herents signifies defeat.
Chairman Cade at l o'clock said Il
am more than confident that Mcclure is
elected. We have reports from every
county, and I consider him safe. We
have made gains all day, and reports
from counties where official returns have
not been made are encouraging. hardly

official count although such a thing
might be possible.
Governor Tom Ferguson said tonight
I believe that Mcguire is elected. 1t
may possibly require an official count to
decide the matter. but I hardly think so.
1t will require decided change in sew
eral counties to defeat him now, and this
is improbable"
Ar. Mcclure was at headquarters for
some time tonight and while he has
afways been sanguine. yet the reports re-
ceived were very encouraging to him.
At Il O'Clock he went to his home, being
assured by Chairman Cade and Secretary
Whiting that there is practically no
question about his election.

UNCLE SAM ORDERED TO
REIMBURSE KENTUCKY
Must Pay Blue Grass State for Equip
ping Volunteer Troops for War With
Spain.

Mr.. L. P. Mitchell. Assistant Comp
troller of the Treasury, yesterday rem
dered a decision certifying difference
of $50. .9oO.05 due the State of Kentucky
from the United States for reimburse
ment of expenses incurred in raising,
organizing. supplying, and equipping
the volunteer army for the war with
Spain.
The decision was rendered on the ap-
peal of the State of Kentucky from the
action of the Auditor for the War De-
part1aent in settlement of the claim OF
the State for expenses incurred during
the Spanish war as mentioned above.
The claim was for the sum OF $3.50. .24S.93.
The auditor allowed 67,960.65. The re-
mainder, s122, 2,2SS.2S, was partly disal-
lowed, and partly suspended.
The decision reverses the action OF
the auditor, and allows the claim of
Kentucky under the jurisdiction of the
Comptroller of the Treasury. The bal
ance of the claim. which is comprised
of suspended items, are not within the
jurisdiction of the Colnptroller's office,
and he therefore rendered no decision
affecting them.

COIL FAMINE 4CHTE.
NO RELIEF IN SIGHT
Practically Only Bltumluous Produef to
Be Had and Price Of That Going Up.

The realities of the coal situation are
brought home to Washington today more
strongly than at any time since the
strike was inaugurated. The city is now
in the midst OF the most serious fuel
famine it has known since the civil
war. when the Confederates blockaded
the river and ships could not reach the
Capital.
The price of coal-already at the s16
marks still climbing; the bins of the
city's dealers are empty and the most
vigilant efforts of buyers fail utterly
to reveal a possible source of supply.
There simply is no mined coal in the
country, comparatively speaking. and
unless the strike is speedily settled the
statement will be literally true.
No Relief in Sight.
Absolutely no relief is in sight, ac-
cording to the local dealers. This means
that within a very short time the peo-
pie of Washington will actually suffer
for want of coal The poor will be
unable to get fuel of any kind and will
simply have to live in cold houses. The
rich will be inconvenienced to the point
of suffering. for there will be no hard
coal to be had at any price, and other
fuel will advance in price accordingly.
Factories will be threatened with clos
ing down, and the prices of every COM
modify will be increased.
If the strike could be settled tomor
row. it would be impossible for any coal
to reach Washington for months, as the
mines are flooded. The first coal mined
would go Northwest. to take advantage
of the open lake transportation.
$I6.5o Per Ton for Anthracite.
Anthracite coal sold in Washington
yesterday in limited quantities at $3.50
ton, and there were rumors that
few tons were sold at as high as 500.
But four dealers are known to have
COAL The bins of the others are scraped
clean. The four lucky dealers are hold
ing their coal for regular customers and
disposing of the precious article in as
small quantities as possible. The tempta-
tion to dispose of all their stock in big
lots is great. but they maintain they
will help out their regular patrons as
long as possible.
Probably the coal famine will be felt

COAL PRICES IN WASHINGTON
NOW AND BEFORE THE STRIKE

as keenly in the hotels and apartment
houses as anywhere else in the city
There are great many fats in Wash
ington, nearly all of which are heated
by steam. Rents in these, it is feared
are almost sure to go up.
But two possible solutions of the To-
cal coal situation seem possible. Neither
of these Is positive nor Immediate
The first is the settlement of the strike
The second is the discovery of fuel other
-than anthracite coal. or such action as
will admit foreign-mined coal-from
Canada, for instance-duty free.
The most natural supposition is that
soft coal will be imported. During the
past few days, however. the price of
soft coal has been going up rapidly.
Wood, too. is advancing in the same
ratio. Dealers say this is sure to be
the result of the high price of anthra-
cite. just as the high price of ham
always follows high price of beef.

ANY persons found travelling from

alcoholic liquor should be reported for
prosecution for selling liquor at some
particular point on his route. at which
there is evidence of his having sold
without payment of the special tax at
that place. and not as peddler."

LABOR CONDITIONS IN
THE UNITED STATES
British Commission Reports
Its American Tour.
TRADE UNIONS NOT MILITANT
English Visitors Hold That Few En-
ployers Acknowledge That 1t Has
Influence Worthy the Mention.

Some time ago commission from the
British Iron Trade Association visited
this country with view of studying
the prevailing industrial conditions, and
especially those relating to the iron and
steel industry.
The commission has finished its la
bors and has made report TO its
British colleagues, in which labor con-
ditions in the United States forms a
very interesting and important chapter.
The report says the following about
American labor
The conditions of labor in the United
States is another matter that has re-
ceved a good deal Of attention, as being
| fundamental in the progress of American
industries, if not also in the relative
progress of some of our own. The in
fuence of trade unionism is not nearly
so strong nor so aggressive in the United
States as in Great Britain. The reason
is largely capable OF mathematical DEM
onstration.
Less Labor Unions.
"A recent report by the New York
in Great Britain at recent date there
we're .9O5. 900 trade unionists, there were
only 1.60O, 900 in the United States and
Canada for about twice the population,
while Germany is credited with 995. 600,
or about one half the British figure.
The trade union is OF generally recog-
nized as militant force in the United
States, except now and again. Few en-
ployers are ready to acknowledge that it
has any influence worth naming.
Reduction in Cost of Labor.
According to figures recently made
public bv Mr.. William Garrett. rail
roller in an up-to-date rail mill is paid
less than ! cent per ton for rolling.
against Is cents at not very remote
date. Within that time, again, wire
rod roller has seen his earnings per ton
reduced from s2.12 to II cents per ton,
and yet he earns larger wages at the
lower figure. while cents is paid to-
day for heating billets to make wire
rods, against so cents during the period
referred to.
"If rod rollers" said Mr.. Garrett,
were to receive the same wages per ton
that they did twenty years ago. they
would earn s424 per day.
1.-THE average output per worker has
in all cases increased enormously. At
the nine Edgar Thomson blast furnaces
was told that 600 men are employed
for an output of 24,50O tons per week.
including all the hands employed in
handling and stocking raw materials,
transport, etc.
Output Per Man Vastly Increased.
This gives an average of 1873 tons of
pig per man per week, or 1865 tons per
man per annum. The minimum wage
paid at the blast furnaces is sl.50 per
day of twelve hours. | did not get
the average wage paid at these works.
but Mr. A. C. Dinkey, the manager Of
the Homestead Works, recently testi-
fed that the average earnings of the
workmen there, excluding officials, is
81. 73 per day, while the earnings of roll
lers and heaters rise TO SIS per day
"Waces, in short, are generally so
,ond ba man have fGai- futu
