CLARKE LEADS DAVIS.

In Pulaski county the vote fell short of that cast in 1900, when there were 4,700 votes cast. This year it will probably not exceed 4,o0O. With six precincts to hear from, Jas. P. Clarke has 2,274 and Senator Jones 1,1S1, a majority of 1,o93 for Clarke, which the other precincts will probably increase Hon. E. w. Rector has 1885 and Gov. Jeff Davis 2,O60, majority of 675 for HayiS.

PHILLIPS PROBABLY.

Judge J. w. Phillips, Jackson coun- tvs poplar candidate for railroad com
 missioner, is probably elected over Hanley, candidate for reelection. He carried Independence by vote of 8 to one, Lonoke, Prairie, Greene, Craighead, Monroe, Lee and probably White. There are 27 counties in the north-e east district and those heard from almost assure Phillips election.

BRUNDIDGE LEADS M'CALEB.

Brundidge has carried nearly all the counties of the middle part and south end of his district. Jackson, Lawrence, White and Independence will all probably go for him, though Lawrence and Independence boiled large Me- Caleb vote.
 FULKERSON AND oLDFIELD.
 F. D. Fulkerson has carried every county in the district for judge, unless Stone gives her vote to Powell, Jack son county will give him 250 majority, and Beloate was beaten in his own county.
 w. A. Oldfeld will have a majority of probably 2,OOO votes. Ponder car ried but one township in Jackson county, Jefferson, with but four votes to spare. Oldfield carried his own county by from 1000 to 1,2OO majority and made things very warm for Pom der in Lawrence, which with three precincts still out, gave Oldfeld ma jority of 50. The defeat was a crush ing one and extended all along the line.
 CONGRESSIONAL RESULTS.
 In the seven congressional districts the following is summary:
 First District-All indications are that neither Macon, Taylor nor Par rish will have enough votes to secure the nomination on first ballot, thus throwing the contest into the conven- tion.
 Second District-Returns thus far received give Brundidge lead over McCaleb.
 Third District - Returns are still meager, with indications favorable to Floyd, as against Dinsmore.
 Fourth District-John s. Little had no opposition.
 Fifth District-C -Chas. c. Reid had no opposition.
 Sixth District-Joe T. Robinson has evidently defeated Sam M. Taylor.
 Seventh Distrct-Wallace sappar- ently in the lead, though Tompkins does not concede his success.

THE WANTS OF
 MINE WORKERS
Made Known At the Anthracite Con-
 vention At Shamokin.

Shamokin. Pa, March 20.-The most important feature of todays session of the convention of districts Nos. 1, and of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, was the adoption at the afternoon -ession of several resolutions. These were the result of various alleged grievances announced in the convention by the different delegations and pre- sented by the committee on resolu- tions. Most of them were of sectional rather than general interest, but their tone was none the less emphatic.
 The first resolution adopted demand ed an eight-hour working day in all the collieries of the anthracite region. The others adopted are as follows:
 Demanding the recognition of mine committees by operators in the adjust ment of disputes resulting in local strikes; declaring opposition to work ing with men not members of the Mine Workers union; favoring arbitra tion of trade disputes; providing for a sys- tematic examination of working cards; requesting the state bureau of mines to print not less than 25,000 copies of the mining laws in the English language for distribution among mine workers; condemning the system of blacklisting by the companies of discharged en- ployes.

ing months of last year, being $57, ,310, 12S for the seven months ending with January, 1902, against $73616.461 in the seven months ending with January. 19Cf. This decrease in the value of iron and steel exports is said by those in terested in the iron and steel industry of the United States to be as. easily eX plaiced as the decrease in the eXporta tiOns of corn, above referred to.
 The cause of the phenomenal growth in the exports of the iron and steel manufactures within the past few years, was the depression existing in the hC;1le market from 1893 to 1897. by which the demands upon the American manufacturers were small and which condition was immediately followed by unusual demands for iron and steel manufactures abroad, thus enabling the American manufacturer to enter the markets of those countries. At the present time conditions are, to a con- siderable extent. reversed. the demand abroad being considerably reduced, and that Of the hCme market, according to the best authorities in iron and steel matters, being absolutely in excess of the producing capacity Of the iron manufacturers and of the railroads to handle the products so demanded. The rc-ult is that the manufacturers are naturally turning their attention to the supply of the home market; and in cer- tain classes Of their products. notably pig iron, steel rails. steel plates, and structural steel. there is a considerable decline in exports, which may be eX- pected to continue so long as the home demand equals or exceeds as at pres ent the producing capacity of tho manufacturers and the carrying capa- city Cf the railroads. In other lines oi trca- and steel the expectations continue as about the former figure. especially in agricultural machinery, tools, build CTS hardware, etc.

Washington, March 20.-General Nell son A. Miles today told the senate com mittee on military affairs that if the bill introduced by Senator Hawley at the instance of the war department for the organization of the general staff of the army should become law he would decline to longer hold his com mission. The reason he gave for the statement is that the bill is utterly subversiVe of the interests of the mili- tary establishment, and he said he would not be party to such proceed ing to the extent of even continuing to hold his place.
 He asserted that the bill is calculated to accomplish no purpose except to allow the secretary of war and adjutant gen eral to promote the interests or their personal favorites. General Miles told the committee that with the bill law, he could now name the men who would hold the places of honor provided under it, but the committee did not ask for the names.

PROSPERITY
 DEPRESSION
The One at Home the Other
 Abroad
Are Cited As the Prinipal Causes of the Reduction of Our Exports of Iron and Steel and Corn-A Boom ing Home Market.

Washington. March 20.-Prospcrity at home and depression abroad are cited as the principal causes of the c0ntin- ued fall in the exportatiOn Of manufac- lures Of iron and steel. Two items in the experts of the United States now shoW q marked reduction compared with those of last year-cCrn, and man. ufactures of iron and steel. EXporta tions of corn in the eight months end- ing with February, 1902. amounted, ac ccrding 10 the preliminary figures of the bureau of statistics. just issued, to only 29,912S75 bushels, against 132 ,624.~ S59 bushels in the corresponding months of the preceding fiscal year, the value being, in the eight months ending with February, 1902. $13,6SS.20n, against $6O. O.621 569 last year. reduction in this single item of $46.9SS, ,i69. This reduction. of course. was caused by the shortage in the corn CrCD due to tn" Cirouth of last summer.
 The other important item in which reduction is apparent is manufactures of iron and steel. The exports under this head are for the seven months end- ing with January, Hsf02, sixteen million dollars below thos &pf the correspond-

based on the exact amount of privilege which attaches to the testimony given before a committee of congress.
 While General Miles did not expect when he gave his testimony that it would be made public in any form, he is now willing that it shall be pub lished by the committee, making him. self the broad statement that the state mentS which were given to the press as those made by himself before the com mittee were misrepresentation and totally unwarranted.
 The omission by the president of his usual ride this afternoon and the fact that he and Secretary Root were in conference for nearly four hours led to a supposition that they were discussing General Miles testimony. This, how ever was an erroneous conclusion, for they were talking about army organiz- ation, and the secretary was not aware of the testimony until he returned to the war department late in the after noon.
 Secretary Root exhibited little feeling when his attention was called to the proceedings before the committee. He remarked that he was very sorry that Lieutenant General Miles has opposed his bill. As to the question whether General Miles had said anything which would require action at the hands of the department or the president, the secretary firmly declined to express any opinion, for the present at least. pre- ferring to await an official copy of the committee hearing before reaching any decision.

 Coeds in Syracuse University.

Syracuse, N. Y, March 20.-Chan- cellor James R. Day of Syracuse uni versity thinks the young women stu dents are a bit too giddy, and has formed some new rules to go into effect next year which will draw the lines of discipline somewhat tighter. In the future lights shall all be out in the women's dormitory at 10:30 p. nl.. and Prof. J. A. R. Scott and his wife will live in the dormitory and keep strict watch Of the comings and goings of the ''coeds.' A strict surveillance will be kept on the girls who do not live on the campus. The girls have too many so- cial engagements. the chancellor thinks. The university will hereafter conduct the boarding table at Winchell hall. Pianos will not be allowed. The chancellor wants to give the young women better chance to study and also to protect the good name of every girl at the university.
