AMERICAN COAL IN LEAD.
Col. w. +. Rend Says Countries of
Europe Must Look to This Conn
try for Future Supplies.

Col. w. p. Rend has returned to
Chicago from two months visit to
Europe, confident that the nations of
the old world will have to look to this
country more and more for their coal
supplies. and with n firm belief that
the great natural resources of this
country are certain to give ii a stead
lily increasing prominence in the mar
kets Of the world.
"There is no doubt that American
coal is TO be in steadily increasing de-
mand in Europe" he said. The de-
mand is there now, and there is a
ready market for every pound of our
coal. The English coal fields are be-
coming so difficult and expensive to
work that it is impossible for that
country successfully to compete with
our coal much longer. Prices of coal
there have doubled within the last is
months, snG so alarmed have the Eng
lish people become at this condition.
which carries with il most serious
menace to their steel and iron manu-
6acturers, that leading English papers
are advocating an export tax on coal
in order to prevent the exhaustion of
the supply and 10 protect their iron
and steel makers from the further en-
croachments of the American makers"

STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Men Are Oncinlly Ordered to Return
10 the Mincs-Ncws Causes
Great joy.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 26.-The mine
workers strike has been declared off
against all companies which have com
piled with the strikers demands, and
the strike will be continued against
those companies which have not
granted the Scranton convention
demand. The strikers will return to
work Monday at the places where the
tie-up is ended.
There was much rejoicing here
when the announcement was made
that the coal strike was at an end
in so far as concerned the col
lieries where the conditions demand
ed by the miners had been complied
with. The news spread quickly and
headquarters. Most of them were

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 26.-The bull
letin announcing the ending of the
great miners strike was received here
with the greatest enthusiasm by all
and large crowds collected in front of
the newspaper offices. When the bull
letin was posted there was a look of sat :
isfaction on every face. Business men
in particular were much pleased that
the conflict had come to an end. There
are some individual operators who have
not posted notices. 1t is said they are
holding back until they get a better
carrying rate from the big coal COM
panies. The Lehigh Valley company
agreed to the original ten per cent.
increase. but has not posted notices yet

car, as agreed to by the Delaware,

nation of the anthracite coal miners
strike is not yet general, several of
the operating companies having failed
to post notices granting the increase
which the men demand, and on the ac-
ceptance of which the great majority
of the 10000 men who engaged in the
struggle will return to work Monday,
but nevertheless the whole anthracite
region is filled with JOY.

Welded A SECOND TIME.
Aged Couple Separated for Thirty
Years Reunited-A Roman
tic Affair.

A Kansas City special to Toledo
(O.) paper says: Matthias Stephanz,
aged So years, of Toledo, o., and Mary
Stephan, aged SIS years, of this city,
were married the other day by Pro-
bate Judge Snyder, of Kansas City,
Kan, in his Office IN the courthouse.
There is an interesting bit of romance
connected with the marriage of this
aged couple. The union makes the
second time that their lives have been
linked together as man and wife,
their first wedding taking place in
Ohio 33 years ago.
Three years after their first mar
riage they separated, Mrs. Stephanz
coming out west and making her
home with relatives in this city. Ten
years ago they were divorced, and Mr..
Stephan soon after became the hus-
band of another Toledo woman. She
died shortly after the marriage. and
it was then that Mr.. Stephanz sought
reconciliation with his first wife. A
correspondence began which termin-
ated the other day in their marriage
in the Kansas metropolis. Mr.. Steph-
anz left the same night for Toledo,
where they will make their future
home"

ADMISSION 10 WEST POINT.
Superintendent Recommends That
Standard of Educational Re-
Quirements BE Raised.

Col. A. l.. Mills, superintendent Of
the military academy at West Point,
has made his annual report to the adj
jutant general.
He devotes the greater part OF his
report to an earnest plea for the ele-
walton of the standard of admission
to West Point, to which end he sug-
gests that the secretary of war be
empowered to prescribe these require
ments. He lays particular stress,upon
the fact that the entrance examine
tons at present correspond closely to
the educational qualifications of pupils
of the public schools just emerging
from the primary grades. According
to the commissioner of education,
pupils of an average age of l41a years
in the public schools have these quail
fications. Yet the average age of the
applicant to West Point is above. and
boys Mt that time of life should be
equipped with high school education,
including subjects which are not now
part of the entrance examination al
West Point but which should he in
tHe lutuTe' Inc superintendent say .
it would be in every way adyanta-
geous to have the relations between
arithmetic and algebra and geometry
Made the same as now exists in the
PUBLIC schools. There is no desire
that-fhe entrance examinations should
be made more difficult, but only that
ii should require what the public
schools of the country supply.
