South Carolina last year made 20,-
100000 pounds of tobacco and an
English firm which handled a total
of 3O,OOO,0O0 pounds say their best
hogshead of tobacco came from South
Carolina. This is encouraging news.
Small detachments of Beers still

INDIANAPOLIS, January 28.-By an
overwhelming vote the United Mine
Workers of America to-day decided to
hold their next annual convention in
this city for the third consecutive year.
In secret session the scale committee S
report was discussed at length to-day.
So far the convention has adopted
the proposition for ten cent fiat in
crease.
The report of the committee also de-
manded that the run-Of-mine system be
contended for in the entire compe5i-
tive district, which comprises Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and
that the differential of seven cents be-
tween hand and machine mining be
insisted on. There is likely to be a
lively discussion in the joint confer
ence with the operators at Columbus
over these matters.
1t was announced to-day that all the
old members Of the executive board,
with the exception of Henry Stephen
/ son, of West Virginia, were reelected.
John Fahy, of Pennsylvania, takes his
place. Joseph Pope was elected a
member of both the auditing and ere
/ dentials committee and would have
Withdrawn from one of the positions
had the convention permitted it.

Prisoner.
NEW YORK January 2S-The
Journal and Advertiser contains long
dictated statement from Charles w.
F. Nicely, the accused postal Official
who has just been taken to Cuba for
trial. In the course of this Nicely
describes in detail how after an issue
of stamps had been made for the Gu
ban service, the surcharged stamps
were destroyed. For the purpose of
conducting the destruction Director
General Rathbone appointed COM
mission, ne says, composed of him
self (Neely), Auditor Reeves, Of the
registry division; and MARRIED., an
Ohioan. 1t has been alleged that
Nicely stole many thousand dollars
worth of stamps by burning in their
place packages of waste paper. In
reference to this charge Nicely says
about these stamps
THE man who says they were not
destroyed, or who says that l said the
packages contained only brown paper,
tells a damnable- lie Save for one or
two packages they were in their orig
inal form, the seal of the department
was unbroken, and if they contained
only brown paper the fraud was COM
united in Washington before the
stamps were shipped to Cuba
Further on Nicely says:
Had | been DESTROYS of stealing
from the government why did l not
steal when there was a chance for me
to steal something worth while? |
had plenty of opportunities to do so.
On one occasion l could have pocketed
over a million dollars.
ION one of my trips to the states,
made on official business, ! brought
with me on the transport over $780,
600 in gold. l had at the same time
in my pockets certificates of deposit
made out in my name and individual
capacity on the Seventh National
bank, the government depository for
postoffice funds, for over $500, 600.
That made over 81 100000 that was as
completely in my possession as though
it We're my own
Nicely made his statement in the fol-
lowing words;
"The wild stories of eXtravagant
speculation on my part while in Cuba
are all the purest fiction.
THAT / made money while in Cuba
l have never denied. But | made 1t
legitimateIy and it was the product of
the private funds which l took to
Cuba with me.
"My innocence can be proved but l
never expect to be able to prove it.
The opportunity will not be given me
and l am prepared to be sacrificed.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 2S.-The
Pittsburg coal operators will be well
represented at the Interstate joint
conference on the wage scale which
will open in Columbus on Tuesday.
Chairman F. r. Robbins, president
M. Osborne and general superintend-
ent George w. Schluederberg will re-
present the Pittsburg coal company,
the railroad coal combination, and w.
B. Rodgers and o. A. Blackburn, the
MonOngahela river consolidated coal

bination. Several of the Independent
coal operators will also be present at
the conference. Officials of the two
combinations decline to express an
opinion on the new scale prepared at
the miners convention now in session
at indianapolis and also as to what
/ demands will likely be made by the
operators An individual operator
said he does not believe that the con-
ditions will warrant the radical
changes to be demanded by the miners
and favors a continuance of the pres
ent scale.
