KAKSAS STATE NEWS.
Governor Martin has written a letter
to the Secretary of'War in regard to the
threatening attitude of the Indians, in
which be calls the attention of the War
Department to the condition of affairs, and
jays that "if the National Government
locates in the Indian Territory large num
bers of savage, discontented and danger
ous Indians it is its plain duty to provide
an ample force to restrain them within the
boundaries of that Territory, and on their
reservation. The State of Kansas can not
afford to maintain a standing army on its
southern border, and ought not to be com
pelled to maintain such an army in order
to protect its borders from invasion by the
Indians and to give assurances of safety
and protection to its citizens. This is a
duty which the General Government, not
the State, should discharge." The Gover
nor says that to him it seems to be the
plain duty of the National Government "to
station a permanent and adequate military
force on the southwestern borders of Kan
sas. Posts should be located and main
tained at convenient points from the west
line of Barber to Seward County, and
these points should be so connected with
each other, by pickets or vidette outposts,
as to guard all that section of Kansas."
He further says that if the troops recently
ordered to the southwest border are dis
posed as suggested and permanently main
tained they will be ample to give the citi
zens of the exposed country assurances of
protection.
An Atchison dispatch of the Sth gave an
account of a mysterious mnrdor committed
in that city tho night before, Miss Mary
Baldwin, an estimable young lady, being
the victim. Miss Baldwin resided in a two
story frame dwelling in a retired portion
of the city. Her father died recently, leav
ing a large estate, and it was reported that
considerable money had been secreted
about the premises. Her mother was ab
sent visiting in tho East, and a young man
named Fitzgerald, who roomed in an iso
lated portion of the dwelling, had gone to
a dance, but returned and quietly retired.
He left his room in the morning nnd re
turned at seven o'clock in the evening with
a young man named Spalding. On enter
ing the house the two men found evidence
of a forcible entrance, and noticing that
Miss Baldwin's room door was open, looked
in and saw her lying across the bed and tho
room in great disorder. The Coroner was
notified aud the room thoroughly searched,
resulting in the finding of tho murdered
girl's missing jewelry, which, it was at
first supposed, tho murderer had stolen.
Her diamonds were snugly tucked nway in
tho toe or one of her shoes. The girl had
evidently been murdered by tho use of
chloroform by some one w ho had secreted
himself in her room for tho purpose. She
was reported as betrothed to a young man,
who had visited her on the oveuing pre
ceding the murder. -
The shoo store of A. M. Ortland, in

Suit was recently commenced against
Comanche County to enforce the payment
of ?72,000 of bonds issued by that county in
1874 for the purpose of building a court
house, bridges and for general expenses.
Charles Edward Lewis, a speculator living
in London, is the man who brings suit for
the amount of the bonds. He claims ho is
an innocent purchaser, but does not say
where he bought them. The county did
not receive a cent from the issue of bonds,
and until suit wns commenced it is stated
the whereabouts of the bonds was not
known. The Legislature in 1S7."i appointed
a committee to investigate certain irregu
larities and among them the Comanche
County bond issue, it being claimed the
county had been fraudulently organ
ized and the issuing of bonds a
big steal. The Attorney General, A.
L. AVilliams, was tone of the com
mittee and in his report to the Legisla
ture he used this forcible language:
"Comanche w as organized solely for plun
der. The vast amount of bonds issued by
it had seriously impaired our credit abroad.
To issue these bonds required wholesale
forgery and perjury. When this county
is properly attached to some other county
for judicial purposes, tho thieves who
issued those bonds should be attended to.
The State, through its Attorney General
nnd the proper County Attorneys should
put every engino of the law in force;
should pursue, capture, try, convict and
lockup these rogues, so that our credit
may be restored, aud other incipient ras
cals of like character, quickened with a
similar ambition, may bedeterred'from the
crime through fear of a like fate."
The Governor has written another letter
to Washington on the Indian question.
This is to the Secretary of the Interior, in
which he protests against the location of
the Apache Indians, now in Arizona, upon
"No Man's Land," west of the Indian Terri
tory. Such a transfer, the Governor says,
in his judgment will be a grosser violation
of the spirit, if not of the letter, of tho act
of Congress of February 17, 1879, than
would the transfer of these turbulent and
savage Indians to the heart of the Indian
Territory. He therefore hopes that the
suggestion said to have been made that
the Apaches be traniferred to "No Man's
Land," will not be accepted by the author
ities of the United States.
It is said that the oat crop of the pres
ent year will bo the largest ever grown in
Kansas.
The official canvass of the vote cast at
Topeka last spring elected Mr. II. S. Clark
Justice of the Peace by two majority over

which shows the. contestant to have been
elected by thirteen votes, or an error in
the original count of fifteen votes against
Searle.

Strikers The Rtsult.
Cleveland, O., July 16. The antici
pated collision bnrecn the strikers and
police occurred "yterday afternoon at
four o'clock. A meeting of the striking
Iron workers was held at Xewberg yester
day afternoon and several reporters who
entered were savagely thrawu out. After
the meeting 700 men, mostly Poles and
Bohemians formed into line and marched
to the Plate mill, which was in operation.
Tho men in the Plate mill are not affected
by the reduction and were opposed to
stopping work in the first place. They
were forced out by the 'foreigners and re
mained idle until yesterday. The mob in
creased in numbers as it progressed, and
when it arrived at the mill it aggregated at
Irast 1.000 men. The strikers were armed
with clubs studded with nails, pieces of
iron and large stones. The fifty
policemen on duty were supplied with
maces twenty-two indies long, and with
self-acting revolvers. They were stationed
at the iEtna street entrance to the mill
j anls. A picket fence fifteen feet high en
closes the grounds.- The gate was open
and near it were the police. JEtna street
at this point is sixty feet wide, and is
paved w ith cinders and slag from the neigh
boring furnaces. Thirty-four additional
policemen were scattered in the milL At
3:45 the patrolmen were ordered home to
rest, preparatory to going on duty at night
They started down -Etna street and met
the strikers. They turned and double
quicked it to the mill. They were
hooted and stoned by tho strikers.
Deputy Superintendent McMahon gae the
order to fall in, and a line was formed about
thirty feet from the mill gate. The mob
approached, and McMahon asked what was
wanted. One of the leaders replied that
they were determined to close the mill. The
polico officers argued with them, but to no
puriiose. The men in the rear ranks began
to throw stones. There was considerable ,
hard talk, a push forward and then a rush. I
The police advanced and the two forces
met. The strikers threw stones, slags and
cinders, and flourished their clubs. The
policemen used their maces and drove the
strikers back inch by inclu The strikers
fell by the score and reeled away with
blood streaming down their faces. They
poured a terrific show er of stones, however,
into the police, but could not nse their clubs
to any advantage. Finally they fell back
ery rapidly, and the police seeingtheir op
portunity, charged on a run, jelling as they
went. The w hack of their maces could be
heard for long distances. Fallen strikers
lined -Etna street and their wives and
sweethearts bore them away as fast as
possible. The mob broke and ran, but the
police kept up an untiring whack until
eery striker was driven out of sight of tho
mill." The result of the battle was as fol
lows: Patrolman Manzelman, two deep cuts
on the head; Patrolman Caldwell, badly
cut on the head; Patrolman White, hit on
the head with a club; Patrolman Kecse,
struck- on the ..wrist and badly Injured;

Mnv Yet Cive Trouble.
Omaha, Nkh., July 10. General How
ard, commanding the department of the
Platte, has returned to Omaha from Salt
Lake City, in which place he spent the
Fourth of July. He says there is great ap
prehension there over the feeling existing
between the Gentiles and the Mormons,
which has been greatly intensified by the
insult offered by the Mormons to the flag.
The end is not yet and serious trouble niaj
occur any hour, on the slightest pretext
The Gentiles and the United States soldieri
are very indignant The bitterness of feel
ing is much greater than the public isawai
of, as the half has not been told in th
published accounts. There is antici
pat ion of an outbreak being pre
cipitated any day. The War Depart
ment has made preparations for it Bj
order of General Howard, the troops thai
w ere to leave Fort Douglas and Fort Lara
mie for Kansas, to suppress the Cheyennes,
hae been retained at those posts. A col
lision between the Mormons and Gentiles h
looked for on the 24th of this month, whicL
is a great day with the Mormons, it being
the nnnnersary of the settlement of Utah.
They come in by thousands on that day t
Salt Lake froin all parts of the Territory tc
unite in the celebration. Should they at
tempt to repeat any such performance as
they carried out on the Fourth of July,
there will probably be bloodshed. The
Mormons in Salt Lake are all armed. On
the Fourth of July they gave evidences ol
this by freely flourishing revolvers in tht
facepf the Gentiles, and defying and insult
ing them. Backed by the many thousand;
who will be at Salt Lake on the anniver
sary day, they, no doubt ill be inclined tc
be more defiant and. insulting than before,
and will imite and challenge a conflict
Wind and Rain.
Lee's Summit, Mo., July 10. B.epcrt
liave been received here of considerable
damage by a storm of wind and rain which
swept over the country to the east and
northeast of this place Tuesday at fiv
o'clock. A portion of the farm residence
of John Untchins was blown down, the
barn of J. B. Tong unroofed, and an unoc
cupied bnilding near Union Point Church

in every direction; fruit and shade trees
stripped of their branches and the harvested
wheat and growing crops suffered severely.
The storm was from the noitb, accompa
nied by a heavy fall of rain, and while ii
had no appearance of a cyclone and it;
track was limited in width, it is said to
have been very severe. No injury to per
sons or stock is reported.

GREAT FIRE IN WASHINGTON.
StIUon Hntchlm Loin Heavily Yaloable
Plates and Presses Destroyed.
WAsinXGTOK, July 17. About eight
o'clock last evening a fire broke out sud
denly in the Post building, at the comer of
Tenth and D streets, and soon the upper
stories were wrapped in names. The build
ing was occupied by the Washington Daily
Pont, the XatUmal Republican, the Wash
ington Critic, the Sutulny Qazette, the
United States Electric Light Company and
several other tenants. The editorial, com
posing and press rooms of the four papers
are completely ruined and the business of
fices flooded with water. The build
ing, which is owned by Stilson Hatch
ins, was valued af SS0,000 and Us said to
be coered by insurance. Both Uie Ptwtand
Republican used the same press, valued at
520,000; insured for S15.000. The Critic
press was valued at 915,000, and is sup
posed to have been insured. In the base
nieut of the Republican office was a press
owned by ex-Secretary Chandler and valued
at $25,000, There were in the building also
the plates of Mr. Stilson Hutchins' new
book, entitled "The National Capital, Wash
ington, Past and Present" The plates
were very valuable ami are a total loss.
Besides the plates 5,000 copies of. the new
work were burned. The Gazette Is ow ned
by Thomas S. Monow, whose loss is not
heavy. The total loss will reach 5150,000,
about two-thirds of which is covered by In
surance. While the origin of the fire is
not known it is believed to have broken
out in the enpine room of the electric light
company. The plant of this company was
in Uie Post building, and soon after the fire
broke out every electric light in the town
was suddenly extinguished, leaving certain
quarters of the city in comparative dark
ness. A SPANISH CONSPIRACY.
Discovery of an Organization Whose Ob
ject is to Organize a Spanlth Republic.
Madkid, July 1C A widespread con
spiracy In which ex-insurgents receutly ex
pelled from Badajoz figure as leader?., has
been unearthed by the police. Its raiAtfica
tions extend throughout the northeastern
provinces of Aragon and Catalonia. The
insurgents established headquarters near
the City of Mataro, from whence mani
festos of a revolutionary character were Is
sued, and through agents the various vil
lages and towns organized bands of anned
men formed and sworn to overthrow the
.nonarchy ami to- aid in the formation of a
republic The police having been informed
that a meeting pf some of the insurgent
had been arranged to take place yesterday
in a house located in the city of Zamgossa.
The police made a descent on the place and
-o completely surprised the conspirators
that they succeeded in capturing the entire
ijang. The police also secured fully a hun
dred rifles of the most improved pattern and
quantity of ammunition. Colonel Magallon,
leader of the band, was summarily tried by a
ourt martial and sentenced to be shot lie
freely acknowledged that a conspiracy ex
isted to overthrow the Government and ex
pressed no regret for the part he had taken
in the movement Another band of insur
gents was discoered by the military drill
ing in the outskirts of the city of Mataro.
Fully one-half of their number was cap
tured. The others escaped, leaving arms
and accoutrements behind them.
ROUGH ON LABOR UNIONS.
Jotlce Snell Gives Particular Fits to ths
Washington Tailors Union and Similar
Societies.
Washington, July 17. In court yester
day Judge Snell disposed of the case grow
Inc out o&the threats made by the union
tailors against the non-union men, aud said:
"This is a land of freedom, and foreigners
come here to enjoy 'American freedom.
They get a higher price for their labor than
they ever did before, as the labor statistics
ol other countries show. You come here
from Italy, Germany, Aastria and every
other country, and as soon as you get here
you join a labor union and propose to control
the price of labor In this country. Hie peo
ple of this country arc not going to stand
this. The time will soon come when per
sons in this country will be able to employ
laborers as cheap as they can, and pay them
in proportion to their work, without the in
terference of labor unions. It is agreed
that the greatest nuisances we have in this
country are those infernal unions, and-the
sooner we get rid of them the better.
These men are made tools of by the unions
aud go to non-union men under the pretext
f giving friendly advice. They are sent
as messengers just the same as by the old
ku-klux mode."
Gathering Thero In.
Bloomisotox, Ili, July 17. Chief of
Police James Stone arrived this morning
from Paducah, Ky., with Henry A. Wil
liams, one of the leaders of the Metropolis,
III., insurance swindle. Williams is a
rather prominent resident of Paducah,
being the owner of two farms and a general
country store. lie is a relative of the ex
amining physician for the different insur
ance companies, and did more toward the
organization of this fraudulent scheme than
any other person, obtaining for his sen ices
several thousand dollars. He was placed in
ail in this city to await the action of the
grand jury of this county, being arrested
upon complaint of the Bloomington Mutual
Life Insurance Company. Nine of these
swindlers are now in jaiL-
LosDoy, July 16. This morning's Daily
Telegraph double leads the following:
"At this moment there seems little prospect
of coming to an understanding with the
Russian foreign office. The tone of the
English communications has been conclla
tory but firm, and there is no likelihood of
any solution of the difficulty save by Rus
sia's consenting to carry out the settlement
agreed upon by Mr. Gladstone's Govern
ment and the foreign office of Russia. The
situation has became decidedlyserious."
The Horning Ports Berlin correspondent
says: "One 'should not be surprised to
learn at any moment that the Afghans and
Russians have come to blows."

THE DOLPHIN AGAIN,
Cx-Seeretary Chandler Makes a Few Xe
marks Anent the Kscent Oflalea of At
torney-Geasral Garbrad la the Delphi
Boston-, Mass., July 15. Ex-Seere-lary
Chandler has -written to the Journal
in reference to Attorney-General Gar
land's decision, that the contract with
Mr. Roach to build the Dolphin is void,
that payments to Mr. Roach arc Illegal
and may be recovered aad.thathe Gor-
eminent should seize and 'hold the Dol
phin as security for repayment Mr.
Chandler says:
"Mr. Garland's and Mr. Whitney's as
sumed fundamental condition of the
statute is nowhere contained ia its terms
It appropriates for, four ships as ream1 1
mended by the Naval Advisory Board- ,
Tbey find that the Board recommended
that the dispatch boat should have a? sea
speed of seventeen knots; and then they
say such speed la a vital prerequisite to
be absolutely guaranteed Injmy coHtract..
for construction which may be made, al
though by the express terms ot the. law
the designs of the ship, la de
tail, were to be made by the
Department, and the contractor was to
have nothing to say or do about them.
The proposition Is weak and slender,
with no foundation of law or sense to
support it It would seem as if the
newspaper report of Mr. Garland's opin
ion must be Incorrect At first he is
made to say of the clause in the contract
that the ship should be built la accord
ance with the provisions of the acts
Congress:
"1 am of opinion that this covenant
bound the contractor as effectively to
make a ship of a sea speed of seventeen
knots as though he had agreed to do so
in express words."
But later be says of the clause which
provides that the contiactor shalLnot be
responsible for failure to develop 230
horse power, if it is not due to defective
workmanship or material; ,
"The obvious intention of this was ta
relieve the contractor of all responsibility
as to the speed and power of the ship,
and therefore, be says' It follows that the
contract exists between Mr. Roach and
the United States,' and that be mast pay
back all moneys received by him, and
hand over the Dolphin as security that he
will."
This reasoning can not be the work of
good lawyers. If Mr. Roach did guar
antee speed as effectively as It he had
agreed to do so in express words, the
contract can not be absolutely void, be
cause elsewhere is a clause which re-.
lieves him from a guarantee of horse,
power. Let It be noticed that this
wicked assault upon Mr.' Roach by
two newly fledged Cabinet Ministers
revelling In misused power, Is perpe
trated solely for the assumed reason that
the Dolphin has net fifteen knots
sea snecd. when in fact, oa every one-of
her several trial trips, she has reached
fifteen
PvJ
K3-.
at sea in
Wbitnty.but Mr. Whitney, enraged at the
result, says the sea was not high enoagh
and fifteen knots sea speed means seven
teen and a half knots, when there Is sot
a high sea, and upon this arbitrary as
sumption the whole fabric, of outrage
committed by him Is built.
THE PRESIDENT.
Callers at the White House The Fresl
dent's Summer Vacation to be Spent is
the Woods.
Washington, D. C, July 16. Tho
President had a host of callcis yesterday.
Among them were nearly all the Con
gressmen at present In the city, aad R.
Barnwell Rhett, of South Carolina. In
the afternoon Governor Pltane called,
but did not see the President. The
President resumed his carriage rtdcsLsxs-
terday afternoon, his companion being
Speaker Carlisle. After a long ride -tho
two gentlemen dined together at the
White House. On his summer, vacation
the President will not be accompanied,
by either his secretary or ,
any member of his Cabinet;
D. Ward, of Albany, who was with him
last year In the Adirondacks, has again
been Invited to go, and it is probable
that not more than one or possibly two
personal friends of the President will
compose the party. They will stop at a
small hotel la the woods, which will bev
their headquarters, and a telegraph op- '
erator will be present at all times ia case ,
bis services are required. The Presi
dent can thus be easily communicated
with on Important questions If necessary.
Business cares will be laid aside tem
porarily, and he will devote himself tc
recuperating and preparing for a wintei
of bard work at Washington. The length -of
his stay will be determined by the con
dition of public affairs, but he has been
advised to remain away from Washing-
ton durinz September If possible, as this
Is the most trying month of the year to
strangers in this climate.
