PRICE OF COAL is ADVANCING
Cornered by a Clique to Take Adj
vantage of the Country's
Necessities,

Pitsburg, Pa, July 13.-The price
of bituminous coal in the Pittsburg
market today was $1.5O a ton. A week
ago it was 20 cents.
This sensational advance, which
would mean millions in a weeks oper-
atoms with the zines running, has
been forced by manipulation.
A great speculation is on. Operators
who anticipated the strike and laid
i'll large stocks are holding coal for
higher prices. I know one operator in
Pittsburg who has 100000 tons of coal,
not one ton of which is he ready to dis
pose of until the price goes even high
er than $1.50.
Some of the coal he bought from an
operator the day after the strike began
for ~ cents a ton. AS things stand
now this operation will make $4,000.
lie expects to make much more. His
miners are all on strike and he holds
$1,000 as II 10 per cent forfeit on their
wages. This also is profit.
A Cleveland clique is also in the
movement to hold back the coal until
the price goes to an enormous figure.
Cleveland has a coal famine now, and
there are many hundreds of cars load
ed IN west Virginia ready to be dis
patched to the lakes. Yet no effort is
being made to get them through.
One of the receivers of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad said that he did
not know whether this road would at
tempt to haul West Virginia coal at
all. Coal is being held back on the
other Ohio roads that do business be-
tween West Virginia and the lakes.
The excuse for not sending it through
is that the striking miners would pre-
vent Its transportation.
1t looks as though there is a corner
in soft coal which had previously been
arranged on inside information that
the strike was to come off and the sup
ply was being held back. If this be
true a million dollars will be made
out OF the miners strike in another
week. 1t is q great game. and the
cards seem to have been dealt.

DEBS' MOTIVE APPARENT
HE is SEEKING VOTES
He Wants the Aid of Politics to
Strengthen His so-CaIled
Social Democracy.
AFTER PLACES IN CONGRESS
The Radical Platform on Which He
Will Base His Claims--Social-
istic Cloud Over Silver
Popularity.

Chicago. July 14.-The social democ-
facy of America, fresh from the ashes
of the American Railway union, with
Eugene Y. Debs as sponsor, is knock
ing at the door of politics for rccogni-
ton. II viii attempt to solidify the
labor vote under the banner OF social
ism in the next congressional cam
paign. With n sufficient number of
sNmpafhlZcrs in congress. il is declared
n federal appropriation will he agitat-
ed. and possibly obtained. to relieve the
restitution of labor by the develop
nient of Mr.. Debs' proposed western
Utopia.
The leaders of the organization will
be successful, 50 it is conceded, in rails
ing considerable money by popular
subscription and assessment To start
the suggested commonwealth. It's
maintenance and development, how
ever, will require an indefinite sum-.
The projectors realize hat the pro-
posed industrial paradise cannot be
built upon rose-tinted sentiment or
hearts of hope. Practical ways and
means have been discussed. Politics,
with a pathway to Uncle Sans strong
Don, became y popular suggestion.
After this determination tips were
scattered TO the organizers.
Nominations for congress, with an
appeal to the laboring Masses, are to
be made in Illinois and every state
where the social democracy secures a
foothold. Politicians see in this new
movement Il peril to the silver question
as the exclusive panacea for the dis
coiteilted. ITominent silver men of
Chicago have been approached and
urged to divide their devotion to silver
in the future. They have been asked
to hug Debsism to their breasts and
lali 1t as the new and greater issue.
Dtbs' Platform.
The platform on which the
sional candidates of the social democ-
racy will stand, with possibly a pass
ing recognition of free silver, will be
as follows:
l. The public ownership of all indus
tries controlled by monopolies, trusts
and combines.
.. The public ownership of all rail-
roads. telegraph, telephone, all means
of transportation, communication,
waterworks, gas and electric plants,
and all other public utilities.
3. The public ownership of all gold,
silver, copper, lead, coal, iron, and all
Othef mines; also all oil and Il
wells.
4. Reduction of the hours of labor
in proportion to the progress of pro-
duction.
5. The inauguration of Il system of
public works and improvements for
the employment of the unemployed,
the public credit to be utilized for that
purpose.
8. All useful inventions to be free to
all, the inventor to be enumerated by
the public.
Z. The establishment of postal saw
ings banks.
8. The adoption of the initiative and
the referendum, the imperative
date and proportional representation.

Friendship Between Girls.

Choose your friends as QUO chooses a
gown-for good wearing qualities. A
snowy, brilliant girl may have Just as
good wearing stuff in her as a plain,
dowdy girl, there being no special
merit in plainncss. Ope's friends must
be sincere and k~iud-hearted, must be
loyal to n through everything, and,
OF course, one must be loyal to ono'i
friends. Never remain silent if an alb.
sent friend needs to be defended. Never
indulge in criticisms III your friends.
nor laugh at their folbles. Never, al
any temptation. hurt n friends feelings.
Try to see their, and to show ydul
friend your own, best side. There are
some beautiful examples Of friendship
between women, Which were begun
when the two were children, and which
lasted through a long life. Maria Hare
and Lucy Stanley fell in love with one
another when they were7 Z. and were jus,
as much in love when they both were
70. They wrote long letters to one an.
other all the way from youth to old age,
and had gay times and sorrowfnl times
as people do, but never ceased to bs de,

THEY HELD A SUNDAY SESSION
Tariff C~onferees Meet and Make n
Further Effort TO Adjust
Differences,

Washington, July 13.--The confer
ecs on the tariff bill held a four hours
session yesterday. The anxiety to
each complete agreement as soon as
possible induced them to meet on the
Sabbath and both the house and SEN
ate conferees appear satisfied with the
progress that has been made. Several
hundred of the minor amendments
have beer agreed upon, many of them
mere changes of phraseology, and on
a large majority of these the house
confcrees naturally have yielded. None
of the real important problems i'll the
bill, however, have as yet been solved.
All of them have received more or
less consideration and there has been
a free exchange of opinions. The tenn
per and disposition of the senate and
house conferees on these important
matters have in this way been ascer-
tanned. In several cases the %conferees
are very close to an agreement. Both
sides, SO one of the conferees said last
night, show Il commendable spirit of
~conciliation, and while in several in
stances each side seems to be holding
out strongly for its contention as to
rates, he said there had not yet APP
peared on the horizon anything which
portended such difficulty as would not
in time be surmounted.
There is the best of reasons for be-
lieying that several of the main points
of contention will be compromised.
1t is impossible to estimate yet when
a tinal agreement will be reached, and
although various dates are given as to
the length of time the bill will re-
main in conference, ranging from
Tuesday to Il week from today.
che of the most influential of the con-
%ferces said last night that all estimates
were necessarily pure guess work.

TRAINING OF cAMELs.
Arabian Children Teach Them to Kneel
that They May He Loaded.

In Arabia the camel is the "beast of
burden" and is known as %the ship Of
the desert"
Arabia is about ene-third the size OF
the United States, and about one-third
of Arabia is covered by deserts.
This broad belt Of deserts surrounds
the valleys that are part of the great
plateau which occupies the interior of
the country. And across these go "the
ships of the desert"
These ships of the dcsert" carry tho
goods of merchants from one city to an-
other. There is no water on the desert.
But tina camel has three stomachs in
stead Of onc. And before setting out
on n journey cue of these stomachs tho
camcls fills with water. SO there is no
danger Of becoming thirsty o the way.
There are two kinds of camels, the
Bactarian and the Dromedary. The
Bactarian has two humps on his back.
and is a native Of Turkey and China.
The D%ronedary has only u hump, and
is "the ship of the desert" of which we
have been speaking. The camel lives
in Arabia.
The Arabian children make much OF
1t. While the little dromeuarles arc
being trained for beasts of burden, they
aud tho children learn to like each
other. The first thing the little camel
is taught to do is to kncel down. A
camel is so tall it must kneel down tt
be loaded. So when the dromedary i
two months old it is made to kneel down
for several hours every day. A rug
Is thrown over 1t and heavy weights
are placed all along the edge of thi.
covering to prevent it from getting up

And the boy crouches close to the black

And, haunting the tree-sheltered labor

Like pebbles the rain breaks the face OF

While a hupb.e starts up from each widen

And the boy in dismay hears the loud
shower fall.
But soon are the harvesters tossing their

ing story which comes here from Cleve-

for United States senator and will pub

that Cayuga county, the home OF Mark

eral assembly, and he is arranging
matters SO hat only his personal

ton. Mr.. johnson is very much OPP
posed to the election of John r. Nc
Lean to the senate, and he is giving
aid and comfort to the nnti-McLean
faction throughout the state. 1t is
predicted that as the campaign pro-
crosses the anti-McLean sentiment will
crystalline around johnson and make
him an important factor in the sena-
torial contest. He is a free trader. n
