DRUGGISTS MEET
 IN CLASSIC BOSTON
QUESTION OF CUTTING THE LIST PRICE OF PROPRIETARY ARTI- GILES WILL BE THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED.

Boston, September s.-The twenty-ninth annual convention of the Wholesale Drug gists' association was opened in the city today, and for the first time in almost d decade the annual meeting of the proprie- tary association was opened simultane- ously. Both meetings were held at the Ho- tel Somerset with delegates from all parts of the country in attendance. The cut ting of list prices on proprietary articles will be thoroughly discussed by both asso- citations during the week, and was briefly referred to in several of the reports sub mitted today as a trade which much be checked.
 The national wholesale druggists were called to order by President w. A. Hover of Denver, who delivered his annual ad- dress, which was followed by the reports of the secretary and treasurer
 Chairman Klein of Philadelphia for the committee on Legislation, urged measures for securing legislation that will provide for reduction of tax on alcohol from $1 10 to 70 cents, and the enactment of section of the Lowering bil which provides for a drawback of alcohol used in the manu- facture of articles for exportation. and which is intended to enable American druggists to compete with foreign manu- lecturers.

CARROLL D. WRIGHT
 MAKES HIS REPORT
AGREES WITH OPERATORS CON- TENTION THAT EMPLOYER HAS RIGHT TO DIcHAReE MEN WITH OUT GIVING CAUSE.

Scranton, Pa, September S.-IIon. Car roll D. Wright the umpire to whom was referred the five disputes between the operators and miners representatives on the board of conciliation appointed under the provisions of the anthracite mine strike commission, filed his findings today with T. N. Nichols, secretary of the board.
 Dealing with the question of the em- ployer's right to discharge men from any cause other than that of connection with a labor union, Umpire Wright agrees wholly with the contention of the opera tors representatives and declares that the right of an employer to discharge with out giving the cause of discharge Is sus- tained by the award of the commission. As to the rockmen's dispute the umpire soys they do not come under the award. The complaint of Thomas Tanner is not sustained in regard to the allegations of discrimination on the part of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company and Coxe Brothers &z Co. He says that these com panies should take back old men instead of putting on new men in all cases where the old men are competent and have not been convicted and are not awaiting trial for crime during the strike.
 The umpire's finding covers twenty-five pages of typewriter copy.

Bryan subsequently, left for Toledo after taking lunch with Charles B. Salen. chairman of the democratic executive committed MT. Bryan declined to discuss politics. but pre- dicted that Mr. Johnson would be elect ed governor at the coming state election.
 While here today MT. Bryan gave out the following written statement relative to printed report that his daughter Ruth was engaged to marry Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson:
 There is no truth whatever in the re- ported engagement. and the newspaper man who sent out the report might have learned the truth by inquiring either of Captain Hobson or of our family. MT. Hobson called on Mrs. Bryan when he lectured in Lincoln recently and there met my daughter. The fact that such a cir cumstances is made the basis for the story printed shows how unreliable some of the so-called news is w. J. BRYAN"

EGYPTIAN PAPER TELLS
 HOW ATTACK WAS MADE
VceConsu Magessen Was Fired at from the Rea and Had Been Once Before AssauIted-Young Christian With
 Toy Pistol Arrested as the Guilty Man.

The government ordered an investiga- ton of the attack on MT. Magelssen, but the only result was the arrest or young Christian who had attended marriage on the previous night and in whose possession was found toy pis- ton. The American vice consul indig- nantly refused to accept the arrest or this man and decided to visit his broth in-law, the American consul general, who was staying in the mountains to the north of Beirut.
 The Egyptian, Gazette mentions that three months before, MT. Megelssen was attacked by men in Turkish uniforms. but whom, by his strength, he put to flight. It adds that there Is little safe- ty in Beirut and 1t is very dangerous for Europeans to appear on the streets at night Murder and pillage are daily occurring and many families have there fore moved to Egypt.

 Other Burdens.
 But there are other burdens for the treasury. You added. during the first part of your present session, S306, ,352.22 to the states obligation for four years Includ- ed in this large amount was $425O year representing the increases in salaries of some officers and clerks at the capitol. You had other bills on your respective calendars when you returned from your recess, calling for over s6OO,OOo in the four years, and since your return there have been possibly added to these sums quite a number of small or large items.
 In the two years from November 1901. to that month in this year, the state will have gathered together $200,000 each year more than 1t has disbursed. This accumu- lation was made possible by the uncom- mon prosperity of the state, which during this time has been unequaled in it's hs- tory We may not hope for four years more of such an era.

A proper time to sell them and proper price for them may not come in two years, and any saving from such sale may be ineffective for much of the time which shall elapse before you shall convene again. When issued, they will bear interest for many years, and the difference of so much as half cent In interest would result in saving of an expense to the state of over S3.00O,00O in fifty years.
