NeVer was there a more orderly op ening of tobacco markets than took place on the warehouse floors of the growers’ association throughout South Carolina. With the precision of clock work the machinery of the big co-op erative plan moved into action without a hitch, and orderly marketing was at tained at their first day's trial.

Postponement of further controvert -until next spring, by which time the proposed Investigation will be com pleted. it was reported that President A. “M. Ogle of the National Coal associa tion was favorable to this plan and that Senator McKinley had advices that the Illinois operators were In- •cllned to enter such an agreement. Governoi* McCray’s effort to reopen Indiana mines under military guard proved more of 'a gesture than an ac complishment. Very little coal was produced during the week and most of the men employed deserted, fearing tor their lives. The governor Intlmat- . ed thatJf all other plans for averting a fuel famine In the state failed, con vict labor would be employed to get ' out coal under martial law. On the other hand, the Impeachment of Mc Cray for sending troops Into the coal dield waa demanded by a mass meet ing of strikers and union labor'men at Terre Haute.

C HICAGO’S street cars and elevated trains were running again Monday after the six-day strike which cost the employees and companies some $1,200,000 and the business Industries of the city many millions more. The compromise reached provides for a reduction of 12% per cent in wages; S EVERAL important changes were made In the MeOumber tariff bill hy the senate last week. After lis tening to charges by Senator Smoot that American sugar refiners, who con trol the bulk of the Cuban sugar pro duction, are trying to destroy Ameri can producers, the senate adopted his amendment by which the duty is raised to 2J30 cents a pound on full duty sugar, and to 1.84 cents on Cuban sugars. The McCumber bill rates were 2 cents and 1.66 cents, respec- Uyely. At the demand of the agri cultural spokesmen, the senators al most unanimously voted to restore potash to the free list. Next the sen ate, despite the arguments of western agriculturists, voted to keep hides on the free list and pla&d in the duty free column bootq and shoes, leather of cattle hides, harness and sad dlery and gloves of cattle hides. 'The duty on satchels, belts and boxes and C *s of leather waa made 30 per cent ead of 40, aa In the McCumber bill. uuwd aa aa- 1 *4v* la fart I.

Mew up a railroad bridge, and blocked the entrance to Cork hnrltor hy sinking barges In the narrow channel. They thus hoped to head off tlie attack of the nationals on Cork, to which they retreated. The Free Staters, however, landed at sev eral points and the fight for Cork was under way at last reports. The Ir regulars also seriously Interrupted cable communication between Ameri ca and Europe by seizing the Irish coast landing places of ten of the seventeen lines between the conti nents. It was feared they would de* stroy these plants. Joseph O’Sullivan and Reginald Dunn, the murderers of Field Mar shal Sir Henry Wilson, were hanged In London, all pleas In their behalf having been denied by the English courts and officials.

A MONG the train wrecks mentioned. In the discussion of' the shop men's strike, the worst was near St Louis, Mo., when a steel coach pas senger train on the Missoari Pacific, running past the block signals, col lided with the rear of a local train.
