produced 10000, 600 tons OF coal and
paid in wages $50, 100000.

mic on Sept 25
The regular monthly meeting of the
Volunteer Firemen's Mutual Beneficial
association was held last night at the
rooms in Durr's hotel. John r. Kline,
the regular chairman, has been ap-
pointed permanent man at the Frank
lin engine house, and necessarily he
was not able to devote the time and at
tention to the Office of president of the
association which he felt was due to it..
His resignation was read and accepted
and T. f. Noone, Of the Excelsior Hose
company, unanimously elected to fill
out the unexpired term.
The association decided to parade
with the fire department on Firemen 8
day. Sept. 49, and to bring out the old
Neptune hand engine on the occasion.

and the report was adopted with a

an overwhelming majority of the
delegates were still under the spell
of the star-eyed goddess and
her "old Kentucky home," and
when the question was put, the viva

instead of demanding call Of the roll,
bowed acquiesceucs and gracefully re-
tired from the field. Upon the call of
departments for nominations for COM

eulogistic speeches. The election was

MODERN FAIRY TALE.
Elizabeth Sage, Poor Orphan, Finds
Wealthy Relatives.

CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. 12.-Twelvs-
year old Elizabeth X, Sage, of Glouces-
ter, who for the past two months has
been protege of Surrogate G orge S.
West, of Camden, sailed today on the
steamer Friesland from New York to
join wealthy relatives in Belgium. The
latter, sent generous sum to defray
her expenses She will be met at Ant
werp by her aunt, the Countess La
Sage.
The father Of Elizabeth K, Sage, left
Belgium a number of years ago on &C c.
count of family trouble and settled in
Gloucester, after being married to a
Camden woman. Two years ago after
the birth of Elizabeth. the wife
died and three months ago the
father expired. Friends of the
orphan took an interest in her
case and appealed to the Or
phan's court in her behalf. Judge
Vroom appointed Surrogate West as
her guardian and the latter learned
that his charge had very wealthy rela-
tives in Brussels. Through the Belgian
minister and the American consul it
was found that the child was the neice

Miss La Sage has been attending a

though he was comparatively poor.

The Chinese Army Fortified at Bing
chong, With Korean allies.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 12.-Files Of
the Japan Advertiser aud the Kobe
japan Herald have been received here
by way of Victoria. and brings news of
the war to August 25
After the battles of Ason and Xix
wan many of the defeated Chinese
made their way to Bing Chong, where
n part of the army was posted. There
is now large force there, as Chinese
troops numbering about 10000 have ar
rived from Aujun. The Chinese Or
dered the governor to supply rice for
the use Of the army. Two thousand
Chinese troops have also arrived at Ho
san Chin, ou the banks of the Tai Dong
river, and have started to build fort
to defend the position. They are col.
lecting rice and other provisions in tho
neighborhood. A Japanese general
says that the battle which will take
place soon at Bing Chong will have
important bearing on the ultimate out
come of the war in Korea.
According to the correspondent Of
the Japan Advertiser there are now in
Korea 81. 600 troops. OF this number
800 are cavalry. The Chinese army
numbers about the same. the main
body being encamped at Ping Yang,
where formidable earthworks have
been thrown up. This will be the
Chinese base of operations in Korea
Besides the Chinese, the same CORE
spondent asserts, that there are 20, 900
Koreans arraysd against the japanese.
but as most of these are poorly armed
or unarmed, they no not constitute a
formidable force. When they joined
the Chinese army, they were supplied
by the latter with riffs, as it was in
tended that they greatly strengthen
the Celestials

In order to find job for General Ca
bezss, who. with Commissioner Madriz,
has been in control OF s~the rese rves, he
has been made collector Of customs for
the Port Of Coctillo, but his office will
be in Greytown
There are several novel articles in
the set of laws which have been pro-
mulgated by Cabezqs and Madriz. The
right OF suffrage has a pr operty qualifi.
cation to it to the amount of $500. An
other article binds a man electe d to
office to serve his full term or suffer a
fine of $50 day during his absence
from duty. ....

for five years only; thus when the
property is made valuable by cultiva-

government will, doubtless, refuse to
re-l lease the property. and will take it
and its Improvements to swell the
purse of some officeholder, or some
person to whom the government is
under obligations. The other condi-
tions concerning the lease of land will
be regulated by the municipal authori-
ties, but again these regulations will

The municipal administration Of
other towns and villages will be exer.

CaheZas and Madriz have changed to a
great extent the laws governing navi-
CATION and trading along the coast.
After some consideration they decide
that no boat flying foreign flag should
be allowed to trade within the waters
Of Nicaragua.
1t IS a fact that there are no boats
trading in the Mosquito river which do
fly the Nicarsguan fag, and they wish
to force all American and Columbian
vessels to register under the Nicara-
guam colors before they will allow them
to conduct business in which they
have been interested for twenty-five
years. The only objact that can be
seen for such a law is that the Ameri =
can owners with their vessels flying
the Nicaraguan flag will have no ap.
peal to their own government in case
of an outrage

FRABLE NOT PRESENT,
He Said 1t Would Not Have Altered
Matters Even Had He Appeared
Before the Committee.

The joint special committee of coun-
ellis which met last night to investi-
gate the charges made by George Fra
BILE against South Side councilmen ad-
journed without hearing any evidence
on the matter and will so report to
councils. Mr. Frable, who was re.
quested to be present, did not attend
and it has developed that the commit
tee has no right to compel the attead-
ance of any witness.
After the meeting TRIBUNE reporter
saw Mr.. Frable at his place of bueiness,
1928 Stone avenue. He was not inclined
to talk for publication, but after COL
siderable questioning said
THE result Of tonight's meeting
would not have been altered by my
presence. The spirit of my remarks
about councilmen at the South Side
board Of trade meeting was correctly
reported. but in detail they were in
correct.
When asked to make an explicit
statement through The TRIBUNE, Mr..
FraDle- decidedly refused, but some
information was obtained as follows
after considerable persuasion:
1T is fact that there exists a posi-.
bility of entering ficticious names on
street work payrolls without the act
being known; it is fact that alleged
assignments for small amounts have
been made to councilmen, and
it necessarily follows that it is
possible for these men to receive as
sgnments of greater amounts. 1t is
also true that $3.50 has been paid for
picking tin cans and cobble stones
from eight blocks of one street, which
no sane man will admit is reasona BILE.
Now. l know these things to be true,
and l think the system is loose and
should be changed. don't accuse any
councilman of crookedness, but do say
there is too much opportunity for it. I"
Mr.. Frable said he would be present
at tomorrow nights meeting of the
South Side board of trade and would
"be heard from then," to use his
words.

BERLIN, Sept. IL
| n INTERVIEWS with M. Witte, the
Russian minister Of finance, is ac-
cording to representatives OF the
u German and Austrian press Mt Alb
bazia, are causing sensation in Europe.
The utterances OF the Russian minister
are regarded as hopeful sign of peace.
In the latest interview published M.
Witte declared that it was never Rus.
sin's intention to transform Bulgaria
into Russian province and he dwelt
upon the pacific intentions Of the car,
saying:
During the past six years the danger
OF war has frequently arisen, but the
czar's will alone maintained peace.
During these years he has not de-
liyered a single speech or made a
single remark which alluded in any
way to the possibility of war. On the
other hand, the bellicoss speeches OF
other monarchs must be remem bered.
How often has Russia heard warlike
threatsH But the cZar never answered.
He is his own master and his will is
absolute. He has to reckon with no
parliament. But never since 1870 has
peace been so secure and the European
situation 30 reassuring as at present ]
see no possible danger of complica-
tions."
Referring to the past troubles be-
tween Russia and Turkey, M. Witte
said that the different campaigns
against Turkeylwere brought about by
the necessity that Russia should secure
a free passage through the Dardanelles,
not only for Russian vessels. but for the
vessels of all nations. He said that
since the conclusion of the German
Russian commercial treaty. the situa-
tion Of affairs in Russia had materially
improved and peace was finally con-
solidated.
