announced that it would furnish clean shirts for six cents each, wash all the family hose it could get for three cents pair and turn out underwear at five cents per suit. Collars and cuffs were quoted at the old figures of one. cent each.
 To take advantage of these prices however, patrons must bring and call for their own goods. As an inducement a cake of fine toilet soap is included in every package.
 The slashing of laundry prices in St. Paul has extended over a period of a year, and now finds those who delight in clean linen enjoying rates that rep resent cut of more than 50 per cent. A year ago shirt cost twelve cents and underwear the same figure. Later shirts were reduced to ten cents and underwear to eight cents, to be fol- lowed not long after by a rate of eight and seven cents respectively.
 Now it is six and five cents, and the bottom has by no means been reached. Some of the laundries still adhere to the old figures, but they are decidedly in the minority.

be withdrawn. Before formulating their plans they will consult Major General Miller and General Gobin, especially Gobin, who has been the chief advisor of Stone and Stewart since the first call for troops was made.
 The soldiers, particularly those who have been on duty since July. are anX- ious to be sent home, so that they may resume their civic duties. Some have made repeated attempts to secure fur loughs. so as to attend to private mat ters. but in nearly every instance their requests have come principally from those regiments whose headquarters are located outside of the coal fields. and are composed of mechanics. farm CTS and clerks.
 There have been very few requests from the men of the Ninth and Thir- teenthregiments, both of which have their headquarters in the strike terri tory, and contain a large number of men who depend upon the coal industry for living. Many of these men were thrown out of work by the strike.

BRITISH LOSSES
 IN S0MALILAND
Two Officers and Fifty Soldiers
 Killed
In an Ambush Planned by the Fol lowers of Mad Mullah, Against Whom Punative Expedition Had Been Dispatched.

London, October 19.-The foreign of fee has issued an undated dispatch from Colonel Cobb, commanding one of the columns of the British forces oper- ating against Mad Mullah in Somali- land. Cobb says: My force reached Erego this morning. When about one days march north of Mudug I was at tackled in the thick bush. Two ad- vances were made. and the enemy beaten back in the morning. Their losses were heavy. and we captured 100 rifles. Tn the afternoon a recon naissance was made and after sharp fighting the enemy was again driven off.
 I deeply regret the following casual ties: Colonel Phillips and Captain Angus and fifty men killed and about one hundred men wounded The latter include Captain Howard and Lieuten- ant Everett. but both are doing well. There were severe losses among the transport and riding camels. The force will reach the stockade camp to- morrow and will advance to the at t9ck of the enemy"
 A later dispatch from Col. Swayne in command of the expedition says he is retiring on Bohotle. He asks that six hundred further reliable troops be despatched forthwith.

October 19.-The delegates to the anthracite mine work CTS convention, which will meet in this city tomorrow for the purpose of ac- cepting or rejecting the propositions of the president of the United States to end the strike and submit all grievan- ces to the arbitration commissiCl ap- pointed by him, began arriving here today Many of the delegates are in structed as to the various features of the settlement, but majority of them will follow the advice and Judgment of President Mitchell There is nothing on the surface tonight that gives the slightest indication that the conven- tion will not vote to send the men to work this week, with the probabilities still favoring Thursday as the day of resumption. A noticeable thing among the delegates is their cheeriulness.

EARLY RECALL OF
 TROOPS LIKELY
Governor Stone Wants Them Home
 in Time for Election.

Harrisburg, October 21.-Troops will be withdrawn from the mining regions as scon as terms for settling the strike are accepted. or as soon as Governor Stone is satisfied the presence of the soldiers is no longer necessary to main- tain order and protect life and property.
 The governor is anxious to recall the military as soon as possible. on account of the enormous expense to the state of keeping the men on duty. He hopes to have all of them home before election day, to avoid the additional expense of paying commissioners to take the vote of the soldiers in the field and bring the returns to Harrisburg.
 The third brigade, a portion of which has been on duty since the latter part of July, will probably be ordered home before the first and second brigades. which have not yet been in the field one week. It is not likely that all the troops will be withdrawn at one time. The movement will be by regiments, and may cover a week or ten days from the time of beginning.
 Governor Stone and Adjutant General Stewart are the only officers of the na- tional guard in Harrisburg tonight, and neither of them will discuss the proba- ble settlement of the strike or the time and manner in which the soldiers will

COPPER PRICES
 GOING HIGHER
Its Intrinsic Commercial Value Has
 Not Been Disturb bed.

Spokane. october 19.-W. H. Nichols of the Nichols Chemical Co. of New York. who has been inspecting the mines of the Boundary section. had this to say in a recent interview at Grand Forks. B. C.:
 Copper has been dealt with little harshly, and the drop in prices has frightened tinid people, but it's intria- s!c value has not been disturbed.
 Copper consumption is bound to ia crease, and l look to see it go to F or 13 cents. and possibly to 14 cents per pound. Influences at work not alto gether disconnected with stock job ping are keeping it down. If the nat ural law of supply and demand were not interfered with the price would advance.
 "Our New York refinery has an an nual production of about 10000. 900 pounds of refined copper. and bypro ducts in the way of gold and silver worth $15. .000, GOO. We smelt ores and refine blister copper and mates that contain the precious metals. The re- fining is done by electrolytic process. Our firm was one of the pioneers in the field. By the application of electricity purer quality of copper is produced than was formerly possible. In addi- ton the gold and silver values in the copper matte are saved, but under the old methods all these by-products were lost
 ''The blister copper shipped to us by the Granby Shelter Go. is refined at the minimum tariff because it is free from antimony, arsenic and bismuth. These foreign substances are frequent ly encountered in the matte from other countries. We draw our raw mater ial from Australia. California. New Mexico, Arizona. Mexico, Colorado and Montana.
 1T have examined a good many smelters in the east and west at var ious periods. but have no hesitation in saying that the Granby plant is the most modern I ever saw. The Granby shelter is away ahead of most of the smclters I have seen as regards the prime attributes of economy. and man. agement. I did not visit the other Boundary reduction works. but under stand that they are also of the most modern character.
 T traversed a considerable portion of the three miles of underground workings in the Granby mines at Phoenix. While not unprepared for surprises the magnitude of the ore bodies far surpassed my expecta tions. They are the largest ore bodies I ever inpected. and I have had occasion to visit a great many mines. including my own in Mexico. I shall leave to others the task of estimating the millions of tons of ore in sight or blocked out |"

Washington, October 19.-The export figures for September are extremely en- couraging. They are the largest ever shown for September, with the single exception of that month in the year 1900. and fall less than half a million dollars below the high water mark made in that year. The figures, as just presented by the treasury bureau of statistics, show the total exports in September, 1902 to be $115. .521, ,9S4. against $106, ,9S9,926 in September, 1901. and s115,9 ,901, 722 in September, 1900. the highest figure ever shown by September exportation. Comparing present condi- tions with those of earlier years, the figures for September, 1902 are 25 per cent in excess of those of September, 1898, 50 per cent greater than those of September 1890, more than double those of September, 1SSS and nearly three times as great as those of September. 1885. This seems to indicate that the downward tendency in the export trade caused by the corn crop failure of last year has reached its lowest point and that the reverse movement toward nor nal conditions has begun. Following the failure of the corn crop last year the exports tended steadily downward. Beginning with October. 1901. in which the export figures were $145, 900, 900, the movement was steadily downward until they reached ss,O00,O in July of the present year. In August the upward movement began, reaching $94 900, GOO, and in September s115.0OO,000. which is about $9,OOO,0O0 in excess of September of last year.
 This decrease in exports, as is we'll known, was due to the corn crop fail ure of last year and to the low price of cotton; and while the new corn crop has not yet begun to make its appear ance in the export figures of the bureau of statistics, the movement of the new

cotton year has been active and Is the principal cause of the upward tread in the export figures. The cotton exports for September were 347. .OO0. 900 pounds. valued at s3O.OOO, 900. in round terms. against 20O.OO0,O OOO pounds valued at SIS OO0,COO in September of last year. and less than 2OO,OOO.OOO pounds valued at S20,0OO. GOO in September of the preced- ing year, 1900. Even breadstuffs show decidedly upward tendency in the ex- port movement during September. the total value of breadstuffs exported in September, 1902. being 22.000 Oo0. against $12.OOO.OOO in June. and s.l. coo coo in September of last year.
 The above figures relating to cotton and breadstuffs. it should be under stood, are those of the preliminary statement of the bureau of statistics. but include 9S per cent of the entire eN- port of the articles named. while the figures of the total exports of the month. although practically complete. are the preliminary figures and subject to the usual revision.

The principal question outside the great question of accepting or rejecting President Roosavelt's proposition will be that of the strikers getting their old places. A large number fear that in the general rush in the return to the mires, some of them may fail to get work They want some assurance from the convention that they will be able to get the positions they occupied before the suspension was ordered. IL is likely that an element in favor Of this, from three districts will join forces and make c concerted fight on the floor of the convention for some specific action. In the face of the fact that the operators are on record that they will not dismiss one man who stood by them during this struggle, it is going to na a serious problem to solve.

MONSTER LEATHER BELT.
Only One Larger in the World-10O Feet
 Long, 80 Inches Wide.

Minneapolis, October 19.-There is but one larger leather belt in the world than that just completed by the w. 2. Nott Rubber company of this city for the big drive wheel at the Twin City Rapid Transit company's new power house, now in process of construction.
 The belt is 100 feet long. weighs 20O0 pounds, is 80 inches in width and three ply. It cost approximately 1,S0O
 There are eight hides to every four feet of-the belt, which means 20astRad of cattle, a respectable herd for a small stock farmer. were required to furnish enough leather for this enormous belt.
 Throughout the entire process of con- struction no fasteners of any descrip- tion were used outside of a special belt cement of high adhesive power. Alto gether it took fifteen men more than q month to fashion it. The size of this belt gives an idea of the diameter of the big wheel which will before long be furnishing much of the street railway motive power.
 The biggest belt ever built by the w. s. Mott company, which was the larg- est in the world, was furnished to the Anaconda copper mine at Anaconda, Mont. It was 1S0 feet long. 66 inches in width and four-ply. It required 36o hides and weighed $500 pounds, driving from a 2S-foot diameter pulley to an S7-inch driving pulley. It's speed was 5000 feet per minute. and it transmitted an average load oE 1,SO0 horsepower.

.EL0PED WITH HIS
 WIFE BY MISTAKE
She Discovered Husbands Plan and
 Took Yelled Widows Place.

Meriden. Conn, October 19.-An an- onymous letter was received recently by Mrs. Harrie Falkner of Yalesville, Conn.,, containing the information that her husband of a few months was at tertivc to a young widow living in Mcriden. The le.ter told of secret meetings in the parlors of the Charter Oak hotel and of walls through Hub bard park.
 Mrs. Falkner shadowed her husband when he met the young widow and overheard enough to convince her that an elopment was being planned. A black veil and bouquet of chrysanthe- nuns were mentioned.
 For two days Mrs. Faulkner kept close watch on her husband She said today:
