1t is Caused by the Great Wheat Blockade
Between There and Duluth.
MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Nov. 24.-Sud-
denly there has arisen the cry that
there is great shortage of.soft coal for
the running Of the big mills and factor
les around st. Anthony Falls. The
closing of the reservoir week ago at
the head of the Mississippi forced the
big four mills to resort to the use of
steam power and their consum ption of
soft coal has beer so great tibet a famine
results.
The trouble all arises from tho great
wheat blocszades en- the lines between
here and Duluth. Hundreds af.cars of
coal are side tracked at Duluth ard
Superior. the switch engines having
moro than they car do to keep wheat
cars moving. Efforts are being made
to keep the wheat trains from blockad-
ing.
One Minneapolis 8rm is / 500 cars be-
hind on it's order. III is learned that
Chicago is taking ala the Illinois coal,
and this, with the fact of the strike
among tho miners in Indiana, cxts the
local dealers OF from all supply except
via Duluth. Small dealers are totally
unable to get their orders filed. and u
rise OF twenty-five or lifty cents = ton
Is predi for tho weeG.

Thousands without Work.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Nov. 24.-This city
is having water famine, due to the
bursting of the conduit Saturday. The
Brooklyn bridge cable is stopped and
locomotives are being used to shove
people across the bridge. All factories,
elevators, and hotels using steam have
had their water turned off, and as q re-
suit $4,000 people have no work. 1t will
be at least tomorrow before the neces-
sary repairs can be made.
Before noon fire broke out ina three
story and baseme nt brown-stone house
at 237 Carroll street, Brooklyn. The
fireman had no water and began tearing
down tho houses on either side to pre-
vent the spread of the flames. Before
much work had been done, however, the
flames were subdued by fire-extin-
guishers.
The residents of Brooklyn breathed a
sigh of relief when it was announced by
Commissioner Adams to, night that tho
break in the conduit has been repaired,
and at $50 o'clock the water was turned
on and the water famine was at an end.
The cable on the big bridge was started
soon after, and trains were again pro-
PEELED by that means instead OF by tho
steam motors that had been in use

FoNsEcA's RESIGNATION
Likely to Put an End to the
Trouble in Brazil.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 24.-lSpe-
ciall-Senor Mendon ca, the BRAZILIAN
minister, to-day received cablegram.
dated yesterday, from the Brazilian
minister OF foreign affairs confirming
the press dispatch announcing the res.
lgnation of President Fonseca, of Rra.
zil' and the assumption of the office by
Vice. President Piexotto.
minister Mendonca has, therefore.
oeen OIL the opinion that the dissatis
faction with President Fonseca's policy
was only local in it's character and was
Gonnned to the province of Rio Grande
10 Sul' put when tho peaceful district
OF Rio dc Janeiro revolted it showe6
he said, that this dissatisfaction was
becoming national
Tho only course, therefore, left to the
president was to resign, and in doinr
this he acted very patriotically. The
minister received the news with pleas
ure, for he thinks it means tho concilia-
tion OF all the dissatisfied people and
complete restoration and harmony
throughout the country.
IL was especially gratifying to him to
Know that everything done had been ac-
compllshed without tho shedding of
blood.
The revolution in Rio Grande Do Sui,
the minister thinks, will abate as soon
as tho people hear of Fonseca's resigna-
ton. The now president, Mendonca
believes, will convene tho congress dis
solved by the late president.
