AN APOLOGY

The Editor and Manager OF the IR1'
BusE, believing it to be duty he owes
to himself and associates, des Tres to
apo,oe,ze to Gen Belknap for the in
suit put upon him on his arrival at Bis
marck, through the medium Of the TR1'
BuNE lob rooms. He can only say that
had be been at home no consideration
would have tempted him to lend type
and presses to the printing Of the mat
ter in question. 1t matters not what
the motives of those who prepared the
matter were, or what their view Of its
probable effect was, it was gratu'
jtous insult to Gen. Belknap and party,
for which all who were in any meas
nre connected with it ought to be heart
i]y ashamed. Gen. Belknap, one Of the
chief officers of the nation, was here
on duty, and during the few moments
ha was in Bismarck he should have been
treated as its guest; but instead he was
met at the boat with insult and again
on his arrival at the hotel-not by the
citizens of Bismarck it is true, but by
irresponsible parties who were only
able to accomplish their ends through
the medium of the TRIBUNE job rooms
hence the necessity for this apology.
1t is possible the poster, or pro-
gramme, as it was called, was intended
onlv as an advertisement for the "Hole
in the Wall;" and its production may
seem smart to those who are mere
lockers on, but to those who are par
ties. and the TRIBUNE became one
through printing it,the affair wears diff
ferent aspect; While Bismarck AZ
town may not suffer for the indignity put
upon the secretary. every citizen who
has any respect for himself must feel
that Gen. Belknap instead Of leaving Us
with pleasant memories Of hospitaii'
ties extended has cause to shake the
dust from his feet on leaving town
which greeted him only with insult.
The TRIBUNE deeply regrets the part
it's lob rooms had in the matter, and its
publishers will see that hereafter no
citizen, however humble, shall have
cause to complain of like treatment.

From the Coal and Iron Record we
CLEAN the following:
No special variation in coal to note
With regard to iron, Messrs. Biglow &
Johnston, in their annual report for
1874, say, in regard to the prospects
for 1873, the following:
"Will there be revival Of activity
in spring, II are we destined to drag
along in the same dull manner that
has characterized the year just closed
1t is certainly difficult as we'll as I'M

disposition of every one to whom the
query is addressed. The hopeful say,
yes the dependent say, no, The
most experienced have been batiIed,
and hesitate now to express an opin-
ion, but taking into consideration the
fact that stocks of all kinds of iron in
the hands Of consumers are light, and
that many of ourrailroadscan not much
longer postpone their purchases, We
can not much but think that brighter
days are not far distant, and that there
must be considerable revival OF activi-
~, even if it be not enough to advance
prices materially. Indeed any at
tempt in this direction would be dis
aster, and would be apt to check the
incipient demand, besides inviting a
renewal Of foreign competition 1t is

Tie New Central Company.

From Saward's Coal Trade CircuIcu
we take the following extract from the
annual report Of the New Central Coal
Company, dated New York, Jauary l,
1875:
1t appears that the net earnings for
the years 1872, 1878, and 1874,
amounted to rather more than 10 per
cent. on the par value of the entire
capital stock. In like manner we
find that the earnings of last year, if
divided, would have given the stock
holders 3 per cent; this dividend,
has been possible every year since the
company has been organized.
1t has, however, been the policy of
the Board Of Directors of the company
to strengthen the company, and toplace
it upon such a basis that when divi-
dends were once declared, they might
be continued regularly from year to
year. The Board, therefore, preferred
to increase the intrinsic value of the
stock by the investment Of the earn
ings in the payment of the debt and
the permanent Improvement Of the
property.
The payment ons the mortgage debt
have been made out Of the actual prof
It's Of the business, leaving only an UNI
matured balance of $135, 1920 to be
divided between the years 1875 and
1876. The Real Estate of the Compa-
ny is all owned in fee, and is one Of
the most valuable properties in the
Cumberland region.
'In the last six months of 1874, the
Company have spent over $4,000 in
opening and developing The "Koontz'
property. This is a solid body OF $50
acres Of the tourteen-foot vein. 1t is
located in the George $ Creek coal field,
and the coal now being mined from it
is the choicest coal of the semibitumi-
nous region. The improvements en-
tirely completed, are Of the most sub
stautial character, and are all paid
for"
The Companys mines now in com
plete working order, with all the nee
essarv improvements, houses, railroads
locomotive, machinery stock and plant,

Cheaper Coal for Baltimore.

A Fillmore dispatch Of the Oath
inst. say that at the regular monthly
meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Northern Central Railway Com
pany held in that city Saturday, Pres
ident Scott and Vice President Cas-
satt, in the presence of the officers Of
the Northern Central and Union Rail
roads, expressed their determination
to begin vigorous policy on the
Northern Central in the interest Of
Baltimore. Among other hopes held
out, Col Scott promises that bitumi-
nous coal shall be laid down at Balti-
more by the Northern Central Road at
less rates than it is now brought by
the Baltimore and Ohio Road. a
comparison of the routes by which
these two roads at present reach the
great bituninous coal-felds shows that
the Baltimore and Ohio has decided
advantage in distance, and this propo-
sition of Col. Scott to enter in active
competitor with that road for the coal
traffic, its most important railroad
scheme is on foot. 1t may be the in
tention of Col. Soft to lease the West
ern Maryland Road, which is compile
ted between this city and Williams
polt, a point on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, and by a transfer from
boat to car at that place reduce the
cost Of carriage.
