TOWING HAwsER SNAPPED
Steamer Unable to Rescue the
 :Unfortunates.
Hope Not Abandoned by Captain, Darkness Game on and It Was 7 Impossible to Distinguish
 the Vessels.

New York, Feb. l.-There is every reason to believe that three barges coal
 laden from Newport News for Boston have been lost at sea as a result of the storm on Sunday night and that thirteen people comprising the crews have perish- cd. The barges were the Antelope. Belle of Oregon and Mystic Belle. They were in tow of the tug Richmond and tks finding of piece of wreckage bearing the letters O.. P. E." lends confrmatioa ts other information at hand.
 During the height of the blow, tho Ricbmond's heavy towing hawser snapped and the barges went adrift on Eirs Island. The tug Richmond belongs to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com pany. Agent willett of that company says that Sunday afternoon the Rioh- mond. in command of Captain McConneN left New York bay with three barges in tow coal laden. Each barge had on board three men. Besides these thers were Captain Miller and his wife. who acted as cook on the barge Antelope. Captain Harding of the Belle of Oregon and Captain Rodgers on the Mystic Belle a total of thirteen persons.
 Agent Willet was in telephone commu- nication this afternoon with Captain Me- Cornell who had reached Newport. R. l. The barges, he said. were well out to sea at 6 o'clock Sunday night of Long Island coast. The rope from the for ward barge parted and the barges were blown away from tiae tug. Captain Mo- Connell said he did not give up the hope of rescuing the men on the barges until it became too dark for him to distin- guish them. The tug then made for Newport.
 Captain Mcconnell thinks the barges and those aboard of them have been lost.

half an ounce of absolute alcohol may

obvious from this result, we think that
very appreciable amount of alcohol

of eight hours in such air. And since
the alcohol by the medium of the lungs

ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Fudge Coxe's Decision as to Green
Tea Law

New York, Oct 24.-In the United states
Circuit Court here Judge Coke has rem
dered an opinion in case that has at
tracted wide attention in the tea trade
The Courts decision was in favor OF the
defendant, former Collector of Customs
Bidwell.
The suit was over some country green
teas which had been imported here, and
the action was brought to test the con-
stitutionality of the tea standard act of
March 2, 1897, and also the right of the
Secretary of the Treasury. and this act
was constitutional to fix such high stand
ards below which all teas were not al
lowed to enter this country.
The standard established in 1901 was
much higher than prior to that time.
The plaintiff imported a lot of country
green tea, which was admitted to be be-
low that standard, but which was claimed
20 be too high. The plaintiffs attacked
Khe constitutionality Of an act that ex-
eiuded a wholesome article. That was
the first point; the second was that If the
kea standard were constitutional the
Secretary Of the Treasury had acted I'M
reasonably in selecting SO high stand
nrd.
The government asked for and was CIV
IN q verdict on the ground that the plain
kiffs had not made out a case.

DUN'S REVIEW.

weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
No better evidence of industrial and

ent inadequate transportation tacillues.
Every form of railway equipment from
track to rolling stock has been created
and perfected during the past few years
to an extent that appeared almost ex-
cessive yet the nations business has more
than kept pace Unseasonably mild
weather has retarded retail trade at many
points yet the movement OF goods Is
fully sustained by undiminished prepar-
atIons for future sale. Distribution de-
layed by high temperature Is not lost,
while the agricultural community VIII
profit very materially by the hardness
of frost, increasing their ability to con-
sumo the products of factories and mills.
Labor is more fully employed than at
any recent date, only a few small con-
troversies interrupting. Money market
pressure has been removed and legitimate
trade is not retarded by quiet specula-
ton. Earnings of the railways during
October thus far exceed last years by
45 per cent, and those of 1900 by 1910
per cent.

There can be little doubt that the air

New Orleans. Oct. 24.-An interesting

Hogs-Bipedal and Quadrupedal.

Boston Advertiser.
The report from the West that the beef
trust is short of hogs is important if
true. Some folks may say, sarcastically
that 1t is impossible, because there Is an
inexhaustible supply IN the personnel of
the trust itself. Bat this is not so. The
pork market demands a great number of
hogs of medium size. not a few immense
ones. Prize pigs will do for exhibition
at agricultural fairs, but they do not
make good eating"
There is a substantial difference be-
tween the conditions which control the
supply of hogs to the stock yards and
those which control the supply of fat
beef cattle. The latte come, in the first
place. from the far West and South
western cattle ranges, which are rapidly
falling into the hands of the Armours,
the Swifts and their two or three fellow
magnates. But hogs are furnished to the
market by individual farmers, of whom
there are tens of thousands scattered on
independent freeholds all over the great
Mississippi corn belt" Hogs cannot be
produced profitably in great herds. If
there is a scarcity at Chicago and Kan
sas City, II is probably because there Is
a determination in Oshkosh and Kanka-
kee to take advantage of the prevalent
high prices of other kinds of animal food

1t is still conspicuous in the cotton
goods market that the buyers are slow to
anticipate future requirement, apparent
ly having confidence in cheaper raw ma
terials. Yet many lines are now below
parity with the raw cotton market,
which is a steady absorption for imme-
date requirements which prevents any
accumulation Of supplies, and the mar
ket must be considered in good condi-
ton, since 1t Is obvious that much future
business Is only awaiting something more
definite as to raw cotton. Only small
trade Is reported in heavy brown sheet

ers being practically out of the market.
Further sale of print cloths are reported.

DIED UNDER WHEELS.
Ignatz Butter Had Just Effected Re-
Cancellation With Brother.


New York, Oct. A.--Just when Ignatz
Butter of Newark was preparing to re-
turn to Germany to be reconciled to his
brother, with whom he quarreled fourteen
years ago, he was killed by train and
his body now lies in the morgue at
Orange, n. j.
Butter and an elder brother were officers
in the same regiment in the German
army. They were members of a wealthy
family of the German arstocracy. Four
teen years ago they quarreled and Ignatz
thrust his sword into the body of his
brother inflicting a serious wound. Ar
rest, court martial and a sentence of
seven years followed. The wounded man
recovered. Ignatz was soon relieved
from the military prison and came to
America.
For several years he subsisted by
painting. Recently he became reconciled
to the brother and funds were sent him
to pay his way back to Germany. He
