HAS BEEN MAKING FINE TIME
Welcome for Capt. Streckfus-.
Lambs New Launch Visits
the City.

Quincy, Ill, June 2S.-To The AR
GUS, Rock Island, ILL.,: The new
steamer j. 8. will reach Rock Island
tomorrow morning.
b. WOODRUFF.
Ii was at first announced that the
new boat would arrive at the local
port tonight and plans were under
way to give her and her genial COM
mander warm reception both here
and at Davenport. The steamer has
been making EXCELLENT time since
leaving Jacksonville, Ind, where
she was built, and the Enthusiastic
guests aboard have been expecting
too much of her in booking her for
arrival tonight. The j. is said to
be one Of the handsomest boats that
ever travelled this part of the Missis-
sippi. She will be run opposite to the
Winona in the Rock Island-Clinton
trade.
A member of the party wrote the
following to friends:
Steamer j. S. left Jeffersonville,
Ind. at 6:15 p. m. Monday evening,
stopping at New Albany, which port
was left about 8 p. m. Made run
from New Albany to Cairo, about
four hundred and twenty-five miles,
without a stop in q hours. which
shows speed boat is capable Of max
ing. Capt. Streckfus has not pushed
boat to its full speed at any time.
The machinery runs smoothly and
there has not been the slightest hitch
of any kind. Have never seen new
engines perform their work more
beautifully. Passed Evansville about
$3.50 Tuesday morning. All the steam
ers in port there blew a steam salute
in which most of the factory whistles
joined and il the sound was not heard
in the tri-cities it was because the
wind was in the wrong direction. The
j. S. was making about seventeen
miles an hour when it passed Evans
vile aud thousands gazed in wonder
at the marvellous speed and the mag
niicent steamer.
1.-The trip has been most delightful
and Capt. and Mrs. Streckfus have
proven themselves royal hosts. Our
every wish is anticipated and If the
rest of the trip is not full of pleasure
and enjoyment it is or will be our
own fault. Leaving Cairo we do not
expect to make n landing until we
reach St. Louis"

Lantz hotel in this city. Commander
Brown made sail ont OF mis- sailors

into the rigging, where by the force
of the wind against their bodies, his

from shipwreck. Commander Brown

CATION at the American states confer
ence in the City of Mexico. Being .
brother-in-law Of Senator Elkins and
an enthusiastic Republican, as we'll
ms man well verse in public mat
tiers, the intimation coming from
Commander Brown in regard to the
selection OF Congressman A. g. Day
ton as secretary OF the navy carries
much weight with 1T. Commander
Brown was born and reared at Nor
gantown and has been there on a
visit. The writer had long talk
with Commander Brown and he mem
toned several topics of great interest
to West virginians, as we'll as to
others.
In speaking of naval matters. Com
mander Brown said he had no doubt
but that Secretary Long Of the navy
was DESTROYS of resiRning his port
folio Owing to family affiicition and
the great expense OF being cabinet
officer. he wants to return to his
lucrative practice as one OF the lead-
ing lawye- OF New England.
I'm case Of his resi0nat ion. which
seemed probaie, 1t naturally occurs to
navy people to think about his sue
cessor. As the president has just APP
pointed Judge Darling from Vermont
as assistant secretary. 1t would seem
that he intends to select either vest
er or southern man as secretary OF the
navy.
Com mander Brown thinks that as
West Virginia has man who prob
ably knows more about the navy than
any other man in public life, 1t would
seem that West virginians ought to
all unite in favor of the selection OF
Aston g. Dayton forsssecretarv OF
the navy. because Of his great service
ON the naval committee for the last
twelve years and especially his carrv-
ing through congress what is officially
known as the personnel bill. but which

leads one to believe that Mr.. Dayton
as secretary of tho savy would be q
graceful recognition of West Virginia,
as well as the whole south.

Scranton, Pa. Nov. IAN order

sued at o'clock yesterday afternoon
from the headquarters of District No.
/, United Mine Workers OF America.
The order is addressed to the presi-
dents of the local unions at the col
lieries affected, and reads as follows:
Scranton, Pa, November 6, 1901.
Dear Sirs and Brothers-The OFF,
GERS of the Temple Iron company, at
the Mt. Lookout, Harry e. and Forty
Fort colieries have discharged about
80 OF our members because they had
been working at the Maltby colliery
Of the Lehigh Valley company. which
has been on strike for about three
months, and the latter company hav-
ing furnished the officials of the Tenn
pie company with list of names and
asked for the discharge OF those whose
names were on the list. Your officers
were refused conference with the
manager of the Temple company, and
instructed the local committee to see
him and ask for the reinstatement Of
all. The committee failed to see him,
and laid the case again before the SUI
perintendent. who could give them no
satisfaction, except to say that all
those who were hired with the knowl-
edge that they were men from the
Maltby mine would be reinstated; but
those who were hired without know
ing where they were from would not
be reinstated.
"The executive board met on Sat
uraay. the I'd inst. and decided that
IL all the men were not reinstated by
Wednesday an order calling for gen.
eral strike of the Temple Iron com
pany's collieries would be issued. and
the local committee OF Mt. Lookout
were instructed to inform Manager
Thorn to that effect.
Therefore, failing to have the men
reinstated, you are hereby notified
and authorized by the executive board
to suspend work on Monday, Novem-
Der II, and remain idle until all men
have been reinstated and you are noti-
fed to resume work.

Hoped For Settlement.
wilkesbaire, Pa, NOV. THE en-
ployes OF the three collieries of the
Temple CoaI and Iron company, in
the Wyoming region. took action on
the question of strike today. They
had hoped that the company would
grant the demands of their employees
rather than have a prolonged lockout
1t Is said that the company will not
make any concessions. 1t is under
stood that orders were issued by the
division superintendent to close the
collieries in this region for repairs.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Harrisburg, Nov. 7.--While the Re-
pubncans carried the state OF Penn
sylvania by handsome majority, the
feature of the election was the i'm
mense drop in the size of the usual
plurality. Whereas the usual figure
has been 10000, the result of Tues
days vote shows that William p.
Potter won by margin of 1899 in
his fight for judge of the supreme
court. Frank G. Harris was elected
state treasurer and incidentally given
vote of greater confidence. with a
plurality of $3.50.
The vote was considerably reduced
over that of two years ago as to to-
tails, and shows peculiarities that will
be more apparent as the final figures
are corrected. The Fusion ticket ran
behind in counties where it would nat
urally be expected to show at its
best, and developed surprising
strength in some sections where it
was least looked for.
Philadelphia figured to not small
extent in determining the verdict of
the polls. Potter came down to the
Philadelphia county line with only
about 1000 plurality, and had the
latter district polled Fusion victory
he would undoubtedly have gone down
to defeat
The vote in nearly all the interior
counties has been remarkably light.
