Bituminous Is alsi on a good plane, for there Is a better condition of Industrial affairs generally than there has been in many years, and that will help the consumption of fuel; we have all along stated that there would be a large year's business for 1905, and the coal industry must feel it, for coal Is ! the foundation of all manufacturing I activity. T|'ith the opening of the new contract season, all the operators and shippers feel much encouragement, and they are inclined to make up for the losses of last summer, when genr eral industrials were at a low ebb. There was an oversupply of coal, and It seems, on looking backward, that the mines were kept going for the benefit of the workers, rather than for the owners. No one can take up the reports that come to hand from all parts of the country without feeling encouraged over the situation, present and prospective; the prices that will rule will be no better than at the opening of last year's active season, but there will be that ether and perhaps more agreeable feature—ton- tonnage will be larger. We have a position in leading the world's coal production, and it Is the supply of cheap fuel that is making the Industrial situation in the country what it is— paramount. Reopened.

Chicago, March 29.—Thomas J. Connors, many times a millionaire and director and manager of Armour § Co., has been indicted by the federal grand jury for attempting to "corruptly influence witnesses" ill attendance on the beef trust investigation. Connors was arrested last night and gave bond for $rD.(KX). tions." In the same application Jacob H. Schiff, the eminent philanthropist and banker. Is accused of having violated the law In selling millions of dollars' worth of securities to the Equitable, of which he is a director, and of having reaped wrongful profits by acting In the capacity of both buyer and seller. HOLINESS BAND ISOLATED. Chicago Band of Religious Enthusiasts The witness whom Cfllinors is accused of attempting to corrupt is John E. Shields of New York city. Connors was formerly manager of the Armour house in New York and has known Shields for many years. "We have what is culled the Missouri idea'—the idea that citizenship in a free country implies a civic obligation to enforce the performance of every public trust and holding every public official to strict accountability before enlightened public opinion foi all official acts. No treaty and no protocol is involved this time. The new arrangement is carefully made to avoid any of the difficulties which the senate was able to lay In the way of the last one. This result is arrived at by having Kantc Domingo arrange the whole matter her self. Attacked by Smallpox. Chicago, March 25).—I). M.

The indicted man ranks as the first confidential employee of the Armour plant. He is, in fact, the active head of the largest packing company in the world. He was arrested at 7 o'clock last evening on a bench warrant, and a United States deputy marshal escorted him to the grand jury room. With the consent of United States District Attorney Morrison lie was released 011 a $5,(ND0 bond. "Bribery had become the usual thing all over the land. Men took bribes and thought nothing of it.

She decides to place all her ports under the charge of some special commissioners, who are to take the revenue and place it in a New York bank to discharge the debts when the treaty is ratified. The foreign creditors agree to this, and Santo Domingo appoints the commissioners herself. All she asls the president to do is to suggest somi names to her for the coinmissiouerships. This the president will proceed to do, and Santo Domingo will appoint the men he recommends. The usual residence of Parson and ills followers is Holiness home. Franklin boulevard, this city.

The church does not believe in medical aid, and when the authorities of Ottawa, III., were notified that Parson and forty of his adherents were on the way to Buffalo Hock farm, near Ottawa, prompt action was taken to head off the band. The pilgrims avoided a conflict with the Ottawa authorities by stopping the train a mile from town and walking across the country. Two of the disciples were sick and went in wagons. One of the elements that is to make for a large tonnage this year, asidu from the fact that business of all kinds using coal looks to be in good shape for some months to come, would be the disposition on the part of all users to keep supplies up to the normal at least, for there may be some disturbance in the wages line h year from now. Not that wages are low, but that the very successful campaigns carred on in recent years, due very often to the suineness of the employer, make the leaders of the workers anxious for more, until it is "give, give, give." The public pays the bill, and in times of prosperity with them there is no great opposition, but a time may come when there will be. n any event, if seems to us that the experience of years teaches one to carry a good supply of coal; It Is good property to have and to hold. As the season advances, we think that this position will be held to be one that should be maintained, and our constituents will thank us for the views we have put formard. if they take advantage thereof. "From Missouri the idea spread from state to state, until from ocean to ocean the fight was waged against the evil. It has not been long since bribery was looked upon as somewhat conventional. Now it is regarded as a crime akin to treason—the treason of peace, more dangerous than the treasou of war." Connors is accused of attempting to tamper with the testimony of more than one witness, but the indictment specifically charges that lie interfered with .I0I111 K. Shields of Brooklyn, a former employee of Armour & Co., who testified before" a federal grand jury in New York city and who has been in Chicago since Monday. The indictment alleges that when Shields arrived in Chicago 011 last Saturday Connors, on behalf of the beef trust, met liini and made improper offers to prevent Shields from becoming a witness for the government. There is nowhere any loophole for opposition such as was made to the treaty and the protocol in the former case. tions "Said Hyde has frequently extravagantly entertained persons to whom he was desirous of giving social attention and has wrongfully taken the expense of such entertainment from the treasury of said society on the claim that such entertainment benefited said society by advertising It, and that, therefore, such expense should be paid by It, an instance of such practice being the entertainment of M. Cambon. late minister from France to the United States. Before the cabinet meeting the president conferred on this matter with Mr. Taft, Mr. Moody and Senators Lodgt and Spooner.

Important Georgia Decision. Atlanta, Ga„ March 29.—The supreme court of Georgia has rendered an important decision regarding the liabilities of stockholders. It holds in Allen versus Grant that a subscriber to capital stock in a corporation becomes a participant in a trust fund for the benefit of creditors of the corporation and is liable for full C£ par value of his stock. If he has paid less than par value for the stock he is liable for the difference between what he paid and par. The decision also holds that tills responsibility attaches to the transfer of such stock where he knows that full value has not been paid to the coloration.In the afternoon Mr. Taft took these instructions to Acting Secretary ot State Adee In the form of a letter from the president." How Witness Was Approached. Agents of the department of justice were iu touch with the movements of both men. The indictment alleges that Connors took Shields to the main office of the Armour company and furnished him witli the use of a private telegraph wire. It is further asserted that Shields was then entertained not only by Connors, but by several other employees of the beef trust and that the direct suggestion was made to him that he would lie financially better off by testifying favorably iu behalf of Armour & Co.
