cOal Reglon.

cOaa Region.
Washington, Oct. 10.-The am
nual report OF the mine inspector
for the Indian Territory has been
received. 1t states that the coal
industry in the Indian Territory
for the past year has been active.
Some new companies have been
organized. but the larger proper
tior Of coal has been produced by
the companies which for some
years have been operating there,
and the latter generally have in
creased their output. The total
product shows an increase CT 35
per cent.
A. few Of the operators have
perfected leases under the present
rules and regulations. and some are
operating under old contracts with
the Indian tribes. put the larger
number have applications pending
for leases, which will be perfected
when the prescribed regulations
are complied with.
The last year has been more
prolific of accidents than any pre-
vious year.
The increased output of coal. as
well as the increased accidents,
has made the year q very busy one
for the inspectors Office. One
cause of numerous accidents, the
Indian inspector states, is the en-
pfoyment of unskilled miners dur
ing the strike. An analysis of the
accidents shows the first and prin-
cipal cause of the accident to be
the falling of roofs, of which there
have been twenty seven during the
last year, eleven of which have
proved fatal. The roof of the
mines in the Indian Territory is an
argillaceous sbale, which, wher
dry, appears hard and firm, but
when subjected to moisture rap
idly disintegrates and "slacks, y
causing heavy falls to take place
Exposure to moist air will in 6
very short time transform this ap
} parently hard substance into dus
) end afterwards into a sticky mnd
1t is during the hot summer anC
, fall months that the moisture il
the air sinks into the mines, caus
ing the roof to sweat" and be
coming a source of very grea
danger and expense. In the dry
winter months, when the moisture
in the air seeks the outside, leav
ing the air within the mine devoiC
of moisture, the subtle volatil,
coal dust permeates the mine ant
becomes the source of danger from
, explosions to which the Iudial
, Territory mines have been so Otter
subject. Therefore, it must b,
considered that in this Territory
special cause of danger is existen
at all seasons, in addition to tn,
other numerous risks incident t.
the business and inseparable from
the operations of coal mines.

Dawes Commission Explanation.


A special from South McAlester
to the Kansas City Times says:
Much misrepresentation through
out the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations has resulted from the let
ters sent out by the Dawes com
mission to contested applicants for
citizenship, advising them of an
appointment to be held at Atoka
in December to finally hear and
determine their claims.
To correct this tie commission
is sending out second letter sug-
gesting the purpose of the appoint
ment and the procedure to be
adopted. Applicants whose status
depends upon the determination by
the commission of a question of
law need not appear at all at Ato-
ka, but have the privilege of filing
written arguments at any time be-
fore March /, 1901. Other appli-
cants whose cases depend upon
questions of fact are advised that
they need not appear at such ap-
pointment unless they are notified
by the Nations prior to October 81
1900, that additional testimony
will be taken. II such applicants
desire to submit additional testi
mony TO do so at such time and
place, in which event they will be
required to serve notice upon the
attorneys for the Nations prior to
October 81, 1900.
This explanation of the scope
and purpose of the appointment
corrects the misrepresentation that
has gone out, and it appears that
only those cases in which addi-
tional testimony will be offered by
the Nations and applicants will be
heard.

The Macrum incident, during
the early stages of the Transvaal
war brought up the question of a
secret alliance between the United
States, and the charges made at
that time were never directly con-
tradicted by the administration or
its organs. In fact. while the
Washington administration was
busily engaged in denouncing Ma
crum for his patriotic action, Eng
lish statesmen like Salisbury were
confirming the alleged secret ALI
ance by their public utterances.
Now Chamberlain, the arch traitor
with Cecil Rhodes in South Africa,
has added his testimony to the
prima facie case made out against
the Mckinley government. In q
speech Tuesday this imperialistic
votary said: Great Britain's for
eign policy. as | sum it up, is to
remain on friendly terms with
every great country in Europe, and
on something more than friendly
terms with the United States. :"
This shows that there is a secret
alliance between the two govern
ments, for if there were not he
would not use is to remain in
connection with the United States,
bnt would have said, and to get
ON something more than friendly
terms with the United States. +"
But he says. to remain" Ito re-
main being nnderstood). This is
the best corroboration yet received
of Macrum's charges. Now let
the administration explain what
Chamberlain meant.

A PRECARIOUs PROFESSION
Chenaists Always Exposed to Fumes of
Deadly Poison.

One of the most precarious methods of
earning living Is that OF the workmrn
In the large drug factories in Baltimore,
says the American of that city. Although
1t is not generally known to be the case,
there are several large wholesale drug
factories In the city which handle enough
poison to kill a whole community. Those
who are employed there, and even those
who fill prescriptions in the drug stores,
need to exercies great deal of care. to
keep from inhaling the fumes or tasting
the deadly drugs they handle.
Still other drugs and chemicals have
infiammable properties, and are apt, at
any time, if the utmost discretion is not
used, 10 explode. setting FIRE to any ma
terial near. and severely burning the
careless handler. 1t has long been known
that oil tanks should not be placed
even In the neighborhood of paint or
drug factory, ana many accidents have
occurred as a result OF failing to observe
this precaution. Among the deadly acids
which form part of the drug trade are
the nitric and suiphuric, which Will burn
through almost any substance, and
can only be kept In bulk, In carboys.
Should any quantity Of the nitric acid
become liberated or spilled the effect
would be horrible to contemplate. Every
thing 1t touched would be burned, and

The sickening fumes would prevent fire.

good, for, while the fumes will not kill
Instantly, death is often the result OF a
long inhalation OF them.
pha cnnseunanna ig that th0g6 whORa
business 1t is 60 handle these drugs re-
gard them with as much fear as they
would deadly snake, and handle them
with the same amount OF care they would
display in the transportation Of a keg OF
Dynamite. Their pet abomination is the
cyanide OF potassium, whose fumes,
strange to say, are not in the least poi

OF the hundreds that are handled in Bal.
Simore. Without them the medical profef.
sion, and, in fact, great many others,
would fare badly; SO, however danger
GUS 1t is to work among them, they are
essential to health, and must be had.
Accidents nowadays are comparatively
rare, and, like every other dangerous oc-
cupation, is only made SO by the careless
ness Of those at work In them. There
are, of course, some instances where the
greatest care could not have prevented
the accident. but, by long experience,
those who have made a business of hand
ling and producing them have reduced 1t

YARMOUTH.

There was good attendance at the first
meeting of the Lookout committee OF the
North Cumberland Christian Endeayor
Union o. the First Parish parsonage yes
terday afternoon. The committee organ
lied by the choice Of Mr.. Arno 8. Chase
as chairman, and Miss Theresa Soule as
secretary. The present condition Of the
various societies in the Union was CON-
sidered, and the secretary was instructed
to write to several of them to see II, In
some way, they might not be encouraged
and made more efficient. The most i'm
portant action taken by the committee
was the arranging for an Interchange OF
visits by all the societies between now
and the next convention ct Yarmouth In
January. ID was arranged that Yarmouth
and South Freeport should exchange
visits; also Cumberland Centre and West
Falmouth; Frseport Congregational is to
visit Pownal; Fresport Baptist is to visit
Freeport Congregational; New Gloucester
visits Gray, Gray visits Gloucester Hill,
Gloucester Hill visits New Gloucester,
and Pownal visits Freeport Baptist. The
special feature OF the plan Is that no dates
are made, and no society can tell before
hand when 1t is to be visited. The Visits
viii be In the nature of surprise parties.
Thus all the societies will be kept on
their good behavior. The action Of the
committee does not bind any society, but
is recommendation that will doubtless
be gladly adopted.
The first supper and social Of the
Ladies' Circle last evening at the chapel
was largely attended. Mrs. Il. Dudley
Freeman ana Mrs. Harriet A. Hall were
the hostesses. An interesting history of
the circle was read by Chas. Il. Marston,
Esq. The circle was organized fifty years
ago, and the historical sketch was pre-
pared by Mrs. Rebecca Humphrey, one OF
the original members, who was present
during the evening. The following pro-
gramme was given, Piano duet, Misses
Wilson and Mitchell; recitation, "snap
judgment" Pauline Stubbs; boys march;
Ladies' Orchestra, Georgia campmeeting
medley; story, IAN Independent Pair, =
Miss Inez Whitoomb; recitation, How
Jimmy Tended the Bay" Helen Psndle-
ton; babies parade orchestra. The next
social will be given November 81
A social event of much more than ordt-
nary interest was a double wedding
which occurred at Yarmouthville yester-
day afternoon at three. The contracting
parties were MIR. Willis K. True and Miss
Florence E. Sawyer, and Mr.. Arthur
Hewitt and Miss Cora True. Mr.. and
Miss True being brother and sister. Mr..
True and Miss Sawyer were married by
Rev. II. l.. Caulkins, OF the Baptist
church, and Mr.. Hewitt and Miss True
by Rev. q. E. Brooks, Of the Methodist
church. A ring was used in each cere-
mony. The house was flled with the
many relatives and friends present. The
decorations showed excellent taste. The
happy couples stood under canopy of
green and white. The brides were dressed
alike, and carried white roses. The we'd
ding march was played by Mrs. Il. X.
Cook. There were many costly and beau
tiful presents. The wedding party left on
the O. 10 train for Boston amid the crsto-
mary showers of rice, and the congratu-
lations OF their numerous friends.
