Police Powerless to Preserve Order?Mayor Cali? For 1,000 Volunteers ? Federal Offi cials Prosecute Strikers/ 9 New Orleans, Oct. 7.-<The New Orleans Railway company today ait tempted to obey the order of the mayor to ran passenger cars this morning, and although the entire foree of city police was concentrated at the scene of action, only one carsucceeded in going five squares from the'Canal street barn. Fonr cars were started ont with non union motormen and conductors, each carrying 11 policemen, while 100 police s men were massecl in the vicinity, but when the first car reached Tonti street the strikers and their sympathizers made a rush for the car and secured * possession. The po'l?ce made no show of. resting the assault. Not a single striker was hurt. - F. H. Schwenck of Chicago, a non-union conductor, was badly injured and he with athree other non-union employes were bodily faken possession of by the strikers. A policeman was hifcon the foot by a brick and another of the non-union man** who was prisoner, wa sroughly handled but not badly hurt. N The cars were badly damaged by stones. The company informed the mayor that the police protection was inade quate>and this afternoon Mayor Cape ville issued a call for a thousand vol unteer citizen police. The responses to the call have, been few, and it ap pears that in the failure of the police protection the militia will be called out . The company says it will be ready to run cars if protection is given. Three arrests were made by the police during the day. ^Phe-four cars which were sent out by the company this morning left the Canal street barn at 7 o'clock in a procession and start ed up Canal street They were greeted with heots and yells by the crowd of strikers; in the immediate vicinity, but no violence was offered. Two blocks from the barn a large crowd was gathered and they made a dash for the first car. One man swung, on to the trolley rope and pulled the trolley 'down. The car ran a block and a half before it stopped. The stopping of this car stopped all the others and the strikers boarded them without any show of resistance. Some of the police drew revolvers but no shots were fired except one by a striker. Stones and bricks were showered on the cars and the crews of two of them carried off bodily. The trolley * ropes were also cut The company then made a play for fenderai interference by running out a mail car behind the others, and of course it could not get through. Ground was made for a charge of in terfering with the maiL By 10 o'clock all the cars bad been returned and the crowds of strikers had dispersed ex cept a few who were left on watch. Clark Bentley, a conductor, was arrested today on a charge by Post office Inspector Lake Jones of cutting trolley wires near Audubon park on Oct. L The fact that the federal officials have taken a hand has surprised them. An affidavit has also been made against D. ?dunisch for cutting wires, and the inspector says two other men were concerned in the crime. Bentley was released on $1,000 bond. The trial of the 16 strikers charged with interfering with mail care began before the United States commissionei ! and much evidenee was adduced agiainst all the officers, of the union who were in the vicinity. The trial was continued until tomorrow. FOR PUBLIC. SAFETY. The public safety committee has been in session most of the night dis cussing the strike situation rand mat ing preparations to uphold the mayor in his effort to prevent violence. This committee is a standing body made up of representatives of all the exchanges in the city. It owns a quantity of arms and ammunition which can be put in the hands cf a volunteer force when needed. CJp to 10 o'clock the mayor had sworn in only 25 special policemen as the re sult of his call for a thousand. To Remove Havana Dry Dock. Wsahington, October 7.?Secretaary Moody has decided to have the float ing dry dock at Havana transported to the Pensacola navy yard as soon as it can be made ready for the voyrage. Constructor Taylor at Havana has re ported that temporary repairs which will fit the dock for the short trip across the Florida straits to Pensacola can be made at the cost of a few thou sand dollars. Once at Pensacola the extensive dam age sustained through the collapse of the dock can be repaired at leisure. It was in contemplation to make these repairs at Havana, but the presence of this symbol of United States authority in the principal harbor of the island was annoying to the Cubans and the removal was ordered in d?f?r ?e ce'fto their feelings.5 c...* 2 ^ Coal For the Asylum. There are some folks here who can see further ahead and who have a bet ter idea for business than some of the great dealers. As far back as Arpil Dr. Babcock, superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, received a note from a coal dealer suggestion that coal was likely to go up ten cents a ton and that it was likely to continue to go up in price. He and Treasurer Bunch held a council of war and took the matter up to the board of regents, j and the result was that last April the State Hospital for the Insane placed its order for coal and long before the troubles, began hadsafely, stored away in its bins 700 tons of anthracite coal, which cost the'institution $5.35 deliv ered in the yard. It can readily be seen that the foresight of the officers of the Hospital for the Insane saved the State several thousands of dollars -and avoided a possible famine in getting coal with which to provide heat for the unfortunates who are in the care of the State. The demand for more room at the institution is growing every day., "The Hospital authorities have to decline to receive patients except as vacancies and removals occur. The buildings are crowded to i^eir utmost. The regents have just authorized the extension of a wing of the main building and run ning it up to a third story?it is now one \story. This will offer about twenty additional sleeping rooms, all of which are greatly needed. The A. C. L and the L & . Tnough the authoritative statement has not; been made, the opinion is held among railroad men and is be coming conviction in the minds of the public that the acquirement of the control of the L. . securities by the A. C. L.', does not mean th? ^nsolidation of these two systems in one. The probabilities are that the L. & N. will continue to be operated as an independent system retaining its present organization and officers. The Railway Age referring to the deal says : If, as seems to be the fact, the Atlantic Coast Line company has secured control of'the Louisville & Nashville, it is an unusual example of the less including the greater. The Atlantic Coast Line represented about 1,800 miles of road until Ji?ly last, by the absorption of the Plant lines,' the system was increased to about 3,600 miles, with an interest is 750 miles more. The Louisville & Nashville re presents 5,300 miles, with a - much greater capitalization, traffic-and influ ence than has heretofore., been exerted by the company which will now domi nate it. Should there be actual consoli dation it would make a system of more than 9,000 miles, operating in twelve states, and representing a capitaliza tion of some $250,000,000. It is pro bable, however, that there will be no consolidation, reorganization or loss of identity, and that the two sysems will be operated in harmnoy with each other and with the Southern, and without hostility to the Seaboard Air Line. The purchase of the L.. & N. means a further extension of the influence represented by J. P. Morgan & Co., already dominant in the South ern Railway system, which represents nearly 9,000 miles of lines, running through the same states as those served by other systems. Bryan Makes Strike Settlement Suggestions. Lincoln, Neb, October 6. ?In a state ment made this evening *W. J, Bryan says "President Roosevelt should be commended for his efforts to settle the miners', strike. He suggested, howev er, .that since the operators decline to arbitrate, the President's hands are tied and urges him to call an extra session of Congress. Five measures Mr. Bryan says, should be recommend ed for passage. Summarized these are, in Mr. Bryan's language': "A law establishing a national board of arbitration, consisting of three to five members, to consider and report on all controversies between corpora tions engaged in Inter State' commerce, and their employees; a law abolish ing government by injunction; a law that will discriminate . between the natural made man created by the Al mighty and-the corporate giant created by the legislation : a law taking the tariff o?r coal; a law which will pre vent railroads engaged Inter-State commerce from operating coal mines except for the purpose of supplying fuel for their own engines." Atlantic Goast Line Lawyers. The Atlantic Coast Line has inaug urated a new ?ymstem in the distrib ution of its counsel. Heretofore there has been no specific plan, but under the new arrangement the State is divided into three districts and each of these* districts is in charge of a division counsel. The lower part of the State including the Plant system territory, is in charge of Mr. W. II. Fitzsimons, of Charleston : the Pee Dee section is under District Counsel P. Alson Wilcox, of Florence, and the central part of the State is in charge of Divison Counsel J. T. Barron, of Co lumbia. Wanted.

J. FOR THE AMERICA'S GUP. Sir Thomas Upton's Third Chal lenge Posted Tuesday. _ London, October 7.?Sir Thomas j Lipton's third challenge for a series of races for the America's cnp was, signed this afternoon at Belfast, Ire land, by the officiais of the Royal ; Ulster Yacht Clnb, the Eon Charles | Russell representing Sir Thomas Lip- \ ton. The challenge was immedi?tely j posted and goes to New York on the j White Star Line steamer Oceanic, j which sails from Liverpool to-mor- j row. j The fact that the challenge was j mailed to New York was not published here today, .but the comments made on the subject by yachtsmen when in formed of it inidcat? that yachting men in Great Britain identify them selves as completely and enthusias tically with this challenge as they did with the two which preceeded it. Mr. Pife has approached the problem of producing a winner in,a manner radically different from that employed in the construction of any previous challenger. Hitherto the idea dom inating the design w as to secure length and power. The Lines and measure ments of the Shamrock II suggest that the first idea has -/been to get a boat better suited to the autumn weather off Sandy Hook. The chal lenger will be built at the Dennys* yard, and nickel steel will be employ ed throughout her frames,' plating, deck and principal spars. An Illegal Combination. Philadelphia, October 7.?Council for Frank H. Thompson, a citizen of this commonwealth, will tomorrow file in the United States court a bill in equity against the Philadelphia and Reading Railway company, the Cen tral railroad of New Jersey, Lehigh Valley railroad, the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western railroad and the New York, Ontario and Western rail ro?d. The bill charges these roads with having formed an illegal combination for the purpose of fixing the price of coal and controlling the coal market, and asking the court to declare such combination illegal, and to restrain and prohibit the respondents from meeting together for. the purpose of fixing the rate at which coal shall be sold. Our New Governor. Capt. D. Clinch Hey war, d the Gov ernor-elect of South Carolina, for such his nomination at the recent Demo cratic/primary really makes him, at tended the Hibernian Society Smoker given in his honor on Tuesday night. He made a fine impression on the members of the Society, and was very happy, indeed, in the impromptu speech which he made. He avoided the discussion of political questions, but expressed the conviction that his nomination for the office of Governor really meant the obliteration of the two isms, sectionalism and factional ism, which have so sorely divided the people ofjkhis State-in the past and so impeded our industrial development. \ Spartanbnrg County, away up in the northern part of the State and looking out upon the blue mountains of North Carolina, had given him the largest number of votes cast by any county in the State, and Charleston, situated by the blue ocean, had given him the largest majority. It did not matter whether the people had voted in Horry or Pickens, in Beaufort or Cherokee they had voted for him, and voted for him, as he believed, because he di<? not in any way represent the spirit of division, but had promised to be, if he should be elected, the Gov ernor of the whole people of the State, and what he had promised he would strive with all his powers to perform. ! (?JCapt. Hey ward is deeply interested in the development of the resources of South Carolina. He believed, how ever, that South Carolina could not be a wholly prosperous State without be ing an enlightened State, and he would have the State provide for the education of its children in the most liberal way. He would encourage the coming of capital to the State and make proper safeguards for its pro tection, but, at the same time, while capital should in ail justice have fair treatment, labor should have fair com pensation. Capt. Heyward impressed his audi ence on Tuesday night with his entire sincerity in his determination to ad minister the office of Governor in the public interest, and not for the benefit of any political faction or any partic ular section of the State. He makes a good appearance, he mixes well, and gives promise of achieving for himself lasting distinction in the office of Gov ernor, and for the State the existence of enduring conditions of peace and fraternity among its people, and their co-operation in all efforts honestly in tended for the public good.?News ano!

[Street Fight in Arkansas Has Greater Casualty List Than Philippine Battle. Eldorado, Ark., Oct. 9.?Three men ! were killed, another will die and two [others were wounded in a shooting ; affray which occurred on the streets ^here this afternoon. The dead are: l H. L. Dearing, constable ; Tom Par ;nell, farmer; Walter L. Parnell, farmer. The. wounded are: Quy.B. LTucker, city marshal, fatally; Dr. I Hilton, wounds not serious; Jim Par nell. not serions. I The shooting, it is alleged, is the. ! sequel to the killing Sept. 18 here, by I Dearrag of Robert Mullens. i The Parnells were friends of Mul lens and Thomas Newton was a friend \ of Dearing. t This afternoon Jim Parnell and [Newton became involved in a dispute.:. [It is said that both factions prepared for trouble. Later Dearing, Tucker I and Newton were walking along in j front of the Union Grocery company I on the east side of the square when fthey met the Parnell brothers. Jim Parnell is said to have fired at Newton and in an instant a fusillade.began. Seventy-five shots were -fired and the crack of revolvers sounded like a pitched battle. The men were close together and their aim was deadly. It developed into a man to man affair. Dearing and Tom Parnell emptying their several pistols at each other at a distance so close that when they fell unable to shoot any more, their bodies formed a cross. The others were firing promiscuously, and it is supposed that a shot from Marshal : Tncker's pistol killed Walter ParnelL Dj*. Hilton, who tried to separate the men, was also shot, but not fatlly, i In compliance with a request from : the sheriff of Union countyn Gov. ; Davis tonight ordered the company of the State guard at Eldorado on duty to suppress trouble and preserve the peace. Excitement runs high- at Eldorado in consequenece of the tra gedy this afternoon. Tremendous Cost of the Panama Canal. ! (PeterMacQu?en, in Leslie's Weekly.) I ? At present the idea is to build a canal with lccks, but I have no idea ythat this will ever be done. A sea level canal is the only one that will finally be feasible. The tide at Pan ama is eighteen feet ; the tide at Colon is eighteen inches. When our engineers get down into the Culebra cut they ?wilidnnhtless? .very reasonablyreport that the locks and gates are great im pedimenta. People here look upon a sea leve lcanal as a foregone conclusion. By sinking the Culebra cut eighteen feet more than the present surveys call for this result can oe obtained. That means fifty million dollars at one clip. Before we have mastered the problems of health, rain, wind and tide, moun tain cutting and level dredging, this .isthmian ditch will probably cost half a billion dollars. - The Colombian Government is an other question. I had several long conversations with Dr. Mutis-Dur rand, the finest product of Colombian civilization, an able jurist and former ly Governor of the province of Panama. He opines that all parties in Colombia favor the canal and favor gving America all reasonable concessions. But even this splendid, broadgauge Colombian statesman hesitates about passing over to us the jurisdiction of Panama and Colon. Panama city^is a Spanish com munity of 25,000 inhabitants?very charming in situation and romantic in history; but just as unsanitary as can be. As my genial friend, Capt. Beers, of the Panama Railroad, ex pressed it: "Between the heavy rains and the buzzards the streets of Pan ama are as clean as a whistle. ' ' These, then, are approximately some of the difficulties involved in the con structing of the canal: L Immense problems in sanitation. 2. Great diffi culties of climate to overcome. 3. Cri tical diplomatic relations with the Colombian Government, which can only be overcome with great patience and toleration. 4. The inevitable increase of expense above the original estimates of cost. The most careful financial ob servers assure me that the cost of this undertaking with the expenses attach ed to its operation will be to our Government about 812,000,000 a year, while the tariffs resulting from the world's trade will, on the same esti mates, give us only 67,000,000; thus leaving a deficit of $5,000,000 a year. Vestibuled Street Cars. The Spartanburg Railway, Gas and Electric Company have already order ed the mat?ri?i for the inaguration of vestibules to their trolley cars for the protection and comfort of motormen and conductors during the winter sea son. This order was made some time ago, and the material is expected in the next few weeks. This action is in accordance with a law passed by the general assembly, which becomes effec tive on and after December 1, continu ing until March 1 of each year. The officials of the S partan burg railway company expressed themselves to your correspondent that it was their inten tion to make such an innovation this season whether the law required it or not?for the comfort 'of their em- j pi oyes.

C, Oct. 9.?The much talked of "Fries cotton mill mer ger, ' ' of certain classes of all south ern cotton mills at last consummated to the extent that writings have been signed by 70 mills located in Virginia, Nortn and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The com pany formed to- acquire these proper ties are represented by a prominent New York trust company. The con trolling management will be southern manufacturers. In this plan under which they will organize apperas this clause: "No'plant or business shall be purchased- in the organization of the new company except with the written unnaimous approval as to the desirabi lity of purchase, and as to the pro prietary price of the following named persons: T. W. Pratt, Huntsville, ?la. : S. B. Tanner', Henrietta, N. G. : John* $f. Fries, Winston-Salem N,. C. ; C. G. Latta, Raleigh, N. C. ; A. W. Hay wood, Haw River, N. 0." This committee will meet here in formal session by the 70 mills referred to. From, these it will select the more desirable and uprchase them outright, paying cash and securities of the new Southern Textile company. The option provides that .the com pany can issue 87,000,000 in common, $7,000,000 in preferred stock and #6, 000,000 in bonds. This huge consoli dation will have an important influence on cotton manufacturing in the south. It is claimed by its promoters that it will prove a blessing to the industry by eliminating for one thing ruinous competition. A Bible Fit For A King. (From the London Express..)

The mob fired upon the civil guard who were temporarily driven back, but who returned the fire of the rioters and scattered their assailants. The mob afterwards attacked the house of the mayor and other dwellings before it was finally dispersed. A battalion of infantry and a squadron of cavalry have arrived here from San Roque. A Typical South African Store. O. K. Larson, of Bay Villa. Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typi cal of South Africa, at which can be pur chased anything from the ?proverbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situat ed in a valley nine mile? from the nearest railway station and about twenty-five miles from the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's re medies. All testify to their vaine in a household where a doctor's advice is al most out of the question. Within one mile of my store the population is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by Dr. J. A. China. MITCHELL APPEALS TO MINEAS. /_ He Urges the Coal Strikers to Be ' Law-Abiding and Thus Shame the Operators. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 6.?Before President Mitchell left for Buffalo, he I gave to the press the following state ment, which was hurriedly - prepared I after he returned from Philadelphia i tonight : ; To district secretaries and all mine workers in the anthracite field : "You have, no doubt, read in the daily papers the proceedings of the con ference at the White House last Fri i day in which'your officers proposed an immediate resumption of work if the operators would agree with us to refer the questions at issue in the strike to the decision of the president of the United States and a tribunal named by him. You have noted the reply of the presidents of the coal carrying roads, in which they responded to our over tures by denouncing your union,- its memers'and officers in the most vehe ment and malicious manner possible. They also declared that a large majority of the strikers wonid return to work if given military protection and they demanded that the president send United States troops to the coal fields. ' ' In order to demonstrate to the peo ple of our country that the statements of the operators are unfounded, and that the mine workers are law abiding citizens, the officers of all local unions should call mass meetings of all men on strike, union and non-union, such meeting to be held in each mining town at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 8. We know that the mine work ers are not restrained from going to work by fear of bodily harm, and if this is the sentiment prevailing at the meetings, resolutions should be adopt ed, emphatically declaring the state ments of the operators to be untrue. "We also advise that acts of lawless ness by the coal and iron police and by strikers be denounced and the services of members of the uni?a tendered the local authorities to preserve law and , order. "Great care should be exercised that those on strike do not permit them selves to be provoked by the coal and iron police into the commission of overt acts. The operators failing to break the strike and deprive you of your well earned victory, are now at tempting to . array public sentiment against you by making false claims that a reign ^of terror exists in the coal fields. Be steadfast and true while this struggle for living -wages and American conditions of employment is going on, and we have no hesitancy in jaying that victory .willj^e. acmevjsd^in^^ the not distant future. The heart of the nation beats in sympathy with you and all good citizens favor your cause. "Do not fail to have > resolutions drafted in plain, temperate- language, telegraph the at cur expense to Presi dent Mitchell's headquarters immedi ately on the adjournment of meetings. "John Mitchell, "President U. M. W. of A. t "T. D. NichoDs, ^ "President District No. 1. "Thomas Duffy, "President District No. 7, "John Fahy, " President District No. 9." The news of the coming calling out \ of the entire State guard causes a mild sensation among those gathered at strike headquarters, but apparently the least perturbed were President Mitchell and the three district presi dents. There was a crowd in the lobby of the Hart hotel, and as soon as the miners' chief came down the stairs with his traveling bag in hand, he ? was asked for an expression on the ac tion of Gov. Stone. He at first de clined, but a moment later, as he pushed his way through the throng, he exclaimed : " If they call out all the troops in the United States it won't nia?e the j men go to work. GOAL MINE OWNERS WOULD END STB1? The Railroads Merely Operate the Mines on Leases Which May Be Taken From Them. Bangor, Me., Oct. 6.?C. M. Hol man of this city, who is a part owner in coal mines in Pennsylvania, of which the Philadelphia and Eeading company are lessees, is consdiering the question of making application to the courts for an injunction to compel the coal operators to open mines 3nd resume operations at once. As the property is leased on a royalty Mr. Hoi man says that no income has been-, derived since the mines were shut down and that the ?ctual owners .of the mines are among ti$e principal sufferers, from the strike. " He says also that a great many of ! the owners are in sympathy with the I strikers but are helpless, at least in Pennsylvania, as the courts have held that the lessees have full control. Mr. Holman has wired President Roosevelt that the interests of the owners entitled them to representa tion in any conference which may be held with reference to a settlement of the strike. The Worst Form. Multitudes are singing the praises of Kodol. the new discovery which is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they eat, by cleansing and sweetening the stomach and by transforming their food into the kind of pure. rich, red blood that makes yon feel good all over. .Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, I. T.. writes : For a number of years f was troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia which grew into the worst form. * Finally I was induced to use Kcdol and after using four bottles I am entirely cured. I hearti ly recommend Kodol to all sufferers from indigestion and dyspepsia. Take a dose after meals. It digests what you eat. S. Hughson & Co.
