TIE communication OF Prof. 1. C.Whitc,
Of the West Virginia University, which
appears in another column, on the nat
raj gas question in relation to this region,
is worthy of the attention OF those who
have the project OF boring for gas in this
CITY under consideration. It isnot spec
nlatiye or theoretical man who speaks, but
an expert who has made the subject a
special study, and one OF the most thor.
oughly equipped biologists of the country
Prof. White has located some ofthe larg-
est wells in the Pennsylvania gas belt, and
he knows what he is talking about when
he says that gas can not be found in this
city or vicinity below 1900 feet.

COKE TRADE.
No Improvement ba. Brighter Hopes.
Changes In the Pool.


No Improvement bat Brighter Hopes.
Changes In the Pool.
I CoNNELlsviLLE, Jan. 1o.-The Keystone
Courier reviewing the coke trade says:
The coke trade cannot be said TO have Inn
proved any since our last report, but the
almost hopeless outlook has materially
changed for the better. During the month
OF December the shipments steadily de-
creased ami orders grew scarcer, until the
average daily shipments for the month
fell to 40 cars. January opens up with
an average daily output of 450 cars. In
the face Of this fact, shippers anticipate an
improvement. This anticipation Is no!
imaginary, but is based upon substantial
iacts. There is more active demand for
coke and many buyers are anxious to make
yearly contracts. Several furnaces are re-
ported about TO blow in again after q long
idleness, and these will do their part to-
ward incre lsing the demand. Then there
is the prospect, not definite to be sure, but
fairly prospective, that there will be agen-
eral i'm proyement in the iron trade in the
spripg, As against these encouraging
signs there is the bleak fact that coke is
being stocked on the yard at many OF the
works, and many stdings are full OF loaded
cars for which the syndicate is unable 70
give destination. Upon the whole, IT is
safe to predict material Improvement IN
trade in the near future. IL wont be q
boom by anymeans, but 1t willsb large
enough to be seen and big enough to be
felt. Atpresent the syndicate works are
only running four days IN the week, and
some OF the smaller works OF the coke as
ISOLATION have shut down ennreiyg II Is
expected that thus condition oil affairs, al
least, will be changed.

TuE ASsAssIN's CHARACTER.


Richard Short, the assassin, has been
recognized by several persons who have
offices in the building where Rossa's office
is situated, and it was learned this morn
ing that Short had otbeen an infrequent
visitor ut Rossa's Office within the last
week. He has been observed several
times to leave the building in Rossa's
company. He is known in a gin shop in
Chatham street, near Chambers street,
as a man who, of late, has been liberal
patron OF "Tom and jerry"
Before last Saturday he had not been
noticed, but since then his calls at the
gin shop have been frequent enough to
impress his features upon the mind OF the
barkeeper, SO that when he saw him led
past his place yesterday afternoon he re-
cognized him. 1t is also stated b% the
tenants in the building that recently a
number OF men have been calling
at Rossa's Office, and that within the
last week this number has been increased.
Both Rosa and Joyce refuse to giveany
information toreporters to-day. Entrance
to Rossa's office can be obtained only by
privileged characters, aud they are in.
clined to refrain from speaking OF the OBJ
ject OF their visit. One Of them said, us
he left tho building in company with a
friend: "Short will be taken care OF. He
did right to kill the traitor"
But with the exception OF few Of these
hot-headed extremists, Irishmen generally
regard the crime as cold .blooded and de-
liberate attempt to murder man who was
likely to cause certain individuals deal
OF oftronble. They condemn itheartily, and
claim that it should be made the means Of
roofing outthe colony ofdynamiters which
las brought lasting reproach upon the
Irish cause.
WAsulSdroS, Jan. lO.-Captain Phelan,
Of Kansas City, who was attacked in
O'Donoyan Rossa's office in New York
Yesterday, was Lieutenant Of the Capitol
p1lice here during tho Forty.sixth Con
gress. He held the place two or three
years, but when tho Kansas City District
became Republican, through splitamong
the Democrats, Phelan lost his position
and returned to Kansas City. Since he
left Washington, remors have from time
TO tino reached here connecting him with
dynamiters. II was at one time said that
he had gone to England on dynamite
expedition, and this is the trip u which
he referred in his interview published in
the Kansas City Journal.

nal in its commercial summary says
Special kilograms from leading business
centers throughout the United States
contain inmany instances evidences OF an
improved feeling in commercial circles.
There is little II any basis for this, so far
as learned, and it Is undoubtedly due to
the advance in the price ofwheat, which
now appears to have shown sufficient
strength to prevent reaction to the point
where the rush upward began. The start
ing OF iron works at several cities has also
stimulated better feeling.
The dry goods market at the larger dis
tributing centes is firmly held, and there
is some activity reported.
Tue general trade situation Is far from
satisfactory, although renewed purchases
in few lines suggest to those most inter-
ested the likelihood OF material inn
provepent in the spring demand.
