THE COMBINE MUST GO.
All Coal Companies along the Kanawha
Must Immediately Dissolve the Com
bination-The James g. Blaine Meets
With an Accident.

PITrsBURG, August 2l.-A decision
has just been rendered by the United
States Court at Cincinnati that can
hardly help but have marked effect
on the prices of river coal both from
the Kanawha and Monongahela river
mines. The decision is in the case
against the West Virginia coal pro-
ducers, and orders an immediate dis
solution of the combination that was
formed about year ago, between
nearly all the coal companies having
mines along the Kanawha, river, and
also those in other parts of West Vir-
ginia. The scheme was adopted for
the purpose Of fixing uniform price
for coal, and the first move was TO adj
vance the price several cents per BUSH
Ell. The Kanawha men now get II
cents bushel for their product deliv-
cred at Cincinnati, which is the figure
quoted for Pittsburg coal there. But
under the decision just handed down
any company in the combine can sell
at a lower price, thus opening the
door for renewal OF the old-time
competition.
The packet James G. Blaine met
with mishap at the Monongahela
City wharf Thursday night by which
a colored deckhand was severely in
jured and the boat considerably dam
aged. While pulling out from the
wharf the packet was struck by the
tow of passing steamer, and had her
fantail torn off and her stern crushed

General Belief That Russia VIII Not Adj
vance ON Herat at Once.
New YORK, April l9. A dispatch to
The Til bune from London says: The
vacuum created by the shrinkage of
war news is filled with dispatches far
afield and with, political rumors and
gossip. The Times publishes the text
of q letter from the ameer Of Afghan
sistan commenting upon British indiffer-
3ence to Russian aggression, and con-
veying the significant hint to the In
dian government that the present is the
time for Deeds. not for talk. The thor
.oughly entertained opinion in diplo.
matte circles is that Russia will not
take advantage Of the British situation
in South Africa, but will wait until the
end Of the war, or until the time comes
for the division Of Portuguese territory
in South Africa, between Germany and
England. Russia will then Offset the
British and German gains in this terri
tory by ordering an advance on Herat
and by trengthening her grip upon
Persia. "a 5 8g s .s5 r .as5 <E.5 &. s
