FEARING A COAL FAMINE.
A Serious Situation Reported in the
Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. THE situation in the
bituminous coal market of Chicago is daily
growing more serious. say the dealers. a
meeting u ftthe Miners and Wholesalers
Coal Association of Chicago was held yes
terday. and the sentiment expressed was
that steps OF some nature must be taken
very shortly to relieve the threatened strin-
gency or Chicago may face a coal famine
THE fact of the matter is.'' said A. A.
Tanney. manager Of the Island Coal Com
pany. I'VE have little coal in Chicago.
The condition is daily growing more serious
and We can see no way TO relieve it. The
trouble is lack of shipping facilities and
lack OF miners. The good times are re-
sponsible for the shortage in miners"
This statement is boldly made in the face
OF the fact that 100, 600 men are out OF
work in Chicago, many being miners. and
the Milington coal mines are almost within
a stones throw of the city.

SAYS THE EAGLES ARE
FLYING EVERYWHERE
GRAND LECTURER H. H. THoMP-
SON OF SEATTLE HERE.
Oakland and Sacramento Charters to
Be Returned and Many New
Eyries Started.

II. II. Thompson of Seattle, grand lee
turer Of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles,
has been in this city for some time exam
lining into the condition Of the order IN
California. Mr.. Thompson said last even
ing that the growth OF the Eagles in this
State and in fact throughout the Union
was simply marvellous.
THE local eyrie," said Mr.. Thompson,
has . membership Of over 700 including
applications now being considered. The
recent detection of certain members has
not affected the order in the least, unless
il has been to solidify it and increase it's
popularity. 1t is the same all over. In
San Jose the eyrie met to consider the re-
port brought back by certain gentlemen
from the Grand Lodge. and the members
proposed sending in their charter and
the officers were charged with treason.
Wednesday night the trial took place 1t
was proved that the report from Seattle
was false, the officers were acquitted and
took their seats again, and by a standing
vote every member pledged himself TO
stand by thte order Of Eagles for all time.
In Oakland and Sacramento, whore the
eyrieS returned their charters when they
received this report. it is the same. The
members are now enthusiastic supporters
of the order and both charters are to be
returned and the eyries re-establiShed.
Applications for new charters have been
received from many points. and eyries
will at once be formed in every town in
California having population of 5000 or
more.
Throughout the East the growth of
the Eagles is equally rapid and the order
now has a total membership OF over 10 .00J
and is increasing by the hundreds every
week. Eyries are being formed as rap
idly possible in all the large cities
throughout the East. and will spread to
the smaller towns as fast as we can grant
the applications for charters.
LAS some severe criticisms have been
made on the standing of our grand Off
GERS, ! would like to say that the past
grand president is John Cort, the we'll
known theatrical manager of the North
west; John w. COnSidine, the grand pres
ident, is a prominent saloon man of Seat
tie; Vice President DIR. II. r. Littlefleld
of Portland is one of the best known
members Of fraternal societies on the
coast; Treasurer George NJ. Holloway has
twice been elected County Clerk of Seat
tie; the chaplain is Rabbi Eisenberg of
Montana; while of the trustees. Vande-
venter is Sheriff of the county Ambrose
is editor and proprietor of the Argus and
O'Brien is one Of the leading attorneys
of the State. All the county officers with
TWO or three exceptions belong to the
Seattle Eyrie. while the Olympia Eyrie
numbers among its members all but three
of the State officers of Washington I
think that shows our standing in the
North"
Mr.. Thompson will be here for several
weeks and may possibly make his home
here. He is at present engaged in mining
up north.

Refuses to be Bound by the Award
of ArbitratorS

Los ANGELES, June 15-The Los An
geles Water Company has replied to the
resolution adopted by the City Council, in
which that body accepted the award of
the arbitrators and asked the company
whether or not it would also accept the
award.
This morning Secretary Mott handed to
City Clerk Hance a resolution adopted by
the directors of the water company and a
legal opinion rendered to the directors of
the company by the attorneys for the
company The opinion declares that the
alleged award is not an award because it
was agreed to by but two of the arbitrat-
ors instead of three, as provided in the
contract. and for this and other reasons
the directors refused to abide by the
decision of a majority of the arbitrator
or to be bound by their award.
