The Anthracite Coal Trade.

Tho anthracite trade is generally In
good shape for this season of the year.
The April output is officially estimated
at 3,6S5.013 TONS about 100000 tons more
than in April 1900. when, during the
last week of the month. there was Il
heavy movement for shipment up the
lakes. This year actual consumption
was much heavier, as the movement
of lake coal is just under way. The
total Tonnage for the first months of
this year is 1881. .T32 tons.
The ice blockade in the St. Clair
river is broken and vessels are making
their way into Lake Michigan. A con-
siderable fleet has loaded coal at Buff
falo and is on its way to upper lake
ports. There have been no arrivals at
Lake Superior points yet and trade in
hard coal in the northwest is very
light indeed. In Chicago territory bus
mess is quiet, with the market very
firm. Receipts by rail are falling off

Italian Laborers Here.

A large number of Italian workmen
in six box cars placed upon a switch
alongside the Lackaw wanna cinder
dump on Hickory street created much
excitement in South Scranton yester-
day morning. as the men were at first
supposed to be hands brought here
to take the places of the Lackawanna
strikers.
They were, however. laborers hired
by the Delaware and Hudson COM
pany for work near Honesdale and in
New York. They We're brought from
near Pittsburg and had refused to
leave when they heard the correct
wages. claiming to have been deceived
regarding them. \ satisfactory ad
iustment of the matter took place yes
terday morning and the train left with
the men, leaving behind about fifty
five of their number who continued
steadfast in their determination not TO
accept the proffered wages.

Of MI. Griiiiths. Bowen proceeded to
have the sheriff sell out Griilths and

GRAVES 70 BE- MARKED
BILL INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE
TO REQUIRE TONIBSTONEs IN
CERTAIN CASES
ADJOURNMENT UNTIL TODAY
1t Followed Close Upon the ASSEM-
bly, of Only a Few
More Than
Quorum.

Seventy-five of the 119 members of the
house responded to the roll call at the
brief session last night which began
at o'clock and ended twenty minu. es
later. The others had not returned from
their homes, where they had been during
the recess taken last Thursday Today
the legislature will get down to business
and before the end of the week active
operations will be we'll in hand. There
is large bulk of bills waiting to be
introduced, and already ninety-seven
have been submitted.
Though nearly forty years have elapsed
since the money became due John G..
DeVereuX, who was at one time drill
master and teacher in the military school
at Fort Smelling, has not yet collected
all his earnings for that work, and in
consequence a bill was introduced in the
house last night by Representative UNI
land, of Ramsey In which the state is
asked to appropriate $3.50 which Mr.. Dew
ereuX claims as the balance due him
for his services out at the fort TIE
period for which this money is aimed
TO be due was that between July and Oc-
toher, 1861.
FINE FOR MONUMENT MEN.
Another bill came from the Ramsey
county delegation, and would empower a
probate judge to enforce the erection of
monuments over graves of those whose
estates are probated in his court. The
measure provides that the executor of
any estate shall, after settling all claims
against the estate, devote, through tie
power of the judge of probate, such
money as is necessary to the erection of

MIKE II A COMPROMISE
REAPPORTIONMENT QUESTION TO
BE SETTLED BY CONCESSIONS
FROM BOTH SIDES
BILLS LIKELY TO BE PASSED
Some of the More Important Meas
ures Up Before the Legislature
of the FIickertaiI
State.

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 28-(Special)
1t seems probable that the reapportion-
ment question will be settled by a COM
promise between the element that de-
mands large increase in the assembly
and those that would keep that body
down to it's present size. 1t is a pretty
safe prophecy that none of the present
legislative districts will lose any members,
although there may not be all the in
creases that are provided for in the
Sharpe bill.
With regard to the congressional ap-
portionment, there hasn't been much talk
except in desultory way. Some inqui-
rfes have been made as to what was de-
sired by different sections of the state
but the general impression is that there
will be trouble enough in the legislative
apporuonmenr without stirring up the
other question until the first one is Set
tied
Bills that have been passed in one or
the other of the two houses and that
will probably become laws are those max
ing hospital claims preferred in the mat
ter of exemptions, putting them on the
same footing as bills of physicians, and
establishing only absolute exemptions
against them; giving the state board Of
trustees of the penitentiary a little great
er latitude in the making of price for
Irvine; providing that banks that seek to
pecOHe repositories Tor county funds may
give surety company bond, instead Of
a fidelity bond; establishing a uniform
system of teachers examinations, and
providing that papers for all examina-
tons shall be prepared by the state de-
partment of public instruction, which
shall examine and pass upon alI'examina-
uon papers. The only opposition to this
bill came from counties where there was
large foreign population, and it was
thought its passage might have the
effect of shutting out many of the pres
ent teachers. The bill giving the state
auditor authority to issue emergency war
rants, in case of a shortage of funds,
has passed the senate, and If it passes
the house will enable the governor, au-
dltor and treasurer to issue warrants
to pay current expenses of the state in
anticipation of the payment of revenues.
The bill for the readjustment of the
salaries of county auditors of the state
has been introduced. 1t gives the audi
tors of the middle counties a little better
salary, and the auditors feel that 1t Is
Just and should pass. They do not be-
Ileve there should be opposition from
