FREE COAL.

The state OF Washington il deeply inter
ested in the proposed abolition of the duty
on bituminous or soft coal. Il means
either radical reduction in wages to coal
miners or the abandonment of the coal
market to British Columbia for domestic
coal. The latter would be worse for the
coal miners, since IL would compel the
closing of many mines, whose domestic
market would be occupied by the product
OF the mines of British Columbia should
the pending tariff bill become law. There
we're last year 66.6o5 people in Pennsyl-
vania alone employed in bituminous coal
mining. They received in wages over $751;
ooo,0oo. With the IS cents a ton duty
taken off bituminous coal it must COM
pete with much cheaper coal from abroad.
Nova Scotia will take tho domestic mar
ket from Pennsylvania on the Atlantic
seaboard and British Columbia will occupy
the soft coal market on this coast.
Whether our coal market is given up to
foreigners or Is held by lowering wages, so
as to meet the lower prices. the result
means great disturbance 10 the WASH
ington coal industry and great loss to
our coal miners. West Virginia and Mary
land will suffer If the protective duty on
soft coal is abolished. and so will Alabama
The Wilson tariff bill, which aboishes
the protective duty on bituminous coal,
will inevitably compel the miners and
manufacturers of America to make a cut
in wages or surrender their coal market to
Nova Scotia and British Columbia.
All the people OF the mineral and indus
trial region of Birmingham. Ala, de-
nounee the Wilson tariff bill. They say
that IL has no just claim to being a party
measure and that their representatives in
congress are not bound to support 1t.
Both senators and seven of the nine con-
gressmen from Alabama have committed
themselves against the bill. or against the
free coal and iron clause of it, and have
promised to protect the people of their sec.
ton before congress when the proper time
comes.

BLOCKING PASSENGER TRAFFIC
Laying Of Front street sever May
Cause Great Inconvenience.

Cause Great 1nconveniencs.
A special meeting of the board of public
works will be held today at 2 o'clock to
consider the subject of constructing the
Front street sewer and its effect upon the
oper alton of the Front street cable cars.
The intention is TO lay the pipe, which
will be of very large size. along the mid
die of Front street. This will necessitate
opening up the street for several blocks at
time. and cause q cessation of ttaffio
along the entire street for several months.
The Inconvenience will be very great, but
the damage to the cable conduits will be
even greater. and their destruction by the
settling of the earth is feared.
Petitions signed by hundreds of resi-
dents of Queen Anne hill and the entire
territory along the line have been prepared
for submission 10 the council. The incon-
venience and damage can be almost en-
tireiy overcome by laying the sewer along
one side of the street. and this plan will
be urged.
The residence dissric, affected is thickiv
settled and every interest Is united in petit
tioning for that method of construction
which viii result in the least inconren-
fence 10 passengers. most of whom would

A tough looking individual with bloody
hands and bloody face. who gave his name
as w. Lauderville, called at the Offices of
Drs. Shannon d Shannon yesterday and
wanted some necessary repairs made to
h is head. A deep cash over his left eye
was sewsd up and the flesh over the

was torn away, was fixed up as good as the
circumstances would permit. The man
explained that he had had fight, and af-
ter short survey of his torn hands he
gave vent to joyful laugh and remarked:
"But you ought to see the other fellow. !"
Lauderville said that he didn't live any
place. unless il was at the Gem saloon.
The police know nothing of the fight.

Senator Hagan's Death Announced and Both
Houses Adjourn.

ALBANY. Fob. 20.-The announcement Of tho
death OF Senator Edward p Hagan brought
the session Of tho Legislature this evening to

when Judge William H. Kelly telephoned that
Senator HaGan was dead. Both Houses at
once adjourned. The feeling Of grief over his
death extended all over the Capitol.
Senator 1Iagans death breaks the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate. There were sew
enteen Democratic Senators. or barely enough
to pass a bill. Now there are only sixteen.
and no political bills can get through until Q
special election shall have been held and
successor to Senator HaGan selected. Tho
successor will be Tammany man. as tho dis
trict is strongly Democratic. Gov. Flower can
call a special election to I'LL the vacancy not
later than forty days nor earlier than twenty
days after the date Of his proclamation. As
no political legislation to which either party
objects can be passed at present. 1t is likely
that the proclamation will be speedily Issued.
When the news OF Senator Hagan's death
reached the Assembly. Mr.. Maltby OF st. Law
renee county. the Republican leader. moved
that the Assembly adjourn at once as mark
OF respect. The motion was unanimously
