Repairs Before Hobson Saw Them.
New York, Sept. 22.-Admiral Dewey
denies that he claimed any undue cred
1t for the victory at Manila bay. He
says he hardly thinks Lieut.. Hobson
meant anything unkind in his state
ment that the Spaniards sunk the ships
themselves.
The admiral says the three ships
referred to by Lieut.. Hobson, the Isla
de Cuba. Isla de Luzon and Don Juan
de Austria, were found to be least
injured Of all the ten ships that were
sunk. These. he said. were the ones
which Naval Constructor Capps decid-
ed, after an inspection by divers, were
worth saving.
They were raised and temporary re-
pairs made. They proceeded under
their own steam to Hongkong, the adj
miral said, where they remained for
some time undergoing repairs before
Lieut.. Hobson ever saw them.

received from Philadelphia that the 40

VIII Have Great Effect.
The effect of it upon the strike stu
alton will be far-reaching, and, accord
ing to operators who were seen last
night, 1t will tend to undermine the
strength of the whole strike movement.
Since 1896 the output of these mines
has been restricted because of an
agreement entered into by the opera
tors whereby the output OF anthracite
was divided after the manner of q rail-
road passenger pool traffic, according
TO the following percentages: Philadel-
phia and Reading, 20.50; Lehigh VAL
icy, 1855; Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 1885; Central Railroad OF
New Jersey, ITO; Pennsylvania, II. 40;
Delaware and Hudson, $50; and 1880
divided among other smaller produc-
ers.
Can Supply so Per Cent.
1t will be seen by these figures that
The Philadelphia and Reading obtained
by far the greatest proportion of the
output and, with the removal of the
restriction which was imposed by the
agreement in question, it was admitted
by dealers in this city the Reading
company could easily supply at least
90 per cent of the coal necessary for
the requirements Of this and other
eastern cities. 1t is said by those con-
versant with the existing situation that
the Reading company will not hesitate
to break the agreement. In point of
fact, the opinion is expressed that op-
orators whose mines are closed down
are willing that the arrangement for
the time being should be set aside and
are even parties to the policy of wage
Increase which has been decided
lpon.
Fuel Famine Avertea.
The motive which induces this atti-
.ude, according to report, is that the
operators who are mostly involved in
the strike are imbued with the idea
that the Readings output, supplement
ed as it will be by large quantities of
coal from other mines not yet shut
down, will serve to avert any really
marked coal famine, and that thereby
the knowledge will be impressed upon
the strikers that the anticipated scarce
tty of fuel and consequent public suf,
Eering will fail of realization.

the earnings of the miners are increas-
ed accordingly.

BUTTONHOLES AND BABIES.
a Pathetic Picture of Life Among the
TOilers in New York
Tenement.

The board of managers of the New
York Diet Kitchen association, which
supplies nourishing food to the sick
and poor, held its twenty-eighth an
nual meeting the other day. DR.. Annie
S. Daniel spoke of the poor food con-
sumed by the inmates of the poorer
tenements.
The average family in such tene-
ment of five people, she said, earns 81. IS
a week, lives in two rooms, and, in many
cases, takes boarders. In such cases
a pint of milk day must feed three
children. She said that Jewish wom-
an once told her that it was possible
to take boarders at three dollars a
month each, give them two meals a
day, and make money at it.
At the age of three years, DR.. Daniel
said, the children started in sewing
button holes at home, it being impossi-
BILE for them to obtain work in a fac
tory until the age of IA. In one case
that came under her notice, she says
she found a Jewish woman, with one
babe, i'll with pneumonia, in her lap.
With her foot she wasrockinga cradle,
holding another child, sick with mea-
sles, and with her hands was sewing
the everlasting buttonhole.
