From the Roanoke Leader.

The increase of $S5O,OOO in the appropria-
ton to the public schools in a abama,
making the total school fund 81 900 go, was
provided for before the legislature adj
journed by an increase in the tax rate of
fifteen mills. or from two-thirds 10 three
fourths of one per cent. on the ASSESSED
value of property. This means q tax of
seventy-five cents on the one hundred de-
lars, which is tie constitutional limit. This
may prove to be hardship on some fur a
while, but we believe the result vii JUSTIFY
the means. The burden will fall prop II
tonately heavier ON the wealth of tie

Operators Agree Not to Sell Coal In
Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas.
st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 27.-There will
be no general strike of coal miners in
the Illinois fields. This result was
reached at a conference held here Fri
day between the national and state Or
CARNATIONS of the Union Mine Work
ers of North America and the mine op-
orators Of Illinois who have been sell
ing coal in the Missouri, Kansas and
Arkansas districts where union miners
are on strike.
John J. Mitchell of Indianapolis, ma
tional president of the United Mine
Workers Of North America, conducted
the negotiations for the miners, while
nearly all of the prominent mine oper-
ators in Illinois were on hand to look
after their side of the controversy.
President Mitchell warned the oper-
ators that unless they stopped shipping
coal to the southwest, where union
miners are on strike, it would be nee
essary to call out every union miner in
Illinois and tie up the mines.
Our object" he said, lis to tie up
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Missou-
ri, Kansas and Eastern, st. Louis &
Iron Mountain, Santa Fee, Missouri Pa
cific, and st. Louis 6 San Francisco
railroads, which own or control the
coal companies involved in the present
strike. If we can stop them from buy
ing Illinois coal thew will he forced TO
accede to our demands and adopt the
union scale of wages"
Several efforts were made to effect
a compromise by allowing the opera
tors to fill their present contracts in
the affected territory, but the miners
refused to agree to anything less than
their original demands. The operators
finally agreed to sell no more coal for
shipment in the affected territory.

dIcted, but Escapes,
New York, Nov. 27.-The '.Franklyn
syndicate" has been put out OF bust
ness, and William F. Miller, the puta-
tive silent partner and manager of the
syndicate" is reported to have been
indicted by the grand jury of Kings
county on charge of conspiracy. He
could not be found by the police.
The Franklin syndicate" was one
of the most barefaced swindles ever
nnearthed in this city. Miller adver-
tised profits of 10 per cent a week on
investments, and thousands Of gull,ble
people poured money into his aetice in
streams. Even when the newspapers
exposed the scheme many people would
not be convinced, and gave up their
money. The Bankers association final
ly took up the case, and decided that
its members would no longer receive
Miller's deposits.
A person in a position to know says
the receipts of the Miller concern have
beeen $4,000 a day since Oct. l. II
this be true, Miller has been receiving
for two months at least $4,000 week.
This would make his receipts for near
ly two months S1,440,00O. OF course,
his business increased rapidly from the
LIST Of October on. If he averaged any
where near that amount each week
during the past year he would have
taken in between s9,O00,OOO and $1O.-
100000 Those who think they should
know say that at the lowest calcula-
ton he has taken in at least $5,Oo0,00t
during the last year.

Ten. otis says InsursenC GOVernineht

Washington, Nov. 26.-Gen. Otis
summarizes the situation in Luzon in
a dispatch to the war department to-
day, in which he says the insurgent
government can no longer claim to
exist, its troops and officials are scat
tered and Aguinaldo in hiding. The
dispatch follows:
Manila, Nov. 24.-Claim to govern
ment by insurgents can be made no
longer under any fiction; it's treasurer,
secretary of interior and president OF
congress are in our hands; its presi-
dent and remaining cabinet officers are
in hiding, evidently in different central
Luzon provinces; it's generals and
troops in small bands are scattered
through these provinces, acting as ban
ditti, or dispersed, playing the role Of
amigos with arms concealed.
Indications are that Aguinaldo did
not escape through the lines of Lawton
o. Wheaton, but fled westward from
Bayambong railway station. Tele-
graphic communication was established
probably to San Fabian today; by re-
laying nine miles of track with ma
terial at hand railway communication
to that point was re-established; labor

success was immediate and striking.
The remarkable career of business and
political success which followed
showed a combination of natural abil-
ity. energy and popularity which has
rarely been equaled.
July 21, 1869, Hobart married Jennie
futile, only daughter of his first
patron and law partner. His home
life always held a leading part in his
affections, Notwithstanding his many
business and political cares, and was
a model of conjugal felicity. His wife
and two children, Fannie B. and Gar
hst A., Jr., survive him.
In 1871 Hobart was elected a men,
her of the city council of Paterson, his
first public office. In November, 1872,
he was elected Republican member Of
the state legislature by the largest
majority that the district had ever
given. The next year he was re-elect-
ed and chosen speaker Of the house.
IN accordance with Tile traditions Of the
party in his state he refused to be a
candidate for a third term, though
strongly urged by his constituents.
Though raised a Democrat, Hobart
always thoroughly Endorsed the prin-
cipies of the Republican party, and
soon became power in the politics of
the state. In 1876 he was elected to
the state senate by a plurality double
that of Hayes for president, and in
1879 was reelected. He became presi-
dent Of that body in 1881. The stat
utes Of New Jersey will show Hobart's
influence upon them, especially in mat
ters of reform, in which he always took
a leading part.
From 1889 to 1891 he was chairman
