IN HOTEL LoBBlES
The American Custom.

T like the American idea ofsetting aside a day for general thanksgiving" said a travelled man yesterday. "I believe that good will is contagious and Shakespeare did not miss it when he said ,"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin, the spirit which seems to prevail here today is beautiful to behold and the work of the Mercy Home and the United Char ities ought to receive high commendation.
 Tn England they have what is known as harvest festivals at the different churches but no special day is observed. Each church selects day suitable to it. self and it is made a day of thanksgiving in the parish. The churches are decorated with sheaves of wheat, flowers, bread and ferns and usually, a large loaf of bread anywhere from three to ten feet long is placed on the altar. On the day following the festival the breadstuff Is given to the poor of the parish while the flowers are sent to the sick This is. of course, very beautiful, but at the same time like the American Thanksgiving day better.

NEW RAILROADS FOR
SIBERIA PLANNED
Several PurpoSed Lines Which Rus
STA Will Establish.

Siberia is about to be benefited by
number of new railroads. The govern
ment has taken up the matter. and es-
been submitted.
Concerning these improvements, r. T.
Greener, the United States commercial
agent at Vladivostock. has written the
State Department as follows:
The council Of state has received for
approval the following extraordinary es-
Inmates for railways: Three hundred
and nine thousand dollars for con

the Manchurian line. $4,000, 900 for the
road around Ike BaIkaI, and $1,000, 900
for the road from the Soochau coal
mines to Nanodka Bay, and also for a
line from the Ussuri Railroad to the
same mines. to facilitate transporta-

Siberian Reporter a private com

ORNAMENTAL IRON
WORKERS ON STRIKE
Union Men Demand Shorter Hours of
Labor

For the purpose of decreasing the
number OF hours OF labor each day, the
ornamental iron workers of this city
have organized a union. and number
OF members Of the organization have
already gone on a strike for the reduc-
ton which IS ssked for. II is asserted
that almost all local iron workers Will
strike by Monday morning. The men
ask that eight. instead OF nine. hours
constitute a days labor with them.
Last Monday the workers at the es-
Establishment Of A. F. Jorss. went out
because they did not get the reduction.
and have refused to report until the
demand IS granted. A temporary or
Eanizatfon was formed on Wednesday.
and the men employed at the F. s.
Gichner Iron Works Joined them. The
ttirty-hve employees this concern
refuse 10 report on Monday If the de-
maDd is not granted by that time.
The larger portion OF the strikers
are Germans, and all OF them served
their apprenticeship IA the Father
land. The employers have taken de-
cided stand and refuse TO yield, despite
the fact that only the mechanics from
Germany can do the ornamental iron
work which Is called for.

McKEESPORT, Pa. March 27.-Martin

death. -Four, times within year he was
disappointed when success seemed as
cured Today he took measures that
could not fail Kim.
About a year ago Shantz fell from a
roof in DuQuesne where his home was,
and received injuries which would have
killed any man who did not bear =
charmed life. He promptly recovered.
Not long after that he was struck by
train. and picked up for dead But
after a few days in a hospital he vas
up and about as usual.
Last November he was locked up in
the city hall for trifing offense. While
there he tried TO hang himself with a
suspender. but was cut down in the
nick of time.
A few days aftcrward he ate the sui
phur of the greater part of a box Of
matches, in another attempt at suicide,
but the result was only a slight sickness
at the stomach.

UNITED STATES NAVY
GREATEST IN THE WORLD
Admiral Dewey Thinks Germans
OvereStimated.

NEW YORK. March 2T.-Admiral
George Dewey, according to an inter
view in the Newark Evening News" on
Wednesday night. made comparisons be-
tween the United States Navy. which he
pronounced the greatest in the world.
and the German navy. He said that
in his opinion the latter's efficiency was
greatly overestimatcd.
Admiral Dewey says the Caribbean
maneuvers were gerat object lesson 10

entertains grave doubts as TO the Pana-
ma Canal scheme. In his opinion the
canal could be easily blocked by the
enemy in time of war The admiral is
reported to have said.
The United States Navy is the great

navy. My belief is that its efficiency in
possible action is greatly overes timated.

RESERVE BULLION FOR
PHILIPPINES COIN
Important Decision of the
Treasury Department.
MAY MINT SILVER ON HAND
Government Not to Buy Large Quanti-
ties of Bullion at Ficti-
tiOus Values

Silver bullion cannot be unloaded on
the Treasury Department at fictitious
values. Assistant Secretary Allies makes
this plain in an announcement to the
effect that the department had the
authority TO use reserve bullion on hand
for the coinage OF pesos for the Phil
ippines. IN accordance with the act ap-
proved March 2. 1903.
Under the Philippines coinage act It
Is necessary for the Treasury Depart
ment TO turn over 10 the War Depart
raent 5000 900 pesos, or about s.. OOc OO0.
before the bill can go into effect. This
must necessarily be followed by further
large amounts.
The result is that investors in bullion
have planned TO unload silver on the
Government at increased prices, think
ing that the supply on hand for sub
sidiary coinage under the act OF 1880
could not be used. The decision OF AS
rather disconcerting to these investors
inasmuch as the Government has about
SS0,OO0.OO0 of this bullion in reserve.
An Erroneous Report.
An erroneous statement has gone out
TO the effect that the Treasury De-
partment would receive offers on Mon
days and Thursdays until further notice
of bullion for use at the Bureau OF the
Mint in coming pesos. As a matter
of fact. the Treasury Department has
made purchases from time to time.
obtaining nearly 100000 worth last
Friday. in preparation for this extraor-
binary need.
The Bureau of the Mint IS already
at work coming pesos under the Phil
lippines bill. On April IS IL is ex-
pected the necessary 100000 pesos viii
be turned over to the War Department
for shipment 10 the islands When
that amount is received the act will be
in effect.
Must Be Replaced.
The decision giving the department
authority 10 use silver bullion now on
hand makes it necessary. however. that
sums thus diverted must be replaced
before the finished coins leave the
Treasury Department. So long as the
coins are IN the Treasury Department
the silver is there and VIII be counted
as SO much reserve bullion. Thus the
act OF 1880 IS not violated in any par
ticular
The purchases which are advantage
ously made from time to time will be
turned into this reserve 20 take the
place of that which is drawn for use
in coming under the Philippines act so
that by April Is, when il is planned
10 turn over the first shipment OF fin
ished coin. it is expected the necessary
$1,000. 600 worth OF bullion viii be on
hand.
Arrangements have been completed
for the issue OF the Philippines certi-
hcates, which will bear the portrait
OF Washington. A suggestion has been
made that the small notes for the
Philippines shall bear the portraits OF
Mckinley General Lawton and Jose
Rial FOR the ten, Eve and two peso
notes. respectively.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreets report on trade last
week says:
Previously existing favorable condi-
lions still rule. Spring trade shows
further expansion, particularly in dry
goods, such as linens, wash fabrics,
underwear and woolens. Clothing,
shoes and hardwood lumber are act
i've and the volume of shipments Of
spring goods to fill orders offers still
another problem for the congested
transportation companies to solve. A
spell of mild weather has induced the
beginning Of the usual clearance sales
of surplus winter goods by retailers.
It has also tended to soften the acute
ness Of the anthracite coal shortage at
the east and cause a lowering Of prices.
This, however, is regarded as temper
airy only, another seasonable cold snap
containing great possibilities in the
way of enhanced prices. The snow
covering winter wheat is not uniform
and is on the whole rather scant, but
no unusual deterioration is reported.
Textiles, particularly cotton and
wooden goods, occupy a strong posi-
ton.
Business failures for the week end
ing January % number 253.
Wheat (including -FOUR exports fol
the week ending January % aggregate
3,53S,757 bushels. Wheat exports since
