COTTON REPORT LEAKED. Convincing Evidence That Some Per son Sold Ah anee Litigation. NEW YORK, Dec. 5. The Journal of Commerce says: There" have in recent years been many reports that the Agri cultural Bureau's cotton report "has leaked" ; in other words, that its general character has become known to a favored few before the time of Its official publi cation. But never has the conviction been more firmly held by the cotton trade than In the instance of the report Issued by the department on Wednesday. It was Impossible to give entirely specific evi dence that the report was dishonestly made known to public interests in ad vance, for direct evidence of this char acter could only be received from parties themselves participating In the theft; but the course of Wednesday's market is ac cepted in the cotton trade as being abso lutely and unequivocally Indicative that large market interests had definite infor mation of the character of the reports. In addition the following specific Infor mation is available: First The exact figures (10,417.000 bales) of .the Government's estimates were defi nitely known at least 20 minutes before the official hour for publication of the re port, namely, noon. This information was given a representative of this Journal by one of the best known members of the exchange. Second The news was very general be fore 1 o'clock that the department's report would be 10.500,000 bales. Third Advance information regarding the exact character of the report was of fered early Jn the-"forenoon 'to' a very large commission house", which refused to enter Into negotiations or consider the purchase of the stolen Information in any form. But the greatest evidence that the in formation was dishonestly circulated was contained in the action of the market itself, and there are many responsible members of the New York cotton trade who believe that the leak occurred not on Wednesday morning, but some time Tuesday, as there is every evidence that both the New York and the Liverpool markets were forced up to- a selling ba sis. Wilson Does Not Believe It. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.

John Hyde, statistician of the Depart ment of Agriculture, said today that a leak In the report was absolutely impossible. COAST SAILORS MUTINY. They Kill Second Officejm of .Ship Leicester Castle and Flee. QUEi,.,STOWN. Dec. 5. The 3rltish ship Leicester Castle, from San Francisco, July 26. arrived here today. Her com mander reported that on September 20 three American seamen mutinied and Cap tain Peattle and his second officer were shot, the latter fatally, after an encounter with the mutineers', who left the ship on a raft in mid-ocean. Captain Peattle gave the names of the mutineers as W. A. Hobbs, Ernest Sears and Turner. They were all shipped in San Francisco. The second officer. Mr. Nixon, was" shot while attempting to rescue the captain. In the darkness the mutineers got a few planks and formed a raft and launched it from the ship, which was then about 200 miles north of the Pit cairn Islands. The captain searched for the raft te next day. but it was not sight ed, and it was surmised that it went to pieces. Captain Peattle added that Hobbs was the actual murderer of Mr. Nixon, whom he shot through the heart. The. captain himself was shot twice, but had quite re covered when he arrived here. When the chief officer discovered that the three men had mutinied, he muptered tile rest of the crew, intending to await daylight and capture the mutineers, but the" latter escaped in the interim. The captain is unable to account for the mu tiny. He thinks it was the Intention of the men to murder the officers and others who refused to join them, and take the ship to Pitcairn Island. It is said that Hobbs came from Illi nois, Sears from Idaho, and James' Turner from Portland. Or. The mutineers took a week's provisions with them on the raft. CARRIE BREAKS OUT.

A Wllkesbarre physician, testifying before the President's arbitration com mission, declared, that fully 99 per cent of the men who work in the coal mines are anaemic, their health Impoverished and their general condition below par, thus decreasing their earning powers. The word "anaemic" is a medical term used to describe a condition in which the blood is deficient in quality, giving the victim a pallid look, dull eyes and list less manner. That 99 of every 100 miners.are afflict er with this dlsfease is a revelation to most people, but a fact of much deeper concern, is that the conditions that pro mote this disease exist in shops and fac tories In almost every city throughout the country. Physicians who appeared before the commission testified that life Is short ened by work In the .coal mines. It Is equally true that hundreds of thousands of men and women at work In our great factories will die sooner because of being there. The testimony adduced before the commission te substantiated by the fol lowing evidence given by one of the coal miners, whose experience not only points out a danger, but shows that a remedy is at hand. A Coal Miner's Evidence. David Collins, a miner living at New Straitavllle. O.. was a victim of anae- .mia, and the disease had reached that stage called "pernicious," which is gen erally regarded as hopelessly Incurable. In his statement he says "The disease came upon me very grad ually One of the physicians who at tended me eaid it must have been com Ing on for about three years before it finally brought me so low that I was confined to my bed. I first noticed the effects of it about 18 months before took to my bed with it. My stomach was most affected. It became very sensitive, and would not retain food at all. My bowels also troubled me, my limbs were swollen and I nad frequent hemorrhages' of the teeth and gums and nose. "For nine months I was under a phy sician's care, but I kept growing worse till I was obliged to stay in bed. After I had been in bed three days six dilTer ent physicians called and all pronounced National Association of Automobile Man ufacturers to call a trade convention In Chicago, In February, to take action to ward the presentation of a bill in Con gress providing for an appropriation of $2O,CO0,CCO toward a National highway. The feature of the bill to be presented and urged will be a proviso that the expense of the proposed highway shall be snared equally by the National Government, the state and the county.

Ernest Graves, pastor of the Baptist Church, New Straltsville, to whom Mr. Collins refers, speaks of the case as follows: "We have a striking example of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have done in this community a. the present time, a case that borders on the miraculous. It Is that of David Collins, a member of my church and a very val uable helper in it. A few months ago he was taken very sick and was given up to die by six doctors. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured him, and so thoroughly that now this man, whom the doctors said must die, can be found any day working in the coal mine. I count It a great privilege to be able to say I ad vised nay, rather I insisted upon his taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills." What Anaemia Is.
