CONSULAR SERVICE INADEQUATE
William sooy Smith Tells Of Our Lack
in China.

San Francisco, Sept. s0.-General
William Sooy Smith, the famous Chi
cago engineering expert, has returned
from Port Arthur on the steamer Tip
pom Haru. He has been acting as con-
sulting engineer for the fortifcations
at Port Arthur. but would not talk
OF his work there, as he said it was
q state secret. He said:
Il found the Russians very friendly
to the Americans. They regard us as
their friends and think there there is
no machinery like ours If this feeling
lis preserved by our actions toward
them there is no doubt a vast COM
merce will exist between this coast and
the other side. The same is true in
China and Japan. 1t met one Chinese
merchant who orders $4,000 barrels
of -four at a time and never a scratch
OF pen. His word is his bond and he
always pays. It will be well for us to
take care how we offend people like
tfat, whose mighty commerce is still
in Its infancy They are deeply hurt at
our policy of exclusion, which will
some day cost us dear. That may not
be q popular thing to say, but 1t is
true. German, English and Russian
merchants are straining every nerve to
obtain this trade. They have most
thoroughly equipped consular bureaus
and are spending enormous sums of
money in making most minute investi-
cations Of oriental commerce, while our
consular service Is simply pitiful. One

President and Cabinet and Gov

Coal Situation
ROOSEVELT GROWING ANXIOUS
He Is Very DESTROYS Of Having the
Strike Settled Without Further De-
Iay-secretsry Root confers With
New York Business Men-situation
Today in the Anthracite Region.

Washington, Sept. 3O.The coal
strike and situation resulting fronl
1t was the subject of a conference held
at the temporary white house today in
which the president, Attorney General
Knox, Secretary Moody, Postmaster
General Payne and Governor Crane, of
Massachusetts,, participated. Every
one connected with the conference was
very reticent, but 1t was learned that
the president is much concerned over
the situation, the near approach OF
winter and the great scarcity of fuel.
Just what action will be taken is not
known. The impression prevails that
the reason for the hurried visit of Sec
retary Root to New York was for the
purpose Of discussion with leading bus
:ness men Of that city the situation with
view to ending the strike.
The conferees met at two and are
now in session y the presidents room
DR.. Lung calleu shortly after the Sec
ond conference began, but did not see
the president. The latter enjoyed "
good nights rest and his condition
is pronounced satisfactory.
The second conference lasted less
than an hour. The coal situation was
further discussed, but the participants
refused to make any statement when
they came from the presidents room.
Has any line Of action been taken that
the administration confidently expects
will settle the striker" Postmaster Cen
eral Payne was asked. ITO say so now
would be premature" he replied.

CHICAGO COAL MEN SHUT OUT.
Price Raised to Prohibit Buying at
Cincinnati and Louisville.

ClnCln00Sl ana LOUISVILLE.
Louisville, KY, Sept. 3O-Most of the
coal dealers were surprised this morn
ing when they received notice that
an advance of 25 cents ton on all river
coal would go into effect Immediately
This notice came from the Mononga-
hela River Consolidated Coal and Coke
company, which is the official title of
the Pittsburg coal trust.
Chicago merchants during the past
few weeks have been receiving orders
for thousands OF tons more of soft coal
than they ever before got at this time
of year in that city. So they have
been putting forth desperate efforts
to meet this unprecedented demand.
They soon found out that 1t was i'm
possible for them to secure a sufficient
amount of this coal by waiting on or
ders put In at the mines. The scheme
OF buying up the stocks of river coal
stored at Cincinnati and Louisville then
presented itself, and was promptly
adopted.
Last week. before the coal combine
realized what the Chicago merchants
were up to, big purchases were made
in Cincinnati. For several days they
loaded upward OF seventy-f1ve car
loads day at the Cincinnati water
front and shipped 1t to Chicago. These
purchases would doubtless have con
stinued here this week had not the coal
combine found out what the Chicago
dealers were up to, and so, to freeze
the Chicago buyers out and prevent
them from carrying away the stocks
on coal held by Louisville and Gin
cinnati, the. price was advanced.

DISPUTE OVER SALE OF WIFE.
Illinois Justice Says Man Must Insur
Delivery or Return Money.

Illinois Justice Says Man Must Insure
Delivery or Return Money.
Centralia, ILL.,, Sept. 30.-Justice Sum-
merville, of Odin, has handed down a
decision that If man sells his wife he
must insure delivery, or he is guilty of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
AS to the constitutional right of a man
to sell his wife the justice did not pass
upon.
The case resulted from a deal made
by Mr.. Hamilton, of Noble, ILL.,, who
was visiting in Ohio. to sell his wife to
Mr.. Davenport for 81 cash. Mrs. Ham
ilton heard of the bargain and went
with Davenport, but left him before
night. Davenport had Hamilton ar
rested, and the entire community went
to hear the case.
Attorney Olinger for the defense ar
gued that man had right to sell his
wife any time he pleased without a
peddler's license. Thomas Norton. re-
presenting the state, contended that If
a man sold his wife he must insure de-
livery. Justice Summeryille took the
latter view. and decided that Hamilton
must send back the wife or the money,
nav the court costs and leave town, or
he would send him to the county Jail
to await grand jury action.

vention With Attack on Republic
ans.
Saratoga, Sept. s0.-The democratic
state convention was called to order at
1880 today and John B. Stanchfield, of
Elmira, was made temporary chairman.
Stanchfield, upon assuming the chair,
spoke at considerable length. He as
sailed the republican administration,
both national and state, the former for
Its failure to declare to The inhabitants
of the Philippines time when the
islands shall be turned over to their
people, and thus terminate the war; the
state administration for its "Wilful and
wasteful expenditures OF the peoples
money" He condemned the republic
ans for not granting reciprocity to Cuba
and argued that the process of effecting
relief from the so-called trusts thru
constitutional amendments would be
too slow and vexatious and wearisome.
The speaker believed if the tariff was
removed from all articles in which mo-
nopoly has been created relief would be
quickly experienced.
After the appointment Of the usual
committees the convention adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
