New York, June 1O.-Chief Corpora
ton Counsel Crosby, In charge OF the
bureau for the collection Of penalties,
is proceeding against about 40 Of the
large office buildings in this city un-
der the ordinance forbidding the use
Of soft coal. The penalty is $50 In
each instance and where the depart
nient Of health has given notice to
stop the use Of soft coal and 1t is con-
tinued, contrary to order, the penalty
is $3.50.
Since the miners strike the use

I'VE believe that many people are TAX
ing advantage of the coal strike as
an excuse for burning soft coal. There
are coal regions in Canada, England
and in the south and there is no rea-
son why these supplies should not be
drawn upon"

Bitterness Between eurghers.

Bloemfontein, Orange River Colony,
June "a strong contrast to the feel
Ing between Boer and Briton is the
bitterness expressed between the
burghers who r surrendering under
the peace terms and those Beers who
surrendered during the campaign.
When the Boer leaders came to Bloem-
fontein, prior to the conclusion of
peace, they refused to shake hands
with those who had previously sur
rendered. The general belief is that
relations between these two classes
OF Beers will be embittered for a long
time.
