Senator Ross Latest Speech.

Judge Ross made a strong speech
in the Senate Tuesday, May IA, in
behalf of good government for the
outlying dependencies. The speech
was made on a bill which he himself
introduced which provides that ap-
pointments to civil offices in Alaska,
Hawaii, and all places brought with
in the jurisdiction of the United
States by the recent treaty with
Spain be made irrespective of the
political opinions of the appointees,
and in such manner as to represent
the entire country, and that in case
of removals, charges shall be made
in writing and the accused be given
an opportunity to answer.

Secretary Atherton, of the board of
trade, Is going to make an earnest eff
fort to yank still another industry
from Binghamton. The inhabitants of
the "Parlor City" are very much put
out because this city secured tho
Clarke cut glass factory, the pro-
prietors of which haG a loving eye
fixed on Binghamton.
The papers in that city are urging
their board of trade to get hustle on
itself. and with this end in view have
discovered that n cigar factory from
Syracuse wants to locate in Bingham
ton and are endeavoring to arouse pub
lie interest in the scheme.
Secretary Atherton noticed copy of
one of the Binghamton papers yester-
day mentioning this fact and he i'm
mediately dictated a long letter to the
officials of the company, telling them
of the wonderful advantages of Scran-
ton as a manufacturing centre, and
urging that they come here and look
over the ground.
The secretary also received a letter
yesterday from gentleman namel
Reid, residing in Cleveland, who an
nounced that he knew of a large num-
Der of small industries in large west
orn cities, the proprietors of which, on
account Of labor difficulties, are deslr-
Gus of locating in smaller cities.
Secretary Atherton has written for
further and more exhaustive particu-
lars.

The Hard Coal Market.

The July letter of the Anthracite
Coal Operators association says Of the
market: There was little change In
anthracite market conditions during
the past month. Shipments to the
west have prevented a large surplus
from accumulating at tide points, and
at the latter there was a slightly more
active movement than during the pre-
ceding month. The New England
market also showed a tendency to in
crease its purchases. Prices were fair
ly firm, though there was a disposition
at times to make concessions to secure
prompt business.
July has opened with fair outlook
as to the tonnage going forward, but
with a persistent demand by buyers
for contracts for future delivery at
present prices. The larger companies
are apparently making a strong effort
to prevent such concessions, antici-
pating a higher fall circular but If
the smaller companies enter into many
such contracts, prices cannot but be
affected by them. For current sales,
however, prices are firm.

Time Expires August l.

The time limit which the Interstate
Commerce commission, together with
congress, has placed upon railroad
companies for the equipment of cars
with the regulation coupler expires the
first of next month. At present the
railroads doing an interstate business
are putting forth every effort to COM
ply with the interstate regulation and
it is thought that when the law goes
into force every railroad will be prop
erly equipped.
Regarding the export trade of the
American style of car couplers, 1t was
said that so far the attempt to intro
duce them In Europe has not resulted
in success. In Mexico, however, the
general tendency of the times is TO
adopt American methods in railroadins
and a fairly large market has been
found there. Russia is also adopting
American couplers on its ans-Siber-
ian railroad.

cheat has been issued. The COM

that he purchased two parcels OF
land at Waikiki from the said Mad

sum OF 5000 and that he according
to the terms OF the agreement paid
to W. E. Fisher, acting for Madden,
from time to tima as stipulated
sums aggrega'ins the amount OF
1926. To his surprise he saw in the
public records that the lands which
he believed to be his property had
been sold by the said Madden to
another psrty aud q deed duly ex-
ecuted. The money paid by him has
never been refunded, in fact he has
made two payments since the deed
was OK x,cuted TO the other party. In
