We're lies After referring to the fact that
the newspaper representatives We're de-
barred from attending the banquets at
Hamburg and Holtenau and compelled to
take their reports of these affairs from
Herr Won Koeller's agents, the Norwaerts
adds; No paper had one word of pro-
test against this degradation of the Ger
man press. These functions were doubt
less more brilliant fetes than even the
imagination of the bysantes could ever
invent to get a smile out of their lord and
master The trick of the formation of

PRICE OF COKE.
An Advance Prevented by the Objec-
ton of MIR. Rniney.


tiOn OF MIR. Rnincy.
Connellsville, Pa. June 23--The condi-
tion Of the iron market warrants an ad-
vance in the price OF coke. which would
have been accomplished at the recent
meeting of the operators in New York
but for the opposition Of w. J. Rainey.
All the other producers were willing to
put the price up to Sl.5O per ton, but Mr..
Rainey claimed that he had not been
treated fairly and was able to sell all the
coke he could produce at a profitable
figure. This put a damper on the syndi-
cate scheme. If the price is advanced
now the II. c. Frick Co. will have to
make the move. and this they are reluc-
tant to do, because as soon as they put
furnace up TO $3.50 per ton, the wages
of the miners and coke workers will have
to be advanced accordingly. The Frick
Company would have no hesitancy in
making such move were It not that they
have no guarantee that other operators
would follow their example. There
would be no advantage in ad-
vancing coke to $3.50 and wages in
proportion, and then have the other pro-
prietors cut the rate down 20 or 80 cents.
