THE SAN FBANCZISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 11, 1897. MANY CITI The Scarcity of Coal Is Causing General Alarm. PANIC AT CHICAGO AND CLEVELAND. A Water Famine Inevitable Should the Pumps Be Stopped. STRIKERS ARE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY. They Clalm the Rallroads Wil Assist Thsm Should It Be Necessary. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 10.—Coal is get- ting scarce, at ast the impending scarcity is raising prices. Coal was sold from barges in the riv r to-day at 7 cents a bushel in large lots—just double the price usually charged. One of the larg- est operators in the district told your cor- spondent that he sold to-day 100 cars of coal at Cleveland, getting for 50 cars a ton, and for the other 50 cars $2 65 ton. The uscal price for a car of coal in lots at Cleveland is §1 50 a ton. President Ratchford of the miners’ or- ganization spent the day in the city con- ferring with the district officials. In the afternoon he talked with the district ex- or ecutive board, and after the meeting said: | A week from to-day the mines in West Virginia will te closed up as tight as in the Pitusburg district. We will put organizers to work amoug the nor-union miners of that State. We are going to stop the dicging of coal there, and if we cannot stop the dieging we shall stop the shipment. How? By alliance with the railroaa men. We have been in communi- cation with the trainmen, and I think will be found on our side if we need but we don’t want to call on them 1ntil we have exhansted all means of pre- nting coal from being dug. he district officers will make a deter- mined w York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com- piners.

Demand for Steam Coal Far in Excess (f the dupply. CLEVELAND, Oxmo, July 10. — Dan Hanna of the firm of Hanna & Co. de- clared this morning that the West Vir- ginia miners would never quit, and that coal could be secured from that source if the railroads were prepared to haul it, Colonel Myron T. Herrick, receiver, was not prepared to say this morning whether the Wheeling and Lake Erie would haul We t Virginia coal. He had received ad- vices from Dillonvale that his miners are still out. The events of the day were the frantic efforts of the little dealers to secure coar from ‘be big dealers to supply the retail consumers. ‘The price of steam coal is now §1 above what it was on Thursday. The demand is becom:ng greater every hour and the supply is consiantly becoming less. The feel'ng of alarm 1is beginning to spread among the wen who viewed the situation with disdain. T'he big operators and manufacturers are beginning to consider the strengih of the sirike and to-day there is consternation ing cosl dealers, marine men, manu- urers and workingmen in general. e railroads are continuing to confis- cate coal, though one manufacturer made so sirong & prolest that the Lake Shore : up one car this morning.

As more than half of the lake freighters are being compelled o go up light, it has increased the offerings of tonnage fordown cargoes materially and has weakened the freight market ali around. Nearly all the coal consigned to the head of the lake is being held up by the railroads. The fixing price for fuel is $1 80, but to- day ves-el men are paying $2, and on Monday they will be paying $2 25. Steam- ers are taking slack and in fact almost anything that will burn.

Operators lLai-ing Wajes in the Hope of Arerting a Strike. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., July 10— About the only change in the mining sit- uation at Whezliig was the granting of an advance by the Moundsville Coal Company and at the Glendale mines. This will prcbably be followed by like action at the other Marshail County mines. This is the belief of conservative miners, and there will therefore be no trounble in that region. No Baltimore and Obhio coal has been yet shipped to Ohio, but it is the general opinion that it will begin passing through Bellairein a day or two for shipment via the Chicago, Lake Erie and Western and the Wheeling and Lake Erie roads. This may causea friction between the men and the rail- roads, The announcement of President Ratch- ford that 3000 miners at Monongahels are out is not vorne out by reports here. At the mines the men are geiting steady work for the first time in many months and all seem well pleased. At seveial piaces the miiitia are ready to guard the miners. WOKKI\G FOEKE | SETTLEMENT. Labor Commissioners Return to Indian= apotis After a iour. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp, July 10.—Com- missioners McCormack and Schided re- turned from the coal-mining districts to-day and leave to- morrow for Pittsburg for a conference with the Commissioners of Illinois and Ohio, and Governor Hastings of Penn- sylvania, if he will cons:nt to act with them. They will secure a meeting if pos- sib.e of overators and strikers in the Pitts- Lurg district and thus reach a uasis of settiement of their grievances. That dis- trict fixes the prices of coal and the wage scale, and unless an agreement is reached there it is fruitless to atiempt a settle- ment. Lo e PANIC 4 1cAGoO. Pumping Stations Crippled and a Water Fawmine Imminent. CHICAGO, I1rr., July 10.—A coal famine contronts the city. Every pumping sta- tion and all public institutions are threat- ened with shortages. This discovery caused a panic hmong city officials to-day. There is only two days’ supply on hand. A gr ater calamiiy than a fuel shortage coulu not overtake th2 city at this season. With the pre-ent equipment of the pump- ing stations they would be compeiled to shut down at once, and tne water supply would be cut off. CHINESE ViSIT SECRETARY GAGE. Ask Permission for the Entry of Mongo- lians for the Nex. Omaha Ex- position, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10.—‘1‘hreei Chicago Chinamen have been in Washing- ton to see Secretary of the Treasury Gage to get permission for the entry of 400 of their brethren for the exposition next year. They visited him at his residence last night and smoked cigarettes on his front porch. Secretary Gage said to THE CavrL correspondent to-day : “I knew them all very well in Chicago. They are merchants and dealers, and among the most intelligent of their race. They say they are very anxious to obtain permission for 400 of their countrymen to to be at the exposition for three months next year. I told them 1 would be glad to help them in auy legitimate way; that probably their wish would be accom- plished, but that we could only be friends as long as they kept strictly within the law in the contract: thav when they vio- lated it we would thenceforth be enemies. “The Chinese have a wonderfully strong desire to come to this country, and chances of this kind are sometimes made n e of to get them here permanently. You remember that the Chinese colony at the Nasnvile Exposition slipped away one night and left the grounds and ob- tained their freedom. If the-e 400 Celes- tials reach Omansa the temptation will be very strong for them, too, but I do not bei‘eve that they will get away from the exposition people. “The Chinese use all kinds of dare- devil devices to obtain admission to this country, risking their lives ana liberty, ~eemingly with no care for the conse- | quences. A case came to my notice a few days ago, when some Chinese from Brit- ish Columbia secreted themselves in the hold of a vessel and had severa! tons of coal placed over them. They were discov- ered, however. “I asked Sam Siing, one of the China- men, yesterday, why the Chinese are so anxious to come to this country. ‘Amer- ica good country,’ he said. ‘Make money.’ _— - — WILL WORK GON THE SABBATH. Extraordinary Indus ry of the Tariff Bui Conferees—Signs of a Battle on the Sugar Schedule. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 10. — A meeting of the Senate and House con- ferees on the tariff bill has been called for to-morrow, and all through the Sabbath day they will be hard at work in the rooms of tieSerate Committee of Finance trying to reach an agreement in the hope that a report may be made tothe two houses by Monday or Tuesday. The efforts of representatives of busi- ness houses to influence the work of the conference commitiee 18 persistent and de- termined, but so far the members have kept themselves in absolute seclusion. To such an extent have they denied them- selves to visitors that their colleagues bave been compelled to communicate their desires in writing. So far as can be learned from the state- ments of tne conierees themselves there is Yyetno sign of an agreemert upon any im- vortant amendment in dispute. The House conferees still claim in their de- fense that their own bill is indorsed by the prevailing sentiment of both honses, and state that they will remain faithful to their bill to the end. The Senate con- fereex, under the leadership of Aldrich, | #re cquaily determined, and ceclare their purpose to insist upon the adaption of the Seunate amendments, especial.y those iterus which are depended upon to pro- duce the necessary revenue.

NEW YORK, XN. Y., July 10.—Jacob Raub, & book agent, living on Graham avenue, Brooklyn, committed suicide to- day.

CLAIMS TREATY RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED. Has No Intention of With- drawing From Her Origi- nal Position. ANSWER FOR EACH AMERICAN CONTENTION. Says Annexation Means a Repu- diatlon of Japanese Claims Against Hawali. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10.—Jap- an’s answer 1o Sherman’s note explaining why the United Siate< could not accept the protest of the Tokio Government against Hawaiian annexation was deliv- ered to the State Department by a mes- senger this afternoon. The Japanese authorities display no in- tention to withdraw from the position they originally assumed. They are firm in insisting that the treaty in its present snape amounts to a practi- cal repudiation of the Japanese claims against Hawaii, and is inconsistent with the treaty rights guaranteed by the United States. Tais note is very long, and dis- cusses each point made by Sherman. It was sent aiter full communication with the Japanese Home Government. It doubtless will be tramsmitted to the Senate Commiitee on Foreign Relations with the other correspondence. At the Japanese legation here it is said that the Japanese newspapers whose com- ment was quoted in the dispaiches from San Francisco yesterday, and all of which spoke eitber in a contemptuous tone of the United States or abounded in criticism of the position of the Japanese Govern- ment toward Hawaii, belong to the opp> sition press in Japan, and that the se ment they express must not be tak: S the sentiments of the Japanese Gavern- | ment. No quotation from tne official or- gans were given. bt (Ao ot IN § ATILE YARDa. Work on the New 1orpedo-Boat Howan Is Being Hurried. SEATTLE, 'WasH.,, July 10.—Apropos of the strained diplomatic relations be- tween the two countries and the belliger- | ent autitude of Japan toward the United States in consequence of the propo ed annexation of the Hawaiian Islands it is romewhat significant that work on the | Government torpedo-boat No. 8, which is | being built in this city by the Morans, is being pushed with all possible speed. It may be merely a coincideat. but the un- | usual activity at this time, when so much in the way of war talk is heard and rend in the public press, is creating much local comment, coming as it does upon the heels of the sudden departure of the battle-ship Oregon, which lefi here yester- day morning, supposedly ior Honolu u, via San Francisco. “We are working every man who can be employed to advantage on the torpedo- boa:,” Rovert Moran, head of the ship- buiiding firm, replied to-day when g ues- tioned regarding the progiess of the work uyon the death-dealing craft which was tecently designated or christened by the becretary of the Navy as ‘““Rowan.”” *‘By that do you mean that the Govern- ment, in view of possible complications with Japan, has ordered you to hasten the completion of the Rowan?” “Idid not say so0,” Mr. Moran replied: ‘‘and, anyway,” he continued, *‘our in- struciions fron the Secretary of the Navy arenot to divulee anything ‘pertaining 1o the correspondence passing bstween us. The Rowan is well under course ot con- struction and it is the present intention Lo iaunch ber early in August.” Discussing her capabilities Mr. Moran said: ‘*We are required to make her a sea-going vessel, and she can do very ef- fective tervice at Honolulu should occa- sion arise. She would, of course, on ac- count of the coal supp'y, uaveto make the trip as a members of a naval fleei, but as to seaworthiness waves may roll all over her and not affect her in the least.’ gt AND J PAN LEAGUED, ACTIVITY SPAIN Friends of the Hawaiian Treaty Beltove Thero Is an lliance. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 10 —The Herazld’s Washington dispaich says: Yriends of the Hawaiian treaty believe Spain and Japan are forming a secret coalition to embarrass the United States, The authorities are seriously considering the advisability of dispatching another warship to Honolulu. Assis'ant Secretary of State Day and Secretary Long Jiscussed this <ubject to- day. Th.y also discussed the question of <ending new instructions to Admiral Beardsiee as to the course he shouid pur- sue in the event of aggressive action by Japan. It is impossible to learn the result of the conference, but it is understood the next mail steamer from San Francisco will carrv instructions for the guidance of Beardslee. It is also probable that the battle-ship Oregon, which is expected at 8an Fran- ciseco in a few days, will be orderea to Hawaii. HIRED 10 AM>SANSINATE, Murderous Awsauit on a Wealthy New Jerney Widow. BRIDGETON, N. J., July 10.—Joseph Morrison attempted to kill Mrs. Abbie Myers, a wealthy widow living at Turkey Point, vesterday alternoon. He struck Mrs. Myers on the head with a stick and then fired a shotgun at her. The woman managed to strike the barrel of the gun with her arm before it went off and the charge went over her head. Mrs. Myers insists that Morrison was hired to assassi- nate her by her enemies, who want to get her fortune. Morrison has confessed that he was induced to empt the murder by relatives of the widow, with whom she has been quarreling for a long time. LBy gt Harrivon Uff to the Adirondacks.
