THE COAL FAMINE.

TOI ONCI 81 ulOuCu d CuOu-
sand miners and more have been on
q strike When the strike began it
was predicted that a week would
end it., the miners submitting to
any terms offered by the operators.
But to-day there are 175 900 miners
out of work, a great many more than
were idle a month ago.
Coal has risen IN price, and in
many communities cannot be had at
any price. On the great railway
systems the question Of coal supply is
becoming a serious matter. Last
week the New York Central road
seized all the coal standing on it's
tracks between Albany and Buffalo.
The Baltimore and Ohio road has
been driven to the same extremity.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
road got out of coal and tried the
experiment of burning coal oil in its
engines, but II Of the oil-burning
engines exploded, and the expert
ment was abandoned.
On the Eastern Illinois road, in
the heart Of the coal region, the MI
ners have taken possession of the
chutes and engines are prevented
from coaling. All coal en- route has
been seized by the miners.
Several manufacturing establish
ments in the East have been COM
PEELED to shut down for lack of coal.
In a number Of cities the coal sup
ply is about exhausted, and as no
more is being mined, and what lit
tie surplus existed at the time the
strike began has been exhausted, a
real ''cOal famine is before US.
The mines IN every section are
shut down, the miners are idle.
A conference between miners and
coal operators was held at Cleveland
over a week ago, but the meeting
IA ignored by the operators, and it
amounted to nothing, except to fur
Their exasperate the miners.
The strikers have resorted to vio-
lence in Alabama, Ohio, and Illinois
and the end is not yet.
If the miners can keep from star
walton | ng enough, they are bound
to WIN the flint If they care to re-
sort to violence $4,000 of them could
do anything they wished.
The labor problem presented by
this strike is the most serious that
has arisen in this country.
1.-THE strike continues two weeks
longer it is estimated that at least
three hundred thousand men will be
out Of employment on account Of the
strike and lack of coal.

news has been received here from New
York of one of the most gigantic deals in
the history of American railroading Ii Is
nothing less than that the Cincinnati.
Hamilton aud Dayton Railroad company
has bought out the Cincinnati, New Or
leans aud Texas Pacific. This is the deal
that was consummated IN New York city.
This Is the greatest north aud south
combination ever made III the
United States aud links the
Missouri river, Lake Michigan, Lake
Huron. Lake Erie, the Kanawhs egion of
West Virginia on TIE north, with Meri-
dian, Shreveport. New Orleans, Jackson

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The agree
ment relative to seal fisheries has not yet
been perfected. although it is supposed to
be near that stage. 1t is understood that
the main point of difference arises from
the insistence of the British that warning
be served on the Canadian sealers who go
into the forbidden zone before the agree
ment is ratified, as preliminary TO seizure.
Secretary Gresham has taken the ground
that the vessels have already had sufficient
warnings, in the publication OF the dis
cussion of the arbitrators aud their de-
cision. This point, however, does not APP
pear to involve difference SO radical AS
to threaten an amicable understanding.
Secretary Gresham had AN interview
with the president today after Sill Julian
Pauncefote's visit, and the evidence OF the
expectation of the administration was af-
forded by the selection of vessels of the
patrol feet The vessels designated for
the service are the Mohican, Captain G. K.
Clark; the Yorktown, Captain Folger;
the Alert, Captain Morgan; the Bonulng.
ton, Capt ain C.. NJ. Thomas; the Ranger,
Captain Longnecker; the Adams, Captain
Brice; the Concord, Captain Goodrich; the
Petrol. Captain Emery; the Revenue Cut
tiers Bear Rush and Corwin, and the Fish
commission vessel, Albatross.
The patrol fleet will include twelve serv-
iceable vessels and with one exception, the
Rush, they will probably all be ready to
assume their places by the first of May and
follow the seal herds north from the Cali
fornia boundary line as soon as they appear,
making it warm for the poachers who may
seek to operate in the northern Pacific and
Boring sea this season.
While Captain Clark of the Mohican is
the senior officer of the fleet it has not yet
been decided which of the fleet will act as
flagship.
Admiral Walker started from Washing
ington this afternoon for San Francisco TO
sail on the steamer of April for Honolulu.
