ANTHRACITE COAL FAMINE.
New York City Dealers Say the Sup
ply Is Practically Exhausted.

New York August 14-Inquiries have
been made by the Tribune as to the
stock of anthracite coal on hand at sew
eral cities in the east with the following
result:
New York city dealers say the supply
here has been practically exhausted for
weeks. The railroad companies have
been able to deliver only a few thous-
and tons a day recently, and much of it
is known as washed coal.
Retail price of coal In Jersey City is
50 ton, delivered, or IS at the yards,
and orders are taken only conditionally.
The dealers have agents out purchasing
wherever they can find coal. None is
coming In by the cars. Some have
meager reserve supply. but this is kept
for customers with whom they have con-
tracts. Orders for thousands of tons
have to be pigeon-holed because they
cannot be filled.
Buffalo, N. Y, reports that the Erie
railroad Hillside is the only anthracite
that can be bought there at present. 1t
sells for $5.65 ton, and is not the best
quality of hard coal. The Philadelphia
and Reading, the Lehigh, the Delaware
and Hudson, the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western roads have all stopped the
sale of anthracite at their trestles and
have closed their local agencies, thereby
putting an absolute stop to their coal
business. The railroads are maintaining
the utmost secrecy regarding their sup
plies, and even the Erie officials refuse
to say how much they have on hand All
the leading coal dealers say the supply
is exceedingly limited.
At Albany. n. Y, the retail dealers
have in stock not to exceed 1000 tons of
anthracite coal, which they are selling
at Sc to S6.25 ton. The Delaware and
Hudson company has about 1000 tons in
reserve at Delanson. This. with 300 tons
held by a wholesale dealer, is all that
can be accounted for at Albany. 1t is
understood that the Delaware and Hud-
son has considerable coal, estimated as
high as $4,000 tons, on siG.ngs along it's
Susquehanna division.
The Wilksbarre, Pa, company says
there Is no general supply of anthracite
on hand at any point in the region,
Boston reports that no distress has
yet been felt, although the margin Of
the coal supply is not a pleasant object
of contemplation. One authority said
three days ago that there are perhaps
10000 tons of coal within the city limits.
From Baltimore the report is that coal
dealers estimate the stock OF anthracite
there at 100000 tons. This includes all in
the local yards. The supply is so low
that at a meeting of the Retail Dealers
association it was decided not to make
an advance. The price remains at 81. 80
for regular size and 1925 for pea coal.
A famine is imminent.

Berlin. August 14.--Cold rains have
been falling throughout Germany for
fortnight, turning to snow II tie
mountains. Temperatures were re-
ported today as low as 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. The harvest, just clos

wheat and rye, and imports of foreign

for this purpose will probably come

CAN BUY SUPPLIES
IN UNITED STATES
COUNSEL FOR NEW PANAMA CA
NAL CO. SAYS FRENCH LAWS
WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH
AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS.

Indianapolis. August I'D. NJ. Parry.
president of the National Association of
Manufacturers. has received an opinion
from Sullivan & Crowell. New York city.
general counsel In America of the new
Panama Canal Company. which means
much to manufacturers in the United
States.
The opinion is to the effect that every
dollars worth of machinery and supplies
necessary for the construction of the
canal may be purchased in the United
States without restraint in the operation
of the French laws under which the
company was originally chartered.
American manufacturers have been
considerably agitated over the provisions
of the law governing the French COM
pany, and 1t has been feared that pur-
chases of machinery and supplies would
have to be made in France.

Amid all the pomp and pageantry Of

their native loneliness, were easily the
most brilliant feature of the spectacle.
It Is pleasant to observe that in the gal

gloomy old abbey the American women
were the bright particular stars. There
were many Of them in attendance who
were only plain .'missesses," but even
these were conspicuous Tor their brill
liancy. But there were fourteen duch-
esses, countesses, dowager duchesses

Eight of these titled women were from
New York and one each from Boston.

of pearls, belts of rubies and emeralds
and punches of silver cherries and golden
lilies and mother-of-pearl garniture
what wonder it is that the archbishop of
Canterbury tottered and grew faint and
the bishop Of London forgot his part and
various gorgeous underlings got hold of
the orb and the supertunica and the am
pu1la and other utenslle at the wrong
time and thus came near snarlfng up the
SCHEDULED Few men could have stood
that aggregation of natural and artificial
brilliancy and kept their heads.
It is noticeable that but one American
man among the spectators is singled out
for description of his costume. and even
In his case the dispatch tersely says; Mr..
Choate, the American ambassador, was
arrayed in plain black" AS all the other
American men were costumed in similar

as compared with the American women
were like so many crows in a flock of
golden pheasants. 1t is only among the
birds that the male has the fine feathers
In costume and ornament man must al
ways be inferior TO woman. Diamond

possible for instance, to read that when
the archbishop placed the crown upon
the head of the king. "at the same mo-
ment all the peers put on their coronets,''
without the feeling that it must have
been a ridiculous sight and one calculated
to provoke outlaws of laughter. 1t is
equally impossible to read that "as soon
as the queen was crowned all the peer
esses put on their coronets" without the
feeling it was a spectacle worth going
around the world to see and too perfect
ly lovely for anything" 1t is cause for
national congratulation that the Ameri-
can peeresses outshone all others.
