THE BIG COAL COMBINE.
THE SOFT ARTICLE ADVANCED II
CHICAGO TO 81 A 70H.
OHIO COAL OPERATORS,
Who Have Nearly a Million Tons
in Store, Are Selling Out With
a Handsome Profit-The Cleye-
land Conference May Bring
About "A settlement Of the
Great Strike.

CHICAGO, Mays5.-Soft coal has ad-
vanced in this city from s2.75 to 81 per
ton. Assistant General Manager Wood.
of the Chicago & Alton railroad, said
today that the Ohio coal operators had
stored in the Lake Erie ports 665, 600
tons last winter and early this spring.
1t appears that as soon as these ports
had been well filled they cut their
miners wages to the lowest limit. This
action naturally brought on the strike
in Ohio, which was followed by the
general strike which was known to be
inevitable from the start. The Ohio
combination are now marketing their
supply at the advanced rate, and there
by netting handsome profit. The
situation here is serious. while the Ohio
people are selling out and coming mon
ey on their Lake Erie supply.
The soft coal famine Is seriously felt
in Chicago and some of the surrounding
towns as we'll. Coal that ten days
ago was practically a drug In
the market at S3.7s ton was
eagerly sought for at IS ton, and it is
claimed by some dealers that as high as
$3.50 was obtained for small quantities.
Some of the Chicago consumers attrib-
ute the famine to a scheme OF the Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania operators.
Assistant General Manager Wood, of
the Chicago q Alton road, is of this
belief.
Several other railway officials made
the same statements. One said that
over 5000. 600 bushels of Pittsbuag coal
lay In barges at the docks in
Carlo and that even greater
quantity was at the st. Louis
docks and also at Alton. "rhis coal is
now being offered to railways and man.
ufacturing concerns at famine prices"
said the official. 1t was learned on good
authority today that the Illinois
Central. the Rock Island and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroads were desperately pushed for
want of coal. From the offices of
various daelers it was learned that
towns in the interior OF this state, Iowa
and Michigan are seriously short of soft
coal. Among the towns mentioned are
Elgin. Kankakee, Bloomington, ,Streator,
Galesbufg and Decatur.

YANKroN, s. D.. May 5.-The return
to Yankton of Herbert Hall Winslow.
the dramatic author, who has been try
ing for more than two years to secure
divorce from his wife, has revived in
terest in the case here. More than a
year ago this cass was tried by jury,
and after trial occupying five days the
jury found that the facts submitted did
hot warrant decree. The wife of
Winslow, her mother aud child were
present and testified In their own be-
half. and the parents of Winslow were
present and testified on behalf of their
sou. A motion was made to set aside
the verdict of the jury, and Judge
Smith has so far withheld his decision.
1t is believed, however. that the judge
has decided to set aside the verdict and
give the case rehearing. The presence
Of Winslow gives color to this impress
sion. WinslOw is young man. prob
ably not over thirty. but has succeeded
in producing number of plays with
more or less merit, among which are
"Ihe Silent Partner" "A Barrel of
Money" birds of Feather" "a
Cracker jack" etc. The latter piece
was recently presented at the Haymar-
ket theater In Chicago, where it met
with Indifferent success. The WinsloWs

EX-PRESIDENF HARRISON ENJOYED
RARE LIQUORS AND CIGARS
AT THE STANFORD SCHOOL.

Brother Says He Will Take
Another Term.
SAN. FRANCISCO. Ca... May b. Ex-
him at the Stanford university. The
student body is full of woe. The pro-
fessors are disturbed. The servants are
under suspicion. All this was not caused
by the ex-presidents lectures on inter.
national and constitutional law, but by
the liquor which he drank and did not
drink while quartered at the college.
But it was not SO much the drinking
which Gen. Harrison did at Palo Alto
as that which he hoped to do which he
did not, which brought woe unto Encina
8 hall. Whenthe ex-presidcnt came to
the university he was loudly heralded
and warmly welcomed. and he was
assigned to quarters in Encina hall.
Encina hall is sort of student board.
ing house, with rules and regulations,
and
A GUARANTEE FUND
made up of an assessment of 81 levied
on each boarder. This guarantee tund
is for the purpose of providing for the
payment for any furniture broken by
the boarders. One of the strlctest rules
governing Encina hall is that under no
circumstances shall liquor or cigars be
taken into the building, and the students
were informed that they would be justi-
fed in throwing out of the window any
one breaking the rule. Mr.. Harrison
not being Pronibitionist, he broke the
rule, and, being large person, pOlitic-
ally considered. was not thrown out Of
the window. It is said that Mrs. STAN
ford herself sent him some rare wines
and choice liquors. He also provided
himself literally with other wines and
liquors, and also some juicy cigars, by
the private means of bargain and sale.
But somewhere in Encina nall there is
at least one person not respecter of
the liquor rights of
THE EX.PRESIDENT,
who was also professor of constitutional
law. Some one stole part of Gen.
Harrison's liquor ana some of his cigars.
Now an effort is being made to force the
students of Encina hall to pay for that
stolen tipple, which was valued at S34,
and therein lies all the trouble. That the
ex-President should not suffer in purse,
he was reimbursed. and the students of
Encina hall were taxed to make good
the amount: but the students did not
suffer, and they have learned ''how sub
lime a thing it is to suffer and be
strong.'
So they kicked. The money was to be
taken from the guarantee which they
had deposited to insure the repairs of
furniture. Whisky not being furniture.
unless in International law, they could
no see just the connection of their fund
and that liquor, brought in against the
protest. The college paper has taken
ND the fight, and peace Is far away.
