The \Aeathering Of Coal.

It is probably not generally known
that coal exposed to the atmosphere
undergoes chemical changes greatly
affecting its quality. Moisture is The
most powerful agent in producing such
change. 1t il matter Of common
knowledge among men engaged In the
making Of Illuminating gas thar coal
which has been stored for long time
experiences loss OF hydrocarbons,
and the effects Of the change are
shown In diminution Of the volume
Of the coal ana In q loss Of illuminate
ing power IN the gas produced from It,
Snch chemical changes occurring In
great masses of coal may even produce
sufficient accumulation Of heat to cause
spontaneous com bustfen.

President VIII Keep Hands of.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 16.-Presi- dent Roosevelt will not concern himself personally with the tel egraphers' strike, according to the best information obtainable here tonight.
 Appeals to the president to take some action looking to a settlement of the strike were re. ceived at the executive office here from Boards of Trade and com mercial bodies in many cities. The applications were similar in character to those formulated by the Chicago Board of Trade. Each emphasized the importance of direct action by the president.
 The 52 communications have been referred to Commissioner of Labor Charles P. Neill. It is understood that no instructions or recommendations have been forwarded to MT. Neill. From the first hehas been actively en' deavoring to effect settlement of the trouble. It is stated here that he has yet made no report to the president, nor has he received any messages from MT. Roose- welt touching the matter in hand.
 Mir. Neill's movements, how ever, have been closely followed and while the direct statement is not made, the impression is given that in Mr. Neill's efforts the administration considers that the limit of it's functions and au- thority in the matter is being ex. ercised.

Strike Uncha nged.

The strike situation has chang ed very little. One thing is cer- tain, according to what members of the union stated yesterday, and that is that there is a grim determination on the part of the union men to hold out to the bit ter end. Nor do they expect or intend to spend the time from now until a possible settlement in idleneSS. As an example of their determination they cite the case of one man, an Associated Press operator, who has been making about $40 a week in Chi cago, and who has quit to take a job as operator with the Rock Island at S57.50 per month.
 In fact" says one of the un- ion officials, if this thing continues we will all be going to work for the various railroad companies of the country. They need men, and lots of them, and rather than to be idle for any length of time, we will accept a position with them, although the wages they pay are disgracefully low. In reference to this, 1 think that they will raise the pay of operators on all railroads, taking the recent strike as a wholesome warning, which they would do well to heed. For the time is not far off when the railroad compa- nies will no longer be able to hire an operator who is an operator at such salary as S52 or even S62 per month.
 It Is likely that Oy Septem- Der }, when the eight hour law goes into effect generally, the railroad companies will raise the salaries of all their telegraph op- orators. We have telegraphic confirmation this morning that 400 operators employed by the United States Steel Corporation struck in sympathy yesterday, and that in New York 30 non-un- ion operators have quit work, and joined the ranks of the strikers.
 Of these three were chief oper- ators, three were women and "A men.

The Governor added the provision to his immunity promise. however, that MT. Fay Tor must guarantee to submit to cross examination if he becomes a witness.
 The Governors promise is supplemental to that of Com mOnWealth' 'S Attorney Franklin, who several weeks ago let it be known that ex-Governor Taylor would not be arrested if he came to Kentucky. MT. Franklin of fered to personally escort Mr.. Taylor to and from the State. When Mr. Taylor was informed over the telephone several weeks ago of Mr. Franklin's promise, he said he could not consider it, as he could tell nothing whatever about the killing of Governor Goebel. He reiterated his belief that Powers was innocent.

 At the time the act was com mitted excitement was high over the crime. Bloodhounds were secured, and if the negro had been caught then it was predict ed that he would have been rough ly handled. After his escape he went to Homan, where he work. ed awhile. and from there he went to Philadelphia, and for the past year he has been working off and on for Darling Bros.
 The arrest occurred on the depot at Prescott this morning, and while Custer denied being the right party at first, he finally acknowledged that he committed the act and that his name was Custer, and not Sherman.
