TOUR OF COAL FIELDS
Arbitrators Making Inspection
of Miners' Work.
Promising Trade Outlook New Lake
Erie Harbor Trying to Settle French
Coal Strike Four Men Suffocated
n Sewer- Colombian Rebels Sur
renderImperial Cable.
The anthraclto coal commissioner!
appointed by tho president have made
a tour of (ho extreme upper coal field
and seen every step taken In the pro
duction of coal from the time It 1
blasted from the ground up to the point
whore it Is sent to market ready fur
use.
After the party had been rigged out
with rubber overshoes, overalls. Jump
ers and mine caps and provided with
miners' lamps, which they either car
ried In their hands or fastened to their
caps, the descent of the 1C0 foot shaft
was made.
The arbitrators had an Interesting
time at the Coal brook breaker at Car
bondale. They went to the top of the
great black building and Inspected all
the machinery down to the ground.
Then they were escorted to the chute
where the coal, fresh out of the mine,
Is sent to the breaker by means of a
"conveyor," an endless chain arrange
ment of scrapers.
It is here that one of the principal
bones of contention between the em
ployes and employer is found. The
miners maintain they are often unjust
ly docked by the docking boss for
the amount of slate, boney or other
refuse found In the coal. The com
missioners watched the work of a boss
closely and saw him dock several min
ers because, In his judgment, there was
too much foreign matter In the car of
coal.
Trade Indications Promising.
Bradstreet'a says at the state of
trade:
Confidence In the outlook for next
year's business Is a notable feature In
the trade situation. The volume of or
der booked for next spring's delivery
Is large for this season of the year,
and is explained partly by the excep
tionally good business done on fall
and winter account and the la.ge
crop yields of the year and also by
the good position of the winter wheat
crop as cold weather approaches.
The absence of killing frosts at the
South has allowed of the maturing of
a considerable top crop of cotton.
At the East the retail trade needs
steady cold weather to stimulate de
mand, but jobbing business feels tho
effect of the lifting of the coal em
bargo. Woolen goods, strengthened more
by higher cost of raw wool than by
current demand, are tending up; yarns
have already advanced. Spring trade
Indications are promising.
Business failures for the week end

New Lake Erie Harbor.
11. C. Frlck, A. XV. Mellon and R. B
Mellon of Pittsburg; A. J. Cassatt,
president of the Pennsylvania, and the
board of directors and other officials
of the Pennsylvania held a conference
In Erie which may consummate one of
the most Important deals recently
made by the Pennsylvania railroad.
On Oct. 2 a deal was completed In
riusb-rg whereby A. XV. Mellon and
R. B. Mellon became possessors of one
of the most valuable sites on Lake
Erie for a harbor, a railroad charter
and a land company with options on
land near the mouth of Elk creek. The
Interest of H. C. Frlck In the plan has
been kept pecret heretofore.
This land lies only a short distance
from the lines of the Erie and Pitts
burg division of the Pennsylvania rail
road and Is the only available harbor
site left In Pennsylvania.
The conference between the Pitts
burg men and the Pennsylvania offi
cials, It Is understood, was for making
an agreement whereby the Pennsyl
vania railroad can build a branch from
the Erie and Pittsburg division to
reach this new harbor.
End of a Long Strike.
The Hudson Valley railroad strike
has been settled by unanimous vote
of the striking employes, the company
accepting a proposition made by the
men, who returned to work Monday
morning. The union Is not recognized.
The terms upon which the strike Is
settled are bb follows:
Men who had been receiving 16
rents an hour will receive 17 cents and
men who had been receiving 184
cents will hereafter be paid 19 cents.
Instead of having Inspectors on the
Stillwater division who are paid 25 and
15 cents, that work will be done at
night by men from the main offices.
All the former employes will be re
instated in their old positions except
those who are under Indictment.
Trying to Settle Strike.
President Lou'oet of France Is fol
lowing the example set by Presi
dent RooseveH and Is taking an active
part In settling the French coal miners'
strike. He held an extended confer
ence whh M. Vincent, prefect of the
department Du Nord, who has been
acting as Intermediary between the
strikers and the mine owners in that
department. The mine owners havt
given the prefect the names of four
persons who are to represent them in
a conference with an equal number ol
Btrikers. In a semi-official Btatomcn
President Loubct expresses the hopp
for an esrly settlement of the strike
and declares that this would be a po
lltlcal accomplishment beyond preoe
TIONESTA.
Suffocated In Sewer.
At Niagara Falls, N. Y., by
sudden rush of gas, which Is supposed
to have been sulphuretted hydrogen
four men were killed and three seri
ously affected, near the Twenty-fourth
street heading of the big tunnel trunk
sewer.
The tunnel trunk sewer recently
struck a peculiar flow of water, boring
a vein of rock from wfilch water im
pregnated with sulphur flowed In such
large streams that the level at which
the tunnel was being built was aban
doned and one 10 feet higher taken.
The physicians at the hospital are
of the opinion that the men were suf
focated by the gas.
Commission at Hazleton.
The mine strike commission left
Scranton for Hazleton at 11 o'clock
Sunday night to spend four days
In further acquainting themselves with
the physical features of mining.

LOWER EXPENDITURES,
Report of Treasurer of the
United States.
Increase of $16,000,000 In the Re
ceipts From Customs But Internal
Peenue Lower Due to Repeal ol
War Taxes Increasing Gold Circula
tion Mines Confirm Gold Standard.
Washington, Nov. 4. Ellis H. Rob
erts, treasurer of the United States,
In opening his annual report Bays that
the magnitude of the available cash
balance and the unprecedented hold
ings of gross gold are the striking feat
ures of the conditiou of the treasury
at the close of the fiscal year 1902.
The net ordinary revenues for the
year were $502,478,233 and the expen
ditures $471,190,S57, showing a surplus
of $91,237,376.
In comparison with the previous
year, there was a decrease of $25,207,
104 in the revenues, offset by a falling
off of t381,776,495 in the expenditures.
While there was an Increase of $15,
859,252 In the receipts from customs,
the internal revenues, under the opera
tion of new laws repealing the war
taxes, fell off $35,300,541. There was
a decrease or $32,343,481 in expendi
tures on account of the war depart
ment and an Increase of $7,296,149 in
the cost of the navy. The total re
ceipts of the year from all sources, In
cluiidng the public debt, were $1,062,
124,037, and the disbursements $9G9,
627,041. United States notes and
treasury notes were redeemed In gold
to the amount of $17,482,590 of the for
mer and $1,274,590 of the latter, with
out any impairment of the gold reserve
of $150,000,000.
The available cash balance In the
treasury July 1, 1902, waa the largest
net balance in our history. It amount
ed to $862,187,361. The gold reserve
is counted in as tt Is available for the
redemption of legal tender notes.
The sums In national banks to the
credit of the treasurer and disbursing
officer were $127,190,056. The subsi
diary silver. $11,462,533, and the minor
xln, $!19,4i4, could hardly be used for
large payments, nor Is the silver bul
lion to be reckoned tor such purpose.
With such deductions, there re
mained In the treasury vaults, July 1,
a little over $72,000,000. As $50,000,000
Is deemed a fair working fund, about
$22,000,000 could be spared. By Oct.
1 this excess became $25,000,000 and
Justified measures to reduce It. By Nov.
1 It was brought to a trifle over a mil
lion dollars below the working fund.
Gold Coin and Certificates.
Nearly one-half of the available cash
balance July 1 was In gold coin and
certificates $103,801,290 over and above
the gold reserve of $150,000,000 and by
Oct. 1 It became $136,124,771. As a
measure of the financial strength of
tho government the report says the
fact deserves mention.
While the accounts of the public
debt on their face show an increase
of $15,283,512 In the total of the debt,
U allowance be made for the Increase
of $57,621,400 In gold certificates, the
national obligations will be shown tc
have been diminished by $12,340,888
during the fiscal year.
The bonds for circulation, which
were on Oct. 1, 1901, $330,693,180, fell
to $315,754,630 on June 4, 1902, rising
to $317,038,530 on June 30. On Oct.
1 they were $326,023,270, and on Nov.
1, $338,082,270. These changes show
a measure of elasticity In notes based
on bonds.
To the general stock money In the
country, an addition of $80,198,681 was
made during the fiscal year. Of this
$67,955,527 was In gold coin and bul
lion. There was also an increase of
$19,735,259 in standard dollars and of
67,360,991 in subsidiary silver; United
States notes remained under the law
unchanged, treasury notes fell oft
$17,783,000. National bank notes re
ceived an Increment of $2,851,589.
The gold coin and bullion Oct. 1 ex
ceeded all other kinds of money, ex
cluding national bank notes, by $200,-
368,433. In Ave years the ratio of gold
in the country to total circulation has
run up from 36.52 to 46.45 to the hun
dred. The growth In the volume of
money In circulation during the year
was $74.082,5.89, carrying the per capita
from $27.98 to $28.43.
The element of gold coin and gold
certificates was the largest part, and
the Increase reached $61,966,174 and
advanced from 40.30 per cent of the
total to 41.73 per cent. In silver of all
denominations including certificates
there was an increase of $25,226,146 ol
which $6,486,014 was in subsidiary
coin. Tho reduction In treasury notes
of $17,677,800 is due to their with
drawal.
The advance In circulation In the
volume of gold including certificates
within. 12 yeai:s, by the large sum of
$433,703,516, Is the measure of the
greater strength of our circulation.
Increased Output of Gold.
The addition during the past fiscal
year was $61,986,174. The Increase in
the future can hardly be less than $50,
000.000 to $60,000,000 a year.
The mines, the report says, are thus
confirming the gold standard, steadily
and invincibly, and H adds:
For the immediate present and
doubtless for a few ypars at least, the
inflow of gol.l will bo in such large
measure as to lift the volume of cur
rency to the highest level of all needs
of business. Our currency keeps more
than equal pace with the population."
On Juue 27 the gold certificates out
standing for the first time exceeded In
volume the United States notes and
were $347,179,089. By Nov. 1 they
werp 1367 078.569.
The gold In the treasury keeps Id
active circulation as currency the cer
tiflcates iiisued against it and moreovei
$346,681,018 In United 3tates notes
and $30,000,000 In treasury notes, 01
over $140,000,000 more than Its owe
value.
The question may well be considered
whether the United States notes may
not properly be turned by congress
Into geld certificates. They havt
much that quality already and thr
change could be gradually made as the
supply of the yellow metal takes on
greater proportions.
The demands of the people for notes
of small denominations have surprisec
the closest students of the currency.
The act of March 14, 1900, makes It
the duty of the secretary of the trea
ury to maintain the parity of value ol
all forms of money Issued or coined b
the United States with the gold stand
ard defined and fixed by that law. This
parity has been and Is now easily
maintained and ail kinds of govern
ment money are exchangeable with
each other.
The Inflow of gold, permitting the
free Issue of gold certificates of $2C
and upwards, is the key to this main
tenance of parity and Interchangeabil
Ity of all kinds of government money
On the other hand small dcnomlna
tions, Including silver coin, are con
stantly in demand for the myriad trans
actions of retail trade and the cur
rent uses of rural communities, as wel'
as for pay rolls in furnaces and fac
tories and harvest fields.

as adviser to the foreign office. Gen
eral Manning has assumed command
of the British Somaliland expedition
Three thousand men will begin to ad
