GIVES UP HIS THRONE.
Indian Prince Voluntarily Retires I'm
Favor of His Son.

LONDON, Feb 3.-The correspondent of
the Times at Delhi sends an account of the
abdication. on Saturday, of the Maharajah
Holkar, the Mahratta chief of Indore. a
state of Central India, In favor of his son,
Tukoji Rao. a bright lad Of twelve, which,
the correspondent says, was an event un-
precedented in Anglo-Indian annals. There
have been several occasions when the par
amount power has been compelled todepose
the native rulers. but never before has a
feudatory Indian prince renounced his
throne on his own initiative.
At Durbar held in the new palace. a
massive granite structure, and attended by
British and native high dgnitaries, the
Maharajah briefly alluded TO the state of
a set speech announcing his abdication and
earnestly exhorting his successor to be
loyal to the British and TO fulfill his moral
and religious duties. He then surrendered
his seat and rendered homage to his son.
The young ruler proceeded to the old pal
ace, where the religious ceremony OF in
stallation was proceeded with. The Holkar
displayed great dignity throughout.
There exists, unhappily. the correspond
ent adds, a hereditary faint in the family.
which. from the time of Lord Ripon, has
caused the gravest concern 10 the viceroys.
Whatever his shortcomings as a ruler I'm
his own state, however, the Holkar was
always a loyal feudatory. and entertained
a special veneration for Queen Victoria.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-02-04

is 81 or more; the rate in two occupations is
fact that bituminous coal mining is one of
seven occupations insured at the rate of
SO cents shows how it is regarded by in
surance companies. The figures show that
the chances of fatal accident are three
times as great in electric light plants as in
bituminous coal mines; three times as great
in stone quarries; equally as great in plan
ing mills and cooper shops; five times as
great in excavating cellars; five times as
great among brick and stone masons; near
ly four times as great among carpenters,
and so on. In the entire list of fifty occu-
pations only one is lower than bituminous
coal mining. and only six as low. AS in
surance companies do business on the basis
of these figures they must be at least ap-
proximately correct.
Equally instructive from a different point
of view, were some other figures published
in the Journal yesterday. They were
brought out by the anthracite coal strike
commission in the examination of III. l..
Newcomb. statistician for the Interstate
commerce Commission, and are worth care
full study. The report says:
Mr.. Newcomb introduced tables showing
the average annual earnings during 1901 OF
workmen employed in several manufactur-
ing towns of Pennsylvania. The statistics
affected 418,7S0 wage earners, and the total
of wages amounted to $221 138, 149, or an av-
erage of 1852 a man. The average in New
York, the witness said, was about per
cent. higher, but in New England the diff
ference was immaterial. The average daily
earnings of anthracite miners, the witness
said. were about $2.05. making the yearly
average about $500. Statements were pre-
sented showing that in four counties in the
hard-coal fields the total bank deposits
amounted to sos, PSI 335, or a per capita de-
post of S8l.50. In eight counties of the BIZ
luminous region the bank deposits were
41,S20,611, a per capita of S60.40. In seven
agricultural counties the total deposits

WASHINGTON, Feb 3-The Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations to-day agreed
to report favorably the treaty with Colon
bia for building an isthmian canal. Only
two senators, Morgan and Bacon. voted
against it. Senator Bacon announced that
his opposition was to the time of reporting
and not to the treaty itself. He said he was
favorable to the treaty II stands and
would vote for IL. but that he believed 1t
should not be reported until consideration
in committee should be thoroughly ex-
hausted. The committee will recommend
the ratification of the treaty without
amendment. Senator Cullom says hs has
formed no plans for calling IL up I'm the
Senate. The general opinion of members OF
the committee is that Senator Morgan will
continue his opposition on the floor of the
Senate and that several long sessions will
be necessary TO secure a vote.
