Sept. 22.-The Postoffice Department has practically completed ar rangements for the handling of Oriental mail from this country by the establish ment of stations at Nagasaki, Japan, and at Taku and Tien-Tsin, China. The de partment has beta notified that Henry Robinson and O. M. Hunt, who were dis patched to China some weeks ago, have established an office at Tien-Tsin, whence all the mail for the army will be dis tributed. The troops remaining on guard In Peking will be served from the station and ether north China mail will be distributed fn.m Taku, the army co-operating with the pctoffioe officials to this end. Owing to the rapid shifting cf troops back and forth tu ween thl country, China and the Phil ippines, it has been necessary to establish a transfer station at Nagasaki, where an expert of the department keeps track of all the military organizations . and re distributes their mail so as to reach them with the least possible delay. In addition to these provisions for quick service in the far East, the department recently has dispatched W. II. Wanna maker from the department here to estab lish a preliminary inspecting and auditing service for the money order department ir. Manila.

PULLS THE STITCHES. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) fnan is so cold that he drinks hot tea and sweats Ice water.' "I personally know." continued Mr Irish, that Mr. Olney's course was intensely dis pleasing to Mr. Cleveland." At the meeting to-night Mr. Irish was Introduced by Charles McCulloch, presi dent of the Hamilton National Bank, who has long been a Democrat, and who re cently declared for prosperity and McKin ley. Mr. Irish spoke for two hours on expansion, imperialism, four years more of a full dinner pall, the variance of Bryan's theory of Philippine alienation and its prac tice in the light of the civil war, and the supreme trial to come to organized labor when the competition of cheap labor of the South compels organization of the dis franchised negroe mill workers. He pointed out that this competition already is felt, and soon the organizers of unions from the North must enter Tillman's State and other Southern States to protect the wage scale of the North by organizing the negroes. "Then." said Mr. Irish. "Senator Till man, who is now in the North seeking to steer the free labor vote to Bryan, will turn that shotgun to whose use he has so long been accustomed in governing ne groes, without their consent, against those who are seeking to save the wage scale of the North by raising that of the South to its level." m , , The speech made a profound impression, and was delivered with that masterful ora tory for which Mr. Irish is famous.

Havens, cf Tcrre Haute, addressed a rousing Re publican meeting at the courthouse to night. The weather was rainy, but in spite of this the courtroom was crowded almost to suffocation. The speaker was introduced by James C. Carlton, who all his life has been one of the most prominent figures in the Demo cratic ranks of the county and the district and one of the best posted politicians in the täte, who also made an address, declaring his intention to support McKinley. This was a surprise to the Democrats who thought the talk of Mr. Carlton forsaking that party for McKinley and prosperity was only gossip. The influence of Mr. Carlton s Judgment In this action will be strongly Ilt. as he has been one of the most un compromising Democrats and has rnade his choice thus late in life only after a careful and deliberate decision.

All three have been leaders In the work for the Republicans In years past and are still for the ticket. Their names were used and published without their con sent or knowledge, for the purpose of cre ating the impression that the Shelbyville factory men are for Bryan.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) declining all direct communication with the Council. The conflict has been simmering since the Nationalist victory at the late municipal election and the choice of the militant Nationallst, M. Grebauval, as pres ident of the Council. The latter began hos tilities soon after he assumed office by of fering an overt affront to President Loubet and M. Waldeck-Rousesau by ostentatious ly leaving the gymnastic festival in the gardens of the Tuileries, at which they were present. The Nationalist press warm ly approved this action on the part of M. Grebauval. The government's first reply was its fail ure not to invite representatives of the mu nicipality to attend the unveiling of the "Washington and Lafayette monuments In this city, and other incidents of a like na ture followed. Then the municipality's projected fetes in honor of all the mayors of France, in connection with which Pres ident Loubet refused to receive the town officials who were to offer him an invita tion, as the fete was obviously intended as a demonstration against the govern ment. The latter, moreover, through the medium of the prefects of the Seine and Paris, strangled the fete by informing Mayor Grebauval that he had no authority to Issue invitations, except conjointly with the prefects. M. Grebauval, thus humil iated, and finding that most of the replies to his Invitations were refusals in which the writers roundly reproved him for work ing to undermine the republic, abandoned the fete. The government cleverly retorted by announcing that the people of Paris would not lose by the abandonment, for the arrangement begun by the munici pality would be carried through under the auspices of the exposition authorities. The next development in the duel was a renewed bid for popularity by deciding that the sum originally allotted for the expenses of the mayoral fete should be distributed among the poor of the various wards. Then, It Is stated, the municipality asked an Interview with M. Waldeck-Rousseau in order that they might discuss a new municipal bill which would make the muni cipality more independent. This applica tion was made by the vice president; and M. Waldeck-Rousseau's response, pub lished to-day, is the last and most serious phase of the struggle between the two bodies. M. Waldeck-Rousseau did not even write to the vice president direct, but to the prefect of the Seine, whom he asks to In form the vice president that his application is refused. The premier points out that M. Grebauval has broken all relations with him. He says it Is difficult to allow the municipal councils to be represented by the vice presidents when it desires to enter into communication with the government, and by the president when it Is a question of Insulting it. M. Waldeck-Rousseau con cludes by instructing the prefect to receive all the council's communications to the government. DIRECT APPEAL. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) the ride, and then he was taken by special train over the River Jordan to Salt Air on the beach of Salt lake. About 2,000 people were gathered there to hear him speak. The Governor was induced to take a plunge In the lake, and kodak fiends made a rush to "snap" him as he swam out to ward Antelope island. "Oh," said he, "if they can stand it, I can." Senator Carter, of Montana, watched the Governor making out through the buoyant wages, and exclaimed: "Well, this is the first real man the East has ever sent West. He will make votes just because he is not sluck up. He Is at home in a club and a workshop, and what he does is never ridiculous. He has done the party more good in the West than any man that could have been sent." After the swim the Governor, as he passed to the platform, met a member of the Utah Battery, a boy who had seen the worst of the service in Luzon. "My boy," said the Governor, "you were with the Utah Battery, were you not?" The boy could only nod his head, he was so surprised at being spoken to. The Gov ernor shook his hand and passed on. Once on the platform the Governor found that his reception had no lukewarmness in it. The people cheered and cheered him in the Western fashion. He turned to look at those who sat with him. There were apostles of the Mormon Church. Protestant missionaries, two Catholic priests, men from the mines and men from the alfalfa fields, men from the shops and men from the railroads. Comparing Experiences. Harper's Bazar. "Ah, Mrs. De Styles, how do you do?" said Mr. Seers, cordially, at the reception. "This is the first time I've seen you since I ran across you in Paris. What did you think of the exposition?" "Oh, wasn't it splendid!" cried Mrs. De Styles, enthusiastically. "Do you remem ber the Hall of Light? I nearly die of covetousness every time I think of it." "Why, no! The Hall of Light? Why, what, where, was it?" queried Mr. Seers, with a puzzled frown. "Don't you really know? In the Champ de Mars," explained Mrs. De Styles." "Where all those magnificent gowns were exhibited by the dressmakers." "Oh!" said Mr. Seers, comprehendingly. "But weren't you stuck by the beauty of" "There was a dinner dress in black Span ish lace over white taffeta, the skirt ac cordion pleated." interrupted Mrs. De Styles, eagerly, "that was indeed a beauty. The bodice-" "Didn't you find that the Palace of Fine Arts appealed irresistibly to your aesthetic aspirations?" asked Mr. Seers, ponderously. "Speaking of appealing irresistibly," cried Mrs. re Styles, "there was the most delicious ball dress that appealed so to me that I almost faint when I think of any body else ever wearing it. it was white tulle 'over pink, with the most wonderful design of embroidered lilies in soft floss silks Intersecting arabesques of white spangled " "Er yes," assented Mr. Seers. "How did you like the electric fountain?" "Oh, pretty well. But there was a man tle of embroidered mousseline de sole and bands of cloth and gold, relieved with jet and silver flowers, that was magnificent," replied Mrs. De Styles. "Didn't you think old Paris very Inter esting?" asked Mr. Seers, as she stopped for breath. "Very," acknowledged Mrs. De Styles. "And there was the most interesting bodice with the collar and the empiecement trans parent, and a beautifully embroidered em pire corselet in pale blue faille, flnishet! with Oh, must you go, Mr. Seers?

An Operator Shorrs that Anthracite Diggers Make $50 a Month Schedule of Prices. CHICAGO, Sept. 22-AssertIons as to the wages paid to striking Pennsylvania an thracite miners made by President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers organization, and printed in different news papers, have occasioned the following statement by George Merryweather, Chi cago representative of the Coxe Bros Coal Company, bearing on the same Bubject and giving the operators view. Mr. Merry weather prepared his statement In response to a request for information made by ex Representative George E. Adams. Accom panying a copy of the wage scale paid by the Coxe Bros.' Company was another statement showing the scale paid by the Susquehanna Coal Company, adopted Dec. 11, 1S50. The letter and statement follow: "Referring to our conversation the other day regarding the statements which are made through the public press by Mr. Mitchell, the president of the miners union, and which statements are being used to the fullest extent by Mr. Bryan in this campaign, I beg to give you the following authoritative information, and in order to do so effectively I deem it best to put It in the form of questions and answers: "First What are the average wages at the present t.'rae for miners and laborers connected with the collieries? "Answer At our own collieries the ordi nary miners average about $00 per month. The miners working under contract at our drift collieries Nos. 1 and 2 earned during the month of August, 1900 (such earnings being net, after all deductions) as follows: 20 miners $30 to $40 2C miners 40 to W 15 miners 50 to 60 14 miners 60 to 70 10 miners 70 to SO 4 miners SO to 90 2 miners 90 to 100 2 miners 110 to L0 1 miner 130 to 140 2 miners 150 to 160 1 miner 160 to 170 1 miner 180 to 190 1 miner 200 to 205 93 "As these figures on the contract miners vary, explanation is probably necessary. Somo contract miners undoubtedly work more regularly than others, and then the ability of each n m was put to a test, and shows accordingly. I also inclose you a schedule of the scale of wages adopted Dec. 11, im, by the Susquehanna Coal Com pany, large operators in the anthracite re gion, which gives daily wages paid to every class of help about a colliery. "Second What is the rule as to dockage for impurities on the condition of coal mined? "Answer This depends upon the condi tion in each case, and this is answered fully in Section 1 of the schedule of the Susquehanna Coal Company. "Third AVhat is the condition In the an thracite regions as regards company stores? "Answer No companies have stores; only a few individual operators. "Fourth Do the companies insist upon the payment of $1 per month for doctor, or is this optional with the men? "Answer None of the large companies have any company doctors; only a few individual operators, and my Impression is that in these cases the amount deducted for the doctor Is 50 cents per month Instead of $1. "Fifth Are children under the age pre scribed by law employed in the breakers? "Answer Not knowingly. If the foreman is in doubt, a certificate is required from the parents. "These facts completely annihilate the statements of Mr. Bryan that the earnings of the miners in,. the anthracite regions average $2U per annum. I trust that the information given you will prove of serv ice." WAGES PAID TO MINERS. The following is the attached statement: Scale of wages adopted Dec. 11, 1$00, by Susquehanna Coal Company: Fire boss $2.47 & $2.66 Driver boss 1.92 Company miner 2.23 Company miner's laborer 1.70 Track layer 2.23 Track layer's helper 1.73 Shaft repairman 2.23 Shaft repairman's helper........ 1.70 TImberman 2.23 Timberman's helper 1.70 Carpenter or doormaker 2.00 Carpenter or doormaker's helper 1.70 Bratticeman 2.00 Bratticeman's helper 1.54 Head runner 1.75 Runner l.CO Runner and driver 1.54 Head footman of shaft (oil clothes) 1.S0 Head footman Of shaft, helper.. 1.70 Headman, inside shaft 1.75 Headman's helper.

His place is unique there and in all the world besides. In all the world besides no other man has the confidence, affection and pride of so many men. It Is not merely the private soldier who is wholly satisfied slmnly to be led by him. The feeling is the same among the officers. He has Infinite tact, because he Is In complete sympathy with every man In or above the ranks. He returns every salute; he talks to every sort of sol dier; he knows them by name by the hun dreds. He Is more profuse In kind words and compliments than in reproof, just as he is most inclined to be gentle and kindly, yet every man knows how firm and severe he can be. In those two sentences lies the definition of perfect Justice, which he nearly personifies. He makes so little show and parade that there is no plainer man among his 200,000; and yet he is always as neat as a pin; a straight-built, solidly set up, quick, nervous little man, with bright eyes under a majestic fore head and above a masterful, chin. His face Is so sad and gtntle when it is In repose that you have to look at it again and again and then only to add to your wonder how that can be this visage of a man who deals death for a profession, and leads to death the flower of the army he loves. Look at the same face again when he is speaking giving orders. It is Just as kindly, but the melancholy has fled, and in its place is the Indefinable tracery called "command." At Dreefontein he came out to where a naval battery was and sat down on a camp-stool brought for him by his Indian attendant. He spoke to the officer in com mand of the battery cheerily, and now and then he asked the younger officers a ques tion. All the time he was smiling and looking most pleased, though, for its size there has not been a hotter battle In the war. Gallopers and staff officers came and went, bringing news and taking away or ders. "Tell the Colonel So-and-so to move a little forward and to the left." "Say that I wish So-and-so would push for ward." It was all as quietly and calmly said and done, there In the heat of battle and within range of the enemy's guns as calmly and quietly done as ever a bank manager issued orders to his clerks on a dull afternoon. And, just as suddenly as ho came, the field marshal sprang up and walked away, with the Indian and the chair at his heels. Indiana has now one1 of the best life In surance laws ever enacted. While millions or dollars have been sent out of the State for insurance, which has gone to build up foreign companies and enrich foreign stock holders we now have a company organized under the Indiana law, equal to any for t'gn company doing business in the State and superior to most of them.

L. KLINE.. o o INGALLS BLOCK, ...Take TAIL END OF THE FAIR EXrEXSES AXD RECEIPTS OP THE WEEK ABOUT I1ALAXCE. Exhibitors Busy All Day Getting Their Goods Away More Talk of the Match llace. After closely computing the expenses and receipts of the state fair last week the members of the State Board say the re ceipts about balance the expenses and there will be no profit. It has been estimated that the total expenses were in the neigh borhood of $28,000 and the receipts about the same amount. The salaries of the offi cers of the State Beard will probably have to be paid out of the reserve fund. The fair grounds yesterday displayed a scene of hustling by the exhibitors, who were busy packing their exhibits and ship ping them away. There was a small at tendance, but the exhibits were all shipped away during the day. There was some talk of the match race between Anaconda and Searchlight on Fri day, which ended so unfavorably. Horse men say the owners of Anaconda will ap peal to the National Trotting Association, claiming that the decision of the associa tion in. placing the distance flag at forty yards from the wire was an arbitrary rul ing and outside the provisions of the Na tional Trotting Association rules. The reg ular distance mark is eighty yards, and horsemen say there is a doubt as to whether the fair association had a right to place the distance flag at forty yards, un der which Anaconda was distanced. It was acknowledged that the race was a serious mistake, and the drivers of the two horses had said before the race that their pacers were in no condition to make a race. This was known to the officials and those Interested in the matter said an announce ment should have been made that the horses would go on the track and do the best they could under the circumstances. But no announcement was made, and the crowd was thoroughly disgusted with the result. CITY NEWS NOTES. Mr. and Mrs. George P. Meier, of 837 North-Delaware street, have returned from Chicago.
