Yelloy journalism is content to let. the Union Pacific Railroad matter drop.

Editor Bishop of Clinton is a retiring postmaster that does not lraow how to take his medicine without making faces.

It is probably true that Grover Cleveland made himself, but it is a well. known fact that he unmade the Democratic party.

Evey Republican in Greater New York should vote straight and hard today against Seth Low and his fellow Mugwump Democrats. .S:

The Hon. Bourke Cockran still realizes that tho party of sound principles is the one he eo ably championed in tbe campaign of 1896.

General Weyler says that such praise as comes to him is "for his policy and not for himself." Is it possible that Weyler is worse than his policy?

There are appearances justifying belief that when Carter Harrison gets back to Chicago he will feel like a man that has got in out of the wet.

Whatever may happen in Greater New York today, it is gratifying to know that the Republican party has fought a good fight and kept the faith.

It is a great pity that Seth Low will not be able to crawl out of his grave and write his own obituary- Nobody else can hope to do justice to his goodness.

No confidence is violated by stating that there are points where Grover Cleveland's boy will do well to digress pretty sharply from the footsteps of his papa.

Until very recently it was necessary to live in Missouri for a year before you could get a divorce. But of course comparatively few people wanted a divorce that .bad.

One of Governor Pingree's critics declares that when the governor "gets hold of a really sound idea he hastens to wet go of it." He probably lets it drop like a hot potato.

Mr. Wolcott is still trying to keep the breadth of life from going out of "international bimetallism." The senator is a strangely unobservant doctor. His patient is dead.

Ohio would act very strangely and very foolishly if she were to turn down the Republicans. But the indications are that she has no intention of doing anything of that sort.

What the free traders are trying to 3b is to forget that there is the possibility of a great lockout in England. They are convinced, you know, that all such disagreeable things as lockouts are the ugly children of protection.

Bob Fitzsimmons has been down at Evansville and in an interview published in the Courier calls Corbett a "stiff, a bluff and a cur." Now Mr. Corbett will rake around in Ills vocabulary and find some light and pretty compliments to pay to Mr. Fitzsimmons.

Out at Spokans, Wash., a man by the name of John Bull got into trouble with a Yankee and is now in tho morgue. The incident is respectfully commended to the attention of those London newspapers that regard Uncle Sam as "a fourth-rate power with a swelled head."

Seth Low has- made a disgraceful bid for Henry George's supporters. Scarcely is the body of the single taxer cold when the pocket edition of Grover Cleveland rushes into print with fulsome praise for him. It Is ill-timed laudation. It is madness full of method. The Mugwump vulture should be voted off the map.

Canalejas, the Spanish journalist and statesman who comes to this hemisphere for the purpose of sounding public sentiment in regard ta Cuba, states that he believes in democratic principles from an abstract point of view, but that "Cuba is yet in her infancy and needs the tutelage of a strong nation." However, the developments of the war thus far 6eem to indicate that Spain ie not strong enough to exercise the desired tutelage. Cuba is disposed to do a little in the tutelage line herself.

MISSION OF CANALEJAS. Within the past day or two a prominent Spaniard arrived In New York en route to 2uba. His name is Jose Canalejas Menjez and he is a statesman, journalist and lawyer of note, having long been identified with the dominant elements in Spanish poetical life. Canalejas comes to this country to sound public sentiment in regard to the Cuban problem. He thinks of going also to Canada and will finally conduct a personal Investigation of the internal affair,? of Cuba, ft is his pilrpose to learn, if he can, pre:isely what is at the bottom of tbe revolution across the gulf and whether that thing 'a removable or not

This Spanish gentleman will have no diffi:ulty in ascertaining the sentiment of the American people touching the matter in which he Is interested. He will gather from the remarks of those whom he meets and ^rom the newspapers that there is practically io sentiment in this country favoring anything but independence for the struggling patriots of Cuba. He will find out, if he Beds out the truth, that the American opinion of Weyler and his methods cannot be honestly expressed without deep offense to the Spanish ear. Why he should go to Canada to sound popular feeling on the Cuban question is a matter not easily understood, for the war now in progress in that island little of Canada's funeral.

Canalejas has been interviews^ In New

'-iS and he talks Uke a fair man. He seems want to know the truth.- He says he is aei ft partisan and 4ms not mint to confine

his inquiries to pro-Spanish limits. He wishes to talk freely with .American public men and with prominent Cubans who understand their countrymen's cause. Canalejas was once a partisan of1 Sagas ta but withdrew from the Liberal party because of Sagasta's endorsement of .home rule for Cuba. However, he jfrofesses to be a believer in democratic principles in the abstract. He says he would favor the freedom of Cuba were she not in her infancy and in need of "the tutelage of a strong nation." Asked if he intended to return to Spain and advise the evacuation of the island, he said: "'That is a hard question. If, as a result of my "investigation, I should find that the condition of affairs in Cuba is desperate if I should become persuaded that Cuba and Spain cannot live together in peace that the majority of the Cubans are hostile -to us and, in ®hort that' there is nothing left to Spain in Chha except perpetual fighting, then toe sure that I shall tell my country that which my consciencc dictates. But I don't believe the situation to be so toad. I am hopeful that, all parties yielding a little, a ground may still toe found upon which Spaniards and Cubans will unite in a common effort to save the island to civilization and progress."

It would appear from this that Senor Canalejas has not been taking General Gomez at his word. The old leader of the revolutionists has repeatedly declared against compromise of any and all kinds, even when Weyler and his army were doing their worst in ways .unheard of in the annals of civilized warfare. If Gomez could keep a stiff lip then, how can he be expected to yield now, when Weyler is recalled and the Spanish army is in a quandary? In all likelihood if Canalejas looks deeply into the situation in Cuba he will discover that Spain and Cuba cannot indeed "live together in peace" and that "there is nothing left to Spain in Cuba but perpetual fighting." General Gomez says so and he says it in language .surcharged with defiance and hate.

GETTING THE MARKETS OF THE WORLD. Free traders have contended that the only way to sell goods abroad is to pass a tariff for revenue only, discarding entirely the principle of protection, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Current events fail to support that theory. We are increasing our sales of manufactured articles in nearly every part of the world and in some lines are without serious competition. One striking instance can be given. Our electrical supplies are in demand everywhere. In about six months our exports of electrical apparatus have amounted to over 52,000,000, an increase of 25 per cent over last year. One American electrical company has made four foreign contracts involving a total of $750,000. Another company has orders for a 6,000-light generator station at Paris, motors of 3,000 horse-power for French tramways, and 10,000 horse-power for Germany! .tramways. A third company will construct fifty electric elevators in London, and a fourth will reccive $350,000 for an electric lighting plant in the same city. Two Western electric companies have taken foreign oontracts aggregating $600,000. An English firm, with an electric contract in two Spanish cities for $1,000,000, is proevring the most* of its supplies, including cars and rails, in the United States.

An American who visited Birmingham, England, not long ago found that in constructing the street trolleys there the rails are made in Pittsburg, the cars in Philadelphia, the boilers in Erie, the engines in Milwaukee and the general electric fittings in Schenectady. Our railway equipments are in use in Bremen, Berlin, Hamburg, Brussels, Madrid,, Dublin, Florence, Naples, Milan, Rouen, Lyons, Marseilles and other cities of Europe. A similar demand for our electric manufacures, especially in traction and lighting, exists in the West Indies, South America, South Africa, China and Japan. The South Americans, according to their commercial usage, turned to Europe for electric appliances, 1)Ut soon discovered that the goods were far inferior to those made in the United States. Whole consignments" from England were defective or out or date, and later orders were placed' with American firms. It may be taken, for granted that if we can sell to London .the .superiority of our wares is so great as to be incontestible.

So it seems that we can. get hold of the markets of the world, and maintain an unquestioned supremacy, without the slightest regard to free trade. England is not finding that system a bar to goods "made in Germany" or in the United States. We have secured the leadership in electric appliances by ingenuity, enterprise and the most advanced work. Some of our states have six times as many miles of electric railway as England, Scotland and Ireland cotabined. England is not in our class in electric apparatus, nor is any other country. They buy of us because they get the latest and best, and save money by the operation. American electrical engineers are in demand in foreign countries. Our manufacturers can see for themselves that a protective tariff is no impediment to their achievement of the highest business success in any part of the world. What has been done in electric supplies can be accomplished in other lines, and, indeed, has been reached in quite a number. Other triumphs of the same kind will be attained and their number will not be few.

CURRENT EVENTS.

Professor Miller of the Kigh School told his chemistry class yesterday of the peculiar experience a friend of his is having in trying to get rid of a silver dollar which he accidentally swallowed. He vaa playing with his child and laid thi dollar oc his tongue, drawing it into his mouth when the child tried to take it. Accidentally it went down his throat and became lodged in the aesophagous. It could not be removed with surgical instruments. Then he began swallowing large quantities of vinegar and other acids. These ate away enough of the metal to permit the coin to drop down into the stomach, where it now is and from which it is hoped to remove it after it is still further diminished by the acid treatment.

The doubt about the election of a Republican majority in the Ohio legislature when there Is no doubt about the state ticket is a case in point against the plan of nominating a candidate for United States senator by convention. Unless the candidate be of towering ability/ popular and easily leading ail other party leaders in deserving a recognition he really weakens the party in the contest.

Highland township, Greene county, claims the largest apple tree and largest forest tree in the state. The apple tree is 12 feet in circumference. The other, a sycamore, is 47 feet 9 inches in circumference.

A band of meh and women religious enthusiasts have been holding services in the streets of many towns in the southern part of the state. They say the end of the world is coming soon. They do not believe in the ownership of property and tell how they reached their ideal by burning the pictures in their homes and adopting simplicity in all things as their creed. The men hold that it wicked to shave the face.

The following is the introduction to a full report in the Telegram of Eugene Deos"

Mr. W. C. Ball yesterday celebrated his silver wedding anniversary. It was twentyfive years ago that he was wedded to the Gazette.

It is a mighty bad sign In a young man whose idea of having fun involves the de» struction of property. No excuse can be framed for such conduct, Hallow'een or at any other time. There is a bad streak ib the fellow who laughs while he destroys property. Hp

ALL FROM A GIRL.

The Rev. Manary Claims His Troubles-Orig-inated In a Girl's Affcction.

The Rev. M. N. Manary of the Oreg on Church, south of the city, Is a very angry man. As was mentioned in The Express last week, he came to the city and retained a lawyer to prosecute certain of his flock tor slander, as they Ijad coupled his name in rather a scurrilous fashion with those of several young women of the community.

The Rev. Manary claims he has traced these reports and bits of scandal back, to their originator, and that he is a pillar of the church. The minister asserts that the trouble all arose out of the jealousy of a young woman of the congrtegation. This: young woman bad become imbued, so says the Rev. aMnary, with the idea that he was. in vulgar parlance, "stuck on her," and that she had made her attentions to him so obnoxious that he felt obliged to write her a letter of rebuke and denial of the "fire within his bosom." The rustic Venus thereupon forgot her love in her thoughts of revenge, and, through her father, started the tales against the youngvman of God. The latter is fully determined to see the thing through.A large number of the members of his con-}* gregation are heartily in sympathy with1him. 1c

HELD UP AND MURDERED.

A "Stranger From Indiana" Implicated in the Crime. A

Meyer, Mo., Nov. 1.—Nathan Stark, a prominent farmer, was "held up" on the highway last night by Ira Sexton, a neighbor, who attempted to rob him. Stark resisted, and Sexton shot and killed him. Sexton was taken to Princeton and placed in jail. The feeling against him is strong, and an extra guard has been placed about the jail. Three others have been put under arrest as Sexton's accomplices. They are Sexton's wife of a week, her sister and a stranger from Indiana. Sexton says he did not want to kill Stark, but the..latter showed fight when "held up." TheTobbers got nothing.

meeting in Hartford, Conn night: "Yesterday morning Hartford was not, particularly enthusiastic over Eugene Debs and his plan of Social Democracy. This morning it is safe to predict that the subject ie receiving a great amount of consideration from the 2,000 people who heard his address at the Auditorium last night. "It was the biggest and most enthusiastic meeting of the kind that Hartford has, seen in years—perhaps has ever seen. The crowd began to arrive early and the hall was soap filled to its greatest capacity. In the audK ence were many women, and the men repre-, sented the better class of workingmen, with very few of what might'be called the rabid and unthinking class. The men bore ties appearance of being possessed of sound, conservative judgment and the applause wltfc which Debs' speech was received by theae men was the strongest evidence of its worth "Dehs is without doubt a strong character. If anybody expects to find in him an illiterate, wildly harrenguing sort of a Socialistic anarchist, they were disappointed.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Springfield Republican: Now that Jveil Dow has gone, some of. the Maine politicians aro mustering up the courage to talk of repealing the prohibition laws at the fifexr session of the legislature. He was a tower of strength to that policy, and what could not be done in his lifetime may possibly succeed now.

Chicago Inter Ocean: It is a remarkable fact that in the entire Democratic party of today William J. Bryan is tne only man who could draw, even in the midst of a spirited campaign, and near its close at that. What has become of them all? A prfrty which polled over 6,000,000 of votes only a year ago ought surely to have some big men—men whom the party throughout the country would delight to honor but if there are any ..such, with the exception noted, where, pray, are their names, their state and their station?

Atlanta Journal: If Mr. William J. Bryan is a sensible man, he must be suffering from a severe case of disguet in consequence of the silly adulation and extravagances of some of the Kentucky orators who have introduced him during his tour over that state. If Mr. Bryan accepts all the gush of tnese sappy declaimers as truly descriptive of iiimseif. his mental equilibrium must be completely gone. At the Elir.abethtown fair he was hailed by one enthusiast as the "greatest citizen of the greatest country in the history of man." On another occasion a rural Kentucky editor in intrcducing Mr. Bryan, declared that neither Greece with her Demosthenes. Rome with her Cicero, France with Mirabeau, and England with her Burke "ever beheld or heard the peer of the hero from Nebraska.

New York Evening Post: The English bimetallists are not at all discouraged by the bursting of the Wolcott bubble. They isaue an address pointing out the great victory they have won by having "attention called" eo prominently to the subject of international bimetallism. That is like Paddy's consolation when the pig crashed through the window and got away at any rate 4ie knew the size of the cratur now. Yes, attention has been called to international bimetallism also ridicule and contempt. All the world sees it lying dead in Downing street. But, as tne English Bimetallic league saya, the slaughter has attracted great "attention," and the funeral will be attended toy many mourners. Chief among these should be the '.'brainy" Balfour. The idea, said one of his admirers just the day before the fatal blow was 'struck—the idea of Balfour's staying in a cabinet which wou'd do bimetallism to death. But there he stays just like a less divine being. Perhaps it is only to make his mourning official. No one doubts that It is heartfelt.

Chicago Chronicle: England is once more in hot water because of the aggressions orPa chartered British company, formal for the purpose of swindling the natives of wqpt Africa. This time it is th^ Niger company which is causing the trouble. Like the old East India company, this African coAoetii has its own troops, and Us officers are accused of stirring up the natives against the French. The latter threaten reprisals and actual hostilities are in prospect. It is the historic policy of tbe British government to sustain these freebooting companies in all their aggressions, and it is this ^rect that renders the outlook threatening. In the-pres-ent case, however, the English have a civilized nation instead of a half-naked barbarian tribe to deal with. This circumstance may cause the Salisbury government to hesitate, and perhaps to disavof responsibility for the Niger company as it disavowed the Jameson raiders. Britannia has great respect lor the rights of a nation that can hit back.

ALL THE LIGHTS ON

THE QSAKO THROWN OPBN FOB THB PRESS LAST EVENING.

Very Beautiful Little Theater and Not So Uttte Either—Tonight Occurs (. th« Opening.

Last evening The Grand looked like It will look tonight except that the people -were not %bere. "r, AH the lights were on throughout the theater proper and the effect was brilliant Enough for anybody. II The curved and arched ceiling ia divided into three panels, a large one in the center and two smaller ones at the sides. All of these panels are rimmed with Incandescent lights. The prosecnium arch to studded with incandescent lights and they are thick around the edge of the balcony and gallery. There are three rows of footlights, green, red and white. The ceilings above the foyers are illuminated by Incandescents and so are the entrance way and the sign in front.

It is said that there are between 1,500 and 1,600 lights In the house, including those in the sign and the entrance. These many units of light are under the control of an electrician on the stage. He can manipulate them at will, giving any shade in the auditorium that may he desired even to complete darkness. The footlights are not so located as to shine in the eyes of anybody in any part of the house: The lights that surround the balcony at The Grand are so arranged that they do not affect the eyes of either those above or below them.

Stage Carpenter A. H. Lewis put on several sittings last evening just to get his scenry in working order. He gave a wood scene, a palace scene, a prison scene and a rocky pass scene. All were artistic and realistic. It is clear that the scenery painter has done a good job and that the results of his work are in the' hands of a man that knows how to make the best possible use of them. The drop curtain is very pretty indeed. It is a marine 6cene. It is called "Sea Gull Coast" and represents a rock around which the sea gulls are gathering and against which the waves of the ocean are breaking. The distance to the horizon is great and the scene gives promise of remaiuing for a long time new. Manager Barhydt says it will be more liked in a year from now* than it is at the present time. It was painted by Joseph Physioc, of Garrick's theater, New York, an artist who paints for some of the leading theatrical people of the country.

The carpets and draperies are all in place. The first floor is covered with a royal Wilton and the balcony with a body Brussels. The entrance to the first floor is curtained off with green French Titian velours and the windows are draped with the same material. The ladies' retiring room is carpeted with royal Wilton and draped with velours. The boxes of the first floor are carpeted with royal Wilton and draped in red velours. The draperies are finished with fringes. There are small dressing rooms off the boxes, concealed by red velours. The carpeting in the boxes of the second floor is body Brussels to accord with that of the rest of the floor. There is coca matting in the gallery. The carpets and draperies were furnished by Albert Gall, of Indianapolis, and were laid and hung under the direction of Mr. C. E. Mallery.

Last night "The Isle of Champasne" wa produced at the opera house In South Bfnd and Manager Barhydt received the following message'from the manager of the house: T. W. Barhydt, Manager Grand Opera House,

IN THE COURTS OF EUROPE.

Behiud the Scenes With the Nobility of the Old World. Lord Cromer, in the course of a aemipublic address which he delivered in England just before his return to Cairo to resume his duties as nominal minister plenipotentiary (but de facto governor genciai), remarked that his great aim throughout his twelve years' administration of Egypt had been to bring "clean-living Englishmen" into the country, so that they couM set a good example to the natives, says the Mar-' quis de Fontenoy in the Chicago Record. In making that remark Lord Cromer njore or less wittingly hit squarely on the hoad the nail which constitutes the principal key to the success of English colonial enterprise. Without being in any way saints, there is no doubt that Englishmen in oriental countries lead far cleainer lives, morally speaking, than any other Europeans. That is partly due to the fact that no matter what their age or what the character of the locality where they happen to be stationed thejjr always devote all the time which they can spare from their work to sport of cne kind and another and to various forms of athletic exercise. This and the presence in almost every European settlement oE one or more English women, who act as a sort of restraining influence, serve to preserve Englishmen in the colonies and in the European settlements of the orient from all tbat shocking immortality and vice resulting from idleness and ennui, which constitute the blight and the curse of the colonies of France, Germany, Italy, Portugal a ad Spain.

Englishmen are not always liked by the natives, but as a general rule they are respected and no greater contrast can be imagined than that which prevails Detween the British community, say, at Bombay, and the French community at Algiers of Tunis, in spite of tbe fact that both of these places are barely thirty-six hours' distance from Paris, as against three weeks in the case of Bombay. If I draw attention to this point it is because I never yet have seen it set down in black and white, although clean lives on the part of her sons beyond the seas constitute probably the principal source of England's colonial greatness and supremacy.

The death of the duchess of Teck will leave her husband in a very precarious financial position. He has absolutely no fortune of his own, the small estate which be inherited from bis mother (by reason of his morganatic birth he was -.lebarrad frT.: inheriting from bis father) having been squandered at Vienna long before he married bis English wife. The latter had «n annuity from the British treasury of $25,009 a year as a full-fledged royal princess of the reigning house, besides the use of the White lodge at Richmond, which is crown property, and one of the royal palaces. Neither this palace nor yet the annuity can possibly be continued to the widowed duke or to his children, one of whom is the duchess of York, for he is not royal nor an Enguish prince of tbe blood, neither are his sons, an.l it is dimcult to see what he will have to live on. He ba« recently been speculating somewhat heavily in Yukon gold mines, and has lost more than he can possibly afford to pay in the venture, besides compromising his name to an extent that has seriously annoyed the «jueen and other members of the royal family.

The money left by bis wife's mother was all settled on his children in such a manner as to avoid the possibility of his getting hold of it, and not only is he destined henceforth to be a dependent on their bounties, but also he will have to give up the royal establishment and attributes to which be has been accustomed since his marriage and which he shared with his wife, who alone had any right thereto.

Altogether, the situation in whico he finds

himself ia one of considerable difficulty, and is complicated toy the fact that he is the father of England's future queen, and as such is bound to keep up a certain amount of style. Let me add that he Is not popular with the members of the royal family in England, who are none of them disposed to go very far «Mt of their way to help him out of his difficulties.

Lieutenant Colonel Ross of Bladensburg, who has Just published in England a book describing the exploits of the Coldstream guards, and who is a very conspicuous figure in London society, is the grandson of th#t General Ross who followed up his defeat of the American army at Bladensburg in 1814 by capturing Washington, where he destroyed the national capltol and the national library. It is only fair to add that this work of barbaric destruction, which has been strongly condemned by most English historians, was done by General Ross under the most strict and peremptory orders from home. General Roas, whose troops only held Washington for twenty-four hours, was killed a few days later in a skirmish before Baltimore.

His grandson, Lieutenant Colonel Ross, whose father received from the crown a patent authorizing him to add1 the words "of Bladensburg" to his name, has served with distinction in a number of campaigns, and was attached as secretary to the special embassy of the duke of Norfolk to the Vatican on the occasion of the. pope's jubilee.

Although we hear but little through the cable dispatches in the newspapers of what is going on in Portugal, yet I learn through private letters that the situation at Lisbon continues so critical that the royal yacht is lying, already provisioned and with banked fires, in the Tague at a short distance Trom the shore, prepared for any emergency that may arise. That shows how serious are the apprehensions of both the king and the queen of some revolutionary outbreak which may compel them to seek refuge with their children on board the yacht. It is likewise asserted in court circles that most of the royal valuables, such as plate and jewels, are kept on board this yacht, which is manned by officers and sailors upon whose loyalty the king can rely absolutely. This is all the more a wise precaution, since, the first thing that a revolutionary mob is in tbe habit of doing is to sack the royal palaces.

One would have thought that by this time the very peculiar features of the prince of Naples, only son and heir to King Humbert, would be familiar to the majority of his countrymen. As every one ought to be aware by th^s time, he is very swarthy and very short. Yet the other day, when the Italian duke of Eboli, who is tail and fair, happened to visit Tunis on boar* his y^cht Oretta and to come ashore with several of his companions he was literally mobbed by a crowd of Italians—there are more than 50,000 of them in Tunis—who insisted that he was the crown prince of Italy and deafened him with loyal shouts of "long live the prince of Naples." Several old men who declared that tbey had stood on guard at King Humbert's palace doors when he was a baby actually insisted on kissing his hands in the exuberance of their devotion to the Italian crown, and he finally was obliged to take refuge on board his yacht, and to leave the port without delay in order to protect himself from the consequences of a somewhat ridiculous and almost Inconceivable mistake.

A Timely Friend.

With perfect propriety may we call that excellent remedy, Salvation Oil, a timely friend. This liniment rapidly cures rheumatism, neuralgia and pains, when other remedies fail. Mr. Jno. M. Hall, Ashland, Ya., writes "I suffered with rheumatism in the ankle and the muscles connected therewith. Salvation Oil at once relieved the soreness, reduced the swelling, and cured the pain. No other liniment that I ever used did me so much good."„r sold by 5 Win. Jennings Keukom. 6*3 Lafayette avenue. Goo. Reiss. Second street and Wabfub avenuo.

AS TO DR. RATCHFORD

That Beaolntlon.,

President Knight says Mr. Ratchford'* answer is entirely satisfactory. "The resolution," Mr. Knight stated, "grew out of a misapprehension of facts on the part of the Indiana miners. Before the settlement was reached Mr. J. Smith Talley went to Columbus and informally Inquired of Mr. Ratchford what the miners would tn'uk of a proposition on the part of the Illinois and Indiana operators to go to work at the scale demanded. Mr. Talley did not make any proposition to Mr. Ratchford he asked hima question. He did not represent anybody, either, except himself. The visit of Mr. Talley to Columbus and his inquiry of tho national president as to what tbe miners would rlo in case the Illinois and Indiana operators should offer to Gettle at the seal* became imperfectly known to the Indiana miners and they got the impression that Mr. Talley had gone to Mr. Ratchford with an official proposal of settlement on the terms of the Columbus scale. Of course he did nothing of the sort, as his letter to Mr. Ratchford published in The Express clearly reveals. "No," Mr. Knight declared, "the Indiana miners are not dissatisfied with the settlement that has been made and they do not doubt either the honesty or the wisdom of President Ratchford in doing as he has done."

Work in the block coal field continues more active than it has been at any previous time in years. The unusual demand for block coal is due to the fact that it is being called for to supply a part of the deficiency caused by the failure of Pennsylvania to get its customary amount cf coal into the Northwest this ceaoon. The Pennsylvania product is of good quality and is always more or less of a competitor wUh the block. The demand for Indiana bituminous continues fair and is expccted to remain so for a good while *0 come. The miners expect tranquility now, at least unr til an attempt is made to arrange an interstate scale in December to run for the year following.

President Knight of the Indiana mlnem says the diggers of this state do not doubt the wisdom of the settlement of the recent strike -'Vr iff

He sfcya they have not lost confidence ia National President Mike Ratchford and do not think he failed to get the best terms possible for the Indiana men.

It will be remembered that when the miners met in delegate convention in this city immediately after the settlement of th« strike they pasesd a resolution calling upon President Ratchford to explain why he dl* not accept a proposition from tbe Indiana 'f' and Illinoks operators that promised men* to the miners-of these two spates than the proposition finally accepted from the Pittsburg operators.

This resolution was not given out to the newspapers here. It did not appear in Terre Haute paper until The Express printed it yesterday morning. But Secretary Kennedy wrote an account of it to the official organ of tbe miners at Columbus, O. This account appeared some time ago, but Mr. Ratchford did not answer it until recently, when he made reply in an issue of the United Mine Workers' Journal. He explains his delay by saying tbat he had been waiting for the call for an explanation to be made officially by the Indiana minersAs it was not made in that way he would regard the publication of the resolution as constituting the call intended.'

A German Invention That Will Work Effectively. Berlin, Nov. 1.—The firm of Kuhuit & Deisler, of this city, has patented a simpli smoke consumer, consisting of a fire clay plate to be inserted in the ffirnace, which is said to effect a complete combustion of smoke and to average a saving of 20 per cent In fuel. An ordinary fireman Is able to fix it In a furnace. Its cost is 400 marks. Experts declare that it will revolutionize the system of heating by coal. "J

It is reported from Kiel that thorough tests of the invention have been made at the navy yards there, with the result that 5-^ the government has ordered the applioation "E of the smoke consumer to all .the boilers in use in the navy, and is Begotiaiing with the inventors for the sole right to use it o*w steamers.

Lieutenant Nlblack, naval attache of the United States emhassy, has sent a special "}x report to Washington, recommending tho adoption of the invention in the United
