SPANISH WAR VETERANS.
Little known of the New Organiza
TONS Personnel.

Little known of the New Organiza-
toms Personnel.
Announcement was made Saturday that a
split had occurred in the Spanish War Vet
Grams Association, of which Gen. j. War
ren Keifer, of Ohio, is commander -chier,
and that new order known as 1.-The Span
ish-American War Veterans" had been or
ganized. Since that statement was printed
much doubt has arisen among local veterans
as TO the foundation on which the latter
organization is based OF the officers Sc
lected by the members of the new organiza-
tion but two have made acknowledgment,
Col. James b. Coryell, the cemmissary
general, and Col. E. H. Hine, one of the
new department commanders. Colonel
Roosevelt, selected to be commander-in-
chief; Admiral Dewey, and the others
chosen have failed to take any formal notice
of their election.
An officer of the Spanish American Vet
Grams was seen last night by 4 Times re-
porter and asked TO state what progress
had been made in organizing the association
and increasing its membership. His reply
was that Colonel Coryell and Colonel Hine
had accepted their offices, and that he had
reason to think others would do likewise.
He refused to give the names Of any men,
bers of tee elder order who had withdrawn
with him, but offered instead the following
list of officers in the Spanish War Vet
Grams Association, who he claimed had
resigned Col w J. Bryan. Lieut.. H. B.
Blunt. Col Curtis Guild, jr.; Col. Robert b.

duce here to supply the home market.
l do not say that there is any prospect
of a famine of newspaper in this cOun-
try, but the situation here is serious,
though not alarming. The drOuth which
has existed for a number of months in
all parts of the country is partly re-
sponsible for this, but another most
serious difficulty is the coal supply.
Transportation rates, both by rail
and water, have gone up so greatly
within the last year that contractors
VIII ohave agreed to furnish coal to pa
per mills find themselves in an un-
pleasant and unexpected position. They
contracted to deliver Goa lat certain
figures. They must now either pay the
increase in transportation rates or
break their contracts. Coal is as much
o ia necessity to paper mills as is wood
pulp. The price of coal itself has gone
up, too. I bought 10 900 tons of coal in
Boston last week, and was obliged to
pay 500 900 more for it than was asked
one year ago.
'It is quite likely that the price Of
paper of all kinds will increase in the
near future"
Augustus K. Paine, president of the
New York and Pennsylvania Paper
company, SAID:
Il can readily believe that a serious
shortage Of paper for newspaper use
exists in England as a result of the in
creased demand brought about by the
war in South Africa This is largely
due to the fact that American paper
manufacturers nave stopped SnlpplnS
paper to England.
THE drouth, which has continued in
the United States for SO many months,
and the general increase in prices of all
commodities as we'll as transportation
rates. has affected the supply of paper"
George W. Miller of George W. Miller
& Company, who are among the largest
wholesale paper dealers in the city,
said:
1T is probable that England will
find much difficulty in obtaining suf-
ficient supplies of newspaper. The
drouth in Europe has affected paper
manufacturers there as it has in the
United States. All shipments of paper
abroad have practically cea sed, for the
reason that the home trade must be
taken care of before consumers in for
eign countries can be supplied.
The price of paper of all kinds is
bound to go on, but 1 do not look for
a paper famine in the United States

PLACES FOR WOMEN.
They Will Be Emp, Dyed In the Gov
ernment Census Bureau.

Women will be employed both as
enumeratOrs and as clerks in the com
pilatiOn Of the census of 1900, and the
bureau expects that numbers of them
Will apply for these positions.
Women were first employed in this
labor in 1880. In 1890 women again found
occupation as clerks and as census
takers, though then, as now, the fact
that women were eligible to these posi-
tiOns was not widely known.
There are many reasons why this en-
ployment for women is most suitable
In the first place, as the work only
lasts for a few weeks or months and
then ceases absolutely. it has always
been found difficult tor find the best men
for a labor which offers no permanency
of support. while there are many wo-
men so situated that they are glad to
have the opportunity to earn a good
sum of money in some occupation
which Will not take the whole of their
time. The service is not severe. espe-
cially in the large cities, where the
dwellings are crowded together and a
person can work all day in collecting
the names of inhabitants of a few
blocks Another point which deserves
cOnsidera tiOn is that the census enum-
orator as a rule sees only women in the
homes which must be visited as the
calls are made during the hours when
men are away on business.
The number of persons who Will be

MOUNTAIN OF GOLD.
Prospectors Think They Have Found
It Near Cairo, Ill

Chicago, Dec. 4.-What is declared to be
a mountain Of gold has been discovered
in southern Illinois near Cairo and sever
al Chicago men are developing the i'm
mense claim. Though it is nearly year
since the discovery was made, its eXis-
tence has leaked out through the Organi-
cation of a company which has acquired
control of the property, with an option
upon other tracts in the vicinity.
For months those interested have been
hawking little bags of quartz sand among
the assayers in Chicago, getting tests and
analyses The samples were represented
sometimes as coming from Colorado and
again as from California, or from the
Klondike. The assays in every case show-
stance gave as high as 1854 to the ton.
Three of Professor Gibson's tests show
ed a yield of S254 to the ton. The test
which gave the maximum yield of S5s5
was made by George W. Ellis. 1t is said
that the property is in Union county, and
it is hinted that the spot is Union Hill

PAPER TO GO HIGHER.
President of the Trust Blames Drouth
and Railroads

New York. Dec. 4-Hugh ChishOlme,
president of the International Paper
company, last night said:
"Theer is no doubt that a shortage in
the paper supply exists in England,and
a serious shortage, too. but I doubt if
there is a famine in paper, such as is
used by newspapers. Not more than
about 500 tons of paper is used daily in
all England for newspapers. New York
alone uses as much as that each day,
But when theer is an unusual demand
for paper of that kind in England, and
100 or $50 tons more a day are called
for, the increased demand is severely
felt. With continued drOuths in Nor
way and Sweden, a lessened supply
from Germany. there can no doubt
that newspapers in England will find
themselves in a serious predicament re-
garding their paper supply
This is rendered all the more alarm
ing because we can send them no paper
from the United States. Charity begins
at home, and we need all we can pro-
