was tempestuous from Friday night to
yesterday at noon.
The steamer came through with no
damage, although some of the fruit racks
I'm the hold were broken by the jumping
of the ship in the sea. So heavy was the
storm on Sunday afternoon and Monday
until late In the day the speed was shut
down TO keep the ship from laboring so
heavily.
While the storm was at. It's height. at
1880 p. m. on Sunday. in latitude and
longitude Ball north and 722O west. two
United States navy barges were sighted
The ship WAS then about 30 miles east
southeast OF Cape Hatteras.
The barges were connected by lines and
were drifting about 60 fathoms apart. No
signs OF life were seen on board. The
Dumois was run as close to the barges
repeatedly to arouse any person who
might be on board the derellcts.
The barges were numbered So and "a

being quite certain no one was on board
the steamer proceeded. Had it not been
for the exceedingly heavy sea boat
would have been launched and the barges
searched, but as no one was seen, II was
decided not TO take any risk.
Capt. Nieuwejaar reported the facts

The steamer brought 1i.600 punches OF

Referring to the recent strike, Mr..
Truesdale says that he Is reliably in
formed that so per cent of it's employees
were opposed to the strike. but were
forced to enter upon IT by a majority vote
OF the mine workers in other fields. Mr..
Truesdale follows closely the lines Of Mr..
Baer's argument as to the dssimilarity
between the work in the anthracite mines
and that in bituminous mines
UNIFORM RATE IMPOSSIBLE.
He declares that Il Is impossible to
adopt a uniform rate to be paid to the
miners for a unit of coal mined at all
mines. The declaration also is made
that the anthracite miners. as a rule, do
not work as many hours a day as do the
bltuminous miners, and the opinion is
advanced that IL the wages of the an
thracite miners had been less than that
Of other workingmen they would have
found employment elsewhere, which they
did not do.
on the point OF general prosperity he
says that prior to the introduction OF
agitators and mischief makers the an
thracite workers were on an average as
prosperous, comfortable and contented a.
any body of workers in similar employ
ment In this country. The wages. II Is
added, are such that frugal employees
have saved a substantial amount every
year.
LIE fiOOh Of lABOR.
Mr.. Truesdale resists the demand for
a reduction OF 20 per cent In hours OF la
Dor. saying that no branch OF business
employing thousands of men can hope to
compete successfully i'm the markets OF
the world II It's hours OF labor are re-
stricted. He declares that there is no un-
just discrimination In the weighing OF
coal. as IL Is measured rather than
weighed and he asserts that the demand
Is "out OF all reason and Its effect so far
as this company is concerned. Is a de-
mand for an additional increase In the
wages now paid miners of from 10 40
per cent.
The present method OF measurement Is
declared TO be the result of long usage
and fair to all concerned.
PRESIDENT ELEPHANTS REPLY.
President olyphant OF the Delaware
and Hudson Co. in his reply declares that
the wages paid by his company are just
and adequate. He also says that those
Of its employees who perform contract or
piece work. as matter OF their own vo-
ltion work only about six hours day
and take numerous holidays without the
consent or approval Of this respondent.
and their earnings by hours OF actual
work are therefore much higher than
those In any similar employment
Denial is made Of all the allegations
In connection with the demand for shorter
hours and n is contended that such re-
duction necessarily would increase the
price OF coal. While admitting that the
mine owners sell their coal by the ton,
he says that the coal thus sold Is a very
different article from that taken out of
the mine Hence he contends against the
change from the present system OF pay
ment 20 that Of paying by the ton.
OBJECTION TO THE UNION.
President oiyphant also takes excep-
tion to the proposition 90 arbitrate the
question Of the recognition cf the Miners
union.
This proposition is placed on the ground
