WILL USE IMPORTED COAL.
Battle ship Oregon to be Ready for
Emergency.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Admral Joseph
N. Miller, who represented the United
States navy as one of the special embassy
from this country in London on the occa-
sion of the Queens jubilee, called at the
Navy Department to-day and made a
formal report of his arrival and the dis
charge of the functions devolved upon him.
He sat for a time as a member of the
board to examine Commodore Norton for
promotion to the grade of admiral and then
spent half an hour in conference with Sec
rotary Long, presumably in reference to
his duties in Hawaii. He expects to sail,
according to his original plan, on the 9Th
of August from San Francisco on one of
the regular merchant steamers. This con-
clusion disposes of the story that the bat
tie ship Oregon is to convey the admiral to
Honolulu. That vessel will be kept in readi-
CO. however, as was evidenced by the fact
that the Navy Department has ordered her
to be supplied at once with as much as
her bunkers will hold of the very best
grade of coal. This means the use of i'm
ported Cornish or Australian coal and is
expected to cause some dissatisfaction
among the Pacific coast coal mining in
terests, but it is regarded necessary at
this time in view of the fact that the
steaming radius of the Oregon with the i'm
ported coal would be as sixty to forty with
the inferior home product, This the de-
partment considers a consideration that
cannot be overcome by the difference in
price.

BEER STAMPS IN DEMAND.
Nearly $3,OOO,OOO Worth Ordered by
Brewers in Two Days.

WASHINGTON, July 22.--There has been
a heavy run on collectors of internal rev.
enue in all of the larger cities Of the coun-
try by brewers, who are purchasing beer
stamps in large quantities at the ~ cents
discount allowed under existing law, in an
ticipation Of the final passage of the tariff
bill, which repeats the discount now al
lowed. The question of whether the beer
stamps purchased now can be affixed to
barrels of beer after the passage of the
tariff bill in payment of the tax of 81 per
barrel fiat has been presented to the COM
ficer has declined to render any decision on
the hypothetical question, stating that the
matter will be passed on only when an aQ-
tual case is presented for his consideration
The acquisitions received from collectors
yesterday were the largest in the history of
the bureau, aggregating over 81, 200, 600. and
to-day those figures have been largely ex-
ceeded the acquisitions aggregating $780,
COO The policy of the bureau has been to
order stamps of all kinds only as fast as
they were required to meet requisition and
maintain a proper supply i'll the vaults and
no steps We're taken to prepare for any
such run as has developed. In consequence
the supply of stamps in the vaults is run
ming very low, and il has been found neces-
sary to cut down the acquisitions from col
lectors so that sufficient stamps might be
kept on hand TO meet the legitimate de-
mands of the trade.

BAILEY CANNOT PLAY CZAR.
Speaker Reed Refuses to Recognize
His CIaim as Minority Dictator.

Special to tie Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 22.-There is excite
ment among Democrats this evening and
amusement among Republicans over the
break between young Mr.. Bailey, leader of
the House Democrats, and Speaker Reed
over the committee appointments. Mr..
Bailey undertook to play the car act on
behalf of the minority and arrOgated unto
himself the right to make committee as
signmentS for the Democrats. Because the
speaker declined to accept all his sugges-
lions Mr.. Bailey became very indignant and
told the speaker to go to the devil; that
he would have nothing whatever to do with
the placing of Democrats on the commit
tees unless he could be the whole thing and
name all the men. He said there could no
more be divided responsibility with the
minority in such matter than there could
be with the majority. He said, furthermore,
that he would announce to all his friends
that he had nothing whatever to do with
the committee assignments. The speaker
laughed at him and the young leader went
away mortified and angry at the treatment
he received at the hands of the big speak
err Mr.. Reed is accused of ''jollying" the
young Texan along until he had no further
use for him and then dropping him.

ism press only under severe pressure and
against his own Judgment. The secretary
mad Just come TO the State Department
after an Illness of a few days. but that
he had kept himself informed during his
stay at home of the affairs of the day was
evident from the fact that he had already
read the story and was prepared to enter
a prompt and specific denial Of the alega-
ton. He said that there was not a word
of truth in it and that as a matter OF
fact he had been in perfect accord with
the President in every step of the cor
respondence relating to the seal question.
The Mexican government, through Mr..
Romero, the Mexican minister has advised
the Department of State that his gov.
eminent will render all the aid possible
to the commissioners Of the United States
government in their investigation TO de-
termine whether the seals on the island
of Guadalupe are the same as those which
breed in the Pribyloff archipelago. The
contention Of our government in the cor
respondence with Great Britain is that
they are not the same. The British experts
have pointed out the number of seals in the
vicinity of Guadalupe island proof that
the seal herds have not diminished in num-
ber alleging that they are the same seals
that migrate in the summer to Boring sea.
The fact to be developed is for the use
of the commission which probably will
meet in Washington next fall if General
Foster succeeds in his mission.

SUPREME COURT CRITICISED.

LAS to any law on any one of the seven
teen subjects mentioned in Section % of
Article of the Constitution and as to any
law for the formation of corporations for
business and profit the question whether
such law may be local or special or must

y Il. CROSSAN, a fireman on the
LEI. NJ, K. & T., had the misfor-
tune to get foot cut off by the cars
early Friday morning. Crossan's en-
gine was at the coal bin, in the south
part Of town, being ''coaled," and he
rode up town on a northbound freight,
intending to jump off and get lunch
before his train pulled up. In getting
of he must have stepped against the
switch, and was thrown with his foot
under the wheels. In this position he
was dragged across the street and the
full length of the depot platform, and
to the railroad crossing, before getting
loose. Drs. Fortner and Bagby dressed
the wound and DR.. Fortner accom-
panied him to Sedalia to the "Katy"
hospital. At last accounts he was
doing fairly well.
