INDIAN OUT $22,000 Bobbed by .Cuitus Montana White Merit WOULDN'T TRUST THE BANKS Wealthiest Red Man on the Flathead Reservation Young Bucks Have Gone in Pursuit of -the Bold Thieves. BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 2. A special to tho Miner from Butte says that one of the most sensational robberies that has ever occurred In the history of "Western Mon jtana was enacted at Plains yesterday, Jiews of "which has ju.;t reached this place. A wealthy Flathead Indian named Machell was robbed Saturday night of $22,000 In cash, the money consisting of 5100 is and $20 gold pieces. Machell was a visitor in Plains Saturday night, arid during his absence, at about 10 o'clock at night, a man dressed as ' a squaw visited his home on Camas Prairie and engaged in. conversation with Mach ' ell's squaw. Mrs. Machell noticed that the visitor was not an Indian squaw, but la white man, as he could not talk good I -Flathead, but she did not suspect any "thing wrong until she saw two men run from an outbuilding, carrying something with them. Then it was that her sus picion was aroused, as the wealth had been stored in that building. The robbers jumped' on their horses, which were near by, and the -one that had been talking to her joined them, and the three rode hur rlefily away. As soon as she reached the Plains with ,-Jhe news, several of the white citizens of that place accompanied Machell to his .home to find If the story was true, which was proved on their arrival there. A score of young Indians started out to try to locate the robbers, but no clew has been found. Machell is the wealthiest fullblood In dian on the reservation. He has large herds of cattle and horses, and was al ways known, to have money, but few people knew that he kept it at home. It develops, however, that the old Indian was afraid to trust his money in the bank, and kept it in an old trunk in an outbuild ing at his home. FAMILY BLOWX TTP.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 2. A special from Inez, Ky., to tho Enquirer says: Pleasant Spradlng, held for tho killing pf his 4-year-old son, is threatened with lynching. Spradlng's family consisted of a wife, three daughters and son. With his daughters and boy the father was Jherdlng sheep last Friday. Tho boy was unable to keep up with the others. The father placed him on a stone besido a cpring, telling him to wait until his re ctum. The boy, becoming tired of sitting istlll, began to peel the loose bark off a Vtree that overhung the spring. Presently 5the father returned, and noticing the Dark on the ground, asked the boy who had done it. The boy replied that he had. "I would rather have you dead than raise you to destroy everything on tho farm," Is the reply the father is said to have made, and then, It is charged, he picked up a stono and struck the boy on the head, knocking him down. Then, it Is alleged, he kicked tho prostrate baby In the head until he had killed him. and. turning to his daughters, threatened them with a like fate If they ever told what had occurred. Afterward he went home and 6ald tho boy, while chasing sheep, had run against a tree and killed him self. Becoming alarmed, he took his eldest daughter and went to the mountains. His wife hired neighbors to bury tho body of the child and then went to the homo of Judge E. Hensiey. She told him of the death of her son, and said she 'suspected her husband, who told her he was going Into the mountain woods to hunt squir rels, and she added that at different times he had threatened to kill the whole family. The Judge took her with her two younger daughters to his home and pre sented the case to the grand jury. One Of the littlo girls told the jury that her father had kicked the boy to death. Shortly afterward a Sheriffs posse cap tured Spradlng in the mountains, but his eldest daughter was not with him. Spradlng's missing daughter turned up today, barefooted and ragged, after her escape from her father In the mountains. She was Immediately taken before the grand Jury, and testified how her father Wiled the boy, threatened her life and that of her mother. She testified that he would have brained them heretofore but for'the interference of neighbors. Judgo Hehslcy has the Jail so strongly guardecV that there is no longer any dan ger of lynching. Spradlng will be given a speedy trial GONE TO INSPECT MINES. Commission to Spend Four Days More, in Various Coal Workings. SCRANTON4, Pa., Nov. 2. The mine strike commissioners left for Hazleton to night to spend four days in further ac quainting themselves with the physical features of mining. They had not decided tonight, up to the time of leaving, how they would divide their time while in the middle and lower districts. It was detln itely decided, though, that not more than four days would be devoted to the trip. Assistant Recorder Nelll was left behind to receive the miners' statement from President Mitchell tomorrow. On Thurs day it Is expected that the operators' counter-statement will be presented. The commissioners will then take a recess un til Friday. November 14. bv which lime the two parties will be expected to have completed the preparation of their cases, and to be ready to go on with the hear ings. The commissioners will also devote the Interim .to preparations for the hear ings by acquainting themselves' with the details of the two statements. Bishop Spalding preached at the late John;T. Morrison, Rep., For Governor. mass In St. Peter's Cathedral this morn ing. His fellow commissioners attended the service and occupied front pews. The bishop's sermon was based on tho 10th verse of the 13th chapter of SL Paul's Epistle to the Romans: "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." No reference was made to the work of the commission, and only in a most general way could the ser mon be made applicable thereto. The commissioners will remain in their sleeping car all night They will be met at 9 o'clock In the morning at Pond Creek, about nine miles north of Hazleton, by Thomas Duffy, president of this district of the Mlneworkers' union, who will repre sent the miners. General Superintendent TVarriner, of the Lehigh Valley, and Gen eral Superintendent Richards, of the Le high & Wilkesbarre Company, will repre sent the operators. The mines which the commission will visit have not yet been decided upon. Superintendent AVarriner has suggested the No. 40 shaft, operated by his company. The .miners prefer to have the operators inspect the Harwpod colliery of Pardee & Co. There are 25 mines in the Hazle ton region, and all but No. 40 shaft -are entered by means of a slope. The com missioners on Saturday requested both sides to agree on one mine, and if they fall, the commission will probably decide the matter. OLD SCORE CLOSED IN CHICAGO. Printers Upheld in Sticking to Their Contracts. CHICAGO, Nov. 2. The Chicago Feder ation of Labor today rescinded its act of expulsion against Typographical Union No. 16, and offered to reinstate the dele gates when they apply for admission. The act of the Chicago Federation Is due di rectly to an order from President Samuel Gbmpers, of tho American Federation, who commanded it to reinstate the Typo graphical Union by November 10, or loso its right of affiliation with the National body. Ho In turn was stirred up by tho International Typographical Union, which notified him that unless ho issued tho or der, it would withdraw from tho Ameri can Federation. Today's action terminates a two-year controversy that had its origin In a strike of tho newspaper pressmen of Chicago. "When tho printers refused to join tho strike, or give tho strikers their moral support, maintaining that to do so would bo to violate their five-year contract with tho newspaper publishers, their delegates were expelled from tho Federation of La bor.

Covered Fields and Choked Brooks "With Ashes and Cinders. TAPACHUTLA, State of Chiapas, Mex ico, Nov. 2. Growers In neighboring haciendas will suffer great Ices, owing to the fact that their stock cannot procure food, the fields being covered with ashes from the Santa Maria volcano. The brooks arc choked with ashes and cin ders, and all the neighboring roads are covered. It begins to be seen that the coffee plantations will come off better than the stockraisers. Diligent Investigation shows that thero was no loss of life during the recent dis turbances. Reports from towns across the Guatemala border show that the alarm was Intense, everybody fearing a fate similar to that which befell the peo ple In Martinique and St Vincent. "What most Impressed everyone was the dark ness, which prevailed for more than two days. Government experts aro studying the effects of the eruption. Noted Landscape Engineer. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2. Charles. Mil ler, a landscape engineer of National rep utation, died today at his home hero, aged 73 years. During the Centennial celebra tion In this city, Mr. Miller was In charge of the horticultural exhibit and designed the famous sunken garden in Fairmount Park. At the time of his death he was consulting landscape engineer of Fair mount Park. BIG INCREASE OF COAL UNITED STATES HAS COME TO BB LARGEST PRODUCER. Three Nations Mine 83 Per Cent of the Mineral Fuel of the "World The Age of Coal. WASHINGTON, Noy. 2. The coal pro duction and consumption of the world, and especially of the United State3, In comparison with other coal-producing countries, is the subject of a monograph which will appear in the forthcoming Is sue of the Monthly Summary of Com merce and Finance. Issued by the Treas ury Bureau'of Statistics. The general demand for coal seems to have increased very rapidly In recent years, not alone In the United States, but throughout the woTld. One of the most characteristic features of modern indus trial development has been the rise of the coal Industry. Modern society relies noon coal as tho fuel and source of power. I and the terms "iron age," "machine age" PRINCIPALS IN THE IDAHO POLITICAL BATTLE Franlc W. Hunt, Dent For Governor. and "ago of steam" may all be trans lated "age of coal." The rapidity with which the production of coal has Increased may be appreciated when the present volume of that produc tion Is considered and when we reflect in how recent a time the production formed but a very small fraction of that quantity. In 1S01 the total coal production of the world was SGG.165,000 short tons Until as late a period as 1SS3 the world's production had never been half so great, being only 450.990,000 metric tons In that year; and not until 1S72 had the world's production been as much as a third as largo as It Is at present By 1EC4 the world's production was only 175,000,000 metric tons, or less than 23 per cenl uf tho production of .1901. The statistics of the world's production for still earlier periods cannot bo determined with any pretense of accuracy; but on the basis of the British statistics from 1S54, "and of es timates for earlier periods and from such statistics as are obtainable from France, Germany, Belgium and Austria-Hungary, an approximation may bo made of the ac tual production. In 1SG0 the world's pro duction of coal was about 144,000,000 metric tons, or less than one-fifth of the produc tion of 1901, and considerably less than the production of either- the'Urilted States or the United Kingdom at present Ten years earlier the world's production amounted to only about 83.000,000 metric tons, about one-tenth of tho present world's production and- considerably less than the present output- of -tho single State of Pennsylvania. In 1840 the produc tion was much smaller still, amounting to little over 45,000,000 metric tons,, or about one-seventeenth of the present output; while during the three-quarters of a cen tury since 1820, when the output was about 17,000.000 tons, tho production has Increased about 4.500 per cent. While tho figures for the world's pro duction prior to 1SG4 are necessarily de fective, owing to tho absence of accurato statistics for the English and American industry, they sufficiently indicate tho immense development of the industry dur ing the last century. The significance of this development cannot be overlooked. Tho production of coal Is chiefly In the hands of three nations, the British, the American and the German. During tho last 0 years, and even earlier, the com bined coal output of the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany has averaged, year for year, about five-sixths of the coal output of the world. Pos sessing but a tenth of the world's popula tion, they have produced about 83 per cent of the mineral fuel, while the re maining 90 per cent of the world's Inhabi tants have produced only about 17 per cent of the coal, and even If the savage and semi-barbarous nations be disre garded, the immense preponderance of coal production In theso countries must be conceded. To this group might be added Belgium, which produces and con sumes more coal per capita than any other European country except the United Kingdom, but for tho fact of Its small population placing It In the second rank of coal-produclng countries. While tho continued output of theso three countries has kept pace with the production of the refit of tho world, their relative position has been materially al tered. In 1863 the United Kingdom pro duced over three times as much as either tho United States or Germo'ny, the out put of these countries being approxi mately 52, 14 and IGVi per cent of the world's production, respectively. In 1870 tho proportion was about, the same, al-though-the United States had gained upon Germany as a coal producer. By 1S75 the output of the United Kingdom was still considerably greater than tho combined production of tho United States ana Ger many, the output of these three countriee being 45, 20 and 18 per cent of the world's production, respectively. Tho next half decennlal period witnessed a remarkable Increase in the American production and a corresponding relative decrease In that of- Great Britain, the proportion of these countries being 3G, 28 and 17 per cent re spectively. This Increase was maintained during the latter part of the past cen tury, and In 1S9G the output of Great Brit ain and Ireland was only 34 per cent, that of the United States already 30 per cent, and that of Germany 19.2 per cent of the coal production of tho world. In 1S99, for the first time, the coal pro duction of the United States exceeded In quantity that of Great Britain. This su periority has been maintained for two successive years. During 1S01 the United States production was greater than the amount of coal produced In Great Brit ain and all her colonics. During that year the shares of the leading coal-producing countries were as follows: United States, 34 per cent; United Kingdom, 23 per cent, and Germany, 19.2 per cent Nor Is there any prospect that tho leading position of the United States may be lost In favor of another country within any, calculable future time. FOREIGN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS. Irons and Electricals Occnpy Atten tion In Berlin Money Easy. BERLIN, Nov. 2. The bourse began tho week under the Influence of the gloomy remarks of Herr Baare, director of the Bochum-Gusstahl Company, , who at the annual meeting of the company, held Oc tober IS, said the German Iron Indus try was approaching a serious period of Its existence, and that there existed-danger of the dissolution of the steel rail syndicate, In which event there would begin a price war between everybody in the business. These utterances of Herr Baare depressed all industrial shares this week and particularly Irons. This de cline, however, was partly checked "Wednesday by the remarks of a Sileslan magnate, who was more cheerful regard ing Iron prospects. The annual meet ing of the Dortmund Iron Company, how ever, brought out discouraging facts, and representatives of other iron companies also expressed dismal views of the sit uation. Yesterday, however, brought strong recovers' upon strong prospects of the renewal of the pig Iron and steel rails syndicate In the Rhine country. Shares of electrical ;compan!es did not show a uniform tendency during the week. Those of the Schuckert Electrical Company, of Nuremburg, dropped to 70.50 on Friday but recovered to 76 yesterday upon the announcement that the company had secured a contract 'to bulla a sus pension electrical railway In England. The week's drop in ScnucKerts, nowever, was four "points, but shares of other elqe trical companies were slightly higher. Barton L. French, Rep., For Congress. Quotations upon Allgemelno Electrical Company, of Berlin, shares rose upon the declaration of an 8 per cent dividend. This company paid a dividend of 12 per cent last year. The newspapers point cut that this year's dividend would have been below 6 per cent except for tho fact that the company's tax has been refunded. Indications are that the electrical indus try Is In a bad way with no prospect of Improvement. All negotiations for an electrical trust have apparently failed. A number of American electricians are re signing their positions in German com panies and returning to the United States. The money market showed a better de mand for the monthly settlement than was expected. Considerable demand still existed yesterday, call- money reaching 4 per cent, but later relapsing to 4 per cent. German 3a. and Prussian consols were slightly lower during the week and there was little doing In foreign rentes. Shares of the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American Steamship Companies continue to be weak. They ,are hovering Just above par. tfbvr JoHn Baettn?afiSr SHAifGHAt. Nov. 2. -In response' to a request mado upon the American Cham ber of Commerce here, John Barrett, Commissioner of the St. Louis Exposi tion for Asia and Australia, has made a statement upon tho American trade In China. Mr. Barrett says tho present Is a critical time In the history of American trade in China, and that tho future, with its" vast trade possibilities, depends upon the negotiation of a new American-Chinese treaty. Mr. Barrett says that Amer ican merchants In China are unanimously opposed to the adoption In such a treaty of certain provisions of tho new British Chinese treaty, and that they regard tho vital point of this treaty, tho abolition of the likln, to be futile. The commission er says he favors the abolition of the likln In principle, but that he doubts whether the British treaty' will becomo effective, owing to tho opposition to it of German, French and Japanese merchants. He says that tho United States treaty commissioners are carefully preparing a treaty which contains a compromise on the likln provision of the British treaty. Money Plentiful in London. LONDON, Nov. 2. The plentlfulncss of money which characterized the October market has been succeeded by conditions compelling heavy borrowings from tho banks at 4 per cent In order to meet stock exchange settlements and month end obligations. An Increase In govern ment disbursements Is anticipated this week. This will enable borrowers to liq uidate some of their indebtedness. Tho bank meanwhile has regained control of the money market and the hardening of London discount rates has not affected continental exchange. That there will be any considerable shipments of gold from New York In connection with the purchases of the shipping combine or for any other rea sons ifl regarded as improbablo Inasmuch as the mercantile balances favor the United States and it Is considered likely that these will provldo sufficient ex chnngo for requirements. The sluggish ness of the stock exchange was relieved for a couple of days by spurts of activity, especially in American and British rail way shares. The dealings were, mostly professional. The more cheerful tones prevailing did not Induce the public to buy to any extent. PRESIDENTS COMPARED. Roosevelt More Effective Than Lou bet Because Elected by People. PARIS, Nov. 2. In an article headed. "Two Presidents," La Patrle today com pares President Roosevelt with President Loubet Referring to tho French and American coal strikes, the paper says the energetic measures adopted by Pres ident Roosevelt brought the American strike to an end and declares that Pres ident Loubet was confronted by condi tions exactly the same as those Mr. Roosevelt dealt with, but that the Presi dent of France remained passive, with tho result that the French strlko con tinues. The paper draws the conclusion that the American President, who Is elected by the people, represents tho peo ple, whereas the President of France waits the slow process of the Parliament and that the French people suffer from the reign of parliamentarism. Overwork Killed Railroad Man. MONTCLAIR, N. J., Nov. 2. Samuel J. Edgar, until recently second vice-president of the Louisville & Nashvlllo Rail road, is dead at a sanitarium at Cald well, near here, aged 57 years.

For al most all of that time he had been the treasurer of the corporation, having been chosen vice-president only toward the ter mination of his connection1 with tho rail road. The physicians say (his Illness was nervous prostration, "brought on by over work. VIEWEDTHE BATTLE-FIELD PRESIDENT WENT OVER CEDAR MOUNTAIN FIGHT. .Virginian Participant Gave an Ac count of the Engagement-Roosevelt Will Vote nt Home. BRANDY STATION, Va., Nov. 2.

Hntchlnson, Dcm., For Congress. The President drove to the battle-field over the road which years ago was tha stage route between New York and New Orleans. Arrived at the battle-field, which is dotted here and there by monuments marking the positions of the troop9 during the fight, tho contest was explained to the President by Judge Grlmsley, who is now a member of the bench of this judicial cir cuit. The Judge was a Captain in the Sixth Virginia Cavalry, and was a partici pant In the fight. Tho President, a cav alryman himself, was Interested particu larly In tho account of the famous First Cavalry charge made during tho battle. The Union and Confederate Armies met In a depression not far from Cedar Moun tain. While the battle did not last long, and was brought on .quite unexpectedly, It was frightfully sanguinary, the loss on both sides being about 3200. The Presi dent was notably Interested In a monu ment erected last August on the anniver sary of tho battle by the survivors of the Twenty-eighth New York Infantrj'i which lost in the engagement 59 per cent of its men, Including nearly everj- commissioned officer. In the very heart of the battlerfleld JPjrcs- f ytloit. Many people had gathered from the surrounding country, and after Judge Grlmsley had described . the battle tho President received Informally those wh had assembled on the field. Subsequentlj the President was given a shell which had been dug up on tho battler-field, as a me mento of hla visit. , This morning the President and his party attended services at tho Baptist Church of Culpeper, about live miles from the home of. Representative Rixey. Until a short time before the services began It was not known that the President was to be present No special services marked his presence. Rev.-E. W. Wlngrey, pastor of tho church, one of the oldest religious or ganlzations In Virginia, made reference to the President In his opening prayer, but did not allude to him In his sermon. The church was crowded, and at the conclu slon of tho services President Roosevelt cordially greeted the pastor and many members of the congregation, and Intro duced them to those who accompanied him. Subsequently the party took lunch eon at the residence of S. Russell Smith, a brother-in-law of Dr. Rlxev. Tonight the President Is again the guest of Representative John F. Rixey at his country home near this village. Every precaution possible Is being taken to In sure his safety.

REBELS STILL ABOUT COLON Both Slues Complain of American Ninety-Day Armistice. KINGSTON, Jamaica. Nov. -2. The Erlt lsh steamer Trent arrived here today from Colon. She brlngo reports that the Colom bian rebels arc still to be seen In the vi cinity of tho Isthmus, and that they oc casionally appear in the towns along the railroad line. Considerable Indignation Is felt by tho Colombians because American" guards arc otlll maintained on tho railroad. Officials of the Colombian government) say that the Interference of the Americans prevents them from dealing effectively with the rebels who occupy certain towne, where they collect taxes and make seizures of property. The revolutionists in their turn say tne presence ot tne Americans pre vents them from bringing about a final coup in tho revolution.

A high United States official here says the affair of the arrival of the Colombian cruiser Bogota at this port has bean exaggerated. When the cruiser arrived, though she was flying the Colombian flag, the government gunboat Clapet cruised around her for some time and fired two shots after the port authori ties had gone on board. As it had been un derstood that the Bogota was to come under the American flag-, Rear-Admiral Casey, tho American commander, sent an officer on board the cruiser to inquire how tne change of flags had been made, but this action was not meant as intervention In the affairs of the Colombian govern ment. There Is no friction now between tho United States naval authorities and those of Colombia. Cuba's Balance In Trensnry. HAVANA. Nov. 2.
