MOODY , URGES FREE (OAL Eaji Anthracite Should fie Immediately Placed on free List, DUTY IMPOSED BY ACCIDENT, NOT DESIGN eaate Made Chaaae la eh Maaaer that Members Did Not Notice, aad So Fasaed Bill la la-ae- LAWRENCE. Mass., Oct. 81. W. H. Moody, secretary of the 'navy, spoke here tonight. He said: In a SDeerh st Madison I stated that nder the Dlnglry law there waa pract Ic ily a dutv on anthracite, which was in- dvertently placed In the act. Both state ments have been challenged. Amnracue for some time prior to ins passage of the Dingley law was free of duty. As that bill left the house anthra- ite was- still en tha free Het. but certain changes were made in the senate which Itered the situation and tha senate amend ments finally became law. I'aragraph 62S places upon the freo lint "coal and anth racite not specially provided for in this act." The Qualification contained In the latter words was inserted for the first time and Its meaning becomes clear when we look t psrasraon 417. in Which a tl-cent per ton duty is Imposed upon "coal, bitumi nous, and all coals containing less than M per cent of fixed carbon." It Is sufficiently clear that these two paragraphs are to be construed torether and that the only an thracite which la free of duty Is that which contains m per cent or more ot fixed car bon. We are thus broueht to the Inairlrv. What part of anthracite does contain ss much as H2 per cent or nxea carbon 7 To my mind that Inquiry admits of but one answer, and that la that there la substan tially none. Pennsylvania anthracite contains . as much fixed carbon as any deposit In the world, yet none ef It contains 90 per oent fixed carbon, and some of it runs as low as TO per cent. ine result or xne application or tne law to tho facts shows that whilst anthracite Is nominally on tha free list, it Is really upon the dutiable list. In savins that the tariff taxlna anthra cite was Inadvertently adopted by . con gress I am aware of the fact that a brief debate-occurred In the senate. I had read that debate before making any statement upon tne subject, but a debate in the senate, conducted as such debates often sre, with haruiy a person present except those participating In It and not referred to by committee report, la aa effectually concealed in the Congressional Record as It could be In any place in the world. i ne great roay ot tne people ana tne members ot the Fifty-fifth congress, which nacted tne jDlngley law assumed that an thracite continued upon the free list, as upon a cursory reading appeared to be the case. Many of our public men have aa serted that anthracite was upon the free list, it is owing to tne obscure method or making anthracite dutiable, and the mis leading language, l oo not say intention ally misleading, by which thla eWect was accomplished that I have spoken of the provision aa being Inadvertently inserted. It Is but Justice to say that the anthracite miners did not ask ror this duty, and, aa I view the situation, it waa Inserted at the request of the owners of mines ot bitumi nous coal of an interior quality on the Pa cific slope. I have no hesitation In saying that the Imposition of the anthracite duty Is a mis- Ke ana mat at tne nrsi opportunity it hould be repealed. The republican party has a record so full of useful achieve ments that It should hsve no reluctance whatever In acknowledging a mistake now and then. BAR POLITICS hN" OFFICE Civil Service Commission Says Hale Shoald Bo Eaforeed with Mederatloa. WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. The report of the United States civil service commission for the last fiscal year has been submit ted to the president. It anpounces sub stantial progress in the competitive sys tem and general observance ot the civil service law. ( " : : The Inclusions In the competitive sys tem during the year were the rural free delivery service, a considerable 'portion of the field services of the War depart ment, the census office . permanent em ployes and the employes appointed because ot Increased work during the war with Spain. There were 62,029 persons examined for places and 14,983 persons appointed, rein stated or transferred, a Urge Increase over any" preceding year. The commission recommends legislation applying the competitive system to the District of Columbia. A revision ot the rules to supplant the present obsolete pro visions and the disjointed arrangement of numerous amendments will soon be sub mitted to the president. Regarding political activity of office holders ths report says: In the claaalfled service, where the choice 1s made without reference top political con siderations ana tenure ot omce is unarrectea by the change of parties, it Is perfectly practicable to provide that the officer ahould not take an active part In political campaigns, just aa a Judge, an army officer or a soldier is asoarrea. in tne case or officers sppolnted upon political considera tions, the proper limitations in the present state of public opinion sre different. They must not coerce the political action of their subordinates. They must not use their ofnoe to control political movements or in fluence the result of elections; they must not neglect their public duties, nor cause oubllo scandal by their activity. The commission believes that the etand- arda here adopted are. the highest which are practicable at the present time. It Is obviously unwise to apply the same rule to a postmaster la a small village, who has no employee to Intimidate, aa to the head of a great federsl office, who may, even by hla mere example, coerce and Intimidate hundreds ot bis subordinates.

Their approval of its methods of dis ciplining Its members. 4. Their views concerning the reasonable ness and conservativeness ot its. otneers. Mr. Justt, in his reply, said up to this time the anthracite strike commission had not called for any testimony from the bltu mlnous operators In Illinois; and the asso elation had decided that none should be given until called for by the commission. Mr. Justl . added that should the anthra cite commission find it necessary to formu late a series of questions the operators will give the compoelte opinion of all and will speak through their association. It would, in Mr. JusM's opinion, be dis courteous to the president and the commis sion appointed by him to anticipate In any way any questions they might ask.

WILMINGTON, N. C. Oct. 31. Frank A. Vanderlip, sounded a note of warning la an address delivered here tonight. Without being pessimistic, he urged a more con servative management ot American Indus try, foreseeing In present methods the pos sibilities ot future losses and humiliation. After referring to some features of the commercial and industrial development ot the country, he said: I am lust back from another European trip and found in every capital and In the iiiiiiu ui aimusi every Ktfa uunrrrer ui mi fairs a belief that we have for the present reached the hlgh-wster mark of our over- now ot exports into Europe, instead ot the credulous belief in the unlimited possi bilities of our development of a year ago, there Is today a feeling of grave conserva tlara and anxious Interest In our future.

They note, too, that in spite of the tremendous balance of trade which government reporta showed In our favor we do not seem to have any unususl com mand upon International credits. if we are honest we must admit that tne edge is off our invasion of foreign mar kets. Our totals sre etlll colossal, but the rate of increase which they were making has been checked, and decreases have been recorded. Our exports of manufactures for the year Just closed were 130,000,000 less than two years ago. Our total exports of domeatio merchandise fell off more than Jino.OiiO In the year. - ; AiiBvcmu v. i var iii 1 1 um i t. . . . vj made some large Increases in our pur chases of foreign goods, and the total for this year stands more than 300,000,000 above IBW. we have had an expansion of 11.300.000 in national bank deposits since the beginning of 1KW, while the basle of gold and legal tenders upon which that Inverted pyramid stsnds Is actually allghtly smaller than it waa then. At the same time deposits of other banks have probably Increased not far rrom w.uuu.uiu.uw, ana mere is little likelihood thai their gold reserve Is ma terially larger than at the beginning of 1899. We have had, then, in less than rour years an Increase 'in the total bank de posits of 4,000,ooo,000, accompanied by no ncrease In the specie and! legal lender holding of those banks, , . Traste Help Possible Disaster. The principal reason for the expansion of deposits and loans is the movement to ag gregate industrial establishments into single great corporate unit. ' Another important . innuenco nas oeen the vast expenditures of corporations for the Improvement of their property. It must be admitted, I believe, that we have been converting too great aa amount of liquid capital into flxed lorme ot invest ment. The cure is, of course, to reduce the expenditures ot that character so that they will come within the line of safety. What is the line" of aafety? , It Is some thing well within the Income from such Investments. We have the choice! of one of two things either to prattles wise discre tion or to go on borrowing on the future. The first course is consistent with con tinued prosperity; ,the second will bring confusion, disorder and paralysis of the whole constructive Investments I do not wish to present an alarming view. I wish merely to sound a conserva tlvs note of wsrnlng. I believe there are elements of possible danger in the situa tion. , On the other hand. I by no means forget the long list ot favorable conditions upon the opposite elde of tho account.

ST. PAUL. Minn.. Oct. 31. Judge San born, In the United States circuit court of appesls, todsy refused to grsnt an appeal from the decision of Judge Caldwell In the United States circuit court for the district of Colorado, who ordered a meeting of the stockholders of the Colorsdo Fuel and Iron company, to be held on December 10, for the annual election of directors and cfflcers. The appeal was sought by George F. Bsrtlett, one ot the stockholders of the company. A writ of supersedeas frsra the interlocutory order ot Judge Caldwell staying all proceedings until the matter could be reargued In court, was also asked. A stipulation by which an order granting aa appeal and writ could be filed In Den ver on Saturday, should the court so de cide, hsd been arranged between the op posing attorneys and today arguments In the rase were heard at- length. The point upon which Judge Sanborn based his decision arose late in the after noon, when the arguments were almost completed. The attention of the court was cslled by A. M. Stevenson of Denver, to a paragraph In the brief submitted wherein It wss stated that on October 8, the plain tiff had petitioned Judge Caldwell to grant an appeal and writ of supersedeas snd that the Judge had denied It, upon the ground that the order made by the court was not final, and was therefore not ap pealable. Judge Sanborn said It wss a common rule among federal judges in co-ordlnats offices not to reverse decisions made by their fellow judges, of the same court, un less some gross error on the part of the other judge could be shown. Continuing, he said: The question Is not whether a review of the case ahall or shall not be had at some future time, but whether the review shall be ordered at this time. An order waa secured on August 20 In the state court of Colorado, prohibiting the holding of a meeting of the directors at any time for any purpose. The order of the judge of the United States circuit court so far dissolved this injunction as to permit and direct a meeting of the directors to he held for the election ot omcers on December 10. He cited authority to show that a recent revision of the lew deprived the circuit court of appeals of the power to grant appeals from the decision of another Judge; In which an order refusing to dissolve sn Injunction had been made, and held that It was applicable In this esse, and refused the application for an appeal and writ.

The trouble began with a severe pain In the legs and the physician at that time said It waa muscular rheumattsdi. He gave me medicine, which I took for some time without seeing any Improvement. The pain continued and W strength kept ebbing away. I noticed that I ' was not as agile it I used to be and could not catch and climb a moving car as readily as I once did. Then came my narrow es cape and I gave tip work. "A different physician this time said I had locomotor ataxia, but I only grew worse under his treatment.
