DUE TO HANNA'S EFFORTS.
The Senator Urged Concessions to
Miners-Vieyvs of Arkansas Jones'

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-In regard to the set
Element of the coal miners strike in Penn
syIvania. Senator James X. Jones, chair
man of the Democratic national committee,
said to-day: 1.-The settlement indicates
clearly TO my mind the fact that the trusts
are beginning 10 have wholesome regard
for public opinion. They would not have
yielded to the demands OF the men except
from fear that the consequences might
be disastrous to the administration. which
is the friend of the trusts. This public
lesson will not be lost. 1t means that the
trusts are themselves afraid of the people
and IL is a hopeful sign for the Democ-
racy."
AT Republican national committee head
quarters Secretary Perry S. Heath stated
that some weeks before the strike or
dered Chairman Hanna was requested by
delegations headed by President Mitchell
TO try to effect an adjustment of the
miners grievances. Mr.. Hanna informed
the delegation that he was glad to hear
from them and that he would consult with
the mine owners, TO be informed on
both sides of the situation After doing so,
he concluded that nearly all of the claims
OF the miners should be allowed. The prin-
cipal object of Mr.. Hanna's last visit to
New York Mr.. Heath said was to consult
with the mine owners and railroad officials
and he then secured a promise that they
would accede to substantially all of the
miners demands.

In your report of Hon James III. Eckelss

toner was not in the balcony. but on the
main floor. but well TO the rear. The ques-
fion was: what would have been The diff

gold. as 1t did begin to bull gold and bear
silver by uniting on gold as the fixed
standard Of values?" To this Mr. Eckels
OF the Uciyed States has never either bulled
silver or beared gold" which is true so far
as i know. but 1t has beared silver and
bulied gold. and is doing so now. and 1t Is
this bearing OF silver TO bulling OF gold
that makes money monarchy in the Ma

Strong Case I'm Point Showing the
Error of the Idea that the life
Companies DO This sort OF Thing.

The willingness OF many people to be-
lieve that life Insurance companies are In
the habit OF resisting the payment OF
policies has been matter OF previous COM
ment in these columns. AS matter OF fact,
the life companies practically pay every
policy claim that natures. including many
that probably are fraudulent. rather than
70 work a possible injustice. as well as TO
avoid the odium OF having IL believed they
do otherwise. But even this magnanimfty
Is apparently wasted. as many newspapers
seem ready TO sow broadcast the idea that
the contesting OF payments is frequently
attempted by the companies.
n case IN point Is that OF the Provsdent
Lie and Trust Company. OF Philadelphia.
which has recently been enormously re-
ported as having refused 10 pay a claim
on the life or the wife OF Prof. Swithin
G. Shortlidge, OF the town Of Media. in
that State. The woman was killed by her
husband in 1893. He was adjudged GRIM
tnally guiltless on account OF insanity, and
committed TO an asylum. whence he was
recently released. There was a rnatured
endowment policy on his life and the
al maturity. But Prof. ShOrtlidge's cred
itors on one side. and his murdered wife's
relatives on the other. each claimed the
money, and the company has simply asked
the courts TO determine which party A
entitled 10 IL.
IL IS remarkable case all around. but
the companys position fully bears out the
principle that the standard life organiza-
tons not only do not tight policy payments,
but are really always anxious 10 get the
money into the rightful claimants hands

MAY BE A HITCH.
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE)


icers of the United Mine Workers were
disposed to accept the condition that pow
der should figure in the present negota-
tons. After reading over the dispatch care
fully the coal man said: Now, really, the
men can have no objection TO offer The
powder question has been terribly mixed.
The companies have no desire to take adj
vantage of the men in the matter The
first offer was made in good faith and to-
day, at Scranton, we renewed the offer
with another condition, that 1t should hold
good until April /. Notices in compliance
with sthis resolution, as adopted by the
meeting, will be posted at the collieries to-
morrow. The offer means a straight 10 per
cent. increase i'm the wages of the men.
1t is true the price of powder will be COM
puted as part OF the increase TO contract
miners. But that does not make any differ
ence on the whole Every man who works
will earn 10 per cent more in wages than
ne did under the old system. That certainly
ought to be plain enough. If the men We're
10 be paid 10 per cent. increase in wages
and then given a reduction in price of
powder besides, that would practically
mean 20 per cent. increase, and, as far
as j can learn, the men have not asked for
such raise.

The Baldwin locomotive works, whose
shops have been exceedingly busy for
many months. have received two large do
nestle orders for engines. One is for thirty
freight locomotives for the Chicago, Bur-
ington & Quincy Railroad, and the other
is for thrty-two engines for the Union Pa
ciic Company. A member of the firm
states that the report that an order has
been received for locomotives from the d.
rector of the South African Railroad is not
correct. The Brooks locomotive works are
building twenty-five large and powerful en-
gines for the Erie Railroad. They will be
used both in the freight and passenger
sci vice. They will run on one of the west
divisions. The Pere Marquette Rail-
road has also ordered ten locomotives of
the Brooks locomotive works. which will
be built soon.

THE NEW CLASSIFICATION
THE COMMITTEE is CONSIDERING
CHANGES EFFECTIVE JAN. L.
The Corn Crop Expected to Move
Ear7y-Grein Rates, IL Rumors Are
True, Not strictly Observed.

The official classification committee Of
the Trunk-line Association. which consists
OF the general freight agents OF the sew
eral roads in the association. is still in ses-
sion in New York. and applications for re-
vision OF classification are being heard.
The action OF the committee is of the
greatest Importance TO every shipper, espe-
cially in Trunk-line and Central Freight
Association territory. Under the present
plan OF regulating freight rates the CLASH
fcation committee makes the rates, and
during the past year the entire country
has united in an emphatic protest against
existing classifcations. The protest has
not been strong enough TO bring about
the changes which the shippers thought
should be made, but at the same time II
has been so strong that IL has reached
even the good ear of the members of the
classification committees of the different
associations, and before the present meet
ing was held IL was thought advisable to
issue notice that there would be no ad-
vances in classifications. A year ago this
same committee established a precedent by
advancing rates by changes in the classi-
fication that has done more than anything,
perhaps, 10 unsettle the whole freight stu
alton The committee made a radical adj
vance in classifications.
