the country and from almost
every state comes the same story-re-
publican activity and determination to
win by larger majority in the electoral
college than in 1896, and to elect a
majority of the House. With the COM
ing Of republican activity the doubt about
Congress-there has never been any
doubt about the election Of Mckinley
and Acknowledgements like frost in
the morning sunshine. AS in 1896, the
business element of the country is with
the republicans, and no candidate solldly
supported by that element has ever been
defeated. 1t was because this element
refused to recognize the danger that
there was a doubt about Congress, but it
is now thoroughly aroused and working
harder every day, and assured victory is
in the air. The republican majority in
the present House is IS and several re-
publicans from the South are certain to
be succeeded by democrats, owing to
peculiar conditions and laws, but for
every seat lost in the South, the republi-
cans will gain two elsewhere, and their
majority in the next House will be larger
than in the present House.

History of Crime for Which He is
Serving n Life Sentence
Partly Insane.

John NJ. Ross, United States convict, I'M
| der sentence of life Imprisonment for muir
der, has been transferred from the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane to the Albany
penitentiary, from which institution he was
sent to the asylum July % of last year. An
idea permeated Ross mind to the effect
that a residence near to the President of
the United States would aid him in secur-
ing pardon from the chief executive, but
this belief was apparently dissipated, and
for some time prior to the date of sending
him away he was not averse to the idea of
returning to the penitentiary, and even re-
quested the asylum physicians to take such
action.
Ross was given lift over the first stage
OF his return trip, between St. Elizabeths
Asylum and the railroad depot. in a fast
noted by the physicians at the asylum in
the condition of Ross during his term there,
1t is said, that would lead to the belief that
he belonged to the real insane class. At
most he was regarded as weak-minded.
His talk was in the main rational, and his
health was good. So far as can be learned
there is no application for his pardon before
the President.

Lumberman Make Changes.

With the plan formed at their re-
cent meeting the loggers expect TO
work a revolution in their dealings
with lumber jacks this winter. Last
winter and every winter when wages
were high. loggers claim to have lost
money on their contracts through the
uncertainty of the woodsmen. One
logger states that he paid 1900 fares
last winter from Duluth for men to
work in his camp, while he never had
to exceed 100 men working for him at
any one time. The men jumped as
soon as they reached their destinat-
ion and seemed to be bound to work
for anyone except the one that hired
them first. All the loggers felt this
troubles This winter, instead of pay
ing the Gen so much a month and
boarding them, they will pay their
men by the day and charge board.
When they do not stay out a full
month their wages will be less. In
this manner loggers expect to reduce
the cost of logging and keep the ir
men at work.

The Coal Question.

The question of hard coal at the
head of the lakes is beginning to as
sumo serious proportions. Not a
pound of anthracite coal has come ur
the lake to Duluth since the early
part of September. One of the coal
companies, directly after the strike,
received a few cargoes of soft coal. but
this was some that had been shipped
from Buffalo. There is dock capacity
for about 400, 900 tons of hard coal at
the head of the lakes. but as near as
can be estimated there is now only
from 225 900 to 100000 tons of that
fuel on the docks at Duluth. Ship
ments of the same out of the city
have been in small quantities, and
for immediate delivery. The coal
companies have kept close tab on the
stocks. and reports have been made
daily of the amounts sold. whether a
half ton or two tons.
Another feature in the coal stu
alton that is not at all agreeable To
the consumer is the prospect that
there will be no reduction in the price
of hard coal, even if the strike were
settled today or tomorrow. Some of
the coal men will admit this. 1t is
rapidly nearing the closing of the
season now, and with a
speedy settlement of the strike it is
said that it would be some time be-
fore shipments to the head of the lake
in appreciate quantities would be
made and high rail rate would pre-
clude the idea of coal sales at less
than its present high figure.

inside the next sixty days. 1t is be-
lieved that the Ontario & Rainy

Port Arthur and Athabasca by Dec.
and the company will have trains
running over it. The mining inter
ests in the region opened by this new
road are confident of season of great
activity IN Rainy Lake mining circles
with the completion of the road.
Rainy flake is said to have raised
over three feet in the past month and
can easily be navigated by larger craft
now. During midsummer the lake
was so low that it was almost impOs-
ible to find channel for the steamer
that is used on the lake.
