ANOTHER CRISIS.
Coal Strike May Suspend New
York City's Public Schools.

The board of aldermen of New York
in special session have adopted reso-
luton urging Governor Stone to call
an extraordinary session of the legis'
lature of Pennsylvania to consider
measures to insure the immediate and
full operation of the coal mines. A
resolution was also adopted, calling
upon the mayor of New York to take
steps to adopt measures to alleviate all
hardships to the poor of the city re-
sulting from the scarcity of coal. AL
derman Mccall said:
81 hereby give notice that il the
coal strike is not settled before the
cold weather comes shall offer a res
olution that the public schools be
closed. am informed that the board
of education spends annually from So, :
900, 900 to 100000 for coal. If the
very grave situation that now appears
inevitable shall develop [ shall ask
this body to request the board of edu-
cation to close the public schools and
to distribute that coal among the
worthy poor of the CITY,"
Bids were to have been opened by
Commissioner Hawkes., of the dock de-
partment, for 1000 tons of anthracite
today, but no bids were received.
For ten days the fire department has
been advertising in The City Record
for bids for 500 tons of anthracite coal.
The bids were to have been opened
this morning, but not single bid was
heard from.

UNCLE SANS QUEER TREASURY GUARDIANS.

vigorous resistance, and by the vicious
use of their long claws. The cats in
the treasury department are not like
the petted -felines of the household.
They are long and thin, with tails
which look like d frayed clotheslines,
and are not very we'll provided with
fur.
It is only when being fed by the
kind hearted watchmen with scraps of
meat from their midnight dinner that
the cats exhibit any traits IN common
with their brethren of the back fence.
Then they will graciously permit their
backs to be stroked and their whiskers
rubbed, but any further liberties will
not be tolerated. They have deep,
cunning leer always on tap, as if they
knew all the secrets of the gold-pack-
ed vaults stretching under the build
ing.
AS TO their ability to keep the treas
ury free from rats there is no question.
The officials of the department have
not been compelled to move to another
on account OF the large num-
Der of rats and mice which infested
it, as did the authorities in charge of
the postoffice at Turin, Italy, where it
became necessary to erect new
building for the purpose Of escaping
from the rodents, who destroyed great
quantities. of letters and packages.
The important letters and documents
in the possession of the file room of
the treasury department would not
Withstand the ravages of the hungry
hordes of these animals if it were not
for the keen watch kept upon them by
these cats.

The United States treasury building
in Washington is not only guarded
from loss by the uniformed men who
constitute the night watch and remain
on duty through the lonely hours,
keeping a constant lookout for any
persons who might have designs on
the numerous strong boxes in the
building, but it is protected from
smaller losses through the depreda-
tions of hordes of rats and mice which
would iufest the structure by few
cats which have wandered into the
building at various times and remain
ed there.
How these animals obtained an en-
trance into the building is a conject-
ure, but it is thought that they made
their way through the windows or
through the doors when the attention
of the clerks and employees had been
diverted to more important matters
than the eiectment of stray feiines.
There were at one time twenty.seyen
OF these animals In the tr easury, but
of late they have thinn ed out and only
a few remain. They are rarely seen
in the day time, for they are deep in
some dark recess which offers shelter
to them uutil the evening. The cats
are seldom disturbed, except possibly
by the brooms of the charwomen, of
whom the cats stand in fear, for there
is no mercy at the end of long broom
or longer mop. The fear OF the
charwomen tends TO make them timid

ers, and TO attempt to pick one of

house conference when it was seen
that no agreement could be brought
about, and there was an exceedingly
sensational hour in the presidents
room. The coal trust men ridiculed
the Pennsylvania officials and military
for not suppressing the disturbances
N the mining regions, and plainly told
President Roosevelt that it was his
duty to send the federal troops to that
state to restore and enable, as they
claim, employees of the mines TO return
to their work without being assaulted
and murdered by alleged strikers.
1t is known that President Roosevelt
was furious. and that he expresses the
greatest alarm over the situation, now
that even he, the highest official of the
government, has failed to bring the
coal operators and the strikers togeth.
er. Never before has a president of
the United States attempted to inter-
fere Ia dispute of this kind, and
many OF the warm friends of Roosevelt
and his political supporters declare
that he has made a tremendous blum
der in meddling with the situation, es-
peciallY as he has failed utterly TO
bring about satisfactory results, and as
his failure must inevitably result in a
continuation of the great strike with
all its terrible consequences.
Politicians of every party say that
the president must now stand in the
light of his defeat, and that he has
raised new issue in the great trouble
that of federal interference. The
coal barons have demanded a dispatch
of federal troops to the coal regions,
and Roosevelt must now be responsible
for any disorder that may take place
in PENNSYLVANIA, as the coal officials
have declared that the Pennsylvania
STATE officials and militia have utterly
failed to maintain order.
In short, the situation from an eco.
nomic. industrial and political stand
point is alarming in the extreme, and
with no prospect ahead of bringing
about settlement of the strike, but
on the other hand every prospect of
strife, and possibly disorder,
rioting and suffering, there is indeed
cause for alarm in the situation.

ONE MANS cARELEssNESs.
Caused the Loss of a Cool Mill
ion in Texas Oil Fields.

Experts are trying to form esti-
mates of the loss and the number OF
wells destroyed by the recent FIRE in
the Texas oil field. From thiPty-five to
eightylderricks were destroyed, bat ac-
counts differ as to the number, and the
exact total will not be known for sew
eral days.
Thomas RowleY, an emDlOye of Brice
& Co., was probably fatally burned
while working at the top of derrick.
The estimates of the loss vary from
500, 900 to $3.50, 200.
The fire was started by man who
blew out a lantern over one of the
large wells.

flthiest place in the world.
THE MILITARY FORCE.

~ occupied myself for sometime in
looking up the numerical force of mill
tary Hayti. l could find no exact sta
tistics of later date than 1867. when
there were $500 generals of division,
1000 regimental officers and $500 pri'
Yates. At this computation the troops
commanded by each general of divis'
ion consisted of one private and ont
regimental officer and One-sixteenth OF
regimental officer. An urban gener-
al is in most cases but a name, where
as his congener of the country is usu-
ally living power. Under his fierce
rule the commune bows to the rigor of
the law, the peasantry cannot be said
to prosper, but at least they are inof-
fensive and polite. The reason is not
far to seek. The black man can no
more govern his black brother sue
cessfully without tyranny than you can
reach a blind mans sense without
touch or speech. No appeal is made
to his reason; he is cOerced by solid
fear. Hear him pray and YOU will uu-
derstaud him better. He does not sup
plicate his God; he demands of his
God: he essays to bargain. This is be-
cause his deity is far away out OF
sight; therefore in relation to that un-
felt power he begins to esteem himself
and his desires and to be pulled up out
of all due proportions. Whereas the
grip OF his generals iron hand is I'M
mistakably evident over all the hours
of his daily life.
VAUDOUX WORSHIP.
sin Hayti the nominal religion is
Roman Catholicism, but it is no more
than thin veneer: beneath you find
not traces merely, but solid ground
work of west African superstition, SER
pent worship and child sacrifice.
The evil of VaudOux, worship is
widespread. The government has
been at all times too unstable to care
to take the risk of seriously opposing
so powerful a com oination. The sect
is universally feared, hence they carry
on their rites and their orgies with
practical impunity. At the root OF
this outgrowth of superstition are the
papalols and mamalois, the priests and
priestesseS.
"Vaudoux, according to its more
elect disciples, is an all-powerf0l del
ty. but the idea of the masses does not
rise above the serpent, which repre-
sents to them their god, and which
presides, In it's box, over all their SER
vices. These usually take place at
night and in pseudo secrecy. They
consist of dancing, sacrificing, feast
ing. iuvocations aud a Delphic delir'
ium on she part of manaloi, winding
I'D with scenes of an indescribable ma
ture. There are said to be two sects
of Vaudoux; one which sacrifices only
fruits, white cocks and goats TO the
seruent god: the other, that sinister
cult ABOVE referred to, whose lesser
call for the blood OF
black goat, but whose advanced orgies
cannot DE fully carried out without the

MAY CAUSE WAR; SITUATION is SERIOUS
President Having Made Muss of It, Is Being Roundy
for His Action the Coal Strike Situation Becoming
Unwilling to Yield

A Washington dispatch SAYS civil
war as severe as ever racked the state
| of Pennsylvania is bound to follow the
first touches of frost in the impover.
ished mining regions
Cold and hunger make people fight,
and the president had this in mind
when he called for the conference be-
tween the presidents of the coal carry
ing and mining roads and the officials
of the United Mine Workers.
The east is in high tension of eX-
! element over the situation, and the
prospects of riot and bloodshed in the
coal fields are great.
The situation is grave. The confer
ence with the president resulted in
absolutely nothing being done.
President Mitchell's proposal that
the miners would be willing for the
president of the United States 10 APP
point board to arbitrate the differ
ences and the absolute refusal of the
operators to deal with Mitchell, and
their proposition that the Judge of the
court of common pleas IN each district
should hear and settle the individual
grievances of the miners leaves the
matter exactly as 1t was.
The president, having failed in his
plan, is being censured instead of ap-
proved. He has only made muss of
the matter, and driven the sides furth-
err apart.
The price of anthracite has jumped |
skYward. 1t is quoted at $25 a ton,
and bituminous at $40. The coal stu
alton is grave, and the only thing that
is hopeful is the warm weather that
has been prevailing.
From political standpoint the action
will result most likely for the benefit
of the democrats, and the republicans
will likely lose congressman in the
eastern states
The coal trust officials have made
President Roosevelt perfectly ridicu
lous in the eyes of the whole country.
They haye placed him in the most
embarrassing position that could be
conceived of, and he feels very keenly
his utter failure to bring about set
Element of the coal strike.
The trust officials, headed by George
F. Baer, president of the Reading rail
road, have simply made Teddy look
like 80 cents, and the president is be-
ing laughed at from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. With great hurrah and
furry Roosevelt threw himself in the
breach between the coal barons and
the miners union, and thought by the
mere summoning of the coal trust pres
idents and the officers of the miners
union TO white house conference he,
would be able to arbitrate
and emo the great strike in short or.
der. Instead of making peace RoOse-
welt has added fuel to the fire, and
there is no chance of a peaceable set
Element Of the great strike which has
waged in Pennsylvania for five months,
and which is threatening to cause mil.
lions of people untold suffering this
winter.
Bitter feeling was shown at the white
