THE PRICE OF COAL.
A Pertinent Letter on the Subject
by a Posted Citizen.
Washington, August II, 1901.
ED Ton SUNDAY GLOBE.

Washington, August II, 1901.
ED ToR SUNDAY GLOBE:
DEAN SIR: Your editorial on the
price Of coal is most apropos II Is
passing strange that the people Of this
city, with the power I'm their own
hands will allow themselves to be bled
in the price of COAL other cities are
not so afflicted. Mr.. Morgan does not
have anything to do in fixing the price
Of coal used in this city. He can, and
does, through his men, fix the whole
sale price. regulate the output at the
mines, and name a schedule Of wages
for the miners, and also determine
what the rate Of freight shall be. Di-
reCtly he has nothing to do with the
price you and pay for coal
The citizens Of Washington are in
the hands Of a worse set of men than
Mr.. Morgan / am reliably informed
that the price Of coal on cars varies
from $4.85 to 5.35 per ton, according
to the size. The selling price Of the
former is $3.50 per ton, and Of the lat.
ter S6.75. Now, Mr. Editor, here is a
profit OF about $3.50 per ton on each
and every ton Of coal used in this city.
IL seems to matter not to the coal
barons whether the purchaser be the
banker or the laboring man, each and
all must be bled to the tune Of S15O
per cart load. A cart will make five
or six and even more loads per day,
and the profit obtained can be easily
reckoned. Surely the percentage Is
enormous.
I believe the price Of furnace coal at
the PostOffice Department Is about
$3.50 per ton. Why should the people
Of the city pay more? The prices for
other Departments are below S5 per
ton, yet ! am asked $3.50 per ton. Do
these coal people fear to ask the Gov.
ernment too much?
Now, there Is another thing. The
price Of coal was reduced in April so
cents per ton, yet the coal dealers Of
this city did not reduce their prices
/ am paying the same price now as last
winter, yet it costs the dealer consid-
erable less In the language OF Cicero
we ought to ask: How long o Cata-
line, wilt thou abuse our patience"
and before the question is answered,
II there be no law 10 reach such com.
binations in trade, go forthwith and
organize a mutual coal company.

CORRECTING THE PROOFS.
Version Of Admiral Sampson's Con.
nection with Macieay.

New York, Oct. 7.-Colonel Robert
M. Thompson of this city, president
of the United States Academy Alum
nj association, makes the following
statement to the Associated Press
in connection with the Schley in
quiry:
after Macleay's book was pub
lished Macleay stated that the proofs
had been submitted to the command
ing officers, including Admiral Samp-
son, and that they approved his state
ments A reporter calling upon Ad-
miral Sampson when he was i'll in
his bed obtained from the admiral
what appears to be a confirmation of
this statement. The admiral was
asked if he had seen and read the
proofs of Macleay's book and he said
Yes But unfortunately he was too
i'll to go into the matter at any length
and explain everything, and SO the
public was so informed and today be-
lieves Admiral Sampson entirely ap-
proved the statement that Schley
was coward and a caitiff, which
was the gist of Macleay's charges
against Schley.
Il am in position to state the
facts, and you may absolutely rely
upon them as the truth. The proofs
We're sent by Mr.. Macleay to Admiral
Sampson with the request that they
should be read and corrected. The
admiral at that time was not in good
health, and did not wish to under
take the labor, but his secretary
pointed out that the Macleay story
was a standard one and used at the
naval academy as text book. This
volume brought the history down
through the period of the Spanish
war and it was desirable that there
should be no inaccuracies in it.
THE admiral therefore consented
TO correct them and he did correct
a certain part of them, but as soon
as he arrived at the part which con-
tanned the statement that Schley was
a coward he was very angry ana
said the statement was one the au-
thor had no right to make; that it
was unjust and unfair to speak of
any naval officer in such terms, and
declined to have anything further
| TO do with the proofs.
His secretary, impressed with the
great desirability of having the state
menus VI luS ldCI accurate dlu Uc-
lieving that he was responsible for
the statements of opinions, did, on
| his own account, compare the books
| with the records and make on the
margins a number Of corrections
AS these were in the same handwrit.
| ing as those made when Admiral
Sampson was giving his personal at
tention to the question, Mr.. Macleay
was perfectly justified in his state.
ment The order of the secretary
of the navy forbidiing naval officers
to make any statement for publica
tion regarding this controversy is
sued Immediately after this inter
view, prevented the above correction
being officially made"

Edward Lauterbach, who appeared

Seattle, Wash, Oct. IA new Edo
RADIO is reported near the shores OF
Good Hope bay. the most southern
extension of Otzebue sound and is
the northern boundary of Sumner
peninsula.
The center of attraction is Candle
creek, a tributary of the Kewauik
river. This. location is almost di-
rectly north Of Nome and to go there
from the latter place necessitates a
voyage of 800 miles around the coast
of Behring straits and through into
the Arctic ocean. There has been a
regularly formed mining district
there with a United States commits
sioner since the early spring. 1t is
known as the Fairhaven district
and is established there to provide
the necessary government for all
that territory touching upon the
shores of Good Hope bay.
Last fall a number of prospectors
came out from that country which
lies to the westward of the Kewaulik
river and reported finding fair pay
on a number of creeks. These creeks
have been worked during the pres
ent season and while nothing has
been found yet the result of the
years work will be gratifying.

cratic nominee for mayor of Greater
New York, today returned from Lake
George. A committee formally mott
fled him tonight of his nomination
and Mr. Shepard accepted.
Mr.. Shepard in accepting the nom
inaton said among other things:
Il promise you ana the democrat
ic party of this city and its entire
people if my nomination is ratified
at the polls that from the first of
January. 1902. until the end of 1903,

citizens. who shall at all times, by
day and by night, particularly en-
force the standard which his con
science and his view of power and re-
sponsibility sets up for police ad-
ministration.'
For himself, Mr. Shepard said he
believed that competition for the
mayoralty between Seth Low and
himself will not, on the whole, be
calamotous to any real interest OF
the American metropolis or its peo-
pie. Nevertheless, he thought it
clear that the best interest of the
city and of good government rcquir
ed Mr.. Lows defeat. If evils exist
they shall be reformed. In closing
he said: Il am a democrat through

kewaulik river flows into Good Hope
bay. Candle creek flows INTO the Ke-
waulik about II miles from the lat
ters mouth. Candle creek is about
20 miles long but has many tribu-
taries. Here is where the big strike
has been made.
H. Blankenship. one of the dis
covers, is in the city on his way home
to Tennessee. A bond was taken by
Captain William Armstrong on 16 of
Blankenship's claims, for the sum of
$160,O0O. The latest phase of the
deal removes the story entirely from
the realm of romance. Charles ID.
Lane, the multi-mill lliOnaire mining
man, who controls the largest mining
interests in Nome. has offered Cap
tain Armstrong a 100000 bonus for
his bond on the Blankenship proper
ty. This offer was made subject to
approval by Lane 10 days ago, when
he left Nome for the new diggings
in a special chartered ocean tug.
At that time the pioneer mining com
pany was paying out Anvil creek
gold literally for options on Candle
creek. The place is not difficult to
access. The northern commercial
company has taken the Sadie off the

Deposits More Valua bic Than

STUFF IS VERY RARE
All the Asphaltum Now Available Comes
From Trinidad In
Utah.

A letter received in the city yester-
day from the kintla lake, oil fields,
by Great Falls gentleman who has in
terests in that section, states that
much attention is now being given
to the deposits of asphaltum that
have been found in that vicinity. and
tests made have caused those inter
ested to beii4,e mat the asphaltum
beds made prove to be of far greater
value than the oil fields. 1t is not
SGT known how extensive are the de
posits of asphaltum, but the tests
have shown il is OF excellent quality,
and if it is in sufficient quantity, it
is certain that the owners have a
bonanza.
Practically all the asphaltum that
is used in the United States is pro
cured from a lake in Trinidad, con
trOlled by a monopoly. There are
heavy export duties and heavy roy,
atty upon tie Trinidad asphaltum,
and the cost of transportation is such
that il is impracticable to use it west
of St. Paul, and it's use elsewhere in
the country has been limited al.
though it is extremely desirable for
use as cement, in masonry con
struction for street paving, and, in
certain forms, for fuel, Illuminating
gas and varnish.
The only place in the United States
where it has been found in any con
siderable quantity is in Utah, on an
Indian reservation. The quality OF
the Utah alphastum is much inferior
TO that of the Trinidad product. but
it is of such great value that riva
dealers have for eight years main
tanned large lobbies at Washington
the right to remove limited quanlty
of the mineral from Tue reservation
each year. and several millions OF
dollars have been offered for The con
