Short Apple Crop.

The apple crop throughout the country ls
very short his year, and not more than so
per cent. of the usual crop will, 1t is said,
be produced. Nearly tho whole crop is in
the East and In Michigan. which has about
50 per cent. OF the crop. About 40per cent.
is in New York State and the remainder in
tho New England States.
There Is practically no crop In Delaware
and only few apples In Maryland. The
apples are of an inferior quality and the
rricss are poor, although the speculators
are looking forward % good prices as the
season advances. The fall varieties are
coming In.
Delaware Is attributed to the frost in tho
spring or the heavy rains coming about
the time the buds were on the trees. There
will be but few apples canned this year,
the canning being doue principally In New
York State.

Walker. Mimi. Oct. 15.-The III
dians, including the two delegates from
the hostile camp, have had their coun-
cll with Commissioner Jones. but 1t Is
hard to see where any positive progress
has been made. In one respect the au-
thorities probably gained an advantage
yesterday. The Indians tried to con-
solidate all the collateral questions
in one issue. The commissioner de-
cllned to allow it. He told the In
dians very plainly that If they would
get together and agree as to what
they really wanted he would endeavor
to settle their grievances as satisfac-
toriy as possible for the majority un-
der the law. But the men wanted by
the marshal must surrender without
any regard to the other questions.

GOVERNOR TANNERS ATTITUDE.
'Necessary to Enforce Law in Ad.

vance of Its Enactment.'
Springfield Ills, Oct. 15.-Governor
Tanner last night gave out a long in
terview regarding the situation at Vir-
den and his attitude on the importa-
tion of miners into the state. He said
In part
"My position has been from the be-
ginning, and ] am now more positive
in that position, emphatically against
the importation of labor into Illinois.
from :; state, because such a per-
nicloui ystem dumps upon society an
undesi able class of citizens and l do
not propose, if l can help it, that the
state of Illinois shall be used as the
dumping ground for the criminal and
idle classes of other countries or other
states.
"If one, two or three, or even larger
numbers, come to our state In the
proper order and in the ordinary way,
seeking honest employment, and the
mine owners see fit to employ them.
will give them all the protection neces-
sary to peacefully operate their mines.
1.-The ChicagU-Firden company has
been an Intentional outlaw; has sent
an agent to Alabama. and by false pre-
lenses induced negroes to come here,
loading them on trains like cattle, lock-
ing the doors of the cars feeding them
like stock and procuring the services
of armed guards from detective
agency and invading the state in an
illegal manner"
He SAYS If he had been apprised of
the coming of the train he should have
had n met at the state line with the
national guard and disarmed and made
prisoners of every man bearing arms.
The governor said that Captain Craig
had exceeded his authority in search
ing trains, and that he had instructed
Colonel YGun" not to interfere with
the operation of trains nor to invade
them. but only to prevent the unload
ing of imported laborers, which un-
loading would at once bring about
trouble. He concludes:
at is not my purpose to discriminate
against the negro. What am opposed
to is the pernicious system of import
ing labor. Perhaps in placing an en-
barge unon imported labor | am
little in advance of statutory enact
ment. However, sometimes in the in
terest of society it becomes necessary
to enforce law in advance of Its
statutory enactment"

served. This action, however, caused
Colonel Young to refuse to allow sew
eral guards who had been employed
by the coal company to depart for their
homes in Chicago. as he thought they
might be needed as witnesses. SIX eX-
guards from st. Louis, who came up
on the train carrying the blacks We'd

terson. of st. Louis, had charge of the
men and accompanied them to st. Louis

General Manager Lukens, of the Chi
cagO- -Virden Coal company yesterday
made the following statement in regard
to the wages paid by his company and
the demands of the strikers:
"tInder the old scale Of wages, prior
to the summer Of 1897, the pay at our
mines was 25 cents per ton mine run,
and fairly good miners could and did
earn s2.25 per day of ten hours, free of
all expenses. The payrolls show an
average Of $2.29 per day net for every
miner in the mine, with a range of $1.1O
to $4.56 per day The price of powder
has been reduced so cents keg since
then. which makes a material increase
In the miners wages. At the price
miners are demanding. 40 cents per
ton. an average miner can make from
g to 81 per day and good workman
could have no difficulty in earning So
per day. We do not object to the men
making good wages: the more the bet
ter, All we desire is an opportunity
to get our coal dug at a price which
will allow us to enter the market and
sell our coal without loss to ourselves.
and this Is impossible at the rate of
pay demanded by the union worknen.

The officials Of the Alton railroad are

express their determination to find out

without being held to account. So
liCttor General Brown declares: "The
governor has absolutely no right to
prevent this road taking dts passengers
to where they are ticketed. 1t is an
unheard of thing, and nothing can be
found in the laws of the state justify
Ing the conduct of the governor. We
ean take passengers, whether colored
or white, from Alabama or from any
other state and land them in any part
of this state"

Military Maddencd by Criticism.

London, Oct 15.-The Paris CORE"
spondent of The Times says: 1T Is I'M
possible to obtain clear proofs of the
exposition of plot. ! believe that the
idea of some act of force haunts some
military minds. Maddened and stunned
by violent criticisms of the army, aris-
ing out of the Dreyfus affair, they are
especially irritated at the attitude OF
civilians in claiming to interfere in the
detention of Colonel Picquart, for which
the entire military authority is re-
sponsble. Looking to the excitement
of mems minds at the present time OF
conflict between the military and civil
authorities, It is only surprising that
such alarms are not more frequent
