women and children amounted in value
to s.. G62. $50. and the customs duties
to IS, SO5, 459. That is to say, for every
dollars worth of these goods one dollar
and two cents was paid in duties at the
custom house. BY the time the goods
passed through the hands of the importer,
iobber and retail dealer the total increase
in cost to American consumers was not
less then $50 per cent. AT the SINE
time prices of domestic fabrics Of the
same qualities were enhanced in nearly
equal proportions. Yet Secretary Shaw

sues. A shipment of 300 tons OF coal
was made from North Mahanoy washery

Your Committee reports that, owing TO the
wide diversity Of opinion on the part Of the
property owners on Alfred street, between
King and Queen streets, as to the IL ost desir-
able position for the sidewalks on said street.
it would be unwise to order any radical
change at present
We therefore recommend, That the space
between the lines of the o. Il and new curbs b,
sodded, provided the adjoining propert,
owners be permitted IT, pave this space if the,
so desire. 1t is understood that when all the
property owners Oh any square shall have had
such paving done, the ordinance in regard to
the location Of sidewalks and parkings, now
=! in force, shall become operative.
The approximate cost for brick paving
would be 10 cents per square yard, for grano-

cents per square yard

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 10, 1902

THERE Is a hitch in the negotiations
for peace between the coal operators anC
miners. and the sanguine con ditions Of
yesterday have given place to an IN
certainty, the duration of which is now
TO be determined by Mr.. Mitchell who
still insists that he is the power to be
consulted and beside him there is nc
other. In the meantime shiyerlns
children are importuning coal dealers IN
New York to sell them bucketfuls OF
coal for use in sick chambers. The fol-
lowing issued last night by Mr. Mitchell
explains the situation /:
81 fully appreciate with what anxiety
the people of our country are awaiting
the end of the coal strike. The Goa
GENERATORS have not addressed the miners
union or its officers in making their pub
lie statement 1t is, therefore, imposs'-
Bile for me to state the attitude OF the
miners at this time. d"
When Mr.. Mitchell was asked If hi
and the district officers had power to enc
the strike, he said that it is a rule OF the
organization that no settlement can be
made by the officers of the union with
out the consent of the delegates in conyen-
ton. 1t is practically certain that Mr..
Mitchelps advice will be followed in the
conference and it is freely predicted by
those who understand the situation thai
he will advise refusal Of the PROPOSE
ton. Mr. Mitchell realizes that ne has
been ignored and that the statement OF
the operators was addressed to the great
body of strikers and not to him. 1t prob
able now that until he can in some man.
ner be recognized by the operators he Will
endeavor to continue present conditions.
Mr.. Mitchell was asked last night II the
strike could be declared off by himself
and the district officers, and his reply
was to the effect that the question will
be submitted to a convention of the
strikers delegates. To elect delegates
for such a convention and transact Its
business will take fully a week, and so
there is no relief in sight until that
time. In the meantime the mercury
has taken decided tumble and factories
in all parts of the country are closing
down and throwing thousands OF people
out of work while operators and workmen
are awaiting the pleasure OF the head
centre of this the most serious Labor
trouble which has ever beset the country.
The man who assumes to act as barrier
to the resumption of work, or who Is
preventing the kindling of the cheerful
fires in the thousands of homes in the
United States takes upon himself great
responsibility, and unless he can give
good reason for his course an indignant
populace will hold him to a fearful
accountability.

CLEVELAND and anti-Cleveland demo-
Gratis will all agree with the ex-Presi-

''It is my clear conviction that the best
assurance of success for the democracy

found in a sincere and unremitting in
sistance upon its old-time doctrine of a
fair and benefcent tariff adjustment
This insistance should be from now on. 7"
The democrats elected Mr.. Cleveland

IN THE MINE operators statement
made to the country Monday night the
following significant language occurs
'The United Mine Workers Union,
of which Mr.. John Mitchell is presi-
dent, was originally formed in the btu
minous coal region, and three-fourths
of its members are miners of bltuminous
coal, and bituminous coal is sold in
active competition with anthracite
coal"
Is it then for the pecuniary benefit
of the bituminous miners that the strike
of the anthracite workmen is kept up?
At any rate the bituminOus miners have
been very active in sending money to
Pennsylvania in order that the struggle
may be prolonged. If this is the true
cause of present conditions, or if such a
motive plays any part whatever in this
struggle, the public should know it.

find any evidence that Miss Smith was
murdered. Miss Balm continues i'll in
the City Hospital, and not even her
lawyer is permitted to talk with her.
This has retarded any preliminary hear,
ing that the authorities may wish to hold.
"The trouble in this case, !" said Prose-
cutting Attorney Nesbitt, ''is the States
to prove the copus deficit We
cannot 90 into court with the girls
confession and convict her on that. We
must have some prior evidence 10 the
effect that Miss Smith was murdered.
The physicians who conducted the au
Lopsy to ascertain whether drugs or
poison had been used can testify that
she was dead, but how can We establish
the fact that she was killed by criminal
means? The girls confession to Chief
Ritz will not stand. She cannot be
convicted on that alone"
