Three applications were made to
the district court yesterday for ad-
mission to practice law before the
courts of the territory. They were
referred to the bar committee and
Judge Gill who submitted the ap-
plicants to rigid examination last
night. Two were denied and the
committee reported tavorably upon
the request Of ]. J. Jones who was
sworn in this afternoon.
In considering the names Judge
Gill said that as far as he is con-

this territory must be possessed OF
as great legal knowledge as is re-
quired to practice before any trib-
unal in the country. The bar OF
the territory will be held up to the
very highest standard and it made
no difference to him if the appli-
cant had before practiced in other
states, he could not hope to come
here and be admitted without
qualifications of a high character.

over 100000 Idle Men.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S-ff, as Presi-
dent Mitchell. of the United Mine
Workers, claimed last night, 10000 of
141, 900 mine workers of the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite coal fields were idle
yesterday, it is certain the number
has been considerably augmented to-
day. Reports from the four big dis
tricts embracing the hard coal region
say fewer men are at work today than
yesterday and collieries that worked
full handed or nearly so yesterday, are
either badly crippled or shut down to-
day. The weather has grown much
colder. Workers argue an increased
demand for coal will hasten the adj
justment of the differences. The
talk of arbitration is so persistent,
that hope grows that this method Of
settling the strike will finally be
adopted, although the mine owners
declare they will deal only with the
employees as individuals and the strike
leaders say they win insist upon the
formal recognition of the union.

Galveston, Texas, Sept. 1S-The sit

has been brought down to business
basis as far as possible. All laborers
have been assured compensation for
their labor Every department is as
well organized as possible under the
circumstances. Supplies and money
are pouring in from all over the coun-
try. 1t is stated at least seven figures
are needed to express the amount of
cash received. The death list reaches
a total of 4,437 with additions made
today. Only a comparatively small
number of negroes who perished have
been reported. After considering all
the facts, one can hardly help con-
clude the total to be finally reached
will be above 5000. Judge Mann
stated today in his opinion the list
would go as high as 1000
The estimate of property loss of
$22,5O0OO0 is not regarded as too
high. People are becoming more
cheerful every day. People are still
leaving the city in considerable mum
bers but the relief work locally has
now been gotten down to such fine
point it is likely there will be mark
ed diminution in the exodus during
the next two or three days. Fears of
epidemic have been allayed by the
distribution of medicines and disin
