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. STATE 8A3GEKFEST. It Will Be Held in Topeka Saturday ami Sunday.

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.
