CUBAN SCANDALS
Cause Philadelphia Republicans
to Ask Postmaster General
Smith's Resignation.
Philadelphia, June 15. The resigna
tion of Charles Emory Smith, postmas
ter general, is to be demanded by the
Republican clubs of this city, owing to
the gigantic postal frauds in Cuba. The
ball was started rolling Monday night
at a meeting of the Harry P. Wilder
Republican club of the Thirty-second
ward, of which Wm. Porter is president
and which boasts of a membership of
2M, all active party workers in the var
ious election divisions.
On account of the frauds recently
exposed in the postal service in the is
land of Cuba, it is apparent that the
head of the postofflce department at
"Washington can not escape from the
responsibility for the scandal which
consequently attaches to the federal
administration.
In the event of Mr. Smith refusing or
neglecting to yield up his omce. Presi
dent McKinley is requested by the res
olution to remove him summarily. It
reads:
"In view of the fact that General
Alger was obliged to give up the port
folio of secretary of war because of the
scandal growing out of the war with
Spain, it is contended that the rule
that prevailed in the case cf Alger
should be enforced in the case of Smith
and that the postmaster general be held
accountable by the country at large
for the outrageous condition of postai
affairs in Cuba, just as surely as was
General Alger made responsible for the
shortcomings of the war office."
According to the programme outlined
by the various Republican club man
agers, the Wilder club resolutions are
to be adopted by a number of similar
organizations, including the Union Re
publican club, 330 members; Penrose Re
publican club, TOO members; William R.
Leeds association, 1,000 members; First
Ward Republican club, 1.500 members,
and other ward clubs, embracing in all
more than 30.000 members.
This attitude of the Republican clubs,
which are a power in this, Mr. Smith's
own city, and the starting of the move
ment on the eve of a national conven
tion, are regarcled as very significant.
Smith is de facto editor of the Phil
adelphia Press. which has been for years
a bitter opponent of the Republican
state organization.

Hundreds Pouring Into Wichita
From the East
BY TRAIN AND WAGON.
One
Frisco Freight "Had
Men Aboard.
114
Many Tramps Along For a Good
Time Outing.
Wichita, June 13. The town of Wich
ita at present is filled with harvest
hands bound for the west. The recent
advertisement in all the papers over
the country that southern and western
Kansas would have the largest wheat
yield for eight or ten years brought the
unemployed from all over the country,
and there is expected to be trouble in
obtaining sufficient help to reap and put
away the crop.
One freight which arrived over the
Frisco last night brought a gang of 114,
who will scatter over the western and
southern counties. Most of them will go
on to Pratt county, where the farmers
have been advertising extensively for
hands, while some of them will remain
in Sedgwiclc county.
The workmen seem to have come to
Wichita as a place for making their
headquarters and learning where the
most money would be paid. Each in
coming train brought a large party,
and during the past two days it is esti
mated that at least 00 harvest hands
have passed through the city.
Yesterday a party of young farm
hands and the city unemployed arrived
in the city from Bourbon county to find
work in the harvest fields, and reports
all along the road are that more are
following. The overland party com
prised twenty-five and there were sev
eral teams. They only stopped in
Wichita a few hours and wenc on to
Kingman and Pratt counties, where
they hope to go to work immediately.
Harvest has already commenced in
some of the counties and in a week's
time the reaping of soft wheat will be
on in earnest. The eastern hands who
come out expect to receive all the way
from $2 to $4 per day for their labor.
Those who were accompanied by teams
are assured of at least $3 per day in any
of the fields.
The town also contains an immense
number of tramps who say they are on
their way west to work in the harvest
fields. The police have come in contact
with a number of them, but they are
not vagged on this pretense. The police
officers, however, claim that they can
tell the worthy from the unworthy.
Those of the tramps who are headed
for the east don't want work, while the
tramp who goes west really wants to
get to the wheat fields. Being out of
funds they are compelled to beat their
way on the freight trains.
ELECTRICITY'S GOOD WORK.
"Wichita Experts Open a Broken Safe
Containing Money.
Wichita, June 15. City Electrician H.
D.McVay and A. O. Baker, superintend
ent of the Wichita Gas and Electric
Light company, ha.-e given a practical
demonstration cf the methods adopted
by up to date safe blowers.
With an electrical current of 500 volts
and 50 amperes they burned a hole
through the door of a steel safe in a
very few minutes and had it open short
ly thereafter. The hardened steel of
fered no more resistance than would a
cake of wax.
Some time ago the safe belonging to
the Bank of Derby refused to open. The
bank was seriously inconvenienced as
much of their money, papers and ac
counts were kept in it.
The safe was brought to this city and
experts attempted in every way to oper
ate it, but every effort failed. It was
found that the pin which threw the
combination was broken. Attempts were
made to drill it out, but the pin was
made of chilled steel and the drills
broke when being worked upon the
metal.
The officials of the bank did not know
what to do until Mr. Baker and Mr.
McVay offered to burn out the pin with
electricity.
TO EIGHT THE TRUST.
Big Ice Plant to Open Up in Armour
dale at Once.
Kansas City, Kan., June 15. The big

on the old Alcutt site, in Armourdale,
will begin business the early part of

The plant will be one of the largest
and most complete in the two cities
and it will have a capacity of 50 tons
dailv, which will be increased as soon
as the necessary machinery can be pro-
cured to 100 tons. The company intends
to make matters rather interesting for
the ice trust, which now holds Kansas
City and its suburbs in its grasp.
TO KEBUIIiD A BRIDGE.
Big Atchison Concern Must Be Com
pleted by March 1.
Atchison, June 15. It is now definitely
known that the work of rebuilding the
Atchison bridge will commence this fall.
Eight of the largest bridge building
concerns in t"a country have been fur
nished with specifications and plan:;,
and invited to submit bids. They pro
vide that the new draw span must be

that it must be in place one month later,
and the entire work completed by March
1, 1901.
TO ENTERTAIN SOLDIERS.
Company K. Will Have a "Welcome'
Tent at Ottawa Assembly.
Ottawa. June 15. A meeting of the lo
cal members of company K was held
last night to discuss plans for a sum
mer camping expedition.
Instead of deciding to go camping
away from town, however, it was decid
ed to keep open house at the assembly.
Company K will secure one of the
large headquarters tents and will fur
nish it with every convenience for
camping; also with much of the para
phernalia of the army camp. It will be
headquarters not only for the men who
have charge cf the tent but for all ex
soldiers who visit the assembly.
