executive
officials have been as frequently es
tablished. Accumulated disappoint
ment of those denied access to the
mails is offered in explanation of the
present movement. Since the removal
of Tyner, there have been no charges of
wilful abuse of tbe powers of the de
partment, but the purity of purpose
conceded to officials has not removed
the sting entirely for those who have
suffered.
There is little propped that the
rnesaure will be passed by the house
this session, but assurance is had that
a serious enort will be made to put it
on the statute hooks before the close of
the Fifty-ninth congress.
Ready to Reduce Navy
Rome, June 16. In the chamber of
deputies today, Signor Brunialti inter
rogated the government relative to the
proposal of the British government at
The Hague conference for reduction of
armament. Foreign Minister Tittoni
replied that he was glad of the oppor
tunity to publicly express Italy's ad
hesion to the humanitarian proposal of
Great Britain, adding that Italy always
was ready to co-operate sincerely with
initiatives aiming at the simultaneous
reduction of armament to avert the
dangers and disasters of war.
No Liquor in Federal Buildings.
Washington, June 16. The house
committee today authorized a favorable
report on the Terrell bill, prohibiting

ngs or on premises loaned or leased by

applying to all government soldiers'
homes, this bill will prohibit the sale
of liquors in the hotels on the govern
ment reservations at Old Point Com
fort, Va., and Hot Springs, Ark., and
n several hotels in Yellowstone Park.
