TROUBLE BREWING IN
PENNSYLVANIA COAL
REGIONS
COMPANY WILL HAVE NO MORE
DEALINGS WITH UNION.
Reduction of ID Per Cent in Wages
and Wholesale Evictions
Are Being Mace.

Altoona, Pa, Nov. 2O.-There Is Sc
rious trouble brewing in the Central
Pennsylvania bituminous coal field
through the Morris Run CCal Mining
company of Morris Run, Pa, bolting
the payment of the Altoona scale of
wages and through its determination
to ignore the U. NJ. w. of America.
The company has issued notices to all
its employees In which it calls upon
them to choose between it and the
Miners union, stating that the COM
pany will have no further dealings
with the union. The notices were
issued by President John Magee, and
says further:
at is possible that work might be
resumed on or about the first of De-
cember at the rate of wages suggested
on the first of April last, resulting In
a reduction of about IA per cent from
the rates paid prior to that date. Ten
ants of our houses who do not desire
to work at such rates and under the
rules established by this company from
time to time, will be notified to va
cate the houses according to the leases
under which they are now occupied"
The miners are much incensed over
the notice of a reduction, of fourteen
per cent instead of the sc per cent re-
duction as per the Altoona scale adopt
ed April 1st 1904. District President
Gilday of the Miners union says evic-
ton notices have been served on lat
families to leave their houses within
ten days and that landlords warrants
have been issued to sell their furniture
for back rent. -.. .''.

RECORD
OF TWELVE MONTHS
UNUSUALLY SMALL EXPORTS OF
BREADsTUFFs.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 20.--The ex-
port record of the United States in the
twelve months ending with October
1904, just presented by the department
of commerce and labor through It's
bureau of statistics shows that de-
spite the unusually small exports Of
breadstuffs, the total value Of exports
Of all kinds is larger than In any pre-
ceding year ending with the date above
named. The exports Of breadstuffs In
the ten months ending with October
are less than half in value those of the
corresponding period Of 1903 or 1902
or SS6,000,000 below the record for
the corresponding period of last year.
ported in the twelve months ending
with October, 1904 is s6O,OO0,OOO great
er than in the corresponding period of
last year. and exceeds by nearly S10,-
100000 the largest total ever known in
twelve months period ending with
October
Exports of manufactures in the nine
months ending with Geptembere 1904,
exceed by s45,00O,0O0 those for the cor
responding period of the preceding
year, and the figures of October when
completed will probably show that the
exports of manufactures In the ten
months period are more than $4,000, 900
in excess OF those for the correspond
ing period Of the preceding year. The
other factor in producing this IRE
markable growth, which has offset etiis
reduction In exports of breadstufrsI Is
raw cotton, of which the exports in the
ten months ending with October ex-
coed by $22.000,0OO those of the cor
responding period of last year. Iron
and steel manufactures show for nine
months $20.000,O0O Increase. conner
$23, 100000 and mineral oil about
$4,000, 900 while in most other manu-
factured articles, the figures for 1904
show little change as compared with
those of the immediate preceding year.
Exports of provisions the figures for
the ten months ending with October.
1904 show fall of about $l1, 900, 900
as compared with the corresponding
period OF 1903. while exports of live
cattle show an, increase of $4,000. 900
In the ten months period Of 1904 as
compared with the corresponding per-
Tod of the preceding year.
In breadstuffy the reduction occurs
in practically all of the important
classes. Corn exports during the ten
months ending with October 1904. fall
$2S,O0O,OOO below the figures for the
corresponding period of 1903; wheat
expectations, oyer s41.0OO,00O below
those Of the corresponding period of
last year; and flour exports, s16 6,OOO,-
600 below the same month of 1903.

TRYING To KILL EXTRA SESSION.

Washington. Nov. 20.-Senators and
members Of congress who have discus
sed tariff revision with President
Roosevelt have brought to bear upon
him in their arguments against an ex-
ira session all the official subterfuges
that can be imagined. "An unwieldy
and dangerous majority of the house
Of representatives said one. The pres
ident met 1t with the declaration that
Uncle Joe Cannon would prove equal
to every emergency. "The heat Of
summer" and "outing plans that would
be interfered WITH" mildly demurred
others. "But what is personal comfort
and convenience to public welfare?"
smilingly rejoined the president and
thus 1t goes, although in many cases
the objections have been stronger and

directly against any revision Of tariff
schedules.
There is one matter that is going to
weigh largely as to the time for which
special session will be called. The
president. with his annual message
practically completed, is giving some
consideration to the tour through the
south and southwest which he Is anx-
ious to take next year. He thinks the
south has misunderstood him and he
feels that better understanding could
be reached by trip through that part
of the country. He would prefer to
take 1t next fall, but If he should con-
clude to have an extra session of con-
gress in September, as some suggested
he may arrange his southern trip for
April Of May.

ON
APPOINTMENTS
A LETTER OF MORE THAN USUAL
INTEREST.
Also Of Local Appllcation-Senators
Won't "Seiect" Postnasters
While He is President.

In view of the contest coming on be-
tween Deputy Postmaster Cool and
County Republican Chairman Clark
concerning the appointment as post
master to succeed George b. Frease
the following letter from President
Roosevelt defining his position regard
ing the influence of senators and con-
gressmen upon appointments has more
than usual interest.
Congressman Gardner. Senator
Lodse's son-in-law, tried to prevent
the appointment of Postmaster Pink
ham, of Haverhill and name a man OF
Gardner's choosing. President Roose-
velt sent him letter. In which he
states his position in regard to maxi
ing appointments.
You speak Of your privilege Of
naming the Haverhill postmaster, !"
says the president. 'In your letter to
Mr.. Moody you say, It's not a parallel
case in Massachusetts to those other
states where Senators select the post
masters. In Massachusetts, 1t has been
understood that a congressman shall
select the postmasters in the cities and
towns In hds own district
ITO clear up any possible misappre-
hension. would like at the outset to
say that the senators do not select
postmasters in any state while am
president.
81 consult them always, and in the
vast majority of cases act on the rec
commentators they make, but the
selection is mine and not theirs, and
time and again during the three years
| have been president have positive
ly refused to select individuals sug-
gested to me for nomination as post
masters by various senators. II / am
not satisfied with the character and
standing of the man whose name is
suggested to me. l never nominate
him.
II understand perfectly that, under
the first article of the constitution
the senators are part of the appointing
power, and that therefore the appoint
ment must represent an agreement be-
tween them and me, and, as the ac-
quaintance of the senator with his
state is always much greater than the
knowledge Of the president can pos
sibiy be. it Is the normal and natural
thing that l should listen to his ad-
vice as to these appointments, and I
generally do s6."is ..''s' 2 ~ IS. .,-.,. %.
r. But stop listening to it as soon
as l realize. that he is advising me
wrongly.
"The relation Of congressman to
the appointments rests not upon law
but purely upon custom.
II wish to point out to you that II
is also the custom, to pay heed to the
wishes not only Of cabinet officers, but
even senators On the opposite party
and occasionally. to the wishes of con-
gressmen of the opposite party In the
case Of nominations to office in their
own towns.
II regret to have to take action
which will be displeasing to you. bu,
do not see how can avoid doing
so in this case"

Losing his balance he tumbled into

shouted for help. \ friend jumped in
after him. but the latter found ON

could do was to hold his own head
above the surface. and he made for

Servis tioatcd down stream about
forty feet When he went down the
third time he struck the fish line with
his hand. He took death hold. The
