everything is passing off smoothly.
Collector Smith has an extra messenger

that change is about to take place.
The representatives of the powers, some
of whom have been awaiting instructions
from their governments in regard to the
matter of putting additional guardboats
into the Bosphorus, now seem to be
unanimous in their insistence upon the
issuance of permits for the admission of
these boats by the Sultan. The Ambas-
sadors will hold a meeting today to
consider the situation as presented by
the Suatan's refusal to permit the pas
sage of the additional boats through the
Straits to decide upon concerted plan

An Order Issued by the P. & R.
C.&I. Co. to Start Opera
tiOnS Tomorrow.
COAL SALES AGENTS MEET,
THE READING COMPANY STILL AD-
HERES TO ITS DEMAND OF
Il PER CENT.
The Percentage Question Will be Finally
disposed Of at a Meeting of the
Sales Agents to be Held Next
Tuesday.

The Philadelphia & Reading Coal &
Iron Company this morning issued or
ders for all its collieriesto resume opera
tions tomorrow morning, Nothing is
known as to whether the galleries will
work on Friday and Ssturdaysibut it is
believed they will.
The order to resume work is ffsS line
with the company's determination last
week, when it suddenly ordered a resumps
tion. 1t was then stated that the Read
ing Company was ready for war and
would operate its collieries to make up a
quota it claimed. The collieries were
started up again with orders to work
until last night, by which time some
thing would be known about the inten-
tions of the coal sales agents.
In pursuance of that program the col
lieries shut down again last night, but
they will be started up again tomorrow
morning.
The coal sales agents held two sessions
in New York yesterday, one in the morn
ing and the other in the afternoon, but
finally adjourned until next Tuesday
without reaching any agreement. The
question of percentages was not touched
upon and the output for May was left
undecided.
The Reading Company still adheres to
its demand for 21 per cent. of the anthrs-
cite tonnage and says the demand is made
only after exhaustive inquiry into the
justice of its claim 1t is prepared to
support its demand by evidence, and the
matter of making this evidence public in
order that everybody may see its justice
has been discussed and may soon be
adopted. 1t is asserted by the friends of
Reading that the Coal and Iron Company
has been brought into the hirhest eff.
cheney. 1t is claimed, and the claim has
not been contradicted, that the company
can easily mine its 21 per cent. of 55,OOO,,
900 tons of coal per annum without further
developing its coal acreage, which is equal
to about 55 per cent. of that owned by all
the other companies com mbined.

A HAPPY REUNION
Followed by the Demon of Bad Luck
A Families Series Of Mis-
foptuues

The history Of the family of George Sandals,
Jr., who formerly lived near Barryville, is the
history of multiplied misfortunes. While
living on their farm in Nimishillen township
some nine years ago, discord came into the
family circle and the mother and son and
daughter formed new combination and went
to live ON little farm five miles south east of
Alliance. Seven years ago the mother was
stricken down with disease and since then
she has been entirely helpless and dependent.
The son and daughter struggled bravely to
free their home from the debt which hung
like cloud above them. Less than year
ago misfortune again visited the little home
and the son was attacked with sickness that
came near ending his life and left him nearly
helpless.
The arduous duties of caring for the family
now fell upon the daughter alone. The task
was one that must certainly have soon caused
one to give up the struggle but now the father,
hearing of the msfortunes Of his once loved
ones hastened to their relief.
Old scores were forgiven and he was well
coined once more into the home and the hearts
of his family. With the hopes Of new happi-
ness for all he set about to make all comfort.
able but again the fates visited the house
hold and few days ago Mr.. Sandals himself
fell and broke limb.
Of four now helpless and unless the friends
and neighbors render material assistance the
sad story will be still sadder.
