fast and furious. Atchson. st. Paul,
Missouri Pacific and other favorite
shares had been rolling up accretions
of paper value.
Suddenly there was n drop. The
break began with Union Pacific. For
little while 1t looked as If the bottom
had dropped out OF the market and the
grip OF the money powers that rule was
lost
with one sharp. sudden swoop prices
fell from two TO ten points. Small op-

FEEDING HUNGRY CROWDS AT
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

Martial law is being rigidly enforced
and the town is quiet tonight, although
much anxiety prevails because of the
threats said to have been made by the
negroes that they would obtain provi.
sions by force at their first oportunity.
In the western portion of the city
the debris is still burning, but no fur
ther outbreak of the flames Is antici-
pated.
President Mckinley sent the follow
ing telegram from Ell Paso:
Il have just learned of the calam-
itous fire that has swept over the city
of Jacksonville, and hasten to express
the deep sympathy, in common with
our country. feel for those who have
suffered. The government will do all
it can in the work of relief"
Mayor Bowden has telegraphed ap-
peals for aid to the larger cities, say
ing:
"One hundred and thirty-six blocks,
covering the best residential and busi-
ness portion of this city, are burned,
and about 10000 people are homeless
and thousands destitute. Our people
are responding literally, but the de-
mands for help are beyond our ability
to meet"
Secretary Leidy of the local union
No. 162 of the International Typo
graphical Union has issued an appeal
to the union for aid, as more than half
the membership of fifty-five are made
homeless and most of the others are
out of work.
Grand Master James Campbell of the
Masonic Grand Lodge of Florida has
issued an appeal to the Masonic fra
ternity of the United States.
The majority of the property owners
who suffered losses have announced
, their intention of rebuilding as soon as
the debris can be removed.
The city is rapidly recovering from
the shock and excitement following the
fire and work actually begins to-mor-
row on several sites in the fire-demon's s
| path.

Raisine the Price of Anthracite.

According to a New York dispatch 1t
is the intention of the men who con-
troll the anthracite coal mines to trans
fer S50,000 900 to their pockets from
those of the consumers of hard coal
by raising its price 81 a ton. There is
no difficulty about putting up the price
but it does not follow that the mine
owners will get S50,000,000 more for
their total output than would be taken
in under the lower price. Some indis-
Greet railroad managers boasted once
that their rule for fixing freight rates
was to make them as high as the traf-
fic would bear. They were determined
to pluck the shippers. but they were
smart enough to know that there was
point above which rates must not
be raised under the pealty of decreased
earnings. The anthracite men are
quite aware of the fact that there is
point beyond which they cannot go
without cutting down their gross re-
ceipts. for there is at hand substitute
for their product in the form of btu
minous coal. Then there is the spec-
ter of public ownership of all mines
and all railroads. If the monopolists
would feed long they must feed mod
erately.
