We thoroughly agree with The Chatta- nooga Times that the miserable scribbler who set afioat the lying story that Capt. Hobson was to marry Mss Ruth Bryan Is if anything a worse enemy to society and to the newspaper profession than even the scamp who slandered General Wheeler and the Confederate veterans in his write-up of the incidents of the New Orleans reunion. Newspaper editors owe it rot only to their patrons, but to the protection of society to protect women against these sensational, penny-a-liner gossip mongers. The sympathies of the country will be not only with Miss Bryan, but with her distinguished father because of this cruel hoax. We do not mean to say that 1t would not be cred,table to
 this lady or any other in the land to have in prospect the gallant young Alabamian for a husband-that Is not it; Captain Hobson is worthy of the best woman in
 the country, but it is the careless hand ling of good woman's name in the pub lie prints to supply the demands of pru- riency and sensationalism that demands and ought to receive the prompt, viz orous and effective attention of the pub lie press. Fortunately, MT. Bryan had 1 the good sense to deny this story at once, thus relieving Captain Hobson and Miss
 Bryan from an embarrassing position"

Senatorial courtesy is phrase used to cover up all sorts of political trickery and inconsistencies. It is alleged as one of the reasons for removal of the postmast- CT in Delaware, about which so much fuss has been made, that she was of fensive to Senator Alice alias Addicks. Now how will that sort of an excuse stand up against the action of the Presl- dent in the case of the negro woman, Minnie Cox? She was personally offen- sive to both the Mississippi Senators, bu: that made no difference with this admin istration. The office has been closed, the people subjected to inconvenience and in- dignity and the negro woman postmaster is regularly paid her salary. It Is owing to who the Senator may be, whether or not Senatorial courtesy can be made to cut any figure.

Friends of the proposition to exempt
mortgage and land contracts from taxa
ton won decided victory in the Senate
Wednesday afternoon, the Kelly bill for
that purpose being passed, II to 10, inst
enough to put the measure through. The
principal fighters against the bill were
Senators Lockerby, Weeks and Scripps,
and there was some warm discussion in
committee of the whole, The House got
down to business in good shape, passing
a number of local bills, and putting
through on third reading ten bills, which
measures were agreed to In committee
of the whole Tuesday. One of the re-
suits of rushing local bills throug with
out reading them, simply because the
member or Senator from the district af-
fected says the bill is all right, is that
some wonderful things in way of verdi
age are given the sanction of the Legis
lature. Although many of these meas
ures are drawn by lawyers who ought to
know how to prepare bill, at least well
enough to make sense, many are put
through in such way that they mean
nothing.

ito some extent over the whole region and
throughout the whole period.
President Mitchell and his immediate
chiefs of the miners union are held Off
cially blameless for violence. actual and
threatened, in the anthracite regions, but
a strong rebukc is administered to those
persons who resented the presence Of the
militia called out by Gov. Stone of Penn
sylvania to protect the coilieries.
1t appears that all the concessions
made are clear gains to the miners, the
operators having conceded nothing end
having denied the right of the commits
sion to inquire into their contractual re-
lations with the miners. According to
the labor leaders they fatty refused to
arbitrate.
According to the miners counsel all
the awards made by the commission rep
resent net gains to the miners, although
1t is admitted that President Baer offered
at one time to fix the minimum wage
scale on the basis of s. coal. The COM
mission fixed this basis at $4.0O.
Better Wages and Shorter Eours.
Under the commissions awards miners
not working by the day, month or year
will be granted an advance in wages of
10 per cent and miners working by the
day, month or year will be granted n
nine-hour instead of q ten-hour day. The
wages of the former class, it is figured,
will be advanced 1913 per cent, rs they,
too, have been granted a nine-hour in
stead of ten hour day. Firemen and
engineers under the decision of the Gray
commission are given an eight-hour in
stead of twelve hour day and the wages
of some of these employees have been
advanced.
In addition to a general advance of 10
per cent in most instances and decrease
In working hears the commission recon-
mends the settlement of all disputes by
arbitration and provides minimum
wage with sliding scale. Provis-
ion is also made against discrimination
of persons either by mine owners or min
ers on account of membership or. nom
membership in labor union, and it Is
provided that the awards of the COM
mission shall be in force until March 81 +,
1906.
The miners having worked 100
DAYS since Nov. l. 1902, it is estimated
lual DdCh pay oue tiASiiA wiz ASdCl uedE-
ly $3,000,O00 and that advanced wages
will amount approximately to $S,000,0o0
a year.
The commission in no instance met the
full demands Of the miners, but the
awards made are considered liberal, in
view of the bitterness of the strike con-
troversy. The commission also favored
the miners by recommending the with
drawal of the coal and iron police and
modification of the child labor law in
favor of the miners.

Maybrick went to the races at Wirral
one day eleven years ago. He was
caught in the rain and was taken sick
with a high fever, which the doctors
said was fatal on the following day Mr..
Mayhrick was addicted to the arsenic
habit, which was unknown to his wife.
During his illness he asked his nurse
for some white powders, but she, know
ing them to contain arsenic refused.
While the nurse was away Maybrick
asked his wife to get him the powders,
which she did. She put the powder in
cup Of beef tea at his direction, but
while she was preparing this Maybricl1
fell asleep and never drank the liquid.
He died thirteen days later. Brothers Of
Maybricb began the prosecution, which
resulted in the conviction Of Mrs. May
brick
The trial was a long one, and held the
attention of England. Popular sympathy
was with Mrs. Maybrick
Sir Charles Russell conducted her de-
Tense ably, although given the case at a
late hour, but the police had collected
an overwhelming mass of circumstantial
evidence, and after thirty-six minutes
elaboration the jury returned n verdict
to convict Mrs. Maybrck was sentenc-
cd to death, but the sentence was COM
muted to life Imprisonment.

The State civil service bill, with its
referendum rider, went to third reading
Thursday for final vote some time the
following week. Efforts to take off the
referendum section failed, and with that
effort, desire to amend it further ended.
The House passed the supreme judicial
reapportionment bill. This is the bill
which changes the fourth Supreme Court
district so as to make it a Republican
district Judge Carter, who sits on the
Supreme bench from that district, is
Republican, and his term expires this
year. The game bill. which practically
all of the sportSmen's associations and
hunting clubs have been working for,
had to run for lis life from amendments.

BIG STEAMERS CRASH.
Nearly a Dozen Persons Are Drowned
In Long Island Sound.

In Long Island Sound.
Nearly a dozen men lost their lives
and 700 narrowly escaped drowning
when two large steamers collided in the
fog which lowered over the waters Of
Long Island Sound Thursday night. The
large Fall River passenger steamer Ply
mouth, from New York for Fall River,
with 500 passengers and a crew of 200
men, was run down, while passing
through the Race, by the freight steamer
City of Taunton of the same line, bound
from New York.
A hundred feet of the starboard side
of the Plymouth was smashed as if it
had been paper, the staterooms of the
second cabin were cut away and in the
hold members of the crew who were
asleep were drowned by the torrent that
rushed through the great gap made by
the bow of the freighter.
Although terrified, the people aboard
the ship exercised great self-control and
there was no panic. The collision oc-
CURED after the vessel had made her way
up the sound through the fog until she
reached point east of Gull Island. The
City of Taunton came up suddenly, ard
when she was sighted by the officers of
the Plymouth was too close to avoid the
collision. There was quick exchange
Of signals and then the crash. The bow
of the City of Taunton penetrated ten
feet into the hull of the Plymouth, ard
as she backed away she raked the up
per works of the passenger vessel, tear
ing out the second cabin and ripping the
staterooms to pieces. Water poured into
the hold and drowned the men in their
hunks.
1t was thought at one time that the
ships company would have to take to
the boats, but the closing of the collision
bulkhcads prevented the water from gain
ing and the vessel made the harbor and
wharf unaSSisted.

ton to vote of the people, was non-con-

carried, 60 to 81. Mr.. Ray then moved
concurrence in the bill. After over an
hours discussion the bill was concurred
in, 81 to 80. The anti-cigarette bill, pro-
hihitng the sale or importation of cigar
cites into the State, was reported favor
ably for passage by the committee on
health and sanitation with an amend
ment providing that in case the fine for
violating the law is not paid punish
ment shall be by Imprisonment from
thirty to ninety days. Mr.. Cody object

for the bill, referring to his experience
as an assessor in Milwaukee, pointing
out that it was only the poor people who
paid the tax on such Instruments. Mr..

GAIN FOR THE MINERS
STRIKE COMMISSION GIVES RE-
SUIT OF ITS INQUIRY.
While Labor Leaders Are Commended
for Their Attitude, RiotinG and Boy
colt Are Denounced in Strong Terms
Union Is Not Recognized.

Although declaring the anthracite cCal
miners entitled to the increase in pay
for which they fought, the strike COM
mission selected by President Roosevelt,
In its report gives no formal recognition
to the union and has some harsh things
to say regarding the lawlessness that
marked the recent struggle.
The individual men are blamed for
crimes committed during the strike, but
the commission exonerates the president
Of the union and the national leaders of
any responsibility and declares they did
all possible to maintain peace. Com
plants against the militia and special
guards are held to prove the bad intent
of those Directing, as peacefully inclin-
ed men should not oppose the presence
Of officers of the law.
In brief, the commission recommends
a general increase Of wages, amounting
in most instances to 10 per cent.
Some decrease of time.
The settlement of all disputes by ar
bitration.
Fixes minimum wage and sliding
scale.
Provides against discrimination Of
persons by either the mine owners or the
miners on account of membership or
non membership in labor union.
Provides that the awards made shall
continue in force until March 81 1906.
The increase in wages where based on
the sliding scale will in some instances
amount to as much as 20 per cent espe
cially if the present prices of coal are
maintained.
Social conditions in the mine region
are declared good, and it is stated that
the average pay will compare favorably
with that in other lines of work Of the
same grade. Touching the question of
discrimination, lawlessness, boycotting
and blacklisting, the commissioners state

An aged negro orator, j. G. Fremont
of Watcrtown, S. d, who at the close
of the Civil War was president of the
society that sent many negroes back to
africa, called on Congressman Tawncy
in Winona, Mimi, the other day and
asked for n private interview. He said
he had Il communication which he desir-
ed the Congressman to convey to the
President. This was to the effect that
Fremont had obtained information that
II plan had been made to attempt the life
of Roosevelt on his western trip, but that
this had been abandoned and instead the
plotters were planning at some favorable
point in Montana or Colorado to capture
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, See
rotary of War Root and Attorney Cen
eral Knox and carry them to the noun

Fremont refused to divulge the source
