ANTHRACITE COAL,

An Advance In P-ics Secretly Contem.
plated In Spite OF the Depression.
NEw YORK, August l2.-The anthracite
coal companies are casting about for a
means which will enable them TO pull
through the present period Of staguation, de-
maralization and oyerproduction withoutre-
ducing the price Of the commodity. 1t is
claimed that il the anthracite coal combina-
ton would accept the inevitable the poor OF
this city and country would pay a great
deal less for their fuel next winter than they
did last. That the coal miners are still
fighting the reduction policy is evidenced in
private advices received to-day from Phi!a'
delphia stating that an advance in prices,
TO take effect about September lst, is secret
ly contemplated.
There will also be curtailment of pro-
duc;ion in September if it can be agreed
upon. The belief in coal circles is that this
is the last kick Of the combination.

A Supposed Leper ina Chinese Laundry NJ
Chicago. ~
CHICAGO, August 1.-THE act is made
public to-day that a Chinaman, who is sup.
posed to be afflicted with leprosy, arrived in
Chicago week ago. coming direct from San
Francisco, he was met by q friend and
taken to Hong Lees laundry, at 94l Wash.
ington street. he wore strip Of cloth across
his shoulders, and during his passage along
the streets he was careful to keep the cloth
around his neck. Three days ago man
went into Hong Lees Laundry to get some
clothing. The strange Chinaman arose
from q couch under the counter. bis
scanty clothing revealed horrible sore on
the side Of his neck Through the thin
shirt his afflicted arms and back could
be seen. They were in the same con-
dition as his neck. The color of his skin
denoted deadness of the surface, and his
face and hands were swollen. The man
who had called for the clothing withdrew in
alarm, and hastened to find Mr.. Hartz,
medical friend, who has Just graduated from
the medical school at Louisville, Mr..
Hartz went to the laundry. Again the
afflicted ChinamRp arose iEQn TIE couch
sililler tne c6slEtef ready 70 wait upon the
callers.
"That is a case of leprosy," said Hartz,
as soon as he saw the Chinaman.
Mr.. Hartz claims to be familiar with the
appearance of lepers, having gained his
knowledge of the disease, he says while on
a visit to San Francisco, where he saw q
great many affected with tie disease. At
Hong Lee laundry, last night, two China,
men present claimed that the supposed
leper had gone away during the afternoon,
they did not know where,
Almost as Bad.
CHICAGO, August l2.-The department OF
health caused medical examination to be
msde to day of the Chinsman alleged to be
suffering from leprosy. The verdict of the
physicians was to the effect that the case
was not leprosy but malignant combina.
tion Of scrofula and syphilitic tuberculosis.
The fact that the disease was not apparent
in the mans hands and fingers aided the
doctors in arriving at the above diagnosis.

master General Stevenson, who made the

Why the Inspectors Were Dismissed.
WASHINGTON, August l2-The recent &C
ton of the Treasury Department in redue.
ing the force of the Special Inspectors OF

organized by Secretary Eolgsr. The NUM-
her of s,caa vesseh 70 be inspected = oaly
haH Of what It BasWhen the Inspectors were
appointed. This explanation is made at
the Treasury Department, so that the tact
that q number Of officers were dismissed
may be properly understood, and not con
sidered as rejecting in any way upon their
ability or integrity,
