1t would be an aggregation that
would make plenty of downs or
punts, and could make through any
kind of tackle that could be put up,
and would always find goal.
Touch-downs would be easy for
such as these, and as many of the
proposed players are good kickers
and bunters they would put up a
fast game. It's a speedy outfit
what's the matter with organizing
them?

CONTRACTS VOID.
Delivery of Coal Will Be Stopped
by the Railroad

New York, Sept. 15-President Oil
plant of the Delaware & Hudson COM
pany, declined today to make any re-
ply to the latest statements of Presi-
dent Mitchell of the miners union. In
this statement Mitchell charges Presi-
dent Oliphant with wilfully distorting
certain portions of a telegram sent by
him to the coal company last Wednes-
day. President O1iphant, producing the
Mitchell message, said: Here is the
telegram. In it you will see he says An
immediate reply is requested That

plenty of time to consider the arbitra-
ton proposition, does it,
The company which controls the coal
output has notified the brokers that in
case the strike goes into effect all con-
tracts must be considered void. 1t can
do this legally, owing to the fact that
the contracts always have a provision in
them that in case of a strike they shall
not be effective. The railroad companies
declare they need the supply for their
own use.
Shamolxin, Pa, Sept. 15.-The execu-
tive board Of the Ninth district, United
Mine Workers, today discussed the adj
visibility of calling out the engineers
of mine pumps next Monday. The mat
ter was left undecided for several days,
in the hope that the operators would
grant concessions. The board does not
want to order the engineers to strike,
thus endangering the mines by flooding,
except as a last resort.

employed a large part of his picturesque
vocabulary in fiery denunciation of
things both Republican and Democratic.

BARN BURNERS CAUGHT
They Are Two Colored Boys
Only 10 Years Old.

Five colored boys were taken to the
police station yesterday by Merchant
Police A. w. Hopkins, who thought that
they were the boys who have been set
ting fire to the barns.
Only two of the boys Robert Pinkston
and Leslie Allen, were held These boys
admitted that they were in J. s. Sproats
barn the day it was set on fire, but
neither would admit that he lighted the
match. The Allen boy said he watch
ed in the alley while the Pinkston boy
went to the barn.
The boys are about ten years old and
probably set the fires just to see the fun.
One of the boys is the son of Kirk
Pinkston, who is a member of the fire
department. He went to the station last
night and secured their release on the
promise to take care of them An effort
is being made today to secure settle
ment of the matter without prosecuting
the boys, but whether 1t will be sue
eessful or not depends upon the people
whose barns were burned
The police seem to think that they
have evidence strong enough to make
case and if that is done officer Hopkins,
who made the arrests, will be entitled
to the 500 reward which was offered by
fh0 council.

Shanghai, Sept. 15.-At a meeting of
the foreign ministers it has been decided
that they had no power at present to
treat with Prince Ching. The generals
of the powers also think they can not
treat with the prince. The Russian le-
cation, it is understood, has been or
dered to be withdrawn, and this is be-
neved to indicate that the future of
China must be decided by an interna-
tionai commission in some foreign cap
ital.
Sir Robert Hart, the director of the
Chinese imperial maritime customs, has
Informed the foreign generals that they
must be prepared for future hostilities;
that Chinese troops are collecting and
moving on line of communication be-
tween Pelxin and Tien Tsin, and that
he thought trouble might be looked for
by November.
General Chaffee believes he has suff1-
cient troops to hold out against any
attack.
Minister Conger has secured reliable
news to the effect that all the Ameri-
cans at Pao Ting Flu have been killed.
1t is believed there were eight mission
aries there.
Prince Ching informed Mr.. Conger
that the emperor is anxious to return to
Pexin and make all proper reparations.
The prince says the emperor and the
entire court are in small villages 60
miles away. He will not endeavor to
negotiate until the arrival of Ii Hung
Cnang, who is expected here shortly.
Lieut. BENZ. B. Hyer, commanding SO
men of the Sixth cavalry, was recently
put them to rout, his force killing %
of the Chinese.

will say:
1.-THE tropical storm that devastated
the Gulf coast, almost wiping out the
city of Galveston and doing damage
in other parts of the country. caused
reductions in the volume of business at
the south. and railroads in the Gulf
region have probably not shown their
maximum losses of earnings as yet; but
even after such catastrophe recupera-
tive power is shown. An added cause
of hesitation in business is the order for
a strike OF the anthracite coal miners.
