Gives Out Statement Concerning Semi-Centennial. Governor Stanley urges the people of Kansas to united effort to make the yemi-cente-nnial exposition a success. The governor had the following state ment prepared for publication: "It will require a united effort upon the part of the people of all sections to interest the different counties and cities In the enterprise. It will need general support to give it something more than a local significance, to get the necessary appropriation from the legislature, and it will need the earnest and enthusiastic co-operation of our senators and mem bers of congress, backed by the heany indorsement of their constituents, to se cure a reasonable appropriation from congress. Before we can get un appro priation from congress we must have a reasonable appropriation from our own legislature, Before we can get one from ' our own legislature, we must have gen erous contributions from our towns and cities, and esuecially generous ones lrom the localities entering into compe tition for this exposition, if there is to be any competition, and before we can ask the difterent localities to enter the competition or give their donations, we .must have a reasonable subscription of Ftock, and the amount fixed in the char ter, S.'O.edO, is not unreasonable. This jiubscription, however, will not be secur ed by promiscuous talk, but can only be secured by close organization and rea sonable effort. " The board of directors ought to be called together at an early day, perfect their organization, and the directors In the several congressional districts or other suitable persons selected, should - thoroughly organize their district in an effort to secure stock, and give the movement definite shape and character. "The very tlrst step in this enterprise hould be the enlistment of the press of the state, and the organization should be so absolutely devoid of partisan or local bias that the newspaper:! may be induced to take hold of it without re gard to their location or their political bias, and give the movement an enthus iastic start. If the newspapers can be induced to take the matter up and give it earnest support, and the directors in the several congressional districts can be induced to organize their several dis tricts and secure the necessary sub scription of stock, the success of the en terprise will be assured. All of this pre liminary work ought to be absolutely gratuitous. Those who are intrusted with putting the movement on its feet ought to be generous enough to do it without compensation. As the work progresses, it will be necessary, of course, to have paid employes, but Dav- ment for services ought net to be thought of until the move.Tier.t is well underway." BAKER IS PLEASED. Senator Says He Will Easily Be Re elected. United States Senator Lucien Baker ha3 given out the following statement of his views and strength in the sena torial contest: "I have not been in the habit of con ducting any campaign, or in fact any matter of business in which I am in terested, with a brass band. and through all my senatorial career you will prob ably find that the things than I have done or have accomplished, hive gen erally become known through the news papers long after they were consum mated. "I am greatly pleased with the gen eral party outlook in Kansas this year, and the magnitude of our success at the approaching election will astonish a great many politicians who, by habit, are disposed to adopt a conservative , view, My correspondence, svhich is from the old veterans, points to the in evitable conclusion that President Mc Kinley and Governor Stanley and the remainder of the Republican ticket will carry the state by majorities running well up into the thousands. "Yof may say that so far as I am personally concerned I am more than satisfied. The result of legislative nom inations in the past two months has verified careful estimates made as long as five months ago. While I have lost in two or three districts upon which I relied. I have gained in five that were not originally counted on, and I think you will discover when the legislature meets that I will have a good, sub stantial working majority of the Re publican members. -This is all I care to say excepting that my friends have been earnestly requested to work for the election of the party nominees in their respective districts without regard to their sena torial preferences. The success of the party generally, is above and beyond all of my personal ambitions." THREE WEHE KILLED. Fireworks Factory Explosion in Phil adelphia Creates Havoc. Philadelphia, June IS. Three men were killed and fourteen persons were injured, none fatally, Sunday, by an explosion of gunpowder and dynamite used in the manufacture of fireworks. The dead are: PEXTALION DEJANNO. FRANCISCO OTANGIULIA. CAR1IINO MARINO. The explosion occurred at the dwell ing of Giangiulia, on Schell street. The third floor was utilised for manufac turing cannon crackers and other fire works. It is not known just how the accidert occurred, but it is believed that the thre men who were killed were smoking in the room containing1 the explosives and that sparks from one of their pipes fell into the powder or dynamite. The house was completely -wrecked and every other dwelling in the block, was damaged more or less seriously. SUPERINTENDENTS HERE. Work of Stringing New Santa Fe Time Card Commenced.

A special to the Times-Herald- from Phoenix, Ariz., says: Hight thousand Pima Indians in the Gila reservation, thirty miles from Phoenix, are destitute, and a like num ber of Fapagoes are on the verge of starvation. S. H. McCowen, superintendent of the Phoenix Indian industrial school, has been directed by the interior depart ment to make an examination into the condition of the Plmas. He declares that the sole salvation of the Indians is in federal appropriation, for the con? struction of a storage reservoir. "An appropriation of $33,000," said Mr. McCowen, "has been made for the relief of the distitute Pimas. Rations will be distributed before the end of the summer, but the appropriation will mot preclude a recurrence of the famine." TO TISIT YELLOWSTONE. ROBERTS TO END WAR By Cutting Off Communications With Delagoa Bay. New York, June IS. A dispatch to the Tribune from London, says: The opinion prevails at Cape Town that the Delagoa Bay communications will be cut off speedily and the war be brought to a close. There have beer many untrustworthy rumors about secret expeditions towards Komatipoort but there has been no definite informa tion that any movement of this kind is in progress through Swaziland. Iord Roberts' own plan of campaign, seems to involve complete separation of the Free State and the Transvaal forces by the occupation of the rail way between Johannesburg and Laing3 Nek, which will probably be captured this week. Press dispatches indicate'that no ad vance has been made from Volksrust toward Ermelo. and that there has been no change in the situation ii the Free State. General Rundle's division is skirmishing with the commandoes, but only insignificant outpost affairs are reported with some artillery firing near Ficksburg. The ministerial crisis at Cape Town is believed to be at an end, and Sir John Gordon Sprigg is reported to have received assurances from Mr. Schrein er's group which will enable him to enter office.
