and erysipelas. Mr.. Blanchard over
taxed himself during the summer. He
was engaged for many days in an ar
gument against the bill introduced in
congress providing for reduction Of
the compensation to railways for trans
portation of mails. The funeral cr-
rangements have not yet been made.
Mr.. Blanchard was 80 years old. He
was a railway man all his life. He be-
gan as clerk in 1858 in the employ
of the Cincinnati and Chicago road.
He was subsequently connected with
the Ohio and Mississippi, the Central
Ohio, the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Erie roads, becoming vice president of
the Erie in 1884. He became a COM
missioner Of the Central Traffic assO-
citation and then chairman in 1896, and
was given charge of the Joint Traffic
association until it was dissolved. He
was regarded as one of the highest
authorities on railway rates in the
country.
During the Spanish war Mr.. Blanch-
ard gave the government the benefit of
his knowledge of transportation, but
he declined brigadder generalship
rendered him by the president. He
was called on by railroads all over the
country for expert advice and to act
as arbiter in cases of difference. In adj
dition to his extensive knowledge of
railroad affairs, he was fOrceful and
entertaining writer even on the most
technical subjects, and in leisure mo-
ments he occasionally wrote verse for
recreation

PANTHER CREEK MINERS.

II They Quit, rs Expected, the Tie-Up
VIII BE Complete.
Pottsville Pa, Oct. S.-Interest in
the great anthracite strike throughout
the lower coal belt revolves entirely
around the proposed convention OF
miners to be held by President Mitch
of going back will be left entirely to
the delegates elected to the miners
convention, but it is admitted that this
gathering, like the local mine workers
unions in the present strike, will act
absolutely according to his advice and
that of his subOrdinates.
Beginning with Monday, for the first
time since the opening of the strike,
not a pound of coal will be mined In
the entire lower anthracite belt, ex-
cept in the Panther Creek valley,
where the employees of ten collieries
belonging to the Lehigh Coal and Nav
igation company, have resisted the eff
forts of the labor leaders to bring them
out. Missionary work has been be-
gun there in earnest, and John Fahey,
president of this district, declared:
.srhere is not the slightest doubt
about the men of uhe Panther Greek
valley going out. OF that l ann GER
tain"
When these miners strike fully 140,-
600 men will have laid down their min
ing tools and the tie-up will be practi-
cally complete. The Panther Greek
valley mines turn out 175,000 tons
month, and there may be great trouble
there in few days. This valley be-
gins in Schuylkill county, near Ia
maqua and extends into Carbon
county.
There are still reports that the strike
was started for political purposes, and
President Mitchell, discussing these re-
ports, said: ''The coal companies have
shot shafts at me, alleging that the
strike was in the interest of political
parties and the bituminous regions.
hope that no one will believe such
charges. You will go on digging coal,
it don't matter what political party
controls the government. The charge
IS absolutely untrue"

PREFERENTIAL TARIFFS,
Effect on the Trade Between Canada, Eng
land and the United States.

Effect on the Trade Between Canada, Eng
land and the United States.
Washinton, Oct. Omitted States
Consul Brush, at Niagara Falls, Ont,
has made report to the state depart
ment upon the effects of the Canadian
preferential tariff. In 1896 tariff Of
% per cent. in favor of English-as
against American-products was i'm
posed in Canada, and recently this was
increased to 33 1-3 per cent. The con-
sui says the effect of the increase upon
the United States will not be very
noticeable, because Canada imports
from the United States in 100 lines and
from England only in four.
Under the % per cent. preferential,
by reason of increased activity, the
United States exports actually in
creased SCI, 100000, to $101 100000 in
1899, or nearly three times the total
British exports to Canada. The Brit
ish are reaping substantial benefit,
and are favOring Canada i'm return
wherever possible, so that Canadian
exports to Great Britain have increased
so per cent. Now Canada wants free
trade in food supplies with England,
which would be a serious blow to the
United States, but the consul thinks
this danger is remote.

UNEAsINEss AT HAzLEToN.
Expected Demonstration by the Striker.
Did Not Occur.

Dlo ENot OcCuTs
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. SIN anticipa-
ton of marching by the strikers every
one of the dozen or more collieries in
this district still in operation in a
more or less crippled condition was vir-
tually an armed camp during the night,
but the expected did not happen and
the peace of the community remains
undisturbed 1t was the uneasiest
morning that Hazleton has expert
enced since the strike began, three
weeks ago. In addition to the cOncen-
tration of sheriff's deputies in this city
every colliery in the region had extra
forces Of coal and iron police fully
armed. There was no marching of
large bodies of men, but crowds Of
strikers gathered as is their custom ev-
cry weekday morning in the vicinity
of the various collieries that remain in
operation.
The greatest crowd, which numbered
probably 300 men, assembled in the
neighborhood Of Cranberry colliery of
A. Pardee & Co. on the outskirts of
this city. Quite a number of the
workmen on their way to this mine
were turned back, some through fear
and others through persuasion. The
company officials said the colliery is
working as usual. Another crowd
gathered in the vicinity of No. 3 slope
and No. 40 shaft of the Lehigh Valley
Coal company in Hazleton, but no dis
turbance occurred. The inclement
weather probably had much to do with
the pacific condition of affairs. 1t
rained hard during the night and a
heavy mist hangs over the entire re-
gion.

PLOT TO SECURE $4,OOO,OOO.
Few York Police Say Rice Case Is IA Gil

New York, Oct. 6.-"There was a
conspiracy to secure $4,000,0OO by
murder and forgery" said a police
captain, referring to the recent death
of William Marsh Rice and the devel-
Opments due to detectives work. I'VE
may never be able to prove the MUIR
der charge" he added, because the
body was embalmed so quickly with
fluid containing arsenic and other pois-
ons."
Lawyer Albert +. Patrick and
Charles +. Jones, the latter secretary
and valet to the late millionaire, re-
manned in the TOmbs unable to give
$4,000 bonds. The charge against
them is the forging of Mr.. Rice's name
to checks valued at $250,000. Hand
writing experts are the only witnesses
against them so far. The police have
located Mrs. Maria Scott, who for
eight years was caretaker and laun-
dress for Mr.. Rice. They hoped to
prove something tangible by her, but
all she could tell them was that Mr..
Rice seemed very worried several days
prior to his death.

son Andrew. Then, apparently failing
in an attempt to poison with carbolic
acid her daughter Ethel, II, and her
baby, Mabel, years old, she shot
them, inflicting probably fatal injuries,
and in the belief that the tragedy was
three-fourth done she ended her own
life with bullet through the heart.
Her husband, who occupies re-

firm of Austin, Nichols & Co., was so
crushed by the news that he was not
permitted to look on the faces of the
dead for fear he would kill himself.
