Stanley Wntcrloo, tho newspnper mnn who is now devoting himself al most entirely to Authorship, has re cently beaten tho record in a book for publication. A Chicngo publisher, relates the Atlnntio Consti tution, sent for Mr. Waterloo nnd asked him whether ho could have a book on tho Coxey movement rendy for press in four days. Mr. Water loo being a well-equipped journalist, full of resonrces, nud knowing not the word "fail," said he conhl This was on a Monday morning. The publishor snid "go ahead," and gave him carte Llonce as to expenses. A staff of writ ers wns organized, specialists were en gaged for the historical part of the work, photographers took tho field, typewriters clicked day and night.and Mr. Waterloo himself hardly ate or slept The result was that on the fol lowing Thursday night tho "copy" for a book of over a hundred thousand words with forty illustrations was in the handB of tho printor. In studying tho statistics of manu factures just issued by tho census bu reau what strikes one most forcibly, observes W. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record, is the consolidation of inter ests. In nearly all lines of manufac ture the capital engaged, the number of men employed, the amount of raw matorial used and the value of tho product have been largely increased dring the last ten years, but there has been no corresponding increase in tho number of establishments, and in a great many cases tho number is much smaller than it was ten years ago. There were, for example, 1,943 factories making agricultural iinplo inonts in 1880, whilo in 1890 there wore only 900. The carpet mills de creased from 195 to 173, the chomical works from 592 to 603, tho cooper nhops from 8,898 to 2,052, the cordage and rope works from 1G5 to 140, the cotton factories from 1,005 to 905, tho flour mills from 24,3:18 to 18,470, the fron and steel mills from 1,005 to C45, the tanneries from 5,424 to 1,590, the distilleries from 844 to 440, the brew cries from 2,191 to 1,248, the lumber mills from 25,708 to 21,011, the paper mills from 092 to 5G7, the ship yards from 2,118 to 1,010, tho sonp nnd candle factories from C29 to 578, tho tobacco factories from 477 to 395, the woolen mills from 2,000 to 1,454. At the same time the product of all those industries has very largely increased in many cases two, three, four and five hundred per cent. Nor is tho value of the prod not in 1890, as compared with the value in 1880, a fair oriterion of measurement, for the reason thut everything is cheaper now than it was ten years ago. There is scarcely an article produced in the United Mates that cannot be pur chased at a lower price now than thon. It is unfortunate that the census of ficials did not make thoir estimate by quantities instaad of by values. It is also noticeable thut while the produc tive capacities of the United States have inoreuHed more than 100 per cent, during the last ten years, tho population has increased only about 25 per conk Tlie grent iuoreaso in production is duo to the invention of Jubor-utviug wtiouiuery, - MINERS AND OPERATORS.

The resolution was opposed by both Presi dent Mcllrido nnd Secretary Mclirido. Inas. much as they havo all along declared that they would consent only to a national settle ment of the strike, the resolution looks very much like a confession that the minors are beaten. DYNAMITE UNDER A TRAIN. Indiana Strikers Planned Sudden Death lor Militiamen. Striking miners put four pounds of dyna mite on the Evnusville ft Terre Haute track near Farmersburg, IS miles sout of Terre Haute, Ind., nni 15 minutes latter a train containing five coaches and 800 militiamen came along. The front wheels of the engine brushed the percussion fuse from the track, and one of the most sensational casualties in the state was averted. The dynamite party consisted of 12 men, who were waiting near by to see the result of their work. When the train passed over the fuse safely they scattcd and started across tho fields. The troops had been engaged In a brush with the minors half an hour before, and llrlgadler McKee, suspecting a trick bad the train bailed. Companies of soldier from Jeffersonvlllo, Vlncenncs and Terre Haute were sent after the retreating miners, nnd several soldiers came within a hundred yards ot some of them. One miner fired twice nt Major T. C. Stnn kard, of the First Iteglment, nnd the major emptied his revolver, Some of the soldiers flred at the dynamiters. As it had been re- f lotted that 600 miners were massed in the ocnlily, the troops were called back to their train. Charles Kesslck, of Company "A" of Vlncenncs, lost his hat in Jumping from the train In pursuit of the party of 12 and when he stopied to pick it up bciddo the track be saw the four pound sticks of the ex plosive with fuses. They were taken to Gen eral McKee and Assistant Adjutant Frank, who by examination confirmed the na ure ot the st lift. The dynamite had been placed nn the track whore it crosses the first trestle south of Farmersburg, nnd it seemed to be the intention of the parly to make the explo sive effective in destroying a portion of the train by the shock and in wrecking the re mainder ot it by ditching It over the shatter ed trestle. FIFTEEN MEN DROWNED. They' Were Coxeylte Desoenllns; the Platte River. At least IS members of the Denver contin gent of Coxey's army lost their Uvea by drowning in the Dntta Ttlver at ISrighton, Col. Four bodies have been washed ashore. The others were carried down the river. One man found drowned nt Brighton has boon Ideiitilled us Charles McCuuo, a Missourlan.a member ol tho Utah contingent. The Coxevites started off H00 strong in 20 boats which had been kullt of light mater ial. The storms had swollen tho stream, aud a very high wind made navigation ex tremely dangerous. It was McKays bridge, six miles above Brighton, thnt unused the most trouble. The Hood poured under it with tho spevd of a mill nice, and there, hidden by the stream, were bnrls'd wires stretched across to prevent stock from passing under tho bridge at low water. The wire caught many of the boats uud overturned them. About 250 men are now encamped beside the river at Brighton drying thulr clothes and recuperating. A large number of men sieut the night iu the trees along the bunks of the river, uud several wore left on Islands. A searching party was sent out to help these men.

Drive ont Non-Union Men, Destroy Property, Burn Coal Tipples and Run the City. At McKoosport the attempt of the National Tube Works Company (.start Its great mills Tuesday, filled the ell ywith riot and vio lence. All day long the mills, which nre near the center of the city, were surrounded by a frenzied mob of perhaps 10,000 men. They kept tho few workmen prisoner until nightfall, and then, when the men lnld tried to escape tojtheir homes, more thi n a score of them were badly beaten. The police fon-e of tho city and of thotnbe works were 1 e pies In tho hands of the wild mob. Several police officers wera roughly handled. The town at midnight was com paratively quiet. The Mayor rend a procla mation In tho evening, commanding all persons to disperse to their homo. The tubs works were not prepared for nn sssnult from a mob. No high fence encloses, tho grounds. Tho mills are open on all aide nnd when the yelling foreigners atdnrk made a dash for tho interior there was nothing to oppose them. Wcdnesdny the riotous scones continued nnd there was no abatement of tho hot temper ol tho mob that seemed to bo in possession of tho town. Tho entire lty appeared to lie In sympathy with the striking tube workers, and no attempt was made to stop them. The rioting and abuse of the men who returned to work Tuesday was followed by tho burning of coal tipples, the destruction of property nnd the driving ont of men employed at tho Dr.quesno Tubo Works. Whilo the strikers eom to have perfected no general organization, they take up with any leader that presents himself, and it only needs the word to set them oft on the lawless undertaking thnt Is proposed. Tho closing of the saloons by tho Mayor has licen regnrded as an excellent move by the citizens, a it Is certain If tho men had been able to procure liquor there would have been no limit to the destruction of property. Tno ranks of the mob continued growing every hour, as mnny of the striking eoal min ers from tho surrounding country camo marching into tho town to lend their assist ance In preventing any attempt to start the mills. Every railroad and higbwny running In was guarded by bodies of strikers, who kept n el. o watch for deputle or special of ficer. Numerous rumors reached the town that officers were on their way to tho sceno of tho disorder, nnd they were invariably fol lowed by tho wildest uproar. Oreat crowds took to tho roads over which they wero said to ho coming, and prepared to give them a desperate light. A great majority of the men wore armed with revolver, but did not carry them openly. Oenernl Vice President and General Man ager Converse, of tho National Tulie Works, in an interview placed the loss of the com pany at 410,000. Ho said tills had been caused by the shutting down of the gas pro ducer by tho strikers. He said this allowed 1H of the groat underground furnaces to cool down too rnpidly aud in consequence they bad cracked. Wodnesday a few hundred of tho strikers abandoned guard duty at the tube works long enough to cross the liver and destroy two coal chutes on the opposite side. Tho same party wont to Duquesne and compelled the men nt work there to eloso down the mill but no other violence wns offered. A mora exciting day was never knewn to tho people McKeesport. Tho crowd that formed a human wall about the SO acres of works, extended back in every direction through the adjacent streets, completely blocking them. A shout of laughter, or an alarm of the approach of a suspicious stranger, would start nn uproar that was positively alarming, and while the gathering shouted, it would sway bock and forth like a forest in a heavy wlnX Mnyor James Z. Andre Issued a proclama tion which was posted throughout the cltyt "All good citizens who are in favor of maintaining law and order In the City of McKeesport, are invited to assemble at the Mayors office at 7 o'clock this evening and be sworn in as special officers. The present conditions demand that the regular police force be assisted In enforcing tho luws of tho city and Common wealth." Not a solitary individual responded to tho call. REPUBLICANSTATE TICKET.
