ACORNER ON COAL.
One Finn Practically Controls the Stock of
the Monongahela River.


PITTsBURG. PA, August 2-By the
end Of next week all the coal in the
Monoghalea river will practically be In
the hands of the one firm and prices
will be made by the lucky possessors OF
the valuable mineral. There has been
much steady increase in the price OF coal
an the week and al the present time the
run-of-mine coal brings from 10 to 10 IL
cents.
Wnon the present strike began the firm
OF John IT. Jones & CO.. saw that prices
must advance and they quietly went TO
work and bought coal everywhere they
could at prices which now seems very
cheap. 7H3 q =
1ucy have teon Keeping this coal and
now practically control the coal trade
IN this vicinity.
When seen to-day Mr.. Jones refused 10
say Just how much coal they had. but adj
mitted that the amount was over 100000
bushels
Inquiries among other coal firms devel-
oDed the fact that there was very little
coal outside of that held by Jones & CO..
and that firm would be able TO get their
own price.
To-day they were asking IL for run
of-mine and 10 1-2 for lump coal. This
is an advance OF cents over yesterday
and 1t was predicted that coal would
be selling at 4 cents on Monday.
Slack was selling at 10 cents by the
barge load. While some coal is being
received here from West Virginia It Is
not for domestic purposes and will not
affect the price 10 any extent.

WASHINGTON. August 2S.-The Secre-
tary Of the Korean Legation stated to-
night that there was no truth I'm current
reports that the Korean Minister Mr..
chin Penn Ye. had been recalled as a re-
suit OF recent friction among Korean Off
cials here II is not improbable. however.
that the minister will voluntarily return
10 Korea at no distant date. The reports
OF his recall are hold TO result from the
il-feehng Of his failure to ATTEND the

doggedly stick to their picks On the
other hand, the strikers in the camps
seem as determined as ever. They are
waiting until the result of the hearings
in the cases Of the men arrested for vlo-
lating the injunction. show what course
the courts will take.
In case the men are released the morn
ing marches 10 the mines will be resumed.
and the De Armitts will have hard times
in holding their men at work. II the
courts hold the defendants in contempt,
the result IS problematicaL
To stay in camp without making demon
strations can do but little good and
some OF the strikers say they Will march
in spite Of courts and deputies.
The peaceful spirit. which has made the
strike the most remarkable on record. IS
being slowly worn away by tho veNations
and disappOintments which have been
showered upon the strikers
