FRIENDLY WORDS
 TOWARDS SPAIN
President Receives Senor 0jeda
 the Spanish Minister
TWO HAPPY ADDRESSES
Both Countries Glad to See the Re newal of Friendly Feeling Between the Nations, and Representatives
 Express Hope of Continuance.

Washington, October 23.-Senor Don Emilieo DeOjeda the recently appointed minister of Spain to the United States, formerly presented his credentials to President Roosevelt today.
 Accompanied by the first secretary of the Spanish legation, Minister DeOjeda was received at the White House by Sec retary of State John Hay, who conducted him directly to the President. After the exchange of felicitous addresses, the President and Senor Deojeda ehatted pleasantly for a few minutes. Minister Ojeda's address in part was as follows:
 "The friendly relations which have of old time existed between Spain and the United States having been renewed upon a footing ot/constantly increasing cor- diality, it is at this time the principal object of the government of his majesty to cultivate by all means within it's reach those movements of trade and commerce between the two countries, who at the same time that they contribute to the increasing development of their material prosperity, create the mutula solidity of interests and the intimate contact be-
 
 the future the hrmest and the most dur able foundation of the amicable relations between the two peoples"
 President Roosevelt's reply was as fol- lows:
 MT. Minister; Recalling the warm friendship which, from the earliest days of our national life existed between the United States and Spain, 1t gives me sincere qualification to welcome you as the envoy of his majesty, the King of Spain, and to accept the royal letter you bear, accrediting you in that capacity. The assurance heretofore given by your distinguished predecessor and re-affirm- ed by you, that the principal aim of his matestys government Is to strengthen the good feeling now happily renewed and becoming more marked with the pas sage of time and to contribute to that end by developing in all ways within it's power those movements of traffic and ter-communication which tend not alone to mutual benefit but to the closer relations and the more 1atimate associa- ton of the two countries, find an earn est, response on our part. Satisfying alike the purposes of this government and the wishes of the people of the United States l offer you cordial cooperation in all that may tend to realize our common desire for lasting amity and increasing ly advantageous intercourse between this republic and the Castilian nation. T trust, MT. Minister, that, like your predecessor, you will win regard among us and receive in your own person, con- stant evidences of the sentiments of friendliness that our people feel toward your people,"

READING COMPANY
 PROTECTS PUBLIC Instructions Issued About Retail Price of Anthracite Coal TO BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED On Account of Injury to Mines the Cost of Production Will Be Greater
 for While, But s6.75 Is
 Falr Retail Price.
TO BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

Philadelphia. october 2s.-1n view of the resumption of mining of anthracite coal the Philadelphia and Reading Rail- road company tonight issued the follow ing statement:
 "C. E. Henderson, General Manager:
 Dear Sir--The reports of the superin- tendents in charge of the mlne show, that as a result of the strike, the mines and mining plants have sustained consid- erable injury and their respective work ing organizations have been impaired. For some time to come, the collieries cannot be worked to produce their aver age quantity of coal. This will increase the cost of productions. Estimates have been submitted showing the probable in- crease in cost per ton at the several groups of colleries. The general aver age exceeds 50 cents per ton.
 You will, therefore add to the circu- lar price fifty cents per ton-this addi- tional price to continue until the first of January. 19O3 by which time we hope to reach a normal condition of mining and production.
 notwithstanding the ract that uurlnB the strike no coal was sold by our com pany at an advance over the circular price, the price has been unreasonably advanced to the public by some retail dealers. In the distribution 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 will promptly take steps to supply the reasonable de- mands of the public directly. Yours truly,
 GEORGE F. BAER, Pres"
 An effort will be made to arrange the distribution of coal so that parties in need may at least receive a small DOT tion of their wants. and with this pur- pose in view, dealers will be required to restrict the amount which will for the present. be sold to any consumer within the limits of his reasonable immediate requirements
 The opinion is expressed by MT. Hender- son that the prices for white ash, egg, stove and chestnut coal delivered to householders in the city of Philadelphia, should not in any case exceed s6.75.
 Many of the dealers have already ex- pressed willingness to conpfy with the wishes of the Reading company in this respect.
