ing great difficulty in having their goods
hauled, owing to the strike of the teams
tiers, which was recently inaugurdted 1t
is estimated that $500 teamsters have left
their work, and it is thought this number
will be greatly added to during the next
few days, owing, it is said, to the fact that
the employers are determined not to Weld
point to the striking men. If the strike
continues other branches of labor will be
affected. The porters will go out and
longshoremen will refuse to handle goods
for nonunion drivers or for firms employ
ing nonunion men. 1t is generally beiev-
ed that there will be general tieup of
wholesale and retail business.

From Firemen's Headunart.r..

Willkesbarre, Pa, July 22-The
stationary firemens strike viii soon
be at an end. AT meeting of tho
executive officers of the United Mine
workers and the officers of the fire
mems order, the firemen insisted thar
the mine workers define their uosi.
ton definitely once for all. as il was
impossible to carry on the strike il
the United Mine workers opposed IL.
With that object in view the execu.
tive officers of the mine workers
agreed to come to this city and meet
the strikers. The United Mine work.
ers were represented by 26 officers
of the three districts. The Stationary
Firemen's association was represent.
ed by j. f. Mullahey, president of the
association; Thomas Barrett, vice
president; j. A. Gerrity, secretary;
Brodus Langdon and j. f. Wade.
T. ID. Nichols, president of District
No. Ia opened the discussion. He
said the strike was inopportune at
this time. 1t was detrimental to the
miners. who were under agreement
!
work for one year and if the United
Mine workers remained out it would
mean the sacrifice of the good will
of the coal operators.
President Fahey of the Ninth dis
trict, also spoke against the strike.
He claimed the strike was inoppor-
tune and that his men were opposed

enth district. said the firemen in his
district did not go out on strike. This
showed lack of unity and the strike
could not succeed.
The following official statement
was issued from firemen's headquar-
ters tonight;
after the officers of the three dis.
tricts of the United Mine Workers
defined the attitude they contemplate
ed assuming toward the firemen
should their strike continue we
thought that it would be to the in
terest of all concerned to bring 1t to
a speedy termination and in conse-
quence thereof we made PROPOSE
tions to them which were adopted,
after which we instructed the firemen
to pursue all honorable means to
have their positions returned. Al
though the strike is not yet declared
off until after the answers are receiv-
ed from their employers, yet it seems
to be the prevailing opinion that
should they be favorable the action
of the delegates Monday evening
will end the strike. But should any
one now out of employment on the
ground of the strike be Disseminated
against the end would be as far off as
ever The fremen are determined to
stand by those who sacrificed their
positions before they would take our
places. All of the firemen who are
still at work shall remain until after
this convention.

THE GERMAN PAPER TRADE.
sudden ana Unexplained Rise in the
Price of the Product,

The existing panic in the German paper
trade and the present high prices of paper
especially printing paper, principally af-
fect the newspaper publishers who cannot
transfer at a moments notice the rise in
price Of about 40 per cent to the Shout,
ders of the general public. So states United
states Consul Moore at Weimar in re-
cent communication to the Department Of
state. That there was no real ground for
the enormous rise, says the consul. IS
evidenced by the fact that the paper manu-
factories have declared most satisfactory
dividends during the last few years.
Consul Moore presents statistics intended
to show that the German paper trade is
not in bad condition. In a comparison of
the imports of paper into Germany during
the first three-quarters Of 1900, as COM
pared with the same period Of the preced-
ing year, an increase of 95 per cent in
quantity and 81 In value Is shown. The
exports for the same periods show an in
crease or 400 in quantity and 1872 per cent
III value. The difference between the two
percentages, says the consul, may find
explanation in the fact that the most es-
sential kinds of paper have shown a great
er Increase in export, and that perhaps
the present higher prices were not taken
view of the high prices Of printing paper
says Consul Moore, there seems to be a
tendency to make corresponding increase
In the subscription prices of newspapers in
Germany. The present German import
duty on paper is $3.50 per ton. The manu-
facturers are said to wish this duty en-
tirely abolished. Should they prevail, con-
cludes Consul Moore, a splendid field would
be opened up for the United States paper
manufacturers.

1t Is not the interest of The United States

WHAT ARMY OFFICERS EAT.
Great Variety of Food Dispensed b!
the COmmissary Department.

From the Saturday Esening Post
No one outside of the army has any idea
of the variety of commissary articles which
are carried in the subsistence storehouses
at army posts. The present extensive
stock is a gradual growth since 1866, when
the old army sutler was supplanted by
the post trader, who in turn was driven out
Of the service by an exposure of currup-
tion and collision which involved even the
wife Of cabinet officer and dragged the
latter into retirement.
The post trader carried a few articles
which he sold to officers and men at ex-
orbitant prices, and one of the choice gov
eminent snaps" was post leadership,
for which men were willing to pay large
sums that they might have the protec-
ton and license of the government in rob-
hing the helpless army officers and SOL
diers of remote frontier garisons. The
variety of the post traders stock was as
limited as its quality was Indifferent
When the post trader was banished the
subsistence department of the army ex-
tended its system so as to embrace some
thing besides the ration which it purchas-
ed and issued TO troops. 1t began to keep
such articles as smoked fish, srups, can
ned oysters and Holsters, Jellies, jams,
flour, hams coffee, candles and salt. The
list was a meager one, but II was the be-
ginning of an elaborate system and an ex-
tensive stock. The department has i'm
proved Its supplies year by year, keeping
in mind the needs and the desires Of the
enlisted men, the officers and their fam
lilies. These supplies are outside the reg
ular ration and are sold at contract prices
even to officers and men on the retired list,
provided they certify that the supplies are
intended for their own consumption.
In the list of foods there are now all
kinds of canned and evaporated fruits.

A Visit to NagasakI.

Nagasakf is beautiful port and will be
more so, for the japanese government is
very progressive and had several thousand
men and women engaged on public works
of various kinds when l was there The
main industry of Nagasaki is coalng boats
and the harbor is always crowded with
steamers for that most necessary purpose
The coal is mined few miles away and Is
without a doubt the best revenue producer
that Japan has.
The first novel sight in Nagasaki to meet
the strangers gaze, after the dignified lit
tie officials have visited the ship, Is the
coaling, which Is Immediately commenced
This is done mainly by women, girls men
and boys. Some of the children who work
hard gathering and distributing the coal
baskets are not over five years of age. Nine
out of ten of the coalerS are girls, many of
them being quite comely. They come in
large boat loads, singing and laughing, and
joke with each other all day long. They are
certainly a happy go-lucky crowd, with
never q care in evidence. Their Bingham
dresses are clean when they start in, but
are a sight within an hour. They all have
beautiful hair, wonderfully done up which
they carefully keep covered by cloths while
at work. l noticed them uncover their
heads after hard days work, which were
not disarranged by their labor and were fit
for reception.
The girls generally cover their faces with
some kind of chalk. so the coal won't spoil
their compilations, giving them the appear
ance of ghosts. Having been accustomed
to working alongside of the opposite sex all
their lives, they have a very vague idea of
the word modesty. They leased us unmerci-
fully to our faces, so that we were forced
to beat retreat. These poor laborers do
, NOT average % cents a day, yet they are
happy and contented. hope they will al
ways be SO, and l also hope that they will
always be free from labor agitation to tell
