CAPT. COGHLAN PARDoNED.
Action Of the President Puts Him at
Head Of Captains,

The President has signed a pardon In the
case of Capt Joseph B. Coghlan, who lost
eleven numbers in his grade some wears
ago as result Of an unusually sharp letter
written by him to Mr.. VIM. P. Moran. the
detail officer Of the Navy Department AS
one of the captains In the battle Of Manila
bay Capt. Coghlan was advanced SO as to
make up good part of the ground he had
lost. The Presidents action makes up the
rest of the ground and places him at the
head Of the list of captains along with
Capt: Sands. Upon the retirement of Ad-
miral Farquhar the latter part of this
month, both will become rear admirals
capt. Coghlan Is carried as an additional
number In grade and thus his advancement
Will not interfere with the promotions of
the officers below him. President Roose-
velt'S action was Influenced strongly by a.
letter from Rear Admiral Henry c. Taylor
the new chief of the bureau of navigation
who among others, earnestly urged the res
toration to Capt. Coghlan of the lost num-
berS.
1t was while Coghlin was a lieutenant
commander In 1876 that the indiscretion oc-
Cured which lost him eleven numbers A
clerk in the bureau of navigation, a Mr.
Moran, had written him letter calling him
to account for some trivial matter which
temper got the better of his judgment and
he wrote a coarsely abusive reply. Moran
brought the matter to the attention Of Rear
Admiral Ammen, the chief of the bureau
and court martial followed. Coghlan was
suspended for a time and while so suspend
ed he was passed on the list by eleven jun
Tors.
1t seems that the letter was written un-
der a misrepresentation, Capt Coghlan be-
lieving that Mr.. Moran had been the cause
Of some trouble to him, which was not the
fact 1t was in his hour of triumphant
homecoming from Manila that Capt. Cogh-
Ian again forgot the naval proprieties In
speech at the Union League Club dinner
April q, he not only spoke his mind freely
about German meddling with Manila but
recited the famous ''Hoch der Kaiser dog
gerel, which will always be associated with
his name.

wn.hinrton.s birthday.

WashingtOn's birthday was made a
legal holiday by vote of the Massachu-
sets legislature April 10, 1856; there
fore Feb. %, 1857, was first a legal
holiday. For many years previous
Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis held recep-
ton at her home on Feb. %, to which
all the people of the city of Boston
were invited. Her house was open to
the public on that day, and before and
after the day became legal holiday
all the military companies of Boston
would parade past her house on the
ODD. Probably the first occasion of
Washington's birthday being recog-
niZed was Feb. u, 1871. That was by
the French troops at Newport, r. L. AS
the 11th fell on Sunday. the celebra-
ton was held on the 18th. This was
according to the old style of reckoning.

Hunters go out from this city every

them enjoy quail and woodcock pies
in spite of the orders of the state
game warden. Game is not so plenti-
full as in former years. The game war
denis department is making a desper-
ate effort TO make a case against Judge
Frank Hammond, who went out OPEN
ly and shot woOdcOck. and then boast
ed of it to a deputy game warden.
Busy Bill Palmer has labored here
several days trying to get sufficient
evidence to convict Judge Hammond,
and the judge has given him all the
information possible, even telling him
where he shot the woodcock. Other
deputies have been here working on
the case quietly. Palmer forwarded
affidavits to the warden's department
and some developments are expected

LOCALS ELECT THEIR DELEGATES
Most of That Work Is Done in 2repara-
ton for the Miners Convention.


Wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. 1S.-In ac-
cordance with the call issued Thurs
day by order of the executive boards
of the anthracite districts of the min
ers' union all locals throughout the
coal field began electing delegates yes
terday to the convention which will
be held here next Monday to consider
the acceptance or rejection of the ar
bitration plans submitted by President
Roosevelt. Most of the local unions
held their meetings last night They
all will have been held by tonight.
1t is practically certain that a ma
jority of the delegates will come to the
convention instructed to vote in favor
of accepting the arbitration scheme.
The prominent officials of the union
say there is no fear that the opposi-
ton will be strong enough to defeat
the efforts of those who favor ending
the strike President Mitchell does not
care to anticipate the action of the
convention, but from his manner it is
taken that he has not the slightest
doubt as to the result He will go
into the convention and make a strong
speech for the acceptance of the ar
bitration scheme. The indications are
the convention will last TWO days, and
that there will be much debate on vari-
GUS features of the arbitration plan.
The conditions at some collieries are
different from those existing at other
places. The principal question to be
disposed before the plan is accepted by
the miners will be that of taking care
of all the men. The conditions of the
mines are such that all workmen can
not be given work Immediately, and
some will have to wait for weeks De
fore the companies can take care OF
them. The operators also will not dis
miss non-union men in order to give
employment to returning strikers IL
is understood that the union will take
care of all such men who fail TO ma
employment. This will be done by
drawing funds from the relief fund,
which is said to be still growing.

Washington Financiers Think the Secre-
tary Has Done About Right.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-The action of
Secretary Shaw in Offering 10 buy
bonds for the sinking fund to relieve
the present stringency in the money
market is favorably commented on by
financiers here. 1t is pointed out that
the S15,O0O,0OO As which the secretary
expects to obtain under this offer will
result in putting into circulation in
principal and interest about $4,000
600, which at this late date in crop
moving will be beyond reasonable
doubt carry the country safely over
the crisis which is annually expert
enced at this period.
Although the secretary's offer was
not made public until noon yesterday
the assistant treasurer at New York
at p. m. reported to the department
that $S,203, 400 had been already depos-
tied in the sub-treasury there. OF this
amount 100000 were in As the
acceptance of which the secretary has
had under consideration for several
days. 1t is expected that by tonight
at least S7,0O0,000 additional will have
been offered and accepted.
1t is definitely learned at the Ma
tionaI City bank that a syndicate head
ed by that bank is to sell $15.OOOOOO
in bonds to the government. The syn
dicate is made up of the National City
bank. Harvey Fisk & Sons, Fisk &c
Robinson, FarsOn Leach & Co. and
Vermilye & Co. The government hav-
ing agreed to the purchase of $1,000
600 at 13S fiat, and any amount more
of these bonds at the price named in
Secretary Shaw's offer. $9.0OO.OOO were
turned in yesterday by the syndicate,
and the remainder will he put in later
Some of the members of the syndi-
cate are turning their bonds over to
the National City bank for delivery
to the sub-treasury, and others are
turning the bonds into the sub-treasury

As to the Acceptance of
the Mine Arbitra-
ton Plan.
CAME FROM SCRANTON
Most of the Convention
Delegates Are Elect
ed, However.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 1S.-RepOrts were
circulated last night that locals of the
United Mine Workers in West Scran-
ton. PittstOn and some other locali-
ties had voted to instruct their dele
gates to oppose the acceptance of the
operators proposition unless the COM
panies would agree to discharge the
nOn-union men, take back all the old
employees. drop the suits instituted
against strikers. and recognize the I'M
ion. 1t was impossible TO verify these
reports. but they are persistently and
generally circulated. \ significant fact
in this connection was the concern of
District President Nichols over pub
ished report that he was at the head
of Il movement to oppose the accept
ance of the proposition.
No Truth in the Report.
This report said Nichols, lis do
ing no end of mischief. 1t has caused
our men to view the proposition with
suspicion and when they suspected it
they commenced to look for the flaws
which they supposed 1 had found in it.
/ have heard of locals in different
places being disposed to vote against
the proposition. and l must admit it is
causing some worry at headquarters.
1 want it stated that the report that 1
am opposed to the proposition is abso-
lutely false and without foundation"
''Will the leaders of the United Mine
Workers give the members any advice
or instructions regarding their con-
duct toward the nOn-union men?" was
asked of Nichols
His View of NOn-Unionists.
81 do not think so,' replied Nichols.
81 do not see that we are called upon
to ask our men to take those fellows
to their hearts and treat them as they
would dear friend. In 1900 l adj
vised that the non-uniOnists be treated
in a friendly manner with a view of
winning them over. / do not propose
to do it again. As far as men con-
tinued to work at their own jobs art
concerned / have nothing so say. As
for those who went into the mines
and took other wOrkmen's places / am
of the opinion they are not worth win
ming to our side. don't think we want
them"

Checking n Hemorrhage.

Even a very slight hemorrhage is al
ways startling, but it does not neces-
sarily mean anything dangerous. 1t
may be caused by n slight disarrange-
ment of the stomach as well as by a
disease of the lungs or heart. No one
but an experienced physician should
decide this question. however. Let the
patient lie quietly and give him cold
drinks until a physician comes. 4 lit
tie sailed water is a simple. familiar
household remedy for such cases.
Quiet and rest are positively essential
