The fact that there are 10,(XX) or lö.OOO
Anarchists in Chicago And probably a lew
number in proportion to population in
ever; citj in the country, seems to dis
prove the theories of those optimists who
believe that America is m American that
it can "assimilate," as they delight to term
it, an unrestricted in dux oi foreigners.
They believe in opening wide the gate* and
letting all come in who will in the belief
that almost immediately upon their laud
ing at Castle Karden they will become
Americanized. Thns far we have accepted
their teachings and the result is that
we tind nearly 10,(KH) "citi
zens" of Chicago marching behind
the corpses of fonr executed murderers
and bearing on their bi»usts the red em
blem of Aaarclty und calling on the police
to take the Stars and Stripes out of their
procession. Already we have quite a nour
ishing Anarchistic press in this country,
and the Anarchistic vote is such that some
have e\en accused tJov Oolksby of toady
ing to it iu his decision commuting the
seutencc of two of the condemned
Anarchists. Are not recent events a
sort of handwritiug ou the wall
which our lawmakers would do well to
to heed before Anarchy and Socialism get
their grip on Congiess? There is plenty
of room iu this «wintry for honest men who
desire to earn au houest living and will
accept our tl ig. but there should be no
room here lor such a procession as that
witnessed Sunday iu Chicago, and which
could be repeated in almost any city of
Chicago's si/.e in the In ion. There are
some tongh morsels which I'ncle Sam's
stomach cannot assimilate and we should
not wait till he i s compelled to spew theui
out, before we administer the remedy.
ON THE 7th ol' next April will occur the
one hundredth anniversary of the first set

the I'nited States Government, which wa*
made at Marietta. Tbv people of that
city, with the idea of fittingly celebrating
the event, have formed a Woman'sCenten
nial Association, as affording the surest
and best means of accomplishing the end
in view. As a means of acqniring a por
tion of the cash necessary to carrying ont
the project, it has been determined to give
a äortof preliminary entertainment, direct
ly in the line of the Centennial celebration,
which wonld thns serve the dual purpose
of providing funds and awakening pnhlic
interest in the main enterprise. This en
tertainment, will be in the lorru of an his
torical pageant, presented at the City Hall,
in Marietta on the Hth ins t., and prom

Chicago Xeirt says. "In all the prof ession

Marching in front of the precession was an
old gray-haired \eteran soldier bearing
alott a copy of the Stars and Stripes. The
enrage«! Anarchists cal lt d on the police to
take the tlag away. The police, to keep
order, attempted to do so, but the crowds
lining the sidewalks surged forward and
prevented them, and the Stars and Stripes
tloated at the head ot that revolutionary
procession» cheered by the spectators all
along the ronte. There is mnch signifi

THE BLATANT MOST,
H81.D RESPONSIBLE FOU THE H AYM ARKKT
TRAGEDY.
Inspector Byrne» Says H« is the Most Dangerous
Anarchist in Anenca—Biggest Coward
of the Lot—Chamberlain's
Views on Anarchy.
I N«w York. November 14.—Inapector
Byrnes considers John Most the uioat dan
gerous Anarchist in America.
"I regard Most at* responsible for the
Hay market murders in Chicago," the In
spector sa vs. "He is more to be feared than
all the rest. Take the case of Lingg, for in
stance. He was twenty-four years old. He
was born in a province in Germany, and
some years ago |tied to Sweden to escape
the consequences of some act. His sympa
thizers in Sweden became convinced that
he was giving the government information
and be was forced out of the country. From
there went to Chicago, and soon fell under
the spell of Most's indaeuce. He studied
Most's books on the art ot making dyna
mite bombs, and to htm is given the credit
of manufacturing the bombs thrown at the
Hay market. Most's teachings made him a
fanatic. This same Most, though, is the
biggest coward of the whole lot."
It was an uueveuttul Sunday on the
East Side, so far as Anarchist meetings
were concerned. No public display oc
curred. The few Anarchists in Williams
burg who threatened on Saturday to paint
that section ot Brooklyn a crimson color
did not stir themselves yesterday to avenge
the deaths of their Chicago brethren. The
police were on reserve all day, but not
once were their services needed at the
various rendezvous of the men only a few
were seen, and they kept unusually quiet.
The Jersey City Anarchists decided by
vote not to hold a mock tunera'. The
Newark authorities are taking steps to re
voke the licenses of all saloons where An
archists are allowed to meet and air their
views.
Curiosity, mingled with uueasiness, was
felt last night iu New York over the ap
pearance of the following mystic inscrip
tion written on sidewalks and buildings in
all parts of the city : "Der alte Lehmann
soll heiratheu." This in English meaus,
"Lehman intends to get married," and is
thonght by many to be a secret signal or
mot d'ordre previously agreed upon lor con
certed action.
CHAMBERLAIN TALKS
About the Aunri'hiitl«, but Ue Kuow»
More About the TarlQ'.
New York, November 14.—In au inter
view the Kight ! [on. Joseph Chamberlain
said: "As regard* the execution of the An
archists in Chicago I did uot follow the re
ports of the trial, but have somehow the
impresaiou that those men were condemn
ed uot for the doctrines held or preached,
but for the murder of a number ot police
men. 1 hold very strongly to the doc
trine that the tirst duty of a Democracy is
to obey their own law. Change it wheu it
us found wrong, but obey it while it is in
force. Any disobedience to law in a
democracy is treason to the commonwealth.
"Of commerce," he went on, "I can
only speak iu general terms. There are
still great complaints, but less lack of
employment than of diminution inprotits.
That is to fay, capital has suffered more in
proportion than the working class during
the pa>t few years. The production of all
the chief artitles of our trade has continu
ously increased, but the prices they are sold
are so low that the margin of profits has in
many caws disappeared. This is the cane
with iron, coal, cotton and cloth goods,
chemicils and all staples. The manufac
turer will keep on turning out more and
more, so that employment is found prettv
generally tor the population, but the manu
facturers claim that they are doing all this
business for nothing."
"Would a protective tariff ever be possi
ble in England ?" asked the reporter.
"1 do not think the majority of people
wonld submit to anything that wonld in
crease the prices of the cheap articles of
consomption. At the present time our
free trade policy secures to ns the greater
portion of the neutral trade, and if we
were to hamper our production by a pro
tective tariff we should entirely lose this
advantage."
PRESS COMMENT.
What I«» Said of the Anarchist Execution
and Funeral.
Chk'Auo, November 14.—The A Vir*
says editorially: "No true-hearted Ameri
can citizen could view the Anarchist pro
cession. which marched through the streets
of Chicago yesterday, without emotious of
a contlictiug uature. It was a display at
once pitiful and reassuring. That some
thing more than five thousand persons,
mi>u, women and children, should avail
themselves of the funeral of five murder
era, to advertise their sympathy with law
lessness, must he regretted. In the pro
cession were no dags or banners expressive
of hatred to American institutions and
American society; but ou every breast was
pinned the blood-red sigu of revolution.and
destruction. To plain common sense it
appears inexplicable that."».u<x», or 1,000 or
ItH) men in the light of day should wear
the crimson ribbon, and march in the
tiailofexetu'ed murderers. lu the place of
banners, tlower pieces, with mottoes were
borne aioft, the word martyrs being favor
ite among these, vieing with a white dove
in its unappropriateness. The red fl»g,
that in obedience to the Mayor's prohibi
tion, was banished trom the air, rested
upon the coffins of the hanged Kugel and
the self-destroyed Lingu.
"behind the hearse bearing the body ot
Parsons, followed what m est he regarded
as the remnauteof No. 1307, thesuspcnded
K. of L. Assembly, of which he was a
member. Otherwise there was no indica
tion that the great labor organization had
any sympathy with anarchy or mourned
its executed leaders.
"Clearing the way, betöre the procession,
a Grand Army veteran, bearing a cheap
Fonrth of July copy of the Stars and
Stripes, emblazoned with the battles in
which he bad fought. This was the only
tlag displayed along the march Its pres
ence was the freak of a half-cracked brain,
resented by the Anarchists. They had
been prohibited from carrying the red
Hag, and they appealed to the police to
prevent the veteran from ttaunting the
Stars and Strips before the corpses of their
brethren. For once the police would fain
have obliged the Anarchists, bnt they
dared not The old man shook bis flag in
the face of Anarchy, and said he had
braved death under its folds upon the bat
tle field, and he was prepared to die under
it there.
' The police started to prevent this affront
to Anarchy in the presence of the dead.
Bnt the crowd upon the sidewalk surged
forward, and cheering for the old veteran
and the national emblem, forced the police
back. From the Lake street viaduct to
the depot tbo stare and stripes held its
plaoe at the head of the procession, and
was cheered all along the route. This was
significant of the temper of the citizen* of
Chicago.
"In all the procession as tar as the eye
of Um spectator could determine, there
was not an American face. This was
significant of the composition of the pro
cession." ________

ANARCHIST VIRAGO
Make» Her I .aw Abiding Huabaud Very
Weary.
Caicaoo, November 14.—"I have no
use for a man who is too big a coward to
make bombs to kill the police. If yon
won't make bombs I'll leave you." This
was what Mrs. Clara Paech, No. 1010 Van
Horn street, said with all the violence of a
virago to her husband Kudolph on Sun
day night. At the same time, Miss Johanna
Oppitz, Rudolph's sister-in-law, dashed a
bucket of water in his f ace, and old man
Oppitz joined iu the melee and caught his
son-in-law by the neck.
Rudolph swore he would not make
bombs to please his Anarchist wife and her
family; that he was a law abiding citizen;
that he was no coward and no Anarchist.
He would not stand more abuse from
tbem, and took out warrants gainst them
to-day ou charge of assault aud disorderly
conduct. They were arrested and held in
bal each.
A STORY OF FAILURE.
How Ooveruor Oglenhy Received the K. ol
I.. Petitioners.
New York, November 14.—Master
Workman James E. Quinn, of District As
sembly 41», K. of L., got around yesterday
to l'y thagora» Hall in time to be present at
the meeting of the Assembly. He said
that he had been to see Governor Oglesby,
of Illinois, and had presented the petition of
the District Assembly and ot the different
other Knights of I.abor Assemblies in the
State. Governor Oglesby bad receive«! him
kindly.
"It was no use trying to persuade him to
do anything," Master Workman Ouinn
said. "Governor Oglesby said that lor
every petition for mercy received from the
friends of the condemned men he coald
produce hundreds from business men and
reputable and law abiding citizens all over
the country requesting "him to remain
steadfast in supporting the decision of the
courts. There was no unanimity in the
demand for mercy. Some wanted the
prisoners set tree; others again, he
said, talked lor a new trial for the con
demned men. Bat the business men were
unauituous that the men should all be
hanged. It was the l>est that the Gover
uor could do to commute the sentences of
Fieldeu and Schwab to life imprison
ment."
ANARCHIST LKGI9I-ATION.
More I.hui) Needed The Hentiiiieut at
Wa-diiugtou.
Washington, November 11.- Thereisa
feeliug among congressmen that the legis
latures should enact laws which will pun
ish such conspirators and mob-makers as
those who swung at Chicago on Friday,and
finally eradicate every ve»tige of Anarchy
there is iu the country. The question of
law tor these characters, they say, remains
iu the power of the legislatures, and there
is nothing for congress to do. Everybody
here appears to be pleased with the way
the law was enforced at Chicago, and the
greatest credit is given the representatives
of law and order there. Those who at first
believed that hanging was too severe are
now pretty generally satisfied that the
governor did the best, and that it was ab
solutely necessary to treat the disease of
the Anarchists with the most radical rem
edy; that no patience could 1ms exercised iu
deal with such a serious disease, and es
pecially one which was imported and
which threatened to get a foothold which
could not lie dislodged.
Fieldeu and Schwab at Work.
JoI.iet, Ii.LS , November 11.—Fielden
aud Schwab, the Anarchists, were this
morning taken from their cell in the
Court Solitary and assigned to duty and
given a cell in the eastern cell house. On
account of his poor health, Schwab was
put to work in the convict kitchen, where
the food for the prisoners is prepared.
Fielden has been assigned to the cut
stone department, and will probably do
laborer's work. Hol h men wrote letters
to their wives yesterday.
LaKt Ventlge of the AuarcliUU.
Chicago, November 14.—The last ves

the prisoners during their incarceration.
Henry aud Chris. Spies, the brothers of
August, called to get the effects left in the
cell of their brother, (^uite a small libra

New York, November 14.—A Macon
Ga., special says that during the absence
of her husband, Mrs. Win. lieagan, of Mil
ler count)*, was assaulted by a negro la
borer on the farm, named Joe Keese. Mrs.
Reagon happened to bave a knife in her
hand when the negro grabbed her, and a
tearful struggle ensued. She attempted
to cat his throat, but tinally had to give
that up. It was not until a plunge was
made into the abdomen ot her
assailant that he rolled ove*
bleediug profusely. The cut was four
inches long, and disetnbowled the wretch.
The lady, theu thoroughly affrighted, ran
and alarmed the neighbors. When they
gathered at the scene of the outrage they j
found that Heese ha«! escaped, going to
ward the river. They set out in search of
him, armed and swearing that they would
not bring bim back alive. They followed
him across the line into Honda on a hot
trail, and have probably lynched him by
this time.

Base Ball Magnates Revise the Rales—Meeting
at Pittsburg Yesterday—Suggérions by
the Umpires—New Organizations
Discussed—The Brotherhood.
Pittsbitbg, November 14.—The event
in bane ball circles to-day was the session
of the Committee on Revision of Playing
Kales, which began to-day at the Hotel
Anderson.
Long before the meeting was called to
order the lobby of the hotel was filled with
ball players and others interested in the
national game.
The committee began its session at 10:30
with the following members present
Messrs. John B. Day, of New York, A. C.
Spalding, of Chicago, aud A. G. Bcandrett,
of this city, who acted as proxy for Mr.
John K. Rogers, of Philadelphia. This
comprised the League representation. The
American Association representatives were
Zach Phelps, Louisville; William Barnie,
Baltimore, and John Williams, Cleveland.
The meeting was held with closed doors,
although suggestions were received from
all interested in base ball. Mr. Phelps
was called to the chair and Messrs. Scan
drett and Williams Secretaries.
The committee got down to work at
once.
The following resolution was adopted:
Rtsolttd, That a majority of each dele
gation from the League aud American As
sociation shall l»e necessary to adopt any
ameudment changing the playing rnles,
and that the uuanimous recotumeudatious
of this Joint Committee will accompany
the report of such changes to the two re
spective associations.
Suggestions were then received. Umpire
Doeweher asked that the player be called
out for cutting the base without appeal
from captain. Umpire Daniels, to change
box to twelve inches from the plate. Um
pire Powers, to call two seconds momen
tarily to give batter his base if fourth
strike hits him—to fix place for batter
when two men are down for some position.
President Young, to do away with the
base hit on balls and also bunted ball. A
number of suggestions were also received
from Henry Chadwick. A long discussion
was held on the suggestions, but actiou
was deferred until later in the day.
The Committee, after a lengthy discus
sion adopted the following:
Amendment heading, Sec. 2, Rule
construction to be made bv Presidents.
Remlced, That the question of each club
having one or more extra men in uniform,
who may be introduced into the game at
any time, be brought up for discussion at
the annual meeting of the Leigue aud. Asso
ciation.
This was advocated by Mr. Spalding,
who wautfl tostop the players from sulkiug
while on the held.
I nr. m i.*v» * n.\nur.i'«
The alternoon seasion lasted until late
this evening.
After adjournment the committee an
nounced that they had agreed upon the
following changeait! the rules:
Kule 'J2, section 15, referring to score
catds has been amended so that any con
templated changes in teams after the pub
lication of the score card must be submit •
ted to the umpire for his approval.
2 Kule 47, relating to batsmen, has been
changed as follows: It, on the tliirdstrike,
the ball hits the person, or clothing of the
batsman, he shall be declared out; also,
after two strikes have been called, il the
batsman attempts to make a toul hit, he
shall be declared out.
Kule 4 has been changed from four
strikes and five ball to three strikes and
live balls. The rule allowing a base hit
on live balls has been abolished, but at the
suggestion of President Day live balls will
l»e considered a factor in earned runs. A
base on balls will ba crddited against the
pitcher in the error column.
Kule 50, section 4, has been amended
allowing a runner to take a base if the ball
hits the umpire. If the ball struck by the
batsmau hits a base runner after au at
tempt has been made to "field" it the run
ner shall not be declared out.
If a base runner knocks down or runs
into a fielder, he shall be declared out.
A resolution was adopted providing for
the appointment of a representative trom
each association to prepare an official re
port of the chauges to send to their respec
tive organizations.
NEW SCHEME ON FOOT.
The report that a scheme was on foot to
lorm eastern and western base ball leagues
out of the present organizations, appears
to have some foundation. Manager Bar
nie, of the Baltimore club,stated to a Po*t re
porter that efforts were being made to make a
change as expenses ot transportation since
the passage of the Inter-State Commerce
bill made it impossible for base ball clnbs
to travel. The scheme is to form two or
ganizations of eight clnbs each, one to con
sist of the Washington, Baltimore, Phila
delphia, Boston, New York and Pittsburg
clubs, and the other Chicago, St. Lonis,
Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis.
Cleveland, Detroit, and probably Mil
waukee or Buffalo.
J. B. Day, of New York, in speaking of
the Brotherhood, said the League would
give the players a hearing on Wednesday^
but if they were convinced the organiza
tion would jeopardize the national game,
they would have none of it, and the
Brotherhood wonld get the worst of the
deal.
DON. M. DICKINSON.
Sign* That Indicate Him for the New I'.
M. O.
Washington, November 14.—Those
who assume that Don M. Dickinson, of
Michigan, is to be appointed Postmaster
General base their belief mainly on Mr.
Cleveland's strong likes and admiiatioos.
Mr. Dickinson is one of those who stand
high in the Presidential considera
tion. This friendship has been tried
in the tire, so to speak. In the first
year of the present Administration Mr.
Cleveland appointed to a judgeship in
Utah a Michigan man strongly recommend
ed by Dickinson. It tarned out th»t he was
far short of being the proper man for the
the place, and after the matter had been
thoroughly examined by the Judiciary
Committee ol the Senate, the President
was quietly infarmei that be won Id do
well to withdraw the nomination, tor if he
did not the committee wonld surely re
port unanimously against Dickinson's
man.
It was supposed this incident wonld
loosen the tie that bound the Executive to
the indueutial Micbigander, but the old
intimacy at the White House was soon re
sumed. All of which bas a tende, cy to
strengthen the asseverations of those who
profess to know positively that the Post
master Generalship has been offered to Mr.
Dickinson.
MB. DICKINSON ACCEPTS.
A special to the Chicago DaHy Newt
says: Mr. Don M. Dickinson to-day sent
a fJippatch to the 1'resident saying that he
would accept the postoffice portfolio if the
Senate would unanimously confirm him.
otherwise be would not Senator T. W.
Palmer says be has no doubt that the Sen

ISTHMUS CANAL.
Sen or Annero'i Report—The French Com
pany tn a Bad Plight.
Panama, November 14.—Senor Tanco
Armen), agent of the Colombian Govern
ment. ton the Isthmus respecting canal
affaire, has recently completed his report
on thé canal. Senor Armero commences
by anfing: "I have carefully traveled
over the whole line, have tormed an opin
ion retpecting the work, and am now in
pooocamon of correct data as to the technical
and practical work ol the canal. The an
nual ieportH presented by Connt De Les
aeps to the shareholders are the only offi
cial and reliable documents within the
reach of the public, but whether it be from
the concise terms in which these are
couched, or the fact that they are intended
to inspire the shareholders with
greater confidence, in the canal, they are
partial in their character and are not so
precise as one would desire. Neither, in
my opinion, do they furnish an exact idea
of the situation. On the other hand, the
writings of the pessimists and detractors of
the undertaking are exaggerated in au in
verse sense and worthy of no credit what
ever." He states that to complete the
canal the enormous sum of $508,299,000
will be required. Senor Armero says that
it is absolutely certain that it will be very
diff~n.lt to raise this tremendous sum, and
that it is nseless to deny that the financial
condition of the company is serions, is in
volved and is alarming. In conclusion he
states that after caret'ul investigation he
believes that the traffic through the canal,
should it be completed, would be much
greater than has been estimated.

were present delegations from Vanderfcilt,
Dunbar, Morrell, Wheeler, Bradford, West
Leisenring aud neighboring works.
Secretary Mullen, State Secretary Davis,
President Trimbath, Robert Sweeny and
Lulius 1.}'don, all of the Amalgamated
Association, addressed the meeting.
This is the beginning of a series of meet
ings in the region, the object of which is
to strengthen aud increase the association.
A meeting will be held at Mammoth to
night, at Fairchance on Wednesday, at
Morrell on Thursday and at Leith on Fri
day.
Secretary Mullen is highly gratified with
the outlook of the organization. He says
it is daily increasing in memltership and
effectiveness, and he is of the opinion that
before long it will be the ruling order
among the cokers. Nothing will he done
in regard to the wage question until the
organization is in the best possible condi
tion. The Executive P.oard will probably not
meet again until next month and then to
transact only district business and perfect
arrangements for the annual convention in
January. This will be a highly important
meeting aud some decided actions relative
to the wage question will probable be
tiikeu.

Sheriff lias completed the service of an ex
tra venire l'or 70 jurors, from which to se
lect a jury to try John Arensderf a second
time, fur the murder of I£ev. Geo. C. Had
dock. This is in addition to the regular
panel. The trial is set for Monday, in the
district conrt, Judge Wakefield presiding.
Since the last trial, which ended in a dis
agreement of the jury, the defense has
made strenuous efforts to have the case
dismissed, urging such amotion at length,
only to have it overruled. At present the
indications are that the trial will proceed,
although it is rumored a desperate eftort
will be made to have a continuation
granted. So far a« is known no new evi
dence of importance has Wn developed on
either side.
Opening the Shoe Shop*.
Philadelphia, November 11.—The
shoe manufacturers ol this city endeavored
to break the strikeol the employes, which
has existed for several weeks, by opening
their factories to-day as free shops. No
discrimination being made for or against
applicants for work, because they do not
belong to any organization. None of the
hands, however, put in an appearance at
the shop. As the conditions under which
the shops opened permit the employment
of other than Knight* of Labor, it is
doubtful whether the strikers will accept
the terms. Most of their shop associa
tions will hold a meeting late this after
noon, and determine what is the best
course to pursue.

THE OREAT FIRM OF HATCH 4 CO. GOBS
UNDER.
Caught on the Wrong Side of the Market—
Eventful Career of a Wall Street Magnate
—Three Times Forced to the Wall
—Liabilities a Million.
Nkw Yobk, November 14.—Mr. Hatch
was once once president of the Stock Ex
change, and for a number of years was a
member of the firm of Fisk A Hatch. The
announcement of tbi« failure was made at
the Stock Exchange shortly after ten
o'clock. He was caught short of Heading,
and the boom in that stock forced him to
the wall.
The failure ot A. S. Hatch's Company
was a decided surprise to the street, but
created uo excitement whatever. A. S.
Hatch was one of the most prominent fig
ure« on the Exchauge. This is the third
time Mr. Hatch has been forced to sus
pend. The first time was when the Jay
Cooke crash carried down so many Wall
street firm, and the second was when
Grant & Ward suspended. The partner
ship with Harvey Fish, which had
lasted a quarter of a century,
was dissolved alter the second
failure, and A. S. Hatch formed
a partnership with his sou F. H . under
the title of A 8. Hatch & Co. The firm
did an immense business and was under
stood to have some very large customers.
For some time hack, however, Mr. Hatch
has been operating on the short side of the
maiket, and during the recent rise endeav
ored to depress the market. The stock of
which he was the heaviest seller was Head
ing, and the share advance which has fol
lowed the absorption of almost all the
tloating stock by a great syndicat« was too
much for him. The price of this stock a
short whileago wasô9^,aud he is thought to
have sold some thousauds of sharesaround
that price. The stock advanced steadily
until Saturday, when it closed at 071, and
to-day at the opening it jumped U to «»9,
and before the delivery hour had arrived
it crossed To. It was stated ou the street
that Mr. Hatch had received assistance
trom other dealers and closed all his con
tracts to the exchaugc memliers. He was
in his office after the announcement of the
suspen.-ion and gave out the following:
"I have made an assignment tor the
benefit of my creditors There are uo out
standing contracts of the stock exchange.
1 can give no statement, not even a rough
one of the .assetsand liabilities."
On the street it was estimated that the
firm's liabilities would amount to al>out
$1,(UK),000. One of the prominent features
of A. S. Hatch's character was his fondness
for missionary work. 1 le lonuded the Crc
morue mission and assisted Jerry McAuley
and other evangelists in every way possi
ble.
When the present firm of A. S. Hatch A:
Co. was formed they claimed $130,000 cash
capital, their own money and no debts.
The assignee says he thinks the firm will
he able to pay in full.

Coli'MHI's, O., November II.—The
National Hoard of Arbitration and Concili
ation of Coal Operator« and Minera are in
session here to day with closed doors. They
are considering the demand for au increase
of five cents for mining coal made by the
miners, as promised at the hut meeting of
thin association.
It is understood that the coal operators
of Southern Illinois enter a protest to pay
ing the increase, on the ground that they
are competitors with the Ohio, Pennsylva
nia and Northern Illinois operators. As a
rule the operators in Pennsylvania and the
Hocking Valley favor the increase and
openly say they propose to tight no more
strikes, but the people can rest assured
that the consumers will p&y double the
cost at the mines with freight added.
This mean* another increase in all the
large cities nsing coal Irorn the Ohio and
Pennsylvania mine«. They have a strong
pool with over one hundred thousand dol
lars in the treasury and any operator vio
lating the terms of agreemeut forfeits all
interest in the iffhd.
At a meeting of the joiut Arbitration
Board, of National Federation of Miners
and mine operators, it was decided to pay
five cants advance per ton for miniDg.
The advance is to date from November 1,
188H, and continue to May 1, IH-«.

Sptak trihip and Tax Reduction.
Pittsburg, November 14.—A special to
the (bmnwcial GatftU says: Hon. Wm. S.
Hoi man «ad to a reporter last sight that
there is no donbt bat that Carlisle will be
elected Speaker, aud he does Dot think that
Thoebe's contest will affect his election.
He says the Speaker will probably recog
nize such committees as have lost more
than halt of their old members and that
the other committees will be tilled up with
new men.
In response to a question as to who will
take Morrison's place in the House, be said :
"If the old Committee of Ways and Mean«
is continued Mr. Mills, ol Texas, stands in
the line of direct promotion and the chair
manship will be given to him. If, bow
ever, the committee is reorganized it- may
kq to Sam Cox. Cox and Mills have prac
tically the same views of the tariff ques
tion, and their views are about the same as
those of Carlisl«. As to the leadership of
the Democratic party in the House it is
not imperative that the chairman of the
Ways and Meaus Committee have it The
duties of the committee have changed of
late years. It has been shorn of it« power
by the appropriations being taken awiy
from it and scattered through the other
committee«, and the fact that its chairman
is the leader of its party is a legeud rather
than anecessitr."
"Will the ifouse be able to do anything
a* to the tariffv"
"Yes. I think we will agree on a com
promise tariff bill, and that we can cat
dowu the revenues about $90,000,000. We
ought to take the internal revenue tax off
of chewing and smoking tobacco, which
are the poor man's laxuaries, and ought to
keep it on cigars, cigarettes aud cheroots,
winch are used more especially by the rich.
The removal ot the tax from chewing and
smoking tobacco would reduce the reve
nues about $10,IHK»,000. and we ought to
take thi? tariff Irom such articles as salt,
coal and lumber and radically reduce the
tax on sugar. The doing this would
break up the big monopoly which is now
forming to control the sugar product of the
I nited States, and it would give to the
poor man cheaper food without affecting
any part of the country, except, perhaps, a
few planters in lx>nisiana. I believe in
the radical rednction of the surplus, and
would like to see Treasury in such a con
dition that Congress and the officials in ask
ing for appropriations will have to consid
er where the money is to come Irom which
supplies them."

bo made the moat of by the Irish Horn

have through tbe measures taken by Um
police and military yesterday, been rap
plied with an abundance ot ammunition
for campaign agitation purposes quit« as
effective as though it were genuine, as they
aiwnrce it ia.
I'oesibly something might have been
said about Mr. O'Brien br a few of the

tbe real object ot tbe attempt to oocnay
