Dover N. H, June 29-The second day

Refnse to Contract Coal.

Chicago, July 19.-Consumers of an- thracite coal are now being given ob- ject lessons in the ability of the coal trust to control the output and prices in the city, not only for immediate de livery, but for the future. The big dealers are refusing to make contracts for winter delivery and give as their reason that they do not themselves know what the price is to be next fall. From information gathered it seems that the trust is preparing to mold up' not only the consumer, but the dealer as well.

WILL NOT BE SILVER.
Gen. A. J. Warner, the Well-Known Bt metaIIist, Gives His Views of the Po-
 liticaI Issues for 1900.

Milwaukee, July 19.-Gen. A. J. Warner, president of the Bimetallic league, who arrived in this city yester- day, does not believe that the silver question will be the leading one in 1900. He says that if the Philippine war is not ended by that time the strife on the islands will be one of the leading issues of the campaign. He expressed the opinion that Bryan would receive the democratic nomina- tion and said:
 do not believe there will be any change whatever in the position of the democratic party on the silver question. At the same time the increased production of gold is having the same effect on the business of the world that the restoration of silver would have had if it had been restored to free coinage and there had been no increase in the product of gold Tn other words it is the supply and not the par ticular color of the metal that does the work. The silver question, therefore may not press with the same force in 1900 that it did in 1906.

RoUNDLAP COTTON BALES.
To Satisfy the Demand the Entire
 Crop Will Eventually be so BaIed.

For once the cotton planter has Ian ally among the gl eat corporation. For years the cotton tie ring, the bagging com bine and the compress people have all lived off the cotton growers. There was no way to fight them and so they grew rich on their enormous profits which the farmers had to pay. Now tue American Cotton Company with it's Roundlap Bale is in the field and it is so revolutionizing the cotton handling business that many of the old expenses are necessarily wiped out. The farm CTS must inevitably get large share of the saving but the old compress people and the bagging and tie trusts are raising great commotion against the American Cotton Company as though they had always been the friends of the farmers. Unfortunately for them they never played the friend ly act before and now the farmers doubt the sincerity of their repentance.
 The Roundlap Bale is the trade mark name given by the American Cotton Company to its round bale to distin- gush it from all other bales The cot ton mills of New England and of Eu- rope are eager buyers of this bale be- cause as compared with all other bales 1t has many advantages covered by broad patents, which greatly lessen the cost of manufacture to the mill. This Roundlap bale eliminates two or three processes in manufacturing and as the cotton mills of the world are willing to pay more for this cotton than any other, it naturally follows that to secure the highest prices all Southern cotton must in time he mt up in this Roundlap form. Mir. Wm. c. Lowering, one of the most dlstin- guished cotton mill men of New England says:
 Fl do not hesitate to say that the time is coming when the cotton manu- facturers all over the world will insist that their cotton shall be delivered to them in the form of Round lap bale "

San Francisco, July 15.--Not since the departure of the regiment of Cali fornia volunteers for the Philippines have the streets of San Francisco pre- sented such a scene of animation as they did to-day, nor have steam whis- ties, cannons and bells created such a rumpus. The cause of the demonstra- ton was the landing of the Oregon volunteers and the California signal corps, preparatory to going into camp at the Presidio, and the final mastering out. Great crowds gathered early along the line of march. First in the line was Mai Noble, Gen. Shafter's aide, fol lowed by the band of the Third artil- lery. Then came Gov. Geer, of Oregon, and his staff and followed by the Cali fornians, who shared the cheers with the 0regonians. Then came the regi- ment headed by Brig. Gen. Summer and it's band. As the men marched company front up the wide street they made a splendid appearance. The ann balances bearing the sick and wounded followed, then battery c, of the Third artillery. All along the line of march the men were cheered to the echo and bands hired by individuals played live ly music. As the soldiers passed the Palace hotel they were deluged with flowers thrown from the windows by the guests. At the junction of Third, Market and Kearney streets the crowds were immense and the three morning papers, which have offices on the cor ners of those streets, viewed with each other to see which could make the most noise. A curious sight was long streamers of immense frecraclxers which dangled from the roof of a high building. As the soldiers neared this point the crackers were lighted and the racket they made was awful.
 Gen. Shafter and his staff, and Gov. Geer, of Oregon, and his staff and many notable army officers reviewed the parade as it passed up Van Ness avenue toward the Presidio. As the men passed the reviewing stand they cheered continuously. When the Pre- sidio was reached the men were given a rest and then commenced the work of going into camp. Here they will rest under military discipline for two or three weeks. Then the final muster out will take place and they will be sent to their northern homes by train.
