Retailers Made Big Prices.

New York, Oct. 25.-President Baer
in circular charges retail dealers in
hard coal with the high prices. The
circular says: Notwithstanding the
fact that during the strike no coal was
sold by our company at an advance
over the circular price, the price has
been unreasonably advanced TO the
public by some retail dealers. In the
distribution of coal, therefore, you will
so far as practicable, supply the dealers
who are willing to sell coal to the
public at reasonable prices. Where
dealers seek to obtain an unfair profit
from the public, you will promptly
take steps to supply the reasonable de-
mands of the public directly"

DANE TREATY REJECTED.
Though Popular Sentiment Is Surely
Favorable.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The state de-
partment is advised of the action of the
Danish landsthing in rejecting the
treaty of cession. Assuming that action
is final for the present session, the
officials here are disposed to view the
situation philosophically resting in the
belief that it will only be a short time
before Denmark will tire of making
good deficit in the revenue of the
islands and let us have them.
Copenhagen.-The predominant sem
timent throughout Denmark is un-
doubtedly favora BILE and the rejection
of the treaty is attributed chiefly to a
political effort to embarrass the gov
eminent and bring about sthe resigna-
ton of the ministry. The question of
the sale of the islands may not remain
dead for any length of time.
