COLORADO COAL
MINERS WALK OUT
Men in the First District Quit Almost to Man and
Hundreds Join Union-Strke Assumes Proportions
That Even Surpass the Hopes of National Organi-
zation-Armed Guards Protect Property.

TRINIDAD, Col, Nov. Sit is now
evident that the strike of the coal min
ers in the first district of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company is no small af-
fair. In fact, it is a strike out of all
proportions to that even hoped for by
the officers of the United Mine Workers
of America, and ten times what was
looked for by the coal operators.
At the meeting of superintendent
and pit bosses held in the Colorado
Fuel & Iron offices at Trinidad last
Thursday night reports were made that
in no camp would enough men go out
to cause a shutdown.
It is doubtful if enough men can be
found in the whole district by tomor-
row to work the mines at Primero.
At Gray Creek every miner but one
has quit and the camp is surrounded
by armed guards. At Bowen the men
are quitting rapidly. At Tercio the
men quit early. AT Starkville, alone
of the camps reported as being wholly
company men, nearly every man quit.
At Peadmont, the new Rocky Mountain
Fuel company men took their tools
home.
There is not one mine in this section
that can start up tomorrow with a
half crew of miners.
All day the chiefs and miners have
been swarming into Trinidad, nearly
all of them having their pay checks,
running from $1S7 down. The checks
were for such amounts that business
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-09

men could not cash. them and hence
lost thousands of dollars in trade.
All day long the miners have been
joining the United Mine Workers. The
police who were stationed near the CT
flee of that organization to prevent. any
possibility of a clash between the union
and non-union men estimated that at
least 500 joined and came out, show
ing their union cards. Commercial
street for two blocks was at one time
choked with the new union men.
The Italians have quit almost to a
man. They have not joined the union
to any extent, giving as their reason
that they were sold out by the labor
organization on two or three occasions,
and they prefer to go out on their own
responsibility en- this occasion. They
will stay out, their officers say, until
the last one goes back to work. They
have plenty of money as individuals,
and their society has large sums on
deposit in banks here.
The Colorado & Southern, Santa Fe
and Denver & Rio Grande railroads
have reduced their crews nearly one
half, it is said, while the Colorado &
Wyoming is practically out of business
as a coal road.
Sheriff Clark secured deputies in
punches today, many of the men hav-
ing been brought down from the saw
mills and the timber lands in the Stone
wall valley Today $50 men were sworn
in and twenty-five have been sent to
Hastings
So far as can be learned there has
been no violence, but a clash is feared
at Hastings. The expense on the op-
orators for armed guards is now esti-
mated at not less than $1,000 day.

CATCH BIG SWINDLER
Man Worked Entire Country
With Fake Lottery Tickets.

LYNN, Mass, Nov. 8.-What is be-
feved to be an extensive swindle was
brought to light by the police today.
William S. Wells, forty five years of
age, is under arrest charged with print
ing lottery tickets, and also with lar
ceny and with obtaining money under
false pretenses. The police claim that
counterfeit tickets of several lotteries
have been sent from here to all parts
of the country Wells made a partial
confession in which he implicated
man in Dayton, Ohio, as being the
head of the plan and a New York man
was named as being the active man
ager.
The police refused to give the names
of these two men, but have notified the
New York and Dayton police of Wells
arrest and confession.
The plan of operation, according to
Wells statement, was to get genuine
lottery tickets and have Photographic
plates made from them. A record
was kept of the numbers of the tickets
and list of drawing numbers was
sent with each shipment, none of the
numbers of the drawing corresponding
with any number of ticket in the
shipment.

SHAW CANNOT FIGURE A SURPLUS
Observed Annual Report the Secretary
O Treasury.
SURPLUS

The September imports, as shown
by tables published by the department
of commerce last week, were some
what smaller than the August imports,
although last year they were nearly
$9,000,000 larger The September i'm
ports were also nearly $6,000,000 small
er than those of the same month of
1902. Last month the same condition
prevailed which has existed for several
months; the falling off in imports has
been almost entirely confined to those
classes of merchandise which are free
of duty. This condition had direct
effect, of course, on the receipts of the
treasury, and was in fact, the chief
cause which brought about the present
deficit.
The September imports of merchan-
disc amounted to $81, ,S13, ,05S, as against
$82,050.544 in August and as against
$87,736,346 in September Of last year.
OF this years September imports, $685.
SSS,590 were free of duty. This was
45.1 per cent of the whole. In Septem-
Der, 1902, the percentage of free goods
was 41.6.
The amount of the duties collected in
September last was $23,635,074, as
against $26, 6,225,777 in the same month
of last year.
Secretary Shaw will not say that he
expects an improvement in the volume
of the revenues within the next few
months. He declines to say anything
about the expenditures, except that
the ST. Louis exposition appropriation,
which recently became available, made
little extra drain upon the current
receipts of the treasury during the
month of October.

The House.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. s.
The house of representatives will be
called to order at noon tomorrow by
Alexander Mcdowell, the clerk. The
proclamation of the president conven-
ing congress in extraordinary session
having been read, prayer will be Of
fered by the chaplain, and then the roll
will be called by states.
Mr.. Cannon, who has been selected
as the unanimous choice of his party
for speaker, will be formally elected.
After the oath of office is administered
to him the speaker will administer the
oath to the members generally.
Speaker Cannon will appoint a COM
mlttee to join a committee of the SEN
ate to notify the president that a quo
rum OF the two houses has assembled,
and that congress is ready to receive
any communication he may desire to
make.
After adopting resolutions agreed on
in the Republican caucus making the
rules of the Fifty seventh congress the
rules Of the Fifty eighth congress and
hiking an hour for the convening of
the daily sessions, the house in all
probability will adjourn out of respect
to the memory of members who have

On Tuesday the house will listen 10

little can be accomplished, but it is
understood to be the desire of the
house leaders that consideration of the
question of reciprocity trade with
Cuba be pushed as rapidly as possible.

in the treasury should not be allowed
to accumulate. Now the big surplus
has disappeared without the aid Of
changes in the tariff law calculated
to reduce the revenues. Secretary
Shaw says he has never declared that
he was not a revisionist, but he does
assert most emphatically that he is
not revisionist bust at this
time. Revision-whielia would almost
certainly mean lower tariff duties
may be in order at some future time,
but not this year. The secretary thinks
the most radical Of the revisienists
in his own party will subscribe to this
view.
The treasury officials think they see
some indications of lack of conf

the large importers of the country.
Although there are no signs of seri-

able that many importers Of foreign
made goods are buying in smaller
quantities than they did a few months
ago. This fact appears in the records
of the port Of New York, where, al
though just as many invoices of du-
table goods are entered at the custom
house, the average value of the in
voices is smaller than usual. Import
ers seem to be making their purchases
with caution, determined not to be
caught with an oyerstock of goods.

MINISTER
TO BE RECOGNIZED
Envoy Extraordinary of New
Republic to Be Received
Today.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. S.--M.
Philippe Bunau- Varilla will be received
by Secretary Hay tomorrow morning
at the state department and duly rec
ognized as the minister plenipotentiary
and envoy extraordinary of the new
republic of Panama to the United
States. After the presentation a long
conference will take place, at which
plans for the opening of immediate
negotiations for canal treaty between
the two governments will be discussed.
The new minister's first day in Wash
ington was a busy one. He had long
conference with Secretary Hay at the
latter's residence. At this time, he pre-
sented his credentials and the formal
reception at the state department was
arranged for. Secretary Hay and Min
lister VarilIa already have gone over in
considerable detail the necessary steps
toward the conclusion of new treaty,
which, while following to some extent
the Hay-Herran treaty, in many ways
will be simpler. AS regards the finan-
cial conditions the washington govern
ment does not desire any change, but
the provisions of the new treaty re-
garding sovereignty over the canal
strip and the extent of the United
States control will be less complicated
and more positive in statement than
is true of the Hay-Herran Colombian
convention.
Minister varilla talked tonight at his
hotel, where he has temporarily estab-
lished his legation, of his mission at
Washington.
81 consider that the republic of
Panama is today fulfilling all the du-
ties of a regular government. I am
ready to begin negotiations tomorrow
with the Washington government,
which already has extended us prac-
teal recognition. I should say, from
the present outlook, the conclusion Of
satisfactory treaty need be matter
of but short time. We both want
the canal. Why should we wait? we
are both of good faith, and can take. up
the subject in sincerity and with a
common desire to arrive at immediate
and practical results"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. s.
There is a possibility that Secretary
Shaw, in his forthcoming annual re-
port, which will be sent to- congress
on the first Wednesday of next month,
will fail to observe the time-honored
custom of making an estimate of the
probable relation between the treasury
receipts and expenditures at the end
of the current fiscal year. 1t will be
difficult to figure out surplus. When
the proposed repeal of the last of the
war revenue taxes was under discus
sion year and half ago, the predic-
tion was made by some members of
the senate and of the house that the
cut in revenues would cause small
deficit in the treasury for the fiscal
year 1903.
No deficit occurred, for those indus
tries from which internal revenue taxes
are derived prospered tremendously
with the result that the falling off
in receipts on account of the repeal of
war taxes was not nearly so large as
was expected. Nobody anticipated a
deficit in the treasury during the fiscal
year 1904 (the present fiscal period,
but it has come. The chief cause is
the slump in the receipts from Gus
toms.
