wH1sKEY GOES TO HAMBURG.
Kentucky Distillers Preparing to Ex- mort 20. 900 Barrels.

Louisville, Aug. 12-Kentucky distillers are making preparations for the expor- tation of 10000 barrels of whisky to Hamburg and Bremen TOT storage pur- poses. It is principally or the crop Of 1903.
 This is the first time in the history of Kentucky that any large amount or young whisky was exported and matur- ed in Europe. Heretofore whisky has only been exported when about to be forced out of bond. This will be the largest exportation since 1897. when an immense amount of whisky was about to be forced out of bond. At that time the distillers rather than pay the tax when prices were depressed. sent ship load after shipload to the warehouses in Hamburg and Bremen. i~sA
 At this time there is no depression in the market and the exportatfon Hs to be made largely on account of the lower storage charges in Europe.
 The whisky to be sent abroad Is in tended largely for the trade in California and other Western States.
 Distillers have found it costs less to send whiskey to Bremen and Hamburg and ship 1t from there 70 San Francisco by way of Cape Horn than 1t costs to ship it from Louisville to San Francisco by rail.
 The annual report of, Chief Deputy Collector Edmiston showed that there are 53,0S3.619 gallons of whiskey in bond fin this district.

mODlLc, Aug. 1G.-
 In the Recorders Court this morning, Judge Tharp presiding. the three cases against Dan Beck, the negro deputy sheriff, for disorderly conduct, resisting an officer and carrying concealed weap- ons, preferred by Policeman Aleck Mo- Carron, were called.
 A large number of witnesses. white and colored, were sworn and placed under the rule.
 Last Saturday Beck was on the wharf. on business, as he claimed, being armed with a warrant for a. negro. wanted else- where. It was claimed by the arresting officer that he, according to regulations, ordered Beck to leave the wharf. The negro refused, claiming to be an officer and used strong language in his refusal to leave. The negro was arrested and resisted and was struck by the officer with his club. The negro had pistol which, 1t was claimed, he had concealed and which he made effort to use. This was the substance of the testimony of the arresting officer. part of this was borne out by testimony introduced.
 The defense entered general denial or this, and attempted to introduce evidence showing that the negro was on the wharf on business and had right to be there; that he told the policeman he was a sworn officer and had right on the wharf and also had right to carry a weapon; that the officer assaulted him with his club and severely injured him, causing the loss of some of his teeth.
 A white man named Sturtevant was in- troduced first by the defense and swore that the negro did not curse the officer and did tell the policeman that he was an officer.
 After the evidence was in and the at torneys were heard, Judge Tharpe or

Insure Against Damage by Bees.

LondOn Daily MAIL
 The pleasures of life in London seem destined to be augmented. judging by the number of inquiries respecting the cost of keeping bees within the metropolitan area. Timid householders, whose only knowledge of apiculture Is that bee stings are unpleasant. will find little comfort in the fact that bees do not come under the category of legal "nuisances," and that their neighbors may keep as many as they please wherever they like.
 Moreover, the cost is encouragingly small. For about 30 shlllings one may start a business-like hive, containing three pounds of bees, there being 450O bees to the pouAd. A trihing sum Invest ed with the British Beekeepers' AbsocfaE tion tnsures the owner against any per- sonal or material damage that the bees may cause. A few days ago the associa- ton paid for a foal which was worried to death by a members bees.
 Edward Young, the Secretary, relates how a swarm of bees, finding @ defective bung in a cask of sugar weighing 200 pounds, ate the whole contents On an- other occasion the light of a railway sig nal attracted a swarm, which invaded the ing express train was pulled up, the drfv- CT being in doubt whether the signal showed red or green.
 In consonance with the prevailing spirit of international amity, queen bees are be- ing imported from Italy, and their ''prin- cesSes" will this month mate with British drones. Nearly all the English queens have been dethroned by alien pretenders. and 1t is estimated that in a short time there will remain few bees in England that have not foreign blood in their veins

THE OPERATORS SIDE
TESTIMONY BEFORE BOARD OF
 PERPETRATORS.
Judge Gray Defines the Scope of the
 Inquiry-Mcoueen and Her bert Give Evidence for Corporations.

Birmingham, Ala. Aug I2.-Today's ses- sion of the Board of Arbitration, which is to adjust the differences between the Ala bama miners and coal operators, opened with a statement by the chairman, Judge George Gray of Delaware, regarding the scope of the arbitration. This statement was the result of an executive session of the board held late last night. Judge Gray said that the following matters would be considered as within the board's 8
 Eight-hour days; cents advance in miners wages on the ton, with correspond ing increase in day wages; semi-Inonthly pay days; prices paid for dead or narrow work; diferential in machine and pick mining; minimum number of days to be worked each month; readjustment of day wage scale: differential between Pratt mines and other mines.
 On the considering an advance on the wages, Judge Gray said that the sliding scale would be taken up, both in mini mum and maximum.
 At the conclusion of this statement, J. w. Mcqueen, Vice-President of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. again took the witness stand for the operators. He said the output of his company was due to the opening of new mines. Re- garding company stores he said that only the best goods were handled at the low
 
 does not traffic in store checks, and that credit is extended to thrifty miners. He declared that last years wage scale was not equitable, especially in the matter of day wages. He did not believe that any furnace could make iron for $75O per ton, and added that there are 5000 tons of iron on the furnace yards in the dis trict. Judge Gray asked the witness many questions regarding iron prices and production, since the selling price of iron governs the wages of coal miners un- der the system practiced in this State.
 Men on entry work make from 90 to 50 per cent more than men in room work. The negroes are thriftless. and if one can make a dollar by mining two tons of coal that is about all he cares to mine. He will mine three tons if necessary to get the dollar. which represents about the daily spending capacity of the aver age Southern negro. We sold iron last year as high as SIS and as low as So. We could not take advantage of higher prices to any extent, because we had sold our product in advance. The Illinois Central has a coal rate of $1.25 from Illinois to New Orleans, the same rate as from the district to New Orleans. This has cut us out of that district.
 William Herbert. Superintendent of the Land Improvement Company's mines in Bibb County, was the next wit ness. He showed by pay roll and other that in June, eleven room men averaged about $130 per month per man, and in ten months up to July 1st, two miners on heading work, working an av- craze of twenty-one days per month drew an average of $l33 each per month. In the month of June, working twenty-fOur days, they each drew $176 for the month.

that the price of the Mexican dollar in Manila Is 4s II cents, in Hongkong. q Ii and in New York 42 3-l It has been sug- gested that the difference between the price in Manila and Hongkong will result in large importation of Mexican dollars and the English bankers have suggested that an import tax be levied upon the Mexicans in order to protect the Philip pine people who hold Mexicans. These Mexicans will not be received for public dues and imposts. after the new currency law goes into effect.
 The position of the War Department Is that there should be no interference with the Mexicans as they are floating for eign coin. It is probable that the Hpan- ish silver coins in circulation will be re- deemed as were the Spanish coins in Porto Rico. as 1t is held that the Spanish coins were part of the government which was acquired by the cession.

dered a fine of s or ten days for disor- derly conduct, and $2k or fifty days for resisting against the defendant, and dismissed the charge of concealed weap- ons.
 The defendant took an appeal and gave bond for his appearance before the City Court.
 Deputy Sheriff Patch this morning on the wharf arrested Zeke Gray, or Greer, on a warrant charging highway robbery. It Is alleged in the warrant that the ne- gro held up a negro preacher at the point of a pistol and robbed him of s. This occurred on August 9th, near Cleveland Station. The negro has a bad reputa- tion and is brother to a man who was hanged in the county jail during Sheriff Dorlan's administration for brutaIly kill ing an old German in his wagon after he had asked permission and was allowed to ride.
 The. Southern Paving and Construction Company has at last gotten down to busi- ness in the matter of paving with asphalt certain streets in District No. ?. The process is quite different to that adopted by the contractors in the first district. as they, after putting down the concrete foundation, are laying and rolling an ad- mixture of tar and gravel as the second layer or binder course. On top of this goes the asphalt and the whole. 1t Is claimed, will be much better than the paving in the first district.
 Adjutant General W. W. Brandon ar- rived at Camp Barry L. Holt this after noon, and was the guest of Major S. T. Westcott. With Him was Colonel R. B. du Mont of the 1st Infantry and mem- bers of his staff. Colonel Brandon was accorded the honors due him and ex- pressed satisfaction at the condition of the camp.

THE ACCIDENT NOT POSSIBLE.
Paris Subway Horror Could Not oc-

 New York, Aug. 12.-Persons connected with the plans, construction and prospec- tive operation of the Rapid Transit sub- way, now nearing completion, declare that such a,catastrophe which has just occur red on the Paris underground railway would be impossible here. The subway here is much nearer the surface, venti- lation is perfect, the tunnel is larger, exits and ventilators more numerous, the cars will be fire-proof and the latest con- trivances for the safe use of electricity will be used.
 Should fire start in any train from a short circuit, the power in that section will be turned off automatically, while standpipes with hose attached are located at short intervals, ready for any emer- gency. The subway officials have been kept busy answering nervous questions since the Paris accident, and they are positive no such thing will be possible in the New York tunnel.
