The Dow, Jones Company say of the
coal situation: There have been dis
puted statements in regard to the anthra-
cite coal trade. but the statement of ship
ments of coal over Pennsylvania Eastern
lines has proved that the prosperity in
other businesses had not reached the an
thracite trade. While shipments of soft
coal and coke have increased this year
TO date a million tons each, anthracite
tonnage has increased 1000 tons only.
The Reading statement for the month of
July is complete confirmation of the
stories of the demoraliZed and unprofi-
table trade. In spite of a good general
business Reading Railroad gross earnings
decreased $22S.0 600, or u per cent, but coal
and iron gross earnings decreased $719, 600
or about Sc per cent The fact appears 10
be that while gross earnings on general
business increased, the earnings from
hauling coal decreased so heavily as 10

fc and to cause a decrease of S22S, 600
more. Net earnings of the entire system

DICK WILLIAMS
 GETS ONE YEAR Judge De Haven Disregards the Jury Recommendation
 to Mercy.
And Imposes the Maximum Penalty Upon the Ex-Chinese Inspector
 for Extortion.

Richard s. Williams, ex-Chinese inter preter for the Chinese Bureau, appeared yesterday morning with George D. Col Iins, his counsel, in the United States Dis trict Court, for sentence on the conviction of having extorted $100 from Wong Sam to secure the landing of a Chinese immi- grant at this port.
 Mr. Collins made an argument of two hours duration in support of his motion for a new trial on the ground that the court erred in excluding and admitting certain testimony and in refusing to read to the jury certain instructions asked for by MT Collins. That gentleman produced several law authorities to show that the rejected instructions word for word had been approved by the Supreme Court. Deputy United States Attorney SchleSin- structed the jury on the points cited, but had seen fit not to use the wording or the rhetoric prepared for him by the prison CTS counsel.
 Judge de Haven remarked that it was not necessary that the court should use the exact language of instructions pre- pared by counsel It sufficed that the ideas should be given, the language not ideas were presented intelligibly to the jury.
 The motion for new trial was denied. and Williams was directed to stand and the jury had recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court, Judge de Haven said that while ordinarily he was dis posed to give great weight to recommen- dations for mercy, he did not find in this case anything in the evidence upon which to base such recommendation, and he felt it to be his duty to impose the maximum penalty. namely one years Imprisonment in the County Jail of San Francisco.

Lack of Money Makes a Mineral Display at

Whether California shall make min eral display at the Trans-M Mississippi Ex- positfon is a question that remains an open one with the chances being that it will be decided in the negative soon.

The absence of any visible source of this important supply Is what makes the question doubtful

Yales estimate for 1896 was ST ,1S1 ,562, and this is the record for that year adopted by the State Mining Bureau. but the estimate was greatly reduced by the Director of the Mint. The reason for the reduction is wholly the short supply of water throughout the greater part or the mining regions during most of the portant quartz mines and many placer mines were forced to close down for a time or run on half time, and this condi- ton undoubtedly reduced the output by S3 000 900 or s4,000,000. During the year there were more new mines opened, old mines rehabilitated and nIiis increased in capacity than in any year of the last new activity was spent in unproductive development work, but there were also scores of mines that greatly increased their scale of productive operations and had the water supply remained normal large increase in the product would have been shown.
