Friendly Greeting On The Corn

ment In Manchester.

London Especially A hostile de-
monstration on the floor OF the Cot
ton Exchange at Manchester and one
directly contrasting 1t for friendli-
ness on the Corn Exchange, at Liv-
erpool, were met with by James A.
Patten. the Chicago wheat and cot
ton operator.
In the first. Mr.. Patten was mob
bed and probably escaped injury
only by being rescued by the police;
in the latter he was greeted with
cheering and other manifestations or
friendliness.
The brief vacation in England OF
the Chicago operator had been spent
mostly about the Liverpool markets,
and he made up his mind to run
over TO Manchester TO see the city
and visit the cotton exchange.
As soon as Patten appeared on
he floor OF the Cotton Exchange a
broker shouted "Patten," Instantly
hostile cries we're raised and the air
was filled with bookings" and boot
ings mingled with an occasional
cheer.
Amid the din the brokers rushed
toward the American. who was
quickly surrounded by a threaten
ing mob and jostled hither and
thither. as the pressure of excited
throngs behind carried those in the
circle up and down the floor Of the
pit In an exhausting scrimmage.
After a while. the brokers exert
ing their energies in a common dt-
rection made final rush and drove
the wheat king out of the door and
into the street The business of the
exchange was suspended and hun
dreds of men left the pit and fol-
lowed the speculator into Bank
Street. where another crowd was
soon assembled.
At this point the visitor received
a reception even more riotous than
that which greeted him within the
exchange. The mob hurled epithets,
and a hundred fists were shaken at
Patten. who turned deathly pale as
the threatening crowd pressed close
ly and seemed on the point of per-
sonally assaultins him.
At critical moment strong
force of police arrived and, forcing
their way through the rioters and
officers. surrounded Patten, and a
moment later they had hustled him
into an office and out the back door
into cab. In which he was hur-
riedly driven to railroad station.
He took the first train for Liver
pool.

Men Are Entombed And There Is
Little Hope For Them.

Wilkes-Barre. Pa. Especially. =
From z to II men were entombed
in the No. shaft OF the Lehigh an
Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, near
here, as the result of a terrific ex-
plosion of rock and wall OF fire and,
at present, there appears to be little
hope of reScuing them alive.
The explosion occurred shortly
after o'clock in the No. IL plane,
where a sang of men were putting
together hosting engine The
mine was idle all week and the men
were taking this opportunity of put
ting the engine together.
What caused the explosion is not
known. but it is believed that the
men struck an unknown accumula-
ton of gas with their naked lamps.
The explosion was an exceedingly
heavy one and the fall of rock ex-
tended for some distance along the
plane.
A fire fighting force was organic
ed and at IL O'Clock a thousand feet
of hose was sent down into the mine
in an effort to play water on the
fire. There was good supply of
water. but the firefighters were han
dieapped by deadly fire damp which
gathered in large quantities.
None of the officials was able TO
tell the number of men who we're in
the workings when the explosion oc-
Cured.
The officials at midnight reported
that none of the entombed men had
been reached and that the fire was
spreading. They hoped. however
that II the men had not been killed
by the explosion that they have been
able to reach a place of safety.
Every effort is being made to
reach the men quickly. but the gen.
eral opinion is that the chances OF
reaching them are small.

Washington, D. C. (SpeciaD.-
Foreign steamship companies whose
vessels ply between American and
foreign ports are subject to the law
imposing a tax of l per cent. on the
net incomes of the corporations, ac-
cording to an opinion rendered BY
Attorney General Wickersham.
Foreign corporations operating in
this country are required to pay q
tax on their net incomes from BUSH
ness transacted and capital invested
in the United States.
1t was insisted upon the part Of
these steamship companies that mas
much as receiving and discharging
cargoes and passengers was a mere
incident to the principal service rem
dered by them, which consisted In
the transportation of cargoes and
passengers over the high seas, they
had no income derived from business
transacted in the United States. Mr..
Wickersham says he is of the opin-
ion that this contention canno: be
maintained. He declares:
These companies have a large
amount of capital invested in
wharves, warehouses and other IA
cilities essential to carrying on their
business in this country. Their bust
ness consists entirely in transporting
passengers and goods and merchan-
disc between ports in this country
and those of foreign countries and
receiving and discharging the same.
Through agents located here all con-
tracts and arrangements incident to
such a business at this end of their
lines are made. and all reports are
delivered to their warehouses and
are loaded upon their vessels and
their passengers embark while they
are within the limits of the United
States; and likewise while here their
imports are loaded and passengers
from foreign ports disembark.
