SEEK TO POPULARIZE SOUTH
Railroad Men Alarmed at Emi

( States.
CHICAGO, Oct. 24. Tbs subcommittee ot
the southwest lines to arrange for colonisa
tion of their territory held a meeting In
Chicago today, those present being: John
Sebastian, Rock Island; Brian Snyder, St.
Louis It San Francisco, and Oeorge T.
Nicholson, Santa Fs.
It was decided to recommend that George
De Haven, formerly general passenger
agent of ths Chicago ft West Michigan
railroad,' be made general emigration agent
of the Southwestern bureau. Ha was pres
ent at the meeting and suggested that
agencies be established In all eastern states
and in Europe.
The rate will probably be fixed at one fare
plus $2 for the round trip, although at the
present time lower rates are being made
to Texas owing to a war between the
Southern Pacific snd the Missouri, Ksnsas
Texas.
Heretofore emigrants have been going
almost exclusively to the northwest, owing
to the low rates offered by the Northwest
ern lines. Much of this business, It is be
lieved, can be diverted to the Southwest,

ST. PAUL, Minn,, Oct. St. Ths testimony
of E. N. Saunders, prssldent of the North

Mr. Saunders' testimony was mainly on
ths effect ot tbs purchase of the Burlington
by tbe Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific on ths shipment ot coal.
He said there wsa considerable difficulty
In getting enough bituminous coal from
tbe eastern states on account of the lnabll
lty of the railroads to handle a sufficient
quantity. The bituminous supply most
available for the Northwest was In Illinois
The advantage of the ownerahlp of the
Burlington by tbe coast roads wsa that
It enabled coal to be shipped through St.
Paul to the northwest without trans-ship
ment, which saved time and charges and
prevented waste and insured the customer
a competent supply.
The ssving to ths customer through this
arrangement he estimated at 26 per cent
and he thought It will result in the lo
cation of mors Industries in that region.

Oirl Who Sold Bottle Holder Cannot
Identify the Purchaser.
ESTIM0NY FAVORABLE TO M0UNEUX
Goes on Stead for Plate and Admits
he Demanded One Handrrd and
Fifty Dollars for Her
Evidence.
NEW TORK. Oct. 24. The defense In the
Mollneux trial again claimed an advantage
today when Miss Emma Miller, the woman
who sold ths silver bottle holder which
accompanied the poison package sent to
Harry CornUh, testified positively that
Mollneux was not tbe purchaser.
Much of today's session wss devoted to
the examination of a handwriting expert,
who was positive thst the address on the
poison package, the three Cornish letters
on Interlaced crescent psper, the. Barnet
letters snd letters admitted to have been
written by the defendant were all written
by the sains hand.
Charles C. Hughes ot the Knickerbocker
club testified that Cornish had made somo
scurrilous remarks about Mollneux, which
witness repeated to Mollneux. Charges
were mad against Cornish, but they were
not sustained.
When Emma Miller, tbe clerk in tbe store
In Newark where the silver bottle holder
waa bought had taken the stand Mr. Os
borne wanted her examination deferred un
til Monday, giving as a reason that he had
not seen the witness for nearly three years;
that bs wished to talk over her testimony
before examining her. The court, however,
directed thst abe be examined now.
Cannot Identify Purchaser.
Miss Miller said she sold the bottle bolder
submitted to ber, but doubted If she could
recognize the person to whom she sold it.
She admitted she had demanded $150 before
she would give her testimony.
Miss Miller said, replying to ex-Governor
Black, that she remembered selling tbe
bottle holder In question on December 21,
1898. She sold It to a man with gray eyes
and a sandy besrd. She was quits surs
Mollneux was not the man. After ex-Governor
Black was through Mr. Osborne ex
plained that Miss Miller was a "witness
of necessity" snd he did not believe the
prosecution should be bound entirely by
her testimony and be barred from cross-
examination upon testimony elicited from
tier by the defense.
Justice Lambert held that the prosecu
tion might show that Miss Miller bad not
always been certain about her ability to
say that tho defendant was not the man
who bought tbe holder.
Mr. Osborne asked the witness if sbe
had not duly recorded that she might have
been able to Identify the purchaser two
days after ths purchase was made, but
that she had been so upset by the news
paper notoriety that sbe could not remem
ber anything.
Mlas Miller said It was practically cor

New Witness In Case.
Edward Bhrhardt, a boy In the store
where Miss Miller Is employed, testified
that be wrapped up the bottle bolder and
banded It to the purchaser, he Is a new
witness In tbe esse. The boy refused to
attend previous trials and said he wss paid
bis expenses for appearing today. He could
not recognize the purchaser.
John F. Tyrell of Milwaukee, the hand
writing expert, was the next witness.
Each of the Jurors was, at this point fur
nished with a book containing the photo-
graphlo reproductions of all the written ex
hibits in ths case. Prof. Tyrrell told In
great detail of the methods he bad employed
In studying and comparing all tbe disputed
and conceded handwriting.
Witness testified that he had examined
the three Cornish letters and the address
on tbe poison package and gave a positive
opinion that all were by the same hand.
Have you compared the address on the
wrapper with the Barnet letter?" Osborne
asked.
I have. I find that one hand wrote all,"
replied witness.
Tyrrell was still under examination when
ths court adjourned.

Governor Stone Isanea Directions (or
Withdrawal of Soldiers from

HARRISBURG. Pa.. Oct. 24. General or
ders for the withdrawal of the troops In the
anthracite coal regions wers Issued by Gov
ernor Stone to Major General Miller today.
The orders do not state tbe time and man
ner ot withdrawing the troopa, but It Is
expected that the stats authorities will

exception ot two or three regiments, betors

This will avoid ths necessity of appointing
a commission to each regiment to take the
votes of tbe soldiers in the field and tbe
preparation of special form of ballots.

here thst not 50 per cent of the men who
went out when the mine strike was de
clared in ths Lykens valley region will get
their places back and that only a small
number have started work. Others will be
given employment, but the coal company
has refused to dlschsrge those wbo took
tbe plsces ot men who struck. Ths miners
sre incensed at this action by the company
snd there Is a feeling ot unrest la ths

order to the effect that only a limited
number ot men will be re-employed and that
It will not discharge the men who hav
taken the place of the strikers.
Konnnton Men Leaving.
WILKKSBARRK, Pa., Oct. 24. There
were twenty-two more mines In operation
in ths anthracite region today than yes
terday and the output will be cIobs to
100,000 tons. From reports received, tbe
total output yesterday did not exceed 75,000
tons. When in full operation tbe mines
employ In every capacity about 145,000 men
and boya. Of this number it Is estimated
that 82,000 were at work today.
A mors amicable feeling prevailed be
tween employer and employe than yester
day. The excitement over the commence
ment ot work wore oft somewhat and
there waa more work and less talk.
The nouunlon men, despite what may be
said to the contrary, are being slowly dis
placed at many of the mines snd the old
employes are taking their places.
The Delaware, Lackawanna A Western
company continues to lead in production.
There are two reasons for this. First, the
mines are in good condition and there
is less friction between the district super
intendents and the men who have returned
to work. Tbe work of clearing up thoae
mines that are filled with debris from
falls is being pushed forward as rapidly
as possible, and the tact that they are not
In readiness to operate is a great disap
pointment to the mine ownera. Ex-Congressman
M. B. Williams, one of the largest
Individual operators In the Wyoming re
gion, said hia mines would not bs In read
iness to resume before next week, but he
would take back all his old employes, in
cluding steam men, because they bad served
him faithfully in the past The trouble
with the Individual operators In the Lehigh
region Is expected to blow over In a day
or two, and it Is said here on good au
thority that all collieries in the Lehigh
and Schuylkill regions that are in condi
tion to mine will resume next Monday, and
that all tbe union miners will be re
employed.'" The mine inspectors are vigi
lant and tbeyhov refused to give per
mission to start 'mines whers ths superin
tendents cannot furnish satisfactory proof
that the workings ars perfectly safe.
President Mitchell continues reticent snd
refuses to bs quoted on any move made
by the operators, either regarding the
treatment of the old employes or the ad
vanced price ot coal. The evidence which
he will present to the arbitration commis
sion Is now being arranged In systematic
form. When Mr. Mitchell was asked to
day regarding the published report that
there was some doubt whether he would
be permitted to sppear on behalf of the
miners, he said he presumed tbe miners
could select any counsel they saw fit. He
pledged himself before the miners conven
tion at the beginning of the week to pre
sent the case of the union before the board.
He haa received a call to Washington and
will leave here on Sunday afternoon.

He waa accused ot "scabbing" during ths

Kot Wanted as Boarders.
8CRANTON, Pa., Oct. 24. All ths mining
companies in this region reported today
large additions to their working forces.
The Imported workman was a decidedly
minus quantity. Superintendent Ross, of
ths Delaware ft Hudson company, which
operates thirty plants, said ha did not know
of a single "import" still In the company's
smploy. Other superintendents said very
few remained. Tbe few "Imports" still re
malnlng are thoss wbo have been boarding
In Scranton, and who have been taken to
and from work in trains. : After tomorrow
they will be put to tbs well nigh imposalbs
tssk of sscurlng boarding houses In tbs
mining towns in which they work, ss ths
coal companies will cut oft ths work train
on Monday. This, It is thought, will bs as
effective In driving them away, as the abol
Itlon of the commissary department was In
forcing out others wbo were being cared
for within tbe colliery stockades.
Tbe companies , ars not dismissing any
nonunion man, but the most careful in
quiry falls to discloss a single Instance
of atrenuous effort on ths part of sny
compsny to force sn Import" to remain.
The fact that the Imported men hav
quit the coal -regions made possible
tbs order of Governor Stone, directing
that tbs soldiers be withdrawn "as fast
as tbe conditions would permit."
Sheriff Scnadt went to Wllkesbarre to
night and told General Gobln that he was
satisfied to reassume the responsibilities ot
taking care of Lackawanna county from
now on. .
8HAMOKIN, Pa.. Oct. 24. Thirty thous

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. The report of
Englneer-in-Chlef Melville says the per.
sonncl set has proved to be a failure and
one-balf of tbe navy officers have yet to be
convinced ot the benefits ot amalgamation.
Still, Admiral Melville thinks it the law
were administered with a desire to make
It a success It would give the most effi
cient navy in the world. To that end he
wants an engineering laboratory at An
napolis, like that at Charlottenburg, Ger
many, to educate young line officers In
engineering. He also ask for a post
graduate course In engineering at the
academy; that promotion be denied line
officers who do not take their turn at en
gineering; that 100 additional warrant offi
cers be appointed.
The proposed use of petroleum ss a sub
stitute for coal on shipboard is trested at
length.
The following Is an extract from tho re
port on this subject:
The more this Question Is investigated
the more Intricate seems the problem of
uccessfully Installlnc an oil fuel appliance
on board a battleship. For the army trans
port aervlce It mignt prove very aesiranie.
since a supply of oil could be maintained
at the several calling ports.
In regard to Installation on tne inrge
battleships and armored orulscrs there are
three distinct features which must be con-
1.... J .U ... 1. .. n . .. n 1 ..nmmurnlal .ml
the structural. Regarded from two of these
viewpoints It seems as If it would be some
time before "coaling ship" ceased to be an
evolution upon the war vessel.
Mast Atomise the Oil.
Tbe first line of inquiry by tbe board
which conducted the recent experiments
was tbe engineering or mechanical feature,
Involving tbs possibility ot successfully
burning oil for steam purposes, and tbe
report says this problem is near solution,
it having been found necessary to atomize
tbe oil. Instead of using it with pressure.
It the air blast should be heated with soms
simple form, tbs experiments show that It
would be possible to force the combus
tion of oil to ths same extent as coal.
Treating of the commercial aspects ot
the Investigation, tbe report makes the
following statements:
It miv be regarded aa certain, except
where unubual conditions prevail, that the
cost of oil for marine purposea will gen
erally be greater than coal. While the
question of cost should be of secondary Im
portance in military matters, it must De
taken into consideration. It ia the cost ot
transportation that will always prevent oil
from being a cheap combustible.
Want Devices Installed.
But in spite ot this and other objections
the board says:
The bureau haa no hesitation, however.
In declaring that in view of the reaulte al
ready secured, an installation snouia De
effected on at least a third of the torpedo
beats and destroyers. The junior officers
of the service are very much interested in
the matter, and If Several boats are
equipped entirely with oil fuel a spirited
but friendly rivalry will be created which
will result In a material Increase In the
efficiency of the torpedo boat flotilla. Such
an installation would also permit a com
petition to be established between the boata
using coal ana mose using' on, ana hub
would be another Incentive to systematic
and careful study of the subject.
Finally, summing up the results ot tbe
Important experiments made, the report
conoludes ss follows:
A That oil can bs burned In a very uni
form manner. "
B That the evaDoratlve efficiency or
ntarly every kind of oil per pound of com
bustible is probably the same. While crude
oil may be rich in hydrocarbons, it also
contains sulphur, but distilled oil probably
has the same caionno ertect as ins cruue
product.
o-rnat a marine steam generator can do
fcrced to even as high a degree with oil ss
with coal.
D That ud to the oresent time no 111
effects have been ehown upon the boiler.
E That the firemen are disposed to raver
oil, and therefore no Impediment would be
met in this respect.
F That the air required for combustion
should be heated It possible before entering
the furnace. Such action undoubtedly as
sists the gasslticatton of the oil product.
a The oil should be nested so mat 11 can
be atomized reallly.
H When uslnn steam hltth nressures are
more advantageous than low pressures for
atomizing the on.
1 mat under neavy xorcea aran condi
tions, and particularly when steam has
been used the board has not found it pos
sible to prevent smoke from issuing from
tne stacK, aitnougn ail connected witn me
terts made special efforts to secure com
plete combustion. Particularly for naval
purposes it is desirable that the smoke nui
sance be cadlcated. In order that the pres
erve of a warship may not be detected.
J That the consumption or liquid rjei
cannot probably be forced to as great an
extent with steam aa ine atomising agent
aa when compressed air is used. This may
be from the fact that the air used for com
pressing purposes after entering the fur
nr.ee, supplies oxygen for the combustion,
while in the rase of steam the rarlffed
vapor simply displaces air that Is needed
to complete combustion.
K The trial has shown that there Is
little or no advantage In favor of any par.
tlcular form of burner. The method and
character of the Installation will count fur
much, but where burners are simple in
design and are constructed in accordance
with scientino principles mere win De very
little difficulty in their efficiency. Consum
ers should see that they do nut purchase
arpHancea that have been untried and have
been designed Dy persons wno nave had
but limited experience 10 operating oil oe

twice their natursl size. I often fainted
awsy with tbe pain, frequently . several
times during the day. Sometimes they
thought I was dead. Tbe rheumatism bad
affected my heart and that was tbe causo
ot the tainting spells. It Was impossible
for me to take any solid food and there
were days and days when not even a spoon
ful ot liquid would stay on ray stomach.
'When the doctor had given me up my
father determined to have me try Dr. Wtl-'
Hams' Tlnk rills for Pale People. So he
got some snd I could feel an Improvement
sfter the first tew dose. Little by little
I began to get better and a faithful courss
with these pills restored me to health.
That was nearly five years ago. Now I am
twenty and in the beet of health. I am surs
thst Dr. Williams' Pink rills saved my
life."
