Mild weather is still complained of as affecting .retail trade In seasonable goods juch .as,, clothing, shoes, rubber footwgar and kindred lines. At some cities the usual January reduction sales were held In De cember, In many Instances occurring be fore Christmas. Jobbing trade was quiet till after the latter date, when the usual clearance, sales cf wash and other dress fabrics were made, arousing, a fair amount of interest. Wholesale, business has been quiet and both this line and the jobbing trado note the receipt of many requests to delay shipment of goods. Industrial llnes.-are quieter. very. gen eral shutting down for the holidays being noted and the textile trades, especially, have shown a tendency to further curtail. One Item In this line has been the reported agreement of nearly 80 per cent of the New Kngland cotton spindles to reduce or curtail production for the next sixty or ninety days. The Iron and steel trade Is rather quieter, also, and the, first cuts In finished steel are noted In a reduction of steel bars to the extent of 12 "per ton, coincidentally and despite a general slow ing down of furnace output, southern Iron is being ottered at lower prices, while Bessemer Iron Is over $1 lower.

NEW TORK, Dec. . 27.-Discussing the "physical needs of scholars, athletes and the average man," before the Society of College Gymnasium Directors at Columbia university today. Dr. Dudley A.

"If scholarship men cannot fee Induced to take time to' lmrpove their physique for fear of lowering their college standing," said Dr. Sargent, "then make physical training a part of the curriculum and Klv them credit for their standing In their physical work."

NEWLANDS APPEALS TO TAFT Nevada Senator Makes Another II e -Quest to Have Troopa Star In Goldfleld. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 27.-Senator Newlands of Nevada Is endeavoring to prevent a ' wlthdrawaT'of the-government troops from Goldfleld until some other means of protection Is had. Today he called' upon Secretary Taft at the War department and.aUosgly urged that, the execution the TyroW Issued by the sec retary for the withdrawal of the troops next Monday .be suspended until he has had VB; JlPPPcVinjQ communicate with Governor Sparki'tuid endeavor to induce him to call the Nevada legislature to gether. Secretary Taft has been advising with Secret sif Root, on this subject and it is probalble that the president will be communicated with at Pine -Knob. There Is every disposition to, refrain from breaking In upon his privacy at this time and the. only excuse- for doing so' Is found in the fact that unless the original order Is modified the troops must leave Gold field next Monday morning and before the president returns to Washington. t Administration officials feel that the present situation' In the matter of Gold field's case cannot , be continued In view of the doubt that exists as to the con stitutional and legal right of the execu tive to employ any part of the regular army in Nevada under present conditions. Governor Sparks' attention has been re peatedly called to the fact that this con stitutional doubt might be removed by the simple device of calling together the state legislature, when 'that body could either give Its warrant to the use of the federal troops or provide by legislation for rais ing a state force of some kind, either militia or police, sufficient to Insure the maintenance of peace and the observance of law in Goldfleld. It Is believed that Senator Newlands' appeal today Is an Indication of the 'willingness of the gov ernor to recall his' refusal to convene the legislature In session and If this belief is well founded the government troops would probably be retained at Goldfleld until some other arrangements can be made.

Coyote Haatlngr Beromea General. BH08HONI. Wyo., Dec. 17. (SpeclaL) The pursuit- of coyotes with packs of hounds U getting to be quite a fad among some of the townspeople. The dogs most commonly used-are a mongrel kind of grey hound, but there are generally several dogs In each pack of some more savage breed such as the Russian wolfhound, the greyhounds being rather Inclined to timid ity." A coyote stands a small chance when pursued by a mixed pack of trained dogs, generally a greyhound being the first to overtake the coyote and. be prooeeds to harass him until the balance of the pack catches up, when the coyote Is speedily finished. A heavy bounty is offered on the pelts by a local stock association as well as by the county, their depredations having been unusually severe of late.

The fog was bo thick that the engineers of the two trains were running cautiously ami-Just outslda the station the Atlantic train was signalled to stop. The engineer of the Pemberton- train failed' to see the Atlantic City train In time to avoid a col lision, but he Instantly Jammed his brakes down hard when It loomed up through the fog. Tho sudden Jolt forced the tender of the Pemberton train Into the first car, wrecking it badly and either killed or In Jured everybody in the coach. The train, however, did not come to a full stop, but slid Into the rear of the Atlantic City ex press, .causing the tender to further tele scope the first car. The force of the col lision was slight and no one was Injured on the forward train. Hot coals from the wrecked locomotive of the Pembertoh train "set the wreckage on fire and It was at first feared that many of the injured passengers who were pinioned under the heavy twisted Iron and wood would be burned to death, but the prompt action of the Camden fire department In extinguishing the flames and tlie efficient rescue work of the uninjured passengers undoubtedly saved many lives. Borne of the Injured may die. ASK LAW TO PROTECT WHALES Prof. Wrlland Says There is Dnnsrer of Extermination -Tardea Are Disappearing-. NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Dec. 27.
