About Political Skulldug-
nerY.

San Juan. p. r., Oct. 1.-THE elec-
tion registrations have been Il COM
plete farce The FederalS were shut
out in a majority of the precincts of
the islands, due to an order of the
executive council placing majority of
Republicans on each board. At Viques
eight insular policemen guarded the
booth, no Federals were admitted, and
none registered. In hany towns there
have been no Federal registrations and
in consequence in several towns i'll adj
dition to Cayey the Federals formally
retired from the elections.
In order TO remedy this the super
visor of elections allowed an extra
registration day Wednesday. but with
the same result. Although instructions
were wired to all the precincts to pro-
tect the rights of the FederalS they
Were 7iformly diSregarded. Wherever
Federals attempted to register there
was more OF less disorder. Shooting
affairs occurred at Aguadilla. COroZal.

TALK OF RESUMPTION OF WORK
Probable Next Thursday, but May Go Over
Until Friday.

Probable Next Thursday, but May Go Over
Until Friday.
-vI If the plans of the. stEiks.-laadaE
are not disarranged a general resump-
ton of mining will take place about
next Thursday. 1t is expected that
the convention will last two days, and
that there will be an interval of one
day from the time the convention ad.
journs until the time set for the men
to go back to the mines. If the con-
ventiOn should be in session on
Wednesday ii is probable that resump-
ton would not take place until Fri
day. There will not be enough work
at first for all the strikers, as it is
the intention of the companies not to
dismiss non-uniOn men, who have
stood by them during the strife. The
organization will take care of such
other men as are unable to find work.
1t is estimated that all the strikers
will not find work until two or three
months have elapsed. This is due to
the conditions of the mines. Some of
them are wholly or partly flooded, and
other need repairing. The coal cOmpa-
nies, anticipating the ending of the
strike are busily engaged in prepar-
ing for resumption. 1t is estimated
that more than 200 of the $50 col
lieries will be in operation by the end
of next week, and will produce enough
coal to relieve the situation.
a Scranton dispatch says that of the
ninety-eight collieries operated by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western,
pie, the Erie, and the Ontario and
Western companies. the five big "car-
cierS'' having headquarters there, only
two, the Butler at Pittston and the
Hallstead at Duryea, which were al
lowed to flood, cannot be reopened at
once. which means within week from
the time the strike is declared off. At
forty-four of these places some work
has been going on.
The fact that there are only 10000
non-union men at work, and that TO-
900 of the striking miners have left the
Scranton region or gone into other en-
ployment, and will never return to the
mines, and the further fact that the
collieries Will be operated to their full
est capacity, are certain to prevent any
possibility of conflict arising between
union and non-union men, because of
the one crowding out the other.
London Editorial Opinion.
London, Oct. 17.-The newspapers
here express great satisfaction at the
apparent favorable outcome of the coal
strike in the United States, for the

HIGHER PRICE FOR COAL
of Checking Orders the Move Has
Increased the Demand in
Indiana.

Terre Haute. Ind, Oct. 1.-THE ad-
vance in the price of Indiana bitumin-
Gus coal at the mines which went into
effect Wednesday instead of checking
the orders for it increased the demand.
The price of block coal was advanced
even more than the advance on btu
minous coal announced Wednesday.
The price at the mines was lifted from
$3.50 to $50 and to Chicago purchas-
ers it was raised to 81.
The latter discrimination is said to
have been made because Chicago job
bers were selling to the markets in the
northwest at price based on 81 at
the mines. Wednesday there was Il
weakening on this Chicago price, and
the indications are that it will be
placed at $3.50 or 81 in Chicago, the
freight being 40 cents.

Man is often blamed for driving to
extinction many sorts of beautiful
creatures, but the account is far more
than balanced by the amount of good
he has done for those animals which
proved useful and could be tanned.
Take the case of the bee. The bee
lives by its tongue, with which organ
it is able to extract the honey from
flowers. Now, a bees tongue is natu-
rally about a twenty-fifth of an inch
long Clever beekeepers, by keeping only
those bees with naturally leng tongues,
have succeeded in lengthening the
tongues of a number of bee colonies
to the extent of another hundredth of
an inch. 1t does not sound much, but
it enables those insects to do a quar-
ter as much work again in the same
time.
Man has done more than this for
bees. He has given them ready made
homes, where they are safe from wasps
and other enemies; frames for making
their combs without using large guam
titles of wax for outside walls, and
food during fiowerless weather.

Mitchell Declares His Adhesion.
From the time the news was received
late Wednesday night until about about
10 a. III. yesterday there was some
doubt as to how the miners would
receive the modified plan. President
Mitchell was pressed by the cor
respondents for Il statement. and final
ly at 10 Il. IN. he issued a bulletin. of
which the following is the material
part: Il was unalterably opposed to
the acceptance of or acquieScence in
the form of settlement proposed by the
coal operators. because it restricted the
president of the United States in MAX
ing selection of the men who were
TO determine the questions involved
in the coal strike. These restrictions
having been removed and representa-
ton given TO organized labor as well
as to organized capital, l
shall recommend TO the executive Off

essary to declare the strike at an end"
Gave General Satisfaction.
When this was read to the arriving
district leaders and groups of miners
who came to headquarters that Mitch
ell was willing to accept the modified
plan, and from that time on there
was no doubt that the strike would be
brought to a speedy close. At > p. IN.

RULING CREATED coNsrERNAr1oN
Increased Duty Foots Up n Sum Worth
Fighting About

"The Philadelphia ruling naturally
spread CONSERVATION among the indie
pendent steel concerns. 1t is known
that German steel contracts now en-
tered into and yet to be filled aggregate
at least 100000 tons, in the duty on
which the ruling, if sustained, would
cause an increase of $450.000. OF this
100000 tons of billets $4,000 tons are
now en- route to this country. Among
the large concerns which will be di-
rectly affected are the Republic Iron
and Steel company, the Allis-C Chalmers
company, the Deering Harvester COM
pany and the Laughlin Nail company.
Aside from these the eight or ten in
dependent wire and wire nail concerns
scattered over the country would be
hard hit.
'These Independent drawers of wire,
who are almost wholly dependent up
on foreign billets for material, have
their mills located in Rhode Island.

vania. Indiana, Alabama. New York,
Ohio and some other states, which
shows that a widespread political sig
nificance may be attached TO the rul-
ing should ii be sustained and the in
terests adversely affected see fit TO
force it to the front as an issue.
Furthermore. as the Dominion Iron
and Steel company, of Nova Scotia, is
the only mapipulator of steel in the
Dominion of Canada and places its
price for steel biliets at less than l
cent per pound both for domestic con-
sumption and for export, it is enabled
to enter it's billets of the same quail
ty and character as the German bill
let's three-tenths of a cent per pound
while it is claimed by the Philadelphia
collector that the German product shah
pay four-tenths of a cent per pound,
which at once discriminates against
Germany, so that the question becomes
one of international Importance.
"a striking coincidence in connec-
ton with the demand of the Philadel-
phia collector for an increase in the
duty ON German billets was the can
collation. by the United States Steel
Corporation of orders for a considera-
BILE tonnage of foreign billets and al
most simultaneously the reduction in
