MAJOR s1rr1NeER BIAokBA11E1
Our Consult General In Canada Turned Down
by q Montreal Club.

MONTREAL, Jan. GA sensation was caused
here tonight by the news that Major John L.
Bittinger, tho United States Consul-Genoral for
Canada, had been blackballod for membership
in tho st. James Club. Montroal's swell social
organization.
Major Bittinger was appointed Consul.Gen-
eral at Montreal a few months ago by President
Mckinley. When his nomination was made IL
was strongly opposed on the ground that Major
Bittingor, while internal revenue gaugor for
the Sixth district of Missouri, had conspired TO
defraud the United States, that he had pleaded
guilty to the charge and had been sentenced to
two years imprisonment and n ine of $1,000.
The opposition came to nothing, as Major Bit
fingers appointment was confirmed.
When he anne to Canada circulars were sent
to the leading newspapers and to prominent
citizens of Montreal giving tho details Of
the incident in Major Bittinger's career.
and they created an unfavorable i'm
preston. Major Bittinger's name was
preseated some weeks ago for membership in
tho st. James Club. and tho vote was taken to-
night. When tho ballot was counted It was
found that q large number Of blackballs had
been placed In tho box and the application was
rejected. The incident Ia likely to lead to o
great deal Of i'll feeling.

An Important Move In the Anthracite Coal
Trade Effected Recently.
J. F. Morgan g. Co. have purchased q majority
Of the stock Of the New York, Susquehanna and
Western Railroad Company. 1t is understood
that the purchase has been made in the interest
Of the Erie Railroad Company, and that in q few
weeks the Erie will make q fair offer to the hold
ers Of the minority stock. That there had been a
change in the control was disclosed yesterday
by the turning into the Susquehanna Company's
Office of about half the total amount of stock
outstanding, namely, 10000 shares. The stock
will be transferred to names furnished by ]. p.
Morgan & Co. Its requirement by that firm has
extended over several months, the stock having
been bought principally in the open market.
This change of control is of decided impor-
lance In its bearing upon the anthracite coal
carrying trade. The operation of the Susque-
hanna road in the interest of tho Erie removes
from the situation q possible disturbing element
and makes one less competitor in the trade.
The road ia essentially an anthracite coal carry
ing system. 1t has a total milea GO OF OCT miles

action for assault against Thomas. who was
fined In court this morning.
Thomas has come back at the Admiral with

Comptroller RobertS's guEGestion to Stop 1t II
Opposed By the Canal Board.
ALBANY. Jan. 6.-The members of the Canal
Board are opposed to the ridiculous suggestion
OF State Comptroller Roberts that the canal Inn
provement work be stopped at once. and that
the unexpended balance Of tho $4,000. 900 be
held in reserve until the people have an oppor-
tunity to vote on the question of spending the
additional 100000 needed to complete tho
work. 1t was learned to-day that tho work I'M.
der tho canal contracts already awarded will DO
continued. and that the unexpended balance of
the appropriation will be utilized to carry on the
work as far as possible. In accordance With the
views of Gov. Black, as expressed In his mes
sage, tho present Legislature will make pro-
vision for submitting to the people the question
of making available the additional money
needed to complete the work.
State Engineer Adams said to-day that no IN
tended that the work should go on, and IN
timated that the Comptroller would soon realize
that 1t was his duty TO dispose of the remainder
of the bonds called for by the original appropria-
ton for canal Improvements. Otherwise the
canal contractors can mandamus tho Comp.
troller and compel him to issue tho bonds in or
der to procure the money to pay the amounts
duo on their contracts.

BALTIMORE, Jan. Ga new telephone number,
3o4l, WAS put down to-day in the local direc-
tory. This addition is for tho submarine boat
Argonaut, which. when submerged. can be put
in communication with the outside world. The
first test was made to-day. when Simon Lake,
the inventor. succeeded in communicating with
people In this city and Washington. D. {. A
telephone was placed in the office Of the Lake
Submarine Company, from whence q wire was
run aboard the trgonaut.
Shortly after noon today the boat was sub
merged. and Mr.. Lake. from tho bottom of the
harbor. made himself heard. He first called up
the Office and received q quick and clear re-
Spouse. He then rung Off and called up people
at a greater distance. finally ending by COM
municatinR with the superintendent Of the te!e-
phone station at Washington. d. {. The test
proved satisfactory in every respect, and
marked q new sphere of usefulness In the sub
marine boat Argonaut.
The wire Is on q reel enclosed in water-tight
tubes, and can be used at q distance of several
miles il necessary. Mr.. Lake is now arranging
to make some tests In raising wrecks. He will
endeayor to raise the steamer Express. which Ia
