If T. HOItTlUMHrt, EDITOR tVnuiauroN. I'A.i 8ATU11PAY, NOVEMUEll 12, 1881. A COAIj SYNDIC A s U. It Is repotted on excellent authority iu coal circlet, saya Thursday'! Philadel phia "B-cord," that a syndicate repre senting a combined capital of 115,000, 000, and having for its object the con trolling of the entire anthracite produc tion of the Btate is in course of forma tion.' Several names have been mention ed in connection with this movement, ntnong them being Messrs. William An deuried.of Philadelphia, Charles Parrlsb, of Wilkesbarre, and Frederick A. Potts, of New Jersey. The two former havo had nn extensive experience in mining an thracite coal, while Mr. Potts is inter ested in the extension of the Jersey and Midland Itailrond in Lackawanna coun ty, and also to the lands of the Alliance Coal Company, near Tamnqun. Mr. An denried denies the authenticity of the statement, while other prominent coal men iu Walnut street assert that they have, heard it from good authority and know that the formation of such a syn dicate is in earnest conlf mplation. Presi dent Bond, of the Philadelphia and Heading Riilroad, stated that he has heard it mentioned, bnt that no proposi tion bad ever been made to biin by gentlemen representing such n syndi cate, although he is rj-ady at any time to listen to any proposition that would benefit the company. John Donaldson, of the firm of Donaldson & Thomas, said that he had heard of such a syndicate for the last year; at first it proposed to take all the Heading's production, and now it has beoome more avaricious and wanted the entire prodnction, lie did not think that it would be possible to accomplish such u result. Another operator said that the project was one which Mr. Go wen had entertained for years. It will be recollected that he offered to take all the production of the individual operators nud place it for ten cenU per ton com mission. The impracticability of such a scheme was well demonstrated in the starting of retail yards by Mr. Oowen. He announced his intention to annihilate the retail dealers and monopolize all that trade, and expended millions of dollars; yet the yards have been abandoned. The details of the plans of the syndi cate have not yet been made known, but they havo been discussed informally.and it is aaid that its members can see their wy clear to make an aggregate of $500, 000 a year merely for hauling tha coal. The benefit to the producing companies it is claimed would be in getting rid of the enormous expense of .yards, depots, whuves. etc. and clerk hire, all of which are concomitunU of coal-selling companies. All the properties used for the disposal of the coal would be leased by the syndicate, the producer getting so much net profit at the mines. President Bond said that the undertaking would be a stupendous one, and it would take considerable money. "It is a big undertaking," said an old operator, "but I did a business for years of ove-r 400,000 tons, and never actively employed in it as much as $50,000. But I had good credit, and so have all the gentlemen whose names I have heard mentioned in connection with the pro posed syndicate. The coal business,'' he continued, "unlike most all others is a caxh business, the longest credits are not much over thirty days, and tolls can be paid aud settlements made with a comparatively small amount of capital, If a cargo is lost by a bad sale a syndi cate representing $15,000,000 would hardly leel it." "There are several reasons, I think, said another operator, "why it will not be consummated, and one of these is that such companies as the Lehigh Val ley, the Delaware, Laokawanna and Western and Pennsylvania are not going to sacrifice those who have been with them from the infancy of the trade to axsist others." It was stated by several others that if the plan was consummated and the indi vidual operators would not agree to it, they were to be forced in by discrimna- tions against them in the shipment of ooal. All who were consulted about this declared that it could not be done, al though it was the idea proposed by Mr. Oowen when he engineered save al com binations iu the trade. Judge Asa Pack er, then President of tho Lehigh Valley IUilroad Company, declared that before he would be guilty of such a trick to those who had always remained by him he would breuk away from the combina tion. As a result of this remark an en mity sprang up between them which had not healed when Mr. Packer died. Presidents Sloan and Roberts, several men in the trade afsert, would not allow the individual operators along their lines to receive bad treatment; but they did not think such a consideration would en ter into any bargain that the Beading might make, as ihe company bad al ready tejueezed the individuals until not one left would have money enough to put up a tombstone over bis grave. Olh er coal men assert that the plan of the syndicate is one in which tho hands of both Vanderbilt atad Qould can bo plain Jy seen, and as they bad both been look ing with longiog eyes upon the aulLiu jcite trade of tbis Btate this would bo the best and easiest way to commence the -work of securing the prize. Mr. Oowen has always contended that if the coal mined netted him $1 per tou it was all he could ask from the mines, ome people put the net profit the syn dlcate proposes to guarantee on each ton at 75 cents. Thit could be done, it is stated,- by making the retail price of coal S7 per ton, and incrtaiipR the wholesale price proportionately. The production fur the year will be about 27,000,000 tons, which represents a money value of about $85 000,000, IBOW IIUMSIA IS COVEItNED, The governing foron of Bussia, saya the Philidetphin Telegraph," are very imperfectly understood in this country, Among these govt ruing bortien is, iu ti first place, the Council of Stut . Con pitid of Ihe highest dlguitarics of th e a pi re, all appointed by the Cztr, this body plays tbo role of a Legislature. It It. supposed that all tbe iuws of tbe OJUutry are framed by it, bn', in fact, tiothlug of the kind ter tW pine 7 Council is not an asueoibly of lei Iators; it is rather an asylum for the ex- Ministers and ex-Generals, who, through age and infirmities, have become unfit for active service. If, perchance, an energetic and ambitious persons enters this decrepit council he may easily ac quire a great influence. Then comes the Ooverulng Senato, the highest judioiary tribunal in Bussia. When he created the Senate, Peter the Great left at its dis posal the imperial crown ttiolf. But, as Senators wero not elected but appointed by tbe Cz.ir, they naturally became the obedient tool of the administration, and soon lost all political power. Now the Senate is nothing but a mere wheel in Ihe complicated bureancratio machine. His Majesty's own Chancellory, formerly composed of the four Sections, must not bo overlooked. It is truo the Chancell ery has lost its prestige (and most of its odium) since tbe abolition of the Third Section the Bussian Inquisition. Bnt its dreadful power uny bo resurrected at any time, though perhaps in n new shape. Tbe Chief of tho State Police naturally becomes the master of the Czar, and, therefore, he stands above thu hws of tho country The Minister of the Interior is at present thu Chief of the SUb) Police, and therefore the minor Czar that is, the real ruler of the coun try. Tbe Committee of Ministers his absorbed the powers both uf the Council and tbe Senate. As the Ministers are ir responsible, each of them is a real auto crat in bis own branch of the Govern ment. Aud, as there is no well-defined limits between the different branches, there is no end of collisions and wsrs iu the administration, aud there is no ade quate authority to settle rival minister ial pretensions. Tho Czar, Council, Sen ate and Ministers can merely itsuo ukases and orders, whereas the judgment of the ukas:s and orders is tbe special func tion of a 6trong and well-organized body called tbe bureaucracy. The Bussian bureaucracy is an omnipotent, ubiqui tous, omnisceut institution. In the Czar's country nothing can be done with out tho bureaucratic machine,and every thing is done in tho way prescribed by the machine. The bureaucrats form a caste by themselves, and no individual, Minister or Czar, can change the tradi tions and character of this caste. The preliminary report of tho recent cruise of the revenue cutter Corwin, in the Arctio Ocean and Behring's Sea, made by Captain Hoopor. was received at tbe Treasury Department on Saturday of last week. In the report, which was very lengthy, aud has been anticipated in all tho principal points, he gives an account of the explorations of Herald Is land and Wrangel Land, aud the taking possession of the latter, for the United States, on August 10th, and renaming it New Columbia. No trace whatever was seen of tbe Jeaunette at cither island, and Captain Hooper is of the opinion that she did not make an extended stay al those places, if she reaohed them at all. He is also of the opinion that she met with no accident duriug tbe first winter, at least, that necessitated tho abondoumeut of the vessel, and strongly inclines to the belief that she entered the pack northeast of Herald Island, aud was carried by it in a northeasterly direction He con- ludes that tbe Jeannctto will not return by way of Bering's Slnit, but will move north and east. "Should she becomo hopelessly embayed after drilling to the northeast daring the first winter, and it became necessary to abandon her, the crew would doubtless make for tbe near- land, which might be the continent be tween Cape Bathnrst nnd Point Borrow, at urai jjuuii, aitivine island, or -1 .-1.-1 I V . ... -m . Prince Patrick's Land," If no tidings ot them are received through any of the seirch parties ot tbe present year, Cap tain Hooper suggests that a vessel be sent to Melville Inland as early next year as tbe ice will permit, carryiur: three sledge parties, one for Bank's Land, one for the West Coast of Melville Islaud.and a third for Prince Patrick's Land. What ever is to be done for their relief must be done promptly. If 'still alive, they are now entering upon their third winter of hardships in tho Arctic regions, and it they have been compelled to abandon their vessel and are waiting for a vessel to be sent to their relief, unnecessary delay may, ana in all probability will provo fatal.

WASHINGTON. From our Srr.cui. CoRRicsroxDKHT. WisninaTon, Nov. 6, 1881. General Hazen has submitted his an nual report to Secretary Liocoln. There hag been daring tbe year further progress and accuracy of- prediction. The for casts made in the interests of cotton growers were of very great value. The total number of stations of observation in operation Jnne 30, 1881, within tbe territory of tho United States and main tained for the signal service was 296. He ports are also received from seventy ad ditional stations established by the au thorities of the Dominion of Canada, also from one nl St. John's, New Foundland, nnd one.at York Factory, British Ameri ca. Tbe average cost of maintaining each full station of observation during the year, exclusive of the cost of telegraph ing reports and the pay and maintenance of the enlisted men on duty at eaob, has been (33G.73, a decrease Bince the pre ceding yearof 815 65perstatinn. A series of experiments has been made with sun- flashes, with a view of improving npon tbe forms of tbe heliograph to be adopted for the general nse of the army, and it is believed that the improved heliograph selected combines groat simplicity with efficiency, and possesses many practical advantages, so far as known, over similar instruments in other services. The annual report of Paymaster Gen- eral N. W. Brown, United States Army, submitted yesterday to tbe Secretary of War, states that during the fiecal year ending June 30, last, tbe receipts were $5,030,907.80, nil of which amount was accounted for. The amount received dur ing tho year from soldiers' deposits was $521,112 75, an increase of $40,938 28 over the previous year. It is recommend ed that tbe laws which enact that npon a leave of absence of more than thirty days officers are reduced to half pay be repeal ed, or they are onerous especially in the case of officers stationed in the extreme West, much of whose time on leave is taken in tbe tiavel East and back. The number of paymaster's clerks should be increased to fifty-six, in order to prevent dtlay of public business, and that-they be classed as "civilian employes," and their pay and compensation regulated in tbe same manner as similar employes in the other staff departments of the army. For convenience and a more equitable expenditure it is recommended that the appropriations for mileage, pay of the army, and general expenses be consoli dated nnder one title. During the fiscal year the payments of claims for bounty, arrears of pay, prize money, etc., due soldiers, both white and colored, has been made. The payments devolved npon this bureau by the act of March 3, 1879, have been prompt; satisfactory and eco nomical. The system of identification of claimants and placing tbe money in their hands,Becms as perfect as it can be made, aud no cbauge is recommended. As yet very few of the Congressmen have pledged themselves to vote for any one of the candidates in the field for the Speakership. The new Representatives aie especially chary about making prom ts. Hibcock has not tho New York dele gation solid for him, nor are all lbs Eos tern delegates for him. The Maine Con-eres-men are for End, Note of the Bbode Inlanders are at present for His cock, and only one in the Massachusetts n resentation has openly declared in mi port of him. The fight, however, appears to be between Kai-son and His cock. Gen. James A. Williamson, late com missioner of the General Land Office, is said to have been offered tbe Secretary. ship of the Interior, to take effect upon tho assembling of Congress in December. Gen. Williamson is at the present time land agent of the Atlantio and Pacific Railroad Company, though his family are still in Washington. It is not known whether he will accept a place in the Cabinet, as be is now in a permanent and lucrative position. President Arthnr has selected as his private room in the White House the one in the northwest corner of the second iloor, into which the late President was removed for a few hours while he was ly ing sick. He will leave for New York this morning. On his return, which will be in a week or ten days, he will resume his present quarters. The White House improvements will probably be complete before Congress meets, when the Presi dent will move in, Auoubt. Faou our Rt-ntiLAit Coaaitsro.voicxT. Washinotom, D. C, Nov. 7, 1681. There is not very much to review in tnkiug a retrospect of tho late session of the Senate. It was sot expected or in tended to be an important session beyond the fact that it was called te fill the gap between the tingle life of President Ar thur and utter vacancy of the office. 1'et withal tbe session furnished a con siderable amount of Interest, as short as it was. The decision of the Democrats to elect the President pro tern while they bad a temporary majority, was in itself the means of exciting considerable politi cal interest, and it provoked a retaliatory leeling among tbe Republicans, that re sulted in the election of Judge Davis. Now that it is all past and results only u r.i looked at it is generally admitted, on botb sides, that some sort of a comprom ise by which one candidate bad been agreed upon would haye been better for both parties and generated a better feel ing both in and out of tbe body. But so long as the active principle of our poll tics is the spoils of office this Bort of political wisdom may not be looked for, Mere temporary success to get, and, if possible, to bold, without much regard to means is the rule of tction. Touch ing tbe appointments made and confirm ed duriug the session it may be said that for tbe most part President Arthur baa been simply administering upon the es tate of ids predecessor. The most im portant nominations were those of Judge Fidger to be Secretary of tbe Treasury, Oen. James to succeed himself as Post master Qeoeral, and Mr. Hatton to suc ceed Mr. Tyuer as First Assistant Post master General. Nearly if not quite all the other nominations were appointments of the late President. It is now very generally believed here that Judge Davis will in tbe future act with tbe Republicans. There is no donbt that had the Democrats elected bira President pro tern., tbey would have se cured bira beyond peradventure. Bat ibis is in the past, and tbe Democrat may as well face the fact that in all their calculations for" the future the big Sena tor from Illinois must be counted as against them. Several of the Democrat' io Senators said on Saturday last thai they would sooner have a straight out Republican in the chair than Judge Davis, end if the Republicans brought in a motion in December to elect one ot their own number they would make no opposition. But with the .vote of Judge Davis secured, the Republicans have no incentive to attempt a change, nnd 'they have plainly indicated this view. So far as Ihe officers ot.the Senate nro concern ed the Democratio. incumbents hate some reason to feci easy, fpr Judge Davis has repeatedly expressed himself as opposed to turning men out of office unless for cause. He dined with the President just before he left for home. When he comes back he will make the appointment of keeper of tho Senate cookahop, for which nearly all the restaur ant keepers in town have been running after him. The session of the Woman's'Natlonal Temperance Union just concluded 'bereT' was an Interesting one and fruitful of pleasant iucidenti. The most prominent and widest known figure in it was Miss. Susan B. Anthony, who is to-day scarce ly a year older in appearance than she was twenty years ago. Iter hair is slight ly tinged with gray, but time seems to work changes very slowly upon .her calm intelligent face. She appeared on the platform dressed iu black aud wear ing the gold spectacles which have be come go fimlllar in caricature. Next to Miss Anthony Miss Frances E. Willard, the President of the Union.is perhaps the best known over tho country. She is also next in point of ability, and pro bably first in womanly qualities. Miss Clara Barton, who will be remembered for her services iu the Army as nurse, and Mrs. Woodbridgo, of Ohio, the Sec retary, wero among tho other prominent ladies in ntteudanco. The most thrill ing scene of the session was when Miss Willard took the hand of her mother, who had been brought there unknown to her, aud iu trembling accents introduced her to tho audience as "the dear heart that never failed me." Sho paid au elo quent tribute to the aged mother who stood beside her. The scene in 'the church was remarkable; not an eye was dry and many ladies actually cried aloud . The old lady thanked tbo Convention and tl.cu kissed her daughter where upon there was a fresh outburst of emo tion. Speaking of kissing, ono would hard ly expect to hear much of that sort of thing in a Convention of rather strong minded women. Yet thero was a good deal of it going on. At one of the ses sions Mrs. Morrison, a delicnte-iookiug lady from Indiana, rose to "a question of privilege," and ascending tbe platform said bhe wanted to kiss Miss Anthony in the prcsenco of the American flag and of the picturo of Gen. Garfield, who jn the proudest moment of his lifo turned aside to kiss his wifo and mother. Suitinghe ncliou to tho word she yavo Susan a "smack" that could be heard all oyerjtbe church. Evidently the action was lip proved as nobody objccted.to tho '(jnesr tion of privilege." What n pity that so many of these old girls' are limited to kissing each other. ,Tue Ja'dies did-not leave an j body iu the tlnilc as to the) ob jects of their' organization. They occu pied our pulpits and bulls em (Sunday with pleas for temperance and resoluted most emphatically against saloons. They went down to Mt, Vernon and undertook to close the bar of the btcanibcat on which they made the trip. One of theta- was very enthusiastic over President Arthur. "Our President," she said, "knows how to do the proper thing so handsomely, and we nil love him. " After that how can he refuse their lequest to adopt the "no wine" policy during his slay iu the White House. Doit Pcnno. &TA TEN CIVS.
