Coal Fields-output of Coal
is Increasing.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 29.-In order
that Mitchell day may be properly OBJ
served tomorrow, there will be a gen.
eral suspension of mining. Operators
would rather the men would work. but
under the circumstances they are help
less in the matter. The superintendent
of many collieries were notified today
that employees would not report for
work tomorrow. Many visitors are ar
irving tonight to witness the demon
stration in this city. There will be a
street parade and a mass meeting in
nearly all the towns in the coal region,
hut, owing to the presence of Mitchell
in Wilkesbarre, it is expected the prin-
cipal demonstration will be held there.
Mitchell day" is the anniversary of
the close of the last big strike, Oct. 90.

OUTPUT of Coal.

Scranton. Pa, Oct. 29.-Oficial fig
ures from five big companies having
main offices in Scranton show that so
per cent of their collieries are in opera
ton and the output is now more than
three-quarters of what it is nominally.
Much complaint was heard at the Of
fees of the companies concerning the
idleness that will ensue tomorrow by
reason of the observance of Mitchell
day. The companies have received no
notice from the men that they will not
work tomorrow other than the an
nouncements of the papers of parade
arrangements. Each company has in
structed its superintendent to blow
the whistles as usual and work the
mines if possible. 1t is almost a GER
tainty the whistles will bring no re-
sponses, as every mining center in the
valley has arranged for a Mitchell day
celebration.

Irish Take a Rest.

London, Oct. 29-Having gained their
end in forcing discussion of coercion,
the Nationalist members of the com-
mons appear to have abandoned any
further parliamentary campaign pend
ing the return of John Redmond, Irish
leader, from the United States. A large
number of Irish members left London
today for ireland. All Irish questions
and motions have been suddenly
dropped and the government left to do
as it pleases without m~olestation.
Nationalist members OF the COM
mons are jubilant over what they claim
Is Balfour's "climb-down'' from his re-
fusal to grant a day to discuss the
proclamation of the crimes act. Block
ing motions to prevent such discussion
were set up last week by unionists, but,
through government influences these
motions were withdrawn, thus permit
ting O'Brien's motion last night, &C
cording to the Standard this morning,
this arrangement was the result Of a
friendly understanding between the
government and the Irish party.
Whether this is correct or not it is
quite apparent the government has ar
rived at the conclusion it would be q
saving of time to permit Irish debate.
The Times admits the blocking mo-
| tions were removed by government in
f~luence, and claims this concession by
Balfour is a very different thing from
acceding to the Irishmen's demand
for q day to discuss coercion.

Count Hilarion Chaky, a wealthy resi-
dent of Pressburg, who desired to OBJ

ROCK INSCRIPTIONS.
Found in Canaan and May Throw
Light on Biblical Questions

A discovery which is likely to have
far-reaching influence in settling dis
puted Biblical questions is announced
to arc~haeologists by Mrs. Ghosn-el-
HOWE, late of Toronto, now of Mount
Lebanon, Syria.
While travelling on the eastern slope
of Lebanon Mrs. Howie's attention was
attracted by two large powders. The
first of these, which was found high
up in the mountain, has sculptured up
on 1t the figures of a bull, a COW and a
lion. This grouping of animal forms is
said to point to a Hittite hand.
The other sculpture, which was some
miles down the mountain in a gorge,
very near the edge of the rich, fertile
plain of Coeele-Syria, is a representa-
ton of a female armed with a sword
and a spear.
At first it was thought that this fig
ure represented the queen of the de-
sert, Zenobia of Tadmor, in the wild
erness, but further study leads Mrs.
HOWE to suppose hat this is no other
than the goddess of Ashruta, Mistress
of the Plain, wife of Amurru, Lord Of
the Mountains, referred to in the Tell
el-Amarua letters discovered Is years
ago in Egypt.
The location of these sculptures, rep
resenting the gou Amurru (symbolized
by the build up among the mountains.
and the female down on the edge of
the plain agrees we'll with the pub
lished inscriptions which tell us that
he is lord of the mountains and she
mistress of the plain" or wilder
ness"
How many thousands of human be-
ings have in the past and forgotten
centuries bowed the knee to this Baal
may only be conjectured, but this much
is plain, that these two sculptures be-
long to the class condemned in the
first verse of the 26th chapter of Levi
ticus, Image of stone" figured stone"
"stone of picture" or, as my Arabic
version has it, "hajaran messoweran"
that is, a stone on which l~ikenesses
are traced.
If scientists should confirm Mrs.
Howie's later views as to the identity
and age Of these sculptures, then de-
structive criticism which ascribes to
Leviticus a date later than the days
of Eezekiah and Josiah will have a
fresh and a rock-hard difficulty to get
over, in view of the fast that Hezekiah
and Josiah destroyed all such Figured
stones" or stones on which likenesses
are sculptured within their kingdom

Kansas Sticks to Wheat.

Notwithstanding the partial failure
of the Kansas wheat crop this year, a
larger area than ever is being planted
this fall for next summers harvest.
They still believe in wheat rather
than corn u that way, and the pres
ent planting proceeds under more IA
vorable conditions than known in re-
cen years, the state being thoroughly
soaked by three months of unusual
rainfall. The area now being given
over to wheat is estimated to be 10
per cent larger than that planted a
year ago, when it was larger than
ever before.-Springfeld, Mass, Re
