The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record-Herald devotes a long
article to Analysing the report of the sec
rotary Of war to the Senate, from which he
considers that it is more than possible
that General smith is not guilty, after all.
IF this turns out TO be the case" he
goes on, "a good many newspapers which
lost their heads in the prevailing excite
ment will have to get down on their knees
and apologize to the old warrior" If the
experience should make them more cau-
tious hereafter it would be valuable, but
the disease of sensationalism is difficult to
eradicate.

age is already apparent to-day. Dealers
were besieged all of Sunday by the Gus
toners and they say they have more orders
than they can fill in a month, even with the
mines running. on an average the .Phila-

transports through this city about 1.600
cars of anthracite coal daily. This
does not include what is carried west via
Newberry. To handle this traffic required a
large number of engines. all of which will
be thrown out of service. Besides the main
line coal train crews II will AFFECT many Of
the shifting crews all along the line. Ma
hanoy plane will be thrown out of service,
and, with few exceptions. all the crews en-
ployed at Cressona. Gordon, Shamokin and
Palo Alto will be put on shorter hours.

result. This statement was made on the
afternoon of the disaster at Martinique.
