RAILWAY RUMBLINGs,
= SHORT OF COAL.

SHORT OF COAL.
ATCHIsoN, Kas., Dec. The west
division of the Missouri Pacific, ex-
tending from Atchison to Omaha, is
threatened with a coal famine. At
O'Clock last night there was not "a
hours supply on the division. Super
intendent Rathburn received word
today that 40 cars had been sent from
the mines in Missouri. About 40 cars
are used on the division every day.
The company is buying coal wherever
it can be found, but on account of the
inability of the mines to supply the
demand it may become necessary to
| Off several trains temporarily.

FREE PASS CONVENTION.
CHICAGO, Ills, Dec. IA meeting
OF the presidents and presidents
Oh the western roads was held to-day
in accordance with the'announcement
OF last week to promtilgate scheme
doing way with the indiscriminate is
suance of free passes. The vote at the
meeting established the fact that all
present are in favor Of the movement,
but attendance was not large enough
to admit Of any decisive action being
taken. Only fifteen roads were repre-
sented, although invitations had been
extended to more than twice that
number.
J. G. McMullin, vice president of
the Chicago and Alton, was called to
the chair. After general discussion
of the subject, the following resolu-
tions were offered and adopted:
Resolved, that the meeting adjourn
subject to call of the chair, and that a
committee of five be appointed to
further consider the matter, and if,
in their opinion, it is advisable to call
another meeting, that they do so, Civ
ing the date and place of meeting and
notify any such lines to be present as
they deem best.
The committee as chosen was COM
posed ofVice President Mcmillan ofthe
Alton, president Cable of the Rock
Island, President Fisher ofthe Illinois
Central and Vice President Springer
of the Atchison. The delay caused
by the small attendance is regarded
in some quarters as significant. 1t is
freely predicted tonight that the
movement will result in fiasco, Just
as il did last year, when certain roads
purposely delayed action until after
they had issued their annual passes to
suit themselves.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The officials
Of the Indian bureau have thus far re-

among Apache Indians in Arizona.
If the depredations reported H'ave
really been committed the Indian Of

they are not the work of the San Car

who escaped capture with Geronimo
three years age, and who have since
been in hiding In the mountains of

COTTON CIRCULAR,
Atwood Violet G. Co. on the Condition of
the Market.

the Market.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. l.-At-
wood Violet & Co., say:
Futures-If the bears were disap.
pointed yesterday, they had things
all their own way today, even to
those expecting lower Liverpool.
There was no indication of reduc-
tion Of spot quotations there, which
are down 1-16, and AGA on futures,
closing weak with sales 1000, We
regard the position of foreign spinners
as stronger one than for some time
past, those of Great Britain especial
ly, as they see their stock on hand
and afloat is 427, 600 American more
than last year with increasing sup
plies in this country, and therefore
they naturally think with such re-
sources TO draw upon both at
home and abroad, why should
they buy more than from hand to
mouth. This is evidently theirpolicy
and as it looks now that interior
stocks will be larger on Friday next
than they were last Friday, there is
nothing to alarm the consumer in the
interior. Sources of supply grow
larger, whereas they should grow
smaller at the visible towns as COM
pared with the present year, as port
receipts continue so much in excess of
the corresponding week of last year.
Today has been another wasting away
of premiums here, and we close to-
night nine points of the lowest touch
ed on the November decline. New
York wires us today that weakness on
near months there is owing to the
fact that about 10000 December
certificates are expiring to re-certifi-
cate which will cost II to IA
points per 100 bales, and that there
are about $4,000 January certificates
that will similarly expire, hence the
greater weakness there than here, as
compared with middling on these
For instance, middling in
New York is SIG, whereas December
is i.OU, IlluulluS llGIS 10 d'cu tbA DS-
cember 1872. January in New York is
26 points under middling, while here
January is below only.
Port receipts yesterday were $4,000
instead of 10000, the correction being
made today, against $4,000 last year
Receipts here tomorrow are estimated
at 10000, against $4,000 at all ports to-
morrow of last year. Weclose here II
points lower than last night on
spring months and 10 to II on the
other months except December. If
January contracts in New York are
26 points below middling as they are
today, why will not March contracts
sell 26 below middling in New York
on February l? What is the use of
buying contracts at premium that
seem likely to be at such discount
by the time the month becomes cur
rent, no matter what middling may
be worth on the first day of any
month. Does not this confirm what
we are saying continually about
premiums
Spots closed easy; sales 345O bales;
quotations unchanged.
f. O. b.-Sales 1850 bales; demand

BRAZILIAN ADNICES.

LONDON, Dec. 1-Advices from Bra
zil, regarding the situation in Rio
Grande Do Sui are of such an eX-
tremely conflicting character that it
is impossible to conceive the true sit
uation there. A dispatch was receiv-
ed here today from the Brazilian min
lister of foreign affairs stating that i'm
mediately upon the restoration of the
legal government Of state, after depos-
ing dictator Da Fonseca, the insurg-
ents laid down their arms. The for
eign minister's dispatch further says
that Senior Ferdinand Lobo who was
sent to the state of Rio Grande DO
Sol as representative of the gov
ernment has been satisfactorily
received by the people. The dispatch
does not in any way agree with the
statement telegraphed yesterday that
the people of Rio Grande Do Sui had
refused to obey the orders sent from
Rio Janeiro, instructing the authori-
ties to restore Governor CastilhOs to
office, that the national guard had
been mobilized, that the greatest eX-
citement prevailed, and that a serious
outcome was looked for. The Bra
lillian dispatches are evidently colored
by wishes of the senders and of course
with the censorship Of the cables re-
moved each side endeavors to impress
the outside world with its own view
of the situation.
