Lively Guessing in New York.

The managers Of both parties in New
York are alarmed by the decrease in
registration in that city for the first twI
days OF this necessary ante-election pro
ceeding- There has been a falling off %
about 10000 from the vote registered al
the corresponding time two years ago.
The decrease is heavier in the RepUb-
lean than in the Democratic districts,
and 1t IS entirely out Of proporrioz It.

Republican leaders are making special
efforts 10 get their vote registered Il
these districts. and the results noted
are extremely disCouraEinE TO them. Tn
Democratic managers account for the
falling of in the registration in their
districts by the fact that thousands Of
Hebrews were debarred from register

OF yom Kippur- The Republican man
ayers are wholly unable TO ascTibe any
such cause for the marked diminutio1

beginning TO appear obvious that tha
Republicans are seriously threatened
with trouble IN New York.

WALES. GERMANY. AND
RUSSIA SENDING COAL
Miners Strike a Bonanza for
Some Steamships.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct I2--While the
anthracite strike is making sad holes n
the revenues OF the coaI-carryinz
roads. It is proving a veritabIe bonanza
TO ocean steamship lines in a position to
take advantage OF the American demand
for foreign coal. Considerably over
100000 tons Of this has already been
contracted for. and many regular liners
are under charter TO bring coal from
Wales on their westward runs at rates
which have never before been paid
Instead OF waiting at Liverpool or
other ports for miscellaneous cargo IS
the vessels are being hurried 10 Swan
sea. Port Talbot. OF Cardiff. where
thousands OF tons Of Welsh coal arc
dumped into their holds in a few hours.
and they are then dispatched 10 this
side Of the Atlantic Freights to New
York, Philadelphia. and Boston. which
were S1.75 per ton a week ago, are
now quoted at $2,I5 per ton.
The Philadelphia Transatlantic Line.
whose vessels ply from this port to
London. Avonmouth. and MaDchesl ct.
has. under the direction OF Charles NJ
TaylOr's Sons. chartered four OF its
steamers TO load Welsh coal for New
York, Philadelphia, and Boston. The
steamship Montauk viii load a full
cargo at Cardiff for one OF those three
ports; the North Point Will load at
Cardiff for New York, the Planet Mars
at Port Talbot for Boston. and the
Manchester Market at Swansea for Phil
adeIphia.
It IS estimated that these four yes
sells will bring 10000 tons OF coal 10
this country. After discharging their
cargoes the entire feet viii come %

inEron friends OF the Hon julius Cae-
sar Burrows have entered an indignant
denial Of the report recently sent out
from Michigan of his intention TO re
tire from public life at the expiration
Of his senatorial term in 1908. This re

lied thar the easy victory Of General
AlEer for the seat made vacant by the
death of Senator Mcmillan indicated
that he would have fierce opposition for
recollection. and that rather than scram-

a particle and that he is even stronger
now than he was when Senator McMu-

Current Political Gossip.
Hard at Il IN Delaware.

The political situation in Delaware is
as badly mixed at present as it has
been al any time since the opuIenr and
ambitious J. Edward Addicks invaded
the Bayards. the Saulsburys. the Duponls
and HiEsinses with his wealth and
methods It is still apparent that but
for Addjc.s Delaware would be safely
Republican, provided. Of course. that
the results Of recent elections in the
State represent the real convictions of
the voters on the great public questions
Addicks has d ticket in the field this
year. and so have the anti-Addicks. or
Regular Republicans W NJ Byrne
heads the Addtcks ticket for Congress
and DIR. Ball, at present the sole Repra-
sentative of Delaware in Congress. IS
again leading the auti-Addicks forces
The factions are united on some of the
candidates for state Offices. though they
continue TO pull apart on candidates for
the Legislature. which is TO make az
other effort this winter 10 send two
Senators 10 Washington. Republican
primaries were held the other day in
New Castle county TO select the Repub-
lcan candidates for the Legislature. 4
correspondent reports that the carnival
Of d=bauchery and fraud that attended
me primaries appalled, even those who
have ueen used 10 this sort Of thing"
He adds that there was almost open
buying Of votes" The intimation IS
that the anti-Addicks people are spend
ing money quite as freely this year as
Addicks is always accused Of doing APP
parenrIy the chances are about even for
the Democrats to carry the Legislature
and send Ifessrs. Kenney and Salisbury

EDuoAr1oN AND LARoR.

About July ] there viii enter the ser
vice Of the Santa F'e mechanical depart
ment six young college men who are to
be rated as special apprentices. They
viii differ from the ordinary machinist
apprentices in that they have attended
some technical schools, where they have
devoted particular attention to their me-
chanical studies. and in that they win
be required to serve only three instead
Of four years time apprenticeship, and
finally they will receive about one-fourth
better wages than the boys who have
not been in school.
This is new and commendable move
ment on the part Of the railroad and is
due largely to the planning of George
r. Henderson, the efficient and vigorous
superintendent of motive power, who is
a great believer in the part that college
or some kind of mind training is to do
for the tradesman Mr. Henderson him
self once worked at the bench of the
Pennsylvania road, and studied hard at
night on topics, the same as puzzle
students right now But through his
persistence in that which be began TO
the end he has received his reward. and
is free in his praises of the results
which his study have brought him.
1t is coming to be a fact more potent
than many people are able to realize
that education is d factor to be counted
upon when railroad companies begin
rating the value of their employees.
Scarcely any of the men at the head
of the great transportation corporations
of the country deny that they would
rather have a boy who has devoted some
time in his life to studying than the
one who has not provided the two are
equal in their natural gifts. At first it
may take the school bred boy or man
a little while to get started but after
the race is we'll under way those who
have watched it say that the student
/ shows signs Of possessing certain re-
sources which the other man has not
and which seems to be augmented as
the struggle goes on. until the one who
| has studied comes out clearly ahead It
is the purpose Of no one to disparage
/ the value Of practical things, but uniting
them with a degree Of the technical
makes a strong combination Tt is from
this class Of men that the railroads are
! planning to draw many of their future
/ foremen and other officials in the me
chanical department, provided they
/ prove themselves equal in other ways
to the less fortunate men who have moi
/ applied themselves to study.
