they have been working twelve and
thirteen hours a day for less than s.,
and they demand 50 for nine hours
work. They also demand recognition
Of the union and the adoption of GER

New York, Dec 2.-Baron Max Won
| Oppenheim, imperial German counsel-
ilor, diplomat, author and explorer, Will
sail for Germany to-day after So
iourn in this country of seven months.
j During this time he has gained, ne
says, "a knowledge such as could be
acquired in no other way than by
long study Of the country"
1.-The remarkable development and
the yastness of the country said he,
surpassed anything / expected. The
western country which the railroads
! have developed in recent years is a
marvel. I never thought to see such
universal growth and such business
geslius that caused it. I have been
|astonished at the versatility of the
! American business man and mechan-
ic, and 1 especially think the Ameri-
can business man has a singular
adaptability for anything that turns
up, so that for the moment each one
is a specialist in his line. Everything
here is on a grand scale. You can't
appreciate your own vastness unless
| YOU have the perspective of the for
/ eigner.
/ Il have visited all branches of in
dustry while here, and do not think
! the apex of your development has
/ been reached. There seems to be an
/ immense strength to your men and
nation, a yirility that is Incompatible
IL can easily understand now what is
meant by. the strenuous life.' There
seems to be no limit to your enter
prise and invention, and can say, as
one who has seen the civilizations of
Europe. Africa and Asia, that my
knowledge was incomplete until I fin

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Twc days over
due, the American line steamer St.
Louis arrived in port after one Of the
toughest voyages she has ever expert
enced. From the hour that she left
Southampton until she was sighted off
Nantucket lightship she had> head
winds and such terrific storms that on
ly half dozen of the fifty cabin pas
sengers were able to appear regularly
at the meals. The storms that the ST.
Louis ran into~were. SO severe that one
life was lost, and every bit of baggage
below decks was still soaking wet
when taken out on the pier.

SMITH ON -POLYGAMY,
Mormon Church Does Not Sanction
Plural Marriages.

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. Pin an
interview President Joseph Smith Of
the Mormon church defined the present
position of the church with respect to
polygamy.
"It is evident" he said, ''that, with
no additions to the total, but a rapid
and continual decrease, the number of
polygamist families will soon be re-
duced to Zero
'.The church does not desire to enter
the controversy over this question"
said President Smith, "but it is anX-
ious that its own people as well as the
people Of the country should under
stand its position"
Does the Mormon church soIemnize
or permit plural marriages" 20, President
Smith was asked. s-
Certainly not,'s he replied. 'The
church does not perform or sanction or
authorize marriage in any form that is
contrary to the laws of the land. The
assertion that prominent Mormons
practice polygamy is evidently made
to mislead the public. Polygamy under
the law is the marrying of a husband
or wife while the legal husband or
wife is living and undiyorced. There is
no such offense committed by sanction
of the Mormon church. But when the
prohibition of poIyganly was pro-
claimed by the president of the Nor
mon church there were many persons
who had contracted plural marriages,
and that relation has been continued
in many instances because the men in
that position determined not to aban-
don their families. but to care for and
provide for them and educate and cher
ish their children.
This is errcneously constructed as
practicing polygamy and creates the
impression that polyganous maria ges
are still permitted in and by the
church"
President Smith was asked to define
the position Of Mr.. Snoot in the church,
his position as an apostle having been
compared to that of a cardinal or arch
bishop in other churches.
''The two positions are not parallel,
President Smith said. .An apostle OF
seventy or elder or bishop in the
Church of Jesus Christ OF Latter Day
Saints is usually engaged in some secu-
lar vocation or laboring in some ca
pacity for his daily bread. He is or
dained to the Office he holds in the
priesthood SO that he may act in that
calling when required. He gives his
services gratuitously to the church.
There are instances, of course, when q
mans whole time is taken up with
some church duty that he receives re-
muneration therefor, but as a rule men
holding positions in the priesthood are
engaged in secular callings and are
men of affairs.
e.Reed Smoot is q banker, the man
ager of the largest manufacturing insti-
tuition IN this state and is interested
greatly in mining operations and other
temporal pursuits. He is recognized as
q capable and entcrprising citizen, and
his position in the church need not in
fcrfere in any way with his services to
fhe state or the nation in any political
Office to which he may be elected. 1t is
not true that he has been pat forward
by the church as candidate for public
Office, but he has fhe same right that
any other American citizen enjoys to
accept any Office to which his fellow
citizens may elect him to occupy"

Tradesmen Say Conditions Have
Not Improved One Bit.
100000 TONS OF COAL DAILY,

Is Now Coming to Tidewater-Twen-
ty-Six Thousand of 1t Is for New
York, the Balance Goes Into New
England-A Blizzard Would Send
Price of Anthracite So High That it
Would Be Considered Luxury,
New York, Dec 2.-Upon the wealth
er only depends whether New York
viii be visited by the greatest coal
famine in its history, says the Herald.
Men who are interested in the va
riouS branches of the tlnde declare
they cannot get more than day away
from the condition that existed at the
end of the coal strike and they Will
not be able to get further away this
winter. If a blizzard should tie up
the railroads, three days will see the
few remaining tons selling at prices
which will make them luXurieS.
AT the offices of the coal carrying
roads it was said every effort is being
made to meet the test when it comes,
but there was little hope.
There is coming to tidewater daily
about one hundred thousand tons of
hard coal. About twenty-siX thous-
and tons of this comes to New York.
The rest goes to New England and
Canada.
New York's real actual demand in
winter is about thirty thousand tons a
day The supply. therefore, is about
four thousand tons short. AS it must
be distributed fairly, no one dealer can
fill an entire order, nor can customer
get what he desires.
President Lederle, of the board Of
health, has ordered officials of the ele-
waited roads, nevertheless. to show
cause on Wednesday, why they Should
not abate the use OF soft coal.
