Wages May Go Down.
A coal war has been started. This eX-
plains the change of orders by the Philas
delphia & Reading Coal g. Ir'n Company
regarding the operation of it's collierie >
this week. During the first part of h
week the company intended living up to
the short schedule and, accordingly, the
mines suspended operations on Wednes-
day night, but late in the day the COM
pauy changed it's mind and orders were
issued to keep the mines in operation
These orders reached the railway head
quarters, but for some reason were not
sent out to the collieries and the result
was that, while the cars were ON hand,
the mines were not operated. They started
up again yesterday morning, however,
and it is said they will be operated until
next Tuesday night.
Nothing definite has been arranged for
any time after Tuesday. The coal sales
agents meet in New York on that day
and the operation of the collieries will de-
pend upon what they do.
| The present operation of the P. & K.
| Company's mines is in line with the
Readings demand for twenty.one per
cent 1t is now apparent that this de-
mand will be adhered to, and one coal
trade authority believes that the fact is
gradually gaining recognition in the coal
trade that either this proposition must
be peaceably allowed to that company,
or the coal roads are likely to become
embroiled in a war in which the solv, Mt
companies will suffer far more than the
insolvelt one.
William H. Lewis, superintendent of
the VIM. Penn Coal Company, predicts
that coal will be very cheap Other
officials in coal circles predict that the
coal war will not be Of any imme-
diate benefit to the coal region except
that more time will be worked, though at
lower wage rates The cut in the price
that is sure to follow is bound to reduce
the wages basis scale probably to the
lowest notch in years. On the other
hand, if this war results in a victory for
the Reading, it means better time at the
collieries In the future and, when the
wages basis goes up increased prosperity
in the coal region.

The Traction Cars.

The following, taken from the Mahanoy
City Daily Record, seems to be complete
answer to, those who are continually
finding fault with the condition of some
of the electric cars "That cars were
dirty, at times, Mr.. Ash would not deny,
but it was not filth or anything that
would impair the health or comfort of the
passengers. The cars were cleaned with
too much regularity for that. The dirt
was simply that tracked in by the miners
The cars are bound to become little
dirty during the few hours of theil
travel, but after that the broom was agair
put in use and the dirt removed. The
miners, he said, are good patrons of the
road and had to be cared for. Everything
possible was being done for the comfort
and safety of other passengers"

QUIETED THE TITLE.
JUDGE NELSON FILES AN IN
TEREsTING LAND DECISION.
January Session of the United
States District Court Be
gins Today.

Judge Nelson, OF the United States
court, yesterday rendered decision of
some interest in case involving the
title to tract of land taken under the
United States land laws in the northern
part of the state. The title OF the case
is Louis Hebert VS.. Z. E. Brown. j. Nj.
Watts and others. and it came here from
the Duluth land district. Following is
Judge Nelson's decision:
"On March 10. 1884. one LeveQue filed
a declaratory statement for the pre-.
emption of land in the Duluth land of
flee, and OH the 9th of April, 1885. he re
linquished his claim thereto to the Unit
ed States. On the same day he filed his
application to take up the same land
under homestead entry. On June 81,
1857, LeveQue made committed pay
ment for the land he had entered as a
homestead, and received patent from
the United States government on April
II, 1889. On Sept. 10, 1888, he sold this
land to the complainant, who, by his
bill of complaint, asks that his title be
quieted.
previously. on Dec. s. 1884, Leveque
had given a mortgage to Brown, which
was subsequently assigned to Watts
upon the land he had entered under
his pre- emption claim. The mortgage
was foreclosed by advertisement and
sheritf's certificate issued for the land.
1.-The court holds that the relinQuiSh-
ment Of the land pre-empted eXtin-
gulShed the mortgage, and that when
LeVeQue took up the same land under
homestead filing, he took it clear of all
encumbrance, hence the sheriff's GER
titicate cannot be set up against the
title of the complainant. Judgment is
granted as prayed for by complainant"

Fourth-lt provides for continuance in
force for two years only. A bankruptcy
law should be so constituted as to render
1t permanent.
Messrs. Stevens, Kirk, Hackett and
Howard, and Gen. Sanborn took part
In the discussion Of the report, the trend
of their arguments being that, although
a general bankruptcy law is undoubt-
eddy much needed at this time. yet the
Bailey bill presented too MANY oppor-
! tunities for fraud on the part of the in
solvent. The latter bill had therefore
been rejected at once by the executive
committee of the jobbers' union, while
the provisions of the TOrrey bill were
satisfactory TO every mercantile body.
| The committees report was then adopt
ed with the following amendment:
Resolved, That the chamber favors
the early passage by congress of bank
ruptcy bill embodying the general fea-
lures of the Torrey bankruptcy bill. ~
The same committee also reported
that it was inexpedient to join the Min
neapOllS board of trade in the formation
OF Northwestern board of trade, and
its recommendation was cOncurred in.
The chamber before adjournment
adopted the following resolution at the
suggestion Of Mr.. Hodgson:
Resolved, That the committee on
streets, roads and parks is hereby in
structed to make proper inquiry and to
report what streets in the business dis

The session will be comparatively short,
as far as the criminal business is con-
cerned. United States District Attor-

thought the criminal calendar would be
cleaned up in two weeks. The cases of
most interest are those Of Joseph Ramp,
the postotfice employe charged with
robbing the mails. and Edward Pannell,
who was Yesterday bound over on a
charge Of using Cancelled postage

that Kamp will plead guilty. The cases
