One of the evil effects of the coal strike
Is noted in New York dispatch pub
lished yesterday. The transatlantic
steamship companies have entered into
contracts with English and Nova
Scotian miners for the del livery of coal
at their New York docks sufficient to
garry them through the present strin-
gency. 1t is probable that after the
expiration of the present contracts they
will be further renewed, and thus an
American market for foreign coal es-
tablished. This will mean an immense
loss to American industry, for the
steamships consume millions of tons of
coal annually.

SENATOR BRICE repeats his prediction
that the tariff bill will have been passed
by the senate as early as the 18th of
June. Perhaps Mr.. Brice has means of
information not accessible to the general
public. At the present rate OF progress,
however, d result will not be reached by
year from the 18th of June. About a
dozen amendments have been acted
upon thus far, and notice has been
served OF more than 400 others. Each
Gay brings from a dozen to hundred
new amendments to the surface, aud at
least 1000 will have been suggested be
fore the close of the debate. If the SEN
ate thinks to act upon these within a
month it must expect to devise some
scheme of facilitating legislation as yet
unknown.

IN THE rHEATERs.

Until Oscar vii le achieved fame and
comparative fortune with LADY Win
dermere's Fam" the wits of the London
press were quite content to treat him
with good-natured federation. With his
advent with unquestioning success he
had to bear the shafts of envy that may
always be expected with success. Bur.
nand, the editor Of Punch. and an i'm
successful playwright, was among those
who did not quite enjoy Wilde's sudden
rise to opuiarity. He attended dinner
given by WiIde's manager, in honor of
the Tooth night of Lady Windermere's
Fam" but his ngratulatiOns were too
acid TO be quite pleasant and led to a
delightful retort from Wilde. The con-
versation had turned upon the epigrams
with which Wilde's play is so thickly
sprinkled. AFTER ALL" said Bernard.
there's nothing in them. but They
sound as if they meant great deal
Every week they get score Just as
good as yours down at the Office of
Punch and they go into the waste bas-
ket. All" drawled Wilde. "tllat ex-
plains why Punch is SO dull"
VI all the plays winch have fascinated
the theater going public during the past
decade few have attained the same
popularity as Monte Cristo" The
fact thai it has record of ten years and
that it has made Mr.. O'Neill rich man
IS the best proof Of this assertion. After
au absence of five years Mr.. O'Neill
will be seen at the Metropolitan in
Dumas great play on Sunday and
Tuesday evenings. while he will present
''Virginius'' for the first time in this
city on Monday evening. Mr.. O'NeilPs
experience in the support of Edwin
Forrest, Edwin Booth and Adelaide
Wilson stamped him many years ago as
worthy player of classical parts.
His impressive appearance, siverv
voice and intellectual reading of his
lines should assure the public that his
performance will be a superior one.
For once Frank BiXbY will not be in
charge Of the stage at the Grand, as he
has handed over the scenic direction of
his testimonial on Monday evening next
to his successor. George kingsbury, the
