The Chicago Herald, Post, Tribune and
Stats Zeitung have withdrawn from the
United Press and joined the Associated
Press. The detection of these four Chi

J. NJ. Crawford, United States consul
at St. Petersburg, in reply to the wheat
and flour circular of the state depart
ment, says: ''There is no doubt what
ever that the Russian people, as whole,

At a meeting of the managers of the
anthracite coal producing companies at
New York the price of stove and chestnut
coal was reduced to q ton, which is a
reduction of IS per cent. Broken coal

owing to the "cold snap which has pre-
