means of raising in some degree the
standard Of journalism in the northwest in
that it shall be a cardinal principle that
the paper must be kept clean. All inter

to publish a high class newspaper.
For the past twenty months Mr.. Jones
has been at the head Of the Commercial
West a weekly journal along the lines
indicated by the name. This publication,
founded by Mr.. Jones, has been a success
from its very inception, and has taken
high rank among the financial and COM
mercial periodicals of the country. Be
fore starting the new publication, Mr..
Jones had been for many years con-
.nected with the Minneapolis daily. papers
in various capacities, winning the widest
recognition through sixteen years ex-
perience as commercial editor Of. II h 9
J ournal. 1t was in this capacity that
he established his reputation as an au-
thoritative crop expert and an intel
ligent analyst Of commercial conditions.
Through this work he undertook the
establishment of the Commercial West.
we'll informed as to the requirements and
through that publication his reputation
has been extended still more.
The Commercial West will continue to
published with a broadened scope. 1t will
contain class of commercial news not
contained in the Times, and will more
nearly approach the original plan of Mr.
Jones in its founding. Co. =

DANES QUARREL
Capitalists Who Took Hold of the
Islands Are in Trouble,

Copenhagen, Nov 11.-Various schemes
are being suggested OF enable the cap
italists Of Copenhagen to carry out their
plans for the commercial revival Of the
aDnish West Indies.
Now Messrs Damn. Larsen IIeide,
Gluckstad and several shipping magnates
and dgnitaries of the navy are in a. bad
fix. Their scheme included the starting
of plantations in the island and the estab-
lishment Of steamship lines which should
connect it with Denmark, South and Cen
trail America and Mexico. All they de-
manded in return was that the Danish
flag should not be hauled down. q
When the ministry agreed, the cap
italists went to work, but succeeded in
raising only a paltry per cent of the
1000, 900 kroner (s1,072, ,OOO) necessary.
Damn and Larsen have quarreled bit
terly One favors frank avowal of the
impossibility of the scheme; the other at
tempting to carry 1t through.
The ministry is convinced that the cap.
italists will be unable to fulfil ther prom.
ises and a renewal of negotiations with
the United States is only a matter Of
time. g..

SPECTACUL AR FIRE IN n. Y,
A $5oo,ooo Blaze on the Top of a
Tower Of the New East River
- RI aa Bridge. IL,

New York, Nov. 1.-THE new East river
bridge, in process of construction be-
tween New York and Brooklyn, was dam
aged $4,000 last night by a fire 355 feet
in the air, on the summit of the great
steel tower on the New York side.
1t was impossiblesto reach the fire, and
the flames. after devouring all the wood
work, seized on the false work Of the two
foot bridges suspended from the main ca :
bles, burning away the supports until
nearly million feet of blazing lumber fell
with a mighty splash into the stream.
The fall carried away scores Of the
lighter cables and guys, rendering it nee
essary for the police to stop all traffic.
It will take two months to repair the
damage. No lives were lost. .rs1

dividual. Taking up the specifications in
Mr. MitchelFs charges seriat1m, Mr.. Baer
first admits that his company owns thirty
seven collieries and that before the strike
it employed 26,s2s people. Following is
a brief summary CT the response to Mr..
Mitchells other specifications: . ,-.s.
.Second-The demand for 20-per-cen in
crease in wages on piecework is de-
nounced as "arbitrary. unreasonable and
unjust" The company contends that
after making all necessary allowance for
different conditions that the rate Of wages
paid for the mining of anthracite coal Is
as high as that paid in the bituminous
coal fields. ~
t. Third-The' company denies that the
present scale Of wages is lower. than is
paid in other occupations in the. same To-
cality and controlled by like conditions.
Fourth and Fifth-Mr. Baer denies that
the earnings of the anthracite workers
are less than average earnings for other
occupations requiring skill and training
and also the charge that the earnings are
insufficient because Of the dangerous
character of work in the anthrae cite mines.
Sixth-This specification made by Mr..
Mitchell is referred to as too vague for
specific answer. but in general way tt is
stated that the anthracite regions are
among the most prosperous in the United
States -,. =, ..-.... .,-..
Seventh-The company pronounces as
unjust and inequitable the demand for a
reduction Of 20 per cent In hours of labor
without "a reduction Of earnings for time
employees and this demand Is pronounced
impracticable In this connection the fol-
lowing statement is made: =, ...
Because Of the injury to the mines by
the strike of the United Mine: Workers
the cost Of producing coal has been great
! ly increased and a temporary advance
| in price was made by this company, but
it would be impracticable to continue
such increase when mining operations
become normal. -seE r.. G-s:aL..r ~ !. ~ . -
Eighth-Mr. Baer says that his company
| has no disagreement with any Of its
employees about the weighing Of coal
because the quantity is usually deter
mined by measurement and not by weight
Misunderstanding to the fourth demand
made by Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Baer says
since the advent of the United Mine
Workers organization into the anthracite
fields, business conditions there have
been intolerable; that the output of the
mines has decreased; that discipline has
been destroyed; that strikes have beer
| Of almost daily occurrences; that men have
worked when and as they please, and
! that the cost Of mining has been greatly
increased. He also takes the position thai
the jurisdiction Of the commission is
limited to the conditions named by the
coal company presid which excludes
the United Mine Workers from any recog.
milton in the proceedings. He says, how.
ever that whenever labor organiza-
! tion limited to anthracite mine ork ers
is created which shall obey the law, re.
spect the right of every man to work anc
honestly cooperate with employers, trade
agreements may become practicable. :

Special to The Journal. J.
Oshkosh, Wis, Nov. 11.-CongressIman
James H. Davidson believes that the next
speaker of the house will be western
man, and that Cannon has the pole. Mr.
Davidson says: -
Until all the candidates are in the
field, it is practically Impossible to give
any accurate forecast. The eastern men
mentioned are, nearly all men of long
service and experience and stand well.
Owing to the fact that the east has the
presidency, and is likely to have it for
the coming term, and the further fact
that the west, and especially the central
west. furnishes a large percentages-of the.
republican membership, the chances for
the selection OF, an eastern man for speak
er are not as good as the chances of some
strong western man. II tEE'.:.@-t
"The only names thus far mentioned
for the west are Mr.. Cannon of Illinois
and Mr.. Babcock Of our own state. Mr..
Cannon, by reason of his long experience.
the position he has occupied as chairman
of the great committee on appropriations,
and his well-known strength on the floor,
will have a decided advantage"

Intelligent Young Women Are Pre-.
ferred to Men for the Work.
1t is reported that San Francisco
may soon make the very interesting
experiment of employing Chinese
girls as telephone operators; hearing
which, one wonders whether all the
venerated ancestors in that land of
degraded womanhood, China, will not
rise en- masse from their graves in
CONSERVATION and protest The large
number of Chinese subscribers in San
Francisco, it is said, has long made
1t necessary to have a central station
where the operators speak the Chinese
language. Men have held these posi-
tons heretofore, but the company. it
is said, finds the girls answer its
purpose better. Intelligent girls will
be procured from the mission and a
matron will be engaged to see that
they are properly protected. Six
operators will be needed for the
Chinese system. An interesting
feature of their duties will be the
making of tea since Chinese etiquette
requires that customers should be
entertained while waiting for the
public telephone. Tea and tobacco
are both furnished at the company's
expense.
