Profit IL the Smallest Sizes of Coal

The Ese Of the smallest sizes of coal
for the purpose of generating steam
has been a veritable bonanza to the
owners OF coal mines. as the cost of
coal at the mines decreases in proper
ton to the size, being S2.75 for chest
nut, 10 cents for buckwheat and 10 for
barley. The transportation IS also
less.
Eckley B. Coke aecently stated that
within his recollection sizes below stove
coal were considered of little or no
value IHHddeLDhju Times.

TWO GREAT ORATORS.
Oates and Clarke Address an Audience of 5000 at Opelika-W ords of Wis
 dom Spoker,

OPEnKA, July 2S.-lSpecial Correspond ence. l-Between 5000 and 5000 people from all parts of Cham bers, Russell and Lee counties met at the barbecue at Salem Sat urday to hear the addresses by Hons. w.. c. Oates and R. H. Clarke. The crowd had many Kolb men and negroes among it's number, who listened with apparent eager ness to the words of counsel and wisdom from the able speakers.
 Both Messrs. Oates and Clarke surpassed their owu selves. They spoke with an in- tensity and fervor and loftiness of thought and speech seldom equaled and never sur passed in the annals of oratory in Ala bama.
 By their dispassonate utterances, their candid speech, thRir unansWerabie argu- ments and their superb logic, they carried conviction to the hearts of their listeners. With fidelity that knew no mistake they pictured in glowing terms the fair name Of our state, it's culture, name and credit, it's place among the sovereignty of mighty states; of how, with it's boundless re- sources, it had been led into the fair land Of prosperity by the hand of true democ- racy.
 Beautiful and brilliant were the tributes they paid to the democratic party to it's worth and work, and the progress the state had made under it's honest govern ment.
 They paid their respects to the genial Reuben-he who once handled cotton a friend of a senator from Massachu usetts. They showed the danger the state was in |, and the ills that would necessarily follow his election. They refuted and laid bare to the public gaze the hollowness and ma liciousuess of the charges against the dem ocratic party.
 No such speaking has been heard in Lee county in years, and we are working for a glorious victory over Kolb in August. The party is wide awake, vigorous and az. gressive.
 Hon. k. H. Clarke will address the peo- pie of Opelika at the court house tonight. large crowd will hear him.

SINKING OF THE ROW SLING MAY BRING
 ABOUT CoMPLICATIo oNS.
 LONDON, July 30.-The absence of of ticiaT news from Great Britain's represent dives in Pekin and Toko has caused much complaint in the house Of commons. The foreign office therefore telegraphed or iers this afternoon to the British consuls and ministers in China and Japan that they must send more comprehensive dispatch es and not to permit the Chinese and Japa- nese officials 10 delay the forwarding of the same.
 Sir H. Mccartney, secretary of the Chinese legation, made long call at the foreign office today. He still urges nego- tiatioDs for peace. The death of Captain Won Bannekin, who wentadoWn with the Row Shing, is deeply regretted here. He was celebrated artillery officer and engi- neer. He directed the construction of the fortress works at Port Arthur. Last year he came to Europe to arrange for the build ing of steam collieries for the Chinese gov. ernment.

CHINA ORDERS ARMS.

LONDON, July 30.-London merchants having dealings with the Chinese during the last fortnight have offered to sell to China several torpedo boats and number of fast English steamers which their own ere claim can readily be converted into cruisers
 They have offered China nearly 1000 guns of all sizes and styles and lot of 1000 Mannlicker rifles, with a large amount of cartridges When these offers were first made the Chinese government took no mo- tice, but today several of these firms have received conmun cations from China, say ing that rapid delivery will be the condition of the sale. The questions of China and Japanese securities and exchange do not show even fractional difference from their normal figures.
 The second officer of the Row Shing, sunk by q Japanese cruiser near Shopoint island, !, Corea, was the eldest son of an Essex clergyman, who lost his youngest son in the fire at the Exeter theater.

LATEST REPORT.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 30. Twenty acres of lumber piles, containing about 25, ,000, ,00C feet of lum Der, belonging to the Snevlin- Carpenter Lumber company, situated on the west bank of the river, within quar- ter of mile of the center of the city, were totally destroyed by fire this evening at a loss of fully 1900, ,000.
 In addition to this the Chicago, St. Paul {, Minneapolis and Omaha railroad round house, immediately adjoining the yards on the south, were burned to the ground with twenty-one freight cars, as well as the val uable Pintz gas plant.
 Carelessne ess on the part of the engineer and fireman Of an Omaha switch engine, who neglected to close the Hampers of their engine while passing the yards, is supposed to have been the cause of the fire. A spark from the engine is thought to have fallen among the piles of lumber, which dried by long weeks of drought, made excellent fuel for the flames.
 The Star elevator took fire in several places, but happily was practically unin- jured by the fire. Numerous fires wer c also started in different parts of the city but in every case they were extinguished in short order.
 The principal losers are as follows: Shev- lin Carpenter Lumber company, loss on lumber in yards, $500, ,000, fully ipsured; i; Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railroad, loss on round house, $7000; gas plant, $l5 ,ooo; twenty-one freight cars, SIP OO0

A NOVEL SCHEME.
Striking Miners Black Their Faces and Slip Into the Mines for Work
 Among the Negroes.

Mir. DeBardeleben was heard to say yes terday in talking about the strike situa- tfon:
 "l don't object to fair and open fight, but don't want them to take an under hold on me.''
 reporter of the AGE HERALD, hearing the remark, asked what was the nature of the "underhod" the strikers were taking.
 "Why,h said he, "some of the white men on a strike at Pratt have been black ing their faces and going into the mines along with the negroes and cutting coal. They form partnership with negroes on the pay roll and the two divide. Some of them slip in at night and do the cut under act, and next day all their partner has to do,is to knock it down. have been notic- ing that the output was running up and wondered what was doing it, when hap pened to find out this little scheme of the strikers. They go in and work and then come out and talk strike and pose as big as any of them"
 EYou don't object to the men working, do you?"
 work. But l want it open. If they are going to fight, let's fight it out above board. But, if they can be on strike and keep other men on strike and yet slip in and dig coal and keep on the pay roll, the fight never will end.'
 .'What are you going to do about it7'' asked the reporter.
 "If the committee don't stop it," said MT. DeBardeleben, with laugh, showing that he rather enjoyed having got onto the novel scheme, CT am going to require every man to wash his face just before ne goes in. Then I'll know who is white and who isn't. They can { come that on me. "
 This merely goes to show how anxious the bulk of the miners are to get back to work and declare the strike off. They are held up to the strike by the committee and very small minority. who are des- perately for Captain Kolb and propose to fight it out till after election. The women and children are suffering in the mean while, and the men resortng to all sorts of schemes to get work.
