TO FRAME OHIO LAWS.
Special Session of the Legislature Is
Called to Order.


The Ohio Legislature convened at 3
p. m. Monday in extraordinary session
at Columbus, to enact laws for the gov
eminent of municipalities and TO restore
lost jurisdiction to the Supreme Court
these matters having been clouded by
the action of that court early in the sum-
mer.
Each branch of the General Assem-
bly, was called TO order promptly, and
after roll call the Governors message,
accompanied by q municipal code bill
prepared under the direction of the chief
executive, was received. Following this
resolutions were offered on the death of
William Bell, Jr., former Secretary OF
State and at the time of his death a mem
Der of the House. Adjournment was
then taken. In his me age Gov. Nash
first called attention he act passed
last May depriving Supreme Court
of nearly all the Appellate jurisdiction
formerly possessed by the court. The
repeal of the act is recommended.
Continuing, the message says: Dur
ing the last days of June the Supreme
Court of the State handed down several
decisions, which practically deprive our
VI III
1t is apparent that this creates an ex-
traordinary situation, which needs a rem
edy at the earliest possible moment. Con-
stitutional government must be restored
to our cities AMI villages. The labor de-
manded of us Is not so much a work of
construction as of readjustment.
''The question now is not wat we
think would be a model municipal gov
eminent, but what we can get consider
ing the constitutional limitations and all
the circumstances. The task must be ap-
preached with a spirit of give and take
and with a determination TO accomplish
something which viii bring order out of
chaos. 1t is time enough to attempt TO
have our fayorite ideas in regard TO mu-
inequalities Incorporated into law after
order has been resrred and when the
General Assembly has ample time at its
regular session to discuss and consider
them"

Pennsylvania COAL STRIKE.
Leaders Acknowledge that Indications
Point to Long Struggle.

Much Importance is attached to the
calls Gen. Goblin receives from coal mine
operators. who spend hours with the gen.
eral in going over the strike situation.
After having met number of operators
Gen. Goblin said that he does not see
any signs of a settlement.
In fact he states thaC an indications
point more definitely to a prolongation of
the strike now than they did when he
first reached Shenandoah, Pa. He keeps
in touch with the strikers, as well as the
operators, and may be seen daily riding
over the hills with members of his staff
Along the road he frequently holds con-
versations with miners, all of whom dis
play friendly feeling toward him per-
sonally.
There is no i'll feeling in Shenandoah
against the soldiers and the military has
become so popular that movement has
been set afOot to start a company in that
town.
Senator Hanna in Buffalo has admitted
that all hope of persuading the anthra-
cite coal operators to arbitratc with the
strikers has been abandoned. Il have
exhausted all my efforts" said Senator
Hanna. Il have done all in my power
and can do no more. l will make no fur
Their attempts, for it would be useless"
He declared there was no chance Of Or
bitration so long as only one side, the
miners, were willing to arbitrate He
gave it as his opinion that the miners will
not give in as long as they are able to
fight.
1T will not be a short fight" said lie.
at will be prolonged and such prolonga-
ton will mean not only hardships for
the miners and the women and children
dependent on them, but it will have its
effect on the American people. The long
er this struggle continues the greater will
be the Increase in the price of coal"
President Roosevelt will be asked to
call a special session of Congress to take
action to end the coal strike This was
decided at meeting in New York of The
Central Federation Union, representing
100000 workingmen.
Russell Sage explained how J. Pier
pont Morgan could end the coal strike
Mr. Morgan" said Mr. Sage, sis the
greatest man in the financial world of
this country. No one can deny this, and
it is through this fact alone that he can
bring an end to the coal strike His in
fuence is so great that all that it is
necessary for him to do is to speak, de-
clare his mind on the subject and if it
favors a termination of the strike it
would not be long before the miners
would resume work"

ENEMY'S SHIPS TAKEN.
Mimic Naval War Ends with Surren-
der of PilIsburY,s Snnadrnn.

der of Pillsbury's Squadron.
The mimic naval war on the New Eng
land coast ended Sunday morning with
the capture of Pillsbury's white squad
ron off Magnolia, Mass, by Rear Ad-
miral Higginson's fleet Pillsbury was
attempting to steal into Salem harbor
when his vessels We're sighted by Daniel
II. Staehle, the signal boy of the flagship
Kearsarge, and soos TIE defending bat
tleships We're racing to intercept the
enemy" Tine attacking ships were cor
nered and PillsSnry was forced TO sur
render.
1t was daybreak when the signal boy
saw Pillsburys ships steaming in the di-
rection of Salem The Kearsarge. with
its consorts, the Alabama aud the Mas
sachusetts, lying near by, was anchored
close in to Thatcher's Island and less
than three miles off Rockport
Pilisbury was heading in northeast
and was about fifteen miles to the south
ward of the Kearsarge Staehle knew
the enemy's ships and gave the alarm i'm
mediately. In ten minutes the Kear-
sarge, the Alabama and the Massachu-
sets had anchors up and were headed
for the hostile squadron, going at clip
ping rate. The big flagship got up a
ffteen-knot speed within a few seconds
after it was started. Close behind came
the Alabama and Massachusetts.
Commander Pillsbury saw the game
was up and stopped his engines to wait
for his opponents to draw near. 1t was
400 o'clock when the white squadron
was sighted. At 5 o'clock the crews Of
the blue were summoned to quarters. At
5:35 Rear Admiral Higginson called on
Pillsbury to surrender. Five minutes
later the commander of the squadron
gracefully complied, sending up flag sig
nal to that effect.
Then the blue squadron hove TO and
Commander Pillsbury came aboard the
Kearsarge, where he and Rear Admiral
Higginson said pleasant things to each
other. When this was over the Kear-
sarge, the Alabama and the Massachu-
sets went back to Rockport to await
the reassembling of the entire fleet, dis
patch boats being sent out in the mean
time to gather in the guard and picket
vessels strung out along the coast be
tween Portland and Cape Cod

his intentions are to make the start for
Manila soon.
Under the law there is no way of pre-
venting Gen. Miles from going anywhere
within the limits of bis command. Gen.
Sherman once moved the army headquar-
tiers to st. Louis and Gen. Miles order
ed himself to Santiago during the war
with Spain
Notwithstanding the fact that Gen.
Shafter commanded the Cuban expedi-
ton, Gen. Miles did participate in the
Negotiations for the surrender of the
Spaniards, and knowing this, the officials
in Washington fear that he may endeay or
to interfere with the policy of the United
States in dealing with the Moros of Min
danao.
Should Gen. Miles while in the Philip
pines endeayor to assert his authority as
commanding general of the army, 1t may
result in serious complications.

NEW DASH FOR POLE.
Mr.. ZiegIer Has Another Party in the
Arctic Circle.

Arctic Circle.
The north pole is yet to be made to
give up its secrets by an expedition of
which William Ziegler is the hacker ard
which is now in. Franz Josef Land, but
the leader of that expedition is not Evelyn
b. Baldwin. Mr.. Ziegler in New York
stated that, while Baldwin had not been
supplanted, he had left behind him in the
arctic region ON the Frithjof an expedi-
ton which has received instructions to
proceed without the former lesder.
This expedition sailed CD July / for
Camp Ziegler, Alger Island, Franz Josef
Land, with William S. Champ. Mr.. Zieg-
ler's former secretary and confidential
adviser, on board. Mr.. Champ has in
structions to leave the expedition at Camp
Ziegler and take the Frithjof back to

ing statement of the situation:
The truth of the matter is that Bald

entirely Independent of Baldwin. | gave
them explicit instructions. If they didn't
find Baldwin they were to go forward
or their own hook They are under a
competent leader, in whom l have conf
dence.
Baldwin is still lying in Norway, and
if / am correctly informed, it is too late
in the season for him to reach Franz
Josef Land this fail. He has planned TO
go back next summer and make his trial
in the spring of 1904. If everything has
gone well with the Frithjof party they
are now in Franz Josef Land. They
will pass the winter there, after establish
ing themselves as far north as they can
get. They will not wait for Baldwin, but
will make their expedition independent

them. If they reach the pole. well and
good. The man who gets there first is
the man who will get the glory"

Newgate was taken from q gate that once

The old building was comparatively

Shakespeare was wort TO visit Newgate

CITY SPRINGS up IN A NIGHT.
Oklahoma Prairie Blossoms Into {
Thriving Town in "a Hours.

Thriving Town in "a Hours.
Thomas City, o. T., with $500 popu-
lation, has leaped forth a city without
the preliminary stages of hamlet, village
or town. In fact, over night it came into
actually. What few days ago was
virgin prairie of Custer County is now
the site of a city which promises to grow
and prosper.
few days ago the inhabitants were
touring on trains through Kansas and
Oklahoma. To-day they are enthusiastic
boomers of the new city.
Thomas City was born in the brains of
some Missouri land promoters. They or
ganized and secured for it a resting place
on the bosom of mother earth and then
proceeded to find the inhabitants for it.
The latter were secured before the city
was brought into actually, so far as a
local habitation is concerned.
Lots were generously sold and to-day
Thomas City has its daily newspaper. its
financial and mercantile institutions and
all those features which go to make up a
municipality, including the machinery of
government. Yet when the inhabitants
arrived not enc knew where his lot was
to be- how valuable or for what avail
able.
Thomas City's inhabitants met for the
first time at Kansas City, where they en-
trained for their new home. They fra
ternized at once, for no one knew who
would be his next door ntighbor.
\ unique plan was followed in organ
izing the town. 1t was on paper and
the lots sold at the uniform price of $50,
"unsight and unseen" Consequently no
mai knew when he arrived whether lie
was to have the choicest plat in town or
to get the outermost corner. The site
committee reserved every other lot and
these will be sold to future settlers at
an advanced price.
The day following the arrival of the
settlers the drawing OF the lots occur
red. and although some did not secure
as good location as they had hoped there
was no complaint.
The site is now dotted with tents. and
shacks are going up rapidly. The ma
terial Of the printing office, the fixtures
for rhe three banks, the stock fer the
stores and shops were all on hand. ami
the town sprang into existence without
any unnecessary excitement.

Justice Spring of the New York SUI

YEARS. METAL YIELD
FIGURES ON PRODUCTION OF
GOLD AND SILVER.
Total Falls Short of That of Previous
Year, Though Gold Is Almost Up TO
1.-THE Total VaIne of the Prodnc-
ton for 1901 Is S1II,795, 100.

George E. Roberts. director of the
mint, has issued his final estimate OF the
production of gold ana silver in The
United States during the calendar year
1901. AIR Roberts statement shows
that during the year the United States
produced 3,S05,5O0 ounces of gold. val-
ued at $TS.666. 700, decrease of $504.-
800. or O.636 per cent, as compared with
the yield of 1900.
Ten of the nineteen States and terri
tories yielding gold showed an increased
production, California leading with ST.
015. 200, an Increase due entirely TO the
normal development of the mining indus
try.
Nevada showed the material gain of
$9o7, 600, which came largely from the
newly discovered camp of Tonapah, in
Nye County. although nearly every coun-
~ in the State increased it's production.
South Dakota also made a gain of $301,-
800; Idaho, S144 ,600 and Oregon, Sl23,-
400.
Alaska Shows Decrease.
The greatest decrease, amounting to
81, 2S5, 300 was in A'~ska. This was due
TO the lateness Of the seasc.., which de
layed the opening of the placers, and to
litigation, which interfered with the de-
yelopment of the industry. Colorado d.
minished S1,135,90e. fact explained by
the decline in the grade Of ores extract
ed, the tonnage having increased.
The silver yield for 1901 amounted to
55,214,000 ounces. of the commercial
value of $33, 12S, 400, which was >, 433,-
900 ounces, or 3 per cent, less than it
vas in 1900 The greatest gain--1 ,493,-
600 ounces-was in Utah, almost all of
which came from the Park City district.
Nevada. New Mexico and Washington
also made gains. The production of
Colorado, owing to the decline in the
grade of ores extracted. fell off 2,046, 100
fine ounces, while Montana's yield dimin-
ished 1,063. 700 ounces. Idaho's $50, 200
and South Dakota's 45S, 200.
Total Value Is Less.
The total value of the precious metals
produced by the United States in 1901
amounted to Sill, T95, 100, which was 81,
964, 100, or 2 per cent, less than the yield
for 1900. The following statement shows
the approximate distribution by produc
ing States and territories Of the product
OF gold and silver in the United States
for the calendar year 1905.

London's Famous Old Jail Demolished
by WreclSeTs.
The demolition of the walls of Newgate
prison, London. was begun the other day.
The famous old pile. which has been the
place of confinement Of many persons of
rank as well as hated criminals since
1890, stood in the way OF the moderhiz-
ing of London, including the widening OF
streets, etc, and was ordered down. The
structure dates back 1870 years. Its pred
ecessors on the same site were destroyed
by fire.
There was not in London a more strik-
ing building than this old prison house.
The high stone walls, rugged and black
ened, and presenting tae merest Sits for
for windows, suggested the many TRACE
dies that have been enacted within them.
The history of the stronghold dates from
the reign of King john, and as early as
1923 the masonry was taken down and

This Country Fails to Keep Pace in
Latin American Lands.
The insular division OF the War De
partment in Washington has published
its last summary of the commerce of the
island of Cuba. The summary shows
that the total value of imports into Cuba
during the military occupation was 1925
437, 135 and the exports were S45,000,0OO
less than the importations, fact attrib-
uted to the destruction OF property and
damage to agriculture caused by the Boer
war. The United States furnished 43
per cent of the imports and took 10 per
cent of the exports. Practically all the
sugar went to the United States. The
balance of trade was decidedly in favor
of Cuba, and it is remarked that the
trade of the United States has not kept
pace in any of the Latin-American coun-
tries with its wonderful strides in other
parts of the world
