THE PRISONERS
 REMAIN MUTE
loNGBAUGH AND HIS CONTAIN ION, LAURA BULLION, WHEN ASKED IF THEY ARE GUILTY, REFUSE TO ANSWER.

St. Louis. November 14.-E. s. Elliott, the Great Northern Express Company of fcial accompanied by Mike O Neill, fire man, and Charming Smith, express mes- senger of the Great Northern train which was robbed near Wagner, Mont, last July, called on United District Attorney Roster today and laid before him all the facts in their possession in connection with the robbery and the suspect under arrest here.
 The district attorney requested Chief of Police Kiely to produce Longbaugh, alias John Arnold" the alleged Montana train robber and his companion, Laura Bull lion, in the federal court this afternoon
 When Judge Adams asked the prisoners
 how they wished to plead to the indict-
 ments, each of which contains sixteen counts charging forgery of notes of the Helena National Bank and having them in their possession illegally, they were silent.
 The question was repeated. It met with stoical silence. Then" said Judge Adams. If you re- fuse to plead I will cause plea of not guilty to be entered in your case. This order was made and the prisoners were taken back to the Four Courts.

INDIAN TERRITORY
 AND OKLAHOMA MAY
 BECOME NEW STATE

Mrs. Rathbun and to this commonwealth to have the identity of this man thor oughly established before released the body. I have no desire to act discour- teously to Coroner Coots, but I do not feel that I could do otherwise under the circumstances than hold the body here.
 Coroner Young said. after the news came that Deputy Sheriff Chichester and Emile Gloeckler had identified the pris- oner at Jeffersonville, Ind, as N. c. Rathbun: If Chichester and Gloeckler came before the jury here and make af- fdavit that the man in prison at Jeffer- sonville is Newell c. Rathbun, will sur- render the body that l now have in cus- tooy. All l want Is positive evidence of Rathbuns Identification. I do not feel that have any right to release the body on mere rumor or newspaper state ment."
 The coroner stated that he had some sworn evidence that the body held here is the body of Rathbun and until 1t was disproved he could not release the re- mains.

HAWAIIANS CALL
 ON THE PRESIDE NJ
STATE THAT LABOR IS VERY SCARCE IN THE ISLAND AND THAT THEY FAVOR INTRODUCE TON OF CHINESE.

Washington, November INV. O.. and R. P. Rithet, citizens of Hawai-, called on the President today to discuss with him the condition of industrial af- fairs in the Hawaiian islands. They said to the President that the Hawaiians gen. esally were strongly opposed to a recipro- city arrangement between the United States and Cuba which would admit su- gar from that island at low customs rate.
 The interests of Hawaians in this re- spect, they declared, are identical with those of the beet sugar growers of the West and the cane sugar producers of the South and they expect to join with them if the matter should come to an issue during the approaching session of Con- gress.
 The delegation subsequently called up on Secretary Gage and discussed with him the labor situation in the Hawaiian islands The sugar plantations they told the Secretary, were becoming less pro- ductive each year because of the plant CTS lnaDlllty tO secure QeSlTdDle ldDOT The solution of the question, as the dele gation viewed 1t, was the free admis- sion to the islands of Chinese at least for a time as they were the best laborers among all those who had been tried on the sugar plantation.
 Representative Long of Kansas, who Is a member of the Ways and Means Com mitte of the House. was one of Pres- ident Roosevelts callers today. He joins with his Eastern colleagues on the com mittee in opposing revision of the tariff He believes that any attempt to lower the duties on particular schedules, such as MT. Babcock proposes, would lead inc vitibly to a general revision of the tariff and this. he says his people do not favor. He says there is. however, strong senti- m ment in his section in favor of reciproci- ty.

Convention of Citizens from Both Territories Appoint Commit
 tees for This Purpose
SINGLE EFORM OF GOVERNMENT
Oppose Admission of Oklahoma With Any Part of Indian Territory Packed On-Two Admit
 ted as a Whole.

Muskogee, I. T., November A.--At to- nights session of the Oklahoma and In- dian Territory single statehood conven- tion resolution was adopted authoriz- ing each territory to select fifteen mem bers, the thirty to constitute a permanent executive committee to raise funds nec- essary for maintaining a delegation of six members, three from each territory at Washington, and another authorizing the chairman to appoint a special com mittee of fifteen from each territory each committee to select three members of the Washington delegation. These special committees were named and the two ter ritories elected a joint executive com mittee.
 The resolution committees report, as adopted, accompanied by perfunctory memorial to Congress, which outlined ex- isting conditions in Doth territories, called attention to the vast resources and insisted on a single form of government. The most important features of the reso- lution. hailed with delight by Indian Territory, were as follows:
 Resolved, That we are opposed to the admission to statehood of Oklahoma with any part of the Indian Territory tackled on and the taking into said state of the Indian Territory by piecemeal but we demand the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as a whole according to their present boundaries.
 Resolved. That we are unalterably opposed to single statehood between Ok lahoma and Indian Territory except on absolute equality in point of representa- ton based upon population.
 That the lands in the Indian Terri. 1 tory be allotted to; the individual In dians of the several tribes irnmediatel, and fee simple titles issued to said lands | and the allottees be allowed to dispose of their lands other than their home. steads without restriction.
 Nearly 300 delegates met here in con- vention today and took the first active step to bring the question of single state hood for Oklahoma and Indian Territ ory before the coming Congress. The dele gates were equally divided between the territories. Great enthusiasm was dis played. The Oklahoma delegates arrived at noon on a special train and were much in advance
 Before the convention met the dele- gates held a caucus and divided the of fees, apportioning the chairman, tempor- ary and permanent, to Indian Territory, and the secretaryships to Oklahoma. w. l.. Hutchins was made temporary chair nan and E. M. Radcliffe of Vinita, perm anent chairman.
 The convention met in the United States courtroom at o'clock. Hon. P. c. West welcomed the delegates, and Col. Roy Hoffman of Chandler responded. Colonel Hoffman delivered a strong argument in favor of single statehood. He referred to the assertion by the opponents of. single statehoods that the movement in that direction was a political move made by the Democrats. This he denied, declaring that the leading Republican papers in Oklahoma had favored the movement in 'avorable editorials.
 After the night session the convention adjourned sine die.

OCTOBER WAS A
 RECORD BREAKER
THE OUTPUT OF IRON WAS 1,4oo,. 900 ToNs-THIS IS IN EXCESS OF ANY PREVIOUS RECORDS IN THE IRON BUSINESS HERE.

New York; November 14-The Iron Age says: ''Our reports from the pig iron manufacturers covering production in October, show that the month was a record breaker The output reached the total of 1,4O0. 900 tons, or at the rate of 16,So0,Ooo tons per annum. The furnaces in blast on November l. had a weekly ca- pacity of 320,S24 tons, based on their act ual yield of October. This is In excess of any previous records. The coke and an thracite furnaces reporting stocks com prising practically all the furnaces mak- ing foundry and forge iron, had only 223 ,0S9 tons on hand November l. against 299,824 tons on October l., which is a re- duction of 76, 735 tons The charcoal fur naces reported a reduction of 11,607 tons in the same time. This Is the heaviest re- duction in stocks made in a single month in long period. and it was made con- currently with great increase in pro- duction. The pig iron situation is strengthened by the great difficulty still experienced in securing coke by reason of the shortage of cars.
 Pig Iron for steel making is In sharr demand. A three thousand lot of Corn wall Bessemer was taken at an advanced price. Basic pig is about 25 cents higher at eastern furnaces, with great deal of business under negotiation. Some large contracts have been placed for steel rails including 55,000 tons by the Baltimore and Ohio; 50,00O tons by the Illinois Gen. tral road. and 10000 tons by the Wabash Railroad companies that have not yet arranged for their next year require ments will not now be able to get orders for summer delivery except for small lots. The important statement Is made that the rail mills of the United States Steel Corporation have their total output for 1902 under contract.
 The American Ship Building Company has contracted for large tonnage of plates for lake vessels. The probabilities now point to a consolidation of several important plate mills in eastern Pennsyl- vania.
 The continued scarcity of steel is shown by a sale of German steel bars for de- livery in December. The price made Is about $29. ex-ship.
 The price of bar iron has been reduced S1 per ton to buyers west of Pittsburg which brings it in line with steel bars.
 A sharp advance has taken place fin pig iron, caused by the demand for spot lots The price is usually %c. Copper wire has been cut 1Ac by one of the leading companies.

THE REBEL YELL" AGAIN FLOATS ON
 MONTGOMERY'S AIR

a member of the committee in an address upon Mormonism in the East. She said further:
 Tt was predicted that in fifty years the Mormons would control a belt of states. cutting the country in two from the northeast to southwest. The predic- tion has been verified in twenty years in- stead of fifty. They own land from the Rocky Mountains to the Sierras and are spreading East as have told you. They control four Western states and at their present rate of progress in a short num- Der of years will have supremacy
 ''If the constitutional amendment mak- ing polygamy crime is not passed now, 1t soon will be impossible to pass it. as they need to acquire control only of twelve states to prevent legislation against it. Two thousand Mormon mis- sionaries are actively pursuing their propaganda work, sixty of them in the State of New York alone"

 There Is reason to believe that con ference of the secret committee held at Dubnitz favored a reduction of the ram som demanded and that, as soon as 1t comes within the range of funds at the disposal of Consul General Dickinson, he Is ready to seal the proposal

CHINESE DRAGON
 IS FULL OF LIFE
EMIL S. FISCHER ADDRESSES THE STUDENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE ON THE CONDITIONS OF CHINA.

New York November 14-Emil s. Fisch- CT. for many years connected with the Dutch-Asiaische Bank of Shanghai. re- gently addressed the students of the School of Commerce, Accounts and Fin ance of the New York University on the commercial and Business Methods of China.
 In introducing the speaker, Dean Has, kins referred to the Chinese problem as one of extreme gravity and complexity I've are scarcely able" he said, ito com prehend the Oriental or Orientalism and the situation is not yet appreciated either in the United States or Great Britain The dragon which many sup pose to be dead is full of vitality and resource"
 MT. Fischer. in his address, said for eign importers confine their business mainly to the treaty ports. MT. Fischer said the inland toll collections, generally known as 'liken." were not considered in the recent negotiations. The difficult ties attending the trans-shipment of for eign merchandise have, therefore, been removed but the advantage which the Chinese have had over foreigners by the use of cheap junk transportation is over- come, because the whole junk trade pass ing through a treaty port Is to be con trolled in the future by the imperial maritime customs.
 MT. Fischer predicts a rapid expansion of American trade in China as a result of the laying of a Pacific cable and the construction of an Isthmian canal Chi ma. he said, will build several thousand miles of railroad in the near future and these will result in great development of Oriental commerce. If American bank ing institutions could establish branches in the East, American trade with China would receive a great stisAaaAsA
