1ule, who was then in charge. gave
orders for us to move. He sent men
down to the camp to light candles in
the tents to make believe that they had
retired into camp. and while this was
going on we were on the move. The

lean Shippers.
Before Great Britain sent an army
exceeding 2OO,O 900 men to South Africa
the local beef supply was wholly IN.
equal to the ordinary demand, and in.
ducements were being offered to Aus
tralia and Argentina to supply the
deficit, says the New York Tribune.
Now, under the extraordinary condi-
likely to continue for some time. the
meat resources Of the United States
are apt to be heavily drawn upon. and
American shippers will find important
information in the report just received
by the state department in Washing
ton from Consul General Stowe at
Cape Town, who writes under date of
Dec. I as follows:
"The recent action Of the prime min
lister Of Cape Colony and Natal in sus
pending the duty on frozen and slaugh-
ter meat, the same being 1 cents per
pound, has thus far conferred no bene-
fit on consumers. particularly those at
a distance from the seaports. and can
not unless the duties on canned meat
are suspended as we'll. Canned meat is
perhaps the most important article of
export from the United States to this
country. The suspension of the duty
on frozen meat should help the export
ers of the United States. but | regret
to say the lack Of ships with cold
storage space prevents us from captur-
ing any Of this great trade. Over
100000 pounds of frozen meat We're
sent to this country in 1898. not a
pound Of which came from the United
States. The expectation of slaughter
stock should be given prompt atten
ton. The consumers not in reach Of
the refrigerator storage plants (Which
are at the seapcrts) obtain no advan-
tage fro" tie cheapening of frozen OF

stock. Australian stock is arriving, as
we'll as shipments from the Argentine
Republic. Not one head Of slaughter
stock or stock on the hoof out Of the
~ III 1000 I'd
from the United States.
Frozen meat from Australia is sold
cheaper than the meat of the colony,
which is rapidly disappearing. even
with the old duty Of 4 cents per pound
in force. The suspension Of the duty
ought to put the price down to a point
that will enable the poorest to supply
themselves. The trade, however, pre-
fers the slaughter stock at this time.
THE act that provided for the sus-
pension Of the duty also provided for
h issue Of loans for cold storage
plants to be built by any one. The sus-
pension Of duty has a limitation. but
the cold storage provision will contin-
ue. The trade in chilled meat is in the
hands OF a monopoly. | wish to call

A GREAT STRIKE
THREATENED
Coal Companies and Miners
are Both Standing Out
Stubbornly.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, September z.
The refusal of the coal companies at
their conference in New York to confer
with the miners only makes the belief
among the people of the Wyoming val
ley the stronger that there viii surely
be strike. The miners will be COM
PEELED to go out now or back down ig-
ANONYMOUSLY.
The demand for coal here is enor-
nous. Every kind of carrying vehicle
is being pressed into service. Those at
the head of large manufacturing plants
are of the opinion that IL strike Is or
dered 1t will be long drawn out affair,
as both sides are stubborn. All kinds
of business Is suffering on account Of
the suspense. Some of the coal COM
panies think that in the event Of q
strike all the men will not go out and
that they will still be able to mine some
coal. This may be true in some dis
tricts In the anthracite region, but not
in the Wyoming district. The men here
are pretty well organized, despite all
reports to the contrary and when the
order to strike Is given there will not
be enough men at work to keep the
pumps running.
Some of the coal companies are maxi
ing use of the columns of the local
press to point out the dire calamity
that will follow n long strike. 1t Is
pointed out that the United Mine
Workers have only $1,000 in their
treasury to sustain a strike and that
| this sum will not keep the strikers and
their families for n week. The total
amount of money paid in wages in the
anthracite region a month now IS IS,
500 coo.
! INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. THE ma
tlonal board of the United Mine Work
ers of America went into close session
at 10 o'clock this morning and took up
the anthracite situation. A general
strike order will probably be issued,
but probably not before tomorrow. It
may be telegraphed to the leaders of
the anthracite miners before being
given out here.
1--WE will certainly issue the order for
general strike" said one of the board
members. 1--WE care little what the
operators have to say as to the inn
pending distress in the wyoming or
other valleys. We are running things
from indianapolis now. The statement
that there will be great distress does
not worry us; we will take care of our
men II they 20 on strike and will not
ask the operators for any financial
aid"
1t was announced to-day that the
large defense fund held by the Illinois
miners cannot be used without the con-
sent of the local unions in that State.
One of the features OF the conference
is the attendance of several prominent
men who are not board members. NJ.
d. Ryan, secretary treasurer of the IL
linols miners. Is on the ground. The
Illinois men have n defense fund of
nearly $500, coo and It Is reported that
Ryan is here to pledge the Illinois or
ganl2aton in behalf of financial sup
port in case n general anthracite strike
is ordered. The Illinois miners defense
fund is the largest ever accumulated by
state organization of coal miners.

GRANTS CHARGES.
William Henry Lynch.


From his earliest boyhood General
Grant was an expert rider, and like
Washington, he possessed mysteri-
GUS power over horses. He ridiculed
the idea that he could be thrown. so
long as the horse kept on his feet. He
asked but one thing Of a steed, and
that was that he should go. No Mexi-
can vaquero, Bedouin sheik or Ameri-
can cowboy had firmer seat, or more
.resembled centaur. Early in the
Mexican war Grant purchased SUI
perb stallion that had just been cap
tured from herd Of wild Texas
horses. He was blindfolded and
then saddled for the first time.
The young lieutenant, springing
lightly into the saddle, ordered
the blindfold removed, when the
untamed steed bounded like bull,
reared, leaped, threw his head almost
to the ground. sprang first to the right
and then to the left In hin rprtslf to
unseat his rider; but findi| ill his

A Polite stranger.

A big, fine-1ooking man sat in the
corner Of Brooklyn car reading his
newspaper. Next to him sat little
woman in an up-to-date frock. She
had a box of candy in one hand and
an opera libretto in the other, says the
New York Telegraph. She tried to
get a newspaper from a newsboy who
came through the car. but the con-
ductor broke up the transaction, and.
selling the small newsdealer, put him
down on the pavement. Then the
pretty woman in the up-to-date frock
paid her fare in pennies and smiled.
The big mans newspaper was spread
out before her eyes, and she glanced at
the headlines. Then she read half a
column about thrilling rescue OF a
typewriter girl by gallant fireman.
She glanced sideways at the big man.
