AMONG THE EXCHANGES.
Baltimore Sun: The attitude of
the coal trust before the people is
incomprehensible, Their response
to the president's efforts to settle
the strike and avert what may be
an awful calamity will excite gen
eral indignation and divest the coal
corporation of all sympathy from
any reasonable man.
Pittsburg Dispatch: It is not be
lieved that Secretary Shaw will wear
out his copy of the United States
etatutes to discover a loophole that
will permit the government stock of
eoal to be loaned to the people
whose coal bins do not match the '
full dinner pail.
Atlanta Constitution: The iras
makers of the East are beefing at a
tremendous rate because the law
fixes the price of iras. They have
such a good excuse for iaisi:ig the
price, but it is no use.
Birri!;:rjÎ!!im Ledger: As long as |
Indiana harbors Taylor and Illinois
whitecaps n^irree we are a little free
from thoir criticisms of Southern

Boers are u >t so poorly off after all. j

the etreet car strike Is now on. Gov
ernor Heard and Mayor Capdevllle
failed to effect a settlement. The
proposition of twenty cents per hour,
wtth a ten-hour day. was voted on by
the union, and It was rejected by an
overwhelming: majority.
Governoi Heard Friday night issued
a proclamation aeainst unlawful as
semblies on the streets and warning
to the people to preserve order.
A conference was then held looking
to the disposition of the military
forces In anticipation of an attempt
to run cars today.
Six companies of militia from the
country will be rushed here by special
train
A force of eighteen companies of
eighty men each of citizen soldiery
has been formed very quietly, and
they can be relied on to answer any
call.
Negotiations did not cease alto
gether with the rejection of the twenty
cents and ten-hour proposition by the
carmen's union The governor again
presented it to them, with a guarantee
from the New Orleans Railways com
pany to reinstate all the old employes
At midnight the carmen's committee
was still considering it. The labor
presidents adopted a resolution sug
gesting that the whole controversy be
submitted to arbitration This was
done with the approval of the carmen
The railways committee will not
censent to the βrbltration of the quee
tion of wages.

fore RM»rU«f to Fore·.
New Orleans, Oct. 10.—Heavy rains
this morning materially reduced
the crowds of strikers and their sym
pathizers in Cana! street in vicinity of
car barn Anticipating. however,
there might be an early attempt to
run cars and to give justification for
promptly ordering the military from
their armories Chief Journee sent ten
wagon loads of policemen to the
scene. Mail cars were run as usual
but no efTort made to operate cars for
the benefit of the public. If inclement
weather continues there will be prob
ably be fierce public demand for im
mediate arbitration.
The feed wires on Canal street were
cut during Thursday night from Clai
borne to Prieur street and until they
are repaired no car can be run over
the Cana! street line
Governor Heard was up early and
in conference with military officials.
The St. Charles hotel at which he has
headquarters was thronged with citi
zens, railway's officials and staff of
fleers
Governor Heard, accompanied by
Attorr. ;· General Guion, went to the
city hall and met Mayor Capdeville.
After a short conference between
those oScials messengers were sent
summoning the leaders of the strikers
to the hall. The governor has hope·
of peaceable adjustment. If that fails
the situation will be Jaken hold of
with strong hands
The president of the Carmen's union
and twenty-one of the executive com
mittee answered promptly the sum
mons of the governor.
After the conference with the gov
ernor those pnrsent refused to say
what took place there. The strike
leaders only said the men would hold

gestions made by the mayor and the
governor.

of the Texas Mexico and National
firemen is still on and not a wheel
is turned over either road out of thie
city. The railroad yards are still
blockaded and three trains stand with
dead locomotives on the main track
at Neuvo karedo and not even an ef
fort is being made by the officials to
operate trains.
> It was learned that no effort has
been made to end the strike, but that,
on the contrary, the officials af the
road are determined to fight the
strike to the bitter end.
In response to a request sent to Gov

be sent to the scene of the strike, the
governor sent State Adjutant Thoe.
Scurry with a party of rangers to this
city.
United States Marshal Haason has
also arrived. Mr. Hanson is here at
the request of Attorney Geeeral Knex

no aotlon beyond protecting the UaJKed
States malls, but raa««r· will afford
protection to the railroad. ·

i men, two Austrian· and a Swiss They
1 will begin with the Godwin Austen,

j highest mountain in the world. 29,000
feet high. The Himalaya record is

high, ten years ago.
Race Spirit of Boer».
j The Boer leaders are exhorting their
' people to preserve the race spirit,
ι writes a reporter for the New York
! Sun. At the same time they acknowl
, edge frankly that South Africa is now
I under one flag. Why should not the
Dutch keep up the traditions of their
! country, as Scotland. Wales and Ire
' land do? Anyhow, as matters now
stand, no other colony has such a glor
| ious past to point to as the former
South African republics.
Bey Revives Old Custom.
The new Bey of Tunis, reviving an
old custom, will repair twice a week
to the Palais at Tunis, which is the
seat of government. Complying with
the custom, which debars him from

he will remain at Carthage, while the
late Bey'e palace will be assigned to
his cousin and heir. Prince Naceur. As
the new Bey understands French th·
office of interpreter will be abolished.
Wearing of Thumb Ring».
Thomas a Becket possessed a thumb
ring set with a valuable ruby, which
was about the size of a hen's egg. This
ring was a gift from Louis VII. of
France. At the reformation BlufT King
Hal seized the archbishop's ring from
his despoiled eh tine and took It for his
own personal adornment, thus bring
ing thumb rings back into fashion for
λ while. They had long been abaa
doned by the upper classes and had
come to be considered as indicative of
tee burgess class.
Lord Beresford's Coming Visit.
I.ord Charles Beresford's coming
visit to this country to inquire into the
workings of shipping combinations
eeerr.s to show that he has once more
assumed the role of free lance, now
that he has given up his position as
second In command of the British
Mediterranean squadron. He has been
criticising that fleet as poorly equipped
and supplied and says that more fast
cruisers are necessary to maintain Its
efficiency.
Not Worry, but Slumber.
They were discussing suicide* and
the proneness of different peoples to
depart In that way. when one of those
engaged in the conversation turned to
a colored man and asked: "Why is
it that so few of your people take
their own lives?" After scratching
his head a moment the person ad
dressed responded: "Well, 1 tell you,
boss, when a nigger sits down he
don't worry, but goes to sleep."
Miniature Court in Paris.
"The Due d'Orleaus. not being able
to enter France and carry on the roy
alist propaganda himself, is doing it
by deputy. The LJuchease d'Orléans
has been spending some time in Paris
and holding a kind of diminutive court
at Hotel Continental. Deputations of
various kinds were received, but the
indifference with which the whole af
fair was regarded proves how harm
less the move really was.
Unexpected Recuit of Feud.
The feud between the Hargis aad
Cockrell families in and around Jack

Fire Insurance companle* doing busi
