NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Upon the
weather only depends whether New
York will be visited by the greatest
coal famine in its history. Miners, oper-
atcrs, railroad men and dealers frankly
acknowledged that today. Do their
best, they said, they can not get more
than a day away from the condition
that existed at the end Of the coal
strike, and they will not be able to get
further away this winter. If the pres
ent blizzard should continue, tying up
the great railroads, three days will see
the few remaining tons selling at prices
which will make them luxuries.

"A Senator Tells Of the Motive Of
John Sherman in Forcing the
Original Anti Trust Law
Through the SGndte

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Sit has
been demonstrated during the last few
days that the Republican leaders in
Congress are determined to trade tariff
revision for antitrust legislation; or
in other words, they are willing TO
take up the question of amplifylng or
broadening the Sherman law in order
to prevent any change i'm the Dingley
tariff act. That program. in fact, has
virtually been agreed upon by the men
who are most influential in shaping
legislation in the Senate and House.
and it is understood the President has
fallen in with it.
Since Monday a dozen of the most
influential members of both branches of
Congress have conferred with the Presi-
dent, among them being Senators Alli-
son, Spooner, Fairbanks. Foraker
Lodge, Kean, Burrows and Cullom, and
Representatives Henderson, Cannon
and others. All of these men advised
against any revision of the tariff, but
expressed themselves in favor of new
legislation calculated to regulate trusts
A tentative agreement to carry out
such a plan has been made. and it may
be expected that whenever a tariff re-
viSionist raises his head he will be
dubbed into submission. But whether
any trust legislation will be enacted
remains to be seen. even though, the
sentiment seems to be strongly in ia
vor of it. ,,. es- +...
Representative Charles e. Littlefield
of Maine has arrived IN Washington,

are now two antitrust measures pend
ing in the House which he introduced
on the opening day of last session, but
they have been dormant in the COM
rnittee on judiciary But Mr.. Little
field intends to stir up the committee
If possible, and will introduce new bills
or amendments to the old ones. He
has been at work on them during the
recess. and before the end of next week
expects to confer with Attorney Gen
eral Knox with regard to them. He
also hopes to see the President.

THRUST act prominent United States
Senator told the following story last
night: ''The motive of John Sherman
the author of the famous law in seek
ing to regulate trusts, was to get even
with General Russell A. Alger, OF
Michigan. Sherman, it will be re-
called was a strong candidate for the
Presidential nomination in, the Repub-
lican convention of 1888. and came
near landing it. But Alger was in
strumental in measure, in defeating
his ambition. and the Ohio Senator
was resentful At the next session OF
Congress he introduced his antitrust
bin, and it was aimed to great ex-
tent at the Diamond Match company
in which Alger was a large stockhold-
er. After the passage of the law suit
was begun against this company for
alleged violation of the act; Now il
is singular fact that General Alge1
is a member of the Senate when the
question of amending the Sherman
law will be considered"

Six months ago she broke off their
engagement, and he then threatened to
kill her. and his folks sent him to Illi-

YOUNG WON WIS POISONED

Quickly Ended H6r Existence

ALEDO, H., Dec. 6.-"I know the
girl who murdered my daughter. If
there is any justice in this world she
will suffer the fate she deserves. We
have the evidence to convict her."
The declaration was made this
morning by an old woman, whose
haggard face shows the effect of long
days and nights of suffering. She
told of the half audible words of the
dying girl, her daughter, Allie Dool
who, even in her agony, told where shl

that is the basis of the murder charge
against Tona Dunlap.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 6.-Pres-

official announcement to be made that
he would nominate John Barrett OF
Oregon to be United States minister to
Japan, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Minister Buck.
Barrett was appointed minister to
Siam by President Cleveland. He was

Around Miss Margaret Miller, the
school teacher, who was with Tona
Dunlap when the candy was given to
Dool, centers much of the mystery Of
the strange case. The prosecution
contends that Tona Dunlap gave Miss
Dool some crushed chocolates which
she had in her hand.
States Attorney Graham declares
that in a stenographic statement OBJ
tanned by the court reporter Miss Miller
reiterated the declaration that Tona
gave Miss Dool some crushed pieces Of
chocolate, and that she apologiZed for
doing so at the time ia the prelim-
mary examination Miss Miller swore
that Miss Dool herself chose the choc-
olates which ended her life. An in
dictment for perjury followed this tes-
timony, and today the principal witness
in the case faces felony charge.

At the offices of the great coal carry

There is coming to tidewater daily

About $4,000 tons of this comes to New

New York's real actual demand in
