CLEVELAND, o., July 9.-The situa-
lion in this city over the coal etrike is
becoming desperate. The Cleveland
railroads are growing bold and confis-
eating coal, and those who depend on
regular supply are becoming
anxioue. The schooner B. w. Parkon
OF Detroit has been delayed In Cleve-
land since SUNDAY owing TO the actio u
The bost ,was loading coal at the
Cleveland ship building company
works. An Erie engine backed on the
high trestle which leads to the ca T
dumping machine and carried away
thirty care of coal which were TO have
peen loaded into the Parker. The
boat will have to go up light. Several
bnats were delayed touay owing to the
difficulty In securing fuel. The Inter.
ocean company. one Of the heaviest
freling firms on the lakes, has only
coal enough to last It's customers few
dsye.
Several other fucling firms have
nearly exhausted their supply.
The Pennsylvania and OHIO Fueiing
company has suspended business alto
gsther In Cleveland. There is consid-
cradle fuel In the Upper Lake region
and some Of 1t may have to be brought
down mere. II is generally admitted
now that the coal dealers ami mine
operators were very poorly prepared
for a strike.
The Morse Coal company has ceased
shipping coal altogether, and In fact
coal dealers as rule have delivered
nearly all their coal.

will cause all but the exceptionally
large boats to lay up. When the strike

demand for boats and the vesselmen
hope then to obtain better rates. The
vesselmen take indeed very philo.
e0phical view OF the situation. Ib ey
hold that It will improve she fail
trsf1i and that the miners will doubt
less be victorious In the fight.
The great plant OF the Cleveland
steel company closed this morning
owing to lack Of fuel. A number oil
other plants are preparing 10 shut
down.
