got a % per cent. increase by striking
in July, 1895, from Is to 20 per cent.
The men who compelled the company
to give them 10 per cent. increase by
striking in May. 1895, are not affected
by the new scale.
The notice posted says: I'm case it is
found necessary to make further reduc-
tions in the above scale thirty days

time that they demand an increase of
wages to take effect

day: This readjustment leaves the
wages in our mills per cent. higher
than the highest wages paid in the
Pittsburg mills, our competitors. We

LEADVILLE (Col), Nov. 21.-The
report Of a probable sympathetic strike

founded by the union officials.
About a hundred recruits from Den

BUTTE (Mont), Nov 21.-The report
from Denver and Leadville that there
would be general strike of miners in
Montana out of sympathy with the
Leadville strikers is denied by officers
of the Butte Miners Union and by off
GERS of the Western Federation of Min :
ers. They say that such a strike would
be worse than useless and would involve
Montana in trouble from which the
miners could hope to gain nothing.
The report that the mine-owners in

Union has sent $1,000 to the Leadville

TAX INHERITANCE LAW,
Declared Unconstitutional by an IL
linOiS Judge.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Judge Carter of
the County Court has decided that the
tax inheritance law passed by the last
Illinois Legislature is unconstitutional.
The decision was rendered in the es-
tate of the late John b. Drake against
which the County Attorney began pro-
ceedings several months ago in the
County Court to collect the tax. The
object of the proceeding was to test the
validity of the law. Judge Carter held
that the law is in conflict with the
Constitution because it makes a classi-
fication of inheritances which is not
uniform. If the decision of Judge
Carter is upheld by the Supreme Court
it will deprive Cook County of at least
SoOO00O this year, and the steadily in
creasing annual revenue that would
have amounted in less than a decade
to more than 81 100000. Between $50,
O0U.O0U and $4,000, 600 worth of estates
have been waiting in the Probate Court

LITTLE DOUBT IT WAS MURDER
THE DEATH OF FRANK ARBUCKLE
AT NEW YORK.
Detectives Tracing His Movements
Up to the Time He Was Found
in the Street.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The four pris-
oners in the Arbuckle case were
brought to the Harlem Police Court this
morning, arraigned and held in $500
bonds each for their appearance on
Monday.
Further light upon the movements of
Frank Arbuckle of Denver in the hours
Immediately preceding the time when
be was found dying in lonely spot
in the northern part of the city last
Thursday morning has been found by
detectives.
Arbuckle went to the ST. Charles Ho-
tel, Sixth avenue and Forty-fourth
street. after leaving Lagrange on Thir-
ty-third street, near Sixth avenue. He
arrived at the st. Charles at 12:43 a. m.,
and introduced himself to the bartender,
Fred Trustworthy. He was accompa-
MED by a cabnan and two men whom
he had picked up on the sidewalk. The
party had drinks together.
Arbuckle at that time had his money.
watch and jewelry. He was very much
under the influence of liquor.
Trustworthy told the detectives he
suggested to Arbuckle that he leave his
money and valuables in the hotel safe
and take room for the night, as he was
not in condition to take care of himself
"Oh, I'm all right Arbuckle is said
TO have replied
He left the hotel alone, walked down
Sixth avenue and boarded the north
bound elevated railway train. Arbuckle
reached the terminus of the elevated
road at One Hundred and F'ifty-first t
street at / 40 o'clock, descended to the
street, and was seen ito walk south on
Eighth avenue, having his watch and
diamonds in his possession.
Detective O'Brien of the Detective
Bureau practically admitted his belief
that Arbuckle had been murdered.
Captain O'Brien informed a repre-
sentative of tire United Associated
Associated Presses to-day that his
fnnd was confused at the outstart by
the statement that man who was pre-
suEned 10 be Mr. ArbuckIe had been
drinking in the Casino about 10 O'Clock
ednesday evening. This was proved
false when the detectives found that
Mr. Arbuckle was at a late hna,r in a
saloon on Fourteenth street and had

evening.

SHORT SESSION OF CONGRESS-
FAVORED BY SENATOR rIcr1ILLAN
OF niCHIGAN.
The Dingley Bill Should be Passed
This Winter, and Then an Early
Adjournment Follow.

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-senator
Mcmillan of Michigan, in response to a
request by a United Associated Presses
representative, makes the following
statement, in which he takes strong
grounds favoring as short sessions OF
Congress as possible, and the passage
of the Dingley bill at once. He says:
For the past four years the business
interests of this country have been in
a continuous state of uncertainty and
disturbance, due very largely to legis-
lative action, or inaction. The business
men could not look into the future with
that degree of confidence absolutely
necessary to the success of their under
takings. More than this, the constant
and steady drift toward rising stand
ard of silver, coupled with revenues in
adequate to the expenses of the Gov
ernment, led to sharp contractions in
the volume of money seeking invest
ment
The recent election has established
the policy of maintaining at a parity
all the different kinds of money in use
in this country, and to that extent has
quieted the apprehensions of those who
feared that money loaned would be
returned, if at all, in deprecated
medium. The capital of the world has
thus become once more at the disposal
Of our industries, unless some new
alarm shall again close the purse
strings. Such alarm can be created
most easily by continued sessions of
Congress at time when business needs
nothing but non-interference by legis-
lation. AT the same time revenues ad-
equate to support the Government must
be provided, in order to prevent the
withdrawal of the gold necessary to
maintain the parity Of the various
kinds of money
I'm my Judgment the best thing that
could possibly happen would be the
passage of the Dingley bill, modified in
some respects, perhaps, at the coming
session of Congress, and no extra ses-
sion. This result, if reached at all,
can be attained only by union of the
sound money Senators on both sides of
the Senate, the end being simply to OBJ
tain sufficient revenue, which is not a
party question. Republican success in
the pivotal States of the Middle West
was attained by the assistance of the
sound money Democrats, and in reve-
nue. legislation they are entitled to be
consulted.
IF the revenues shall be thus in
creased the financial question may
safely be left until the new Secretary OF
the Treasury can present to Congress
an adequate plan for making such re-
forms or changes as may be necessary
to place the monetary system in good
working order.
"The country is now in a position to
make rapid strides commercially, and
it would be the worst possible policy for
Congress to place distractions in the
way of rapid recovery by creating fresh
alarms. Therefore the shorter the time
that Congress is in session the better"

Cambridge men had substituted four
players for the ones who started. Penn
sylvania, In contrast, had but one man
hurt throughout the game, and he
speedily recovered. Further, Pennsyl
vania was playing with greater dash
and energy when time was finally called
than when they began the game, while
Harvard's men seemed played almost to
a standstill.
Harvard scored its six points ON a
touchdown and a goal in the first half,
and Pennsylvania made its eight in the
second half from safety touchdown, a
touchdown and goal.
The frequent injuries to the Harvard
men drew the first half-hour to an
hours time, and this caused long dis
cussion over decision by Referee
Hickok and dragged the second half
along for an hour and a half, and when
| the game was over it was almost dark.
For Harvard, Cabot, Moulton and the
backs played star games. Wheeler in
the first half for Harvard did good
work. Boyle for Pennsylvania was
Moulton's equal at end, and in the sec
ond half the entire Pennsylvania team
played as a ur.t, eAod simply swept
Harvard from their feet. One man
stood out above all others of the two
teams for his magnificent playing. This
was Captain Wharton. He never gave
grander exhibition of football than he
did to-day. He held his men in line, sell
dom failing to gain his distance. and his
tackling away out on the ends was re-
markable.
Harvard to-day closed the football

SOLID SOUTH BROKEN.
An Entering Wedge Driven, Which

CANTON (O.), Nov. 21.-Major Nc
Kinley remained indoors all day on ac-
count of inclement weather. He had a
large number of callers. John S. Wise
of New York came this morning and
remained ti1l afternoon, taking lunch
with Major Mckinley. Mr.. Wise thinks
an entering wedge has been driven into
the solid South, and the people of that
section are more keenly alive to their
material interest than to politics He
is of the ouinion that all that has
been gained in Major McKinley's cleo
ton has been held, and that new ground
will be won each year by the party of

Kinley is very popular man in the
South, and one whom the people love

posed to follow his leadership.

tious, she worked SO hard at school that
her health broke down and she became
deaf. This affection has partly remained
to this day, but it drove her more into
herself no doubt and helped to concen-
trate her thoughts upon literature. She
wrote necessarily and had attained some
degree of success as a poet and general
writer at the age of 10. Three years
later she produced her first novel,

great success. 1t has been read in
