The Smallest American Watch At This Season of New York State May Lose Twelve Senate Dlicmae* the Anthracite Coal Millions In Taxes, Famine. Tho Yoar, Albany, N. Y., Jan. (J.—It is said that the third appellate division of the supreme court will within twenty-four hours hand down a decision declaringthe franchise tax law passed by the legislature of 1899 unconstitutional so far as it relates to the state constitution.Washington, Jan. 6.—When the senate reconvened after the holiday recess, few senators were absent. Almost Immediately a discussion began regarding the coal situation. Mr. Lodge prefaced his Introduction of a bill suspending for ninety days the duty on coal with the statement that In New England there was much distress owing to the scarcity of coal and that unless relief was afforded at once a number of factories would have to shut down. Mr. Culberson followed with a resolutloc providing for the removal of the dutj on anthracite coal and asked its immediate consideration. Mr. Piatt (Conn.) objected, and the resolution went over. Mr. Vest also introduced a resolution on the subject. Read Before Legislature Will Soon Be Obtainable Only The "Waltliam Watcli Co. delivered to New York the day before Christmas the first five of their new model Ladies' Watch. Wo were fortunate to secure one of them. It is just the size of a five cent piece, fully jeweled and adjusted, and an accurate timekeeper. It is the smallest, handsomest and most desirable Ladies' Watch made. Would be pleased to show it to any one interested. Just prior! to our Semi-Annual Inventory we find ourselves overstocked in certain departments. Believing that the first loss is generally the least, we have clipped the original selling figured in many cases right in two in order to reduce our stock to" its proper limit Legislature. Organized at Noon Today. 1 1 7 at Fabulous Prices. Today. The decision is one of the most important both to the state and corporations ever given in this Btate. So far $12,000,000 in taxes is involved, the 'state by the decision practically losing that amount of money and the corporations gaining it, while lit least $4,000,- 000 a year in future revenues also is involved.STATE OF COMMONWEALTH RAILWAY AGREEMENT ENDS PROCEEDINGS WERE TAME Remarkable Increase in Work—The The Independent Collieries Now Able The Organization Plan'Adopted by the Finances—Various Departments— to Charge Such Prices to the Coal Republican Caucuses Was Carried Praise for the Guard—Review of Carriers That Cost at Tidewater is 75c Ladies1 Wrappers Note former prices.

Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 6.—Following Is the full text of Governor Stone'3 message, as read to the Legislature today: Another resolution bearing on the subject of coal introduced by Mr. Jones (Ark.) recited the charge, of W. It. Hearst that there was an illegal combination among certain rullroads to control the shipment of anthruclte coal and called on the uutirney- general for evidence which It was alleged had be.en secured by him. It caused a lively debate, in which several Republican senators vigorously resented what they thought was a reflection on the attorney general. The resolutl6n went over, being displaced by the omnibus statehood bill. Mr. Nelson (Miim.) addressed the senate in opposition to the bill and favored a single statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory. New York, Jan. G.—With practically every available ton of coal that is being brought to the city in the hands of the Independent operators and jobbers, there is facing the consumer not only a dearth of fuel, but such as can be purchased promises to be obtainable only at fabulous prices. Coal has jumped to $10 a ton "on board" or at tidewater. This Is uu increase of $5 a toil to dealers.Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 6.—Promptly at noon today the Legislature of 1902-3 was called to order and organization effected. Practically no change has been made in the Senate or Houso chambers, despite the fact that building operations are in progress on all sides of the capitol. The plan of organization decided upon at the Republican caucuses held last night was carried out, and on this account there was very little Interest aroused todaj by the formal5 proceedings. Hon. John M. Scott, member of the Senate from the Sixth district, Philadelphia, was elected president pro tem of the Senate. The Democratic members cast their votes for Senator J. Henry Cochran, of Lycoming. Edward W. Smiley, of Franklin, was re-elected chief clerk, and Herman P. Miller, of Harrlsburg, succeeded himself as Senate librarian. The remainder of the officers and employes of the Senate will be selected by the Republican slate committee, appointed by last night's caucus, which will report after the recess of the Legislature. .On taking his seat, President pro tem Scott made a lengthy speech, recommending a short session, wise legislation for labor and . capital, ballot reform, care of the insane and careful distribution of money to charities.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS Remember that for Underwear and Hosiery our stock is the largest; our prices, as usual, the Through the abrogation of the "05 per cent" agreement between the Independent operators and the anthracite railroads, the Temple Coal compuny, at least 1,500,000 tons of coal a month that would have been sold at tidewater for $5 a ton are delivered iuto the hands of the Independents to furnish to retailers and then consumers at any price that can be wrung from those who are now absolutely at the mercy of speculators. SertDral of the largest retailers expressed the opinion that within the next few days coal would have advanced to $12 or $15 a ton. Officials of the coal carrying railroads were equally convinced that high prices would prevail for many weeks, with the quantity limited until May 1. Hew Year'n Toaat on I'ol.on Bottle, Two years ago, we seemed to have reached a standard of prosperity which could not again be equalled, but the last two years have made records far In excess of the most sanguine liopes. All branches of industry have prospered, and the state has profited in proportion. Our revenues have been Increased from unexpected sources, and while we have had unlooked for expenses, the balance In the treasury has constantly Increased.

This Inscription wa| found op the wrapper of a four ounVj bottle of whisky which was presented to James E. Bailey of this city on New Year's day. Inside the wrapper was a paper beurlng the Initials "M. H. S." and "D. J. S." Bailey removed enough of the wrapper to extract the cork. He drank of the contents and in an hour was dead. His wife also tasted the liquor on noticing her husband's first symptoms of pain. She may recover. Coroner Law has the bottle and Bailey's stomach for analysis.

Upon investigation It was learned that the mail In question was an inoffensive crank named Itomnin, who arrived here ill the morning from Laon.s He managed to enter the courtyard of the palace and then tried t(,» obtain i/ccess to President Loubet to explain to him the design of an airship, as he was convinced the president would furnish the $200,000 necessary to complete the invention. Romaln was easily Induced to go to the police hospital.In acknowledging the truth of the situation the railroad officials emphatically disavowed any responsibility for the present and predicted condition of the coab market and said their agreements with the independent operators had beeu abrogated through the greed of speculators and middlemen and Independents to take advantage of the high prices that have prevailed. While the railroad officials say that for their own coal they, will continue to charge $5 a ton at tidewater, retailers are equally positive In their declaration that it is and has been Impossible for them to obtain any at that price If the coal roads have it.

At the beginning of the present administration, there was a large deficit in the state treasury. At the beginning of the last session of the legislature, there was a of a million and a half of dollars. After deducting all outstanding debts and the unusual and unexpected expenditure of over a million dollars for the suppression of Industrial disturbances, the beginning of the present fiscal year shows a balance of over seven millions of dollars. This is a magnificent showing, and reflects great credit upon the accounting officers of the commonwealth. It is true that 1791,459.35 of this sum was received from the general government in payment of Civil War and Spanish-American War claims, but quite a percentage of the surplus is due to the great increase in the business of the state. The report of the state treasurer will show you that the receipts of the general fund for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1902, were $19,- 374,093.53, or over $2,300,000 in excess of the receipts for 1901, which were the largest in the history of t! a commonwealth.BRENNAN & ROBERTS, In the House, Henry F. Walton, of Philadelphia, was elected Speaker, he having been the unanimous choice ot the Republican caucus, The Democrats voted for Henry M. Castner, of Lycoming. Thomas H. Garvin, of Delaware, was re-elected chief clerk, and Charles B. Johnson, of Montgomery, succeeded himself as resident clerk. The other officers will be selected by the slate committee. Speaker Walton made a brief speech, in which he quoted from his speech on being elected speaker in 1895 and advised wisdom and celerity in the proceedings ot the House.

"It is out of the consumers' pockets that must now come the money to pay the fiddler for those who djmced during the coal strike and during these weeks that have followed, when dealers have been lining their pockets from the exorbitant prices that have been asked for coal." That was the way in which the situation was summarized by those who said it wub fortunate that thus far the winter had not been one of prolonged zero weather. Coxe Bros. & Co. and John Markle have announced to the trade, as independents, that henceforth the price of coal wll! be $10 a ton. Under the "C5 per Cent agreement" the coal was sold to the coal carrying railroads at $3.25 a ton. Grand- Chief Arthur Makes Agreement Jlrs. Samuel Rogers, of No. 128 Hyde Boots and Shoes.

It must be remembered, however, that nearly four millions of dollars are yet to be paid on the contract for the erection of a new capltol building; there Is always the possibility of Industrial disturbances necessitating the maintaining of the National Guard in the field at great expense; floods and fire destroy many bridges which, under the act of 1895, the state must rebuild. These and other contingencies which may call for the expenditure of many millions of dollars make It advisable that great care be taken In the matter of appropriations. Retreat of the Pretender Confirmed. Madrid!, Jan. 6.—Premier Silvela has presented to King Alfonso official dispatches confirming the retreat of the pretender to the Moroccan throne, thus allowing the sultan to reorganize the army and stamp out the Insurrection. It was through the Lehigh Valley railroad's abrogation of the 05 per cent agreement that the supply of coal was virtually placed in the hands of the independents, who can now manipulate the prices. That railroad was first attacked on account of the large number of independent operators along its lines. The Lehigh carried at least 40 per cent of the coal mined by independents. The suspension of the contract between the parties will be in effect until March 31. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western suspended the agreement without fixing a date for Its resumption, but can cancel the agreement with the Independents at will.

Probably no branch of the state government better illustrates the growth of business and unusual amount of work done than the state department. Originally It was Intended only as a depository of the records of the governor's office, the fees Imposed seldom meeting the expenses. In the last four years the fees alone have netted the state over $233,000, after deducting all expenses of the department. This Is more than twice as much as was realized in the .entire eight years previous. The bonus on capital stock paid through the secretary of the commonwealth was double that of a similar period four years ago, and four times that of eight years ago. These increases In the revenue of tho state justify the wisdom of recent legislation which enables corporations desiring to do business in this state to take out charters here rather than in other states, thus turning the bonus and fees Into our own state treasury. Glen Falls, N. Y„ Jan. 6.—Orders have been issued to the Twenty-third Infantry, stationed at Plattsburg, to leave on April 20 for San Francisco, where a transport will be boarded for the Philippines.
