"Hard coal will cost money before
the winter is over" said coal dealer
to the Gossiper. "The coal barons of
the east have so regulated the output
that it scarcely meets the demands of
consumption, and in this way they
are enabled to advance the price
whenever they feel like it. There is
an advance every winter on hard coal
and it will be no surprise to me if the
price reaches s12 or S13 this winter.
A combination exists among all the
mine owners of the east, and the
western consumers are consequently
compelled to pay the price asked for
the product"

Canada Lets Them Cross the Border, but
Wants $50 Head When They Go Back.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. Another seri.
GUS complication has arisen in regard to
the enforcement of the Chinese exclu-
sion acts The new trouble is explained
by a telegram received by Attorney
General Miller, Friday, from United
States Marshal Price, at Pembina, N. -.
1t was in regard to the case OF two
Cinnamon who had entered the country
by way Of Manitoba, and whose depor-
tation to that country had been ordered
by Commissioner Caruthors. Marshal
Price says h took the men to the bor-
der line and The customs officers at En-
erson, Man, refused to allow them in
except on payment Of head tax of $50
each. The marshal says he refused to
pay the money, and that the Cinnamon
could not. He thereupon brought them
back and wired the attorney general
that he would hold them in custody un-
til he received further instructions.
This new state of affairs, which prac-
tically prevents the government from
sending out C the country any Chinese
who enter from Canada without paying
the head tax required by the law of that
country, en- 1arrasses the authorities
very much. Hhe attorney general said
Friday afternoon that he had not an
swered the marshaps telegram for the
simple reason that he did not yet know
how to instruct him to proceed 1t is
believed by many that the only solution
of the trouble is by legislative enact

of the tug, the breeches buoy run to the
vessel along the howser, and the crew
and passengers landed on the tug.
The tug then took by turn the four
hawsers, and attaching an anchor to
each dropped them seawards. This pre-
vented the vessel from going farther
upon the bar, and when the tide arose
the vessel flowed and was saved with
but little damage.
So extraordinary was this work by
the life saving service that Customs
Collector Stewart took it on himself to
send the following letter to the treasury
department on the subject:
Coos BAY, Oregon, Oct. 9, 1891.
AS you will see by the inclosed wreck re-
port, the fine steel steamer Arago, in GO
ing out of this harbor, on the Sd inst, got
stranded on the South spit, just inside the
bar. She was in a very dangerous posi-
ton, the seas breaking over her, and the
swells SO heavy that nothing but good
lifeboat could live in such waters.
The life saving crew at this place, al
though new crew, did most heroic and
efficient servtce-preventing the loss of a
single life, and resulting in the saving of
the steamer. the first one ever saved here
in like danger.
We all agree that without the aid Of the
lief saving service the Arago would now
have to be reported Cost" while many of
the passengers and crew would now be
sleeping in "watery graves"
To witness such disaster, and such a
thorough rescue, will convince any one of
the wisdom of treating the life saving
service with liberality befitting q brave
and humane people

the Grand Jury Investigation.

Caps of Monroe county are in the midst
of great excitement, as the grand jury
is now in session, and is giving their
midnight outrages thorough investiga-

It will be remembered that few
months ago Luther Jones, living about
eight miles south of Bloomington, was
taken from his bed and brutally whipped,
and since that time he has been hanging
between life and death. Friday he was
before the grand jury, and as he lay on
a cot gave minute description Of the
whipping he received. He was in the
grand jury room for most of the day.
Whether he positively identified any Of
the midnight raiders is not known, but
it is known that a number of the lead
ing citizens in that section have been
given an opportunity to tell what. If
anything, they know of the matter, and
there is general feeling of uneasiness.
Jones was SO brutally whipped that
he cannot recover, and his death is only
a question of time.
The result of the investigation will
not be known for several days
