Birmingham Ala, August 1.-THE
second week of the hearings Of the
board Of arbitration having in hand
the adjustment of the differences be-
tween the Alabama miners and oper-
ators began this morning.
An unusual large crowd was present
indicating that interest in the pro-
ceedings was increasing rather than
diminishing. Don H. Bacon, presi
dent Of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company, was the first wit
ness today. He gave a lengthy state

conditions and methods prevailing in
the Lake Superior district. drawing
comparisons and conclusions to show
that the cost of production and hand
ling is greater in Alabama.
He also compared the southern
plants of the Tennessee company to
the more modern plants of the north,
showing that the, material could be
handled much cheaper in the north
Mr.. Bacon spoke of the heavy expendi-
ture which his company is making at
this time in order to put its mines and
furnaces in better condition. Some.
thing like million dollars is being
expended, he said. He also made
statement showing that it would cost
a vast sum to completely modernize
the possessions of his company.
A large part of President Bacon's
testimony tended to show that the
southern producer is at disadvantage
in many respect, but still must com.
pete with producers more favorably
situated.

It Is Thought Baron Toll May Have
Baen Lost.
st. Petersburg, July 3t.-(Corre.
spondence of the Associated Press)
The Imperial Academy of Science is
beginning to entertain most serious
fears for the polar explorer, Baron
P Toll, from which nothing has been
heard since he left the yacht Zaria,
July Is, 1902, in company with two
Yakouts and started for Bennett is
land. The Zaria left its winter quar-
ters early in June last year to find
Baron Toll as well as his associate, the
BIOLOGIST Biurouali, who had gone to
New Siberia. The vessel was I'M,
able to accomplish its mission and
returned late in the season to the
river Lena. Biurouali escaped across
the Ice. Three relief parties were
sent out by the academy early last
spring
There seems to be no doubt that
they reached New Siberia quite early
in theseason as the ice was very strong
and present hope IS that Baron Ton
may have been able to return to New
Siberia.

This morning, among others, the

regarding the discharge of his duties

be better for him to be inside the con.
clave precincts instead of outside, as
there were many efforts to establish
communication with those inside and
they could be more effectuaIly checked
If the marshal was inside.
The pontiff afterwards received
Prince Orsini. The pope greeted him
with saying he would be glad If the
prince would retain his office which
he had resigned before the death of
Leo XIII, and expressed the hope that
he would not again resign it. In re.
ply Prince Orsini gave the pope To
understand that his resignation had
nothing to do with the duties of his
office, but was rendered on account Of
his dissatisfaction with the conduct
of certain matters under the late pope.
