WASHINGTON, D. G., June 27.-In pur.
suancs Of the policy agreed upon at the
Democratic caucus last week, the present
week in the House Of Representatives will
be devoted to the consideration Of the ap.
preparation bills, and bills declaring the

Of the week, and before 1t is finally dis

KENTUCKY COAL FOR ENGLAND
Some months ago we gave the psrticu.
lars OF the organization OF an English
company with capital OF $500, 900
formed to develop the great camel coal
property Of Cloyerport, Ky. 1t is the in.
tention OF this company TO mine this coal
and ship to England for gas-makiug pur-
poses, and 500 car loads, II Is reported
are now on the way there. This coal is
said TO make better gas than any coal In
England, and EQUAL in every way to the
Australian cannal coel, lately used tor
that purpose. The Australian coal, II is
said, costs $2l per ton laid down in
Liverpool, and the Cloverport coal only
Sl5 per ton. The vein OF the Breckin-
ridge coal at Cloyerport is only thirteen
inches thick, but IL Is spread over terri
tory comprising II 900 acres. Exporting
coal to England is an industry that may
well cause some surprise. - Mauuiac-

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

Possibilities and Probabilities About Suc-
cessor to Mr.. Manning.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON April l6.-The greatest anxiety
exists in the Treasury Department to learn what
the Presidents intentions actually are in regard
to filing Secretary Mannings position. Nobody
expects that the Secretary will ever resume his
duties, and very naturally the question is, 'Will
his successor be a man who will carry out his
policy with regard to civil service or will he be
spoilsmana" There are two men in the depart
ment today, either of whom stands chance fol
promotion to this position. One of these is Az
sistant Secretary Fairchild. and the other AS
sistant Secretary Smith. Mr. Fairchild is gem
tleman of kindly face, has thorough knowledge
of financial affairs, and is a strict adherent to the
policy of the President and Secretary
Manning in regard to the Of
fees in the departments Mr. Fairchild
has even been accused of mugwumpism by the
followers of the late-lamented Vice president
whom he declined to accommodate with posi-
tions at tie expense of good clerks then em-
ployed. MIR. Smith, on the other hand, has no
sympathy whatever with civi-service humbug,
as he calls it. He is unqualifedly opposed to
the retention of Republicans no matter how
meritorious they may be or how valuable their
services. The mere fact that man is of the
opposite political party from himself is enough
to get Mr.. Smith down on him, and during the
few months which he has filled the important
position of Assistant Secretary he has demon
from surrounding himself with his own party
friends He has created number of vacancies
by the dismissal of clerks and has in every in
stance dismissed Republican rather than a
Democrat, even though the former might be ten
times more efficient than the man at the next
daek

THE GOULD ROADS.

Mr.. Hoxie Declines to Make the App0int-
ments Suggested by the st. Louis Meeting.
ST. LOUIS, April 10.-The following letter is
self-explanatory
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY,
ST. LOUIS. April 49, 1886.
"Dr. Thomas o'Reiy. Chairman. etc.. st. Louis:
"Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your letter of
the 10Th inst, inclosing copy Of preamble and
resolution adopted at the citizens meeting held
at the courthouse in this city on the 18th inst
and requesting me to appoint, or cause the
proper authority to appoint, committee of three
of the resident directors of the Southwestern
railroad system, in conformity with said resolu-
ton. and cause the names of the same to be i'm
mediately reported to Dr. Thomas OReily, pres
ident of said meeting"
Mr.. Hoxie then quotes the resolution adopted
by the meeting. which provides for the appoint.
ment of nine persons to represent the three in
terests involved-the railways, the citizens and
the unemployed railroad men, and proceeds as
follows
1.-THE premise upon which the proposition for
the appointment of such a committee rests is
the statement in the preamble to the resolution
that the trade and commerce of the city Of ST.
Louis, and the interstate commerce through St
Louis, to and from all the trade points of the
Missouri Pacific, and Of the st. Louis Iron
Mountain & Southern railways, has been
IOr over month, ana lS STILL ODStruct-
ed, with no immediate sign of said roads
complying with, or being able to comply with,
their duty to the public as common carriers
must respectfully call your attention, and
through you the attention of the citizens partici
pating in the meeting Of the 14th Instant of
which you were chairman, to the fact that the
railways constituting the Southwestern system
are now in full operation, and were. in fact, at
the time the resolution was presented by the
managers Of that meeting for the approval
of the citizens there present This fact
can be attested by any one desir-
ing to travel or forward freight, express
matter or mail over these railways So far.
then, as the public or this company are con-
cerned, the need of a resumption of traffic can
not be urged as reason for the appointment Of
the committee suggested. The action of such a
committee would necessarily relate entirely to
the methods by which the ex-empioyes might be
restored to theA places they have voluntarily
abandoned.
ssAfter the serious interruption which the
business of ST Louis has already suffered, and
at a time when, through the protection of the
civil authorities and through extraordinary ex-
ertions in procuring suitable labor, this company
has reopened its lines and fully essab-
lished its traffic. it Is to me a mat
ter OF sincere regret that sny portion
Of its citizens should send broadcast over
