MIR. LOwRY'S REMARKS.
MIR. Lowry dealt mainly with the
question raised by the Democrats as
to their being no connection between
the election in this state and the ma
tional issues. In this relation he trite-
ly inquired what would the papers
of Europe say if, at this time, the
stronghold OF the Presidents party
should go against him?" AS an exem-
plihcatton OF wise and economic gov
ernment he contrasted the recent pop
ular war loan under a Republican ad-
ministration with the loan of s263, ,O00..
900 made by the Democrats In time Of
peace at an enormous expense.
Mr. Schoch made only a few remarks
but hiE every sentence was fairly
punctuated with applause. The SOL
dlers at Santiago, he said, were dis
posed TO believe that 1t was "Alger-
ism" as the yellow journals put It, that
was responsible for their i'll treatment.
but when they came home and learned
that Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, and his COL
leagues had defeated the reorganiza-
ton bill and hospital BILL they changed
their minds. They realized that the
Democratic party is the same old par
ty that existed in the other war times,
opposed to the administration no mat
ter how bereflcent a measure their
opposition may defeat.
In alluding to Mr.. Jenks' statement
that the war Is over Mr.. Schoch asked
why it was regiment that had been
mustered out was only a few days ago
was recalled and why it was that ne
could not secure his discharge.
He closed with an appeal to his hear
ers to support the president. GIVE
him your moral support and we'll do
the rest" he concluded.

Duryea. The colliery had previously
been a large and we'll equipped one.
1t is now nearly double in size and ca

latest conceptions in coal-preparing
machinery has been introduced. The
principal new features are, the erec-
tion of an annex to the breaker, an en-
tire change In the method of transfer
ring the coal from the mine openings
to the breaker the opening of three
new tunnels, and the erection of a new
boiler. The annex to the breaker is
perhaps the most extensive of the i'm
proVements. The annex is designed to
be operated either in connection with
the old breaker or separately. Under
ordinary conditions, all of the material
that passes trough the first set of bars

pared for market in the annex as also
Is the culm from the old breaker, which
formerly went to the dump and the
screenings from the loading chutes.
The material from these three sources
is hoisted to the top of the annex by
means of three separate elevator lines,
and, with the exception of egg and
CRATE sizes, first passes through the
shakers. There are two rows of these
modern machines, four in each row.
They are of the double-bank pattern,
this having greater capacity and occu-
pying less space than the ordinary
shaker. The shaker sizes and washes
the coal, water being constantly
sprayed upon the coal as IT is shaken
on plates OF perforated iron, the wash

shaker and thence running off through
troughs to low ground near the culm
