FOR EXTRA SESSION.
Public Alliance in Pennsylvania
Makes Urgent Appeal to
Governor Stone.

A special from Harrisburg, Pa,
says: The conference committee OF
the Peoples alliance, appointed at
their convention at Hazleton a week
ago, appeared before Governor Stone
Thursday afternoon and submitted a
plan for effecting a settlement Of the
anthracite strike.
Their plan consists Of calling an
extra session Of the legislature to en-
act laws for compulsory arbitration,
better control of foreign corporations
doing business in Pennsylvania, and
enforcing the sixteenth and seven
teenth articles of the constitution.
Daniel J. Mccarthy, Of Hazleton.
said the alliance repl esented the busi-
ness people Of the hard coal districts,
and that Its purpose was to secure
settlement OF the strike. There was
no sign Of a settlement, and the only
hope OF bringing about an end to the
strike was an extra session OF the leg
islature for the enactment OF legisla-
ton that will end the present strike
and prevent strikes in the future.
Mr.. Mccarthy suggested that II an
extra session is held some action
should be taken to curb the great for.
eign corporations which are doing bus
mess in Pennsylvania. He named the
beef trust, the steel trust and other
large corporations because Of the al.
legged high prices which they charged
for their products. Mr.. Mccarthy fur.
ther said:
president Baer, Of the Philadelphia
and Reading company, is the creature
Of J. Pierpont Morgan and the latter
should be forced to arbitrate the
strike. A load Of coal cannot BE-
bought in the coal region at present
from any Of the large coal corpora
tions at any price. If the legislation IS
enacted, which the alliance recon-
mends, It will bring the strike to an
end and prevent strikes In the future"
Mr.. Mccarthy argued that the pres
ens difficulty in the coal region comes
through the gross mismanagement OF
the great coal corporations. None OF
them, be said, pay a dividend, while
the individual operators are all making
money and getting rich. Relief can
be granted, he continued, by legisla-
ton
T. C. Parker, Of Wilkesbarre, said
the conditions in the antracite regions
are horrible in q commercial way and
hundreds OF people are being forced
to leave that locality because OF unfort-
unate conditions The best residents
are going away, leaving the region
with a remnant Of undesirable people.
The only remedy, he said, is an ex-
ira session of the legislature for the
enactment Of laws that will settle the
trouble to the satisfaction OF all con-
cerned.

Circuit Attorney.

A special from st. Louis says: So
desperate have the boodlers become
owing to the merciless crusade Of Cir
cult Attorney Folk, that 1t is rumored
a plot has beer. formed to assassinate
that official.
The first inkling of the plot was
made known Thursday, but only slight
credencs was given to the rumor. An
investigation was started, however,
and Friday positive evidence was So
cured that the circuit attorneys life
Is menaced by the desperate men who
have robbed the city and fattened on
public plunder or the dishonesty Of
tho city's servants. It was demon
strated that conspiracy was on foot
to murder tho man who has already
sent two Of their number to the peni
tsntiary and threatens the liberty and
entire careers Of a score.
There was a hurried consultation in
Mr.. Folks Office when he appeared
Friday morning. The chief Of police
laid before him the evidence Of tho
plot. Other city officials were present
and all united strongly in urging Mr..
Folk to consent to being constantly
guarded by one or more armed detec-
tives and to take every pre:aution pos
sible to guard against the knife or bul.
let OF the assassin.
Mr.. Folk strongly objected. He said
that he had no fear for his personal
safety; that boodlers had repeatedly
tried to intirnidate him before and
nothing had come OF It,; that he had
repeatedly served notice on boodlers
through their agents that he was not
afraid Of them, and that he would not

But he was finally persuaded that
he must accept a bodyguard, since he
had undertaken a great public service,

self and his family, to accept protec-
tIon.
Detective McGrath was at once ap-
pointed to guard the circuit attorney,
and will not leave him until all the
boodling cases are ended.
Five policemen were designated to
guard Mr.. Folks house at night, and
Mr.. McGrath is within call Of the cir
cult attorneys bed room.
It is semi-of1cially stated that a
clew to the men who hatched the plot
Is being worked on. and that some
sensational arrests may follow. 1t Is
pointed out that should the circuit at
torney be murdered, some prominent
men who are now in serious jeopardy
OF their liberties and regulations might
escape In the excitement following tho
crime.

vented to take their place. In the en-
tire history of the United States only
three great seals have hitherto been
used in succession, a new one of the
same general pattern as its predecessor
having been cut as each existing one
became worn out. These three were
cut respectively in the years 1882, 1S41
and 1885.
The old worn-out seal now in use In
the State Department was that cut in
1885, when Frederick Frelinghuysen
was Secretary of State under President
Arthur, after the design had first been
submitted to historical scholars and au-

proved by them.

Printing In Persia.

Printing from type in Persia is not
regarded with popularity. This coun-
try is at the present day entirely de-
pendent upon lithography for the ma
tive production of books and journals
which are very rare. A short time ago
a press with movable types was set
up, and upon which certain number
of books was printed. The effort, how
ever, met with no encouragement and
had to be abandoned. The unpopular
ity Of type-printing in Persia is due:
to two principal causes: First, the.
straightness of the lines offends a Per-;
slams artistic sense, and, secondly, IN
printed books the character Of the let
tiers is entirely lost. The Persian
reader prefers a well-written manu-.
script, and, failing this, he contents;
himself with a lithograph, which is us
ually the facsimile of the writing OF
some fairly good scribe.-Seientiftc
