COAL TRADE CONDITIONS.
THE Coal TradedJoHfhar' says:

Hard coal producers put up the price on July 2
and this makes all the orders that are on the
books good ones. and when the active demand for
coal supplies sets in. the present schedule be
realized. The output during June continued at a
pretty good pace, as the fall demand is sure TO
come, and there may not be TIE desired facilities
either Of product or transportation during that
term. A large amount has been forwarded to
Western points. There probability of any
lessened price for anthracite. Soft coal is being
produced in good volume, and the disposition is to
look for very active trade in few weeks. Some
operators are looking for large increase in the
foreign trade. Operators IN Kentucky and Indiana
have advanced the price Of soft coal.

MAY NOT BE RATIFIED.

Hay-Pauncefote Canal Treaty Said to he
Pigeonho1ed.
MINNEAPOLIs, March S.-A Journal
Washington special says: 1t is said on
good authority that the Hay -Pauncefote
canal treaty is not likely to be ratified
by the senate. It has been put into a
pigeonhole in the desk Of Senator Cush-
man K. Davis, chairman of the foreign
affairs committee, and there will re-
main indefinitely.
The claim is now made that the sena-
tor is not friendly to the treaty. Al
though not given to talking freely,
Davis has said enough to the fellow
members Of the committee to let them
know Enthusiastically how he feels. It
seems that he was not consulted or
taken into the confidence of the state
department. while the negotiations were
in progress Secretary Hay felt himself
quite competent to negotiate the treaty
and the first Senator Davis knew of It,
was when it was sent to the senate for
the approval Of that body. This was an
undoubted discourtesy to the chairman
of the senate committee on foreign af-
fairs.

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-A case of
what is supposed to be bubonic plague,
though the exact nature of the disease
is yet uncertain, has been discovered in
Chinatown. The patient, who is Chi
nese residing at 1904 Dupont street, was
immediately isolated and the whole of
Chinatown has been placed under strict
quarantine regulations.
> No fear is unprecedented of the spread
of the disease, whatever it may prove
to be.
A large force of police is being kept
in Chinatown to maintain the quaran-
tine placed upon that section pending
the outcome of the meteorological ex-
animation of those portions of the body
removed from the suspected Chinese.
The physicians interested in the case
are not yet prepared to make a definite
statement regarding the case, but from
others who have had experience in such
matters, it is learned that the case will
hardly prove to be one of plague as the
dead man has long been a resident of
this city. Had he been a recent arrival
from the Orient, greater alarm would
be felt. The Gordon of police now
watching Chinatown is kept there sim.
ply as precautionary measure.

wagons took the westerly route to the

Nearly Entire Dntch Population of Two

CAPE Town. March 7.-Nearlv the
whole OF the Dutch population of the
Prieska and Kenhardt districts are in
rebellion. Many of the Dutch from
neighboring districts are reported to
have joined them, notably Pet Mool-
man, who will lead the rebels to Brand
bles. Lucan Steinkamp, commanding
the Beers, Is reported marching OH Car

and Victoria West will rise. It is
thought that the total number of men
in arms will exceeds 900. The general
opinion Of loyalists is that a strong force
of British will be required as reverse

Press Unanimous in Denying Stories of u
Possible Uprising.
HAVANA, March S.-The frequent ru-
mors carried from the United States re-
gartling possible uprisings in Cuba in
the early future are causing the press of
the island to wonder who is responsible
for these stories. The newspapers with
out exception declare that the people of
Cuba never felt less like rising than
they do at present. Even the agitators
against a continuance of American &C.
cupation have been counseling modera-
ton of late and the tenor of their re-
marks are greatly moderated. Indeed,
the wish everywhere is expressed that
the approaching elections may pass off
without disturbance of any kind, as it
is felt that just now the eyes Of the
world are turned towards Cuba in her
effort to attain self.government and any
disturbances, even among the minor
elements, would be injurious to the
cause of Cuba.

course commended by the strategists

from correspondents with Lord Roberts
report that the enemy are increasing
continually on his front, extending, as
one. correspondent wires, eight miles

CAMPAIGN IN NATAL,

Butler Pushing His Forces Toward Van

LONDON, March 9.-For lack of news
from Field Marshal Lord Roberts,, at
tention turns to Natal. It is reported
that General Butler has pushed forward
a force along the Harrismith railroad
toward Van Reenan's Pass, using the
railroad freely for communication. It
appears that the Beers intend to take
up strong position in the Biggarsberg
range and contest that and the Glencoe
passes, although it hardly seems likely
that General Butler will attempt to
force these for the present. His plans,
however, are kept almost as secret as
those of Lord Roberts. While waiting
for the important developments which
are daily expected to occur in the Free
State, rumors Of peace recur. The Sec
ond edition Of The Times con.
tains dispatch from Cape Town which
says there is a crying need for an ex.

that nothing short of annexation is in
