! he would see that the people had relief
IN some way without delav. He Dotl6-
ed the coal dealers that they must come
down on their prices to reasonable fig

the business. AS a result of his con
ference with the coal dealers they
agreed to charge but one dollar per ton
more for coal than it cost to lay itlown

arrangement Mr.. Hughitt required the
dealers to file annually with him a copy

coal that he might know what the coal

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July %, 1897.

1t was case OF mistaken Judg-
lnef1t on the part OF those senators
Who started out to hll1buster
against 4 vote on the conference
report on the tarlff .Dlll, as they
discovered as soon as they took
time to do little quiet thinking.
The parliamentary status OF the
Dill after thc conference report
was made tied its opponents hand
aud feet, unless they could con-
troll enough votes to reject the
conference report, as a motion to
accept the report was the only
one that was III order. Could
separate votes have been taken 4
motion to reduce the duty OH
white pine lumber to 81, could
easily have been carried, as could
motions to replace cotton ties,
bagging. burlaps aud other arti-
cles on the free list, but when it
came to rejecting the conference
report with all the uncertainty of
what would be the result of re-
opening the entire bill to amend
ment a majority was opposed to
it. The trouble with those who
wished to change portions Of the
bill was that they did not include
any of those who voted for the
bill as a whole or who would have
voted for it, even if the changes
they wanted had been made.
That is why the effort was a fail
ure from the start.
1t is somewhat uncertain
whether the sugar trust imposed
on congress and got much more
than congress thought twas get
ting III the final sugar schedule of
the tariff bill, or whether it's now
imposing upon that portion OF the
public whlcil invests its money in
sto~k speculatlons. If the present
unprecedentedly high price for
the sugar trust stock is naintain-
ed it will indicate tllat the first is
true, but if the price of that stock
takes a tumble, as some are pre-
dieting, 1t Will be good evidence
that the trust has worked the
spectators to make up for what
1t failed to get from congress.
That some people have queer
ideas Of the power Of the presi-
dent IS shown by the urgent writ
ten appeals which have come to
President Mckinley concerning
the big coal strike. Without ex-
ception these communications
have come from educated people,
and without exception the writer's
ask the president to stop the
strike at once. Doubtless the
writer OF each OF these. appeals
has an idea that all the president
would have to do to stop the
strike would be to intimate to the
strikers and their employers that
he wished 1t stopped. AS a
matter OF tact the president has
no more authority to stop the
coal strike, or any other strike,
than the hunlblest reader OF this
paragraph has. He might, Of
course, influence either or both
sides, by suggestions or persua-
sion, but he cannot order them.
It IS very we'll known that Maj.
Mckinley would like to see the
strike satisfactorily ended. he
