Queensland Anxious To Withdraw Bit
There seems NO Way Ont,

NEW YORK, September 29.-The

from Queensland, and Premier Robert
Phillip, now openly advocates the Sc
cession of that state from the Federal
Union, the Cors.ili-i)n cann): be IN
made with the ease that the Premier

wealth constitution act does not make
provision for secession, and apparently
there are no means of obtaining sep
aration short of an act Of repeal or
civil war.
Premier Philip seems to anticipate
that he win receive the support of the
people who also are dissa tisfi ed with
present conditions, but the extreme
measure is not likely to be taken. Still,
this unrest is having very prejudicial
effect on business in the common
wealth, and nearly every Aus :alian

CONFERENCE ON
THE COAL STRIKE
WAS NOT SUCCESS
FUL-THERE WILL BE NO CALL
FOR AN EXTRA SESSION.

WASHINGTON, October 4-There
viii be no call for an extra session of
Congress to deal with the coal strike
situation at this stage. The President
especially stated in his appeal to the
representatives of the miners and the
operators yesterday that he did not act
officially in calling them together. He
has for the time being exhausted his
resources. The matter is again one
with which the State of Pennsylvania
should deal If the commonwealth finds
itself unable to control the situation
and appeals to him through the consti-
tutional channels, the President will be
ready to bring into play the great force
of the National Government, military
and civil. But for the time being the
President has relaxed his efforts.
A great many radical suggestions
have been made as the result of the
failure of the conference yesterday, and
they include everything, from taking
possession by the Government to send
ing United States troops to PennsylVa-
MIA without regard to any call from
the Governor of that State. 1t can be
positively stated that none of these
sugges lions has received any serious
consideration by the administration
1t is not yet known whether Presi
dent Roosevelt will issue a statement
commenting upon the result of yester-
days coal conference. Some of the
Cabinet members will advise against
such a course There is disappOint-
ment that the effort of the President
met with no better success, but 1t
seems to be the opinion of those who
are coguizant of the situation that the
administration can do no more. The
good offices of the President to settle
the strike was the limit of his power.

REDUCING ARMY EXPENSES.
ESTIMATES IN EVERY DEPARTMENT CUT
DOWN BY SECRETARY ROOT
IRY rRLEaRAPH ro rHE rRIprNr. !

L.
Washington. Nov. Fin addition TO the 10 per
cent reduction OF estimates ordered by Secretary
Root there are several notable reductions in army
appropriations which arise from scientific adjust
ments. The most notable Of these is the decrease
I'm the cost Of the ration. The private soldiers ra-
ton is estimated 10 cost 80 cents day. Without
injuring the efficiency and wholesomeness of the
ration, the CommissaTy Department believes that
1t is possible to feed the soldiers a smaller ex-
pense and the ration for this year will cost %
cents day. On the basis of force of sixty thou
sand men. this will result In saving 5000 day. or
N.09500 annually. The total reduction in the com
missary department will probably be close 10
100000. caused. of course. in the MAN. by the
reduction Of the force in the Philippines and the
consequent decrease in the expense of supplies.
The reduction OF the army will materially assist
in this scaling down of expenses.
Similar reductions Of expenditure will result In
the Quartermasters Department. which General
Ludngton will be able to for about 81 600 900
less than this year The greatest saving here Will
be in the Philippine transport service, the reduc-
ton of the force in the Philippines accounting for
the largest part of the dminution.
In the office Of the Adjutant General and In
fact all along the line. the army estimates are
materially lower. Not all the saving is due to de-
crease in the army for each year the system grows
in efficiency. and with increased efficiency comes
additional economy. The War Department is bent
extent the requirements of the economical adj
minstration.
