The river packets are suffering from
a coal famine at the intermediate coal
ing stations between Pittsburg and
Cincinnati. This state of affairs has
been existing for the better part Of a
week, and as a result the masters have
been put to no little inconvenience. A
number of the larger boats have been
running away behind time owing to a
shortage of coal.
La Grange tipple, just south of Bril-
liant, O., Belmont coal works tipple at
Bellaire, and the Wee Gee coal works
tipple are the only stations of any size
on the Ohio river between Pittsburg
and Cincinnati.
At La Grange the company cannot
secure enough miners to work the
mines. At the Belmont the boats can
not be furnished with coal until the
new steel trestle is completed, in place
OF the wooden structure, which was
burned. At Wee Gee the coal cannot
be furnished owing to the strike.
This makes il necessary for the
larger packets to carry coal enough to
run them from end to end. The local
boats, however, DO not touch any 9TH
er stations than the les mentioned,
and they may be compelled to discon-
tinue until fuel can be supplied. Fur
thermore, it is reported that since the
conditions at the intermediate stations
have already become known, the opera
tors at Pittsburg and Cincinnati have

1t was reported yesterday that the
coal mine, situated just south of Wells
burg, which has not been operated for
several years, will be %reopened. The
mine is owned by Wheeling parties.

and many of the spectators about the
immediate ring side are brought dis,
tinctly out on the canvas, enabling the
spectator to follow the course OF the
most remarkable heavyweight battle
in the history of the ring from end to

faction as though he were looking at

noise inseparable from a great COM

ance. The young violincellist, Elsa
Buegger, at once commanded recogni-
ton as an artist of ability and charm.
Miss Buegger is a very girlish person,
but a very genuine artist. She has
admirable facility, playing with pure
information and a technic at once exact
and suave, and with a lyric sentiment
that is true and fine. Her very APP
pearance ELECTED a deserved call, and
it will be a pleasure to hear her again."

carload of special scenery, two big
bands, a solo operate orchestra and a
company of t~hirty-five people ire some
of the features promised, and many
novel specialties will be introduced.
The play this year is handsomely
staged and a splendid sawmill scene
is introduced with all its startling real
istic effects among other special seem
cry carried by the company. A play
from way down East, the scenes of
which are taken from farm life in the
Vermont hills, is charming in its sim

acters are NOT overdrawn, but are true
to life. Unele Josh, the honest old
farmer, Aunt Jerusha, the Just Over
Dutchman" and the green goods man
are some of the characters introduced.

uowe's Moving Pictures.

Lyman H. Howe, the proprietor of
the peerless Moving Picture Company,
who will appear at the Opera House
Friday and Saturday, is> the pioneer
of the animated or moving picture
business. He was among the first to
start at it and commenced at the bot
tom. He perfected his own machines
from time to time, attached his own
inventions and patents until now he
has one of the best, most modern and
satisfactory machines in America and
has advanced it to such absence Of
Pickering so noticeable in most ma
chimes. Aside from this he is contin-
ually adding new and rare pictures so
as to be able to give return dates and
render a change Of programme. His
exhibitions are of unusual excellence
and superiority, and as far ahead OF
all others as day is of night.

LONDON. April 2.-Even the details
Of the engagement at Karee Siding sta

fail to instill much interest. It appears
to have been q one-sided affair, although
the Beers stoutly held their groun :

the danger of the British cavalry envel-
pping their tanks, the burghers, with

doubtless, Of occupying prepared posi-

BRITISH PUBLIC CRITICAL.

Believe Officers Should Have Known of
tho Presence of the Boers.
LONDON, April 3.-The latest news
from the front adds little to the public
knowledge of the convoy disaster. No
credence is given to reports that the
Beers numbered between 5000 and 49,
Coo. The general belief is that there
could not have been more than half that
number, but the mere fact that even SO
many as half could have been collected
SO near headquarters without the
knowledge of the British commanders
provokes much uneasy criticism.
The disaster is regarded as direct
result of the: inability of General
French to cut off the commando of Gen
eral Olivier and the other commanders
when escaping from the Orange river.
: Lord Roberts dispatch, dated two
hours later than that Of The Daily
Chronicle, says nothing Of the recapture
Of the guns, SO the story looks doubtful.
There is no news from other points.
Kenhardt was reoccupied by the Brit
ish without opposition.
That the Beers are congregating in
the vicinity Of Taungs is confirmed.
Lord Methuen S difficulties are appar-
emily increasing He has Boer laagers
or guerrilla bands on three sides Of him
and he will be obliged to watch care
fully his communications with the
Orange river.

WILL PLEAD FOR Beers.

Assistant Secretary Davis Formally Re-
signs His Position.
:ssMNGToN, April 3.-Webster d.
Wis, assistant secretary Of the interior,
has rendered his resignation. :.
MIR. Davis decided to resign because
of the acceptance Of an invitation to de:
liver a lecture on the South African
war and he felt that as an official he
could not express his views with such
freedom as he could as a private citizen.
The invitation was extended by nom
partisan citizens of Washington and
was not inspired in any way by persons
directly connected with Boer interests.
Mr.. Davis said:
ut is purely a matter of sympathy
on my part. went to South Africa
unprejudiced, visited both armies, saw
much of the British soldiers and people,
and also much of the Beers. After see-
ing what did I made up my mind
that the cause of the Beers was just;
that the two smallest republics in the
world were struggling against the great
est empire in the world, for home, JUS
tice and Independence. The struggle
seemed to me very unequal. The whole
number of Beers, including men,
women and children, is not greater
than the population of the CITY of Wash
ington, and yet these brave people have
the courage to put up the greatest figh
in history against an empire of four
hundred millions. concluded at once
that my sympathies were with those
struggling for liberty and I feel that
the American people should sympathize
with them In their fight for justice and
independence"
Mr.. Davis was asked what course he
would have the people Of this country
pursue in order to assist the Beers. He
replied:
"Do anything and everything within
their power and let Great Britain and
the world know that the sympathies Of
the American people are not with Great
Britain, but with the Beers, and In the
interests of humanity and civilization.
We should lot the world know that such
an unholy war should stop and stop at
once"
When asked as to whether he would
go on the stump during this campaign,
in the interest Of the Republican party,
MIR. Davis said that he did not care to
look into the future, and that all he had
within sight at present was his lecture
In Washington. He had no criticisms
to make in regard to the adminstra-
ton S attitude concerning the war in
Africa.
