MISSISSIPPI BOATS.

Queer Craft That PLY the Upper
Reaches Of the River.
est. Paul is at the head Of naviga-
ton on the Mississippi
THAT sentence from the old geog-
raphy stands out vividly in my memo
ry," says John Swain in Ainslee's. I'm
boyhood I pictured throngs Of smok-
ing steamers plowing up to the wharfs
Of this Minnesota city. OF course in
the winter they would be frozen out,
but in summer and through the au-
tumn, when the grain crop was NOV
ing, I imagined barges of wheat and
corn, steamers loaded with flour and
all the incidentals Of the commerce Of
the northwest.
"But there are limitations to that
navigation on the upper Mississippi
which the geography failed to men,
ton. This young man Mississippi
spreads out valiantly to fill big chan
mel. He receives the floods Of the ST..
Croix and lower down o. the Wiscon-
sin, but still he is, after all, only a
young fellow, and when he aspires to
spread he becomes as other young
many times in the year the visitor to
st. Paul and to the river below 1t, es-
pecially at that time Of the year when
the crops are moving, will wait in vain
for a steamer to st. Louis and will find
lodges of rock and blg sandbars OBJ
structing the channel so that raft
would have difficulty in moving down
stream. For months Of the year no
steamers come to St. Paul, and only
when there Is a fairly good stage can
the steamers of the Diamond 10 line
work their slow way up from Daven-
port, as a connection with the world
below.
"Such steamers as they are too.
There have been jokes without num-
that can run on heavy dews and that
are said to be built of iron, unpainted,
because on damp days the iron will
sweat enough to allow them to run. 1t
has been said that at times the pilot
sends a man ahead with a sprinkling
can to wet down sandbars and that a
tub of water and a hose are kept on
deck for use in emergencies. OF course
these are wild exaggerations, but, as
a matter Of fact, the steamer that can
not run on 18 inches or, at best, on two
feet Of water, must stay on the lower
river. Even there she will have her
troubles. Far below Cairo I have seen
a steamer loaded with 600 bales Of cot
ton and 300 sacks of seed run into a
landing over bar on which there was
but four feet of water. There are long
stretches Of deep water near st. Paul,
to be sure, where boats could draw
many feet, but the river steamer has
to be able to go over reefs and bars,
and of these there are many. For the
rest, they are the same old flimsy, mol
sy, cheap, sternwneelers that were run
in Mark Twain's time before the civil
war"

SwAYED BY ELooUENcE.-Repres
who Is serving his first term in con-
gress, and by virtue of that fact and
his personal popularity is the presi-
dent of the Tantalus club, tells a good
story to Illustrate his indecision upon
the big questions of public policy which
came up for consideration in the
house.
II come into the house." said Mr.
Powers the other day, land 1 listen to
some man making a speech upon one
side of an important proposition, and
he is so eloquent and logical l am al
most convinced that he is right and
that should vote as he advises. The
next member who commands attention
is a fellow who takes a position exact
ly opposite and his reasoning is SO
sound that / nave to admit that he is
right.
Thus my decision swings from one
side to another like a pendulum. My
attitude is very much like that Of a
juror up in Massachusetts, who served
in case l was once interested in.
1T was the first time that the man
had ever served in that capacity. The
jury, after listening to the arguments
of counsel, retired and deliberated for
a long time. Finally they reported
that it would be impossible for them to
reach an agreement.
when they filed in from the jury
room the court was much displeaSed
and proceeded to lecture them rather
severely for their failure to agree.
"'Why, your honor exclaimed the
new juryman, how i'm the world do you
expect the members of the jury to
agree when the lawyers in the case
can't agree themselves?'

Unique Cleveland Candidate Closes
Cincinnati Tent Meetings.
Cincinnati, Oct. 25.-Mayor Tom L.
Johnson of Cleveland. who is recog-
nized as the leader of the Democratic
campaign in Ohio this year. although
himself not candidate at this time for
anything, closed his stand l three
days here tonight with another
crowded tent. He had meetings this
afternoon and evening in different
parts of the city, and at all the rallies
denounced John r. Mclean, both as a
leader of the Democracy and as pub
Usher of the Enquirer. The meetings in
Mr.. .Tohnson's tents here this week
have intensified fractional feeling be-
yond anything of the kind ever known
before in Ohio campaigns. Rev.
Herbert S. Bigelow. who heads
the Democratic state ticket for Secre-
tary of State, and who has appeared
with Mr.. johnson at his Cincinnati
meetings, was equally severe in read
ing Mr.. Mclean and the Enquirer out
of the party, and more severe than Mr..
Johnson in denouncing Lewis G. Ber-
nard, chairman of the Democratic
Committee of this county. Mr.. Bige-
low declared tonight that he would
not accept the office if he should be
elected by Bernard's vote.

THE MINERS.
Estimated Output Yesterday Placed
Mt 100000 Tons.

Mt 100000 Tons.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 25.-To-day
saw a further increase of coal produc-
ton in the anthracite coal region. The
estimated output is 10000 tons. The
increase came mostly from collieries
that have been in operation since
Thursday, and which are in good con-
dition. The largest output came from
the mines of the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western and the Delaware and
Hudson. Reports received show that
fourteen additional mines were started
up to-day Four of these were in the
Schuylkill region, and the balance in
the Lackawanna and Wyoming re-
gions. The number of men and boys
at work to-day is placed at $1,000.
By Monday it is believed 80 per cent.
of the mines will be in operation. All
the collieries where water has not ac-
cumulated in large quantities are now
in shape to receive the full working
force.
President Mitchell was busy to-day
getting ready for his trip to Washing
ton. He declined to discuss the action
of the independent operators in the
Lehigh region, who insist on their
miners signing certain agreements.
Nearly all of the coal and iron police
men, who were hired by the coal COM
panies when the strike began, have
been paid off and dismissed.

Martin, the Slayer of Adams, Finally
Released From Bondage.
Washington, Oct. 25.-The President
granted Communication of sentence in the
case of Joe Martin, convicted in the
western district of Arkansas of the
murder of Ernest Adams, and SEN
fenced to be hanged. President Harri-
son committed the sentence to imprison-
ment for life in the Ohio penitentiary,
where the prisoner has been confined
ever since. The President has COM
muted the sentence to term of i'm
prisonment to expire to-day. He grant
ed this communication upon the recon-
mendation of the attorney general,
who, after an examination of
the testimony and records,
reached the conclusion expressed by
President Harrison at the time he COM
muted the death penalty that there
was no evidence to prove premeditat-
ed murder in this case, and that the
probability is that even If Martin kill
ed Adams, he did so in self defense.
Dora Martin, the prisoners daughter,
who has been in Washington for some
days watching the proceedings in her
fathers case, leaves tonight for the
West, bearing the official warrant for
his release.
Charles Newberry was convicted in
the western district of Virginia for
resisting revenue officers, and with
three co-defendants was sentenced to
Imprisonment for ten years in the West
Virginia penitentiary. 1t appears that
this prisoner was a mere boy at this
time, and while he was present with mis-
co-defendants, he took no active part
in the affair. The President granted
communication to two years and a
half, which will release the prisoner
on April /, 1903.
