EVERY STATE REPRESENTED
American Mining Congress Meets at
Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Dec. 3.-The eleventh an.
nual convention of the American Min
ing congress convened here in Car
negie Music hail. The subjects which
are to be considered, the numerous
nine tragedies in this vicinity, the
geographical location of Pittsburg in

of national prominence who will par

make the convention one of the most
important ever held by the congress.
The convention will continue until
Saturday night. 1t is estimated that
about 1000 delegates, representing
every state in the Union, are in at
tendance.
In addition to the well known min
ing men present there are governors
of sixteen states, senators, congress-
men and men of prominence in the
business affairs of the nation.
The convention was called to order

WOOL TARIFF CONSIDERED D
General Grosvenor Appears fof*Ohio
Producers.


Washington, Dec. 3.-The consider
alton of the tariff on wool, woolen
products and carpets which was be-
gun by the house ways and means
committee at the days hearing deyel-
oped considerable interesting testi-
mony. General Charles HI. Grosvenor,
a former representative in congress
from Ohio, was one of the most i'm
portant witnesses. He appeared for
the wool growers of Ohio.
"You can't reduce the duty on wool
as it stands without destroying the
industry" he told the committee.
'"The industry is now fairly profita-
ble."
AS an argument in favor of the re-
tention of the present duty on wool
General Grosvenor said that under
the low rate of duty imposed on wool
by the Wilson bill the number of
sheep raised in one county of Ohio
decreased from $4,000 to $4,000 with
in four years. Representative Clark
of Missouri later secured the admis-
sion from the former representative
from Ohio that this reduction was, at
least in part, due to the increased
value of land in Ohio. General Gros-
venor claimed that the production of
wool increased when the Dingley tar
iff was enacted.

CASTELLANE SUIT AT PARIS
Princess de Sagan's Side Of Case
Presented.

Paris, Dec. 3.-The suit brought by
Princess de Sagan, his former wife,
for the custody of his three children,
was continued in this city. The prin-
cess, before her marriage to Count de
Castellane, was Miss Anna Gould. M.
Clemenceau, in presenting the prin-
cess side Of the case, emphasized the
fact that the courts of France always
had decided that second marriage
did not affect the rights of parents
with regard to their children, even in
cases where this second marriage was
with the alleged accomplice In adul.
terry. M. Clemenceau then summed
up the contentious of the princess as
follows:
"The count had formally declared
that he would withdraw the suit If the
princess separated from her husband
The facts that the count had offered
to prove were irrelevant and even II
they were established they had nc
bearing upon the education OF the
children. Furthermore, these allega
tions we're denied by the princess
The count was inspired less by solici
tude for the welfare OF his children
than by personal hatred and financia
considerations The princess, since
her marriage to her present husband
has fulfilled in every way her duty to
ward her children. She had not
sought TO ALLEVIATE their affections
from their father. On the other hand
! the count he'd committed the unpar
donable fault Of bringing out the pres
ent scandal to the detriment OF thu
children"

QUESTION OF
COMPETITION
Archbold Asked Regarding
Purchase of Rivals.
KELLOGG PLIES WITNESS
Government Prosecutor Seeks to
Show That the Standard Oil Com
pany Did Not Secure Control Of
Certain Companies to Increase Its
Volume of Business but in Reality
to Destroy Competition.

10 Oestroy Gompettion.
New York, Dec. 3.-When cross.
examination of John d. Archbold was
resumed in the Standard Oil suit Mr..
Archbold was asked about the per-
centage of business done by the
Standard interests in 1879, but said he
could only state that it was large.
Mr.. Kellogg called the attention of
the witness to evidence given several
years ago by III. III. Rogers that in
1879 the Standard and it's affiliated
interests produced 80 to 95 per cent
of the refined oil manufactured.
"If you had that amount of produc-
tion do you still say that you acquired
the plants on the seaboard to increase
your volume of business?"
II cannot say what percentage OF
business we were doing"
Mr.. Kellogg was seeking to show
that in reality the Standard did not
purchase certain seaboard refineries
to increase the Standards business,
but to destroy competition. The gov
ernment prosecutor piled the witness
with many questions to develop this
contention.
Mr.. Kellogg read a statement, pur-
porting to give the percentages OF
domestic business of the Standard be-
tween 1894 and 1898, which averaged
about 80 per cent.
Assuming that the Standard did
I82 per cent In 1895 why did you &C
Quire additional refineries?" asked
the examiner.
THAT was done to succeed to their
business"
The method OF the acquisition ol
several minor subsidiary companies
which had been taker over at the
time of the formation Of the trust
and the disposition of them were the
subject of questions Mr.. Kellogg en-
deavored to show that the Standard
instead Of developing Its own business
by its own efforts, took over compel
itors and in that way increased Its
own business.
| Mr.. Kellogg brought to the atten
tion of the witness several independ
ent companies In which the STANDARD
obtained a majority of the stock but
which continued to be operated BY
their original owners. Mr.. Archbolt
said that j. c. Sibley organized thu
Signal Oil company Of Franklin, Pa.
and General Charles Miller developed

NO BLOODSHED
ATTENDS COUP
Nord Alexis Deposedas Pres
ident Of Hayti.
REVOLT AT PORT AU PRINCE

Armed Citizens Take Possession of
the City Without Resistance on the
Part Of the Government Troops and
General Legtime Accepts the Pres
idency of the Provisional Admins
tration.
Port au Prince, Hayti, Dec 3.-The
people of Port au Prince have revolt
ed against the government. They are
now in possession of the city. There
has been no fighting with the govern
ment troops.
A provisional government has been
established and General Legitime has
accepted the presidency of the new
administration.
The events came before they were
expected. Uneasiness was noticed
throughout the night on the part of
the people, but it was not thought that
the outbreak would occur so quickly
nor that the movement would be sue
cessful without the shedding of drop
of blood.
The deposed president. Nord Alexis,
is still at the palace. The members
of the diplomatic corps are in confer
ence for the purpose of taking meas
ures to facilitate and hasten the de-
parture of Nord Alexis from the re
public.
The coup has been remarkably sue.
.cessful All the ministers, together
N \ the high military officials under
Nord Alexis. have taken refuge in the
various foreign legations. These are
the same men who nine months ago
were protesting vociferously against
the granting of the right of refuge to
unsuccessful revolutionists by the for
eign diplomatic and consular repre-
sentatives. Now they are only toe
happy to seek the protection of for
eign flag to escape the fury OF the
people.
The only man to remain loyal tc
Nord Alexis Is General Camille Ga
briel, his nephew, who for the last six
months has directed the policy Of the
Alexis administration. Gabriel is al
the palace with Alexis.
The movement had becn well organ
lied. In the early hours of the morn
ing bands of citizens, organized and
armed, moved quietly about the town
and took possession Of various points
Of vantage. The movement was di
rected by General Canal, Q member ol
the senate.
1t is a remarkable fact that not 8
shot was fred. The soldiers OF Moro

upper hand and they quickly let 1t be
seen that they had no intention -o'

the French cruiser Duguay Trouin un-
doubtedly had a restraining influence.
Movement Well Organized.
The citizens are in possession of
the Central police station and all the
other police outposts, the arsenal and
the port. These bodies of men are all
we'll armed and well supplied with
ammunition. The fact that they are
thus prepared shows the thoroughness
with which the movement was organ
ized.
AS soon as the success of the move
ment was established a number of
prominent citizens held meeting and
formed a committee of public safety
and the maintenance of order I'm Port
au Prince is now in the hands of this
body.
The fact that Nord Alexis ministers
deserted him at the last moment did
not come as a complete surprise.
Their loyalty was suspected and the
defections of the last two or three
days showed clearly what might be
expected. General Jules Coicou, the
military commander of Port au Prince,
is among the refugees, as is also Gen
eral Hyacinthe. Coiccu is the man
who caused the assassination of his
own brother and two of his cousins
last January for completely in the un-
successful revolutionary movement
that broke out at that time and
Hyacinthe is the official who presided
at the wholesale execution that fol-
lowed the suppression of this out
break. He has taken refuge at the
German legation. General Leconte,
minister of the interior. and M. La
fentant, one of the personal advisers
of Nord Alexis, took refuge in the
French legation. General Marcelin,
| minister of finance and commerce,
also is a refugee.
Later in the day the palace was
surrounded by an infuriated mob call
| ing upon Nord Alexis to leave the
country Almost everybody in the
| crowd was armed. Haytian women,
beside themselves with rage, called
down curses on the head of the aged
man and hurled coarse epithets at
| him and his family.
Sailors from the American cruisers
ore at present in the American l.ga-
tion, where they are arranging a sys-
tenn of signals between the legation
and the cruisers in order that de-
mand for a landing force may be
communicated quickly should occasion
arise.
| Armed sailors from the two Amer.
lean cruisers and the French cruiser
In the harbor have landed. They are
| guarding their respective legations.
