RAILWAY CLERKS STRIKE.
Eight Hundred Said to Be Involved In
 the Southern Pacific Strike.

Houston, Tex, October 13.--The clerks in the employ of the Southern Pacific railway belonging to the Brotherhood of Railway clerks, today went on strike without warning. Just how many are out along the entire system has not been ascertained. but claims are made of more than 800. In this city about fifty are af- fected. Tornwell Fay, general manager of the Southern Pacific railway, today stated that the vacancies were already being filed Mr. Fay's information was that the strike was precipitated by his declination to take up the grievances of the clerks without the interposition of the proper head of departments.
 The principal grievances appear to be a demand for recognition of the union as well as an increase in wages.

ALABAMA IS BACK
 TO SECOND PLACE
HAS HAD NIP AND TUCK CONTEST WITH WEST VIRGINIA AS PRO- DUcER OF cokE-oUTPuT WAS 2,57e,sse TONS IN 1905.

Washington. October 1s--(Special)-For tho last twenty-five years, or since the statistics of the production of coke have been compiled by the geological survey, Alabama has contested with West Vir- ginia for second place in the rank of coke-producing states During the last five years each state has held 1t alternately, the honor falling to West Virginia in 1905.
 The production of coke in Alabama in 1905 amounted to 2,5769S6 short tons, valued at $76469S7, against 2,340,219 tons, worth 30, 716,413 in 1904, indicating an increase of 2s8, 767 short tons, or 1912 per cent In quantity and of s1,S9O,544, or 33.S per cent In value. The percentage of increase in production in Alabama in 1905 over 1904 was less than that made in any of the other important colSe-producing states but this was compensated for in the much larger increase in value. The quantity of coke made In 1905 was less by 116.511 tons than the output in 1908, when the pro- duction amounted to 2,693,4 tons, but the value of the product in 1905 exceeded that of 1903 by SPA, 429 The average price in 1905 was $2.3 per ton, the highest point reached in twenty years, with the ex- ception of 1902, when the high point of 8 zj was reached.
 There were 42 oke-making establish nients in Alabama in 1905, the same num- her as in 1904, having total of 95S6 ovens, against 9059 the preceding year. The num- Der of ovens building at the close Of 1905 was 150. as compared with 40 in 1904. The 42 establishments In 1905 included eight having a total of 1450 ovens that were idle during the year. Two of these idle plants were new, the ovens being completed, but not put in blast. One of tde new plants was the bank of Scmet- Sovay retort ovens at Tuscaloosa. re- lorled in 1904 being under construc- ton

SIL VERA FIRM
 PAYS ALL DEBTS
Bankers Insist That the Bankrupt Firms Indebtedness to Cuba
 Is Unimportant.

Havana, October 13.-Sllveira and com pany continue to pay all claims. While it Is said Silveira converted the joint as- sets of himself and others into cash to the extent of possibly a million dollars, bankers insist tn tathe firms indebted ness in Cuba is comparatively unimpor- tant
 Stories that Silveira forced the reyolu- tion are believed to have arisen of his close friendship to Jose Miguel Gomez, whom he is said to have assisted and en- ployed as manager of the Silveira Sugar company. Formerly Slveira and ex- President Palma were intimate friends. but Silveira's friendship for Gomez, 1t is said, tended to lessen the regard of the President, who was watchful and jealous of an intimacy with the liberals.

Her chief officer reported to Captain Branch that the ship was afire. The captain directed the chief engineer to turn on the water through the fire hose. This was impossible for the req son shat five minutes after the alarm was given the Hankow was ablaze fore and aft.
 Chinese Thrown Into Panic.
 Captain Branch awakened the European passengers who rushed down the gang way, the ladies in thelr night clothes. The crew was compelled to leave the ship which by this time was a yeritable fur mace. The Chinese steerage passengers were thrown into a frightful panic. Hor- I.fying shreks and cries to save their lives were heard, but escape was impos- sibe owing to the infianmable nature of the cargo.

 Much Speculation as to Cause.
 There are many theories as to the cause of the fire The first is that the fire was caused by the overturning of the lantern uf Chinese boarding house keeper, who came aboard seeking customers. The sec ond was that an opium smoker accidental lv set fire to the mating, and the third ss that 1t was caused by the crossing of electric wires.
