Put .i;.->,hsr Mans Name to Notes He
Gave TO Lawyer Vincent.
Chicago. Dec. 21.-Arnold c. Luetgert,
son Of the sausage-maker, admits that
he forged q name to notes amounting
to A.75o, and turned them over to At
torney William A. Vincent, who was
Luetgert's chief counsel at his first trial
for the murder of his wife. The lawyer
withdrew from the case when he real
lied that he had been deceived, and
when q story that he had been an easy
victim OF young Luetgert was first sug-
gested he endeavored to suppress the
details. He finally admitted that the
young man had told him Of having
forged Endorsements on three notes that
he gave Vincent.
Arnold Luetgert laughed when It was
suggested that trouble might come of
his free use Of signatures not his own,
Arnold said: Il don't see nothing SO
bad about Il. It's a matter between
Vincent and me. II he don't holler it's
nobody's business. did admit to Vim
cent that signed another name besides
my own to the notes, and am ready to
stand by 1t. There's somebody else in
1t. too. but I am willing to take the
blame and stand for the whole thing I
amt afraid. and Vincent's holler won't
do him no good"

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR COAL MEN.
Poor Prcspcc; for IN Agreement on q
Scale for Next Year.

Scale for Next Year.
Pittsburg. Dec. 21.-The coal miners
and operators held separateconventions
yesterday. preliminary to the Joint con-
vention to be held today for the pur-
pose OF fixing the mining rate for 1898.
Both conventions were largely attend
ed. and the important questions which
are TO come UP tod. ,.cre thoroughly
discussed. Judging from the results of
yesterdays work ii would appear that
today's convention will not fix the rate
and another general strike Is one of the
possibilities.
The miners oonventiC 4 was asked by
the uniformity committee to allow a
dinerential Of 10 cetns in favor of the
operators who sign uniformity agree
ments. The miners by a meager ma
5ority decided TO allow the differential,
but when the matter was brought be-
fore the operators convention it was
ignored Thus II locks as though uni
formity In the Pittsburs district is re-
mote.
ON the rate question the miners
passed a resolution which means a CON-
plicated fight. In spite Of the fact that
the courts have ruled that the new min
Ing law Is unconstitutional the resolu-
ton demands a rate OF 40 cents a ton
for coal as II comes from the mine with
out being screened. The operators de-
cided to ignore the new mining law en-
tirely. Both conventions favored an at
tempt TO bring about an interstate con-
vention o. operators and miners to be
held at Columbus. o., some time mex,
month. for the purpose Of fixing the
mining rate for the several states. With
the complications above mentioned the
prospects for decisive action at today's
meeting are anything but bright.

OUR EXPORTS TO- SPAIN.
There Has Been Il Falling Of During
the Past Year.

There Has Been u Failing; Of During
the Past Year.
Consul General Bowen, in report to the
State Department on. the commercial con-
ditions in Spain, says it appears that while
Spain's trade has not vet been affected by
her military operations in. Cuba and the
Philippine Islands, still there would be a
very apparent decrease in the total expor-
tatons if the amount of supplies of all
kinds sent out to the Spanish troops could
be ascertained. Until the Cuban war is
ended, he says, all statistics of SPANS
trade must be accepted as somewhat mis-
leading. The consul is Informed that there
Is considerably less demand for foreign
goods in Spain than year ago. and that
the trade outlook is not bright. United
states exports to Spain consist chiefly of
cotton, petroleum and slaves, and in nor
nal times amount to about $1S,0GOO0O, but
during the present year will amount TO
about $l4.U0O,OOO. The Spaniards care little
for our agricultural implements and ma
chinery. Our wheat they consider too fine
and what Of it they buy they mix with
coarser Russian grades. They consider our
bicycles the best in the world, but as they
are more expensive than English French
and German makes, few are imported.
bicycling is not very popular in SPAIN as
Spanish women do not regard wheeling in
keeping with propriety.
spain, the consul says, has a high pro-
tectiye tarin, and 1t operates adversely to
the United States, as we have no treaty
with her according lower rates. Another
serious question is that of exchange Gold
Is at premium of over 30 per cent There
IS practically no gold circulation in Spain.
exchange being so high. the prices Of food
ana OF living are, of course, affected, and
the general tendency now is to advance
the prices of all commodities.

The national attorney of the Choctaw

garded as 4 signal victory for the Tuska-

tested cases. will be considered, but the
complexion of the council is not likely to
be changed. 1t will continue to stand with
small majority in favor of McCurtain's
