Washington, Nov 1S.-The Anglo
American commission, now in session
here TO adjust differences between the
United States and Canada, yesterday
held a lengthy session upon the two
subjects which are regarded as OF
most Importance, namely the North
Atlantic fisheries and reciprocity. The
fisheries question was practically taken
up for the first time. and 1t was quite
definitely understood that the position
of the Canadian government was made
clear as favorable to granting enlarg-
cd rights to American fishermen in
Canadian waters OF the North Atlantic
II in return the Canadian fish is ad-
mitted free of duty to American mar
kets.

Berlin, Nov. 1S.-An official telegram
received here from Valetta, Island Of
Malta, says the emperor and empress
of Germany have sailed for Pola, at
the northern part of the Adriatic sea-
from which port they will travel over
land direct for home. 1t is explained
that the emperor decided upon this
course because the temperature of the
Mediterranean has become consider
ably cooler, and the danger to the
health of the empress by a sudden
change from a southern to a northern
climate is thus lessened.

Waiting For the Plums to Fall.

From the Miners Journal.
The possibilities Of the appointments to be
made by County Controller elect Muldoon
and District Attorney.elect Cumming are
keeping people in politics aud especially the
Democrats busy guessing. 1t has not been
denied that Mr.. MuldoOn will have Thomas
O'Connor, of Mahanoy City, and his cousin
James Fadden, Of Cass township, on his staff
as stated before in the Journal. As to Mr..
Cummings appointments there is more
latitude for speculation, RS at least score of
members of the bar want berth under him.
On the street yesterday it was passed around
that the next District Attorney had settled
ON A. w. Schalck for first deputy James j.
Moran, second deputy, and NJ J. Flemming,
third deputy. Others said that either Mr..
Kramer or Mr.. Striegel were IN line for APP
pOntments. Mr.. Cumming is saying moth
ing, except the matter of choosing deputies
is no easy task.

COALING STATIONS.
Several to BE Established at Con-
venfent Points Along the At
lantic Coast.

The war has brought forcibly to the
attention of the naval authorities the
lack of coaling stations on the Allan
tic and Pacific coasts, and likewise the
necessity for establishing such sta
lions at convenient points. Command
er Royal B. Bradford. the chief of the
bureau of equipment, who has charge
of the purchase and shipment of coal
supplies for the navy recommended
that coaling stations be established

tory Long acted promptly on the
recommendation by appointing

among naval officers. Civil Engineer

Important Lessons Tint Have Dse1
Taught by the Naval Ecsttes M
Manila and Santiago.

An examination of the wrecks OF
Cervera's squadron goes far TO con-
firm the views of Admiral Dewey con-
corning the deadly work of guns of
comparatively small caliber. IAN
eight-inch gun is large enough for any
cruiser" remarked the hero of Manila
after that memorable victory. land in
hot fight guns of even smaller cal
iber are equally effective" The view
thus expressed has also the indorse-
ment of Fighting Bob" Evans and
several other captains of SIMPSONS
fleet.
Investigation shows that none Of
Cervera's ships was struck by any
shell larger than eight inches. The
Vizcaya was whipped with one and
siX-pound shells, which completely
rddled her upper works. Many Of
the six-pound shells penetrated her
armor and exploded inside the ship.
causing great damage. The Cristo bal
Colon was perforated by one eight
inch shell and several shots of six
inch and five-inch caliber. But there
is no evidence that the big 12-inch and
13-inch guns Of the American ships
were effective in the least degree, says
the Chicago Times-Herald. In fact,
it appears tina, the Spaniards were
practically "smothered" by a rapid
fire of small caliber guns. while the
six-inch and eight-inch shells proved
large enough TO disable the best fight
ing ships in SPANS navy.
Beyond a doubt the more ponderous
guns of the American battleships
would prove effective against fortifica-
tions, although their work at San Juan
was not at all convincing; but the
most effective fighting guns are those
of the secondary batteries, and there
is good reason 20 believe that the war
ships of the future will replace their
13-inch guns with lighter ordnance Of
lesser caliber.

a quick glance around, saw nothing,
softly put back the door and started
down the steps.
After a moment Richard followed

burglar seemed closer than when he

up the stairs and across the kitchen.
In the hall beyond the man paused
and studied the doors, each in turn. He

repeated demonstration of his bodily
senses. When he judged the specter
quite gone and the coast clear he rose
and hastily dressed himself, rushing
down the stepladder and into the inn,
where he reused the whole inmates of
the house with his cries that some
Dreadful tragedy had been committed
on the premises, and that every effort
should be made to discover and arrest
the murderer.
So much for the ghost; and now for
the laying of ii. 1t turned out upon in
quiry that the gaunt and grotesque
figure which had haunted our poor
traveller was only poor, dumb lad, who
was accustomed to help the hostler kill
pigs. On this morning three Of these
animals had to meet the common doom
of their kind. The first visit of the lad
to our travellers room was to inform
his comrade, who he knew usually
slept there, that the hour was coming
for their deadly work, intimating the
manner of il by three passes of his
finger across his throat. Upon leaving
the room, and finding, after due inter
val, that the hostler-as he took our
traveller to be-had not risen for his
task, he returned the second time,
angry that his call had not been obeyed,
and took the slaughtering knife with
him as a token and sign Of what the
lazy hostler had TO get up and do. By
the time of his third visit to the room
he had himself done the work of death
without the aid of his fellow, and he
brought the blood-stained knife to sig
Nifty as much; and also in dumb show TO
say: "You may now lie in your bed
there for another hour or two, If you
like, but it has been too bad of you
to leave all this troublesome piece of
butchers work to me-"
We are sorry we cannot add that the
traveller was quite pleased either with
himself or with the explanation of his
fright, for he felt that he had cut rather
a sorry figure in the early morning, and
he could not help observing that those
whom he had aroused with his clamor
and terror were slipping back to their
rooms with much louder indications of
merriment than our hero could prob
ably appreciate. He took an early train
out of the town, not even troubling the
landlady TO make breakfast for him.

however, fully conclude that he had
really seen an apparition; yet he
would guard against third invasion Of
this uncanny guest. He would do what
he now remembered he had unfortunate
ly neglected-he would fasten the door
of his room and thus put stop tn any
further ingress.
To his disappointment, however,
when he came to secure his room door,
he found that il was destitute of all
fastenings. Feeling with his fingers in
the dim twilight, no lock. nor bolt, nor
bar could he discover. Here was des-
perate fix; and what plan for his safety
could he now resort to? Thinking rap

lily the bedstead was upon cas-

carrying out his scheme, and returned
once more TO bed, somewhat more GER

could not, however, settle himself for
further sleep; he had been too much

repose, so be resolved 10 lie awake in
his bed until broad daylight.

passed when our traveller for the third
time heard the same footsteps APP

for had he not rendered his apartment
completely impregnable? But short
lived was this feeling of confidence, for
in few minutes the steps had reached
his door, and he heard hands moving
over and pressing hard against it. Then
a violent push was made, and after that
another and another, till the bedstead
on its too facile casters, was driven
back into the middle of the floor.
Again his dread isitorapproached him,
and with tenfold added horrors, for his
hands and face were smeared with
blood, as was also the knife which on
his second coming he had carried.
Holding it as before in his right hand,
he drew the crimson-stained weapon
for the second time across his throat,
repeating the action once, twice and
thrice, then again shook ominously his
disheveled locks, and turning upon his
heel, with look of angry portent, left
the apartment.
Our traveller was almost sick with
terror; he shook in every limb, while
the cold perspiration oozed from every
pore of his body. He was an unbeliever
