WORK OF ARMED MOB
BURNED TOBACCO PLANTS AT
PRINCETON, KENTUCKY.
Loss is Estimated at sf7o,ooo--Mob
Numbered About 300 Men-Selzed
and Disarmed Night Waterman,
Then Applied the Torch-Forced
Flremen Away.

Louisville, KY, Dec. IA special
from Princeton, KY, says: The to-
bacco stemmeries of John Steger and
John G. Orr, the latter controlled by
the Imperial ToDacco company of New
York, we're destroyed by a fire, kndled
by a mob of masked men. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.
The mob, which numbered about 300
men, entered Princeton between one
and two O'Clock, seized the night mar
shall and disarmed him. They then
went to the factory and quickly ap-
piled the torch.
The masked men stood on guard,
permitting nobody to come near while
the buildings we're enveloped in flames
and help was useless. A squad of the
mob took charge of the telephone Of
fee and no word Of the affair was per-
mitted to go out
When the mob saw that the fire was
beyond control they left the town, 60
ing in the direction of Hopkinsville,
discharging revolvers and rifles as
they departed. When the fire depart
ment arrived II could do nothing more
than prevent the fire from destroying
buildings in the vicinity. The Steger
stemmery was located on the south
side of town on the Illinois Central
railroad and the Orr building in the
northern part of town.
The Steger factory is controlled by
the American Snuff company and Mr.
Steger is the Princeton agent for that
concern. Mr.. Orr is the agent of the
Imperial company. There were about
10000 pounds of tobacco in each
warehouse and all Of it was burned
The mob. in addition to disarming
the night policeman, took charge OF
the station and the waterworks. Even
had the fire company responded they
could not have obtained water.
The work Of the mob is believed to
be only a furtherance of the agta-
ton by the tobacco raisers against
the tobacco trust. The organization
of farmers is known as the Dark To
bacco Growers Protective Association,
but It is not known that any member
was in last nights mob.
It is not improbable that Governor
Beckham will be asked to call out the
militia to protect property in those dis
tricts in view of past outrages.
c. f. Snyder, secretary of the state
board of fire underwriters, says the
insurance companies will not be
responsible for the loss of the plants
under the clause exempting them in
cases of riot and invasion. The pro-
tective association was formed
throughout the dark tobacco district
and severest measures were taken
against growers who refused to join
II. Marauders visited their farms at
night and cut down their tobacco
plants with hoes. set fire to their
barns and committed other depreda-
lions. The III feeling began about six
years ago when the Italian government
sent agents into the dark tobacco
field. These agents paid such high
prices for the tobacco that other agents
were driven out of the field.

GOLDOUTPUT OF U.S..
GREAT ADVANCEMENT MADE
In WESTERN STATES.
Alaska, Colorado and Nevada Show
Largest Cains-Nearly Four Hun
bred Million in Gold Produced in
the States Of the Union-Statistlc
From other Countries.

The bureau of the mint and the geo
logical survey which are cooperating
in determining the annual production
of gold and silver in the United States,
have agreed upon a tabulated state
ment of the output of states and terri
tories for the calendar year 1905.
The most important changes in gold
production are shown by Alaska,
which advances from s9.160,500 in 1904
20 $14,925, 600 in 1905. Colorado shows
an increase from s24,3S5, 800 in 1904 to
s25,701 100 in 1905. due to freedom
from labor troubles. Nevada shows a
gain from $780,, 800 in 1904 to $3.50
100 in 1905. and a gain in silver from
1886, 100 to 5,S63, 500 ounces.
The director Of the mint says that
Nevada will show for 1906 a much
arger gain in both gold and silver,
md that the state will likely make a
contest for first place as a producer
# the various previous metal. The to-
al output of silver is about 1900, 900
ounces under that of the previous
ear, the three heaviest producers,
Montana, Colorado and Utah, showing
Z decline. Washington produced $780,
100 gold and 119.400 ounces of silver.
Idaho produced s1.075,6 800 gold and s.
l25,60O ounces of silver. Oregon's gold
output was 81 ,244, 900 and Montana pro-
luced s4,SS9,SO0 gold and 5,S6S, 500
ounces silver.
The total number Of ounces of gold
produced was 4,265,742, and the com
mercial value of the silver produced
vas sS4,221, $40.
The director OF the mint has also
completed a compilation of returns
upon the production of gold and silver
in the world for the calendar year
1905.
The totals are s276.2s9 200 gold and
1888, 1862 ounces of silver.
Commenting on these figures, the di-
rector says:
The total figures compare with a
gold output of $S46, 1872, 200 in 1904. and
1 silver output of 6S.S9O,2SS fine
'unces. The important gains in gold
production were s7,716,0OO by the Unit
ID States, s27,415,2OO by Africa and
s2,655,90 by Mexico. Losses in gold
production we're $1.91S.OOO by Canada
81, $40, 500 by Australasia, $2,511 400 by
Russia. All of the principal silver-pro-
lucing countries showed a falling of
in the output of that metal compared
with the previous year. the United
States of 100000 ounces, Mexico OF
i,156,000 ounces. Australasia 100000
ounces, South America of 1,742,00C
ounces and Japan Of nearly 100000
ounces. The average value of silver
n New York, based on London prices
converted at the current rates of ex
'hange, was 81 cents per fine ounce
which may be compared with IS cents
for 1904, 81 cents for 1903 and S.
cents for 1902. the lowest years price
On record.
The United States produced SSS,1S0,
700 gold and 56,101 900 ounces silver.
Mexico produced $15,261 200 gold
md 54,652,S92 ounces silver.
Canada produced $14,4S6.S00 gold
md s5,974.S75 ounces silver.
Africa produced $113,329,100 golt
md 619.620 ounces silver.

china's Trade slackens.

The tea and silk trades of China are

the part OF the government to longer

U. s. Chief of Ordnance Denies Air
ship Interview.

Washington, Dec. 4.--General Gro
zier, chief Of ordnance. is indignant
because he has been quoted as stating
that the government is on the thresh-
old of practical aerial navigation and
that he will be in a position to report
to the next Hague conference such
progress as will make 1t practicable
to drop explosives with such certainty
as to obviate the destruction of hos
pital ships, etc.
He denies the assertion in toto and
declares that words have been put into
his mouth that he never uttered.
General Crozier admits that his bu-
reau has been in communication with
Wright Bros, of Dayton, Ohio, who
have experimental with an aeroDlane
but he says that no offer has been
made for the purchase of such a ma
chine and declared that the govern
ment will not furnish money to any in
ventor for experimental purposes. He
says the government now has burst
ing charge for shells with which 1t is
perfectly satisfied.

CONFIDENCE IN ROOSEVELT.
Japan Is Not Worrying About San
Francisco MIDDLE.


Washington, Dec. 4.-"Japan has
every confidence that President Roose-
welt will adjust the Japanese California
school controversy entirely to the sat
isfaction of both nations. Feeling this
confidence, Japanese ceased to be agi-
tated over the situation. The Japanese
newspapers are emphatically moderate
in all their notices of the affair and
so far as the Japanese nation is con-
cerned there is absolutely no reason
for the revival of the newspaper no
toriety in this country"
The Associated Press was today au-
thorized to quote the Japanese embas-
sy as above. It was further said that
there were no new developments in
the situation of any kind; that the mat
ter was in the hands of the president
and his willingness and ability to act
was entirely relied upon.
