A number of the leading men in the tea trade don't intend to have the war
 duty of ten cents a pound on tea repeal ed if they can prevent it. A petition has been filed with Chairman Payne of the Ways and Means Committee by several New York tea merchants in which the following argument is made:
 For many years prior to the imposition of the tea duty those in the tea business were almost unanimous in requesting congress to impose tax of from ten to fifteen cents per pound, and now that the trade has practically adapted itself to the present position, any change would be disturbing and harmful in our opinion, the duty has not interfered with or curtailed the consumption of tea. the average price to the consumer showing slight, if any, advance. It was 1lrged before your committee four years back that the producing markets would bear fully one-half of the duty, and this has proven to be approximately correct A removal of the tax would result in the foreign powers reaping the benefit of a corresponding advance in price.

The bitter attacks of the clerical press of Mexico on the United States shows no signs of abatement The Mexican Herald says: "When Ameri- can Catholic prelates visit this country they receive a cool, yea, even glacial reception, and feel even to the marrow of their bones the anti Yankee preju- dice which the clerical papers are so in dustrious in promoting. The clerical Journals here are continually unhappy about the American people Sometimes they remark on the Yankee barba- rians,' and it seems to relieve their feel ings and their livers for a few days. But the bad mood returns and gloom and rath prevail again. What is the matter? Is it envy mediaeval spite or just plain liver complaint? Why write so vehemently against great and free people who let one anothers religion alone and go about their business like men?"

It isn't the season for fish stories but it is related that man the other day caught a pickerel in the Susque- hanna river, and when dressing the fish he found gold ring which on being polished proved to be an engagement ring that an angry swain had thrown into the river at Susquehanna, Pa, in 1885. forty miles from the place where the pickerel was caught, The youth and his sweetheart quarrelled when walking beside the river. She returned the engagement ring, and he was so incehsed that he threw it away. They made up their differences, married and now reside at Mansfield, Ohio. The ring has been sent to them by the finder. who strangely enough is the Husbands cousin.

But MT Marconi says that messages can only be caught and read when the receiver and trans 1nitter are attuned. This attuned sys- tenn as perfected is not at present in use on ships It has been deemed nec- assary that each ship should be equip ped with apparatus which will permit of their reading a message sent from any other ship, because of the possibility of aid being required in case of danger.

Saturday. The meeting had been gener-
ally advertised throughout the country,
but there were present only about fifty
proper, and half of these were staunch
Democrats, who were on the scene main
ly to see what took place The conven-
tion was calledto order by John Mears.
of Populist fame. After a few brief re-
marks from the chair nominations were
declared in order. Mr.. John Williams
of Elm City, was nominated by acclama-
tion for the House, and Mr.. James W.
NewsOm for the Senate. The nomination
of County Commissioners was then taken
up. Some of those present did not want
to nominate any commissioners, but af-
ter debating the question at length
Messrs. Levin, Watson and L. A Bay
hin were nominated. The other officers
were left open and the executive COM
mittee was in structedto use them as
they thought best
Speech making being now in order
Mr. John Sharpe, known generally in the
county as "Old Gloriful." made a run
ming speech in favor of the Independent
movement. He was followed along the
same line by DR.. Freeman. AS a whole
the meeting was a failure, there being
very little enthusiasm exhibited by any
one. The ticket put out will increase the
Democratic majority in the county. Hon.

TWELVE COLLIERIEs START.
Reports to Mitchell Slow Fewer Men at Work
Now Than asst Week.
(By the Associated Press.)

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 13.-What was
looked upon as an important day in the
matter of resumption of work in the GOAL
mines passed cwithout any serious
trouble, and each side to the controversy
is claiming a victory. Reports received
here from coal companies all over the
region are to the effect that at least
twelve collieries and four washeries
started operations today. President
Mitchell, in a talk with the correspond
ents, asserted that reports received by
him from his lieutenants in the field
showed fewer men were at work today
than last week.
1t is quite evident that extra efforts
were made on both sides to gain an sd
vantage. The soldiers OF the Third Bri-
gade> We're sent into the outlying mining
towns in this region long before start
ing up time to patrol the roads Leading
ton the collieries In some places the
soldiers were scattered in twos and threes
along streets and on street corners, but
they were not compelled to rescue any
one from strikers. The company super
intendents are authority for the state
ment that for the past two days the mine
workers nave been again making house
to house canvasses over the entire ter
ritory. holding themen in line, and If 1T
were not for this method they would
have been a large increase in the num-
bor of employees at work.
In an interview tonight, President
Mitchell summed up the general situa-
ton as follows:
II have heard from every point in the
coal region today and my information is
to the effect that fewer men were at work
today than were last week. There were
desertions from the camps at Scranton,
HazeIton. the Panther Creek Valley, and
Shamokin. The report that twelve col
Iieries resumed operations is not true"

Mr.. George F. Baer, president of the
Reading Railroad also was here, but he
could not be found.
Shortly after going to his room, Mr..
Morgan came downstairs and left the
hotel for the temporary White House,

THE CAR STRIKE ENDS
The Union Accepts the Gov
ernor'S UItimatum and
Return TO Work.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, La, Oct. 19.-The street
car strike, inaugurated by the dissatis-
fed employees of the New Orleans Rail-
ways Company, was settled here last
night. the Car Mems Union unanimously
accepting the Governors ultimatum on a
secret ballot.
The basis of settlement was that the
men would go back to work this morning
at twenty cents and ten hours with a
minimum of seven and half hours day,
no discrimination to be made against
any of the men under charges, and Sc
many to be taken back as are needed for
the operation of the company's line.
Street car traffic was partially re-
sumed today, the last differences between
the officials and the Car Mems Union
having been settled this morning. The
names of the strikers charged with OBJ
structing the United States mail cars
during the strike have been submitted to
the United States grand jury. The men
were ordered to give $1,000 bond each.

THEY REMAIN OBSTINATE
To Ignore Propositions Involving Ten
Per Cent Increase.
MORGAN HAS TAKEN NO ACTIVE PART
TIE Regular Weekly Meeting Of the Operators
TO be Held Today. Whether Anything
Definite will Result is Matter
Of Conjecture.
(By the Associated Press }

New York. Oct. 13.-No settlement of
the strike in the anthracite coal regions
has been reached, and according to the
statements of three leading operators, no
reasonable basis has vet been suggested
to them. Any proposition embracing a
ten per cent increase will be ignored. 1t
was another busy day for the operatO $.
Before noon all of them except President
Baer, were in conference at the office of
the Erie road. Their talk lasted over an
hour, but no statement was made for pub
lication.
Following this conference, Chairman
Thomas. of the Erie road, and President
Truesdale. of the Lackawanna. We're
closeted with ]. p. Morgan at the latter S
office. Mr.. Morgan would not talk about
the situation. nor would he say anything
regarding Secretary Roots visit to him
last Saturday.
In spite of the countless reports to the
contrary, there is the best authority for
stating that Mr.. Morgan has up this
time taken no active part in any settle
ment negotiations. He believes that the
matter rests with the coal presidents. and
is reported to have said as much to
President Roosevelt through Secretary
Root last Saturday
humms that the strike was ended were
heard IN fnanciaA circles. and in the
cloing hour the stocksmar kess. rallied yery
generally from itss early depression
These rumors were circulated for the
most part by brokerage houses with
western connections. The conservative
element paid little heed, and denials of a
settlement were authorized by repre-
sentatlves of the Lackawanna and the
Ontario and Western railroads.
In all probability the operators will
hold their regular weekly meeting in this
city tomorrow. President Baer' is expect
ed to attend. Whether or not this meet
ing will produce any results, is at this
time matter OF conjecture.

TEE ASSISTANT TRAIN MURDERERs,
The Younger Cole and Jones Brought to the
Pen Mitchell Getting Well

fenced for thirty years each for their
connection with the murder of Roadmas-

were tied with another negro, sent up
for a year for larceny, and they looked
merry while he appeared sad. The ell
der Cole is to be hanged on the 2Gth OF

WARNING OF WATSON
Supreme Courts DiCtum in
GreenviIIe School
Cases.
Especial to News and Observer

Kinston, N. c., Oct. 13-Hon. C. B.
Watson spoke at Greenville today to an
audience of five hundred representative
farmers and business men of Pitt county.
His speech was along the line of those
previously reported with perhaps a stron-
ger emphasis than formerly on the ne
cessity for a united, unbroken charge on
the demoralized ranks of disorganized
Republicans of the east to offset the solid
organization headed by Federal office
holders and so-called Independents, but
really Republican allies of the west.
His congratulations to Pitt county De-
mocracy on the failure, after two efforts
of the Republican scheme to nominate
even a mongrel ticket in this county,
brought rounds of applause, the informa-
tion being given by an enthusiastic Dem
ocrat that there were only fOrty-five Re-
publicans in the county after the negro
became eliminated.
Speaking of the education Of the negro,
Mr.. Watson declared that unless the de-
Cision of the Supreme court in the Green
willie school cases that the educational
fund should be divided equally per capita
among the races was unsound, the ineyi-
table effect would be to give negroes
eight months school and whites only four.
This result, he said, would be so un-
just he was afraid it would lead to an
overwhelming increase in the ranks OF
those who were advocating an entire
separation of the school fund. This he
did not favor and to avoid it an amend
ment to the constitution putting the same
construction on the present constitution
as that put by the Attorney General, Su-
perintendent of Public instruction and
Democratic State platform, would be alb
solutely necessary.
1t was noticeable that portions of his
speech on this subject and the efforts by
independentism to divide Democrats pro-
duced the greatest applause.
His discussion of the allied trust and
tariff questions was very able and his
discussion of Senator Pritchard's argu>
ment and position gave evident satisfac-
tion. Mr.. Watson made a fine speech and
greatly pleased the large number who
heard him. 1t was his first appearance
here and he was the recipient of number
less courtesies and congratulations He
drove through the country to Washington
to speak tonight

AT THE END OF HIS ROPE.
Roosevelt can do no More now. HOPES That
the Operators May Bring About q
Settlement
by the Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. 13-Nothing has been
about the coal strike in Washington to-
day The appeals made to both miners
and operators having proved unavailing
there is nothing further in the way OF
persuasion that the President can do. II
also has been demonstrated that no legal
measures can be taken. No doubt some
I recommendation of the President will be
contained in his annual message to Con-
gress. By that time, he will have furth-
er information on the situation, which
will be gathered by Carroll d. Wright,
Commissioner of Labor, and such other
men as may be designated to assist him
in ascertaining the actual situation III
the mining regions.
While there is nothing tangible in sight
here, there is a possibility that the
strike may be settled by forces at work
in New York and elsewhere. 1t is un-
derstood that powerful influences are be-
ing exerted to this end. There is reu-
son to believe that the coal operators
may bring about a settlement and make
it appear that no outside influence either
bv the President or Governor Odell and
the Senators from Pennsylvania and New
York was effective.
