COAL BOSTON $15 4 TON.
A Jump of S2 50 Since osaturday-Wood
 Becoming Scarce.

Boston, Sept. 22.-Anthracite coal was quoted at $15 ton to-day, an increase of $2.50 over Saturdays price.

Among the suburban dealers one hundred pounds of stove coal is about the limit of sales to other than book customers.
 The entire hard-coal supply here is estimated at 500O tons. The increase of $2 per ton for soft coal to-day is said to be due to manipulation. Wood is be- coming scarce, $13.20 per cord being the selling price for unsawn hard wood and S8. 8.80 for ordinary unsawn slab wood.

CALLED HARRISON A LIAR
STANDARDIZATION WAR YET
 ERANs IN SERIOUS ROY.
Fued Between Adjutant General LiiIer and Colonel Russell E. Harrison Reaches a Climax in the Indianapolis CoDventton-LtlIe Accused by Hnrrt- son of Falsifytng the Records.

Indianapolis, Sept. 22.-The differ ences that have existed between high officers of the Spanish-American war veterans eliminated at the second ses- sion of the encampment this afternoon in @ sensational incident.
 During the course of discussion on the validity of certains records of the last encampment Adjutant General Liller, who was removed from office Sunday night, gave Colonel Russell s. Harrison, son of ex-President Harrison, the lie direct The latter made dash for the deposed official, but was hsld by two of his comrades. Liller read the minutes os the Buffalo meeting. All through the record Colonel Harrison was referred to as "Mr." Harrison. This angered the majority of the dele gates, as the bylaws of the order ex- pressly state that all members of the body shall be referred to as Com rades."
 The encampment by this time was much excited. Above the noise dele gate moved that the minutes of the last encampment be so amended so as to eliminate the word MT" before Col onel Harrison's name and that the word "Comrade'' be substituted. This motion was carried by exclamation.
 At the last encampment Colonel Har- rison was appointed chairman of the auditing committee to go over the ac- counts of Adjutant General Liller, and after the latter had finished reading them he arose and said that the min- utes of the last meeting had been so changed that he was unable as chair man of the committee to proceed under the resolution.
 sLiller arose and exclaimed: Do you mean to say that I falsified the rec- ord?''
 Colonel Harrison: T mean just that and nothing more"
 You are a liar," exclaimed Liller
 Colonel Harrison jumped from his seat and made dash toward the de- posed adjutant general. He had not gone ten feet before he was grabbed.
 moment after Charles F. Madden of this city arose and addressed Colonel Harrison's accuser. exclaiming, "I'll smash your head"
 After the committee on credentials had reported Colonel Harrison said: Tt is with much timidity that I enter into statement in regard to the work of Mir Liller at the convention at Buffalo. I was chairman of the committee to audit accounts of the adjutant general. The reports of the adjutant general were in such an equivocal condition that I was unable to do much with thenl--in fact, their form made it necessary that they should be examined by other con- mittees."
 Acting Assistant Adjutant General Frank $. Clark read an order directing Liller to appear before the counci, of administration, which in army parlance is known as court martial, to answer to certain serious charges that have been preferred against him.
 Liller arose in his seat and briefly de- clined to appear before the council. He said that the matter had been given such prominence that he had been placed in a bad light before the country and in consequence had decided to set tie the matter in the courts.

CUBA TO MAKE A DEMAND
WISHES LAST VESTIGE EOFAMERI- CANAUTHORITY REMOVED.
President Palma Notifies Minister squIers That He Desires All U. S. Troops in the Island Withdrawn The Question a Military One-Eight Companies of Coast Artillery All That Remain.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The govern ment of the United States is to be re- quested to terminate the last vestige of it's authority in Cuba. The war depart ment has been advised formally by the department of state that President Es- trada Palma has notified Minister Squiers that he desires the American troops remaining in Cuba to be with drawn.
 The state department does not under take to pass on this request, but trans mits it to Secretary Root, holding that the problem presented is purely mill itary one involving the, competency of the new Cuban government to take over and care for the coast de- fences now in American hands and thus make sure that the coun- try is not exposed, without any mili- tary protection, to a possible foreign enemy. It is for Secretary Root he is expected to base his conclusion upon the opinion of United States mili- tary officers remaining in Cuba, though, of course, Minister Squiers' opinion would be of weight.
 Secretary Root, while he has not come to any conclusion, has indicated that the troops might be withdrawn. It Is a matter that could not be hastily decided, and it may be discussed with President Roosevelt while the secretary is in the west. At present there are eight companies of coast artillery in Cuba.

His Dignity and Hat

A gale was bowling across the
square when a large, portly man came
around the corner. He was erect and
his rotund figure had a military poise,

Suddenly a wild gust seized his

fell with a despairing splash.
Shorn of all his dignity, the unhappy
man slowly rose, looked around to
see If he was observed, then carefully
examined his injured raiment. From
collar to waist his frock coat had
split. Twenty yards ahead, peacefully
reposing by the curbstone, lay the i'm
nocent cause of all his misfortunes.
With an air of grim determination
he strobe toward It. The hat remained
coyly resting on the edge Of a puddle.
The portly person gazed down at the
water-logged, undiscovered tile, and
then at his own ruined raiment.
Just then, as If inspired by a de-
mon of mischief, the hat began to
sway with a passing gust. This was
too much. Gathering himself to-
gether, the fat man made a mighty
leap and landed both feet squarely
on the hat. He peered anxiously
around to see If he was observed, and
then, turning up his coat collar, strobe
away, leaving the fragments of what
had once been a silk hat reposing in
the gutter.-The Scotsman.
