WON'T TOUCH HARD COAL.

Chicago. Oct. 23.-President Morton of
the International Association of Sta
tionary Engineers and Firemen stated
today that all members of the associa-
ton all over the country would be or
dered to refuse to handle any anthracite
until every member affected by the an
thracite strike is reinstated on the basis
on which the miners returned to work
The brotherhood has a membership of
IA 600 and has local unions in ia towns
and cities, including Chicago, New
York Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati
Cleveland, Baltimore, ST Louis, Kan
sas City. Denver and San Francisco.
President Morton declared his organiza-
ton was in position to shut out hard
coal in all cities where it had local
unions and said such action would be
taken if necessary for the protection of
members who had lost their positions OH
account of the anthracite coal strike
This is President Mortons view of the
situation: According to all reports
from the eastern mines, our men are
getting the worst of it, and while the
miners are being reinstated they are left
out in the cold"

SECRET TREATIES.
No Importance Attached to Reports
at Santiago, Chill.

New York, Oct. 23.-Concerning the
secret treaties between Chilli. Colombia.
snd Ecuador. Ell Mercurio quotes the min
lister of foreign affairs as saying the gov
eminent attaches no Importance to their
publication, cables the Santiago, Chilli
correspondent of the Herald The real
meaning of these agreements, according to
the dispatch, can only be understood as
result of the dangerous diplomatic posi-
ton in which Chill was placed in the
last months of 1901 and at the beginning
of 1902.
Chill was then anxious to strengthen her
friendship with some of the South Ameri-
can republics in order to have their help
in the American conference in Mexico
where CHILEAN interests were threatened
by her enemies.
Chill thought that a war with Argen-
tina was possible and the free passage of
the Strait of Magellan would have been
rendered very difficult. This governme Mt
insists on the point that the agreements
were only result of the dangerous posi-
ton of Chill and that the treaties have
nothing to do with the United States in
terests which are in perfect harmony with
those of Chilli

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

New York World:
The final scenes of the strike settle
ment at Washington fully justified the
Worlds insistent assertion that J. P
Morgan was the absolute master of the
situation on the operators side and
could at any time have ended the
trouble by a word.
When the second and decisive confer
ence with the president was to be held
it was not the railroad and coal combine
officers who went to Washington 1t
was Mr.. Morgan and his partner. Mr.
Bacon. And it was Morgan who gave
to the press the plan of settlement.
When il came to a question of revising
the arbitration proposal to meet the OBJ
lection of President Mitchell it was not
found necessary to send for the oper-
ators whose names were signed to IL
Mr. Morgans Yes" answered the pur
pose, and it was spoken through his
personal representatives and messeng-
ers Messrs. Perkins and Bacon.
In short, Mr. Morgan operated the op-
orators at the finish as he could have
done at any stage of the contest, con
firming what the World said on Angus:

the strike: his name is ]. Pierpont Nor

Washington Post:
Consolidation, combination, concentra-
ton of capital and brains, which has
been going on in the business world for
revolutionary changes, has not been ex-
clusiVely confined to secular affairs. Fol
the same reasons that competing man

Combination in manufactures and trans
pOrtatiOn is easily defensible on the
ground that it reduces expenses. Dis

tiuous stipendiaries and putting num-
Der of corpora tions under a single con-
troll. with the best talent available in

duction and, as a rule. better products.
Similar advantages result from combi-
nations in railway and steamship prop

apartment house are equally affiliations
of the same idea-tne production of re-
suits at reduced cost.
In many localities. both rural and

Superfiuous churches have been closed

This arrangement. like the industrial

TOPEKA IS OUT,
Her Bonds Can't BE Substituted
for those of the Government.

Washington. Oct, 23-The treasury
committee on state and municipal bonds
offered to the treasury department as
security for public deposits, held
meeting today and decided that it would
consider in addition to the securities
authorized by state law for the invest
ments of the savings banks of New
York the bonds of any city in any state
of the union to which the debt, exclusive
of water debt and sinking fund is less
than Z per cent of the valuation of the
city for purposes of taxation. Aprlica-
tons. it was decided, must be accom-
panied by statement of the latest
available data concerning debt and val
uation. The information furnished also
should show whether any contest had
ever arisen concerning the legality Of
the bonds offered. In such a case a de-
cision of any court concerning their le-
gality must be presented.
The treasury received today in bonds
offered in substitution S171,00O bringing
the total up to 4,2S5, 900.
The valuation of Topeka is about $10.-
100000, and the bonded debt is 81, no. 800
and so this doesn't let Topeka in.
