bribed to give preference to one waiter

employe cannot do this unaided by gratui-

EUROPEAN DEMAND FOR COAL

Simon ". Hanauer. Vice Consul General
OF the United States at Frankfort. Ger

State as follows.
Since my previous report on this sub
Ject =:.-.e1---, Z7--sI enquiries have reach
ed me from American coal mining and ex-
porting companies asking for addresses o.
German coal dealers and industrial works
which are large consumers OF this staple
l have had interviews with some OF these,
and learn as follows.
There is a scarcity Of and great demand
for coal and coke, not only in Germany
but also In all other continental countries.

Russia. This amounts almost 10 a crisis
Several industrial establishments in Co

lately obliged 10 stop work; one OF these
employed 500 hands. who now are idle
The scarcity in coke is most severely felt
and the iron and steel establishments.

year on contract. must pay FOR additional
requirements-tO be satisfied in the open
market-s9.99 per ton.
Dealers aud consumers would be glad
10 supply their wants from outside sources.
but nearly all are bound by their contracts
with the German coal syndicate of the
Ruhr district not 10 use any foreign coal or
coke. The penalties of the contract cover
ing this stipulation are heavy; besides. II

watchers employed at the ports OF arrival

tracts for delivery 20 anyone who gets sup
plies from Mining companies not members
Of the combination.
There appears to be great Indignation
among consumers and dealers because Of
the arbitrary and eXacting course Of the
German coal trust and a strong desire 10
escape from the present situation. But
exports OF American cCal to Europe can be
enectualiy inaugurated and gain permanent
footing only If organized on a large scale.
Trade cannot be done b. opening cnrres-

on the coal trust. Eva II the latter were

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

senator DebOe's Pnrt.-Thaf Senator
Deboe is largely responsible for Taylor's
stubborn stand at Frankfort is generally
believed by all well-informed Kentuckians
Of both parties. but not until his boast
yesterday that Il was mainly ou his advice
that Taylor has refused to sign the agree
ment OF the Louisville peace conference
were many people in Washington aware
that the Senator is standing in the way OF
the early restoration of civil government
in Kentucky. There is no denying the
fact that Kentuckians are convinced that
Senator Deboe has furnished a big part
barricaded in the State House at Frank
fort. Senator Deboe left Frankfort the
night before Goebel was killed. II is con-
tended that il was his duty TO return ct
once 10 the scene OF excitement and exert
his utmos; influence in behalf OF peace and
order. He was accompanied by former
Secretary OF State Finley. who is described
as one OF the most thoroughly desperate
Republicans in the State Finleys where
abouts, by the way. have not been made
known since he left Frankfort. He is a
mountaineer. and il is suggested as a pos
sibility that he is in the mountains firing
the hearts Of his ignorant and irrespOnsi-
bic followers to further resistance TO he
Law. Il is also thought probable that he
came On TO Washington with Senator De
Doe and win remain here until he cOnsid-
ers IL ep ptirely safe 20 return 20 Frank
fort. II Senator DebOe were peacesbly in-
clined il is thought his presence AT Frank
forr would soon restore peace. but since
his voice is for war IL is considered pos
tive benefit TO the situation that he pre-
fers to stay in Washington until a few

bubJing The Bluegrass State at present

boe's following is said TO come mainly
from that element. and be is accused or

To Change the Capital

To Change the CnpifaI.-The fact that
the Kentucky Democrats are organizing
their Government at Louisville is regard
ed as d not improbable fOreruner OF a
strong movement to change the permanent
seat Of the State Government to that city
II is pointed out that in a city as large
as Louisville. with a modern social and
governmental organization, il would be
impossible 10 witness anything like a re-
cUrrence OF the unprecedented and dis
graceful occurrences at Frankfort. II is
held that in the very nature of things the
assassination Of GOebel never could have
occurred in Louisville. or il By some i'm
probable accident the police had failed 10
arrest the horde OF murderous mountain
eers who committed the wretched crime
as they came into the city loaded down
with firearms and other deadly weapons.
Taylor would not have been able 10 keen
the police from making an Immediate
search OF the building for the murderers
For this reason, aside from innumerable
other advantages offered by Louisville a.
is said that a powerful effort will be made
by the Democrats to remove the capital
from the squalid. unkempt little town of
Frankfort TO the metropolis Of Kentucky

Both Machine Men-Now n

Both Machine Men--Now that a
peaceful settlement OF their unprecedented
difficulties is in sight Kentucllians are be
ginning to speak out plainly on the char
acter Of the two men who mainly we're to
blame for the shameful conditions de-
veloped an Frankfort Il is being shown
that Goebel was quite as much a machine
candidate as Taylor was. The only differ
crce betv cen them on this score was that
GOebel employed q machine OF his ONn
construction in securing the Democratic
nomination. while Taylor secured his
nomination through the poverful aid OF
the Republican National machine under
the manipulation Of Mark Hanna There
are hundreds Of Kentucky Democrats who
today viii say that had any other man
than the NapoleOuic GoebeI been nomi-
mated the party would have swept the field
with an uld-time majority Of forty thou
sand or more There are hundreds OF
sane and respectable Republicans who con
tend now that had a Republican Of tnc
character of John W 0erkes been nOLi-
mated against Goebel the party's victory Of
four years AGO would nave been repeated
despite the fact that ali Of the election
machinery Was iu the hands Of the Demo
Gratis There is. no doubt al all that with
ont Hannas assistance Taylor could
not have been nominated aud there
Is no doubt al all that Dut for
his splendid personal machine Goebpl could
not have headed the Democratic ticket
While there is no room for dispute cn the
DemOcre'ic claim that as a man and pSli-
ucian Coe5el was incomparably the supe-
nor Of Tsy or both in purity Of character
and cleanliness of methods. Vet they we're
both so weak within their respective par
ties tESt a parallel on this score an be

Goebel was the most powerful personality

but uiany Kentuckians OF proud lineage

politics Of Kentucky. He was a boss in
the str.ctest sense OF that term. There
can be no denying the fact that there was
a rigid caste feeling against him by rea-
son OF the circumstance 81 his humble

Boise made him an honorary MEM
ber,,' and endorsed his actions because
they are the scrubs Of the earth, de-
pendent entirely on State printing.
Had he been member of some other
Typographical Union in good standing,
he would have been entitled to there
deposit his card such. The journal
of the Typographical uni/ n, Qndianap-
olis) has fully exposed his false preten-
ses in that regard. The two Typo
graphical unions nearest to Boise (Spo-
kane and Anaconda) have passed res
olutions denouncing his course. He
had petitions circulated throughout the
district asking for the continuance of
the soldiers there and approving his
actions, which the people, especially
miners, refused to sign; and for such
refusals miners were discharged at the
Mammoth (Burke) and other mines.

How does he stand with the classes

'.Nearly all condemn his course
In conclusion Mr.. Boyce said: t'The
Miners Unions have been charged with
everything bad. Yet the military have
seized and held the records, safes,
books; seals, etc., of all those unions,
and would certainly have secured evil
:dence, if such existed, that these unions
are illegal and dangerous. Neverthe
less, while there have been some 1,500
arrests, and none could get out on hab
cas- corpus, there has not been one pro-
secution based on these seized dOcu-
ments.' -, ' =
If the Miners unions are composed
of men of Mr.. Boyce's stamp, we may
safely dismiss as palpable calumnies
and misrepresentation the subsized
charges that they are promoters Of dis
order and enemies of the legitimate
rights of property. They must be re-
garded, on the contrary, as the organ
lied advocates of peaceful progress, en-
deavoring to secure the rights of labor
only through the regular process of
law, while. their opponents are terror
lists whose highest conception of social
order is bounded by military force

and National capitals. :.~,. "
