HOT DEBATE AT BERLIN.
Disguised Polish Members Prusslan
Dia+ Teave Touer House in Body.

BERLIN, May 27.-The debate on the Dill
providing for Strengthening the German eie-
ment in the}Polish provinces Of Prussia be
gan in the lower house Of the Prussian diet
today The imperial chancellor, Won Bue-
low, said the government was compelled for
the sake of the security of the monarchy to
erect a bulwark against agitation in favor
Of granting Poland constitutional rights.
The Poles would be safeguarded, but any
effort to change the existing relations OF
the two Municipalities would be vigorously
suppressed. The governments object was
to continue +, theJ policy inaugurated by
Prince Bismarck in 1856. The present bill
was only -eomnsehcement. Next winter
further measures, would be introduced to-
strengthen the German element in the east
ern provinces. including an increase of sal,
aries of Che officials of the middle and lower
ranks and those of the teachers in the ele-
mentary schools.
The chancellor concluded with appealing
to the house to support the government in
it's protection of German customs and man
ners Herr Fritzen, centrst, protested
against the expenditure of quarter of
miiiard marks while questions of greater
Importance were shelved on the ground of
the bad financial condition of the state.
Herr Szuman, Pole, bitterly denounced
the government for not keeping faith with
the Poles, and, at the close of his speech,
the Polish members left the house in
body.

IT CATSES ANXIETY
RUMoR THAT SOFT COAL ADJ
vANCEs IN PRICE.
Managers Of Steamboat Lines Fear
Shortage iii Supply-others
Apparently Indifferent.

The rumor of a contemplated strike In
the soft coal mining region. which fur
nishes this, city with large proper
ton of the coal used by the river steam
ers, Is causing the managers of the steam
boat lines considerable anxiety, as there Is
danger of n shortage In the supply and
prices are advancing Within the past year
coal has advanced over 81 per ton. The
coal wharves Of the steamboat lines are be-
ing stored with extra large supplies Of the
fuel in preparation for a famine should
one come.
Other large consumers Of coal Of that va
riety, including the power companies, do
not seem to be concerned over the situation,
mainly because of the belief on their part
and the opinion of the shippers that the
threatened strike will not, after all, take
place. A shortage of sufficient character
to reduce the supply below the CONSUMPTION
would, of course, be serious matter in this
city, as well as In other centers or popula-
ton where power plants are In general use.
Situation in New York.
Advices from New York are to the effect
that neither the order Of Mitchell to the
pumpmen and engineers to quit work on
June . at the anthracite mines unless they
receive the eight hour working day, nor
the efforts of the Civic Federation to bring
about peace, will alter the stand taken by
the operators. Representatives Of the coal
carrying roads say that, so far as the coal
operators are concerned, no conferences
are needed.
Soft coal was used very largely in New
York yesterday on account of the scarcity
of the anthracite variety. The sound
steamers have begun to burn it generally.
Soft coal mixed with anthracite was burn
ed in the furnaces of many of the down.
town buildings. In the furnaces of many
of the tall buildings soft coal was freely
consumed especially in the Wall street
district. The great demand for bituminous
or soft coal caused a scarcity Of that COM
modify yesterday afternoon. Only the
cheaper grades were on the market The
wholesale price was quoted at $3.50 a ton,
the schedule price being $3.50, and no re-
tail price has been arranged.
There was a slight advance yesterday In
the New York markets in the price of
btuminous coal by the cargo. That product,
it is reported is becoming scarcer every
day, and unless a large supply Is received
in New York soon the price is expected to
take another and much longer jump.
Should the use of soft coal be forced upon
the business world it is believed 1t Will re-
suit in complications. as the labor leaders
will work upon the sympathies OF the
miners in the bituminous coal region to
induce a strike there.

1.-The Anglo-Japanese treaty was regarded
in certain quarters as a source of future
complications which might lead to war be-

piled: Nothing Is more inaccurate. There
is not single clause of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty that can be interpreted as aggressive
or as desire for territorial aggrandize-
ment for either nation. All that Japan
wants is the integrity of the Chinese en-
