NEW ENGLAND SHY ON TOBACCO
Reports From the Growing Districts

Hartford. Conn. July 29.-From re-
ports received here the outlook for the
Connecticut tobacco crop this year Is
discouraging. the weather has made
the crop backward and in some sec
tions of the state the yield will not
exceed so per cent o fthe normal far-
.yest.
The prevailing opinion among the to-
bacco growers is that the success OF
the shade grown leaf is far from hav-
ing been demonstrated. Many small
growers who had a part or the whole
of their tobacco under cover last year
devoted their attention this year to
open field tobacco. Some of the big
growers. however. have increased their
shade grown acreage.

One of the best informed senators says in regard to action on the anti trust bill that the republican program would probably be as follows: The house would, after much effort, enact trust bill in some form, but it's en- actment would come late in the ses- sion. When it came to the senate. however, that body, following the tao tics used in regard to the Cuban reel. procity bill of last session, would say that it was ridiculous to expect the sen ate of the United States to act with precipitation in so important matter. It would take time for consideration and debate and nottime was left. The house had consumed all the time and now expected the senate to act pre- cipitately Such a proposition was too preposterous, for consideration. The matter would have to go over until the long session. But the question remains, if the senate adopts this course will the president call an extra session?

Speaking of the effort to take dut,

Speaking of the effort to take duty off coal and also of the exorbitant prices now charged for it, the editor of the Outlook asks sIs there no rem edy for this? Have the operators no public duty in the matter? It may be said that the retail dealers have right to larger profit than usual on ae- count of their losses during the sum- mer, and the cost and trouble of selling coal one ton at a time instead of the larger usual quantities; but, allowing for this, the margin of profit still re- mains not only large, but, in the opin- ion of many, extortionate. It is be lieyed by those who understand the trade that the retail dealers depend
 upon the operators. and that in ordi- nary times the retail prices are largely governed by the operators wishes. Now, 1t will be remembered that the operators have made certain public promises. In one interview Mir Baer is reported to have said: There will be plenty of winter coal here at fair price On October B last MT Baer, in a letter to the general manager of his company, said: ''Where dealers seek to obtain an unfair profit from the public, you will promptly take steps to supply the reasonable demands of the public directly; and still later it was generally announced by the press that the coal operators would open agencies in New York, if it were neces- sary, to bring the price of coal down to $6.5O per ton.

 maintain4that government hasa right

COAL STRIKE HEARING.

Ihe Delaware and Hudson Company
 Concludes Testimony.
 PHILADEI4PHIA, Jan. 14.--Having occupied nearly three days in calling witnesses to testify in opposition to the demands made by the anthracite min CTS, the Delaware and Hudson com pany closed it's case before the coal strike commission yesterday afternoon, and the commissions attention was then called to the conditions existing in and about the collieries operated by the Erie company This corporation man. ages the Hillside Coal and Iron com pany and the Pennsylvania Coal com pany, and it's counsel before the com mission is Wayne MacVeagh of Phila- delphia and Major Everett Warren of Scranton
 One of the principal witnesses called Torrey, general coal sales agent of the Delaware and Hudson company at New York, who testified that the com pany he represents is deriving no bene- fit from the present abnormal price which the public is paying for it's fuel. Among other witnesses called by the Delaware and Hudson were two physi- clans, who gave testimony tending to show that the occupation of mine worker is not so unhealthful as physi- clans for the miners have stated; real estate agent, who testified to the amount of property owned by miners of the company, and an employee of the Delaware and Hudson, who made an investigation of wages paid to bi- luminous miners, which showed their pay was under that received by the an thracite miners.
 General Wilson, owing to the illness of Judge Gray, again acted as chair man of the commission, and was sew eral times called upon to intervene in the personal tits between opposing counsel over the admission of certain evidence.

@Laboring men can only have mol

"Laboring men can only have more wages by increasing the national pro- duct,' is a statement of capitalist writer That would be true If labor got all it produced, for more than the production cannot be given labor, says the editor of Appeal to Reason in reply. But labor has produced too much al ready for what it gets. If the 1aboring classes were to produce twice as much they would get no more wages. In fact if they produced twice as much about half of them would be dis charged, as the half at work would produce all the capitalists could dis pose of. The laboring classes can and must get more wages for what they now produce, by refusing to permit the capitalists to take the amount of profits that they now take. Tn fact they can have their wages increased ten times if they will do away with the capitalists entirely. They no more need capitalists than they need smallpox.

 CARACAS, Jan. 14. - About LIDO revolutionists under General Manuel Morales attacked Cumana, in the state of Bermudez, on the 4th, 9th and 9th of this month. Cumana was defended by 500 government troops. On Jan.

 The statement has been obtained from the rebel prisoners that if Cumana had been taken the revolutionary leader would have allowed his soldiers to sack the town for eight hours.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-As result of the conference between Mayor Low and the heads of coal carrying; --oads an agreement was reached which will do away with the charging of extortionate prices for coal in small quantities to the poor. At the mayors suggestion the operators agreed to supply coal at $5 ton at tidewater to all retailers who would guarantee to sell to the poor at the rate of 10 cents a pail.
