DREDGERS FORBIDDEN.
None Will be Allowed to be Used

STOCKTON, Jan. 21.-Information
has been received here by c. NJ. Ham
ilton, who has written to the Canadian
Government to know what steps he
should take to be allowed to dredg
the streams in the vicinity of Daw
son City notifying him not to attempt
to use a dredger on British territory,
as it was strictly forbidden. Dredgers
have never been used in Canada, and
there are no laws governing them ut
present. This will probably cause
many Of those who are outfitting expe-
ditions for the north to change their
plans, or remain away entirely.
Negotiations are being carried on be,

COAL DEALERS ASSOCIATION.
Circuit Judge Morrow Declares 1t
Illegal

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. Pin the
United States Circuit Court TO-DAY
Judge Morrow rendered his decision III
the case against the Coal Dealers AS
sociation of California granting a pre-
liminary injunction restraining that
corporation from acting in accordance
with its rules for the maintenance Of
the price at which coal was to be sold
TO consumers.
The application for the restraining
order was made by the Government
upon the grounds that the association
was interfering with trade and COM
merce by unlawfully combining TO up
hold the price of coal at a certain fig-
ure, in opposition 10 the terms Of the
antitrust Act of 1890. 1t was shown
that 500, 900 tons of coal We're being
annually consumed in this city, and
that the association controlled its dis
position, and had iron-clad rules 10
govern the price at which it was TO be
retailed.
The defendants contended that their
only object was to defend the public
against the acts of dishonest dealers
and that in any event they We're not
subject to the jurisdiction of the anti
trust Act, as they We're not incorpor-
ated.
The court, however held that the
constitution and bylaws of the asso-
citation came within the prohibitions OF
the Act, and were unlawful.

AN7I-SCALPING BILL.
THE HEARING BROUGHT TO A
CLOSE.
The Senate Committee Reaches an
Agreement to Vote on the
Measure Next Thursday.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2I.--The Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce
held it's first executive meeting to-day
for the considera ton of the anti-scalp-
| ing bill. The hearings We're brought
to close and the committee agreed to
vote on the bill a a meeting to he held
a week from to-day. The opponents
of the bill did not evince any disposi
ton to postpone the vote longer than
necessary to present their views, and
some of them expressed the opinion
that the vote would not be, under any
circumstances, delayed longer than two
weeks.
There was a general agreement to ac
cept the House bill as the basis of fu
ture consideration. This bill was orig
inally q copy of the Senate bill, but it
was amended in committee in particu-
lars which meet with the approval of
the Senate committee.
At to-days meeting several amend
ments additional to those made by the
House Committee were suggested
Among them was one compelling the
railroad companies to redeem unused
portions of ticket at a rate proportion
ate to the cost of the entire ticket: an
other mitigating the penalties imposed
for violation of the law and still an
other consolidating the bill with the
bill introduced by Senator Cullom last
week for the Improvement of the status
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
1t was stated that other amendments
still would be offered, and the intima-
ton was given out that one OF those
might provide that passes should be
made good to the bearer.
The discussion was along the lines
indicated by these suggestions, but
there was not a sufficiently general ex-
preston of opinion to form a definite
idea of what the vote will be- The op-
ponents Of the bill count upon getting
five votes for their proposition to con-
solidate the anti-scalping with the COM
mission BILL and they are even hopeful
of securing the sixth vote, which would
carry. In case the motion should pre-
vail. the effect would be equivalent 70
