TAIL0RS NOW ON STRIKE.
Voted at 1:3O This Morning to Qutt-
 Tickets Out.

There is more trouble between the Journeymen Tailors' union and the Mer- chant Tailors' association. On october ' last the following agreement was reached and signed after much coftro- versy between both parties: e.
 No. 1-Recognition of the union.
 No. 2-We suggest that all grievances should be settled between employer and employe. If unable to agree the em- ployes should report the same to the executive board of the union and they shall report either verbally or in writ ing to the Merchant Tailors' associa- ton.
 No. S-We suggest that you appoint an executive committee of three (S) to confer with our executive committee in case of disagreements, to arbitrate or adjust all differences between employer and employees.
 No. 4-That any journeyman who is engaged by any merchant tailor and who is satisfactory after two weeks trial, and if given work after those two weeks shall be kept in the employment until the following season. Except for just cause no tailor is to be discharged.
 Article No. 5, which was struck out before signing by mutual agreement, is now the bone of contention. This read: None but union tailors to be employ ed"
 At joint meeting held in Warner hall last evening the journeymen urfan- imously voted to strike unless this article was reinstated, and the mer- chants told them that they had violated the article in reference to arbitration and that they would not agree to this and that they could strike if they so desired.
 The journeymen then adjourned to their rooms in the Insurance building for another conference. At 1:30 o'clock this morning the Union Journeymen tailors, about 150, voted to strike and put out about thirty pickets, who watched the shops all night. They de- mand that the word "only" shall stand in the article "Only union help shall be employed which they claim has never been stricken out, and more equal dis tribution of work The articles in ref erence to prices are agreeable to all parties.

BoER GENERALS QUARREL
De " ct Said to Favor Abandoning Fur
 ther Efforts to Collect Funds.


 ther Efforts to Collect Funds.
 London, Oct 23.-Generals Botha De Wet and Delarey failed to attend Lady Cooks dinner tonight and the cause is supposed to be connected with quarrels which have arisen between them. They were all sightseeing in London. to-day, and up to the last moment they were expected at Lady Cooks.
 It is reported that General De Wet wants the tour of the generals, includ- ing the trip to the United States, to be abandoned and that all three are dis appointed at the financial results so far obtained. General Botha, however, is said to be anxious to make a further effort to collect funds. A warm discus sion on this point is believed to have occurred between Generals De Wet and Botha. General Delarey is said to have remained neutral in. the matter. Gen eral De Vets presence is considered necessary for the success of the tour. and if he persists in returning to South Africa it is not unlikely that the whole tour will be abandoned.

4 "NONSENSICAL PROPOSITION. "
German Comment on Carnsgte's Proc :. posai for n United states of Europe.

F. posai for United States of Europe.
 Berlin, Oct. 23.-Andrew Carnegies S suggestion in his inaugural address as rector of St. Andrews university, Scot land, yesterday, on his reinstallation in that office, that Emperor William or ganiZe the United States of Europe" was received with laughter by the Ger mans. The Vossische Zeitung calls it 8 "nonsensical proposition, adding: Since not even a customs union is pos sible between Germany and Austria, how vain it is to propose political union. Should the emperor follow the advice it would expose him to repulse after repulse."
 The Boersen Zeitung curtly expresses the hope that MT. Carnegie will "let an- tiquated Europe alone to work out it's own salvation"
 The Post, though saying the idea is utterly chimerical thinks MT. Carnegie complimented the German people and the emperor by supposing they could carry out the project.
 The Lokal Anzeiger says: 'The only way Germany can make head against the American danger is for Emperor William to continue his energetic infiu- ence in developing the country econom- icaIly."

NEJV SPANISH MINISTER.
Felicitous Addresses Between Him and
 President Roosevelt.

Washington, Oct 23.-Senor Don Emi- To De Ojeda, the recently appointed minister of Spain to the United States, formally presented his credentials to President Roosevelt to-day. After the usual exchange of felicitous addresses the president and Senor Ojeda chatted pleasantly for few minutes. Minister Ojeda's address in part was as follows:
 "The friendly relations which of old time existed between Spain and the United States having been renewed up- on a footing of constantly increasing cordiality. it is at this time the princi- pal object of the government of his majesty to cultivate, by all the means within it's reach those movements of trade and commerce between the two countries which at the same time that they contribute to the increasing devel- opment of their material prosperity, create the mutual solidarity of inter- ests and the intimate contact between them which should constitute for the future the firmest and the most durable foundation of the amicable relations be- tween the two peoples"
 President Roosevelt's reply was as follows: "Mr. Minister-Recalling the warm friendship which from the earli- est days of our national life existed be- tween the United States and Spain, it gives me sincere qualification to well come you as the envoy of his majesty, the King of Spain, and to accept the royal letter you bear accrediting you in that capacity. The assurances here tofore given by your distinguished pre- decessor and reaffirmed by you, that the principal aim of his majesty's gov- ernment is to strengthen the good feel ing now happily renewed and becoming more marked with the passage of time, and to contribute to that end by devel- oping in all ways within it's power those movements of traffic and intercommu- nication which tend not alone to mu- tual benefit, but to the closer relations and the more intimate association of the two countries, find an earnest re- sponse on our part. Satisfying alike the. purposes of this government and the wishes of the people of the United States, I offer you cordial cooperation in all that may tend to realize our com mon desire for lasting amity and in creasingly advantageous intercourse

JUSTICE PREVENTS FIGHT
QUICKLY OUELLS COLUMBIAN
 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.
Stopped from Breaking Up Meeting of Freshmen-Giant Judge of the United States Supreme COuFt Steps in Between the Two Glasses Grabs the RtDgIeader.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Justice Harlan of the United States supreme court, who is a member of the faculty of the Co., lumbian university law school in this city, last night >interferred and prevent ed a class fight between the freshmen and sophomores. Justice Harlan is giant in stature and, although sixty nine years of age, he is still vigorous and active, golf being one of his daily exercises. The youngsters were no match for him when he entered the arena.
 The anticipated contest was the re- suit of the announcement of the fresh man class that it would hold its first meeting last night in Jurisprudence hall. This announcement acted as suggestive challenge to the sophomores to break up the meeting, if possible. After the regular lecture of the evening the first year men undertook to open their meeting when the sophomores made charge against the door of the hall. At this point Justice Harlan in commanding voice ordered the combat to cease. The sophomores paused for a moment, but were evidently not dis posed to obey the order, for they im- mediately began a second assault.
 It was then that the eminent jurist took personal hand in the fray. He reached over the heads of the assault ing party and seizing the leader of the forces by the collar, dragged him from the pile. The jurist then directed the second year men to disperse with the desired effect.

Strong Point for Defanse-Barnet Let-

New York, Oct. g. A strong point was scored by the defense in the trial of Roland B. Molineux to-day when Justice Lambert ruled out the Barnet letters. Justice Lambert decided that as evidence the letters must be exclud- ed as improper, but that he was willing to admit them simply as a standard of comparison in handwriting. The coun- sci for the defense were highly pleased with this decision which is in line with that of the court of appeals which held that the testimony relative to the let ters. given at the first trial, was irrel- evant.

 nent:
 The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company.
 Presidents Office,
 Philadelphia. Oct. g. c. E. Henderson. General Manager: Dear Sir: The reports of the superin- tendents in charge os the mines show that. as result of the strike, the mines and mining plants have sustained con- siderable injury, and their respective working organizations have been inn paired. For some time to come the col lieries cannot be worked to produce their average quantity of coal. This will increase the cost of production. Es- inmates have been submitted showing the probable increase in cost per ton at the several groups of collieries. The general average exceeds 50 cents per ton.
 You will. therefore, add to the circu- lar price 50 cents per ton-this addi- tional price to continue until the first of January, 1903, by which time we hope to reach a normal condition of mining and production.
 Notwithstanding the sact, during the strike, no coal was sold by our company at an advance over the circular price, the price has been unreasonably ad- vanced to the public by some retail dealers. In the distribution of the coal, therefore, you will, so far as pratica- bIe, supply the dealers willing to sell coal to the public at reasonable prices. Where dealers seek to obtain an un- fair profit from the public. you will promptly take steps to supply the reas- enable demands of the public directly.
 Yours truly,
 George F. Baer, President Tn pursuance of instructions contain ed in the above letter. circulars have been issued, taking effect October "A. An effort will be made to arrange the distribution of coal so that parties in need may at least receive a small DOT tion of their wants, and with this pur- pose in view. dealers will be requested to restrict the amount which will for the present, be sold to any consumer within the limits Of his reasonable inn mediate requirements.
 The opinion is expressed by Mir. Hen derson that the prices for white ash, egg, stove and chestnut coal, delievered to householders in the city of Philadel- phia should not in any case exceed Ss?5
 Many of the dealers have already ex- pressed a willingness to comply with the wishes of the Reading company in this respect, and MT. Henderson has no doubt that practically all of them will heed the request, and charge only reas- enable prices to the public. One of the copies reads as follows:
 General Price Circular
