Justice Field of th« Supreme Coart Having iW Beaten Chief Justice Marshall's Hecord Will Iteslga.

Washington, Oct. 13.—The subject of greatest immediate interest and the one which will consume most of the time and attention of the approaching session of congress is the annexation of Hawaii.

Cuba will probably take a secondary place and the monetary question will trail along third, and will be so far behind that nothing

There appears to be no serious reason to doubi.that the annexation treaty will.be ratified. There will be a fight and there will be a large and active lobby, but.afterthe speeches have been made and the lobbyists have lobbied, the votes will be there and annexation will be a fact. The little island far off in the Pacific will be a part of th*e United States.

And then, they do say, there will be more —and more important—legislation relative to Hawaii. The matter of a cable franchise will have to be settled, and some people will be powerfully interested in that cable.

Next to the control of the sugar industries on bhe island this securing of a cable station appears to be the most important commercial aspect of the case. And in view of the fact that Great Britain is at preseqt negotiating for the lease or purchase of one of the islands in the vicinity for the same purpose, it also has a political and diplomatic side.

kin«, waLa.1

pose the ratification of the Hawa/.an annexation treaty for the reason that American control of the island will interfere with the monopoly which he now enjoys. It has been hinted here that some understanding might be reached by which his present commercial arrangements should not be interfered with, in which case his opposition would be withdrawn but this does not appear likely.

Aside from the commercia! reasons urged in favor of the annexation of Hawaii there are certain weigh reasons of national policy. Lorrin A. Thursion, for/neily minister to the island, says on this score: "Annexation will prevent tlie establishment of an alien and possibly hostile stronghold in a position commandiLg the Pacific coast and the commerce of the North Pacific, and finally and definitely secure to the United States the strategical control of the North Pacific, thereby protecting its Pacific coast and commerce from attack."

Mr. Thurston then goes on to show how no other nation has a coaling station- near enough to be a base of operations against this country, and the width of the Pacific prevents steamships crossing without stopping here for recoallng.

The prospective completion of the 'Nicaragua or Panama canal adds importance, to the question, as all ships bound for Asia, going through the canal, would stop at the Hawaiian islands on their way!

JUSTICE FIELD TO RETIRE.

He Has Eclipsed the Record of Chief Justice Marshall.

Washington, Oct. 13.—Justice Stephen J. Field of the United States Supreme Court, it is believed by many of his friends,, will announce his retirement from the Supreme Court bench some time during the present term, though he himself would say nothing about the matter for publication when newspaper men called at his residence today. It has been his ambition to eclipse the record of Chief Justice Marshall for length of •ervice on the Supreme Court bench and in this ambition he was successful during the past summer. He was appointed in 1863 to his present position and being now nearly Bl years old has been eligible for retirement on full pay for nearly eleven years. He has been in feeble health for several year's, but has continued in service, though for some time past his attendance has been rather Irregular and he has not taken as active a part as formerly in the preparation of opin-

An Associated Press reporter called at Justice Field's residence today, but' fhe justice excused himself, sending down word that he was not feeling well today. Mrs. Field would neither confirm nor deny reports of her husband's impending retirement, though giving the impression that it was at least under serious advisement. At the Supreme Court it was said that nothing was known there an the subject and that *ny announcement must come from Justice Field himself. That members of the court believe the justice will decide to make way for a younger and more active man is shown by the fact that they have postponed hearing several important decisions until the beginning of the new year, by which time it is thought quite likely Justice Field .nay have retired and his successor be in offi?e, though of course it is possible that the justice may in the end decide to remain in office, a decision he reached several times In the past when his retirement was contemplated by himself.

GROWTH OF GOLD RESERVE.

Demand for Small Notes Causing Heavy Deposits of Yellow Coin.

"Washington, Oct. 13.—Treasury officials fegard it as probable that the gold reserve will touch $160,000,000 by the end of the present crop season and before the demand for small notes comes to an end. It is the

Jemand foV small notes in th South and 1 ft'eet whicih has brought the gold up to its oresent high figure, $149,134,027. The New

York banks have a considerable fund cf United States notes locked up in the treaslry, against which they ho'd currency c^r-

ificJtes, which may be availed of in c*sei

certificates is now $51,200,000. which is ibout $12,000,000 less than at the close of August. Some of the banks have been' Jrawing upon this fund in New York, but others in the South and West have preferred to offer large notes at the sub-treas-ury counters or to direct the payment of told by their New York reserve agents in txchange for currency shipments directly from the treasury to them. Treasury officials would feel no inclination to restrict tbe deposit of gold in exchange for paper If it were not for the somewhat narrow toargln upon which they are working.

The net cash balance Saturday was 121?,111,416. The deduction of the gold reserve

left oily about $64,500,000 in other forms of currency. Of this" amount 543,486,152 is in United States notes, which are mostly in large denominations, and Are needed in this form for clearing house settlement and other purposes. Some of these will be converted into small notes if the pressure for such currency becomes intense. The margin of free silver against which certificates oan be issued stands at about $3,000,000.

The deficit thus far during October has been $3,424,972, and the deficit for the fiscal year has been $32,440,927. The deficit at the end of the mdnth will probably be about $35,000,000, bu it will probably not increase -so rapidly during Novemer and December.

The total receipts of the government since July 1st have been $87,506,844, of which $34,851,710 has been from customs, $47,723,526 from internal revenue and $4 931,608 from miscellaueous sources. Of the customs receipts, $15,457,610 were collected during •.he Qrsf twenty-six days of July, and were derived almost wholly from the duties levied under the Wilson law. The remaining $19,400,000 has been collected during the eleven weeks of the operation of the Dingley law. Of the internal revenue receipts, on the other hand, only $17,035,523 was collected up to July 26th, and $30,500,000 has been collected during the last eleven weeks.

The total expenditures of the government during the fiscal year have been $119,947,'771, of which $43,172,833 has Been for pensions, $12,297,343 for interest on the public debt, $30,497,517 for civil and miscellaneous purposes, $22,243,633 for the war department, $9,129,754 for the navy, and $2,606,692 for Indians.

EUROPEAN CROP SITUATION.

Monthly Report? of the Agricultural Department. ... 'X AlliH -Washington,: ,Oat. —The monthly report of the a&Vicultufal department on the European qkoq (Situation summarizing the reports of European correspondents to Statistician Hyd$ Was made public today. Following is ari^abstracti Recent information, while it may 'in some cases modify the crop estimates for particular countries, does not essentially change the situation as regards the deficiency in the principal cereal crops of Europe. The outlook for wheat in the Australian colonies continues good, but .the prospects in Argentine are somewhat less bright, owing to drought and frosts. Accounts. from India are quite favorable.

Th .annual estimate of the world's wheat and rye crops issued by the Hungarian .ministry of agriculture gives the following:

Total wheat production of both importing countries in 1897, 2,142,577,000 in 1896, 2,339,541,000 bushels net deficit in 1897, 202.895,000 bushels in' 1896, 130,534,000 bushels.

The world's rye crop is put down as follows:, 1897, :,163.457,000 bushels 1896, 1,203,185,000 bushels.

Against the net deficit of approximately-' 203,000,000 bushels of wheat estimated by the ministry they estimate that there is a residleu of from 145,000,000 to 170,000,000 busliels out of the former crops, leaving in round numbers from 58,000,000 down to 83,000,000 bushels as the quantity by which it would be necessary to curtail consumption if these estimates should prove to be correct. Notwithstanding the liberal quantities of Russian grain coming forward for shipment there is evidence tending to show that the crop of 1897 is considerably below IJie average. The markets of Europe will apparently be very inadequately supplied with'good, clear barley suitable for malting purposes, complaints on this score beim common among growers in large parts of Germany and also Hungary and other countries, including the province of Ontario.

The European potato crop apparently a Short one, and the fruit crop also is deficient.

Travelers Murdered In Colombia. Washington, Oct. 13.—The department o.f state has been informed by Consul Plumach er, at Maraicaibo, that Professor Leopold Stern,- an optician of New York, has been murdered and robbed near Tovar. Mr. PJiimacher says that seven peaceful trav olers have already been murdered in that section of* Colombia, yet none of the bandits have been brought to justice.

ABYSSINIANS ANNIHILATED.

An Army of 3,000 Overwhelmed by the Somalia. .' London, Oct. 13.—Bennett Stanford, who has jijst returned from taking part in an expedition to Sonialiland, brings news of the annihilation, at the end of June, of the Abyssinian army of 3,000 men under the control of tbe famous General Ras Mackonnin, of which number only sixty-nine men escaped. Mr. Stanford said: "While in the interior we came across a powerful Somali chief who had just returned from the fight. He told me that the Abyssinian force had been raiding down tha Webbe Shebeyli .. river nearly as far as the 45th parallel. The

Ions. Now that he has passed Chief Justice Somalis then overwhelmed them with large Marshall record he has retirement under numbers, allowing sixty men to go back with lerious consideration, and it is thought that in announcement will be made before long that he has taken this course. Attorney General McKenna is regarded as being almost certain to succeed Justice Field. Both come from California.

the news of the defeat. Ras Mackonnin was killed during the battle. The affair occurred about 100 miles from where we were. The whole neighborhood is still greatly excited and the possession of so many Italian rifles by the Somalis is evidence that the story told of the Abyssinian defeat is true. The latest news from Harrar was that an Abyssinian army was being despatched against the Somalis, who are eagerly anticipating another fight."

In regard to the reported massacre of the Cavendish'1 expedition, Mr. Stanford said: "There- are no expeditions in Somaliland to massacre, Peel, who was with mp. is away, to. the south.

TAttART'S'THE BHOV

fAfPSABS TO HAVE BEEN BUT- LITTLE POLITICS.

Stories of Scandals, Sprnug at Eleventh Hour, Did Taggart Scant Injury. tz

Special to the Express.

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 12.—The result of the municipal election is so emphatic that

it did not take long to determine it after

the count began. Thomas' Taggart, Democrat, is re-elected toy a majority of between

4,000 and 5,000, the largest ever given a

mayor of Indianapolis. McKinley's pluralin the city was 6,744. The Republicans

lost partly by stay-at-homes and partly by Republican votes for Taggart. The "tabs"

kept by their poll-book holders showed their

vote about 30 per cent short when the polls closed, but the count of the votes showed

that large numbers of those hustled to tlie polls by Republican workers voted for Tag­

gart. Mr. Taggart's gains were heaviest in

the Republican strongholds on the north side, and the only Republican gains were in the Fifteenth ward, known as the Democratic Gibraltar. The whole Democratic ticket and a large majority of the Democratic nominees for the council are elected by pluralities somewhat smaller than thkt of Taggart.

The election closing one of the most bitter campaigns that has ever been fought in this city passed off practically without an incident. The weather was perfect and the conditions seemed favorable for a heavy vote, hut it did not come out. It has been a somewhat remarkable campaign. Thomas Taggart, the successful Democratic nominee, has been one of the most prominent figures in Indianapolis for a number of years, having twicfe been the chairman of the Democratic. state committee. He. was for gold before the Chicago convention, but remained

with the organization. The more radical silver men opposed his nomination and severalof the leaders have opposed his election. He has great personal popularity and a great following outside of his party. The gold Democrats supported him with a' separate organization. The Republican' candidate, W. N. Harding, is a lawyer of good ability and has had much to do with local politics. The campaign was given a picturesque feature by the candidacy of C. F. Smith, the millionaire bicycle manufacturer, who announced himself as an independent candidate and published a paper in his own interests. The Populists, Prohibitionists and Socialists also had tickets in the field.

During the past two weeks the fight his. been so warm tjetween the .t\yo leading can .didates that, little attention has been paid-io the other tickets. The character of the cam paign has been purely upon local issues consisting of attacks upon various features of Mayor Taggart's administration, and dur. ing the fight two scandals have developed that caused the mayor to demand the resig nation of the chief of police and one of the park commissioners, Sterling R. Holt, the latter his most intimate friend.

Repubiicans Elect Four Council men. (By_ Associated Press.1) Indianapolis, Oct. 12.—Thomas Taggart Democrat, defeated W. N. Harding, Repftb

lican, for mayor by a plurality that will

reach 5,000. The Republicans gave up the

fight early in the evening, conceding a Dem ocratic victory of from 3,000 to 5,0J0. At 11 o'clock 120 precincts out of a total of 195 gave Taggart a plurality of 3,100. If irhis ratio keeps up the official count wiB pJiow a, clear plurality for Mayor Taggart ol 5,000 The rest of the ticket, including six co»incilmen at large, is elected by from 3!50O to 4,000.

Of the ward councilmen the Republicans will elect probably not more than four out of fifteen.

Mayor Taggart was deluged with telegrams tonight from all over the country, He is freely spoken of a3 the next Democratic candidate for governor.

New York, Oct. 12.—The World says: At midnight last night a movement was on foot to place Charles W. Dayton, former pastmaster, on the ticket of the Citizens'. Union for comptroller in place of Charles S. Fairchild and on the ticket of the Jeffersooian Democracy in place of Colonel George E. Waring. While Mr. Dayton declared that he could not accept a place on the Henry George ticket, it is thought likely that if it becomes plain that he will prove a unifying force and is nominated by the Citizens' Uaion he will be willing to replace Colonel Waring on the ticket.

Colonel Warins "K^spectfally Declines.' New York, Oct. 12.—Colonel George E. Waring, street cleaning commissioner, has declined the nomination of the Jefferson (Henry George) Democracy for controller.

Now the Socialists Take Hand. New York, Oct. 12.—Lucien Saniel, the Socialist Labor candidate, for the office of mayor, opened his campaign at Cooper Union tonight. He attracted a bigger meeting than that which ratified the nomination, of General Tracy, as big as that of,Seth Low last Thursday night and almost as large as the one which nominated Henry George Mr. Saniel is a Frenchman, who writes ^soine cutting things in English, but his oratory is not effective because he has not mastered the pronunciation of the language he writes so well. The platform was decorated ."with red flags. The people gave expression to their displeasure by hissing the mentitfh of the name of capitalists. Saniel bitterlj assailed the other candidates for mayor.

The Democrats elected six out £f eight aldermen.

IN THE MINING CAMPS

THERE IS MUCH ACTIVITY AMONG THE COAL, DIGGERS NOW.

One Company in Indiana Is Paring a Bonus of 4 Ceuts a Ton to Get M6n—No Famine Possible.

There is more activity in the mining camps of Indiana now than at any previous time for a good while.

All the companies are getting about as many orders as they can fill and some of them are so hard pressed to keep up with the demand that they are mak ng extraordinary efforts to get men.

One company in this state is paying 4 cents a ton bonus in order to attract miners into its pits^ It does not state that it is paying 60 cents a ton, the price demanded when the ten weeks' strike was inaugurated, but that it is paying 56 cents a ton, the price generally prevailing in the state, with an additional 4 cents a ton for a token of their generous sentiments toward their employes.

In the Grape Creek and Danville field all the mines are at work at the scale and th£ operators are calling for more men. Just how long the present lively demand will last is subject for conjecture. It is due, of course, to the effect of the strike and is not expected to last always. The miners think there will be a healthy demand for coal until the early spring and they expect to have a definite arrangement with tht operators before that time.

There is some talk of a coal famine up north. "There may be a local famine," said Mr. Knight, president of the Indiana miners, to a reporter for The Express. "Such a thing as a general famine is impossible. Tha production of coal is so large in this country at present that it cannot be overreached by the consumption. Years ago before the mines were so generally opened up as they are now famines were possible. At'that time the production of coal during the winter months was not equal to its consumption during those months. The cousequence was that a supply had to be accumulated during the summer when domestic consumption was at a minimum. If anything happened to curtail that supply a famine was sure to occur in the winter. Now so much coal is mined that it is no: necessary to hoard it in the summer time. The current production more than equals the current consumption. If a famine takes place in certain places up north the fact will be due to snow blockades, and not to an overtaxed supply of coal."

At no time for a number of years have the coal miners of the country been in such good spirits as they are today. Their recent strike'has turned out so well—so much more satisfactorily than they really hoped—that ,they feel th£ power is not all gone out of their organization and that they are not entirely at the mercy of conditions. They now realize that they can affect not only the interests of their employers but the fund- I arnental facts upon which depends any prosperity that can ever come to the mining industry.

A Fearful Experience

A POSTMASTER LOSES THE USE OF HIS LE6S AND ARMS. Edwin R. Tripp, of Nliddlefield Center, Meets with a Hazardous Encounter Which Renders t\ Him Helpless.

F^rorn OUego Republican, Coapcrttown, If. T.

Mr. Edwin R. Tripp, the postmaster at Middlefield Center, Y., recently had a dangerous experience which left him iu a helpless state. His system was so much shattered that it was feared he might never recover.

In an interview with a reporter of the Republican, regarding this experience which had attracted considerable attention, Mr. Tripp stated:

In March, 1892, I was taken with what I afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and was unable to walk," and I kept pcttine worse until I lost the use of my arms, doctored with two skillfhl doctors but received no benefit, and also used a galvanic battery but kept getting worse and the doctors told me they could do no more. This waa*in May and June, 1892. I gave up all hope of ever h&Ving the use of my limbs again, and did not expect to live very long. I was unable to dress or undress myself, and could not get around the house unless 1 was moved in aVliair. "I think i? was in June that I read of the case of a man in Samtoga:Co., N.

I was a member ot the Town Board that summer and had to be carried and put iaio a wagon to go to the meetings, and in fact was helpless, as my neighbors kuow. In August I could walk around the house by pushing a chair. I kept getting better and managed to move around more, until at election tima that year, I walked with a canc to the polls, a short distance from my home. I continued to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pala People until 1 had taken eighteen boxes. I could then grt around, and to-day walk to the post office and back, a distance of one« quarter of a mile, three times a day, and attend to my duties as postmaster.

In the spring of 1893 I was elected town clcrk, which office I held for three years, 1 had previously been a justice of the peaca for tnirty-two*ye ir8.
