While yesterday was a very light day
at the coal Office at the city hall. but 2s
tons being sold all day, today was much
better and yesterdays record was beaten
before noon time
When business was started this morn
ing OF the 1900 tons OF Welsh coal bought
by the city committee there were Just $50
tons left. and in all probability this small
amount will be disposed OF before the end
OF the week.
Alderman Reynolds IN the claim depart
ment has had considerable 10 do in an

tangles. Since the sale began the delv-
cry OF 20 orders has been refused by those
buying 81 and the money demanded re-
turned, which has been done In every
case, less 30 cents for carriage.
A peculiar feature OF this refusing 10
accept the coal is that a very large ma
jority OF such refusals come from resi-
dents OF Constitution hill and that vicin-
ity and nearly all OF them bear a low
number, showing the parties 20 have been
among the first In line on that busy Sum
day morning
Among the other things that have hap
pened IN the claims department Is the
fact OF l6 orders being taken 10 the
wrong address. through the fault OF the
purchaser. One lot paid for has not been
delivered because there Is no such street
I'm the city as that given by the buyer.
IN all there are 10 lots that have not been
delivered, for various causes. In 19 cases
the coal Is being withheld pending inves-
tigauon.
There have been Is people return TO the
hall. who II has been found had received
their coal, but who denied it. and de-
manded their money back. One order

A SOFT WORD
Tanned tho R0bsIIIous Spirit Of
UnruIy Sailors.

The presence OF mind OF an officer OF
marines prevented tragedy in which
two prisoners of war from the Philip
pines were the principals. on board the
sound line steamer Plymouth, while she
was on her way TO Fall River last night.
When the boat left New York she had
on board II general court martial prison
ers of war; who were being taken from
the Brooklyn navy yard TO Boston 10
serve out their terms OF Imprisonment.
An escort OF marines accompanied the
men.
Two OF the long term prisoners were
unshackled and sent below in charge OF
two marines as soon as the craft pulled
away from her dock. At about O'Clock,
oners SUCCEEDED in disarming the guards
of their revolvers. and they Immediately
began general fusilade.
The officer in charge, hearing the noise,
came TO the head of the stairs, only TO
be confronted ny one OF the men with a
drawn revolver. Without the least show
OF discontinue. the officer said: Now,
don't do anything foolish" and his words
had the effect OF bringing the unruly man
into submission.
1t was found after the men had been
sackled that 10 shots had been fred. but
no greater damage was done than the
injury inflicted on the walls by the
leaden missiles.
The boat continued from Newport TO
Fall River. where she arrived this morn
ing. The prisoners were transferred to
a train and taken 10 Boston. The unruly
prisoners will probably be given addi-
tional terms OF Imprisonment for causing
the disturbance.

NO DATE FOR THE LAUNCH.

Has any date for the launch been sug-
gested as yet; or any arrangements made
for the trial races?"
THE work is well under way. but we
must. OF course. delay the launch and
races until such time as we NAV EXPECT
favorable weather. AT present II Is our
Intention TO have the yacht launched
about the end OF March or In the early
days OF April She will be finished as
far as practicable before she IS put into
the water; but even with this the date
nxed will allow plenty OF time TO have
everything done without the slightest
hurry.
After the launch we shall allow about
three weeks or a month for fitting out.
and then the trial races against sham
rock j. will be started. II Is, OF course
too early for us TO have all these ar
rangements completed. but 1t is our IN.
tention TO have the first trials on IN,
Clyde.
Then both boats will go south TO con
tiue the test matches on The Solent ant
on the more open water outside tn,
Wight. These will be continued unit
Captain Wrlnge and Mr.. Fife are iboti
confident that they know exactly wha
the new boat can do Then both boaf

IN American waters to give us a big a.
vantage over the previous contests. b.

10 have these races sailed against Sham

mainly for that purpose. n however II
should be decided that II is preferable

Washington, April 3.-The majority

pure food bill were presented to the

the measure represents the views OF
all persons and associations seeking
effective pure food legislation. The
reporC says the necessity of such leg
islation is shown by the vast number
of authorizations and debasements on
the market, most of them being i'm
posed upon poor people. The meas.
urc is in no sense paternalistic, the
report adds, but merely protective
the same as laws against counterfeit
