GREAT HOLIDAY TRADE
Only Adverse Feature of the Situation Is
That Coal Is Scarce for All
Purposes.

New York, Dec. 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade today
says: Holiday trade has exceeded even
the most sanguine expectations. and
retail dealing in all staple lines of mer-
chandise are well maintained, with the
better grades of goods in brisk demand.
Wholesome conditions prevail in most
sections of the country, although i'll
parts of the southwest the season has
fallen behind the average. Even in
these cases reports are encouraging
for the future. Industrial plants are
well employed, orders running far into
the future, and labor controversies are
rare.
The only adverse feature of the Situ-
alton is the fact that supplies of fuel
are utterly inadequate. both for house
hold and manufacturing uses, snow in
creasing the delay of deliveries. Rail
way earnings thus far reported for
December exceed last years by Al
per cent. and those of 1900 by 10.4 per
cent. Two events of Importance have
occurred in relation to the leading
manufacturing industry-the United
States Steel CorpOration-has greatly
extended its scope by absorbing many
outside plants and certain desirable
railway connections, and the an
nouncement of advanced freight rates

Arizona engineers regard the Grand

In addition to the immense power OF

The plan by which the power OF the

SPECIAL FROM NEW YORK
Paints to the German Eye I'm BIood-Red
the Feeling There.

Berlin. Dec. 2O.-A semi-official state
ment in The NOrd DeutSche Allge-
meine Zeituhg says: "A local paper
has published cablegram from New
York saying: The greatest excitement
prevails here. The entire press holds
Germany TO be responsible for the
present situation. Germany is attacked
in hostile articles. while Great Brit
ain is praised. The newspapers insist
that Germany intends to acquire col
onies in Venezuela and Brazil
We have noticed similar kilograms
in English papers. and if these state
ments are representative of the feel
ing i'll the United States with even
approximate correctness we would
have sincerely to deplore that the
American press shows itself accessible
to wholly unfounded suspicious of
German policy. The government of
the United States long ago was cate
gorically informed that Germany is
seeking nothing in Venezuela beyond
satisfaction for just claims and COM
pensation.
The AnglO-German cooperation is
based upon ;he similarity of the inter-
ests affected. and only wilfull pre-
judice could detect a difference in the
proceedings Of the two countries The
course of events will demonstrate that
the intentions of the German govern
ment are free from adventurous mo-
tiveS."

Feeling of the Man Expelled from the a.
o. H.-More Specimen Boycotts.

o. H.-MOre Specimen Boycotts.
James Mitchell was the man who
was expelled from the Hibernian So
cicty. He said he worked during the
strike as Il repair man. and did not
consider it unfair because he did
not mine any coal. He had been
member of the society twenty-six or
twenty-eight years, and at a meeting
one night during the strike the ques-
ton of his ''unfairness" came up, and
the members present unanimously
voted to eXpel him. He had been pay
Ing dues all these years and was in
good standing, but he added that he
was now glad he was out of it.
\ Polander named Max Lasar, who
did not quit when the strike was in
augurated, told of how n man threw Il
quart bottle of giant powder, to which
a lighted fuse was attached. into the
parlOr of his home. He eXtinguished
the fuse. The powder was shown to
the commission. Eugene Deity. in no
way connected with the strike, said he
was mistaken for nOn-union man at
night and so badly beaten that he was
laid up for two months.
Thomas Kennedy. aged 10 years,
worked in a drug store in Carbondale.
His father was an engineer in the
employ of the Delaware and Hudson
company and did not quit work when
the strike started The manager of the
drug store was requested by Il COM
mittee from the union to discharge
him, and rather than have the store
bOycotted the druggist told the boy to
quit. The father corroborated the
story. and added that he had to keep
his children from the public schools as
they were being abused.
David Z. Lewis, a foreman working
for the Delaware and Hudson COM
pany, said the authorities of the bor-
Ough of Olyphant made no attempt
TO keep the peace. Most of them were
mine workers, or relatives of mine
workers. John Lewandofski. who
worked during the strike for the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany, testified to an attempt being
made to blow up his house with dyna-
mite. The explosive and the fuses
were produced before the commission.

was good union man and that all
union men should treat him in
friendly manner $50 long as he bc-
haved himself accordingly"
John COnlin, a mine boss and presi-
dent of the school board of Plains,
near Wilkesbarre, testified that n com
mittee of a local union called on him
and asked that school teachers whose
relatives were working in the mines be
not reappointed as teachers. Frank
McCarty, Il teacher in Miners Mills,
was next called and said he was not
reappointed. and the only reason given
was politics" His father was mine
foreman and was working during the
strike. He knew of in female teacher
whose father did not strike who failed
of reappointment.
All the other witnesses testified to

more times. that grOcers. butchers.
