Higher Prices Asked BY English Dealers -suf

ferings of the Poor.
LONDON, March 3-The Leicestershire
coal-mine owners to-day gave notice of a
further advance in the price of COAL The
latter advance makes the total rise shill-
ings per ton within one month. This in
crease falls heavily on the poor.
The rise is attributed to the already deter
mined intention OF AGO, 600 miners to cease
work in less than fortnight in their efforts
to prevent reduction in wages. Should
these intentions of the miners be carried
out and a strike inaugurated the coal branch
of the industries wilr be seriously affected,
and it is estimated that 1000, 900 men will
feel the effects.
The action of the miners in announcing
that they would go on a strike on the 18th
inst, and the rapid rise in the price of
coal following that announcement are lead
ing to a panic The cold weather, which
led to the consumption of larger quantity
OF coal than usual, continues to prevail, and
this fact caused the alarm To become greater
than would otherwise have been the case,
No one knows were the advancing prices
will stop, and consequently everybody is
anxious TO lay in enough coal now 10 tide
over a two weeks strike. The merchants de-
clare il the present demand Is continued the
stocks will last for only ten days. The
newspapers all publish articles in reference
to the situation, and urge the public not to
become panic-Stric&en, as prices cannot
make much further advance. owing to for
eign competition.

watson and simpson OF the Peoples
Party Create Sensations.
There was an animated scene In the
House this morning when Watson, the
leader OF the Peoples party, arose TO ques-
tion of privilege and denounced the corre-
spondent of the Atlanta Constitution for
accusing him OF improper motives ia voting
with the Republicans in the Craig-Stewart
election contest. The dispatch in question
stated that Watson voted so because he ex-
pected financial aid from the Republicans
in his next race for Congress. The corre-
spondent In question Is clerk TO Speaker
Crisp. Watson denounced the article in
unmeasured terms. He said it was false
"the Speaker OF the House knows IL TO be
false; the man who wrote it knows it to be
false, as does every member in the House" 4"
Ever since have been here" said Wat
son, this clerk OF the Speaker has thought
it his duty to deride me, ridicule and mis-
represent me. In the article which l have
sent to the Speakers desk the climax is
reached. The time when silence was a
prudent and good policy is past. The time
when any man. be he ever so patient. would
feel driven TO denial and denunciation, has
come. and, MIR. Speaker, l denounce that
insnuatiOn. cowardly as it is, as base and
infamous falsehood." Great Applause.l
The District Bill Passed.
Inc HditcT was tnen ur0pLe0. ana the
House went into the committee of the whole
on the District of Columbia bill. The un-
finished sections were considered without
amendment. the committee rose, reported
the bill TO the House, ant 1t was passed.
The House resumed the consideration of
the bill allowing railroad companies to give
special rates TO commercial travellers.
ONeill OF Pennsylvania offered an
amendment providing that nothing in the
bill be construed to prohibit any common
carrier from granting reduced rates of
trans portation TO passengers, or making re-
duced rates for freight.
Harries of Minnesota offered an amend
ment providing that any common carrier
may give reduced rates to the G. A. r.
travelling to or from annual encampments.
Ia speaking to the bill, Simpson of Kan
sas referred to the author of the interstate
commerce act. Senator Cuilom, as, IAN
inQuitous railroad attorney" He was
promptly called to order by Lind of Minne-
sofa.
Simpson expresses willingness to with
draw the word ubiquitous" but this
wouldn't satisfy Lind, and Simpson with

the information that the Chilean Congress
adjourned without taking any action in re-
gard to an appropriation for the represent ta-
tion OF that country at Chicago In 1898. No
lli-feelng was expressed, but the impover-
ished condition OF that country and lack of
funds are alleged. 1t is probable. however,
when Congress meets again and the action
OF the other South American countries be-
comes known some action will be taken. In
any event, many individuals have promised
exhibits.
The Bering Sea Conference.
The joint English and United States Com
mission on the Bering Sea fisheries held a
long session this afternoon and practically
concluded its deliberations. The members
are pledged to secrecy, and it is impossible
TO obtain any official information as to the
result Of their conferences. There Is good
reason. however, for the prevalent belief
that the Commissioners failed entirely in
their endeavors to reach a satisfactory
agreement as TO the best method OF conduct
ing the seal-fishing industry with view to
the preservation of the species.
The Senate has ratified the protocols and
treaty making tile United States party to
the convention OF Berne, relating to the pro-

precedent In the history Of this or any other
administration.

COkGRESSMlN SPRINGER.
His Condition Considered Very Critical
but Not Hopeless.

WASHINGTON. March 3.-The condition
Of CONGRESSMAN Springer Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, is so serious
to-day as to excite the gravest apprehen-
sion Of his friends. his family and most
intimate friends are evidently prepared for
the worst, as there is fear that the erysipelas
heretofore confined to his face has gone to
the brain. Physicians concede that this
being the case the result is almost ineyi-
tahly fatal. DR.. Vincent of Springfield, H.,
an old family physician Of Springer, has
been telegraphed for at the request of the
patient. aud with the approval of the at
tending physicians in this city. While Mr..
Springer's family have the greatest conf
deuce in the attending physicians they
hope the presence of DIR. Vincent, who is an
ola friend as well as skiIlful physieian,
may buoy up the patient and help him to
battle against the vIrnlence Of the disease.
AT midnight Congressman Springer's con-
diton was unchanged. That he is no
worse gives renewed hope TO his friends,
the nature of the malady being such that
every hour In which he succeeds in battling
away death means that he is gaining over
the disease. Learning from the bedside
watchers that the Associated Press repre-
sentative was in the house he requested
that he be admitted 10 the sick-rnOm and
am no worse tonight, and believe / am
going to get a fresh hold. If / can just
keep down this cough, which is Sitting me.
Pm all right"
Further conversation was stopped by the
recurrence of fit OF nervous coughing,
which convulsed the sick mans frame in
agony. The attendant physicians believe
that II no change for the worse takes piece
before tomorrow noon, there will be reason
| to hope for his recovery. Inability to sleep
nh els rf fhn fANfIs
to talk 10 any one within reach are regarded
| as but indications of the harassed and
| restless condition of his brain. and the
| physicians now find in this inability to take
| repoSe the greatest menace 10 his life. So
| long as the sick man converses with those
around he Is perfectly conscious and CO.
| herent in his speech. But as soon as con-
versation dies out. for he is enjOined to
| silence, he rapidly drifts into delirium, talk
Ing at random Of pending legislation in the
| House.

merce. ships and engine building and con-
struction facilities Ship-bIiIdng firms. he
states, in the interior. of the United States,

build ships which could be easily converted
into ships of war. Admiral Watson's at
tention was called to this by Canadian ship
builders, who state that by the law OF
1917 they are unable to provide for war.
He suggests, therefore, that the Admiralty
throw sop to the Canadians and build dock
yards along the lakes, giving them the same
advantages as Americans.
To this the Admiralty has replied, "PoohI
it is plenty of time to look into The matter
when the United States shows itself uu-
friendly"
At present there is no indication of un-
friendIness and the British Government il
not going to throw away money merely for
the purpose of aggravating the United
States Government and causing speedy
abrogation of the treaty.

How the Secretary of the Treasury Was I'm
pressed With the British Parliament
LONDON, March 3.-Minister Lincoln es-
corted Secretary of the Treasury Foster to
the House Of Commons to-day, where they
listened TO the debate. Mr.. Foster will 60
TO Brighton tomorrow, and start for Paris
Saturday. In speaking of his visit to the
Commons, Secretary Foster said this even
ing what struck him most was the hesitat-
ing and drawing way of speaking, which
was in strong contrast with our direct and
more earnest style. Gladstone approached
nearest our American idea of a good
speaker. Baliour and Labouchere also
please him. Mr.. Foster said he had been
questioned frequently in regard to the re-
port of the United States immigration
Commission. Referring to the comments on
the question OF sending eX-conylctS to
America, he said the questions in Parlia-
ment were based on misapprehension OF
the report. The whole commission was not
responsible for this. The story about the
Commissioners had its origin in Mr..
Schuite's report. Here mistake was made
in taking the statement that twenty-five
million acres of productive land were
lying Idle. Mr.. Foster said he did not
know where Mr.. Powderly got his estimate.
He would not say Powderly's report had a
partisan bias, but naturally he reports in
behalf of those he feels with. Congress, he
said, will be good judge of the statement
The Secretary said he was glad to hear that
the great shipping companies were ready to
help the United States Government in
its efforts to correct abuses. The
Secretary was asked if he could say
whether GoSchen showed any sigus OF agree
Ing 10 an International currency conference.
He said his coming here bad nothing to
do with that. The United States would
certainly assent to conference on the basis
OF the declaration made by the English dele.
gates at the Paris conference. When asked
II he hadn't reason to know that Goschen
expects the Washington Government to take
the initiative and that he would accept the
further than that the position of affairs
would not Justify any statement A bout
