COAL COMING, BUT SLOWLY.
Dealers Say, However, That Supply
Will Be Ample

The flow Of anthracite coal in this direc-
ton has not fairly begun yet. and it is evil
dent that the output of the mines is going
to localities nearer the edge of winter than
in Washington. There Is one feature about
the situation which is reassuring, and that
is the need thus far has not been as press
ing as has been In previous years at this
season, when the temperature was lower.
Coal is coming I'm, but very slowly, and
since the resumption of work 1t is estimated
that not more than 800 tons of hard coal
have been received for private use In this
city. AS Will be readily understood, that
Is but drop-or rather one piece-compar-
ed with the demands of a market that sup
plies a population of nearly 800 600 souls.
Every now and then a dealer gets cou-
pie of cars. and 1t is expected that the ship
ments will from now on increase in amount
1t is the belief OF dealers that the supply
of coal will be adequate to meet all actual
needs, although 1t Is not anticipated that
there will be enough to give all household
ers all that they may be able to store in
their cellars.
The plan Of distributing the coal by single
tons viii no doubt be largely followed. ana
in this way every one will get q sufficient
supply for their immediate needs. 1t Is
probable that for the coming winter house.
holders will buy their coal by the single
ton instead Of getting enough At one time
to All up their bins. At any rate, there
will be no coal famine nor extortionate
prices asked. and the fuel outlook az seen
by dealers 10 q reassuring one.

A TIMELY REPORT FROM CONSUL
ATWELL AT RoUBAIX.
Preparations for Defense Of the
"Jaunes," or the Men Who Re-
fused to Quit Work.

United States Consul Atwell at Roubaix
has made report to the State Department
in regard to the coal strike In France under
date of October 10, in which he says:
ION October the National Federation of
the Miners of France met in full commit
tee at Paris to discuss the question of
general strike. After the meeting the ma
tional committee of mines published a man
ifesto addressed to all miners in France,
stating that the committee of coal op-
orators had refused to nominate a commits
sion to discuss with the workmen's dele
cation questions relating to a minimum
rate of salary, as well as mining regula-
tons and organization, general strike had
been decided for the morning of the 9th Of
October.
ministers, telegraphed Immediately to the
projects of twelve departments affected by
the proposed strike to hold the military
forces at the disposition of the government.
according to the plan elaborated by the
Waldeck-Rousseau ministry.
Before leaving Paris the committee OF
the National Federation Of Miners address,
ed a letter to the president of the council
of ministers, stating their grievances
anew, and closing by an enumeration of
their demands, which include minimum
salary, eight hours work, miners to be
delegated to watch over the safety of the
mines, COHITdClS anu peHSiOH VI 700
cents per day after thirty years service
and having attained fifty years OF age.
while many miners in this district have
struck in obedience to the call of the ma
tional committee, there is a large contin-
gent demanding protection IN the exercise
OF their right to continue work. On the 9Th
instant 1900 miners at the AuZin mines had
signed a petition to be protected in the
continuance of their labor. 1t is said that
at least two-thirds of the mines in that
region have manifested a desire not to fol-
low the strike.
THE union of non-strikers, or Jaunes.
as they are called to distinguish them from
the rouges,' or strikers distributed twenty
revolyers and 1000 cartridges to each sec
ton of the AuZin mines, after an attack by
strikers on the night of the Sth. Instruc-
lions were given to the miners. however, to
use them only in defending their homes.
ION October IL Mr.. Paul Lanolr. secre-
tary general of the Company Of Inde-
pendent Workmen, or james, was received
by the president of the council Of ministers
and protested formally against aggressions
of the rouges against the Jaunes. 1t Is
said unofficially that the president Of the
council asked Mr.. Lanoir to suspend the
distribution of arms among the james.
Mr.. Lanoir that the right to work would be
insured by the execution Of measures
against strikes, agreed upon by the Wal
deck-Rousseau ministry.
1T Is said that the large iron works at
Denain and Auzin, which require from 40
to $50 car loads of coal and coke per day,
are running short of fuel, and will be COM
If this is true, 1000 workmen will be de-
prived of work.
These are some Of the first fruits of the
coal strike IN the north of France"

CLERK GOES WRONG
CONFIDENTIAL MAN CHARGED
WITH EMBEZZLEMENT.
Alleged Shortage Of Over $1,000,
Which May Be Increased When
Books Are Examined.

A descriptive circular was issued by Capt.
Boardman today asking for the arrest OF
John Lawrence O'Brien, who was con-
fidential clerk in the employ of Mr.. Frank
Hume the wholesale grocer at 454 Penn
sylvania avenue northwest, for about seven
years. He is accused of the embezzlement
OF about So 400 OF his employers funds.
O'Brien left the city one week ago, and It
was not until Mr.. Hume received letter
from him that he suspected anything wrong.
Monday of last week the missing salesman
and collector and Miss Della O'Day were
married at st. Matthew's Church. and the
same day the couple left the city, ostensibly
for New York, to spend their honeymoon.
Since the receipt of the letter by Mr.. Hume
friends of O'Brien recall conversations In
which he made statements indicating that
he had an idea of going to London 1t Is
believed by Mr. Hume that he has either
sailed for Europe is making arrange
ments to cross the ocean, possibly from
some point In Canada.
Saturday morning the letter In question
was mailed in this city by a friend Of the
alleged defaulter who was entirely ignorant
of it's contents. The letter was dated Octo-
Der "a and was addressed to Mr.. Hume S
bcokkeeper. 1t mailed at the time
O'Brien had requested and was delivered The
same afternoon.
Mr.. Hume did not ask the assistance OF
the police until this morning, when he called
on Capt Boardman. He furnished the chief
of detectives with copy of the letter,
which reads as follows
After you have gone through the ledger
you will be able to make a total difference
of accounts, rather total of what they
should be. Hand it to Mr.. Hume. 1 could
write pages, yes, book, on the facts or
the enclosed statement. but knowing the
disposition of human nature to condemn
one feel it would be useless. O'BRIEN.'
His Wife a Clerk.
Miss O'Day, who became OBrien's wife,
was a clerk in the census Office and was
afterward transferred to the Treasury De-
partment. She is A daughter of Mr.. James
ODay, a retired contractor. 1t Is stated
that during the time OBrien lived at the
Raleigh he entertained friends in a hand
some manner. 1t was during his conversa-
ton with one of his friends at the dining
table that he discussed the easy manner in
which man might escape and be safe
from the police by going to London. His
argument was that London is a big city,
and that as people do not generally know
their next-door neighbors, stranger would
have an excellent opportunity to keep I'M
der cover Mr.. Hume is satisfied that
O'Brien had 5000 $1,000 in his posses
sion when he went away. People who knew
him say he was fond of playing the rae es
and that he occasionally went across the
river to the pool room at st. ASaph and
wagered money.
Capt. Boardman will do everything In his
power to effect the mans arrest, and should
he be captured in London a detective will
be sent across the ocean to bring him back
to face the charge against him.
