example, recent developments have
been of great interSt. TIL Wesh coal

American article an entering wedge
The demand created by the lack of
Welsh coal in markets hitherto suppl
ed by Great Britain was satisfactorily
supplied by the American article Now
that the strike in the Welsh collieries
is over. the American exporters are
striving in every possible way to re

The cargOes sent abroad are not so
much notable by their quantity as on
account of their wide distribution at
so many points, these including such
distant places at Brazil. Cane Town,
Java and Singapore. All these NAV be
fairly termed new markets. Most of
the coal is Bituminous and in large
measure from West Virginia. though the
Pennsylvania fields are fairly renre-
scented. 1t is claimed that the Ameri-
can shippers can lay down coal more
cheaply at the Atlantic seaports than /
can the Welsh collieries at Cardiff. +
owing to the low price of American T
freights. The quality of the west Vfr-
ginia coal, especially for steamer pur-

The Town in Turmoil and No One

Virden, ILLS, Oct. 12-The arrival OF
imported negroes from the south at
1890 O'Clock today was followed by
desperate battle. Five hundred shots
were exchanged between the strikers
on one side and Sheriff Davenport and
his deputies and railroad police on the
other side. 1t is thought that at least
twenty on both sides were killed or
wounded. The best information is
that ten were killed and five fatally
wounded e-
When the Chicago & Alton train,
bearing the negroes, arrived, it was
met by fully 1900 unarmed miners
who were lined up on each side of the
track between the telegraph office and
the mine of the Chicago Virden Coal
company. The train was stopped i'm
mediately in front of the east gates of
the stockade and the trouble began at
once. Dozens of shots were fired from
