Oceanus and Venus are bound to this port
with coal for the Pomroy Coal Company.
A war Of rates from the coal ports to
the Eastern ports Is evidently near at
hand, as many of the larger vessels have
tied up rather than carry coal for what is
thought TO be fair rate. Some time ago
the masters OF the Eastern
coasting vessels met and established
rates with the understanding
that none In the association was i'm any
manner "cut" under within few days.
Some OF the owners OF the larger vessels
have been convinced that the rates
have been lowered by some one, and they
intend to go into the race, and it would
not be surprising to see coal brought from
Newport News to this port as low as 25c.
per ton.

ANOTHER GOOD PLAN.
Ovcrsccr of Poor Cummings Getting
Much Assistance I'm Shape of Food.


Much Assistance In shape of Food.
Alive to the necessities OF the deserving
poor, Overseer Cummings has hit upon
another plan for procuring food for those
In want and privation which is highly
commendable and will accomplish ex-
cellent results. He has established
team route service which
includes the hotels, restaurants
and boarding houses, the proprietors of
which are invited to contribute sup-
plies such rs have been left from the
kitchen and tables or have not been
utilized In the serving OF the patrons.
1t is his plan to call at these places every
other day about 1 O'Clock and an such
other times as he may receive notification
at the Charity building. The plan has
been In quiet operation about week, and
In that time he has fed upwards of 100
families from other supplies which have
been OF wholesome and satisfactory
character. He has not been able to
arrange his route systematically as
yet for the reason that he has not been
able TO come In contact with all of the
established places. Jt is therefore
incumbent upon the proprietors
to notify him and in so doing,
cooperate i'm movement whereby they
may become the almoners of wisely direc-
ted charity and share in the blessings
which such benevolent action will en-
sure. There are hundreds OF restaurants
and boarding houses i'm the city i'm which
much valuable waste material that can
thus be utilized, and there is no doubt
that the simple announcement OF Mr..
Cummings scheme will meet with prompt
and generous recognition.

Repeal of Election Bill.
Bv the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Lodge
(of Mass.) delivered In the Senate
federal elections bill. In opening,
Mr.. Lodge said 1t would be waste OF time
to argue concerning the constitution
ality of the National election laws
II ever there could have been doubt on
this subject, Supreme Court decisions had
settled the question for all time.
After reviewing the decisions OF the
Supreme Court relative to this mat
ter the senator took up the question of
election frauds and reviewed in detail re-
cent instances OF corruptness in New
York City.
The senator then said: The passage of
the laws which 1t is not proposed to re-
peal end appointment OF supervisors in
accordance with their provisions, put a
step In large measure to these frauds, and
brought to and end the work OF eminent
Democrat, the late VIM. M. Tweed. But
although he was driven from the field of
his political activity and died in obscurity,
his throne has not been left vacant, nor
his sword unswayed.
He alluded to McKane's action in
Gravesend, where out OF 8,418 population
he retured 6,218 votes.
Senator Lodge made an eloquent plea
against the repeal OF the eill citing case
after case which showed the necessity OF
such law.

CORPORAL RICHARDS TALKS.

he ACKNOWLEDGES His Mistake and
Manfully Takes His Medicine.
The interest of local military circles is
now divided between tho Hackett court
martial and the Richards case. While
Governor Brown has approved the
sentence that has been passed against
the young corporal who has been
found guilty of having aided the
Brazilian army by obtaining recruits in
this city 1t has not yet been imposed and
NEWS reporter called to see him this
morning to ascertain how he enjoyed the
prospect OF being reduced to the rank.
"How do you like the sentence?n was
asked.
"Oh, I'm not complaining" was the re-
ply II have not gone into decline yet,
and don't anticipate much trouble"
The young cavalryman did not seem at
all disturbed by the sentence. He said
that he had no idea that his action would
cause any trouble for him, but when he
found what he had done he was not sur
prised at the verdict.
Although he had received no official noti-
fication OF the sentence he had no doubt
that 1t would be carried out at an early
date. IL would be done at the armory
before his company, but he did not know
whether all the formalities would be car
ried out or not.
According to the usual custom, how
ever, Richards will probably be callel to
the front, the public reprimand Will be
read and his stripes will be cut from
his sleeves. AS his term of service
expires within few months he
will remain I'm the company until that
time, after which he may resign, because,
as he says, 1t would not be pleasant for
him to go into camp next summer as a
private after having acted as non-com-
missioned officer.

BY The Associated Press.
BRIDaEPoRr, Jan. 24.-Preparations
were made this morning to again start up
the Traction. Company's liues under ad-
vice of Governor Morris. County
Sheriff Clarkson took entire charge Of
the Official preservation of the peace and
protection OF the Traction Company's
property and employees. Thirty
special Deputy Sheriffs were sworn
In and the regular force of 20
regular deputies was called into service.
In addition to these the entire regular
police force of SO men was detailed as
well a. about rs special policemen.
Militia in Readiness.
The militia will not be called on except
In case Of actual necessity, but they are In
readiness TO respond quickly to
. summons. Companies from Nor
walk and Stamford are also ready
to be called here should they
be needed. As many OF those who par
ticipated in Sundays disturbances are
during the day employed in the factory,
no serious outbreak Is anticipated before
tonight.
Tonight is Feared.
The principal fear Is that under the
eover OF darkness, lawless sympsthizers
with tho strikers may resort TO deeds of
violence. Despite the boycott issued by
the labor unions and the
appeal made by the strikers
TO the public the Traction company claim
TO have secured enough Bridgeport men to
run all their cars. Mayor Bostwick and
the police commissioners decided this
morning to start the first car at 1:30
o'clock this afternoon.

The Past Week Brought No Appreciabis

NEW YORK. July T.-R. q. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade. which issues to-
morrow. will say: The heavy outso of
Of tho price OF wheat TO the lowest point on
record. and the increasing uncertainty
about the tariff, have entirely overshad.
owed other industries. Business, delayed
for months by the two great strikes,
now crowds the railways and swells the
returns and gives tho impression Of re.
vival In business.
But it Is not yet clear how far there Is
an increase in new traffic distinguished
from that which has been merely block
aided or deferred. In some branches there
has been more activity but in others
less, because events early this week lead
many to infer that no change of tariff
would be made. The internal revenue re-
celpts on whiskey suddenly dropped more
than half, and sales Of wool greatly in
creased. But the uncertainty is not re-
moved and much Of tho business done
seems to be in the nature of Insurance
against possibilities. In woolcn goods the
famine which tho clo,hicrs prepared for
Themselves hy deferr,ns orders Is such
that imperative necessities now keep
most of the mills at work. and the pnr-
chases OF wool for immediate use arc
large.
Bui there is no change FOR the bcttCr, as
respects orders running into 'h" future.
