President Roosevelt has now ready

Positive information received Is that
the President has definitely selected
Henry Tichenor, of New York, for
this ofIice. Governor Murphy, Of
Arizona, Is expected to soon retire and
his place. while worth only $4,000 a
year, will have many seekers. OH.

Cubans will continue pecking away
at General Bragg until the President
Is forced to recall him. His place
Is worth $4,000 year. It has been
positivly stated that Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow will be
removed within the next few weeks,
although Bristow says he will not re-
sign. Senators Hanna. Scott and
Elkins have been making a fight to
secure his dismissal. and are seid to
have won. The place pays $4,000 a

TO SETTLE THE STRIKE.
President Roosevelt Will Be Asked to
Summon congress--Arbitration
Impossible.

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 workinmen. A
mass meeting. under the auspices of
the labor unions will be held, at which
resolutions will be adopted urging Mr..
Roosevelt to Immediately call Con-
gress TO meet and decide upon plans
TO bring the strike to q termination.

and requested him TO cooperate with
the Pennsylvania senators in bringing
about settlement of the strike. Mr..
Mitchell said he would do anything
that was honorable TO bring about an
adjustment, and he furnished the com.
mittee with some statistics of the
strike from the miners point of view
which were forwarded to Senator
Quay. Senator Hanna, who arrived in
Buffalo from Niagara Falls. announced
the abandonment finally of all efforts
to end the miners strike. He said :
Il have exhausted my efforts. | have
done all In my power and can do no
more. | will make no further attempt,
for It would be useless" He said
there was no chance of arbitration so
long as only the miners were willing
to arbltrate. 1T will not be a snort
fight" said he. Il talked with Mr..
Morgan before he went to Europe. He
deplored the situation, but would take
no active part toward a settlement.

their plan. The Peoples alliance is
composed of business men and miners.
Reports received at brigade headquar.
ters at Shenandoah showed the entire
anthracite coal field to be very quiet.
Brigadier General Goblin said that a
settlement of the strike appears to
him to be as far off as when he
reached there nearly four weeks ago,
and the troops will in all probability
remain until the strike comes to an
end. The six boys, aged II years, who
say they were kidnapped by detectives
in New York and forced to enter the
Butler washeries near Pittston several
weeks ago, were released from the
colliery by writ of the local courts.
The local strike leaders are providing
for them until arrangements can be
made to send them home.

CONQUERED BUT ARE NOT SUBDUED
FRENCH BATTLE ANNIVERSARY
One Hope Is Observation-Disclosures
OF French Leaders In German
Lorraine Provinces.

The outburst OF French feeling
against Germany that took place at
tho celebration of the anniversary of
the battle Of Mars-La-Tour, France,
fought August l6. 1870, is described
circumstantially by n correspondent
telegraphing from Strasburg. Many
Inhabitants OF Lorraine crossed the
frontier in order TO participate In the
ceremonies. Bishop Turinaz, of
Nancy, addressing these persons,
said: you come across the border
in spite of German cannon and in
spite of the mhappiness hanging
over your provinces to show here. on
French soil. your mistaken fidelity
to the old fatherland. Through your
very presence you ask the silent but
eloquent question: How long shall
we wait for your When will you
come to liberate us?' General Cuny,
who followed said: Comrades of
1870: You have come here in order
TO send fraternal greetings across the
Moselle and Vosges to those whose
hearts remain French, and say to
them that your hope Of the future
which will wipe out the defeats of
the past will never die" General
priant and six Nationalist deputies
were present.

CURRENT TRADE is GOOD.
Volume Ct Business Is Large-Future
Prospects Bright, Liberal Buying
In Leading Markets.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says: Fuel scarcity is still
the one serious industrial handicap.
Protracted idleness at anthracite
mines increased the pressure for soft
coal and coke. and, despite new rec.
ords OF output, deliveries are utterly
inadequate owing to the lack of mo-
tive power. This freight blockade OF
coke trains has closed many furnaces.
while the increasing call for trans.
porting facilities on crop account gives
little prospect of early relief. Not
withstanding the congestion, railway
earnings thus far reported for August
show gains of 3.4 per cent over last
year and IL per cent over 1900.

TAX ON OlEO DEALERS.
Commissioner Makes an Important
Ruling as to Licenses.

The Commissioner Of internal rev.
enue has made a ruling to the effect
that dealers who sell oleomargarine
which paid a tax of two cents a
pound prior to July l, 1902, must take
out license costing $3.50 a year for
wholesalers and s4S year for retail
ers, instead OF 5000 and 50, respectiv-
ely. The new law provides that deal
ers in oleo which paid a higher tax
than one-fourth of cent pound
must pay the higher license rate, and.
as all oleo was taxed two cents a
pound prior to July 1, dealers in the
article made and tax paid before that
date must pay the maximum license
rate. The only dealers who pay the
minimum license rate Of So, anu 5000
year, are those who deal exclusively
in oleo which has paid the tax Of
one-quarter OF cent a pound.
