Senator NJ. A. Hanna. of Ohio, and
the party of pleasure-seekers accom-.
panyiDg him on q cruise Of the great
lakes, had thrilling experience Thurs
day on the coast Of lake Superior.
Their yacht, the Oomanche, a staunch

and stuck fast for sixteen hours in the
rocks that abound In that region. The
accident occurred at midnight, wher
the senator and guests we're comforta-

was considerable confusion for time,
but the captain soon found that the
yacht vas not in serious position, and
all settled down 10 await the arrival oil

into deep water at m. and resumed
her journey. Beyond a slight leak,
the yacht vas not harmed. The mis-
hap was caused by the pilot getting
the yacht out Of the channel.

FOR GOOD ROADS
Chicago Will Tax Everything Run
ming on Wheels

CHICAGO, July 13.-Every bicycle in
Chicago will pay yearly tax of 81 if
Mayor Harrison signs the ordinance
which the Council passed last night.
Vehicles of every description are taxed
from 81 to $12 per annum under the pro-
visions of the same ordinance.
In the city there are estimated to be
$1,000 bicycles and sufficient vehicles
to make the revenue derived from the
ordinance $1,0O0,00O per annum. Every
dollar of this is to be expended upon
repairing and keeping in good condition
improved streets.
Mayor Harrison says that 80 far as he
has studied the ordinance he is in favor
of it and thinks he will sign it. The vote
by which the Council passed it was SO
to 16.
The ordinance provides that, besides
the tax of 81 per annum, all vehicles shall
bear the annual taX-one horse, So; two
horses, SO; three horses, So; four horses,

Bank Consolidation

KANSAS CITY, NO., July 13.-The
Times announces that the Midland Ma
tional Bank, of which S. B. Armour of
the well-known Armour Packing Com
pany, is president, is to be consolidated
with the National Bank of Commerce
and that the deal has reached the point
where only the sanction of the Comp
troller of the Currency is needed to con-
summate it. The officials of neither bank
will give any information as to the de-
tails of the transaction. The Midland
National has long been considered one
of the solid financial institutions of the
city, having the backing of the Armours.
Only few months ago the National
Bank of Commerce also absorbed the
Metropolitan National Bank and it was
announced at the time that negotiations
were on looking to the consolidation of
at least one other national bank with the
institution.

ALASKA RICHES
Enormous Deposits Of Coal and Oil
Discovered

SEATTLE. July 13-What is said to
be the greatest oil discovery Is reported
from Alaska. Some gold prospectors
several months ago ran across what
seemed to be lake of oil. The lake was
fed by innumerable springs and the
surrounding mountains were full Of coal
They brought samples to Seattle and
tests proved it to be an oil of as high
grade as any ever taken out of Pennsyl-
vania wells. A local company was
formed and experts sent up. They have
returned on the steamer Topek, and
their report has more than borne out the
first reports. 1t is said there is enough
oil in the discovery to supply the world
1t is close to the ocean, in fact, the ex-
perts say that the oil oozes out into the
salt water. 1t is said that the Standard
Oil Company has already made an offer
fo the propety. The owners have filed
on $500 acres and are. naturally, very
much excited over their prospective for
tune.

ger trains, he declared, burned anthra-
| cite coal almost exclusively, as did some
of the locomotives of the fast freight
trains. Should it become necessary all
the locomotives. including those which
draw the freight trains, could burn an
thracite coal. The Pennsylvania is a
large carrier of coal, including the BIZ
luminous Goals, and should the strike
continue 1t would feel the loss of these
freights. The other railroads carrying
large quantities of coal are the Phila-
delphia and Reading. which runs to
Jersey City over the New Jersey Central
tracks, the Lehigh Valley and Delaware
Lackawanna and Western. The Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal Company and
the Lehigh Valley both operate coal
mines of their own. All these companies
report a good supply of coal on hand at
the present time.
The Manhattan Elevated Railroad
Company burns only anthracite coal in
it's engines, consequently it is not af-
fected by the strike. Even the owners
of river craft are not as yet much wor-
ried as anthracite coal is almost exclu-
sively consumed on the boats of al.
classes.
The time is drawing nigh for the deal
ers to lay in their winter stock Of coal
and should the strike be prolonged il
will cause some delay at least so far as
bituminous coal is concerned.
A director of one of the Ohio soft coal
roads said: 1--WE have eveidence from
the West that the soft coal strike is
really going to be the salvation Of the
transportation companies of that dis
trict because it will harmonize them and
ultimately get the price of soft coal to
price where there will be money in
hauling it as well as in mining it. AT
the 60-cent rate there is ruin. The rail-
roads are hauling at less than mill a
ton mile which does not pay for simply
the wear and tear of the rolling stock.
Every one is glad that the strike is so
general and has excited such widespread
attention from the public. This fact will
pave the way to an easier and larger ad-
vance in the price of coal than could
otherwise be obtained"
IOWA MINERS FESTIVE
DES MONIES, Iowa, July 13.-Thus far
no Iowa miners have Joined the strike,
but they are likely to do 80 at any time.
There are 10000 miners in the State and
until coal dealers commence the import
| ing into Illinois to fill orders where Illi-
nois miners are striking, little attention is
paid to the strike, fas the Iowa miners
are not we'll organized.
Their sympathies are with the Eastern
miners, however, and at several meet
ings held in the principal coal centers,
the opinion was expressed that it is time
to take action to help the Eastern miners
by cutting off the coal shipped, East.

CLEVELAND, July 13.-Trouble

Six non-union men entered crowd of
