ADVANCE IN COAL PRICES.
To Pay Increased Cost of Produc-
fion---RstaiI Bleeders of Pub
Tic TO Be Cut Off.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-In view
of the resumption of mining of
anthracite coal the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company tonight IS
sued the following directed to G. E.
Henderson, general manager:
Dear Sir:-The reports of the super
intendents in charge of the mines show
that, as a result Of the strike, the
mines and mining plants have sustain
ed considerable injury and their re-
spective working organizations
have been impaired. For some time
to come the collieries cannot be work
sed to produce their average quantity of
coal This Will increase the cost of
production. Estimates have been sub
mitted showing the probable increase
in cost per ton at the several groups of
scolleries. The general average ex-
ceeds so cents per ton.
You will, therefore, add to the popu-
lar price 80 cents per ton, this addi-
tional price to continue until the 1st
Of January. by which time we hope
to reach normal condition Of mining
and production.
Notwithstanding the TACT that dur
ing the strike no coal was sold by our
company at an advance over the eircu-
lar price the price has been unreason-
ably advanced to the public by some
retail dealers. In the distri button
Of the coal, therefore, you will, SO far
as practicable, supply the dealers who
are willing to sell coal to the public
at reasonable prices. Where dealers
seek TO obtain an unfair profit from
the public, you viii promptly take
steps to supply the reasonable demands
OF the public directly.
Yours truly,
Geo. F. Baer,
President.
In pursuance of these Instructions
circulars have been issued fixing the
price Of coal at the mines and at tide
wafer. Dealers will be required to
restrict the amount sold to any
consumer to the limits of his reason
able Immediate requirements.
The opinion is expressed by ME-.
Henderson that the aaprice for white
ash, egg, stove and chestnut coal de-
livered to householders in the city
of Philadelphia should not in any
case exceed So. Is.
The prices delivered on hoard vessels
at New York for egg, stove and chest
nut coal are:
Free white ash IS, hard white ash
SIS, Shamokin $685. Schuykil, red
ash s5.5 50, Lorberry $3.50, Lykens val

 Than That of England.

Washington, Apr. 13.-Tha United States enjoys more of Canadian custom than the rest Of the world put together. Attention is directed to this fact in that portion of Commercial relations in 1S01," now in press, which deals with the United States trade with Canada, an extract of which was given out of publication by EIr. Emery, chief of the bureau O. foreign commerce, today.
 It is pointed out that SO closely allied are trade conditions in this country and Canada that prosperity or depression in the United States immediately finds echo in the trade Of cur northern neigh bCr. Tn 1SU Great Britain lost to us her lead in the matter o1 goods sent into the Dominion, and from that year forward, with but a slight interval, this country has steadily heightened the gap.

SENATE PROGRAMME.

Washington. April 13.-In accordance with the agreement reached on Fri day last. the senate OF Wednesday will vote on the Chinese exclusion bill, and the present understanding is that the Philippines government bill will be taken up Immediately afterwards.
 It is probable. however. that the Phil ippines bill will be soon broken in on by the calling up of the rivers and harbors bill. Being an appropriation bill it is q privileged measure and can be taken up at any time. but it is not the desire of the committee to have it considered until therc shall nave been a chance afforded to make further amendments in the committee. That opportunity will Tot be provided until Thursday. following the vote On the Chinese bill.
 The cproHent5 of the Chinese pill will press their fight from this time Cor ward, and if they find that they can- net secure it's recommittal they will! concentrate their efforts on proposed aucudmente Especial effort will be made to secure the adoption Of the ?latt substitute. There gill be q mum her Cf short speeches on the bill Mon day and Tuesday and ia addition to these Senators Foraker and McLaurin Of South Carolina have giten notice of set speeches for Monday.

WESTERN ROADS
 MAKE TROUBLE
Passenger Associations Rasant
 invasion Of Territory
Ticket Orders Placed in the Hands Of General and Travelling Agents, Although Requests to Do So Had Been Refused.

New York, April 13-Trouble has arisen between the western lines and the Trunk Line, New Eagllud and owing to the action of the first named in placing their own ticket orders in the hands of their general and travel ins agents in the territories of the three associations.
 This action was taken after the re- quest of the western roads for complete representa- ton in through tickets at the cheap colonist rates to the Pacific coast had been refused. It has stirred up . feeling of antasonism that will call for replisais at the first convenient oppor- tunity. though the annoyance may not last longer than the time appointed for the c0iCaist rates to be operative. It expires with the current month, but that period iS long enough to bring on other complications if the eastern and southeastern lines should decide to re- taliate. Protests have been made to the offending roads, but these do not appear to have received any serious attention. There IS also danger that in the face Of unsettled association .condi- tions in the west one CT more lines may decide to 6eeD their orders in the terri tories mentioned for a longer time than this month. Such c course would be a greater aggravatiou than that which is now being endured.
 It is understood that some Of the southern roads withheld their consent to the representation asked for, be- cause they did not intend to give aid to any movement calculated to take away farmers, laborers and others from their section. In addition to this the basis of divisions on the rates as pro posed by the western roads was not satisfactory. This latter is what in huenced the eastern lines in their po- sition.

They listened respectfully. He pleaded with them to be good men. to lead honest lives and 90 to church. They thanked him politely ard said at present they needed the money and must have it. Then they robbed him. but with the ut most courtesy, took his word about the amount e. money he had, would not s'arch him, and thanEed him.
 Hudson is a prosperous little town near here. and the postcmce is in the general store Of J. NJ. Stark, on the main street. Stark is also the postmas- ter.
 Father Stanislaus Spotanski, of St Joseph's Catholic church. at Hudson had been called out at midnight to vis- it Anthony Bonisl6y. a sick man, and was returning home between and 5 o'clccl. As he approached the post office two men stepped out and thrus: revolvors in his face.
 They marched him up the wooden porch in front of the postoffica, where the shadow was deep. Two windows had been cut out. Two men appeared at them. were assured it was all right and went back to work Inside he could hear the men work ing They were filling the crevices about the safe door with nitro-glycer- inc and cerlenting it with soft soap. one of the latest processes of safe blowing, said the United States inspec- tors this morning.
 The priest urged them to give up the effort and go away.
 The talk continued the entire half hour the priest was a prisoner.
 There was q untitled report. and in q few minutes the burglars emerged with their pockets laden.
 Then they robbed the priest of $5. thanked him, wished him good night and walked rapidly down the road.
 Father Spotanski hurried 10 his house and. as he had promised. informed the police, but by the time they reached the scene all trace of the burglars was lost.
 They got from the safe $l97 in stamps. SIS in silver and bills and g in pennies. Nothing in the store was taken.
