Coal Scarce In the Northwest-Mor
Than 100000 Tons Needed to
Meet the Demand.

J. II. Wahlmeyer. representing the
chamber OF commerce at St. Paul,
Mimi, is In the East trying to arrange
deal whereby the people OF the
northwest may secure coal to meet
the urgnt dmands for fuel in that sec
ton. Mr.. Wahlmeyer says that the
situation in the northwest is serious.
The people have the money to pay
for fuel at reasonable rates, but are
unable To get II. "In the district con-
tiguous to st. Paul the demand for
fuel was never greater than at tho
present time. n II Is possible to ar
range for the shipment the amount
Of coal required for immediate use
Is upwards OF 100000 tons. The re.
cent strike In the east is directly re-
sponsible for the scarcity of coal In
the northwestern states this winter.
When the anthracite mines were
shut down and tn great cry for fuel
was raised among the industrial con-
sumers IN the east oil the coal OBJ
tainable was shipped in that dlrec-
tion. The northwest was entirely
forgotten and despite most strenuous
efforts on the part Of the people in
that district II was utterly impossible
to induce the railroads and coal COM
panles In Western Pennsylvania and
Ohio to fill the orders. The business
was diverted almost exclusively to the
east. BY the time ;ne demand from
that aection had been filed and the
anthracite strike ended, the lake
navigation had closed for the season.
with the lake traffic ended there were
little hopes for getting coal in the
northwest. About that time the
great freight congestions in all parts
Of the country were confronting the
railroads. and any appeal to them
proved absolutely fruitless. As a re-
suit the shipments TO the northwest
ceased entirely. and little hope re-
mains for getting the traffic diverted
in that direction for tine rest of the
winter. Business in most of the big
cities where Industrial Interests DOM
mate Is new at n standstill for the
want Of cCal. The plants have been
shut down. and the prospects for re-
sumption in the near future are de-
| ciIedly discouraging. In fact. the
coal shortage is so great that resi-
dence fuel Is equally as much in de-
mand. and unless an arrangement can
he made to secure shipments of coal
| there will be considerable suffering
! among the Deoule during the winter"

WILL SUBMIT 70 HAGUE TRIBUNAL
CASTR0'S TERMS.
Notifies Washington Of Acceptance OF
Observation-Disclosures Return Of His

President Castro, OF Venezuela, mas

ceptance of the proposal to submit

tration CT The Hague tribunal, sub
ject to certain conditions, which in
clude cessation OF the blockade and

dent Castro's acceptance has been
transmitted to the Washington gov
ernment, from which the proposal
emanated. The President has not
determined whether 20 accept or de.
cline the request Of Germany, Eng
land and Italy that he serve as arbi-
traitor of the Venezuela dispute. In
view of the virtual assurances of tho
allies in their formal invitation to
him that they are not unfricndly to
the Presidents suggestion that the
case be referred to The Hague trlb-
unal, correspondence with thcm on
this phase OF the negotiations has
been reopened by Secretary Hay, who
is. of course, acting under the Presi-
dents direction Mr.. Roosevelt has
not neglected the opportunity offered
to him of again urging a reference to
the permanent court of arbitration,
and kilograms and instructions to
make representations Of that charac-
ter were sent BY Secretary Hay to tho
American embassies in London, Bcr-
lin and Rome. In the opinion of the
administration. the great danger of
the present situation lies in the in
crossing chance with every days de-
lay in settlement that something
may occur which will compel the
United Staes government to define
more clearly the scope of the policy
and rights which IL assumes under
the Mcnroo doctrine. No doubt is felt
at the White House that the time is
rapidly approaching when this dedni.
tion must be given and, once for
mally made known, be adhered to by
the United States. Until that time
arrives, the President is unwilling
to render any Interpretation of the
famous doctrine beyond that which
Monroe enunciated.

which sold freely, many packing AMI
shipping departments being still en-.
gagged on this class of work, which
could not be completed at the speci-
fed time. Industrial undertakings
are interrupted in many cases by the
taking of inventories while other
plants are closed because fuel cannot
be obtained. Orders still come for.
ward freely, and the new year will
open with more business on the books
than ever before. Prices Of commodi.
ties are firmly held by the steady
domestic demand, and there is good
export movement OF tieN leading
staples. Railway earnings thus far
reported for the month of December
surpass last years by per cent, and
those of 1900 by 11.6 per cent? Quiet
