NO REPLY FROM M'KINLEY
President Not Likely to Take Action inthe
Absence of a Definite Plan.
The President haa received the resolution
adopted by the Pittsburg Council asking
him to use his good offices in the settlement
of the coal strike, but has not yet sent a re-
ply. He has also received many communi-
cations and suggestions on the subject, but
it is improbable that he will take any action
in the matter in the absence of some deBuite

PREPARED FOR THE RUSH,
Millions of Bushels of Grain Ready for
Deportation Out West,
Long trains of empty freight cars have
rolled out of Kansas City for two weeks and
dropped off in twos, threes and fives on side
tracks along the lines of the railroads in
Missouri, lows, Kansas, Nebraska and Ok-
laboma. These empty freight cars, of which
there are thousands, will be filled with new
*#7 wheat inside of four or five weeks
A tremendous grain rush is expected, and
the best of management by railroad officials
will be neaded to prevent a boge gradi
blockade, or a grain car famine, Conserve
tive estimates of crop statisticians place the
yisld of wheat for this year in Kansas ar 60,-
