The Indiana Prodnet Goea Up TwentyFive Cents. Fpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 28. The first of the expected advances In the price of Indiana coal was made to-day, when the price was marked up 25 cents a ton at the mines on what are called carload lots. The block-coal operators say the adance is due to the Increased demand, shortage in cars and Increased cost at the mine. In the bituminous field no explanation is given. It is a well-understood fact that SO ser cent, of the Indiana coal is sold at a yearly contract price, made when the wage scale Is signed in April. The new price of to-day applies only to those dealer? who have no yearly contracts, but is expected to be felt by the smaller Industries and the domestic consumers. Tennessee Coal Goen Up. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 2S.-It is announced here that all the local coal companies will make an advance of 50 cents a ton on Oct. 1.

Coal operators state that the railroads are not able to handle half the coal for which they have orders, on account of the lack of cars. The same conditions are said to exist in all the coal districts of this section. Anthracite Coal to lie Higher. CHICAGO, Sept. 2$. -Anthracite coal will take another Jump of 23 cents a ton on Oct. 2.

Morton. When the eo.nmisslon first went to WasMngton for the purpose of employing a sculptor, we called upon on- or two of the most eminent and wore told that for less than 15.i they did not care to consider the undertaking. We were recommended to Mr. Niehaus. a younger man with less fame, but who has a good reputation and who-e statues of Garfield and Allen adorn statuary hall. We finally Induced him to mak?s the Morton statue for I think that when the modifications are made the tatue will be a credit to the State of Indiana and not do any discredit In the place it will occupy."

The packers heretofore have scrupulously abstained from invading one another's territory to purchase the growing vegetables, but the pressure now Is so great that the rule has been broken by some canners, who are buying wherever they can find a farmer willing to sell. In this vicinity there are 400 acres of tomatoes, the natural market for which is in Wabash, but Kokomo packers have come In with offers of a liberal advance on current quotations to get the vegetables. So far as known, however, they have made no purchases. MAKES THEM PAY UP. Newport Constable Goen After Delinquent Dote Owners. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEWPORT, Ind., Sept. 28.

COLUMBIA IN DRY DOCK

APPEARS MORE OF A RACER THAN THE SHAMROCK. She Will Do Mensnred on MondayRoles for the Contests Are Adopted. NEW YORK, Sept. 28. The Columbia was docked at the Brooklyn navy yard this afternoon. She will probably remain there until Mondaj. the day preceding the first of the series of races for the-America's cup, during which period every art known to the builder, rigger and sailmaker will be employed in getting the craft in the best trim for the contest. The contrast between the lines of the Shamrock and the Columbia is very marked. In the former one can see a big bulky craft dependent upon a greater spread of canvas for superiority in speed, while the latter has the thoroughbred appearance which goes with finer lines and more slender hull. The Columbia was viewed from' all sides by admiring hundreds, most of v '.om had also seen the. Shamrock In the dry dock, and ninety-nine- out of every hundred were of the opinion that the American boat was far more a racer in looks than the Irish challenger. Even the Scotch yacht writers sent across to report the races admitted that the Columbia was the better looking of the two but they hope for heavy breeze?, so that the Shamrock can make her best showing. When the keel touched on the blocks they were at a depth of twenty feet and a few inches in water. When the water had receder, so far that the, Columbia's hull below the water line was exposed to view. It vas seen that the action of the water had corroded the breast plates so that she appeared to be painted green. The bilge plates were remarkably bright, however, showing what friction will do when the vessel is under sail. The crew was set at work scrubbing the hull with brooms and brushes but it was of little effect in removing the corrosion. A solution of acid and water waa tried in one spot and worked very effectively. The hull was as smooth as gla?, despite the coating of green. Electric burnishers will be set to work to-morrow so that when the Columbia goes out of the dry dock her under body will glisten like gold. The white topsldes were sandpapered, and a fresh coat of paint will bo put on. The lead Is thickest and depest well forward on the keel, as to be directly under the center of effort, while on the Shamrock the lead is beamiest amidshlp. The American boat Is cut away forward much more than the Irish cutter, and has a longer overhang aft. The former's lead keel Is about feven feet shorter at the bottom than the latter's, which acounts for her superior quickness In stays. The bilge plates of the Columbia do not look as smooth as. the Shamrock's, but the rest of the hull is as good a piece of workmanship as the latter. John Hystop, official measurer of the New York Yacht Club visited the yard this afternoon and arranged with Mr. Iselin to put the tape on the Columbia next Monday. He declined to express an opinion on either the Irish or the American yacht. Captain Philip Elsworth, who designed the Atlantic, saw the Columbia. He said he believed the Columbia would defeat the Shamrock but thought the Irish craft would prove as good as the American, every point except in windward work. Said he, "build a boat with a hull like theColumbla's, put on a keel like the old America's, cut down sail and I bet she would defeat the Columbia hands down." RULES FOR THE RACES Adopted by Hie Yachting Committees nt New York. NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-At a joint meeting of the committee of the New York Yacht Club on challenge of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, with the committees of that club,' the conditions", for the sailing of the races, made Sept. 6, 1808, were modified to read as follows: "First As to signals. A preparatory signal shall be given fifteen minutes before the starting signal, and a warning signal five minutes before the starting signal. In case of a change in the time of starting the same signal shall be used. The change is in the addition of the warning gun and the provision that in case of a change in the time of starting the same signal shall be used. "Second The provision that If a race Is not started by 12:30 p. m., the regatta committee shall have the right, to declare the race postponed for the day and that no race shall be started after 3 p. m., was changed to provide that no race shall be fctarted after 12:30 p. m. "Third The provision for the presence on board during the races of a representative ramed by a competitor was changed by adding that a representative . of the competing yachts should be present during all measurements." Sir Thomas J. Lipton and Mr. C. Oliver Iselin also signed the following conditions to the original agreement: "Inasmuch as we are of the opinion that the America's cup races are no less a test cf the strength of construction of the competing vessels, than of their sailing qualities, and It is deemed advisable to avoid the embarrassment In which a vessel finds itself when called upon to decide whether to withdraw from a race upon the occurance of an accident disabling her competitor, it is agreed that in the races between the Shamrock and the Columbia each yacht phall stand by the consequences of any accident happening to her and that the uninjured vessel shall sail out the race." On the subject of overcrowding by excursion steamers the joint committee agreed upon the following: "In case either contestant shall complain to the committee on challenge that his vessel has been interfered with by excursion rteamers or other vessels in any race, the committee will take the complaint into consideration and if it finds it well founded, will seek a conference with the, committee of the Royai "5yicht Club with a view of arranging for the .'sailing of subsequent races without public notice." The Rules Are Approved. WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Assistant Secretary Spauldlng has approved the rules and regulations for the government of the course during tha coming yacht races, which were submitted by the regatta committee of the New York Yacht Club. There are nine rules providing for the position of the patrol fleet in every possible contingency and Insuring a clear course. A clear space of half a mile about the starting line will be maintained until the race has starterd. After crossing the line the torpedo fleet will form a column and stand on a course parallel with the yachts. The revenue cutters will form a line astern. This formation will insure a clear space one mile wide astern of and to windward of the competing yachts. Provision is made for maintaining this space under any conditions.. Elaborate rules are laid down for the triangular races. On the run-in all vessels will be kept from crossing the sailing line. Violation of these rules will incur the same penalty as violation of the navigation laws of the United States. OfTendng vessels will be brought to with a shot and sent back to New York In charge of revenue officer. DEMANDS REFUSED. Street-RuUway Employes Not Granted the Concessions Asked. CINCINNATI, O.. Sept 28.

SHAW DENOUNCES ROE

ANOTHER BITTER SPEECH AT THE KANSAS G. A. R. REUNION. The Commander-ln-Chlcf Would Let the "Bnttleless 3Injor General Stew in His Own Juice." TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 2$. General Shaw, national commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., in prefacing his address to the veterans at the State reunion to-day, spoke of the now famous controversy of the G. A. R. with the Dewey parade managers. He characterized those having the big parade In charge as "narrow-minded blunderers, clothed with a little brief authority." He then reviewed the whole trouble. "Had a soldier of deeds," he declared, "been in the place of General Roe, the Grand Army would have marched in glory and Joy at the head of the line, following the great admiral, where, beyond question, their place should be." Again he said: "Let this battleless Major General Roe stew In his own juice, in view of his repeated declaration: 'I'll take the whole responsibility in refusing the Grand Army the right of parade.' I am perfectly willing he should." General Shaw said that soon Admiral Dewey would be invited to visit the thirtyfourth National Encampment, to be held in Chicago In IfCO, where the veteran survivors would express their admiration for him In their own way and unhampered. The veteian3 adopted the following: "Resolved, That the action of our commander-in-chief, Albert D. Shaw, and of the department commander, Joseph W. Kay, of New York, In refusing to accept a place for the Grand Army in the rear of the procession, a rosition never willingly occupied by the defenders of old glory in any line, meets with our unqualified approval. We, the comrades of Kansas, always lead the line in every patriotic demonstration illustrative of American valor, and we hope that on no similar occasion in any department of tho Nation will the Grand Army of the Republic be assJgned to any other than the post of honor: and be it further "Resolved. That the patriotic action of Governor Roosevelt, of New York, in promptly supporting the action of our com-mander-ln-crief In demanding proper recognition of the Grand Army of the Republic encVars him to every true comrade of this Nation and exemplifies the sterling manhood of the 'Rough Rider who led the line to victory up San Juan hill, and In whose breast beats a warm heart for the veterans of '61 and '65." Military Snrgconi. KANSAS CITY, Sept. 28. Fifty military surgeons of this and other countries gathered at the Coates House to-day at the first formal session of the annual meeting of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States. Little was accomplished except to organize and hear reports of old committees and appoint new ones. Dr. Jefferson Griffith, of Kansas city, read an address in which he suggested many reforms, among them that the medical department should be represented in the Cabinet of the government. Maj. George H. Tofney of the United States army, detailed his experiences on the hospital ship Relief during the hostilities in Cuba and Porto Rico. Col. Charles It. Alden, assistant surgeon general of the United States army, presented to the association a com. plete list of the volunteer medical officers who served In the Spanish-American war.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28. A committee of one hundred citizens has subscribed sufficient money to defray the expenses of a band to head the civil war veterans in the laid parade. This organization will be headed by General Howard, and its ranks will be open to any credited veteran. Gen. Howard announces that over 1,000 men will be In line. General Howard said that Commander-in-chief Kay has exceeded his authority and declares that Grand Army men shall not march In the parade. General Howard said: "Kay is not over me, but if he were I would consider that his order that G. A. R. men should not march as individuals in the parade counted for little, as he entirely exceeded his authority in issuing it. General Roe has assigned us a plase for 1,200 men in the parade and I have sent him a list of organizations which are to fill the space." Army of West Virginia. JACKSON, O., Sept. 28. All trains arriving in the city to-day were loaded with visitors to attend the reunion of the Society of the Army of West Virginia, and not In years has there been such a crowd.

The order of exercises consisted entirely of extemporaneous speeches and music. A choir of Jittle girls dressed in stars and stripes, representing the States, entertained the assemblage with declama tlons and music. The meeting adjourned una! atternoon. -vhen Hon. George K. Nash, Republican candidate for Governor, was the principal speaker. FUGITIVE RAILROAD MEN. They Escape from Mexico After Fatal Accidents. EL PASO, Tex., Sept. 28. Conductor Coffey and Engineer Martin; of the Mexican Central Railroad, have just reached here after a quick trip from Cuatitlan, Mexico, near Mexico City, where their train telescoped a freight in front of them and killed an American cattleman who was riding In the caboose. The trainmen hurried away immediately to avoid arrest. Two American engineers from the Mexico & Vera Cruz road came in last night locked up in a Pullman by their friends. Their train collided In the suburbs of Mexico City with a street car filled with society people returning home from the opera, killing seven persons and wounding several others. One of the engineers was riding in the cab when the accident happened and considered It best not to remain behind. The Mexican fireman was arrested and the conductor is still hiding In the interior. The trainmen give a vivid account of their escape from the Mexican officers, who pursued them closely. Had it not been for the master mechanic at Toluca, who fired up an engine and conveyed them for many miles northward, they would have been captured. Verdict Agulnst n Lyncher. ATHENS. Tex.. Sept. 2S.

NEWS OF DREYFUS CASE EXPERIENCES OF THE ARMY OF COItRESPONDEXTS AT RENNES. Hw Well-Laid Plans to Rvih the Xevrs of the Verdict to the Telegraph Ofilce Completely Failed. II. R. C, In New York Sun. It Is not often that the professional side of a newspaper correspondent's work becomes a matter of public interest, but perhaps this unique experience here at Rennes is entitled, to rank as an exception. No previous event In the world's history has .called together a corps cf chroniclers so representative in Its scope. None, it should be remembered, came by Invitation, as at the coronation of the Czar or the crowning of the little Queen of Holland. Even the Queen's Jubilee in London failed to draw such en international gathering of journalistic clans. Papers In Japan and even in Turkey sent correspondents to tell this story at Rennes. A paper which I had never heard of in Norway spent $100 a day to give its readers an account of the trial, and a single journal in Vienna expended more than $20,000 in telegraph tolls at "urgent" rates during the five weeks. Every disposition to facilitate the work of the correspondents was shown by the authorities. We learned after a few days that each one of us had been quietly photographed and full descriptions, with all that could be learned of our antecedents, had been sent to Paris in a special dossier by the omnipresent "agents of the state;" but nobody could object to this harmless and flattering attention. Neither could we And any fault with the assignment of places In the trial hall which relegated the foreign correspondents to the seats most distant from the stage, where the testimony of many witnesses was inaudible. After all, the case to be heard was primarily a domestic French affair, and I doubt if in any other country on earth the same consideration would have been shown to foreign newspaper men, whose presence the great majority. of Frenchmen regarded as an intrusion. I explained in one of my earlier despatches to The Sun that each foreign correspondent received half a ticket to the Lycee. This was an Immense concession from Colonel Jouaust's first dictum, which was: "Assign one ticket to each group of ten. That will enable each man to attend one sesplon in ten, and it will be quite enough for him." Fortunately the French military idea of Journalistic needs did not prevail, and the committee of the "Presse Judlciare" was able to induce the doughty president to take a more liberal view ot the situation. Even the half ticket regulation was modified to aome extent, and each morning admission was granted to a many of tne banished moiety of foreign correspondents as there remained empty seats after the ticket holders had entered. Finally the difficulty In hearing the evidence was partially overcome by securing reports of the testimony sheet by sheet from French reporters near the wltnesd stand, and thus the actual proceed ings In the courtroom were prepared for readers abroad. The authorities of Rennes provided also a great hall, with a special telegraph office, for the use of visiting correspondents. The Bourse du Commerce was transformed into a vast editorial room. One hundred and fifty .writing tables, nailed to the floor to prevent noise and confusion; comfortable chairs, pens, ink and paper and courteous attendants were all at the disposal of French and foreign writers during the five . A CONTINUOUS DIFFICULTY. The problem of quick communication with the outside world was an ever-present difficulty from the first day of the trial until the last. There were available six telegraph and four telephone wires from Rennes to Paris, two wires to Brest, the landing place of the French Cable Company's lines to America, and one wire to Havre, where the Commercial Company's cables touch. The best apparatus and most skillful operators in France were assembled at Rennes for the tremendoua task of conveying the news of the trial to the four quarters of the world. Considering the facilities available, the result was probably the best accomplishment in telegraphy in this or any other country. On the first day more than 600.000 words were transmitted by telegraph alone. This quantity was exceeded on the day Laborl was shot, and on other days it varied between the maximum and a minimum of S50.0U0 words. It would be unfair, perhaps, to criticise the quality of the work In view of its overwhelming quantity. An operator who sends at highest speed long messages in any of halt a dozen languages which he does not understand can hardly be blamed if the dispatches fail to arrive letter perfect at their destination. I confess I groaned in anguish of spirit when copies of the Sun reached Rennes containing my dispatches sent during the early days of the trial. There was great improvement later the French operator would probably be unkind enough to say this was due solely to ray painstaking attempts to write a legible hand. When it is considered, however, that nearly one-half the matter sent over the wires from Rennes was written In English, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish or Swedish, it must be admitted that the accomplishment of the Rennes telegraph corps was something stupendous. There were some amusing Incidents In connection with the sending of the news of the trial, and one or two will bear repeating. The correspondent of a Ixmdon evening paper rushed to the telegraph office on the afternoon of the day Labor! was shot and handed in a dispatch of about nine hundred words. All correspondents had deposited in advance ample funds to cover the cost of telegrams in order to avoid the delay of frequent payments. The receiver, therefore, accepted the dispatch with the customary "Merci. Monsieur." The sender happened to wait for a moment, and presently saw the telegraph clerk pick up his message, cross the room, climb on a chair and carefully placo the dispatch on top cf a cabinet. The man returned to his seat, received a few tnore telegrams from the persons waiting at the window, checked them, gave them to a messenger to take to the operating room, got up again and carried a heavy ledger over to the cabinet and deposited- it on top of the London man's dispatch. The correspondent was mystified, but did not inter fere until the clerk had received a few more telegrams and had carried a few more xaixcellontoua articles across the roo a&4

"Your dispatch has been sent, monsieur, was the calm reply. No, It hasn't. It's over there on top cf that cabinet," insisted the correspondent. The clerk looked at him as If ne thought he had been bereft of his senses. "Nothing of the kind. I srot your dispatch to the operating room as soon ts you handed It to me," was the polite but firm reply. - The Englishman began to get angry, ami in rather peremptory tones asked the clerk to verify his word by examining the top of the cabinet. The clerk was eure by this time that hli interlocutor was crazy. He muttered something about "these English" and sharply at-ked the insistent disturber to stand aside and not block the line at the window. The enraged Journalist hurried off, found a French confrere of influence, to whom he explained the situation. Together they returned to the telesreph office and sent for the chief. The case whs laid before him. He went to the ctblnet, lifted down a heap of things on tor', and there at. the bottom of all lay the dispatch. Then, naturally, the Londoner began to say things, but the chief interrupted hlra. "Now, he reasonable, you mustn't fcs angry with th!s poor fellow. Have a little cor.sldcntion of the circumstances. He has been in tears all day ever sirce he heard Laborl had been shot, lie doesn't know what he is doing. Really it isn't fair for jou to be cros with him.M And what could the correspondent after that explanation? PLANNING FOR SPEED. How to communicate the news of thD court-martlal's verdict most expeditiously to the waiting world has, of course, been the problem uppermost In every correspondent's mind for days past. Many schemes were devised for securing a fer seconds' precedence, and some of them wera sufficiently ingenious to deserve succcrs. but in the end pure chance proved to be the controlling factor. This applies tc the Cispatches announcing the Judgment filed by the correspondents here after the decision had been announced in court by Colcr.'i Jouaust. These telegrams poured Into ths Rennes telegraph office in a perfect avalanche and, as usually happens in times c? such excitement, the order of dispatch!::-; did not follow the exact order of recelr-t. In fact, the last was sometimes first. Thoca of us who have had experience of ti.ir confusion at presidential elections at Versailles and other occasions had prepared for this emergency. We wrote our dispatches In duplicate, filed one at the earliest possible moment and waited to slip thD other into the distracted clerk's hand at C:3 moment when he handed over the swell!::-: pile of telegrams for transmission. Tho chances were that the top or last mtzzz-o would be sent first. It la probable, despite all the rush tt Rennes, that the first news of the vcrc".: reached New York via London. Some of U3 learned yesterday morning that the decir'.en would be telephoned to the Home Odce in Paris a few minutes before it was putliclr announced In the courtroom at Rennes. A3 a matter of fact at the moment when its decisive words were being read to the assembled audience in the Lycee the nev3 had been received at the London oClce cZ the Sun by telephone from its Paris correspondent in the prime minister's oKlce arl had been transferred to the cable, whlci delivered it in New York three minuter later. The fate of two plans of rival Araerlc-n correspondents for beating their fellows deserves to be recorded. They were not ratified with conveying the news from tha courtroom to the telegraph office, a distance of less than a quarter of a mile, by foot c? bicycle, so they arranged systems of r:7nals. In one case a series of boys stationed at intervals along the route was to rrrs along the signal of "guilty by holdlr.-j th right hand high In the air. while both tszr in that position would signify innocect." The boys were carefully drilled and t system worked perfectly until the fivrl moment came. Then the first boy cave t signal properly, but the second lost l.'.i head. Instead of raising his hand he clrr" 1 both arms to his sides and started pell is.z'A for the telegraph office. His employer tzxs him coming and ran to meet him. ur.-1: ? to imagine what had happened. The tzy simply flung himself into the newip.-!;;:r man's arms. Too much excited himzslf Id think of any French, the correspond.-. t shook his little wretch and shouted in I English: "What is it?" Then the boy bethought himself. Up rrcrv his right hand high in the air. 'CoupaMe," he yelped, and trotted with his arm stlil o behind his employer the rest of the wr' to the telegraph office. The other Incident was no less tragic. Another series of boys was to wave red discs 12 the verdict was guilty, blue one, for tho four-to-three verdict of dishonorable acquittal and white for Innocent.
