Americas Nine National Ca = itaIs

How many readers could tell off
hand the number Of national capitals
this country's congress has sat in,
and give the names? Not MANY,
probably. Well, there have b en-
nine Of them Washington, D. c.,
Baltimore and Annapolis in Mary
lard, Trenton and Princeton in New
Jersey, Philadelphia, Lancaster and
York in Pennsylvania and New York
City. The first session Of the Con-
tinental congress was held in Car
pcnter's Hall, Philadelphia, Scptem-
ber, 1774. Thereafter the Ameri-
can congress was for a long time
something like the Philippine con-
gress while the latter was dodgiDg
American troops-and for much the
same reason. Fearing to renain in
Philadelphia after the defeat on Long
Island, congress went to Baltimore,
and voted George Washington dicta-
torial power for six months. Con.
gress returned TO Philadelphia two
months later, February 27, 1777.
Lancaster and Yo:k got their ses-
sions after the defeat at Brandywine,
congress retreating. Nine months
the law makers remained in York;
news of Burgoyne's surrender was
received there. Then six months
in New York and another term in
Philadelphia. Menaccd by unpaid
troops, congress went over to New
Jersey. Sessions were held in
Princeton college library. AnDapo-
lis next, where General Washingto
resigned his commission. Trenton
had trial then, with Henry Lee as
President. Here Lafayette took

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent)

Washington, D. c., March %
The Anthracite Coal Strike Com
mission has made its award ard the
President has caused them to be
made public. BY the terms of the
agreement entered into between the
operators and the miners these
awards stand until the 31st of March,
1906, and therefore, danger of an
other coal famine is aver:ed for that
period. BY the. decision of the com
mission the miners will receive a
general 10 per cent. increase in
wages beginning with April of last
year and continuing tbroughous the
period. Moreover, if the average
Wholesale price Of coal, pea
size, goes above 81 so per ton,
the miners are to receive an increase
of wages amounting to l per cent.
for each 5 cents increase. Men
working 8 hours are, also, to be paid
on 10 hour basis. A "ccaciliatory
joint Committee is pro:.ded for in
zach. mining .dis:rios, 1t will be
composed of three members appointed
by the operators and three appointed
by the miners and to it shall be re.
ferred all differences, while in. the.
event that an egpeement cannot be
reached, a seventh, who shall cast
the deciding vote, shall be called in.
The miners are allowed all the check
weishers they may demand but they
are to pay them themselves. The
operators are required to pay a com
missioner who shall be appointed by
Circuit Judge and whose duty it
shall be to determine the average
wholcsals price of coal. Among the
general recommendations of the Com
missioners are, one recommending
that the custom of employing special
police shall be abolished and one
urging that the existing child labor
laws be enforced.
10 view Of the ratification Of the
Panama canal treaty the engineers
are already figuring on the force that
will be required to construct the
canal. 1t is said that not less than
10000 will be employed and at times
this force will be doubled. There
are now 1000 men at work under
the French company and every foot
of the canal has been surveyed and
: : ground broken. Two hospitals, fully
equipped, arc now maintained and
, doubtless will be during the entire
construction oftho canal. Assuming
I that no legal obstacles present them
selves It is not believed that the &C
,tual work Of construction will begin

CCNARD LINE rs OUT
Or Passenger Combination on The Atlantic
Expected TO Cut Rates.

The Cunard Line has withdrawn from the
Passenger agreement of the steamship COM
bination known as the North Atlantic Con-
ference. which is made up Of lines running
ships between this port and ports Of Great
Britain and Ireland. Some Of the lines
In the conference, including the Cunard,
Anchor and Allan-State, are not in the feet
Of the International Marine Company,
which is represented in the conference by
the White Star the Atlantic Transport,
the Leyland and the International Naviga-
ton Company american and Red Star
lines)
The Cunard line notified the conference
three months ago Of its intention to with
draw in the matter Of cabinrates and freights
and recently 1t gave fourteen days notice
that it would consider annulled also the
agreement in regard to Storage rates. The
latter notice becomes effective on July l.
The object of the Cunard line Is to -be
free to do az 1t pleases." This IL interpreted
to mean that it will try to get a larger share
of the big passenger and freight business
done by the International Mercantile
Marine Company.
The cause of the Cunards withdrawal
was the putting on by the combination OF
regular Friday ships Of the White Star,
and extra Tuesday ships Of the Leyland
Line. running as White Star liners.
