Becoming More CompIica,ed.

Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 15.-The
striking of the hoisting engineers in
the coal fields of this state is hecom-
ing more complicated and an early
settlement is not predicted. The 1000
idle miners in Indiana do rot feel
that the engineers were justified in
forcing idleness upon them at this
time of the year. The miners are un-
der contract with the operators to
work until April and it would be
difficult thing for them to refuse to
work if non-union engineers were en-
ploycd at the mines. The block coal
operators held a meeting at Brazil
Wednesday and passed resolutions
entering into an agreement not to
recognize the striking engineers as
an organization.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Postmaster
General Smith has framed his esti-
mates to be submitted TO congress
ana will ask an aggregate of about
Sl2l,OO0,OO0 as the appropriation for
the entire service for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1902. This includes
an estimate of $3.50, 900 for the rural
free delivery service.

rural free delivery routes throughout
the United States will have been es-
tablished and the general extension
contemplated for next year will in
volve about 1900 additional routes.
The success of tie service so far in

capital he went into the Kansas-Mis-
souri, zinc districts, where he made
speculations which proved disastrous.
AS a result he found himself prac-
tically penniless. Then a well known
Kansas physician made him a propo-
sition to go into partnership with him
in the manufacture of patent med
icine, and Leedy took him up. He de-
clares that he feels no loss of dignity
and is not troubled with false pride
in starting out with his wagon.
Il must have an income" he says,
"and man can't make a business of
being governor. We have something
to sell, and it is my business to find
customers. l am simply doing what
hundreds of men have done before
me. Because l have been little un-
fortunate in financial matters, is that
any reason why should lie down and
give up the fght?"

A MORAL CRUSADE.
Tr. Croker Asks Tammany's Leaders
TO suppress Vice In Greater New
NnrE

| TO Suppress Vice In Greater New
York.
New York, Nov. 16.-The executive
| committee Of Tammany Hall held a
meeting last night at which Richard
Croker bade all the leaders good-bye
| and took a hand in the starting of
the movement to rid the city of vice.
In little speech the Tammany lead
er said he was going to Errope for
health, not pleasure, and introduced
lsidor Straus, president of the Edu-
cational alliance, as a man who was
acquainted with the condition of
things on the East Side, adding:
II hope you will give attentive hear
ing to his statements as to the con-
ditions of vice that exist and after
you bear what he has to say you will
make every effort to correct those
evils as far as lies in your power"
Mr.. Straus said he had met Croker
at dinner accidentally and had talked
with him for two hours over the con-
1itions in the East Side and Mr.. Cro-
ker had asked him to talk to the ex-
scutive committee of Tammany Hall.
Then, addressing the committee. Mr..
Strans told of what was needed on
the East Side to suppress crime. He
said that he as democrat had fre-
Iuently had cast up to him the state
ment that Tammany Hall receives
the greater part of its revenue from
people in this evil condition of life
and that no good can be accomplished
unless the power of Tammany Hall is
destroyed.
Lewis Nixon then, by resolution,
had a committee of five appointed to
Investigate the moral conditions of
the city aud to receive and suggest
remedies for the correction of
abuses
Mr.. Croker then arose and said 81
have nothing to add TO what has been
said to you by Mr. Straus, because he
is familiar with the matters on which
he has spoken to you. I hope shat
this entire committee will give its full
strength towards helping him and
his work. We should heartily endorse
his remarks and aid him in the work
of crushing out this awful crime. And
right here ] want to reiterate what |
said three weeks ago to you. and that
possession from landlords of pool
rooms and houses of ill-fame, and il
any one of you gentlemen are collect
ing from any of these people, YOU
lad better get out of the organiza-
ton. 1t has no use for you. You
are a Disgrace to it. The organization
can't and won't stand for any such
thing"

NATIONAL GRANGE.
Ahe Patrons of Husbandry Begin a
Weeks Session in Washington.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The thirty
fourth annual session of the National
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, began
here Wednesday with a good attend
ance and will continue for a week or
more. The chief feature of interest
yesterday was the annual address of
Worthy Master Aaron Jones, of In
diana, who said that in most of the
states the order had enjoyed great
prosperity during the year. In few
states 1t had not succeeded so well.
Never had the conditions been more
favora able for the extension of the or
der than now. While agricultural
conditions are somewhat improved
over what they were a few years ago.
they are not what they should be,
SAID Mr.. Jones. The price of what
farmers had to buy, he said, are too
hlgh compared with what they had to
sell. lie urged opposition to the ship
subsidy bill and spoke of the growth
OF the industrial combinations until
the entire country is justly alarmed"
lie urged an amendment to the con-
sttution, clear and express in its
terms, empowering congress with the
N'''' ~ cor
porations.
The interstate commerce law, the
grand master argued should be
amended so that all sections of the
country could secure fair and eouit-
able freight rates. This being secur-
ed, the hardest blow that at this time
could be struck to monopolies and
trusts and the greatest encourage
ments to enterprise and thrift would
be given.
The report of the secretary. DR..
John Trimble, of Washington. showed
mat 1e" new oranges had been char
tered during the year-the order now
numbering over a half million MEM
bers.
During the day addresses were de-
livered by Assistant Secretary 7. III.

ment; Edward Wiggin and Mrs. Wig

Study of Finger Nails.

An exhaustive study of the nails of
the hand has been made by p. A. Nina
koff, and some of the results appear to
be of medico-legal importance.
Among other things" says Popular
Science, ''he asserts that the nails of
the right hand in a right-handed per-
son are wider by one-half to two milli-
meters than the corresponding nails on
the left hand; while in left-handed
person the reverse obtains, and in the
ambideXtrous the nails are of equal
size on the two hands. The thickness
of the nails diminishes progressively
from the thumb to the little finger"

ALASKA'S PEOPLE.
Report Of the Census Enumerator In
the Frozen Territory-The Indians
Are the Most Destitute People In
North America.


Washington, Nov. 15.-The census
bureau recently completed the emu
meraticn of the district of Alaska.
The schedules have been received at
the office ard are now in process of
tabulation. The director of the cen
sus Wednesday gave out the following
statement with reference to the work
in that great territory:
'Mr. Samuel c. Durham, who had
charge of the work in the northern
district, returned to Washington a
few days ago and submitted his final
report. He left Washington on this
work May 4, 1899.
THE native and mixed population
OF the northern district of Alaska is
12,652. The mcst populous district
with respect TO the native population
is the country lying between the
mouth of Yukon and the Kuskoquin
rivers and extending back from the
coast 100 miles. Mr.. Maurice John
son, the agent for this district, trav-
eled over 1000 miles with dog team
during the winter, and enumerated
Bob persons, all of whom were In
dians.
The Indians in this region are
probably the most destitute people in
the North American continent. Mr..
johnson reports that from December
l to March Is he visited "a Indian vii
lagos, and during that time saw but
three fires burning in the shacks or
dugouts. The poor creatures huddle
together in their miserable DWELLINGS,
during the long winter and subsist
on frozen fish and little seal oil,
which they secure on the coast dur
ing the summer. The fur bearing
animals which formerly furnished
them with natural clothing, are near
ly extinct and they have been forced
TO adopt the white mans garb, and
as their poverty prevents them from
securing enough to cover their naked
ness there is great suffering from the
cold. The spiritual condition of these
neglected natives is no better than
the physical.
The Nome district is the most pop
ulous in northern Alaska. The emu
meration showed a permanent white
population on June l of 2,704. During
the summer about $4,000 people land
ed at Nome, about $500 of those com
ing from Dawson. About $4,000 have
returned to their homes in the states,
leaving about 5000 people in the re-
glon contiguous to Nome. Ii is prob
able that the population of the town
of Nome during The winter will be be-
tween 1900 and 5000"

TWO GREAT STEAMSHIPS.
Their KeeIs are Being Laid I'm a Ship
yard at GrOtOn. Conn. - Will be the
Largest In the World.

New London, Conn, Nov. 16.-Worlt
began this week on the laying of the
keels of the two mammoth iron
steamships to be built OF the works
of the Eastern Shipbuilding Co. at
Groton, opposite New London, and
from this date the work of putting
together the hulls of the ships will go
rapidly on
There was issued from the Office of
the company yesterday an authorita-
tive statement regarding the size of
the ships, which shows them to be
larger than any vessels in the world
now building or planned. The new
vessels will be of 10000 tons register
and $4,000 tons displacement, or just
10000 tons more displacement than
the new Atlantic greyhound Deutsch-
land. The new steamers, which are
being built primarily for cargo car
riers, are not as long as many Allan
tic liners, but are much wider and
deeper. The following are the prin-
cipal dimensions of the vessels:
Length $50 feet, beam 73 feet, depth
55 feet.
They have each five continuous
decks extending the whole length of
the ship, with three additional par
tial decks amidships.
Passengers as well ms freight will
be carried and accommodations are
provided for nearly 1,0oe passengers
in three classes.
They are designed to carry cattle,
chilled or frozen meats in refrigerat-
ing chambers, fruit or any kind of
cargo that may appear for transpor
tatfoR-
1t is estimated that when completed
the steamships will cost fully $4,000
coo. and they are intended to run
from the Pacific coast to Oriental
ports In connection with the Great
Northern railway

MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE.
Public Career of the Peer who Has
Been Made British Secretary
for Foreign Affairs.

The lord of $4,000 acres of land,
Henry Charles Keith PettyFitzmaur-
ice, marquis of Lansdowne, has a long
list of territorial and other titles. but
perhaps his chief claim to the distinc-
tion of long and honorable descent is
the fact that he is the twenty-sixth
baron of Kerry and Lixnaw, which
carries his pedigree back to 1871, and
that one of his ancestors was Strong
bow, earl of Pembroke.
The present marquis, the fifth, is IS
years old. His mother was a daughter
of Comte de Plahault and Baroness
Keith and Nairn. He entered official
life at the age of "a, when, as warm
adherent of Mr.. Gladstone, he was made
lord of the treasury. After three years
in this office he became under secretary
for war, holding the post two years.

A BIG FAILURE.
The Dry Goods House of ". Il. Strong
d Co Goes Into the Hands OF a Rec
cefyer.

New York, Nov. 15.-1'he appoint
ment of receiver for the firm of w
l.. Strong & Co. has been discussed
with much interest in mercantile cir
cles here, in view of the report that
the firms affairs are in much worse
condition than those who knew the
late Mayor Strong suspected. The
Commercial Advertiser prints the fol-
lowing:
"A bank president who has been do
ing business with the firm is quoted
rs saying that ii had been well known
in the street that the eN-Inayor was
not by any means so rich as was gem
orally supposed. He was not mill
Ilonaire and he was not very wealthy.
Lately he and Mr.. Stott had been pre-
senting their notes in sizes all the
way from $4,000 to $lo0,O00 so that
the lending banks became cautious,
and then many of us refused to dis
count their stock. The two dead mem
bers of the firm had been swapping
paper; Mr.. Strong endorsed Mr..
Stott's notes and Mr.. Stott endorsed
Mr. Strong's. 1t was an accommoda-
tion paper and served to show that
the firm was in difficulties"
Edward A. Treat. the receiver of
the firm of w. l.. Strong & Co., said
yesterday that he was unable to re-
move the uncertainty as to whether
or not the firm is solvent. 1t is not
yet known whether or not the firm
was financially embarrassed before
the death of eX-Mayor Strong Mr..
Treat made the following statements:
mo one can tell whether or not the
firm is solvent The books must be
gone over and days will be required
for that work. Just as soon as ! can
| will issue a statement of the firm S
affairs
Counsel said that the Strong firm
bad endorsed more than 100000 in
notes for the Stott wooden mills for
which the firm was agent, and that
owing to the sudden death of former
Mayor Strong and of +. II. Stott.
heads of the two concerns, within
three days of each other, had brought
about crisis by the dissolving of the
firms at moment when large sums
were due. The Stott mills are located
in Stottville, Y. Y.
"lf either Mr.. Strong or Mr.. Stott
had lived the difficulty might have
been settled without public embar-
rassment," said a representative of
the counsel yesterday. I'VE cannot
say what action will be taken in re-
gard to winding up the business OF
the Stott Co., but it is the debts of
that concern rather than those of
Strong d Go. that have brought about
the present condition. The Stott
partnership is dissolved the same as
that of Strong & CO..

w. F. I,eavenworth photographed the
asteroid Eros through the telescope
at the State university observatory
Wednesday evening. Considering that
the diminutive planet is said to be
34,000,000 miles away, it was long
shot. The professor said that the
planet could not be seen with the
naked eye or through the telescope.
By close mathematical calculation
he ascertained its exact location and
