New York, Sept. 2.—Peace and prosperity succinctly express the results of an eventful week. International mercantile markets responded to the cessation of hostilities, and a period of commercial development may be expected to follow the return of confidence. Capital that had been diverted into bellicose channels will be used for construction instead of destruction, and the United States will secure a stronger hold on the markets of the orient. Domestic reports were scarcely less encouraging. Leading branches of manufacture are increasing productive capacity, especially In departments pertaining to railway equipment. Textile mills have little idle machinery, footwear factories are running freely, while in structural work there is no evidence of lessening activity. Visiting buyers still throng the great jobbing centers anil place orders for distant delivery that testify to faith in a vigorous demand from consumers. Western receipts of 5;010,(!00 bushels of wheat compare with 5,770,351 last year, and exports from all ports of the United States were 1,1)83,515 bushels, flour included, against 1,445,625 in the same week of 1004. Interior arrivals of 4,002,(J40 bushels of corn compare with 4,100,030, and Atlantic coast exports were 710,080 bushels against 510,248. Prices have fallen to a position attractive to exporters, and the grain markets are more nearly normal than at any recent date.

Sept. 2. — A notable board of engineers assembled In Washington upon the request of President Roosevelt to determine the relative feasibility of a sea level or lock canal in the division of the American continent at Panama. The proceedings were opened by the reading of the letter of the president calling them together and a letter from Chairman Shonts of the commission, which gives in detail the purposes for which the engineers are convened. The letter in part New York, Sept. 2.—John Arbuckle, philanthropist, announced that lie intends to erect a home at New Paltz for men and women, old and young, who need employment in the open air and nutritious food in order to bring them back to a condition of health that will enable them to withstand the wear and tear of city life. Work upon the home has begun. Ground has been been broken, and the plans and specifications for the building have been drawn. Seemingly satisfied that the Equitable society finally had recovered from Senator Depew aud his associates In the Depew Improvement company the $293,850.82 due on the $250,000 loan made several years ago, President Morton refused positively to discuss the act of restitution. The big check was turned over to the cashier of the society to be applied for the benefit of \the policy holders. bones. The Japanese envoys refused their consent to a complete cessation of hostilities until the treaty has been signed, stating as the reason that as their troops are widely scattered over vast areas of territory it would not be possible to get word to all the commanders in the field. Most of the passengers in the rear of the first section, which was an ordinary coach, were bruised and some of them were scalded by escaping steam from the engine of the second section, which burled itself in the car up to the engine cab. The home proper will be known as the "Colony Building on Mary and John Arliuckle's Farm." Mr. Arbuckle has had small cards printed showing the building as it has been planned. An explanatory note on the card says in reference to the title of the farm, "My wife has better judgment and a bigger heart than I have, so her name goes first." says To Reform the Engineer Corps. The car next forward was somewhat smashed, but none of the passengers In it were hurt. Among those Injured are: "During flic last year additional surveys and observations have been made upon the isthmus, the results of which are Inld before you. It may be stated here in general terms that the information which they furnish does not involve any radical change in the plans previously favored. Among the observations alluded to may be included the experience of the last year In excavating the Culebra cut. from which some of our engineers have drawn unwarranted conclusions as to the probable cost of the work. There is nothing in this experience to justify the belief that the unit prices used in previous estimates were too high or that the estimate of the time required for completing the work was too liberal. Washington, Sept. 2.—Naval circles arc keenly interested in a special report which Secretary Bonaparte is to make to the president on the re-establishment of the euginflbr corps. This report, which is an outgrowth of the Bennington Inquiry, will, it is understood, not advise full re-efetftblishment, but will compromise in favor of a system whereby line officers showing themselves best qualified for engineer work shall be assigned to such duty. Mr. Bonaparte is now going over the matter with Admiral Mcltuu, chief of the bureau of steam engineering. Japan indicated a willingness to arrange an immediate armistice, and with this object in view M. Wittc. Baron Bosen and the secretaries of the Russian mission went to Baron Komura's room in the hotel to make the arrangement. They were much surprised to find that Baron Komurn was under instructions from his government not to make an armistice arrangement immediately effective. Feel Ini|Deiidi»g Doom.

LABOR DAY CLOSE BY CARBONDALE MINE CASE COAL LAND PURCHASE. BANKERS & BROKERS. Plan Adopted by Congress. Opening Play at the llroad Street Tlie- "The plan described in the first pamphlet (which is submitted among other papers) is the one which was adopted by congress—at least by inference—In the act approved June 28, 1002. It is the plan under which the work is now progressing and under which all work of construction lias been done since the United States acquired the property. It closely resembles the plan of the comite technique, described in the second pamphlet, in many essential particulars, but differs from it In the height of the Bohio dam and the important results which flow The advantages which Its authors expected to derive from this change Were: Will be Quietest Hereabout Tha Black Diamond Has ntcr. Last Evening, Gave Gen- Big Tract in Old Forge Been Idle for 3 Weeks. eral Satisfaction, in Years. The Broad Street Theater was opened last evening for the season of 1905-06 with the musical comedy "Bankers and Brokers." York and Adams, the comedians, were clever in their mannerisms and they had some good bits of repartee. The two, according to the play's plot, enter Into partnership with B. Dunne Good, who has not discovered the easy side of Wall street and thinks to "skin" "Pincus" and "Plonsky." He has just married Molly Sweet, who has been threatened with disinheritance by her father's will should she marry before her twenty-flrst year, so that B. Dunne Good "needs the money and he needs it mighty bad." Molly—Mrs. Good— has 100 shares of oil stock, but it Is not worth more than the paper, at least so thinks B. Dunne Good, as Molly gives him the stock for safe keeping. In turn the sealed envelope passes back and forth between no less than 10 persons, none of them even opening it, all suppslng it worthless, until the fact develops that the stock has gone up to 5,000. Then ensues a wild scramble for the discovery of the lucky persons who holds the stock and from this arise many amusing complications. Many songs, of them rather catchy, were sung by the chorus and various soloists. While the chorus was not of great volume the songs were well sung, the dancing was good, the members were pretty and the costumes were unusually pretty and appropriate.Changes Hands. Baron Iloscn was questioned on the Japauese refusal to allow the armistice to go into operation until after the treaty of peace has been signed.

"It was Certainly," he said, "the Japanese who acted against the wishes of the Russians in postponing the operation of the armistice. Such an agreement as an armistice between forces continuously belligerent against each other should take effect as quickly as messages can be sent to the several commanders. Such delay as that proposed is stupid. It sometimes takes weeks to draft a treaty of peace, and is it to be supposed that the war must go on all that time?" W. G. Thomas, of West Plttston, manager of the Black Diamond Coal Co., whose colliery Is located at Carbondale, has requested the Anthracite Conciliation Board to hold its meeting set for Sept. 12, in Wilkesbarre, before that date. M. Lewis. Sans Soucl A valuable and extensive change of property was recorded this week In the ottice of the recorder of deeds of Lackawanna county, conveying the Hunter and Turner tracts of land near Old Forge, Lackawanna county, to This city will have one of the quietest Labor days in Its history next Monday. In the city there will be nothing doing, either in pleasure or business lines. All the mines and the various places of business will be closed, and the day will be observed as a general holiday. In all the cities of this region practically lliu same conditions will exist. There will be a parade in Scranton, and the laboring nun of tile two valleys are expected to gather later at Itocky Glen, where the Scrahton Central Labor Union will conduct a mammoth picnic and outing. Members of Pittston and Wllkesbarre Central Labor Unions will Join in thi' affair. It is expected that a very large gathering from thin city will visit the glen and listen to the list of speeches that will be delivered. The principal speakers will be Hon. J. T. Hunt, of St. Louis, Mo., a member of Congress who was formerly leader of the stone masons. John Mitchell will be present also and will deliver an address. Other labor leaders have been marked down for "First.—To take fuller advantage of the topography of the country, by which it was possible to make the Gigante spillway automatic instead of mechanical and adequate for the discharge of the greatest floods, with only one channel to the sea instead of two.

The entire building, which is to be 210 by fifi feet, will bo surrounded by u broad veranda, glass inclosed, in the summer time the inmates who are not employed in the fields will Work there under conditions which will practically amount to being in the open air. Mr. Thomas' request is actuated by the fact that the Black Diamond colliery has been tied up for the past three weeks by a strike. H. B. Schooley and H. C. Smythe, esq., of Wllkosbarre. The purchase consists of too acres of valuable coal laud, which was owned by (J. M. Lewis, of Wyalusing. The tract is at present leased to the Elllott-McClure Coal Co., which corporation is removing the coal on a royalty basis. It has not been announced yet whether the present method if securing the coal will bo carried out or whether the new owners will undertake ,the work of mining it themselves. The purchasers of the property secured the assignment of the lease with the property rights of the purchase. The principal cause of the strike is the company's alleged violation of the award of the anthracite strike commission in having stopped payment on the instead of the net earnings. The company stopped paying the sliding scale on July 1 of last year. The men objected and requested that the balance due them for that time be paid. The company declined and, it is alleged, were loath to confer with the employes, who are practically all Slavish. "Second.—To increase the distance of lake navigation from seven to nearly thirteen miles. Rushing the Treaty, "Third.—To reduce the estimated cost of the canal by about $15,01)0,000. "But the Japanese say that the delay in proclaiming the armistice will take place simply because of commanders being in distant parts of the field." was remarked. Mr. Arbnckle. who believes that there is much wisdom in many minds, invited the people of New York to give him the benefit of their advice. To this end he Issued the following notice: "The disadvantage of the change is the somewhat greater dlfliculties in constructing the higher dam and the locks of greater lift, dlfliculties, however, which are by no means insuperable."That's altogether absurd," was M Plancon's reply. Progress was made in drafting the pence treaty with remarkable rapidity. Professor IDCD Martens and Mr. Detinison had two sessions yesterday, and ten articles of the document were completed. The document when finished will have fifteen articles. This was followed up, the miners allege, by the discharge of the president and secretary of the local composed of the men at the colliery, without apparent reason, which added another thorn In the sido of the men. "One hundred dollars paid for the best idea how to provide work for old men and women, lame and crippled; also young men and women who cannot go to workshops on Mary and John Arbucklcs' farm, where buildings are being erected in which they will live and work under the best conditions. Almost everything can be produced on the farm, so they can live on one-half what it would cost In the city, thus enabling them to feel independent and self supporting and regain their self respect." "A disadvantage which the two plans have In common is that the rapid developments of naval architecture make it difficult to determine the proper dimensions of the lock chambers, it is to be considered, however, that up to the present time such development has not been greatly hampered by deficient depth in the harbors of the world and that development hereafter will have that obstruction to contend with. Moreover, it is not possible to dispense with locks entirely. Even with the sea level canal a tide lock will lie required at the Panama end. Engaged people should remember that, after marriage, many quarrels can be avoided by keeping their digestion in good condition with Electric- Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Bennettsvtlle, S. C., says: "For years my wife suffered intensely from dyspepsia, complicated with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor and became a mere wreck of her former self. Then she tried Electric Bitters which helped her at once, and linully made her entirely well. She Is now strong and healthy." Wm. C. Price, Chas. Waters, Geo.
