Jay c. Morse has resigned the presi-
dency of the Illinois Steel company and
has been succeeded by John w. Gates.

were imported into this country from
Great Britain, as compared with 1G,oS5
tons last year, and 3O,S36 tons in 1898.
Charles Merrick. of Avoca, has accepted
n position as assistant inside foreman at
the Evans Mining company's Beaver
Meadow colliery. He has already assumed
his duties.
The stock of coal on hand at tidewater
shipping points, Feb. 2s, 1895. was 63O,GjS
tons against 100 17G tons on Jan. 81, show
ing decrease of 69,5lS tons, or 80 per cent.
during the month.
The Primrose coliery, east of Delano,
owned by the Delano Land company. will
shortly resume operations, after having
been idle nearly IA year The colliery will
give employment to 400 men and boys.
The Bloomsbury Car Manufacturing
company has received an order for a
large number of flat cars for the Mexican
government. The order will keep the
shops busy for over u year. The contract
was secured over the heads OF several
English firms.
The committee of five which was ap-
pointed to determine the percentages OF
the anthracite coal tonnage to which the
different railroads are entitled, will, II Is
stated, have its report ready for presenta-
tion at the meeting of the presidents OF the
roads on Thursday.
Philadelphia Press: a record for rapid
rail rolling was made by the South works
of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM
pany. at Scranton, for the week ended
March .. The converting mill made G,0i2
tons of ingots In eleven turns. and the
South rail mill rolled 5,20l tons of finished
rails.
1t IL asserted that at last weeks meet
ing OF the presidents, President Sloan, OF
the Lackawanna, introduced u resolution
calling for an average advance In prices
OF coal of 25 cents per ton. None of those
present denied that such an advance was
advisable, but for some reason Mr.. Sloans
resolution was laid on the table and the
proposed advance deferred; the matter
will probably be brought up again al next
Thursdays meeting. A rumor was cur
rent that the Reading demanded n speci-
fled increase In its percentage of the coal
output, and a heavy money indemnity in
case a violation of agreement. This ru-
NOR was emphatically denied by officials
who attended the meeting, and they stated
further that the question of increased al
lotments to the companies entitled 10 II
formed no important part of the days
discussion. Interest generally was cen-
tered on the question as to how a basis
for re-alloting percentages could be
reached. 1t was held by the companies
whose working days in 1894 aggregated
only 1856 days. because of restricting their
output, that to take the figures for that
period as representative of their capacity
would be unjust, especially when It was
considered that some of the companies
which overproduced their allotments
worked a larger number of days. OF the
demand made by President Roberts and

Base Ball Gossip.

New York and Pittsburg figured in a
scrappy game yesterday, which the Goth
antics won after a hard fight in the ninth
inning, making three hits after Herman
went cut. The visitors tried to provoke
Umpire O'Day, who took it all good-na-
turedly until Manager Mack, who was sit
ting on the players bench in uniform, be-
gan to use vile language. O'Day promptly
fined Mack $100 and ordered him from the
field. Mack refused to go. and remained
on the bench until escorted from the
grounds by two policemen. O'Day was
loudly cheered for his action.
Frank De Hass Robson of the Cleveland
club saw the game at the Polo grounds
yesterday. and after he had seen O'Day
fine Mack 500. he said: "At the next meet
ing of the League 1 am going to introduce
resolution to the effect that all fines in
fifcted upon players this year shall be re-
mitted. and I'll bet $500 that the league
kicking Is to remove the player from the
game, and I believe that will be the system
in vogue next year."
