Promising Trade Outlook New Lake Erie Harbor Trying to Settle French Coal Strike Four Men Suffocated n Sewer Colombian Rebels Sur render Imperial Cable. The anthracite coal commissioners appointed by the president have made a tour of the extreme upper coal field and seen every stop taken In the pro duction of coal from the time It la blasted from the ground up to the point where it is sent to market ready for use. After the party had been rigged out with rubber overshoes, overalls, jump era and mine caps and provided with miners' lamps, which they either car ried in their hands or fastened to their caps, the tlcsceut of the 1CU foot shaft was made. The arbitrators had an Interesting time at the Coalbrook 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 of 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 ders 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 large 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.

Frlck. A. W. Mellon and R. B Mellon of rittshurg; 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. 2D a deal was completed In Pittsburg whereby A. W. 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 eecret heretofore. This land lies only a short distance from the lines of tho 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 as follows: Men who had been receiving 16 rents an hour will receive 17 cents and men who had been receiving 1814 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 Loubet of France Is fol lowing the example set by Presi dent Roosevelt and Is taking an active part In settling the French coal miners' strike. He held an extended confer ence with 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 have given the prefect the names of foui persons who are to represent them In a conference with an equal number ol strikers. In a semi-official statement . President Loubet expresses tho hope for an early settlement of the strike and declares that this would be a po lltlcal accomplishment beyond prece Suffocated In Sewer. At Niagara Falls. N. Y., by a 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 Bewer. The tunnel trunk sewer recently Btruck a peculiar flow of water, boring a rein of rock from which 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. Assistant Recorder Neill was left be hind to receive the miners' statement from President Mitchell Monday. On Thursday. It Is expected the operators' counter statement will be presented. The commission will then take a recess until Friday, Nov. 14, by which time the two parties will be expected to have completed the preparation of their case3 and be ready to go on with the hearings. Colombian Rebels Surrender. The Colombian revolutionary gen eral, I'rlbe-Uribe, with 10 cannon, 2,500 rllles and 300,000 rounds of am munition, has surrendered to General Marjerres at Rio Frio, near Santa Marta, The surrender of Uribe-Urlbe Is said to complete the pacification of the de partments of Magdalena and Bolivar. The revolutionists now occupy the Isth mus only. There is much rejoicing at Colon and Panama over the success of Gen eral Majerres and especially over the capture of Uribe-Uribe. Overtures With Moroa. A telegram has been received from General Sumner at Zamboanga, Min danao, Baying he is disposed to give the Bacolod Moros more time in which to make peace before capturing and destroying their strongholds. Captain Pershing reports to General Sumner that many additional Moto leaders have come In and pledged friendship and support to the Ameri cans. These visits have been returned by the Americans who were cordially received by the Moros. Captain Persh ing Is urging the Moros to return to their abandoned fields and plant crops. James Stakes Decorated. James Stokes cf New York city has been invested at Paris with the cross of the Legion of Honor. Tho ceremony took place at the national jubilee of the Young Men's Christian association of France. Ex-Minlster Jules Siegfred made the presentation on behalf of President Loubet and Foreign Minister Delcasse amid en thusiastic cheering.

Increase of $16,000,000 In the Re ceipts From Customs But Internal Peenue Lower Due to Repeal of 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 says that the magnitude of the available cash balance und the unprecedented hold ings of gross gold are the striking feat ures of the condition 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 $91,287,376. In comparison with the previous year, there was a decrease of $25,207, 104 in the revenues, offset by a falling off of $381,776,495 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 $35,3m,541. There was a decrease of $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 cluding the public debt, were $1,062, 124,037, and the disbursements $969, 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 $150.0(10.000. The available cash balance in the treasury July 1, 1902, was the largest net balance In our history. It amount ed to $862,187,361. The gold reserve Is counted in as it Is available for the redemption of legal tender note3. The sums in national banks to the credit of the treasurer and disbursing Dfflcor were $127,190,056. The subsl diary silver, $11,462,533, and the minur xln, $019.4i4, could hardly be used for large payments, nor Is the silver bul lion to be reckoned for 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 the 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, If allowance be made for the Increase of $57,621,400 in gold certificates, the national obligations will be shown to have been diminished by $42,340,888 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, $.138.(182,270. 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 thla $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 off $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 five 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 $74,082,589. 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 certificate there was an increase of $25,226,146 of 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:8, 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 it adds: "For the Immediate present and doubtless for a few years at least, the Inflow of gold will bo In such large measure as to lift tho volume of cur rency to the highest level of all needs of business. Our currency keeps more than equal pace with the population." On June 27 the gold certificates out standing for the first time exceeded n volume the United States notes and were $34".1"9.0S9. By Nov. 1 they vow ijb, iiia.aoa. The gold In the treasury keep3 In active ciroulation as currency the cer tificates Itisued against It and moreovei $346,681,018 in United States notes and $30,000,000 In treasury notes, ot 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 the change could be gradually made as tht supply of the yellow metal takes on greater proportions. The demands of the people for notes of small denominations have surprised the closest students of the currency. The act of March 14, 1900, makes It the duty of the secretary of the treas ury to maintain the parity of value ol all forms of money Issued or coined b the United States with the gold stund ard defined and fixed by that law. This parity has been and Is now easily maintained and ail kinds of govern mcnt money are exchangeable with each other. The Inflow of gold, permitting the free issue of gold certificates of $2i and upwards, is the key to this main tenance of parity and interchangeabll Ity of all kinds of government money On the other hand small denomlna tlons, including silver coin, are con stantly In demand for the myriad trans actions of retail tra le and the cur rent uses of rural communities, as wel' as for pay rolls in furnaces and fac tories and harvest fields.
