The effects of the coal strike, which
has taxed the ingenuity of both capital
lists and labor leaders to bring to q
satisfactory conclusion, are being felt
everywhere. The Navy Department has
its share of troubles. and If it were not
for immense ccal supplies which the de-
partment has stored at the various coal
ing stations and deposits everywhere.
the situation might be regarded as very
serious. Luckily, there is no war in
sight. which would put the Government
in dilemma, at least SO far as the
coal supply is concerned.
The Secretary of the Navy, not know

terms, has addressed Mr.. Tracewell,
Comptroller of the Treasury. and asked
him for advice as to what TO do in the

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-Two men wear
ing United States Navy uniforms were
in the Yorkville police court today

rested in front of the Vanderbilt house
at Fifth Avenue and Fifty-eighth Stree;
by Policeman James Barry, whom they
had asked for money. Barry had been
notified by the charity organization So
ciety to be on the lookout for beggars
who wore Uncle Sans uniform,
Miss Anderson. an agent OF the So
ciety, went to the Brooklyn navy yard
and saw the commandant there He said
he hoped the court would punish the
beggars. ii they did not belong 20 the
navy. and If they were real seamen the
Navy Department would punish them
He sent two petty officers to the court
to see if they could identify them, but
they could not.
The sailors gave the names OF James
Walsh and George Miller The latter
said in court that he had deserted from
the Essex six weeks ago. Walsh de-
clared that he had deserted from the
Columbia at the Brooklyn navy yard FIVE
weeks ago.
The two men finally admitted that
they were not real sailors. and the
magistrate committed them TO the work
house for six months each.

Initial Show.

The Empire Family Theater will oper
its season tonight with Hoyt's a
Stranger in New York presented by
what the management claims to be a
most excellent company of twenty-five
people. This comedy will be remem-
hered as one of the best of Hoyts many
efforts, full OF snappy. crisp dialogue
of the kind that entertains.
1t will be given an entirely new pro-
duction here. both from scenic and
costuming standpoint.
The Empires new scale of prices goes
into effect tonight. 10, 20, 30, and sc
cents.
Hoyt's plays have never before been
seen in this country at such low prices,
and if the productions are what is

the best business of its career. On

Contracts Not Filled.

The Navy Department. on June is,
1901, made contract with the
Beech Creek and Coke Company
for the delivery of 5000 tons of
Clearfield coal at the League Island
Navy Yard during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1902. The coal was not delivered
according to the provisions of the con-
tract. and the Secretary of the Navy
has requested the decision OF the
Comptroller or the Treasury as to
whether the contractors may be called
Upon to furnish during the present fiscal
year the coal required but not delivered
under the contract for the fiscal year
ended June 80 1902.
Mr.. Traceweli said in his decision, in
part: There Goes not appear to be any
question involved in the case which
have authority to decide. unless de
liveries are in fact made during the
present fiscal year under the contract.
If the contract was properly entered
into during the fiscal year ended Jun2
so. 1902 for the needs of that year. and
deliveries are hereafter made under the
contract. payment would have to be
made according to the terms OF the con.
tract and from the appropriation for the
fiscal year for which the contract was
made
Not Case for Comptroller.
1T is rot material that deliveries
which should tave been made for the
fiscal wear 1902 are not made until after
the expiration of that fiscal year. Pay
ment should be made from the appro
rriation for the fiscal year for the need
of which the contract was made.
Whether the Government, under the
has legal right to COM
pei the delivery of the remainder of the
coal. Notwithstanding the termination
of the period during which delivery
should have been made. is a question
which I am without authority to decide,
since it's termination the one way or ;he
other would not involve the expenditure
OF public money, except indirectly, as
above indicated"
About eleven days prior to the ex
piration of the fiscal year, and while
some $500 tons of coal were due, under
the contract, a call was made on the
for the remainder OF the
GOAL due. This they refused to deliver,
except, perhaps, small portion there
Of. upon the ground of the shortness of
he notice and of the existence of labor
troubles in the coal fields.
They propose now, however, to deliv-
,r 400 tons in the next two months, in
siew of the amount due. or to deliver the
whole amount in reasonable quantities
Turing the coming year.

Hampton the Democrat.

CnlCaSO CnTOulCle.
 If it be agreed that neither NTillman nor McLaurin is a Democrat, and If one were asked to cite South Carolinian justly entitled to that title the name Of the venerable Wade Hampton would come instantly to the mind, filling every re- quirement and at the same time proving the falsity of the claims of Ttllman and McLaurin. General Hampton Is living in goods of this world but rich in the admt- ration of his fellow citizen.
 Some time ago when 1t was proposed to raise by public subscription enough money to purchase him home he put an end to the movement by declaring that he was, content to live and die in the humble dwelling which he had prepared for himself and that he would accept no other that he was not able to provide for out of his own means. In like man. ner an offer of an office at the hands of Republicans was courteously but firmly refused. Was there anything in the rav- ening and vindictive populistic Democ- racy of Tillman. a Democracy which is looking for State help rather than at tempting to promote self help, which would have declined the one. and was there anything in the commercial de- docracy," the trading Democracy, of Mo Laurin which would have rejected the other?
 Every consideration of wisdom, patri- otism and clean politics condemns both Tillman and McLaurin and the corrupt Republicanism which has demoralized them. There will be no better Republi- canism in the land until there is bet ter democracy.

PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR
On Census Director by Clerks Who
 Want to Hold Positions.

Want to Hold Positions.
 Washington Special to Louisville Courier
 Journal.
 Director Merriam of the Census Bureau is passing through a storm rarely equaled by that which meets an incoming Presi- dent. His office Is daily crowded with members of the Senate and House trying to secure the retention of clerks, many of whom will have to be dismissed from the service within the next few days. II Is the desire of the executive branch of the Government to make the number of employees carried over to the new re- gime as small as possible, and so the dismissals are coming in considerable blocks. The pressure instituted by the clerks themselves to avert the calamity of dismissal. or if it once fails to secure Its reversal, is intensified by the belief that life position in the Government service depends upon holding on until the new law becomes operative.
 MT. Merriam is/accordingly besieged by the friends of every clerk in the of- flee, combined with those who have met with dismissal and wish to be reinstated Many of the clerks who will be able to hold on until the President approves the law will also sever their connection with the Census Bureau only by receiving eligibility to transfer to some other de- pertinent. Their status will then be sim liar to those who have passed the civil service examination and are eligible to appointment, which only comes after a long wait.
