COAL SCARCE AND HIGH.
Peculiar Conditions That May
Cause n Famine.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct 8.-If
the railroads do not restore the rates
on hard coal from Chicago to Kansas
City soon Kansas City will suffer
from a hard coal famine When the
rate was cut from 81 to 81 from Chi
oago to Kansas City the Eastern
coal companies, fearing a demorali-
zatien of prices, raised the price to
meet the railroad reduction. The
railroad companies then failed to
furnish cars. One agent, who went
to Chicago to get coal, came back in
disgust. The railroads would not
furnish cars for him and the dealers
insisted on the advanced price.

Low Rates That Have Been in OPP
GRAFTON for Months.
CHICAGO, Oct S-An the Western
roads put big open cut In west-bound
freight rates into effect today The
cut applies to all Colorado common
points. The rates to- these points now
are fifth-class, and classes A, B, and
D, so cents; class E, 40 cents. The old
tariff rates were: Fifth class, go
cents; class A, $1.07; class B, 50 cents;
class c, Ct cents; class D, 581a cents;
class E, 40 cents. '"The apparent re-
ductions," said a prominent traffic
manager, will not affect our revenues
in the slightest degree, for the very
good reason that these reductions were
made months ago. All that has been
done is to announce them openly
while before they were made secretly.
The next open cut will probably be in
class and commodity rates to the Mis-
souri, river. One is to be expected any
day."

MISSOURI TO MONTANA.
U. p. and B. & NJ. Come Down to
the ST. Paul Rate


CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Since February
last the ffrst-class passenger rates
from st. Paul to Montana common
points has been $35, and the second
class rate $50. From the Missouri river
to the same points the respective rates
were S. above these figures. Now the
Union Pacific has given notice that it
will equalize the rates and make those
from the Missouri river the same as
those from st. Paul. The Burlington
d Missouri at once gave notice that it
would do the same, and would put the
reduction into effect Oct 10. A meet
ing of all interested lines will be held
mere tomorrow to consider the matter.
1t is feared that the reduction in Mon
tana rates from the Missouri river NAV
bring about a reduction in Utah rates.
the understanding heretofore being
that rates from the Missouri river to
Utah common points should always
be $50 below those to Montana.

NAVY OF JAPAN.
The Fleet May Visit San Fran
cisco in the Near Future.

As soon as Japan's troubles in
Formosa shall have been settled,
Admiral Ito will be sent to San
Francisco with the Matsushima
and two or three other vessels of
his famous feet. The Matsushima
is a single.masted cruiser of about
the tonnage of the Olympia, and,
as Admiral Ito's flagship, went
through hard fighting at the Yalu
and off the roadstead of Wei-hai-
wei. One Of her probable consorts
is the Naniwa, a sister ship of
the Charleston, which began last
summers hostilities in the far
East by sinking the transport
Kow-Shing, with all on board.
None of the captured Chinese
vessels will be among the visiting
fleet.
Some Of the objects of the cruise
would be to show the sort of YES
sells that Japan has in her modern
navy and to give their men expert
ence in long voyages. Hitherto
the only Japanese warships that
have shown their flag in American
waters have been wooden craft, the
relics Of the old squadron
of Satsuma rebellion days.
Among these were the Kon-
go, which lay in that harbor
for several weeks with a corps of
cadets on board, and the Katsuragi,
which visited San Francisco and
San Diego in 1887. The nearest
point to the Coast which any repre-
sentatives of Japan's new navy
have reached has been Honolulu,
where the twin commerce-destroy-
ers, Naniwa and Takachiho, lay for
some time during the troubled era
which followed the overthrow of
the Hawaiian monarchy.
There is reason to believe that
one of the reasons in sending the
fleet to American waters is to en-
able higher officers to study the
question of building coast-defense
vessels of the type of the Monterey.
There is much curiosity in the
Japanese naval service to see this
formidable craft, which American
naval officers on the Asiatic station
have described as one that could
"play with the average battleship
of the British type, which the jap
anese Government has adopted in
the construction of two vessels that
are now on the stocks.

Unpleasant Outlook for Sailors.

SAN Francisco, July 2-The
Sailors Union discussed a subject
last night that does not augur well
for the immediate future Of its
members. A large number of
members are engaged in the Coast
coal trade, but judging from the
enormous amount of coal under
way for this port the domestic
trade will be very light for several
months. There are now fifty-three
ships coming here from Newcastle,
n. S. W., and about as many from
Europe, and Coast seamen declare
that the result of the heavy ship
ments will be that several Coast
vessels will be laid up. At the
present time sailors are mostly en-
ployed, but with the return of the
fishermen from the north in the
fall there will be large number
idle.
