RECALLING TROOPS.
Civil Authorities Can Now Take
Care of Anthracite District.

Care of Anthracite District.
Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 24.-General
orders for the withdrawal of the
troops in the anthracite coal regions
were issued by Gov. Stone to Maj. Gen.
Miller to-day. The orders do not state
the time and the manner of withdraw
ing the troops, but it is expected by
the state authorities to bring all of
them home, with the possible excep-
ton of two or three regiments, before
election day. This will avoid the ne
cessity of appointing a commission to
each regiment to take the votes of the
soldiers in the field and the preparation
of special form of ballots. Gov. Stones
order to Gen. Miller contains the fol-
lowing:
The purpose for which the division
National Guard of Pennsylvania was
placed on duty in the several counties
OF the state embraced within what is
known as the anthracite coal regions,
having been accomplished and peace
and order having been restored in the
several communities, and it being evil
dent that the local civil authorities will
be enabled to preserve the peace and
give the necessary and proper protec-
ton to life and property, the major
general commanding division National
Guard of Pennsylvania will relieve the
troops now on duty and return the sew
eral organizations to their respective
nome rendezvous as promptly as condi-
tons will permit"

ROYALTY ON VIEW.
King Edward VIII Progress
Through LOndon's Streets To-day.

King Edward VIII Progress
Through LOndon's Streets To-day.
London, Oct. 24.-The royal progress
through London tomorrow, which has
been arranged at considerable expense
with the object of allaying the disap-
pointment caused by the abandonment
of the second days procession at the
time of King Edwards coronation,
promises to be less a fashionable than
a popular display. The route is fairly
profusely dotted with Venetian masts
and the habitual greyness of the
streets is relieved by flags, festoons
and garlands of paper flowers while
few of the more ambitious districts
have erected arches.
Much curiosity has been aroused by
the disappearance of the names of the
Kings daughters from the list of those
participating in the procession. Neither
the Princess of Wales, Fife nor
Charles of Denmark are included in
the latest official programme, though
they appeared in the earlier ones.

of Duty on Porto Rican Goods.

TObaccO Importers Sue for Recovery
of Duty on Porto Rican Goods.
New York, Oct. 24-Action has been
commenced in the United States Cir
cult Court against George r. Bidwell,
the former collector of the port, in be-
half of Levi Blumensteil & Co., tobac-
co importers, of this city. The COM
paint states that the compliments i'm
ported tobacco and cigars from Porto
Rico, and despite their protests, Col
1ector Bidwell assessed duty upon the
goods. The sum of $2,02S.4S was paid
on the goods in question under pro-
test. The contention is made that the
assessment is a direct violation of the
United States constitution, which pro-
vides that all goods not coming from a
foreign port should be admitted duty
free.
1t is said the suit was brought to
test the constitutionality of the law,
and that as soon as a verdict can be
had in the Circuit Court the matter
will be appealed to Washington to the
Supreme Court of the United States
for a final ruling.

savnnts Studying New German State
SANTA rum.

Berlin, Oct. 24.-The delegates to the
International tuberculosis Convention
spent the day studying the sanitarium
which is being built at Belitz, near
Potsdam. This institution is unique in
Europe. 1t is one of the governments
socialistic ideas. A group of model
buildings is being erected in pine
woods, costing $4,000, 900, from working
mems insurance FUNDS. The institution,
which is now partially occupied, ac-
commodities 600 persons. The sanitar-
ium was designed for restoring persons
threatened with disability. The maxi
mum period of their stay is fourteen
weeks, during which they have plenty
of fresh air, good food, medical atten-
ton, amusements and all the advant-
ages of holiday. The theory on which
the state maintains the institution is
that it is an economic duty to restore
health to the head of a family or any
skilled workman.

MINING MORE COAL

Anthracite Region - President
MITCHELL Continues Reticent.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 24.-There
mere twenty-five more mines in opera
+ion in the anthracite region to-day
than Yesterday and the output will be
close to 100000 tons. This is as near
DC can be estimated. From reports re-
ceived the total output yesterday did
not exceed $4,000 tons. When in full
operation the mines employed in every
capacity about 1851 900 men and boys.
of this number, it is estimated that
81 900 we're at work to-day. A more
amicable feeling prevailed to-day be-
tween employer and employee than yes
terday. The excitement over the COM
mencement of work yesterday wore off
somewhat today. In other words, there
was more work and less talk.
Fewer complaints were received at
President Mitchell's headquarters. The
non-union men, despite what may be
said to the contrary, are slowly being
displaced at many of the mines and the
old employees are taking their places.
The trouble with the individual opera
tors in the Lehigh region is expected
10 blow over in a day or two, and 1t
is said here on good authority tonight
that all collieries in the Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions that are in condi-
ton to mine will resume next Monuay
and that all the union miners Will be
re-employed.
President Mitchell continues reticent
and refuses to be quoted on any move
made by the operators, either regard
ing the treatment of old employees or
the advanced price of coal. The evil
dence which he will present to the Ar
bitration Committee is now being ar
ranged in systematic form. Mr..
Mitchell has received a call to Wash
ington, and will leave here Sunday aft
ernoon.
