PLANS FOR
EXECUTION
How the Assassin
Will Go
.TWENTY-SIX PERSONS
TO SEE ELECTROCUTION
Prisoner Has Not Collapsed;
CzOlgOsz Gets Presents
FrOm CrankS
GBy Asserted ftvss.l

A,cany N. ", Oct. 17.-Supt. Cor
neiins V. Colliat win send request
TO Secretary OF State Hay to designate
an official representative of the gov
ernment to be present at the electro
cution of Leon F. Czolgosz. the muir
derer Of President Mckinley.
Only twenty-six witnesses will be
present in the chamber of death when
the sentence is executed. Warden
Mead, Of Auburn prison, has sent to
Supt. Collins the requests he has re-
ceived for permission to attend the
electrocution, over 1000 in all. The
law will limit the number of witnesses.
and the superintendent will decide
who the witnesses shall be.
1t was stated at the state depart
ment of prisons today that statements
to the effect that Czolgosz is in a con
tinuous state of collapse, and he
breaks down and weeps every time
anything is said to him concerning
the electrocuiion, are false. Supt
Collins had talk with the condemned
man some days ago, and at that time
he said he knew he had to die. He
expressed no fear as to the electrocu-
tion, but said that he would not care
to go outside Of the prison, for ne be-
lieved that the people would kill him.
Since his confinement in Auburn
prison several thousand letters have
been received ftr him at the prison,
as well as a large number of express
packages containing flowers and fruit.
The letters, flowers and fruit have
never reached the condemned man.
The flowers and fruit, It is learned,
have been sent by Christian societies,
az have a number of letters, consollng
him in his last moments. Other let
ters have ccme from cranks, VINO have
written about the species of torture
to which they would put him If they
had the execution of justice in his
case. 1t is stated. however, that it
would be a matter OF surprise if the
names of sendeis Of fruit and flowers
were made public.
The state prison department has
pursued a uniform policy in regard to
Czolgosz. An effort has been made TO
prevent the murderer from gaining
any notoriety while awaiting death,
and surround him by as p rfect an iso
lation from the void as possible.

CHE Anthracite Coal Crisis.

An article in the April Atlantic by
Talcott Williams throws light upon
the real causes of the threatened strike
in the Pennsylvania coal fields. This
writer shows that strikes are often
the result of intense competition.
Every new machine and every shifting
of trade has in it the possibilities of
strikes in the industries affected
Thus the invasion Of England by
American steel products is likely to
produce labor troubles in English steel
mills. 1t is a change of this kind
that has forced the anthracite mine
owners and their employees into a state
constantly bordering on conflict. For
the first time both sides are now thor
oughly organized and each feels the
pressure of conditions which seem to
it uncomfortable.
The real cause of the anthracite
troubles is the increasing competition
of bituminous coal. From 1910 to 1860
the annual output of each OF the two
kinds of coal was practically the
same. By 1870 the anthracite had
forged ahead of its rival in the proper
ton of 100000 tons to 100000 OF
soft coal. Anthracite had everything
in its favor and the iron of the coun-
try was made with this kind of COAL
Miners got good wages and capital
made large dividends. Then the capt.
talists did as they usually do in such
cases-they watered their stock.
Between 1870 and 1880 the capital
engaged in anthracite increased from
$50 600, 900 to s154,OOO,0OO. Yet during
the same period bituminous coal sud
denly leaped far ahead of anthracite.
in 1880 the hard coal output was 49,
000,0 tons, while the soft coal was
nearly $4,000, 900 tons. The use of coke
had been discovered, and the iron in
dustries had begun to substitute btu
minous for anthracite coal. The an
thracite interests thus found them
selves heavily overeapitalized and face
to face with strong and unexpected
competition. Their decline dates from
that time. In the last twenty years
the anthracite output has doubled, but
that of bituminous coal has quad
rupled. The Pennsylvania owners
sought to save themselves by employ
ing cheaper and less Intelligent labor.
They scaled down wages through the
company store. high price for pow
der, and various devices for mulcting
the miner in Weighing his output
Strikes followed inevitably.
These conditions are still pressing

A Good American Plan.

An English shipbuilder says that
British shipbuilders are able to get
American steel at from 81 to 81 less
a ton than the same steel is sold for on
this side Of the Atlantic. Adherence
on the part of the American manufact-
urers to this policy of asking a high
price at home and a lower price abroad
will, he says, keep up the price of ships
built in this country and keep down
the price of those built in Great Bri-
tain. There is no doubt that American
shipbuilders have been made to pay
excessive prices for steel. The benefit
of the great reduction in the cost of
manufacture of that metal in this
country has not been enjoyed by them
as it has been enjoyed by men in the
same business in a foreign country
If the United States Steel company
were to add the building of steel and
iron ships to the industries it is to be
engaged in it could turn out such ships
for use in the foreign or coasting trade
at prices which would defy competi-
ton. If the company were to build
ships and sell them at reasonable
figure Americans would buy and use
them to carry on trade with foreign
countries.

CHAPTER III.

Nevertheless, as the party progressed
from room to room, silence fell over
them ala nameless weight seemed to
rest upon every heart. Mrs. Cowley
looked really i'll, Catharine was very
pale, Rose ceased to laugh and jest,
and even Mr.. Cowley pursued his IN
vestigations in a nervous, fidgety way,
as If he was i'll at ease.
Did you ever visit an empty house,
dear reader, BY yourself? A lonely
country cottage, for instance, with no
evil tale hanging over 1t like dark
cloud-nothing to mar its beauty
nothing to take from its aspect OF
home and peaceful repose? Passing
from room to room, with the bunch OF
keys dangling from your hand, did you
not begin to feel that something I'M
seen. but not unfelt. was bearing you
company-something that opened the
doors and looked out Of the windows
and pointed at the corners of the apart
ments as if to illustrate story which
YOU also felt, but did not hear? Did
not that unseen companion become al
most too real-almost visible at the
last, and actually drive you from the
place-not frightened-not nervous
oh, no!-only with pale lips and hur-
ried steps and hand that shook lit
tie as it gave the keys back in the
agents office, and wrote down the di-
rection to which the agent might ap-
ply.
All this, and more than this, did the
party at the Hall experience Some
thing-nay, more than one something
was beside them. No one spoke of the
presence, yet all were conscious of it,
though they tried to laugh it off, even
in the recesses of their own minds.

away. But no one came. All was
still and quiet. They stood within a
small, square hall, very dusty ana
dirty and lighted only by the fanlight
over the door. A worn mat covered
the floor, there was small iron stove
in the center of the hall, and, leaning
against it a curiously carved walking
stick, resembling the wand OF magl-
clan rather than the ordinary cane OF
gentleman in the nineteenth century.
Rose took this in her hand, but quickly
laid it down. 1t did not seem 'cahhy
to hold it, though why she could not
say.
Mr.. Cowley rubbed his head, felt MS
nose carefully all over, and pronounced
himself quite sound.
"What made me fall, cannot tell,
he remarked. at really seemed as IL
the door was jerked from my hand by
some person inside. Do you know, my
dear, ] incline to the opinion that some
evil-disposed person has harbored mere

perfect safety. For aught we Know
such a person may be within hearing
now"
Mrs. Cowley gave little Shrek.
"Then we are all safe to be robbed
and murdered! Dear George, do let us
leave this place and get home as soon
as possible!"
Nonsense. my dear; don't interrupt
me, if you please! Robbed and MUIR
dered, indeed! Is that likely while you
have me to protect you? merely
made that remark as warning In case
such a person should be concealed
here. I recommend that person not 10

and I add for his further information
that | shall sleep here with a revolver

he begins any of his tricks upon trav-
elers, I'll give him pepper, by Jove!
Now. Mrs c., come along and look al
the rooms"
Trembling and disguised. the gooc
lady followed her truculent spouse, as
he opened door after door within the
mansion. The rooms were all darf
and dingy, it is true, but they had mgr
ceilings and plenty of windows witt
pleasant aspects. Soap and water, ant
afterwards pretty curtains and brigh
furniture, a piano, and few pictures
would make quite another place OF 1t

struck him repeatedly over the head
with heavy cane until he fell uncon-
scious. Friends of Mr.. Brooks from
the South accompanied him, and, with
drawn revolvers, prevented the other
senators from protecting Mr.. Sumner
from the brutal assault. Afterwards,
during a debate in the lower house Oh
Congress, hot words. passed between
Brooks and Arson Burlingame OF
Massachusetts, as result of which the
latter was challenged to fight duel.
He accepted, and Canada was CHOSEN
as the place of meeting, with rifles as
weapons. Brooks failed to appear at
the appointed time, and was Dranoeu
as coward by newspapers and puDilc
sentiment throughout the North. AS q
result he resigned his seat, but was
unanimously reelected and received
many testimonials from various parts
of the South.

upon the mine-owners with increasing
force. says the Chicago Tribune. In
the flush days of thirty years ago the
shafts were only 400 or 600 feet deep.
Now they are thrice that depth, and
it costs much more to bring each ton
to the surface. The steel industries
were formerly confined to the East,
near the anthracite mines. Now the
cheap Western ore and cheap bitumln-
Gus coal are steadily drawing the iron
industries toward the West. The over
capitalized anthracite industries have
increasing difficulty in making divi-
dends. The result is an imminent dan
ger of serious disturbances, yet, as
Mr. Williams says, the danger from
a further deterioration of labor and
wages would be still worse.

imparting such high speed to the car
by causing it to descend steep grade
that when it changes its course as it
does in passing through the vertical
loop of track, the center of gravity
will tend toward the bottom of the
car, thus forcing every rider more
firmly into his seat. The passage
through the loops is accomplished so
quickly that it is hardly realized, and
then the car proceeds with the less
exciting portion of its journey. The
car takes on its load in the position
shown, and the cable elevates it to the
top Of the steep incline. with the pass
