BIG COAL COMBINE DELAYED.
Illinois Centrars Income Threaten
ed and 1t Refuses 40 Deal with
the Morgan Interests.

Carbondale, H., Jan. 2S.-A most Sc
rious condition has just been found
to exist in the attempt to place the
Illinois coal field under the great coal
corporation which now controls the
interests In Indiana, West Virginia
and Ohio. The Illinois Central Rail-
road has carried in the past twenty
seven per cent. Of the coal Of the state
and allied interests make the per. cent.
over fifty. About ten days ago q de-
mand was made for some agreement
that its carrying revenue in the ~
ture would not be hampered by the
eliminating of competition. To TINS
only an evasive agreement was pro-
posed, whereupon the road refused 10
deal longer with tie j. P1erpont MOI
gan interests.
The present contest may delay the
plans of the combine for several
months, unless the railroad interests
of the state shall be amply protected
in their revenue. Indiana operators
during the past week have been re-
ceiving their money for their coal
properties, and by Feb. l the entire
coal interests of the state Will pass
into the syndicate hands. In ILLINOIS
no permanent repairs to property are
being made, owing to the knowledge
among the operators that only a short
time will elapse before the syndicate
will be prepared TO secure their prop
erty.

WOULD HAVE GONE TO BRYAN.
WHY CALIFORNIA CAST ITS VOTE
FOR M'KINLEY.

Had People of Pacific Coast Not De-
Heved Republican Administration
Would Exclude Chinese CaIifor-
MAS Vote would Have Gone the
other way-sO Mr.. Livernash, of
the San Francisco Examiner. Told
Foreign Affairs Commfttee-The
Pacific Coast Regards China and
the Philippines With Apprehen-
sion.
Washington, D.. c., Jan. 25.-When
the Foreign Affairs Committee of the
House to-day resumed its hearings on
the subject of the re-enactment of the
law prohibiting the coming into this
country of Chinese. it was informed
that If il had not been understood
fully by the people of the Pacific coast
in the last national campaign, that
the Chinese would be excluded by a
Republican administration, and by a
Republican Congress, CALIFORNIA;
electoral vote would have been cast
for Mr.. Bryan.
This statement was made by Assist
ant Manager L. J. Livernash, of the
San Francisco Examiner. He appeared
before the committee in support of the
Kahn bill for the exclusion of the Chi
nese, which, it appeared, in the course
OF ms statement he had a part in pre-
pairing.
In the course of his argument Mr.
LAvernash particularly supported the
section of the proposed act which pro-
hloits the coming of Chinese into this
country from the Philippines or other
insular possessions of the United
States. He referred to the flood of
petitions which had been sent into
Congress in favor of a more liberal
treatment of the Chinese, and said that
fgr Congress to listen TO such petitions
would be simply to assist the exploita-
ton of the Philippine Islands by Eu-
ropeans and cause US to lose sight of
the commercial future of the islands
as an American possession.
Mr.. Livernash insisted that the peo-
pie of California in this matter were
not pleading for a privilege but for a
right. The people of the Pacific Coast
were particularly interested because
they looked toward China and toward
the Chinese in the Philippines with ap-
prehension and suspicion.
While he was, he said, In favor of
the extension of the existing treaty
between the United States and China,
WHICH Will expire III lJO4, ne regarded
the effort to limit the operations of
the proposed exclusion law to the in
terval between the expiration of the
existing law and the treaty as a ruse
of the opponents of Chinese exclusion.
He insisted that China could not com
plain with propriety of the re-enact-
ment of the exclusion law, because
she had not come into the present pro-
ceedings with clean hands. Among
a 70
the treaty breaker of treaty break
ers." He urged that there was moth
ing in the pending measure from which
the most delicate conscience could
finch.
Samuel Gompers, the president of the
American Federation of Labor, in a
brief statement to the committee, said
that the labor interests of the coun-
try did not insist upon any action by
Congress which in any way would re-
fleet upon the honor, good name or
dignity of the United 8 tes.

woman she cursed him and threw the
Ratchet. Her aim was true and left

1t is though the bullet is in the region
of the lungs.

ORLANDO ENJOYS A CARNIVAL.
Lady Held UD ON Public Road and
Robbed by Negro.

Orlando, Fla, Jan. 25.-A regular
Coney Island Midway has been in full
blast in the heart of the CITY for
week. Yesterday was a sort of a car
nival day for the fire department. The
features were a parade headed by the
department, and followed by a trades
display by the business houses. Miss
Lillian Wilmott was queen of the car
nival, and right royalty did she pre-
side.
The startling feature of the day,
however, occurred about 5 O'Clock in
the evening, as Mrs. Cooling of Win
ter Park, who had been here taking
in the festivities. was driving home.
On the public road she was held up by
a negro, and robbed of about
ten dollars. The officers are
on the fellows trail and he will be
called to settlement for his enter
prise. 1t is the first instance of the
kind on record here.
The orange trees have passed
through all the cold thus far without
losing their leaves. 1t is now thought
that they will pull through without
damage, and will put on an extra
heavy crop of fruit in March.
