STEAMER DISABLED AT SEA.
Big FreiEhter lowed Into Port With
Great Difficulty.


Great Difficulty.
The British steamer Sir Garnet Wolselay
was towed into Halifax, N. S., yesterday
by the steamer Runo, which had pulled the
Wolseley $50 miles, occupying nine days.
The tail-end shaft Of the Wolssley broke
in the middle of the Atlantic. $3.50 pm,
Thursday, April u, rendering her entirely
helpless. The steamer carried no sail, and
the break, being in ths stern tube, could
not be reached to make repairs. The ship
was very low in the water, having a full
cargo Of 13, 600 quarters of corn. The Runo,
in ballast, was signaled the following day,
Good Friday, at noon, the weather being
moderate, and at once took the helpless
craft in tow for Halifax.
Heavy weather was encountered by the
two ships, and the towing lines parted
seven times, no single wire or manila haw-
ser being found on either steamer equal to
the strain. Sometimes the steamers were
separated by darkness with heavy seas, but
the Runo's captain stuck to the task. The
last break was on Thursday, April 10.
Rockets were exchanged with the Wolseley
during the night, while the Runos crew
worked twisting three eight-inch manila
hawsers together. The end of the ninety
fathom hawser was passed on board the
Wolseley at noon the next day, and forty
five fathoms of the latter's chain cable
bent on it to give the required length. With
this connection the remainder of the tow
was uneventful.

Waiting for Supreme Court Decision

A dispatch from Frankfort, Ky, last
night says: While the Franklin county
grand jury has not adjourned, it is under
stood that the investigation of the Goebel
assassination has been completed. The in
dictment against Republican Governor Tay-
lor, charging him with being an accessory
to the murder, will be held up till after the
argument of the governorship contest case,
which Is docketed for hearing before the
Supreme Court at Washington April 80, and
it is said by persons in the councils of the
prosecution that no steps will be taken in
the case till after that time.
The rumor that Gov. Beckham had been
applied to for requisition is without foun-
dalton.
Col David Colson, who has been confined
in the Franklin county Jail, which is guard
ed by the Beckham state troops, and who
was acquitted on his trial in the circuit
court yesterday of the killing of Lieut.
Scott, addressed the soldiers this morning
in response to an invitation from them. He
left for his home in Middlesboro tonight
His room was crowded all day by friends,
who called to congratulate him on his &C.
quittal.

statistician of the United States geological
survey, to have amounted to 30 S3S973
long tons, equivalent to 25S .lS9, $50 short
tone. AS compared with the production in
1888, when the product amounted to 1885,
4a5,!S3 long tons or 2l991i,667 short tons.
this indicates an increase of over "a, 600 eco
long tons, or us per cent. These figures
exceed by 100000 short tons the outside
eStimat ties heretofore made on the coal tom
mage for 1890, The production of 22o,coo,-
WU snort tons in 1893 was nearly O.GOo0D
in excess of that in 1897 and both of these
years We're banner years in the industry.
1t is not impossible that the figures for
1899 as estimated, may be somewhat re-
duced by later and more complete returns,
and. in fact this may be predicted as prob
able, but even a reduction of 5.GDo 600 tons
would not amount to per cent of error in
nous product is estimated at S259 AZ, Alp,
an increase of over ST. 100000. or practi-
cally 20 per cent over the value of the
product in 1898.

The part that anthracite coal played in
this unprecedented production was an in
crease from AZ ,663, O75 long tons, or So $50 =

or SO,320,395 short tons in 1899, with an in

nous production Gncluding semi-anthracite,
seml-htum1nous, camel, block and Ignite

In value. There were only three states
that did not participate in the general in
crease. These We're Arkansas, Georgia and
Idaho. In the former the production was
cut down by strikes which kept some of
the largest mines idle a good part of the
year. The decrease in Georgia was very
small, and the entire product of Idaho has
no effect on the total
Another interesting and. unusual feature
OF coal production in 1899 was the fact that
there was an advance in prices, the first
instance of the kind in ten years

Gen. Greedy, chief signal officer Of the
army, has positive information that the in
corruption OF the cable between Iloilo and
Manila, announced by the cable companies
several days ago. was caused by an earth
quake, and not by the insurgents, as has
been reported. Gen. Greedy explains that
the break occurred in the deep sea, and
nothing short of a sea-going vessel, fully
equipped for the purpose, which the insur-
gents do not possess, could possibly grapple
and cut the cable. The break occurred
about week ago. and the signal corps is
now at work upon the break. 1t is ex-
pected that communication will be restored
by May /. In view of the fact that breaks
in the cable are likely to occur at any time
from earthquake shocks an alternative line
is now being laid from Manila to Sebu along
the north coast of Luzon, which it Is thought
will practically insure communication at ali
times between those points

PORTE REPLIES TO OUR DEMAND.

A dispatch from Constantinople yesterday
says:
The porte has replied to the American de-
mands stating that Turkey will compensate
American missionaries under the same con-
ditions as in the case of other foreign sub
jects.
The United States legation joined the other
embassies in protesting against the increase
of import duties, the reply to the notifica-
ton Of the porte asserting that the United
States government expects to be previously
consulted with regard to any changes.
The porte has not yet replied to the last
collective note, but the changed tone of the
Ottoman officials leads to belief that set
Element has been reached in conformity
with the demands of the foreign representa-
tives. 1t is now fully expected that the
porte will invite the embassies to discuss
the proposed changes.
There is the greatest interest in political
circles regarding the attitude of the United
States in her indemnity claim, and it IS be-
lieved that the powers having similar claims
will support American action
An imperial trade has been issued o4dsE-
ing the porte to formulate proposals regard

THIS WEEK IN THE SENATE.
Quay Case VIII he Voted On at A
O'Clock Tomorrow.

O'Clock Tomorrow.
The Senate will give considerable atten-
ton during the present week to questions
of privilege involving three seats in the
Senate. Under the unanimous consent
agreement reached on the 10th instant the
resolution declaring Senator Quay not to be
entitled to a place in the Senate probably
will be voted upon at o'clock tomorrow,
and in the meantime several speeches will
be made upon the resolution.
After the Quay vote Is taken Senator Nc
Comas, who as a member of the committee
on privileges and elections has had charge
of the protest against Senator SCOTS con-
tinuing to occupy his seat as a senator from
West Virginia, will call up the resolution
in that senator's behalf and ask for imme-
date consideration. The prospect is that
there will be little or no debate on this res
oiution, as the report of the committee is in
the line of Senate presidents.
1t IS the intention of the committee on
elections to ask that the Clark case be
taken UP as soon the Quay and Scott
cases are disposed Of How much time this
case will consume will depend largely, If
not wholly, upon Mr.. Clark himself. He
still says that he will not decide upon any
line of action until the report of the com
mittee is made public. If he should elect to
continue the contest there would be more
or less delay for the preparation of
1t is expected that a vote will be reached
on the Alaskan code bill during the week

The Philippine bill will continue to hold
its place as unfinished business on the
calendar. but it is likely to receive COM
paratively little attention during the week
The army appropriation bill will be taken
up as soon as the election cases are dis
posed Of The Notifications and agricultural
appropriations will be reported soon. and
these also may be taken UP as soon as OBJ

bridge was not seriously hurt, he returned
across the bridge and came home.
Wanted to Make a Case.
Deputy Sheriff Gather, while at police
headquarters today, said to Star reporter
that he went to Cabin John Hotel the Sum
day of the fatal occurrence for the purpose
of making a case against the proprietors
for the alleged Illegal sale Of liquor. Be-
fore going there. he said, he consulted the
judge, and learned from him that he had no
authority either to close the place or to force
an entrance. When he reached the hotel,
he said, he was met at the door by a man
who informed him that he could not enter
the building. There was nothing left for
him to do. he says, but leave, and he re-
turned home.

The production and consumption OF coal
Is so closely associated with that of pig iron
and of manufactured iron and steel that it
is worth while to note what effect the rec
ord for 1899 made by these commodities
will have upon the total mineral produc-
ton for 1899 The production of pig iron in
1879 was 13.IUoGo0 long tons. against H.
1874 long tons in 1898. The average
price for pig iron in 1899 was about SIS per
ten, making the total value about s246. Goa =
600, against SIG, 1857 900 in 1898, when the
average price was less than so per ton.
This makes an increase of Sl30. 100000. and
the increase of SOL, 10000 in the value of
the coal product makes a total increase of
$1S1 100000, which, without any increase in
the total value of the mineral product in
1899 about $500 600 coo.

A discussion of the case followed. and the
young men explained their conduct at the

1t appeared from the conversation that the
young men knew nothing of Johnson's

TAKEN TO ROCKVILLE
Young Man Accused of Causing Death
Of Aloysius johnson.
HIS FRIEND ALSO UNDER ARREST
Statement Made by Each Respect
ing the Unfortunate Affair.
SUNDAY ROW AT CABIN JOHN

The police succeeded last night in solving
IN part the mystery which shrouded the al
legged fatal assault on Albert Aloysius john
son at Cabin John bridge a week ago. En-
nett Edwin Griffin and William E. Denni-
son were taken into custody and they made
statements detailing the circumstances at
tending the unfortunate affair. Griffin, who
is twenty-one years old, lives with his par
ents at No. 1882 10Th street northwest. and
is employed as a clerk by Capt. Patrick
O'FarreH. He is a High School graduate
and was member of the school foot ball
team four years ago. Ever since he was q
lad he has been called Tap His COM
panion, whose friends cali him Denny IS
only twenty years old. He is a clerk IN
the War Department ard lives at the home
o. his mother and stepfatheT. Tarben Dyer,
at 1J11 r street northwest.
Both young men are well known. Neither
of them. it is said. ever INDUCED in intoxi-
cants. and for this reason. the officers state.
they are better able to tell just what hap
pened at the bridge than are many of the
men in the crowd who had been indulging
in intoxicants at the hotel during the day.
1t is the claim of the young men that
Johnson received his fatal injury by falling
on the bridge and not from a blow. Dem
nison says he dealt Johnson, or the man
whom he believes was Johnson, one blow
in self-defense That blow was struck, he de-
clares. before the parties left the vicinity of
the peanut stand, and after he had been
struck by Johnson.
