NEW YORK, October 86.-F'or the hrst
time since the Goa! strike the gas COM
n.nies Of the city have set up an alarm
on account Of the famine in the coal
market.
The higher fuel has jumped in prices.
the more has gas been used to take its
Mace for cooking purposes. The gas
companies have put out hundreds and hun
dreds OF ranges in excess of the normal
number during the last two weeks. More
ia $ is being consumed than the companies
have coal to insure. Unless conditions
right themselves very soon the pressure
in the supply of gas will be too hight for.
stove purposes. and the famine of coal
will produce. as is confidently expected. a
famine Of gas. S.
On the East Side regular brigades Of
men, women and children can be seen
at all hours Of the day picking scraps
of wood from all obtainable places. Coal
has passed out Of the category Of lux
ries on the East Side. It is even more
scarce than ornaments.
The Standard Oil Company has raised
tho price Of refined petroleum from eight
cents to eight and half cents a gallon.
AS the Standard Oil Company's annual

vance means an increased profit of 81.

pay the money were in a majority. and
they made a demand upon the officers
Of the company that the men who would
not pay up to have the money taken out
Of their wages or be discharged The

Appeal TO miners

President will use all the power OF his
office, backed by popular sympathy and
gratitude to secure action by Congress or
the Legislature Of Pennsylvania, or both.
to bring about reforms in mining con-
dltlons and secure the miners in all their
legitimate rights.
The President made this appeal to
Mitchell after the failure of Fridays con-
ference to result in an understanding. He
urged Mr.. Mitchell to endeavor to put an
end to the intolerable situation without
regard to what the operators might do
and trust to Congress and public opinion
for protection.
Mr. Mitchell promised to do what he
could. He went to Wilkesbarre, and from
that point sounded the feeling OF the
miners
Mr. Sargent will return to Washington

the result of his meeting with Mitchell.

dent to solve the situation through the
good offices of Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Sar-
gent. the President has not ceased to
urge J. Pierpont Morgan to act. It is
said here to-day that anything Mr. Nor

Dental man, was here to stop it, and it
is said to-day that Mr.. Morgan himself
appeared on the scene, but failed to dis
suade the President from his purpose.
The following dialogue is reported to
have taken place between Mr.. Morgan
and the PRESIDENT:
Mr. President do you not think it is
unwise to institute this suit and to affect
the stock market, as such acton is sure
to do?' asked Mr.. Morgan.

Cent. in that deliberate and forceful
