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.

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.

The Coimnerciul Department is a great
accession to tbe seminary. Personally su
pervised by an expert accountant, highly
versed ia commercial law and ttsuage, it is
doing excellent service in fitting young men
