OBJECT TO LONG RACE.
Davenport's Transcontinental Horse
Test ArousPs Protest

The War Department is receiving many
protests from humane societies and soft
I hearted persons who are objecting 10 the
proposed transcontinental race between
Homer Davenports Arabian stallion. a
cavalry horse. and mule. which is TO be
held at a future date under the auspices
/ Of the department.
As originally planned. the test was 70
/ begin at Portland, Greg. and the horses
were to be ridden across the country to
New York. The sickness Of Mr.. Daven-
ports stallion, however. made it neces-
sary TO indefinitely postpone the test
One Of the complaints received at the
department was from the president Of the
/ American Humane Association. who OBJ
/ jeCted to the test on the ground that II
would lead to other similar endurance
| tests which might be carried on under less
I careful management.
The officials do not take the protests
/ seriously. as it was the intention Of the
army officers who had charge of the pro-
posed test of endurance to make every
/ provision for the comfort and the health
| of the animals entered and 20 protect
/ them against weather changes. bad food
and water. and the natural obstacles OF
| the journey. The endurance test will
probably not take place unless Mr. Dav-
export has another Arabian horse which
! he will enter in the competition. as the
/ stallion he originally entered is suffering
/ from an incBrable lung disease.

SOFT COAL UP AGAIN.
Third Rise in Month Marks Highest
Price Of Season.

PITTSBURG. September 2O.-Another adj
vance in the price of bituminous coal. oc-
casioned by the shortage OF cars and the in
ability to secure miners. has been an
nounced here by the operators of the Pitts
burg district, to go into effect immediately.
This makes the third advance that the
operators have made within the past month.
The advance ranges from to AZ per cent,
and will affect not only the consumer, but
the manufacturer as well. Run-of-mine
coal. which has been selling to the manu-
facturer in carload lots at s1.15 and 81 20
per ton. has been advanced to 81 20 and
ST. 25 per ton. This same coal to consumers.
sold at $1.20 and S1.25 per ton, Is now ad-
vanced to S125 and S1.3O ton.
The present prices are the highest ever
known for coal at this time of the year.
There appears to be no relief from the car
shortage in sight. and there is small chance
of more miners being put to work in the
field within the next few months so that
there Is every indication that the price Of
coal will soar still higher before the winter
is over.
The Pittsburg district, which is affected
by yesterdays advance produces sc, OOO, 900
tons Of coal annually.

Whether or not the striking telegraphers
have appealed to President Roosevelt to
arbitrate the questions involved in the
strike could not be ascertained at the Pres
ident's offices today. Secretary William
Loeb. jr.. declined either to affirm or deny
the report published today that Percy
Thomas. deputy vice president Of the Com

Russell. former president of the New York
city local union, had visited the President
at Sycamore Hill on Wedne sday and talked

thority to go to Washington and request
Labor Commissioner Neill to take steps
looking to the arbitration of the telegra-
piers strike, according to a statement made
at The headquarters of the strikers union
In this city today. 1T was stated that they
had no other authority than to announce
the demands upon which the union would
insist.

not adopted resolution calling for arbi-
tration. The action of Mahan and Dou-

Statement From Small
President Small said today that the situa-
alton is more hopeful within the last three
days than it has been since the strike be-
gan. Il do not look for a speedy termina-
ton of the strike, and negotiations that are
now pending may asst a week or ten days
before completion he AIDED. THE tele-
graph companies and the strikers cannot

source
Mr.. Small expects to leave New York for
Chicago either today or tomorrow.
