GIGANTIC COAL COMBINE.


British Columbia Producers Omit Fight
ing and Consolidate.
VICTORIA, b. c., Oct. 1.-The gigan-
tic coal combine which has been in
process of formation for some time past
between the Dunsmuir and their old
time rivals, the new Vancouver Coal
company OF Nanaimo, Is reported to
have been consummated., For a long
time both sides have felt that the fight
between them was simply a waste of
energy and money. so that when the
subject of a combine was preached, the
Dunsmuirs and their competitors fell in
with the idea by which the coal trade
of British Columbia could be brought
under control Of what win practically
be a huge monopoly, capable of freezing
ont all competitors on the coast. The
output Of the mines, at Wellington and
Nanaimo is to be limited, it is an
nounced, so that the price of fuel can
be raised. Coal now stands at 90 a ton
in Victoria, only so miles from the
mines, and any rise would be a great
hardship.

Conference.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE annual
conference of the archbishops Of the
United States began at the residence of
Archbishop Ryan during the morning.

Katzer of Milwaukee, Kenrick of st.
Louis, Riordan of San Francisco, Ryan
Of Philadelphia. Salpointe of Santa Fe,
IN. NJ, and Williams OF Boston. Arch
b shop Satolli, the papal legate of the
United States, presided. As the ut
most secrecy surrounds the conference,
it will probably be some time before
the doings of the church dignataries
are known to the world at large;
but, owing to the fact that Arch.
bishop Satolli himself will preside, it is
not likely that the present meeting will
see such stormy scenes Is those which
took place at that memorable gathering
at the residence Of Archbishop Corrigan
in New York. shortly after the advent
Of the papal legate in the fall Of 1892.

The masked men entered the door and
covered the conductor and detective with
their revolvers. The detective sprang for
his revolver. but before be could reach it,
one of the robbers shot him through the
breast.
THE conductor threw up his hands. and
the robbers who had done the shooting
went through his pockets, taking his watch
and a small amount OF money. After
ward he searched the detectives clothes
for valuabes, and left the train just be-
fore the brakemeu, who had heard the shot
and came running back. No trace could
