In all cases where miners are paid by the car. the increase awarded to the contract miners Is based upon the cars In use, the topping" required and the rates paid per car which were n force April 1. 1902- Any increase in the size of car, br in the topping re quired, shall be accompanied by a pro portionate increase in the ' rate paid per car.

Such compensation as the appointing Judge may . fix for this accountant or commissioner shall be distributed among the operators In pro portion to the tonnage of each mine. in order that the basis may be laid for the successful working of the slid ing scale provided herein, it 'Is also adjudged and awarded that all coal peratlg companies file at once with the United States commissioner of U- bor a certificate statement of the rates of compensation paid in each occupa tion known in thf ir companies as they existed April 1, 1?02. 9.

The commission also makes a num ber of 'recommendations which may be summed up as follows: piscontinuance of the system of employing "the coal and Iron police," because this force is believed to have an irritating effect, ad a resort to the regularly constituted peace authorities in case of necessity. Also discontiuance of deputies paid by the coal companies. - . A stricter enforcement of the laws In relation to the employment of chil dren. That the state and federal govern-' ments should provide machinery for the making of a compulsory investi gation of difficulties slmilarto the in vestigation which this commission has made. The commission expresses the opinion that within a few modifica tions the federal act of October, 1888, authorizing a commission to settle controversies between .railroad corpo rations and other common carriers could be made the basis of a law for arbitration In the anthracite coal min ing business. The commission, however, takes a decided position against compulsory arbitration. On this point they add a quite" lengthy commentary, which closes in the . following language: "The chief benefit to be derived from the suggestion herein made lies In placing the real facts and responsibil ity for such condition ----nively before the people, that public opinion may crystalize and make its power felt. Could such a commission aa that suggested have been brought Into ex istence in June last, we believe the coal famine might have been averted certainly the suffering and depriva tion might have been" greatly miti gated." . These awards and recommendations constitute the closing part. of the re port. The earlier pages and. by long odds, the largest part of the report, are devoted to a review of the controversy which led to the president's action and appointing the commission, to the ap pointing itself and to the proceedings of the commission during its exist ence. " They review in a general : way the production of anthracite coal, re fer to thesmall area of country Jn which it is produced, and" dwell at some length- on the market conditions and the price of coal. They also refer to ithe hazardous nature of. anthracite coal mining and give an estimate of the losses occasioned by the .strike. These losses they estimate as follows: To the mine owners. 46,100,000. To the mine employees In wages, $25,- 000.000. To the transportation companies, $28,000,000. r broaonax'sTrime If Not Removed He '.Would Likely Have Been Lynched Reldsville, N. C March 21. Special. Sheriff Frank Pinnix and J. E. Lam beth returned from Greensboro where thv carried' Broadnax, the murderer of Sidney Blair. They did not; accom pany him to Raleigh.. The crime Is the general topic of conversation throughout the county Many are of the opinion that if the negro had not been removed from the county Jail he would have been lynched. Others think there was more talk than anything ciee. The remains of Blair were burled to day, witnessed by a large concourse, of friends and relatives. .The deceased had the reputation of a. reiser through out the county, and the impression was that Tie kept large sums of money hidden . on the premises.- Broadnax was acquainted with the premises and nA man's habits, and he " knew w. - . , where some money had been hidden; The negro thosfe the time for: attack well. No trains were passing at that hour, and the nearest neighbors, living at some distance, could . be . counted upon to be doing their evening's work at home.

Senator Simmons On the Cuban Reciprocity treaty The Concessions iWill Be of Advantage Mo-''Southern Cotton and Lumber ln lerests Extent of Caba's Foreign Trade Washington, March 21. Special. Senator Simmfcis, explaining the pro visions of the Cuban treaty Just rati fied by the Senate, before leaving for his home last nlgrht, said: "The concessions, given by the Cuban treaty would be of great benefit to the south, especially to the cotton goods anl lumber industries of that section. Cuba is now using a considerable amount of southern pine lumber and paying high prices for it.! Last year the bought of us about $1,500,000 worth of unplaned pine lumber. By the treaty Cuba agrees that ' during the next five years, and as long after as the treaty remains in force, our lum ber shall be admitted to her markets free of duty. The next five years will doubtless be years of great activity in building in Cuba, for, leaving out of consideration the" rebuilding made nec essary by the destruction of war, the exploitation and development of the island by American and other foreign capital will enormously Increase the demand for building materials of all kinds. With proper effort our south ern lumbermen ought to sell Cuba dur inir the next five years an average of between $3,000,000 and 15,000,000 worth of lumber. "Cuba also agrees that, during the life of the treaty, our cotton and wool en manufactures shall be admitted to her markets at rates of duty ranging from 25 to 40 per cent less than the rates of duty imposed oa similar arti cles from other foreign countries. Cu ba is now buying'nearly, $6,000,000 worth of cotton per annum. Of ? this amount we only furnished her last year about a half million "dollars worth. With the return of prosperity on the island, which now seems certain, Ci v will buy an average per annum, o probably $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 worth 'of cotton goods during the next five jars. With a preferential tariff of itrttff 25 tov 40 per cent we will undoubtedly sell her all the cotton goods she needs. The same is true of woolen goods, of which Cuba is now buying about $1,000,000 a year, of which amount we seli only a few thousand dollass worthl "Cuba buys large amounts of meat, lard, hams, mules, horses and cattle. We sold her last year about $6,000,000 worth of these products. The treaty Just ratified, gives us a preferential duty upon these articles of 20 per cent, and in" the future we will self her a much larger proportion of theee pro ducts than in the past. Cuba al?o ngrees to give us a preferential duty on flour and rice, both of which arti cles she buys in large quantities, of 30 and 40 per cent respectively. Last year Cuba bought from the outside world about $70,000,000 worth of merchandise and products of various kinds. With the prosperity and development which is anticipated, her foreign purchases should average at least $100,000,000 a year during the next, five years. She is how buying from us only about $28, 000,000 worths a year. When the treaty goes into effect and our goods are 'al lowed to enter her rrlarket at rates of duty ranging from 25 to 50 per cent; lower than like goods from other coun tries we will supply practically her whole import trade, and the south, by reason of proximity, will get the bulk of this trade and nearly all of the cot ton trade because the south makes the kind of cotton goods the Cubans use. . "The sugar interest of the south and west opposed the treaty because it re duces the duty oh Cuban sugar 20 per cent. The present duty on sugar is one and sixty-eight one-hundredths- cents per pound, which is equivalent to an ad valorem duty of over 85 per cent. The reduction of 20 per cent would still i!xa a.' dutv on sugar of nearly 68 per cent. The practical effect will not be to reduce the price of American Bdgar. for that is fixed by the world's price of sugar with the duty added. The only effect. In my Judgment, will be to give Cuba 20 per cent advantage in .our high price American market over other foreign sugar producing countries. "Some objection is also made to the reduction of 20 per cent on Cuban to bacco imported into this country. We only bought from Cuba last year about 19,000,000 f pounds of leaf tobacco not much" more than is sold every year in cither the markets of Winston or Wil son. Upon this tobacco we now im pose a duty of 77 per cent ad valorem. With the 20 per cent reduction there will still be a duty of over 6p per cent ad valorem. 'Upon Cuban cigars , we now Impose a duty of 104 per cent. Af ter the reduction .of 20 per cent there will still be a duty of over 84 per cent. There is really no danger of any great amount of Cuban tobacco coming Into this country, and what comes, being of ; a different grade, will not in reality compete with out tobacco. ' "Some objection bas been made to the treaty because the tariff concesr ions given by Cuba do not apply to American tobacco imported into Cuba. There is no force irt this objection. We do not import . leaf tobacco into Cuba, because the Cuban duty on leaf tobacco is absolutely prohibitory, being h per pound. We do not jiow export cigars and cigarettes to CubV because the Cuban duty "on cigars and ciga rettes is $4.50 per" pound and 25 per cent ad valorem in addition. These duties are prohibitory . and with a 20 or 40 per cent reduction would' still be pro hibitory. "The policy' of Cuba has been to ab solutely exclude all foreign tobacco from the .island, not to prevent com petition but because it is claimed that the reputation of f Cuban tobacco throughout ..'the wjjrld (the high price of Cuban tobacco depending largely upon its reputation) would be mined by ' the suspicion that it was adulterated j hy admixture with lower grades of to- j bacco. Cuba, therefore, contended in the nejroliation that a 20 cr 40 per cent reduction. on our tobacco would do us. no good, while it , rcig-ht . Impair the ; reputation of her tobacco throughout the world. The Cuban duty on plug : tobt-cco and snuff is not absolutely pro- J hlbitory, being respectively 10 and J 12 la cents per pound; but the Cubans I ani not chewers of tobacco, and we ; onlj- told that country last year about j $21,000 worth of plug tobacco, and ie3a than $3,000 worth of snuff. "I believe we will in a few years con trol the trade of Cuba almost as f utly as we row control our domestic trade." The speech which the senator mode on the treaty was of course mide in executive session and was not taken don w by the stenographers, and if it had been taken down, could not be published on account of the injunction of secrecy which applies to all speeches rnsde In executive session. LARGE HOSPITAL " - . - Another Important Enterprise at Greensboro Is Assured Greensboro. N. C, March 21. Special. A large and splendidly equipped hos pital for Greensboro is one of the strong probabilities of the near future. For some time certain parties have been working In conjunction with the Sisters of Charity for the establishment, of a large hospital, and today it was. an nounced, that plans "for building; and equipping the institution would bep re pared at once. An option ha been -secured. on an available piece of property in Summit avenue which can be pur chased for $10,"X)0. Of this amount $4,000 has been subscribed by citizens of Greensboro and the remainder will be-paid by the Sisters of , Charity. The lot has a frontage on Summit avenue of 600 feet and is 310 feet in depth. Bev. Father Lennorj of Emmitsburg, Mr., financial .agent and business man ager for the Sisters of Charitjv says the organization will spend not less than $100 000 in building and equipping the hospital, . which" is to be second to no Institution of the kind south of Bal timore. Room will be provided for 100 patients and a force - of from 15 to 25 nurses will be' employed. In addition a training school for nurses will also be conducted. RANDOLPH COURT Light Sentence for Murder In Second Degree Asheboro, N. C, March 21. Special. Randolph superior court has been in session this week and - will continue throughout the greater part of next week. The criminal, docket was com pleted Thursday evening and the grand jury dismissed yesterday. The 6nly case on the criminal docket of any im portance was the case -of the State vs. Oscar Williams for the murder of .La fayette Routh last fall. The main wit ness in the case diid'aTfew weeks ago. Williams submitted to . murder in the second degree, ind Judge McXeill, af ter hearing the testimony, sentenced him to the penitentiary for 15 months. This is a very light sentence but a light sentence was expected. AUDUBON SOCIETY . . . Sheriff Jordan of Guilford Elected President Greensboro, X- C, March 21 Special.

Hayes Wants to Come tb Raleigh BY AS J. PESfE Washington, March 21 Special. The indications are that Samuel Viclc, Wil son's negro postmaster, will come prominently before the public within the next week. For four months past President Roosevelt has been puzzling his brain to find out how he could bounce Vick from office and at the same time maintain the friendship, and good will of his owii the negro voters of the land. He has finally decided upon a plan. First Assistant Post master General Wynne, who is acting as postmasteh general in the absence of Mr. Payne, announced today that he expected to issue next, week, probably Monday, a statement giving the, rea sons for Vick's removal. "This state ment has been promised for weeks and weeks, but at last it appears to be forthcoming. Among other things it will contain 'a letter from Senator Pritchard, setting forth that he has been friendly to the colored people and that Vick's removal is not to be con strued -as an. affront to the man in black. In ' this public way President Roosevelt will announce the appoint ment of Dr. Pearson and apoligise for removing the colored postmaster. The play is strictly for the benefit of the negro voters of the country. North Carolina will be pleaed to know that Senator Lee S. Overman, who re turned home last night; has aken very high rank among his colleagues in the Senate during his short stay here. Many nice things have been said re cently about the Junior senator from the state, who has made a splendid im pression, not only among the Demo crats, but among Republican as well. The excellent impression that he has already made upon the Senate leaders such as Gorman, Aldrich, Hann, Mor gn and othess will redound alike". to the interest of himself and his state. Mr. Overman has : the' goodr Judgment to realize" that "he can accomplish nothing by talk during his early senatorial ex perience. He is equipping .himself, on the gret questions that will confront Congress next year. Lee S. Overman does his own thinking, and in him North Carolina has a representative worthy of the state and worthy of the greatest deMbertive body on earth.
