HARVEST For sCAhPERs.
Remped Golden ziIztrYsest During the
G. A. r. Encampment,

The grand encampment of the 6. A. r.
at Chicago, which has just closed, afford
ed golden opportunities for the scalpers
industry. The harvest reaped by
ticket Scalpers is said to exceed any
thing that has ever yet been recorded
in the annals of the business. More than
one hundred scalpers pitched their tents
In Chicago during the week and did a
thriving business with the return coupons
CT the old soldiers.
Under the regulations made by the
companies who sold these reduced tickets
to the soldiers and others who went to
Chicago last week, any ticket could be
extended until Sept. 80 by having it de-
posted at the joint agency by noon today;
otherwise 1t was void after last Friday.
As the result of this privilege over $4,000
tickets, were deposited at the Eastern Pas
senger association office, and over Is, coo
at the Western office III Chicago.
A gentleman in charge of one Of these
Offices stated yesterday that by noon to-
day he expected to Jhave at least one
thousand more of these tickets deposited
by regular passengers. besides the many
hundreds that scalperS will hand in. They
have had large ntifhber left on their
hands, and for fear9ithat they are going
to be unable to dispose of them. they
took advantage of the right to deposit
them, depending upon their luck to get
them out and handle them after they
have once been deposited. The right of
derositing was given the scalpers for the
fee of fifty cents for each ticket but
session Of their tickets. No one will ex-
cept the original purchaser. The conduc-
tors of the joint agency will have to be
satisfied Of the identity Of the person
Tegaining the ticket before he can get it.
and it win be very difficult, if not impos-.
sible. for the scalperis to give such proof
of their being the ''original purchaser
in a single case. BY this means. then,
the scalpers will lose largely. while he,
has at the same time made a great deal
of money out Of this business.
The bona fide dealers in the tickets be-
forehand took extra precaution to pre-
vent scalper from forging their stamps
and papers in attempting to validate the
coupons, and they have offered $500 re-
ward for any one caught or found making
such fraudulent use of these things. Both
the, Eastern and Western passenger as
sociations have made such an offer, and
they will prosecute any offender to. the
extent Of the law who is apprehended for
this deed.
The reports come from Chicago, how
ever, that the sca!pers viii exhaust their
resources in Their attempt to evade the
law and save themselves from ultimate
financial injury in the transactions that
have already melted them such vast re-
turns.

man in Canadian politics is j. Israel

ten years ago he was a lie Ading member
of the Conservative party, but as the
result of a serious family quarrel he
Joined the Liberals and became almost
Immediately Sir Wilfrid Lauriers first
lieutenant. This caused much heart
burning among the old Liberals, but Sir
Wilfrid's choice was justified, for the
phenomenal overturn in this province at
the last general election was due in
great measure to Mr. Tarte's abilities as
an organizer and platform speaker. He
has lost caste to some extent lately owing
to the needlessly irritating way in which
he has f1outed the anti-French prejudices
in the other provinces, and there is some
talk of retiring him before the next cleo.

Foreign Market for Coal.

Coal is destined to he the monarch
of the world, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer, and the power behind this
universal throne will be the United
States of America. Cotton, coal and
steel have each had their turn in the
world of commerce. and now they
must take a back seat for the dusty
diamonds. Old England Is just awak-
ening to the fact that ii has been her
vast deposits of excellent bituminous
coal that have been the basis of her
great industrial development, on which
is founded her vast commerce and
worldwide trade. The failing supply
of this necessary fuel is almost caus-
ing n panic among the investors in
Great Britain.
Commenting upon the apprehension
felt abroad, an Englishman writing
to a broker in this city recently, said
that so great is the fear that the
railroads will be compelled to pay ex-
orbtant prices for fuel that the market
value Of a substantial railroad stock
hos fallen $50, from e1S5 to G134 Not
only in England, but many places
upon the European continent are seek
ing coal from the mines of the United
garded as idle rumors, but they are
beginning to take definite shape as
orders are being placed.
Frank II. Mason, the United States
consul general at Berlin, has sized up
the situation in his reports, and as
he sees it the greatest need of the
American coal operators is transporta-
tion facilities. There is no trouble
about getting the coal from the mines
to the coast, as there are plenty OF
railroads for the purpose which are
well equipped with cars, docks and
piers. But the foreign buyer does not
desire to purchase coal on the docks
in America: he wants to have the coal
on board ship in a harbor of his owr
country. Then he is certain, first, that
the coal is obtainable, and he knows
its exact cost, for he is familiar with
the cost of transportation from the
harbor to interior points.
Aside from the demand for bitumin.
Gus coal, there is a possibility fol-
great shipments of anthracite coal
and an expert representative of the
anthracite operators yesterday SAILED
for Europe to investigate the new con
ditions. There is a prospect, there
fore, of the anthracite companie,
working their mines full time, instead
of two-thirds or three quarters time
as is often the case. This woulC
mean a great increase In earnings.

mated in the dispatch from Chefoo, is
open to doubt; as 1t is decidedly prob
lematical, 1t is said, whether the in
vitation would be accepted even II 1t
were rendered. The United states
forces are in China protecting the per-
sonal and property rights of citi-
zens of this country, and, in addition,
the treaty rights of the United States.
Under the most favored nation
clause, this country has certain spe-
citic rights in China, and. 1t is said
on their authority, to be the purpose
of the United states to protect and
preserve those rights. The attitude
this government would assume in the
event of a declaration of war by an
other power would depend, 1t can be
stated upon the immediate circum-
stances surrounding the declaration
and the situation in China at the time
the declaration was made.
In any event it can be said to be

States to sacrifice any of it's guaran-
teed rights or privileges in the Chi
