FAIRBANKS TALKS TO MINERS.
Visits Coal Mining Regions OF In
diana-Speech at Sullivan.

CLINTON Ind. November 4.-Senator
Charles W. Fairbanks special train today
Travelled through the coal mining region OF
southern Indiana from Terre Haute to
Evansville. He was everywhere greeted by
large crowds, and the applause was liberal,
although this portion of Indiana Is regarded
as the democratic stronghold of the state.
During the morning the senator made ad-
dresses at johannesburg, Shelburn, Sullivan
Clinton, Elnora and Washington. The re-
naming stops on today's schedule were
vincennes. Princeton. Puseyville, Mount
Vernon and Evansville.
At Sullivan. Senator Fairbanks said IN
part:
Is have Witnessed as l have come here
this morning many new towns which nave
sprung up almost as by magic. They have
not Just happened. They have not sprung
up as the result of mere chance. They have
come into being in response to some need;
they have been erected responsive TO some
law They were not built under democratic
policies or administrations. 1t remained
for republican policies to give the vitilizing
touch which brought them into being al
most as by magic.
THAT is the secret of the operation of
these mines in Sullivan county giving en-
ployment TO hundreds and thousands of
workingmen, and they, in turn, making
more prosperous the villages throughout
the county and they in turn make greater
prosperity for the farms. What has caused
IL all will tell you Republican policies
create prosperity in the great industrial
centers, open great factories and Industrial
establishments, and they, in turn, require
the coal which nature laid away here count
less centuries ago.
You VIII have prosperity here when there
Is prosperity in the great industrial centers.
When the great factories are open and run
ming through the, most, there is demand for
homes and villages and cities. There are
more men, employed under the present re-
Dublican administration than under any
democratic administration in all the history

A telegram has been received by Mr..

REACH AN AGREEMENT.
War and Navy Departments Adjust
Harbor Lines in Anacostia River.

The War and Navy Departments have
reached an agreement regarding the quay
wall at the Washington navy yard and the
adjacent harbor lines in Anacostia river. In
July, 1903. the Secretary of War informed
the Secretary of the Navy that there was
no objection on the part of the War De-
partment to the construction of proposed
wall in front of a portion of the navy yard
along the Anacostia river. In July. 1904,
the Secretary of War approved harbor
lines for that locality, and it appears that
the projected quay wall will be some dis
lance in advance of the bulkhead line estab-
lished by the War Department The ques-
ton thereupon arose as to whether the es-
tablishment of the harbor lines operated to
nullify the action of the Secretary of War
previously taken in regard to the quay WALL
and the commandant of the navy yard re-
quested decision in the matter in order
that the work of constructing the wall
might proceed. i.
Gen. Mackenzie, chief of engineers, to
whom the subject was referred. made a re-
port to the Secretary of War. 1T appears"
said he, that. relying upon the action OF
the War Department. the naval authorities
have made preparations for the cOnstruc-
ton of the quay wall as originally designed
and the location thereon of structures OF
specified dimensions. which would be ma
position of the wall The bulkhead line as
established was duly passed upon and as
sented to by the commandment of the navy
yard. but his assent was gwen, douotiess,
on the assumption that the location OF the
proposed wall would not be affected by the
establishment of that line. In my opinion.
the consent of the Secretary of War TO the
building of the wall. as given IN MS letter
IF JulY 8. 1903, has not been affected by
the subsequent establishment of haEbor
lines. AS it is not believed that the wall
will be detrimental to navigation interests
IN the locality 1 recommend that the Secre-
tary of the Navy be informed accordingly.
The question of altering the harbor lines to
correspond with the new structures as rec
commended by the district engineer can De
taken up later"
The acting secretary of war has approved
the recommendation of the chief of engi-
neers, and the Secretary of the Navy has
heen notified that the wall may be con-
structed in accordance with the permission
originally given.

LACK 0F MATERIAL
ONE HUNDRED woRKMEN OUT OF
i. EMPLOYMENT.
Construction Work at Navy Yard Can
not Proceed for Want of Arti-
fetal Stone.

The failure of certain contractors to fur-
nish imitation stone for the construction
work on the electric power house at the
Washington navy yard will result in the
shutting down of the work in question, ana
it is estimated that fully one hundred me-
.chanics and laborers will, in consequence,
be thrown out of employment at the very
threshold of winter. 1t is believed the shut
down will occur tomorrow. -,
The walls of the electric power build
ing. on which large force OF workmen IS
engaged, have reached a point more than
half way up to their proposed height. AT
the point reached today the plans call for
the laying of a course of artificial stone.
Capt. E. c. Pendleton, in charge OF the
naval gun factory, and who is also taxing
personal supervision of the work of con-
structing the new buildings and Quitting
them. stated today that the contractors for
furnishing the imitation stone had informed
him that they could not ship the material
for at least five weeks.
THAT state of affairs said Capt PEN
dleton. will take the matter up into the
rough winter weather, and am AFRAID
will cause the suspension OF building OPP
lions on the power-house Until next
spring.
The workmen who will thus be thrown
out of employment for the winter are TAX
ing gloomy view of the situation. 1t was
capt. fenQleUOn purpose II Is Sdiu, -idu
the material been received. to continue the
work until the building was completed.
Similar Difficulty at War College.
1t is pointed out that the constructors OF
the War College building in the arsenal res
ervation experienced similar difficulty sew
eral months ago in getting material and,
as has been published in The Star, the
bricklayers and other workmen were laid
off indefinitely as a consequence. - =
= 1t was stated today that Capt. Pendle-
ton has reported the state of affairs existing
at the navy yard to the Navy Department
authorities, but 1t Is not believed any re-
lief will result, as the contractors for fur.
nfshing the imitation stone declare II Will
be impossible to ship the material to WASH:
ington in less than the time named, about
December 10.
Five new boilers are being installed in the
recently erected boiler house, which, with
the five already installed. will exhaust the
appropriation, 1t is said The capacity OF
the building is stated as 20 boilers. with a
total of 60, 600 horsepower. Capt. Pendle-
ton has requested an appropriation to cover
the installation Of the ten additional boil
ers required to completely outfit the struc-
ture.
All the shops at the navy yard are said
to be running at their fullest capacity the
machinery and three eight-hour shifts of
workmen being engaged constantly every
hour In the twenty-four hours constituting
the day. Big guns are now being finished
for the new war vessels, the Pennsylvania,
Virginia, West Virginia and Colorado.

FISH HATcHERIEs FALL OFF.
Marked Decrease in Output in Two
Pacific States.

PORTLAND. Greg, November 4.-Fish-
ing interests in Washington and Oregon
are alarmed over the fact that the hatch
cries OF the two states will yield but 49,
100000 eggs this year. in the face of an
expected output of nearly 100000, 900
eggs. Last year the output was 10000,
600
The unprecedented falling off in the
egg production for this year. experts be-
lieve. is due to the fact that the states of
Oregon and Washington cannot agree
upon the length of the fishing season, and
its long duration and consequent over
fishing has so curtailed the supply of
hatchery fish that unless immediate ac-
tion is taken by the two states in the
matter the future of the fsh-canning in
dustry will be problematical.
