A FAILURE TO AGREE
MAY CAUSE THE COAL STRIKE
CONFERENCES TO COME TO
CLOSE.
Ma jority of Operators Think 1t Best
to Adjourn Efforts to Reach
Settlement.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 6.--Wayne Nc
Veagh, the operators counsel left this
fore he went he set at rest all stories
that have been printed relative to a
settlement of the strike trouble by
causing to be issued the following
statement:
Mr. McVeagh left here for
Washington by way of New York, as
testimony now being taken does not
concern his clients to an extent which
makes his presence necessary. Mr..
MacVeagh stated before leaving that
a majority of the operators thought
it better to adjourn all efforts to reach
an amicable agreement in conferences,
as basis OF award of the commission,
until both sides have presented all the
testimony they wish to offer. Wheth.
er the effort to reach such basis
will then be resumed can only be
decided after the testimony is closed.
mt. MacVeagh added that he per-
sonally thought in view of the extra
ordinary conditions existing in the
anthracite region, that this was a mis-
taken attitude for the operators to as
sumo. as he feared each days testi-
mony would tend to increase the bit
terness of feeling, but it was not only
right but the duty OF the operators
to act on their own judgment Of the
situation, and he sincerely hoped re-
suits would fully justify the conclusion
they had reached"
This was the principal feature of the
afternoon. A number of witnesses
were called to the stand to show that
they had been denied employment at
the Crosby Island Colliery of the Dele
ware and Hudson company, since the
strike was declared off. They admit
ted, however, that the reason given for
their being refused positions was that
the company had more men than it
needed
In the case of Peter Ingoldsby it was
shown however. that the men had
been arrested during the strike for
stoning troops at Olyphant. The wit
ness proceeded to state to the commits
sion that he was able to make very
small wages during 1901. because he
could seldom get full quota of cars.
Mr. Torrey for the Delaware and
,i'lson company then scored point
fol his side by demonstrating that
during 1901 Ingoldsby often made
more than 500 month, after powder
and all other charges had been deduct
ed from the same, and that the COM
pany had paid him, during the year
referred to $1,O56 third of this
went to the laborer, SO it was figured
out that the wages of Ingoldsby during
the year were $638.
Rev. J. j. Curran, of Wilkesbarre,
was the last witness of the afternoon.
He said that he pleaded with the
strikin, miners to call off the strike,
but he thought their wages were not
sufficient for their needs.

The sign is kind of primer lesson
for the fellow who leaves the door
open when he goes through on cold
day.
Another door which attracts atten,
tion is at the Iron Mountain freight de
pot 1t has rope and pulley attach
ment, with about 100 pounds of iron
fastened to the rope. This weight
hangs in such manner that it barely
allows the door to open wide enough
to admit a person and one who has
passed through understands what is
meant when it is said that the door
is impolite and ''pinchy'
One other door opens only to the
proper pass word. That is, you are
only admitted when others are pass
ing through. Behind this door the re-
porter always gets news. Some doors
are high tup. others low down; some
broad and some narrow; but all, like
people. have their different character
istics, and are an index to the people
behind them.

President of the G. F. & A. Railroad
Talks in Jacksonville.
Mr.. J. P. Williams, president of the
Savannah Cotton Exchange, and of the
J. P. Williams Company, returned to
that city yesterday from South Georgia,
where he has been looking after the in
terests of the Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama railroad, of which he is also pres
ident. Mr.. Williams, according to the
Savannah News, is pleased. with the
progress being made on the line, and
the near approach of it's completion to
Tallahassee.
Owing to the floods in that section,
some apprehension was felt for the
safety Of the company's bridge over
Flint river. The bridge has the finest of
masonry, and its structural parts are
of the best and strongest materials.
Unless a food out of the ordinary
comes, the bridge is not apt to suffer
any damage.
Mr.. Williams states that the high
waters will, in all probability, interfere
with the movement of both lumber and
naval stores, as railroad traffic has al
ready been interrupted on some lines.
During his trip Mr.. Williams saw some
thing of the tobacco interests along the
line of his railroad, and is we'll pleased
with the outlook for the development
of this ndustry.-Jacksonv MetrOp-

Texas, started the agitation for a eau
Gus and secured the necessary number
of signers to a petition asking that it be
called.
The members of the new Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee
did not organize, at the meeting held
several days ago, but decided, after
more than two hours discussion of the
outlook, to postpone organization two
weeks, in order that more time could be
given to the selection of a chairman.
1t was the general sentiment of the
members Of the committee that with
good management the Democrats can
elect majority Of the next House, and
that the good ma ,agement would not
be lacking.
A number of good speeches against
the ship subsidy bill, which was passed
by the Senate today, were made by
| Democratic Senators during the past
week. and the most of them will doubt
less be widely circulated as campaign
literature during the coming congress
siOnal campaign. Senator McLaurin,
OF Mississippi. represented general
| Democratic sentiment when he said
that he was as anxious as any Repub-
lican Senator to Tehabilitate the Ameri-
can merchant marine, but he should
rather not see one stained with the
! talnt Of money which did not legiti-
mately belong to its owners.
Thanks to the energy of Representa-
tive De Graffenreid, of Texas, a single
bill providing Statehood for the terri
tories of Arizona, New Mexico, and
Oklahoma, has been favorably reported
to the House by the committee on terri
tories, and will be pushed through if
possible, although the attitude of prom
inent Republican Senators makes 1t
doubtful whether action can be had on
the bill in the Senate.
Representative Jenkins, Of Wiscon-
sin, says that Cuba belongs to the
United States just the same as Porto
Rico and the Philippines, and that the
administration cannot surrender the
title without sct of Congress direct
ing it to do This may be true, but
all the same ne administration is PIC
pairing to turn the island over to the
Cuba1s and has not asked Congress
for permission to do so. All this makes
it just possible that Mr.. Jenkins Goe:
not know quite as much as he think:
he does.
Senator Hanna is openly making hi:
brags that the Nicaragua canal bill
; which was favOrably reported las
week, shall not get voted upon by thu
Senate, owing to his control of a ma
, jOrity of the Republican steering
committee, which will refuse Senator
| Morgan's request that time be set fo
consideration of. the canal. bill. Well

SEIZED FERTILIZER
Three Hundred Sacks We're

HAD NO TAGS ATTACHED
The Fertilizer was not Marked as
Required by Law.

Yesterdays Jacksonville Metropolis
contained the following, which shows
that State Chemist Rose is keeping a
sharp lookout for violators of the law
in regard to the sale of fertilizers:
Yesterday about 4 p. m, State Chem
iSt Rose notified the sheriff that he sus-
pected that there was some fertilizer at
the depots here which the owner or
shipper had not complied with the law
in regard thereto. Deputy Sheriff Vim
zant went on a search and found 300
sacks, about fifteen tons, of cotton seed
meal in SeabOard Air Line car, which
had been shipped here from Washing
ton, Ga, to the order of the Southern
Cotton Oil Company, and it did not
have the analysis tagged and stamped
as the law directs, and it was seized AMI
transported to a warehouse and sam
piles taken from the sacks and sent to
Tallahassee for analysis, with the par
ticulars Of seizure. The sheriff will
await further orders from Commission
er McLin.
The sherif's authority, as we'll as the
law, was on file, and read as follows:
ORDERS TO SHERIFF.
Tallahassee, Fla, March 5, 1902.
Hon. John Price, Jacksonville, Fla:
Dear Sir-I hereby hand you another
copy of the fertilizer laws, and espe-
cially call your attention to the duties
of sheriffs in enforcing the laws. The
season is now we'll on for fertilizer and
cotton seed meal to be shipped into our
State. Please see to it, as it is your
duty to do so, that no fertilizer or cot
ton seed meal rs sold or handled by any
person in your county that has not its
guaranteed analysis and State tax
stamp attached. 1t is your duty to at
tach all such goods. Advise each of
your deputies on this matter. Make no
exceptions; all must comply alike. At
tach in every case where you find goods
not properly tagged and stamped. Ad-
wise this Office promptly of any goods
found not having complied with the
l1aW.
Very truly yours,
