rate the winter based his prophesy upon the law of supply and demand. This law, he thinks. will invite enough speculation to keep the price 50 cents a ton higher than it would normally be. Dealers in Brooklyn who have anthracite coal to ell are still charging as high as $12 a ton, although but little anthracite is being sold Just, at As stated in yestcr day's Eagle the firm of Moquin. Offerman Heissenbtittel has a limited supply of anthracite which it is selling to its regular I only, at $7.50 a ton.

Concerning affairs in the Philippines, General Weston says: "Subsistence affairs in the Philippines have presented at all times complex and difficult problems, but the present period has been one of extreme difficulty to meet satisfactorily. Xew and shifting conditions have arisen at everv sten.

and what is wisdom to day becomes a futility to morrow, so that it has been impossible to map out any definite plan or make a provident recommendation: but it is expected that a settled and satisfactory basis will soon be reached, ana upon which intelligent action may be founded.

FIELD. 50 CENTS. OWNERSHIP OF MARSH LANDS. Manhattan Beach Company to Have a Chance to Prove Its Claim Rives to Take Action. Corporation Counsel Rives is going to give an opportunity to the Manhattan Beach Land and Improvement Company to prove that it has, as its officers claim, perfect title to the 2S5 acres of land under water in Sheepshead Bay.

Mr. Rives agrees with the controller that this is city property and he intends to bring a suit in ejectment against the Manhattan Beach Company. Mr. Rives makes an important new claim now that his attention has been directed to the subject, that practically all the marsh land in and about Jamaica and Gravesend bays are irrevocably vested in the city and that any titles the State Land Commission may have granted are worthless. In other words.

Mr. Rives has simply extended the view taken of the transaction by which the Manhattan Beach Company claims title to other lands under water and marshy tracts that were legally in the same position as the Sheepshead Bay tract. Altogether the land that the city may, if Mr. Rives succeeds, regain possession of is worth a vast amount of money. People who have paid the state for their grants will have no redress if ousted, as they cannot recover from the state.

The Controller has an expert investigating many titles of lands along and in Jamaica, and Gravesend bays, which are in possession of private persons. JOHNSON DENOUNCES TRAITORS. Mayor Attacks McLean and Berxuuc and Then Senator Hanna. Cincinnati, October 24 Mayor Tom It, Johnson of Cleveland created a sensatloS here last night by attacking certain elements in his own party, especially John R. McLean, individually and as the proprietor, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and Lewis O.

Bernard, as chairman of the Democratic committee of Hamilton County. Johnson not only read them out of the party, but challenged them to meet him on the charges that he made politically against them. Mayor Johnson discussed the recent curative act passed by the Legislature and denounced both of the Ohio Senators for securing its passage. He mentioned by name all the eight Democrats in the Legislature who voted with the Republicans for the passage or the curative act for street railroads and charged repeatedly that they got their price. He challenged any of them to meet him.

He then reviewed the speech Hanna and charged him with forcing the curative act Cor railways through the Leg" Islature. Two Politicians Shot and Mayor Arrested His Accuser, an Editor. San Juan, Porto Rico, October 24 A state of political excitement here yesterday ended at midnight with the shooting of two Republicans. The wounded men will recover. On Thursday the editor of the News was arrested on the complaint of the Mayor, amid a great demonstration, on the charge of libel in publishing the text of the citizens' petition presented to the Governor, asking that the' Mayor be prosecuted for destroying the'municlpal records.

Many of the signers of the petition, numbering 200, have been threatened In dbdgers and letters. 400 WAR HONORS BESTOWED. London. October 24 Nearly four hundred recipients of coronation war honors were invested by King Edward at Buckingham Palace this morning. The investiture was' carried out in the ball room with unusual ceremony.

All the great officers of state were present and the scene was particularly brilliant, as all the participants, in accordance with his majesty's instructions, wdre all the ribbons, orders or medals they possessed. MAY BE ESCAPED PRISONERS. Two Men Arrested in Manhattan With Silverware, It Is Believed Are Wanted in Rockland County. Frederick Herbert and Carl Newman, two men in whose arrests Captain Titus is deeply Interested, were arraigned in the Jefferson Market Court, Manhattan, this morning and remanded to police headquarters that their cases may further investigated by the detectives. They were arrested last evening by Detective Sergeants Kane and Stripp, who trailed them from a Bowery pawn shop to their room at, 357 West Forty third street.

They refused to admit the detectives, who broke in the door, and took them into custody. In the room was found between $400 and $500 worth of silverware. The men were locked up at police headquarters during the night. From their descriptions Captain Titus recognized them as escaped prisoners from the New City, Rockland County, jail, where they eluded the authorities on April 13 last, the day before they were to have been sentenced for burglary in the first degree. The Rockland County authorities offered a reward of $250 for their capture, which, provided they turn out to be the right men, the New York policemen interested in their arrest will collect.

In addition to these circumstances Captain Titus is inclined to believe the prisoners had a hand in the numerous burglaries which took place last summer in the homes of wealthy suburban residents in Westchester County and along the Hudson. He even thinks they were the principals in the series of Scarsdale holdups and burglaries which caused consternation among the residents of that district a few weeks ago. DOCTOB'S VICTIM IS DYING. IKfan Shot in Pittsburg in Mysterious Case Rapidly Sinking. Pittsburg, October 24 The condition of Bruce Head, bookkeeper for Kenefeck at the Wabash Greentree Tunnel, who was shot by Dr.

Ellis Duncan, Tuesday night, took a serious turn last night and it is now more than likely that he will succumb from his injuries. Since the shooting, the greatest efforts of the attending physicians have been directed toward the prevention of blood poisoning. On Wednesday and Thursday there was an entire absence of such indications, and the physicians were more than hopeful that their patient might recover. This morning, however, all is changed, and those most closely interested cannot conceal their anxiety. All admit that his condition shows a decided relapse from the hopeful outlook of yesterday: that his temperature Is abnormally high; that blood poisoning has set in and.

that the dreaded Inflammation has made its appearance and is spreading with its usually rapid and fatal rate. STILL AT WORK ON BUDGET. Work on the 1903 budget was continued today, the members of the Board of Estimate meeting in executive session. It was rumored that Borough President Cassidy of Queens was meditating an out burst upon the Mayor and Controller unless allowed a considerable increase in his appropriation. Mr.

Cassidy asked for an increase of 125 per cent. The rumor, was not taken seriously, although it was known that Mr. Cassidy was chafing somewhat. Controller Grout has a weapon to use against the Queens Borough President should he grow obstreperous. He has had a careful tabulation prepared showing what the different borough presidents have accomplished with their appropriations and this proves.

Mr. Grout has already hinted, that Mr. Cassidjwhas not succeeded in making his money do nearly the work, dollar for dollar, as have his other colleagues. This is an unanswerable argument against still larger appropriations. HAKMON1 VS DIBECTOB RESIGNS.

At a special meeting of the Harmonie, East New York, will be held next Sunday, when a new musical director will be elected, A. Lehmann having tendered his resignation. As told In the Eagle, differences recently arose about the selection of the songs to be studied by the society, the same claiming that Mr. Lehmann favored artistic singing, while the Harmonie preferred folks' and popular songs that might be used when the members meet. When a financial question as to the consideration to be paid for Mr! Lehmann's services was ventilated by the members.

Mr. Lehmann resigned. Inasmuch as the anniversary of the society will be celebrated next "Wednesday, the election of a new director Is of great importance. J. J.

HILL'S GIFT TO CHURCH. New London. October 24 Princely offers were laid before the Augustana Synod of the Lutheran Church, in conference here, for the transfer of the Gustavus Adolphus College from St. Peter, to the Twin Cities. C.

A. Smith, a Minneapolis lumberman, gave 50,000,000 feet of pine lumber for the purpose. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad Company and head of the Northern Securites Company, said he would give for every J3 secured by the church to defray the cost of transferring the college. The proportion of this proposal was indicated by a letter from former Governor Lird, notifying the conference that the Twin Cities could be relied on to subscribe DISTINGUISHED CHOQTJET PLAYER The importance of men of sedentary habits yielding themselves to occasional gentle outdoor exercise seems to And a rather notable expression in the case of former Corporation Counsel William C.

DeWItt, who has betaken himself to croquet on the ample area of Prospect Park. Mr. DeWitt (s regarded as an expert, and is said to put up. a very good game. Croquet does not require violent exercise, and it keeps the player exposed to good fresh ozone, which is regarded by most people as an unquestioned benefit to the health.

New York State Is the Largest investor in Government Securities. $394,533,900 OF 2 PER CENTS. Pennsylvania Has the Largest Number of National Banks Foreign Holdings Small. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, October 24 The great activity In the United States bond market of late; resulting from the offers of the Treasury Department to buy outstanding securities, and also to permit the withdrawal of government bonds and the substitution therefor of city bonds as security for government deposits, has aroused much interest in the general question of who holds Uncle Sam's bonds.

For the first time In thirty years the Treasury Department has prepared a statement which shows how the government bonds are distributed among the national banks of the country It Is shown from this statement that New York is the largest and Nevada the smallest investorrin government securities. banks of the country now hold $428,145,980 in government bonds, of which the great bulk $394,533,900 consists of the 2 percent. consuls, of 1930.. A statement of the distri bution of the. 2 per cent bonds.

therefore, i will give a good idea of the extent to which the different states have bought up the government pledges. When the refunding act went into operation, it was found that the 2 per consols were of such particular utility to the national banks of the country that almost the entire loan was lodged with the Treasurer of the United States to secure the circulation issued by the banks. It has always been an easy matter to determine the amount of bonds owned by the national banks and used as collateral for circulation and deposits, but as before stated, no attempt, has been made in recent years to classify the banks by states so as to ascertain what sections have invested most heavily in these securities. The fact that the purchase of these bonds by a community augurs well for the prosperity of that section, makes the table that has been prepared of special interest. The 4,341 national banks have bought and now hold a total of over $428,000,000 government bonds of various issues, but the table here produced relates only to the consols of 1820.

The first statement relates to the number of national banks in each state, and the second tableshows the amount of 2 per cent bonds in each state: No. ofl No. of State, etc. Pennsylvania New' Vork Texas Ohio Illinois Massachusetts state, etc. banks.

The above shows that Pennsylvania ranks first in the matter of national banks, while New York is easily first so far as investment In bonds are concerned, holding $26,000,000 more'than the Keystone State. Texas ranks third as to number of banks, but ninth as to amount invested. Nevada, the territories of Alaska and Porto Rico, the youngest of our possessions, have each one bank holding bonds on deposit with the government.

The State of Nevada has in amount only Alaska has $87,500 and Porto Rico has $250,000. One of the encouraging signs of the times Is found in the manner In which the territories are coming to the front with national banks. Oklahoma has sixty two banks of this character, holding bonds to the amount of $904,500 Invested, while New Mexico, third, has thirteen banks and an investment of $722,50.0, Some Interesting facts have also been developed regarding the foreign holdings of United States bonds. These do not amount to nearly as much as Is generally supposed to be the case. Out of a total of $782,924,320 outstanding, only $16,022,850 Is held by foreigners, and of this amount $12,578,000, held by Insurance companies, are on deposit with the superintendent of Insurance in the various states of the Union.

This leaves the individual foreign holdings of United States bonds but $3,444,850. NEW SET OF JEWELS. Prize Won by Prosperity Lodge, K. and L. of Presented by Guard Officers.

Last night was a gala and memorable one for the members of Prosperity Lodge, Knights and Ladies of Honor, the occasion being the presentation to the lodge of a new set of Jewels of the order by the grand officers. The set of jewels was offered as a prize by the supreme lodge to the lodge having the largest percentage of increase In membership. The presentation was made by Grand Protector S. Mathlas In the new headquarters of Prosperity Lodge in Prospect Hall. Grand Protector Mathlas had with him his entire staff, and Past Grand Protector Robert Livingston, the oldest member of the order.

Mr. Livingston made" a'n address, 'itf which he congratulated Prosperity Lodge for multiplying so rapidly. In addition to Grand Protector Mathias and his staff officers and members from every lodge in Brooklyn and Queena were present to make merry with the members of Prosperity. Dancing followed the speech making and continued until a late hour. AT THE PARK CABOTJSAL.

Captain. O'Grady, who used to be a familiar presence in front of the Central Ho'use at Myrtle avenue and Washington street, and who held some city position, appears, by the whirligig of events, to have found an occupation congenial to his soul. He has become the head and front of the restaurant at the Carousal in Prospect Park: Just the spot for a. citizen of easy and genial manners. Another illustration that sometimes things, are as they should be.

Jackies Will Give $4,000 Ball to Eclipse the One Given by Kearsargfl. EACH MAN ASSESSED $10. Sailors Cheerfully Throw In" Month's Salary. to Beat Flagship, and Admiral Will Lead Grand March. The old axiom that tells of the habit sailors have of.

spending money when they are intoxicated will have to be modified to meet the present conditions In the Navy by the omission of the qualifying term "drunken." The sailors at the Navy Yard at present are arranging for a grand ball, to be given before they go to sea for the winter, and the lavlshness with which they are throwing about their money shows that when they are sober and rational they are not worried about the accumulation of wealth. The sailors will spend about $4,000 for their dance. When it comes to a matter of sustaining the reputation "of their ship, money is the least consideration to "Jack." If money is all that is needed the problem Is an easy one, for the sailors will tosH their month's savings into a hat without asking many ques tions. Their shij) is their home, and it is the only thing that the majority of men have a chance to "spend for. When the ships of the North Atlantic Squadron come to the local Navy'Tard every fall for their annual overhauling, the men take advantage of the opportunity offered to improve their social condition and give dances and balls.

It has been the custom for several years for the crew of each of the ships to give one affair. This has been done for several years, and the balls have nearly always been' enjoyable, but not elaborate occasions. The sailors in former years have contributed two or three dollars for the expenses. The spirit of the Navy this year seems to be to do things on a big. scale.

There are to be big maneuvers. All of the preparations are being made on a larger scale than former years and the spirit of it seems to be in the air. Jack Is. therefore, going to do his share of keeping things up to the standard by giving receptions that will anything undertaken before. Last wcek th crew of the Kearsarge gave its annual ball.

As the Kearsarge is the flagship It was the privilege of the crew to nave tnejr anair first. The men announced that. they, would outdo anything that had been done before and proceeded to mnirf been good the boast by spending something over 51.500 for decorations and flowers and suppers. The crew of the Alabama have called the bluff and have gone In for a ball, on a scale that would make many a millionaire think extravagant. The invitations for the ball were out this morning, announcing that It will be given next Friday evening in the Palace Garden.

The invitations pre cf the finest engraving, with the battleship embossed in gilt. The word was passed around the crew of the Alabama thai "there would be some thin' dqlri' and that the Kearsarge ball would be a inert; Bowery spiel compared to the one. next week Ten dollars, is the sum that each man will put up to make the ball a success. It is thought that a largefpart of the ship's crew will' get aboard for the affair, although there are a' few who will save the ten for a rainy day. But.

there are 600 men in the crew and if 350 or 400 of thom pay the Drice.it is thought that the difficult task of winning the social pennant of the Navy may be accomplished. No man in the ship begrudges the ten, although, it is nearly a month's salary. Rear Admiral Higginson is expected to lead the grand march. Several of. the prominent officers of the Navy will attend.

APATHY OVER ROYAL PARADE. Effort of the King to Please Disappointed Subjects Not Backed TJp by Society. London, October 24 The royal progress through London to morrow, Tvblch has been arranged at considerable expense, with the object of allaying the disappointment caused by the abandonment of the second day's pro cession at the time of King Edward's coronation, promises to be a less fashionable than a popular display. The route is fairly profusely dotted with Venetian masts and the habitual grayness of the streets is relieved by flags, festoons and garlands of paper floweTs. while a few of the more ambitious districts have erected arches.

But among the wealthier ones, who usually bear the brunt of making a success of such occasions, there is a decided lack of interest. The fashionable thoroughfares, Piccadilly and St. James street, will not be traversed, so the wealthy owners of houses which are customarily lavishly deconted have not even taken the trouble to return to town for the occasion. Much curiosity has been aroused by the disappearance of the names the King's daughters from the list of those participating In the procession. Neither the Princesses of Wales.

Fife nor Charles of Denmark are included in the latest official programme, though they appeared "in the earlier ones. Across the Thames, however, where the presence of members of the, royal family is practically unknown, there will be a great turning out of the southslders, who arc bedizening their small houses and shops with a great wealth of color, if little of art. Seats over the water are selling for 60 cents and the few stands erected in the West End lack customers sufficient to fill them. The procession will start from' Buckingham Palace at noon and will consist of the headquarters staff, a naval gun and a detachment of bluejackets, squadrons of Horse Guards, dragoons, hussars and lancers and eight state laudaus with the royal family and mera hers of the household, the rear being' brought up by Lord Roberts, the sovereign's escort of Life Guards, the state carriages containing the King and Queen, escorted by the Prince of Wales, Duke of Conraught. Duke of Argyll, Prince Christian of Schlcswlg Holstein and Prince Charles of Denmark, and a score of equerries and aids.

Their majesties will lunch at the Guildhall and will return to the palace at 3 o'clock; The route of the procession will be lined by about twenty thousand troops. WALLABOTJT ELECTION BETTING. Republicans at Wallabout Market report that at a popular restaurant at that market Sl.ftOfl has been deposited with the proprietor for pledging against $700, that the Republican ticket will be successful at the election to be held on November Wallabout Democrats say they are arranging to take up the bet. The editor of the trade paper Butchers' Advocate appeared at the market one day thle week. In his.

conversation with the commission meat dealers he said that he had just returned from Buffalo, and that the betting on election in Erie. County was on the basis of even money that Bird S. Color would be the next Governor of the State of New York. THREE PAST BOATS FOB ENGLAND. London, October 24 The British admiralty has given out contracts for tho construction of three warships described as "scouts!" They will have a speed of.2p.

knots when in fighting trim, their" ctfgines will be of 17,00.0 horse power and their sea going qualities will be superior to those of the torpedo boat destroyers. this morning, but in the Schuylkill and i Lehigh regions there has been little change from yesterday. All the collieries Delaware, Lackawanna and Western "Company are working with an increased' force of miners. The Ontario and Western Company also started up all of their mines this morning. The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company resumed at two of their mines, hut.

owing to the accumulation of gas, they had to shut down again. The Delaware and Hudson Company has more mines in operation in the Lackawanna district than yesterday, but in the Wyoming region the company could not get an additional colliery started, although steam was up ready to hoist coal. The Lehigh Valley Company reports that it has one more mine in operation this morning than yesterday. A general resumption is not looked for until Monday and, with the mines in opera I uon. tne output ot coal must be somewhat curtailed, as the mines cannot be woried to their full capacity.

As one mine superin tendent expressed it to day. "We are onl feeling our way. It will take some days anything like the normal output will be obtained." PreslJent Mitchell refuses to discuss the action of the Philadelphia and Reading Company in increasing the price of coal 50 cents a ton. He was also requested to give his views on the course pursued by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company toward their men. but declined.

In answer to the published statement that there was some objection to his appearing I before the arbitration commission In be half of the miners, Mr. Mitchell said that 1 he presumed that the miners could select such counsel as 'hey saw fit to present their i case before the commission. Feeling of Unrest in Lykens Valley. Harrisburg, October 24 It is stated here that not 50 per cent, of the men who went out when the strike was declared in the I Lykens Valley region will get their places i back and that only a small number have started to work. Others will be given em ployment, but the coal company has refused i to discharge those who took the places of i men who struck.

I The miners are incensed at. rhist action vv the company and there is a feeling of unrest In the Lykens The company has Fssued an order to the effect only a i limited number of men will be re emplaved and that It will not discharge the men who i have taker, the places of the strikers. 1 I Freshly Mined Coal Leaves for Tide i water. Reading, October 24 The. first train'' of I anthracite coal mined yesterday in the Read i ine Comn.

inv'R cnlliiries was star tori from iv, Schuylkill region after midnight and passed! here shortly before noon to day, bound for tidewater points. More is to come this after noon and evening, and it is probable the shipment for the twenty four hours'ending at midnight will be from 6,000 to 7,000. tons, compared with the former daily run of 10,000 to 15,000 tons. fV." TROOPS TO BE All but Two or Three Regiments Expected to Be Sent Home Before Election Day. Harrisburg.

October 24 General orders for the withdrawal of the troops in the anthracite coal regions were issued by Gov ernor Stone to Major General Miller to day. i The orders do not state the time and manner of withdrawing the troops, but it is expected by the state authorities to bring all them home, with the possible exception of two or three regiments, before election day. This will avoid the necessity ot ap pointing a commission to each regiment to I take the votes of the soldiers in the field and the preparation of special forms of ballots. The prospects are that the troops sent into the region last July will be ordered home before those which were ordered on duty later. Major General Miller's headquarters are at Pottsville and the movement of the troops will be directed from there.

Governor Stone's order to General Miller contains the following: "The purpose for which the division National Guard of Pennsylvania was placed on duty in the several counties of the state, embraced within what is known as the anthracite coal regions, having been accom plied, and peace and order having been restored in the several communities, and it being evident that the local civil authorities will be enabled to preserve the peace and give the necessary and proper protection to life and property the major general commanding division Guard, of Pennsylvania will relieve the troops now on duty and return the several organizations (o their respective home rendezvous as prdmpt ly as conditions will permit. Pottsville. October 24 Major General Miller to day issued an order recalling Batteries A of Philadelphia. of Pittsburg and of Phoenixville. Other troops will be recalled from time to time as conditions warrant.

It is believed that one or more regiments will be ordered home to morrow. HIGH COAL PRICES MAY STICK. Baise of Rates at the Mines Makes Normal Figures Impossible TEis Winter. Coal consumers in this city may as well become reconciled now to a a ton rate for anthracite cool practically all the winter, according to one of the most prominent coal dealers In Brooklyn. Las; winter's price of $6 a ton cannot possibly be reached, according to this dealer, until ttfc great shortage In hard croal production for the year is partially made up.

Except for the partial I I I 1 ot a most excellent quality. It was neces 1 sary to procure mis oeet trom Australia, as the ravages of rinderpest have almost total ly destroyed the cattle, carabao and swine in the archipelago. It is feared now thali on account, of the drought in Australia that! the price of fresh meat will advance, and with this prospect in view steps have been taken to obtain a new market, and the delivery of fresh meat by mercantile vessels." COST OF PUBLIC BATHS. Double the Amount to Be Expended on Those Being Erected in Manhattan. One ot the local borough officials to day called attention to the fact that the public baths which are to be built in Manhattan.

"nde'" of the Bureau of 1 folic are to cost almost twice as much as those to be built in Brooklyn. Three baths arc to be orpctcJ in Manhattan, at a cost of about each, and two in Brooklyn, at a cost of about each. Nevertheless, it was stated to day that the Brooklyn baths arc to be of as fine I an architectural finish and as well equipped i as the Manhattan baths. "The Manhattan baths are to be on a very elaborate design. They are to have marble i staircases, of bronze and bras? and hcavv brass ornaments.

The shower i rooms arc to be of marble and bronze entire ly and the finishings are to be of brown ash wood. i The floor of the Brooklyn baths, which are to be located on Hicks street and on Pitkin avenue, are to be of soapstono of a non absorbent quality, and the finishings are lo be of plain oak. "They are doing everything on a lavish I scale in Manhattan." said a local official this morning, 'and I think Ihey are wasting money. The baths whirh are to be built in Brooklyn arc to be every bit as good as the Manhattan structures, although the outlay is not to be so lavish." DR. JAY N.
