SOLD RELIEF STUFF
Charges Against the Local Govern
ment on the Island of St.

U. S. Supplies Sold While the People
Are Still in State of "
Starvation.

Kingstown, Island Of st. Vincent, Sat
urday, Sept. 27.--Widespread d1ssat1s-
faction prevails here in connection with
the relief work on this island.
A portion of the food clothing and other
supplies contributed by the United States
government for the assistance of sufferers
from the eruptions has been sold under its
value by the local government to mer-
chants abroad, the distribution Of rations
has been stopped and a state of semi
starvation prevails among some of the
sufferers.
An inadequate &pittance of Is cents
weekly per adult is given to some Of the
people and some I1uts have been erected
for the homeless but they only measure
eight feet by eight.
Owing to the destruction of many of the
estates majority. of the laborers are out
Of employment, and the government OFF,
Gals have been dlatory in allotting lands
for them to cultivate.
The bulk of sufferers whose properties
have been devastated, are reduced to a
state of poverty and have not yet been. re-
lieved. They are experiencing great pri-
walton, while over 100000 of the relief
fund is still at the disposition of the gov
eminent. -
Representatives on the ground Of NAL
administration of the relief funds, ETC.,
have been made to the colonial secretary
Mr.. Chamberlain, who has commissioned
A. M. Ashmore, the government secretary
at Demerara to proceed to st. Vincent
in connection with the relief work early
in October and it is rumored that another
commissioner is coming from England or
the same errand.

gunboat Chucito left here Saturday, es-
corting a gasolene launch with a commits

George B. Parker and H. D. Gooding OF
Washington and George Cross of Newport

recently arrived here for service on gov

Chucuito.
When the launch was little more than
100 yards fl ON shore-though both boats
were flying white flags-the revolutionists
opened fire from their entertainments, and
the escape of any of those on board was
little short of a miracle. Fortunately, the
sunners were prepared for any emergency
and they imediately answered the rebels
shots with two six-pounders, silencins
the shore fire. They then trained theiI
guns on the house in which the rebels had
established their headquarters, completely
demolishing it and causing the revolution
lists to take to fight. a-5s..:

the manner in which his commissioner

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept 29.-President

Of the United Mine Workers arrived mere
at 1880 o'clock this morning from fitts-
burg. They were met at the PennsylVa-
MIA; railroad station by District Presidents
Nichols, Fahey and Duffy Of the three an
thrac cite coal districts.
After a hurried breakfast the laoor
leaders went direct to the of1lce or Jonn

The hotel. The party remained in confer
ence until nearly noon when MI. wilson
and the three district presidents hurried
away from the hotel. They would say
nothing about their future movements.
Treasurer Wilson said to representa-
tive of the Associated Press that there
was no indication of All early endlns OF
the strike.
Because of the fact that the Walton is
the HEADQUARTERS OF state political leaders
a rumor prevailed that there was poiltl-
cal significance in the mysterious colllei
ence This was denied by treasurer WIZ
son who said the meeting had nothing TO
do with politics. -.
Mr. Mitchell left the Hotel Walton al

met by a number OF newspaper reporters
and to each he made the same reply:

MIR Mitchell would not tell the name OF
the person with whom he conferred, nol
whether the conference was held with re1-
erence to a speedy ending OF the strike
1t was suggested to him that the presence
of National Secretary Wilson at the con-
ference was because the organization
wanted to strengthen itself financially, but
to every question he gave noncom-

There is much mystery surrounding the
conference and every effort to learn whom
Mr.. Mitchell met proved futile. The name

Dredalnu for Coal.

New York, Sept. 29.-Owing to the
high prices for coal an organized plan fol-
securing supplies Of the "dusky dia-
monds'' from the waters of Long Island
sound will be put in. operation this week
says a Bridgeport, Conn, dispatch. Many
barges loaded with anthracite have beer
wrecked in the sound
A company has been organized to re-
cover this coal by means Of sweep
boats, which will be used to locate the
wrecks. A diver will be sent down ano
powerful pumps will be put to work, the
coal will be sucked up and run over

U. S. GOVERNMENT MAY STEP IN.
1t May Be Forced to Condemn Some of
the Mines,

Washington, Sept 29.-The United
States government may be forced to con-
denim some Of the anthracite coal mines
and operate them to obtain sufficient
supply of fuel to keep the wheels Of gov
eminent moving.
At several departments the supply of
coal is practically exhausted. The Off
Gals refrain from discussing the situa-
ton because Of the grave consequences
involved.
Unless the anthraci mines are placed
in operation, either by an agreement be-
tween the operators and miners or by the
government taking forcible possession, it
WIFI be a comparatively short time before
the printing of paper money, which is pro-
ceeding at the rate of $4,000, 900 a day.
and the printing of postage stamps will
have to be abandoned.
Already the elevator in the Washing
ton monument has shut down because Of
the scarcity of coal. The next step will
be the closing Of the elevators in the gov
eminent departments and in week or
two the electric and heating plants about
the public buildings must close until some
relief is forthcoming. The presses at the
bureau of engraving and printing, where
the paper currency and postage stamps
are turned out. are dependent upon a
small supply Of bituminous coal, but the
demand for soft coal makes the officials
apprehensve that it will soon be as scarce
as hard coal.
Should these presses be stopped the
effect upon business can hardly be esti-
mated There is small reserve supply
of postage stamps that could be used in
such emergency, but not enough to
guarantee enough stamps to go around
should the presses remain idle any length
of time.
The president and congress are without
coal supply. There is not lump in the
presidents bin
The government. when it's stability has
been threatened by war, has exercised
the right to compel citizens to come tC
it's defense. If it had the right to draft
men and require them to offer their lives
Is 1t without power to compel the Goa
barons to furnish the necessary fuel tt
discharge its functions The government
may soon be forced to consider in this
regard the comparative value of pound
of coal and a pound of flesh. 1t has taken
the one. Is it powerless to take the
other?

comes from what are called runs" The
veins are on an incline and the coal. after
a quantity is removed below. begins to
run to the gangway. Owing to the high
price of coal the culm banks will prob
ably be more profitable than ever. The
Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron
company has surveyors at work designat-
ing sites for the erection Of washeries at
different points. Among these are Swat
ara and Donaldson, where great culm
banks exist that were dumped forty
years ago and are one half coal.

DIPLOMATIC CHANGES.

Washington. Sept. 29.--It is believed that the
changes in the diplomatic service reported last
week will be followed soon by at least two
others. Henry Waite, secretary Of enbassny
to London, whose name did not appear in last
weeks list, is still regarded in line to receive
an important ministry or even embassy, though
whether his chances incline toward Rome. where
Mr.. A1yer is reported to be about to relinquish
his post, or to Caracas, where Minister Bowen
is impatiently waiting for transfer, cannot
now be predicted.
