AS the steamer pitched and rolled in

It's coming on again, worse than ever!"
Then he heard a sleepy voice in reply:
Marie, why don't you follow the (lirec-

Harry N. Pillsbury, the chess cham
pion, has made UP his mind to end his
professional career and study law, but
he gives himself two more years or
chess, in the course of which he will
no doubt play match with Emanuel
Lasker for the worlds championship
Pillsbury's career has been in many re-
spects like Paul Morphy's, and Morphy
likewise took to the law, but too late
to recover in its lighter labors the over
wrought tension of his mind. Until
Pillsbury he held the record for blind
fold chess, but nothing equal to twenty
games at once, without sight of boards
or men. Pillsbury is said to intend to
handle thirty games of chess in this
way before he retires.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

There is joy in republican camps to-
day the country over, and nowhere,
with the possible exception of New
York, is felt greater satisfaction at the
election returns than here in Wash
ington. The president said to a caller
yesterday: Il feel exuberant over the
returns. 1t was a matter of sincere
regret to me that could not vote in
New York yesterday, but they seem to
have gotten along all right without
me. OF course, Lows victory is not,
in the strictest sense, a party victory
but it is victory for the cause of good
government, and that is Synonymous
with republican government. 1t is Il
triumph of clean minded, right-tbink.

pied political methods and the moral
effect will operate to the advantage Of
the republican party the country over"
Speaking of the results as whole, he
said: "They give every evidence of
the peoples confidence in the admins
tration, which is naturally very graft
flying to me-"
The result in New York, while it was
expected that Mr.. Low would be elect
ed, is an even greater triumph than
was anticipated. In the words of Mr.
Low, is ii ''a splendid vindication Of
universal suffrage" The election of
the whole ticket Is gratifying, not only
because it places Mr. Low in posi-
tion where he will have about him
honest men upon whose assistance he
can rely in his efforts to remedy the
shocking state Of affairs which will
confront him when he assumes the re-
sponsibilities OF the mayoralty. The
election of William Travers Jerome to
the position Of district attorney is par
ticularly gratifying from this stand
point.
The Ohio election insures the return
of Senator Foraker for another term
and is gratifying expression of conf
dence in the party and in Senator Han
ma.
From Pennsylvania comes the news
that the regular republican organiza-
tion has met with its usual victory,
although the fusionists have somewhat
reduced the majorities. This means
the return to the senate of Matthew
Quay, which will prove source of
qualification to his many friends and
colleagues. New Jersey has given
substantial evidence of its approval of

MORGAN AND HANNA
IN SOFT COAL TRUST
Propose to Combine All Mines
OF the Country.
THEY HOLD CONFERENCE
HOW OUTPUT Is TO BE DIVIDED
AMONG RAILROADS.
THEY HOLD CONFERENCE

New York, July 9.-The Tribune says
of the report in Wall street that a
conference of large bituminous coal in
terests has Just been held in the Office
of J. P. Morgan & Co, that those par
ticipating were Mr.. Morgan, Senator
Hanna, A. J. Cassatt, president Of the
Pennsylvania railroad; 2. A. B. Wild
ener of Philadelphia, and Clement y
Griscom, president Of the International
Navigation company. The PennsyI-
vania and Vanderbilt systems with
their allied interests practically
control the transportation OF soft coal
1 from ohio points east to tide water. The
pre-eminence was secured il is under
stood, by an agreement entered into
soon after the powerful combination of
anthracite properties in the east was
effected. The knowledge of this con-
dition of affairs leads coal men to be-
lieye that President Cassatts visit
was directly concerned with the eStab-
fshment Of the community of interest
idea in the leading soft coal properties
of the country.
1t has been officially declared, how
ever. that no formal consolidation
of the bituminous coal interests win
be announced for several months. a
we'll informed operator gave his YER
sion of the situation as follows:
The consolidation will mature in
the course of time, but not for many
months. 1t will be effected by securing
control of the distribution or the pro-
duct and not by actual purchase Of the
properties. 1t is merely a question of
agreement between the coal carrying
roads.
The present idea is to give to each
road and to the companies controlled
by that road a portion of the trade
which they can best handle. Following
this new plan the Lehigh Valley road,
which runs to Buffalo, and which pos
sesses facilities for lake transportation,
was asked to send its product TO west
ern points. 1t did so and left the New
York market to the Pennsylvania-Van-
defbilt interests. 1t is only a question
of time when the entire coal trans
portation east of the Mississippi will
be amieably divided among the rail-
roads.
"The principal bone of contention at
present is the disposition of the out
put from the deposits in Indiana llli-
nois and Ohio. In those states bltunlin-
Gus coal hes near the surface, is very
plentiful and is of poorer quality than
the coal mined in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Maryland. The plan IS
now to divert this soft coal TO the
south and southwest The New York
market has been OverstOcked with this
poorer quality of coal and the trunk
/ lines east of those states are refusing
TO carry it here. Formerly the New
York Central locomotives burned TINS
coal almost entirely, but such Is not
the case now. Overproduction has
spoiled the soft coal business IN TINS
city and has resulted in the railroads
finding il difficult to obtain steadliy
I remIInera tive rates.

The postal arrangements are in every
way admirable. A post box is found
at almost every street corner. and no
where is 1t found necessary to walk
more than couple of minutes before
finding a. postoffice, and while the tel
egraph service is both efficient and
cheap, pneumatic post for the speedy
dispatch Of small letters has for manv
years proved a great boon 10 the in
habitants.
The welfare of the working classes is
promoted by a number of municipal in
situations. Under the care of the town
council an efficient system of labor bu-
reauS is maintained, and work-seekers
are allowed to register themselves
without fee, while during the severe
winter months manual employment is
offered to bona fide workinguaen who
are without means Of subsistence. Free
! night shelters are also Kept open for
the homeless at the public expense. The
