phia and Reading Coal and Iron COM
pany to-day telegraphed it's agents at
Chicago Milwaukee and Lake Superior
points to advance prices on coal twenty
five cents per ton on September 1 and
to issue circulars to that effect. This
advance in prices also includes Buffalo,
Canada and New York state points.
Orders have also been issued that no
coal shall be invoiced at tide after
September at less than the July circu-

there was certain to be a much better
maintenance of existing schedule prices.

we are abundantly satisfied that the
people of Porto Rico are not ready to
exercise the elective franchise. Not
over ten per cent. of the inhabitants
read and write and own property. No
one advocates making suffrage univer-
sal to the ignorance and improvident as
well as to the intelligent. To give con-
troll to ten per cent. over the other nine
ty is not establishing a government by
the consent of the governed and is not
according to our system. After these
laws have been in force for few years
and the schools have afforded oppor-
tunities for the people to learn they
will be better fitted than now to enter
upon the work of territorial or state
government. This applies to municipal
governments as well as to the whole
island. There is no place to draw the
line, in our opinion, at present; all Off
GERS should be appointed and a firm
hold kept on the government of each
city and municipality by the general
government of the island'
The commission lays stress on the
need of currency reform in the island
and says: Not all the complications
growing out of the currency in Porto
Rico can be remedied until congress
shall place a sufficient fund in the
hands of the president in the shape of
silver certificates or treasury notes, all
legal tender for their face value, to
enable him to take up all the Porto
Rican silver and authorize him to have
it recoined into American dollars of Ger
tificates to replace those used in the
MI \ 1T, u
Rican silver, the difference between the
bullion value and the six cents paid for
them to be charged against the island,
and when practicable, to be covered
into the United States treasury. This
needs authorization by congress and
such authority ought to be asked for"

CHARTER OAK RACES.
Two-NIinute Race Won by Joe Patchcn
--Searchlight Was Unsteady.

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 3O.-The big
event of the circuit meeting at Charter
Oak park to-day was the first two min
ute pace ever scheduled. There were
five starters, John r. Gentry drawing
out after contest in which there was a
dispute between the park management
and the owner of the horse The
trouble arose over a misunderstanding
as to whether the event was two in
three or a three in five. 1t was a three
in five and Gentry drew his horse, the
management protesting and leaving the
matter in the hands of the judges, who
will decide after taking evidence The
starters We're Joe Patchen, Anaconda,
Chehals Frank Bogash and Search
light. Searchlight was very unsteady,
breaking badly and was never in any
hopes of winning heat. Anaconda,
the favorite, 100 to 65 for Patchen, so
for Searchlight, led until the stretch in
the first heat, when Joe Patchen came
in and under the whip and hard push
took the mile in 2:O4%. The second heat
was Patchens all the way and the final
which took the race, 2:03A,e qualed the
track record made in 1897 by Star Point
er in an exhibition race with Gentry.
There was the greatest enthusiasm.
After the first heat Joe Patchen sold
to 1 with Bogash 4 to that he would
get inside of the money. The unfinish-
ished race of Tuesday, the 2:13 trot was
won by Peter the Great, Malcolm
Forbes four-year-old, the race being his
third appearance in company. His fast
est mile, 2:0S%, has only been equalled
twice by four year-old stations Cap
tain Jack won the 2:1O trot after a
struggle, Creceus being the favorite, so
to 10. The 2:17 trot was unfinished, Dol
lade Wilkes and Letah S. each taking a
heat, the latter the favorite. Sum

validity Of the South Dakota state law

Contest In the Big Sixth.

LINCOLN, Nov. Juan Boyle, late
chairman of the congressional commit
tee of the Sixth Nebraska district, is
paving the way for a contest in the
event Of election of William Neville,
the Populist nominee for congress in
the district to fill vacancy. Recently
Secretary of State Porter instructed
county clerkss to prepare ballots max
ing Judge Neville the nominee Of both
Populists and Democrats. Boyle re-
sisted, claiming Neville had not been
nominated by the Democrats and Mon
day secured an order in court restrain
ing the secretary from SO instructing.
Copies of the court order were today
sent to every county clerk in the dis
trict. No penalty attaches to the clerks
whatever action they take, but if they
ignore the order and Judge Neville is
elected Boyle says he will urge con.
test in the lower house at Washington.

DO Not Like the Idea Of Transferring
Power to the War Department.
PoRT TOWNSEND, Wash, Nov. L.
According to ndvices brought from
Honolulu by the steamship Elihu
Thompson, residents Of tho Hawaiian
islands are in great state Of excite
ment over the receipt Of letter from
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Frank Vanderlip, stating that the GUS
toms department Of the Hawaiian is
lands was under the control of the war
department. The letter was in reply to
an application for position in the Gus.
toms service by a resident Of Honolulu.
1t is asserted that this is the first in
dication the authorities Of the islands
have received that the customs depart
ment has been transferred to the mill
tary, and when shown the letter Har-
old NJ. Sewall, special agent of the
United States government, and the
other government representatives, ex-
pressed belief that the secretary had
gotten the Hawaiian islands confused
with Porto Rico, Cuba and other con-
quered territory.
Major Mills, in command Of two bat
talions Of the Sixth artillery, stationed
at Honolulu, disclaims any knowledge
of the new regime. In relation to tho
above a rumor is in circulation in Homo
lulu that the present officers of the local
government were to be removed by
President Mckinley and new appoint
ments made Immediately, but both
President Dole and Special Agent Sewall
deny having any knowledge of con.
templated change.

oners. 1t is supposed the stampeding
mules carried away the reserves of am
munition and that the troops capitu.
lated after firing the rounds each man
carried. In the absence Of news, the
morning papers are reduced to specula-
ton as to how the disaster occurred.
The general opinion is that a misuse Of
the cavalry was the real reason of the fall
into the trap. Apparently there was no
cavalry to watch over the safety of the
missing column.
The Morning Post pointing out how
near the British were to "still greater
disaster" says: "In capturing the COL
umn the Beers also had the Devonshire
regiment practically at their mercy and
a little more daring would have made q
bad business much worse, and seeing
that force strong enough to scoop up
couple of infantry battalions could
have put itself practically between Gen
eral White and his camp we may be
very thankful that things today are
not more serious than they are. The
lesson has been severe. 1t is humiliat.

soldiers at their own game, but the
sooner proper respect is had for Boer
strategy and tactics the better for our
fortunes in Natal"
This SOLDERING note is struck by all the
morning papers today, together with
expressions of q determination to carry
the matter through at whatever cost.
The Daily Chronicle, referring editor
tally to the situation, says:
''In view of the patent failure of the
campaign and the terrible humiliation
of the British army we can only vaguely
hope that Sir George White in the hard
days that lay before him may be able to
hold Ladysmith. Retreat would be an
undertaking which the imagination
fails to grasp. If this war is to be a
war of vengeance we shall have to wipe
out a disaster before which the memory
of Majuba fades away. The empire is
face to face with repulse comparable
only to the surrender of BurgOyne to
the embattled farmers of our American
cOlOnieS'

Decides Against Labor Unions.

P1TTsBURG, Nov. l.-An important do.
cision was handed down by Judge
White of the county courts against
labor unions. The case was one which
caused great deal Of comment in labor
circles all over the country. 9. L. Flac-
Gus, glass manufacturer, brought suit
against the Glass Workers union to
prevent them from inducing the appren-
tices Of the plaintiff to join the union.
The decision holds that the plaintiff has
right to operate his factory independ-
ent Of the union and that the defend
ants have no right to persuade his ap-
prentices to become members Of their
organization.

after which the negro left. Soon shot
was fired from across the street, the
bullet striking McArdle sQuarcly in the
forehead. He died in half an hour. A
few minutes later Wells came up in the
crowd that collected and inquired the
cause of the commotion. \ spectator
to the previous quarrel pointed Wells
out to an officer. who arrested him on
suspicion and lodged him in Jail. An
other spectator shortly afterward iden-
titled him as the negro who had quar-

quickly spread that he was identified rs

and marched to the Jail. Securing Wells
without much trouble, they dragged

Worst Defeat for a Hundred Years.

LONDON, Nov. IAN ominous our
tain has again descended on affairs in
Natal. No dispatch except the official
kilograms of Sir George Stewart White
has thus far been permitted to mention
the disaster and no telegram from Lady
smith has peen received in London since
the adyices OF the British commander.
This gives rise to the belief that com.
munication has been cut, in which event
some time must elapse before details re.
garding British losses are received,
II the war Office officials have received
information on this point they have re-
Trained from publishing it. General
Whites estimate that the British losses
were about 81 is evidently quite separate
from the probable losses ia killed and
wounded among the captured battalions.
On this point there is the greatest sus-
Psnse among the relatives OF the pris.
