LETTER.
From our irgui.r Correspondent.

From our icguisr Correspondent.
The friends of The President
are waiting with anxiety for the
announcement as to whether he
will or will not speak ON the rail
road question at Springfield,
Ohio. His advisers are divided
in their conviction rs to the policy
of such an address but they agree
that il he is going to give his
views to the public the sooner h..
does it the better. He is being
implored by hundreds of people
who have pecaniary interests ut
stake 70 say reasuring word
and il is known that Secretary
Cmielyou who ut first urgently
advised him not To speak on the
subject has changed his views
and is now coming around to the
opinion that such an address
might be useful in allaying the
unraSineSs which is felt in in
dnstria! circles. j is said to.
have been the impression Of the
delegation "f H." Industrial
Peace Commission which he On.
tertaincd that Il public utteranr~
from him now might ha effective
in preventing the threatened
iaillogd strikes on The Western
roads and that lcasguring word
from him a. To his polirieS with
refcrcnc" to the roads and cor
pora'ions generally would do
much to ullay the fears ni the
timid ones who huvr money t.
lend but who are afraid to lend it
while the conditions are so un.
settled. 1t is Though, that il
would restore confidence and
md to prevent the financial and
industrial peril which now ma.
naces the country.
It is probable tina, the Presi.
den, will cease his campaign to
ascertain the actual valuation of
railroad property. On every
hand hr has heard protests H..
gainst his plan for an appraise,-
mcnt of the value Of the reads.
He is assured that such n move
would cut the price Of securities
in two and that millions and mil
lions of Investments would be
deprecated. In investigating
the subject Of railroads the Pre-
sident has been in close touch
with the Interstate Commerce
commission and il iS believed
now that he will turn over to that
body III" physical aid" Of the
railroad proposition. The Com.
mission has nearly sufficient
authority to ascertain the valua-
tion of railroad property and in
DETERMINING what is just and rea-
sOnable rate the commission may
inquire in to the value of the
property of the reads. Ii he
does leave this troublcsomeques-
riGn to the Commission Congress '
would probably be called npon
next winter to enact amendments
to the rate law Which would |
facilitate such work, and the
Commission which llas concern
ed itself with a vast variety Ml
less important matters would
have TO bend all of its energy and
talent to keeping in touch with
the railroad world.
There are eighty witnesses on

Sweeping everything in its path
and entailing loss of close to *20O,
600, fire which broke out in Coal
Creek shortly after 8 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon, resulted to be one OF the
worst fires in the history of the coun-
ty and rendered hundreds Of people
homeless and bankrupted many OF the
business men and householders.
The fire had its origin in the Robt.

manner in the roof of the building
and since there was fire in the boiler
1t is presumed that spark from the
smokestack dropped onto the shingle

the building, the second story wal

was being fought by the fire fighters,
there was not enough pressure on the
water to force it ten feet out Of the
nozzle. This made the work Of fight
ing the fire doubly hard, but the fire.
men stayed with their work until
many Of them fell by the road side
with exhaustion.
The flames which had by this time
gained considerable headway, jump
ed across the street and communicated
with the building owned by Ben Lip
pis and it was only the matter Of
few minutes until that entire part of
the business section was in flames
and not more than half All hour until
it was waste. everything having
been consumed by the fire. The loss
in the business section alone Is es-
timnted at close to 475. 900.
Then the fire commenced eating mp
the residential section adjoining the
burned business district and the
flames leaped from one house over
several others and caught Are to
another that WAS some distance away
When it WAS seen that the whole
town was doomed to destruction II
some other method Of fighting the
fire was not adopted, the iremen went
up to the coal mine and got several
hundred pounds Of dynamite and
began blowing the houses into kindl
gin wood, but this work was started
too late, because II 1t had been com

Of the burned residence houses coult

BASEBALL And

National Game the Sporting
Savior Of the Year
1906

Baseball and the olympic games saved
1906 from being a mediocre page in the
annals Of sport
OF course there was a general growth in
interests in nearly all branches Of sport,
along with the expansion OF the country
perhaps a little faster than the general
growth OF the country, for Americans
seem to take more and more 10 sporting
recreatlons every year-but except in the
two features mentioned the year did not
stand out prominently.
Baseball reached the highest degree Of
success from every point Of view the game
has attained and as the leading sport Il
naturally made the year q lively one foi

PLAYERS TO BUY

This summer President Dreyfuss is go
ing to try the experiment OF having the
Pirates stop at European plan hotels VIII le
on the road, allowing each player 50 per
day for fodder Doubtless at least four
men on tho Pittsburg team viii be able to
save about $3.50 out OF the daily allowance.
As tho other major league teams have
moro savers than spenders it is probable
such a change would be welcomed by all
teams. There is little doubt that the Drey-
fuss idea would also result IN club beneh,
by reason OF improved physical condition
OF the players owing to reduced tempta-
ton to overeating.
