WILL NOT HAUL SOFT COAL.
Anthracite Roads Refuse Facilities to
Bituminous Miners.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: The coal famine in this city reached
state today where dealers were unable to
supply anthracite at any price and had
great difficulty in filing orders for bitumi-
nous coal. Those dealers who could deliver
soft coal were selling it at $40 and SO
ton. In many parts of the city the effect of
the scarcity of fuel was shown in the shut
ting Off of steam in factories and in stop
ping or diminishing the hot-water supplies
in flats and apartment houses. In some of
the houses the tenants were warned that
hot water would be supplied from the base
ments only on two days of the week In
some other houses notice was given that
the hot water would be supplied only mart
of each day.
Many people who have been unwilling to
use soft coal in their furnaces were driven
to Its use today, and many who would
have been glad to use soft coal found that
they could not get any. There was a gen
eral surprise and indignation in the city on
account Of the sudden scarcity of soft coal
and the tremendous increase in the price of
it. Commenting on this situation the Trib-
une will say tomorrow:
There Is an abundance of bituminous
coal at the mines ready for shipment to
the city. The trouble is in the TRANSPORTED

OWNERS MAY BRING SUIT.
To Force Lessees of Mines to Resume
Operations.

A dispatch from Bangor, Me-, yesterday
says: c. NJ. Holman Of this city, who is a
part owner in coal mines in Pennsylvania
of which the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company are lessees, Is consider
ing the question of making application to
the courts for an injunction to compel the
coal operators to open mines and resume
opera tons at once. AS the property is
leased on a royalty. Mr.. Holman says that
no income has been derived since the mines
were shut down. and that the actual owners
Of the mines are among the principal suffer-
ers from the strike.
He says also that a great many of the
owners are in sympathy with the strikers,
but are helpless. at least in Pennsylvania,
as the courts have held that the lessees
have full control.
Mr. Holman has wired President Roose-
welt that the interests of the owners entitle
them to representation in any conference
which may be held with reference to- set
Element of the strike.
In his telegram to the President, Mr. Hol-
man referred to the operators obstinate
policy of refusing to submit to arbitration
their differences with the striking miners,
with whose demands many of the equitable
real owners of the unmined and unpaid for
coal of Pennsylvania over which the rail-
way magnates despotically exercise the
power of the legal title they hold as lessees
are. like myself. entirely in sympathy. We
have some vested rights entitled to respect,
and we welcome your intervention"

tors say they can supply all the demand IL
they can get tos-eScs to carry It and the
locomotives to haul the cars.
There are thousands of empty coal cars
standing Idle on the sidings of the anthra-
cite region, and there is no prospect that
they can be used for a long time in carry
ing coal from the anthracite mines. Yet
prominent dealers said Yesterday CNondavl

the city was being brought over the penn

and that many coal trains were held I'M
along those lines because of the lack Of
locomotives to haul them, or because the
companies had too much other freiQht traf-

could not be bdpght wholesale YESTERDAY.

Bryan's Views on Strike.
A dispatch from Lincoln. Neb.. yesterday
says: In a statement made this evening w.
]. Bryan says President Roosevelt should
be commended for his efforts to settle the
miners strike He suggests however. that
since the operators decline to arbitrate. the
Presidents hands are tied, and urges him
to call an extra session Of Congress Five
measures. Mr.. Bryan says should be raised
for passage Summarized these are in
Mr.. Bryan's language:
"A law establishing a national board of
arbitration. consisting of three to five mem
bers, to consider and report on all contro-
versies between corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce and their employees: a
law abolishing government by injunction;
law that will discriminate between the

mighty. and the corporation giant created
by legislation; a law taking the tariff off

t.; ,,%1 a.

Position Of the Lessees.

John B. Kerr of New York, general coun-
sci for the New York, Ontario and Western
railroad, speaking of the report from Bos-
ton that certain New England owners of
coal mining properties in the anthracite
fields in Pennsylvania that are held under
lease by the operators are talking of be-
ginning suit to break the leases because
their royalties have stopped since the strike
began. had this to say of the matter:
'In the first place there are very few
New England owners Of coal lands in Penn
sylvania. Then, all the leases, so far as
know. contain strike clauses. They pro-
vide that in case of strike, when the les
see Is willing to pay the prevailing wages
to his employees. he is excused from the pay
ment of royalties during the strike.
1.-The leases also provide that the lessees
are excused from paying the royalties in
case of accident at the mine that pre-
vents the mining of coal. or in case trouble
on the coal roads makes 1t impossible to
transport the coal.
I'm other words, all the leases know
anything about place the lessee in the posi-
ton in which the owner would be placed
If he were operating the mines.
'If an operator attempts to cut the wages
of his men to less than the prevailing
wages. and they strike he Is not excused
by the strike clause But in the present in
stance the operators are willing to pay the
prevailing wages and are excused from the
payment Of royalties

A SERIAL STORY.
The Mississippi Bubble" to
Printed in the Daily Star.

Beginning with its issue Of
October II The Star will print
as a serial in daily lnstallments
Mr.. Emerson Hough's notable
novel, THE Mississippi Bub-
ble."
According to THE Book
man, an accepted authority in
such matters, ''The Mississippi
Bubble" became the best selling
book on the American market
within two months of its publ
cation. Since that time it has
more than sustained the high
favor with which it was then re-
ceived.
The book has its chief interest
in the career of John Law Of
Lauriston, under whose touch
the whole financial system of
France in the days following the
death of Louis XIV was di-
rected toward the new Missis-
sippi colony in America and in
volved in it. That epoch in
French history is one of the
most picturesque in the story of
all Europe. But THE Missis-
sippi Bubble" comprehends also
pictures of contemporaneous
life in London and the Canadian
forests. Law was in history a
most attractive and absorbing
figure. Mr.. Hough has given
him a personality which intense
fes this historical interest.
"The Mississippi Bubble" thus
comprises view of three inter-
esting nations at most irnpor-
tant stages of their development,
the career of an extraordinary
and spectacular historical figure,
and love story Of rare charm
and dramatic force.

Headquarters National Guard,
Adiutant Generals Office,


HARRISBURG, Pa, October 6, 1902.
In certain portions of the counties Of
Luzerne, Schuylkill, Cargon, Lackawanna,
bia tumults and riots frequently occur and
mob law reigns; men who desire to work
have been beaten and driven away and
their families threatened. Railroad trains
have been delayed, stoned and the tracks
torn up. The civil authorities are unable
to maintain order and have called upon the
governor and communicative chief OF the
National Guard for troops. The situation
grows more serious each day. The terri
tory involved is so extensive that the troops
now on duty are insufficient to prevent all
disorder. The presence of the entire divis-
ion National Guard Of Pennsylvania Is
necessary in these counties to maintain the
public peace.
The major general commanding will place
the entire division on duty. distributing
them In such localities as will render them
most effective for preserving the public
peace.
AS tumults, riots, mobs and disorders
usually occur when men attempt to work
In and about the coal mines, he will see that
all men who desire to work and their fam1-
lies have ample military protection. He will
protect all trains and other property from
unlawful interference and will arrest all
persons engaging in acts of violence and in
timidation and hold them under guard until
their release will not endanger the public
peace; will see that threats. intimidatiOns
assaults and all acts Of violence cease at
once The public peace and good order will
be preserved upon all occasions, and
throughout the several counties, and no in
reference whatever will be permitted with
officers and men in the discharge Of their
duties under this order. The dignity and
authority of the state must be maintained
and her power to suppress all lawlessnesS
