FUEL GAS.
A Discovery by Which 1t Can he Made at
Five Cents Per Thousand Feet.

Five Cents Per Thousand Feet.
PITTsBURa, Sept. II. - Ex-Governor
James A. Beaver, General II. G.. Hast
ings, and other eastern capitalists, have
formed company to manufacture a
new fuel gas, the invention of James R.
Rose, of Allegheny City. By the new
process it is claimed that gas can be
made for five cents per thousand feet,
and that iron can be puddled for 81 per
ton. AS natural gas is selling at fifteen
cents per thousand feet, the new fuel gas
will have a decided advantage. Andrew
Carnegie has secured the right for the
process, and is arranging to have it
placed in his various plants here.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE report Of
the earthquake recalls the fact that this
is the third time in less than forty years
that San Salvador has been destroyed by
earthquake shocks.
In April, 1854, not a single house was
left in the city fit for habitation and
over 800 lives were lost. The dust and
debris from the falling buildings filed
up all of the wells and drinking places.
Again in March, 1873, the city was
shaken to the ground. Over 5000, 900
worth of property was destroyed then
and upward of fifty lives were lost.
So it seems that destructive seismic
disturbances visit the country at inter
walls Of about nineteen years.

MADRID, Sept. 1.-THE government is
in possession of evidence going to show
a conspiracy for the overthrow of the
monarchy and the establishment Of a
republic. The authorities are very re-
ticent.
But the Beginning of the End.
There is no doubt that the recent Bar

sion of section of a mine that the rev.

time engaged in laying.
Hoped the Young King Would Die.
1t is said that a revolutionary move
ment has been delayed In the expecta-
ton that the young king might fall q
victim to some of the ills of childhood,
and thereby give favorable pretext and
opportunity for an outbreak.
Word Not Received.
The fiasco at Barcelona was owing to
the fact that some of the leaders there
had failed to receive instructions as to
the postponement of the intended insur-
rection, and thereby acted hastily and
without any general support.
When the movement comes Barcelona
Is expected to furnish multitude of re-
cruits for the Republican ranks.
Directed from Paris.
The conspiracy is said to be directed
from Paris, and to have branches in
London and Lisbon, the overthrow of
the Portuguese monarchy and the insti-
tuition Of an Iberian republic that will
take in the whole peninsula being in the
the program. The queen regent has, for
some time past, been taking energetic
steps to detect the arch conspirators,
and defeat their Vaccinations.
Can't BE Depended Upon.
The army is in better condition than
for many years, but there is no certainty
that its loyalty can be depended upon.
as the Republican propaganda has honey
combed both the army and navy. Not
withstanding official secrecy, there is
sufficient evidence that the gravest ap-
prehensions are felt, and that, while the
authorities are cropping in the dark, they
have well-formed idea that crisis of
the utmost gravity for the Spanish
monarchy is approaching.

LONDON, Sept 11.-A Berlin dispatch

the views Of those who anticipate war.
A meeting between the two sovereigns
had been arranged some time ago to
take place after the cZ IS visit to
Copenhagen. The cancellation of the
appointment by the car is regarded az
proof that the latter does not consider it
necessary any longer to retain the good

MAD MINERS
Again Likely to Cause Trouble
at BriceVille, Tenn.
They Threaten to Release Over a
Hundred ConviCts,
And Then Drive Them Over the
State Line Into kentucky.

The Season Has Just openod with Rush
and With Disturbance, the Operators
Gould Not Eli Their Orders-- Great
Uneasincss and the AIine-Owners Unde-
cided What Course TO Pursue The
Proposition Of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad Company Rejected by the
Legislature.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 11.-Reliable
information from Briceville and Coal
Creek shows an alarming condition of
affairs there. Whether it is "bluT' for
the legislatureor "dead earnest" remains
to be seen. The information Is to the
effect that the miners there have deter
mined on turning loose the 1876 convicts
in the mine Of the Knoxville Iron COM
pany. During the late Briceville trouble
these conviots were taken out of tho
stockade and sent to Knoxville the same
day that the convicts and troops were
captured at Brioeville. Since they were
returned and put to work matters have
been going along smoothly, but II seems
that the free miners have now deter
mined to play desperate game. The
coal mining season Is opening with
rush, and large operator says that with
no disturbance the mines could not fill
their orders. There Is now great un-
easiness, and operators do not know
what to do.

Great UnoRsiness,

Whether the miners will attack the
convicts or not remains to be seen, but
there Is great uneasiness in the entire
district, and q gentleman who is thor
oughly posted upon the situation says
the public need not be surprised if every
convict in the district is released at any
time. The convicts in the Oliver
Springs district will also be released.
The program this time is not TO guard
the convicts to Knoxville or any other
place and surrender them to the au-
thorities, but to turn them free In the
mountains and run them out Of the
state into Kentucky. Another alarm
ing report Is that the forty or fifty free
miners whom the Tennessee Coal Mine
company has been working during all
the trouble over the convicts have been
notified that they must leave the mine.
They are told that IL they continue to
work In the mine they viii be killed.

win Have a Bad Effect.


The situation is causing the operators
much uneasiness. A gentleman who
has large sums invested at Coal Creek
says that the disturbance has so alarmed
the operators that it will paralyze all
development in the region which was
beginning to develop 80 rapidly. He
says that not only will the capital in
vested there now lie idle, but that the
large sums coming from the east will
cease. He says the effect upon Knox
vile and east Tennessee, which depend
upon the mining industry will be ruin
GUS unless some settlement is reached at
once. he is Of the opinion that there is
plenty Of work for convicts and free
miners, and that the convicts cannot be
worked anywhere with so little inter-
ference to free labor. He says
that the present trouble arose
over what was largely sentiment,
as only about 100 men were effected
and they could have secured all the
work they wished. On the other hand,
all labor organizations here are more de-
termined than ever that no convicta
shall be worked In the mines.

W hat is Needed.

The acts of the railroad commission were
under discussion in a railway office yester-
day, when a general agent, who is very
popular with the shipping public and whose
opinions are entitled TO consideration, aside
from his official position, said: What
Texas needs is not so much reduction as
an adjustment of rates and the limiting of
the common points As it is now, every
little town in Texas makes fight for
common point rate, and when it is granted
other towns occupying the same relative
position demands the same privileges, and
the result is there are common points all
over Texas which are not needed and which
are not justified by the amount of either in
or out traffic originating there. The mer
chant at Weatherford can buy goods in st.
Louis and have them shipped to him at the
same rate as the Fort Worth merchant,
though he may only have carload where
the Fort Worth man will have twenty. The
result is that the business of Kansas
City, st. Louis and other large
wholesale cities is built up and the
Texas cities suffer. You can never build
big cities in Texas, or develop your manu-
featuring and wholesale business until the
common point is confined to such cities as
Denison, Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, San
Antonio and Galveston, and the wholesale
and manufacturing industries of those
places fostered, because of the fact that
Kansas City and ST. Louis in dealing with
the merchant in Weatherford, for instance,
would be compelled to have the local from
Fort Worth added to the through rate,
when the Fort Worth merchant could sell
at the same price as the Kansas City man,
.apd the country merchant would only pay
pfhe local from Fort Worth. By limiting
the common point rate to these cities you
give your Texas manufacturers and whole
sale men chance to build up business
without foreign competition, and until this
is done Texas can never become manufac-
turing state. l don't believe you can find
single big merchant in the state who will
Say that he wants reduction of rates, but
he does want an adjustment and limita-
ton of common points. To scale tariffs
down to mileage basis would be simply to
cut the throat of every city in Texas"

Harvest Excursion Rates.

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 13.-In spite of their
good resolutions. the lines in the Central
traffic association have abandoned their op-
position 10 the harvest excursions, and will
quote reduced rates from points in their
territory. A few days ago Chairman Don
aid sent out circular letter advising the
members that at least seven non-member-
ship lines in the territory of the traffic as
sociation had notified Western connecting
companies that they would sell these special
excursion tickets on the basis and condi-
lions adopted by the Western passenger
association. As it seemed inevitable that
the application of these fares would be
more or less general, he asked the men,
bers to send him their recommendations
as to any modification of the present
attitude of the association respecting
this matter The replies received by Mr..
Donald were such as to prompt him to send
out another circular letter to-day authoriz-
ing all lines in the Central traffic associ a.
ton to quote harvest excursion rates and
to meet the competition arising in connec-
ton with this special tariff observing
the precautionary measures prescribed by
the rule. AS the Western passenger asso-
citation will maintain two distinct bases for
constructing these fares, Chairman Donald
has called a meeting of rate clerks for Sat
urday, in order that uniform quotations
may be assured.

Fast-BOund Rates

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 13,-The continued
cuts in west-bound lake and rail rates from
New England points are causing no uneasi-
ness. Traffic from those points is SO light
Just now that it ois not worth
fighting over, and the strong lines
are not particularly disturbed by the
cut-throat practices of their weaker
neighbors to secure what freight is moving.
1t is the east-bound situation that is being
watched with keen interest. An order to
restore east-bound and lake rates goes into
effect next Monday, and the opinion seems
to be pretty general that it will be obeyed
by all lines. This opinion has been
strengthened byathe action of the st. Paul
lines yesterday in agreeing to
advance -four rates from ST. Paul and Min
neapolis to Eastern points, taking effect
August %. The new rates will DE 30c to
New York, 35c to Boston, which
will make basis of 10 cents
to Chicago and nc to Lake
poin.s on through shipments. 1t is believed
that all the lines are tired of doing business
at the Improbable rates and that the volume
of traffic will be so large from this time for
ward that there will be no excuse for cut
ting under the agreed tariff.
