INVESTIGATION IN
SCARCITY OF COAL
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF ILLINOIS
LOOKING INTO PRIcES-WlLL
ASCERTAIN If CONSPIRACY Ex-
ISTS.

Chicago, December 3O.-1'wo investiga-
tions into the scarcity and high price Of
coal in Chicago were legun today At
the Palmer house Attorney General
Hamblin held a conference behind closed
doors with representatives of coal hauling
roads, and at the city hall the council
committee on railroads held public ses-
sion. hearing statements from men who
direct the movement Of coal on the rail-
roads entering the city Neither inquiry
resulted in action by the public officials
and both will be continued tomorrow.
Attorney General Hamblin's investiga-
tion may continue until Saturday, and 1t
is aimed at discovering whether there is
or has been any unlawful conspiracy to
restrain trade In coal or to force up
prices.
Mr. Hamblin announced tonight that he
had made rapid progress, and that the
greater part of the blame rests with the
dealers and the railroads. He stated that
dealers would be prosecuted If 1t was dis
covered they were holding coal to in
crease the price.
Before the railroad committee of the
city council the fact was brought out
that local dealers are holding vast guam
tites of coal merely to keep up the price.
The plan is to have loaded cars recon-
signed

PREFzRRep WOMAN TO ARMY.
Since appointment Lieutenant Marries
and May Lose His Commission.

Washington, December 30.-An interest
ing question has arisen at the war de-
partment. In the case of Emil Huebescher
of the Porto RICO regiment Recently
while on q visit to this country Lieut. en-
ant Huebescher applied for permission to
take the required examination for ap-
pointment as second lieutenant in the
regular army. His application was grant
ed and he was ordered to report to an
examination board at San Juan. Between
the date Of his application and his ap-
pearance for examination he married
The facs was reported to the examining
board ard the question arose as to the
eligibility of the Porto Rican lieutenant
to appointment In view Of the strict reg
ulatfons against the appointment of mar
ried men. The law officers of the war de-
partment are now considering whether
his appointment to the regular army
might not be legally considered simple
transfer from one branch of the army to
another, in which event the question of
marriage would cut no figure.

REBELS LOSE A TRAIN.
Government Forces In Venezuela Have
Re captured Barquisemeto.

Caracas. December 29.-Barquisimeto,
capital Of the state of Lara, which for
some time past has been In the possess
sion of the Venezuelan revolutionists, has
been recaptured by government forces
The towns of San Carlos and Tinaquillo
have also been re-occupied by the gov
ernment.
The revolutionists at Barquisemeto were
under the command of Generals Salongi
and Penaloza. They evacuated the town
after losing 112 men killed and 1926 wound
ed. There was hard fighting in the streets
and suburbs of Barquisimeto for two
days. The government forces were COM
manded by General Ceferino Castillo.
1t now transpires that President Cas-
tros recent visit to La Vika was not one
of a social nature, as reported here, but
for the purpose of conducting personally
by telegraph the operations of his forces
at Barquisimeto. His victory appears to
be a direct result of his initiative. 1t has
been a most severe blow Tor the revolu-
tionists

PANAMA CANAL COMPANY MEETS
Sanguine Hope Expressed That All
Troubles VIII Soon End.

Paris, December 30.-The annual meet
ing of the Panama Canal company was
held here this afternoon. The attendance
was smaller than usual and the proceed
ings were more orderly than last year.
The time was mostly taken up by the
reading of the report of the directors
of the company in which were detailed
the pending negotiations with the United
States looking to the sale of the canal
The facts set forth in this report are
already known.
The sanguine hope was expressed that
all difficulties would be overcome and
the sale soon completed. The reading of
the report was followed by brief dis
cussion, in the course of which two OF
three of the stockholders made the GUS
tomary protests against the sale, and
asked what would happen if the negotia-
tions with the United States fell through.
President Bo replied that in this event
the stockholders would again be consult
ed, while, If the sale took place. they
would have to meet to vote ratification.
The directors report was approved, the
outgoing officers of the company were
reelected and the meeting then ad-
journed.

TO CONTINUE COAL PRICES.
Sales Agents Get Together and Decide
to Make No Change Now.

Philadelphia, December 3o.-The sales
agents of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany and Anthracite Coal company met
today and decided to continue the pres
ent circular prices during the month OF
January. The sales agents also declined
to renew any of the expiring contracts
with large consumers of anthracite which
action will compel all the low prices
that have been put into force by the
companies of the United States Steel cor
poration and to take steps to meet the
competition in the trade.
The officials of the association after
adjournment declined to speak of the ac-
ton taken. 1t was explained, however,
that prices made by the United States
Steel corporation would be met.
The lower prices that will be adopted
by the independents include cut of 5
per cent ton on sheets and a cut of
from to $50 box on tin

ship ought to be the best one obtainable.
During the campaign the President an
nounced at one of his stump speeches
that reciprocity treaty with Cuba would
be ratified just as sure as fate. 1t is be-
coming evident, however, that something
in the nature of combination has been
formed among the senators who are
against the Cuban, French and New
Foundland reciprocities by which no one
of them is to be ratified. Any one of the
three treaties could probably secure the
necessary two-third votes, but union
of forces by opponents of the three would
seal the fate of the French and New
Foundland treaties and make the fate
of the Cuban treaty very doubtful. The
beet sugar trust taken in connection with
the unwillingness of republican senators
to pass any legislation reducing tariff
rates is responsible for the gloomy out
look.

CHARGES AGAINST U. S. CONSUL.
Mr.. Goodenow, Stationed at Shanghai,
Says They Were Untrue.

| Washington December S0.-John Goode-
how, United States consul general at
Shanghai, has been made the object OF
formal attack by the American associa-
tion at Shanghai and the charges Will
be investigated by the state department.
The principal charge is in connection
with the transfer of the American flag
to a Chinese vessel. Again it is charged
that he refused to perform his duty in
ordering a court of inquiry to examine
INTO the facts connected with the wreck
OF this ship.
Mr. Goodenow has put in a vigorous
defense asserting that the first charge.
based principally on the affidavit of a
Chinaman, is untrue. To the second
charge he replies that he was not ap-
preached by an authorized person to or
der the court. 1t is expected that when
the state department comes to take up
this case, the questions at issue being
mainly of fact it will refer the matter
to the United States legation at Pekin
for examination and report.

IAT AsHINGToN. December 3d. 30
wv (Specia1.)-It is said to be like
ly that Representative Rich
ardson of Tennessee, the minority house
leader, will not seek the same thankless
position in the next congress, but will
give way in favor of some other democrat
who can be united upon. John S. Will
liams of Mississippi, Champ Clark of
Missouri, DeArmond of Missouri, and
Underwood of Alabama are the four
names most frequently mentioned in con-
nection with the place.
Should Mr.. Richardson retire, Mr.. Will
liams would seem to be the strongest
candidate, as his friends started can
vass with tie beginning of the session.
He is a strong man in debate, and while
not as coed a parliamentarien as either
Richardson or Underwood, he would
doubtless creditably conduct himself on
the floor. In the next congress the dem
ocrats will be ably led in the senate by

of the union. has just been received. Mr..

Word to hand indicates that the sultan
is returning to Fez from Mequinez instead
of going to Rabst.

serious reverse for the government,
and estimates of the loss are very high,
some putting it as 800 on the army side;
probably one-balf to two-thirds of that
number
