HEAVY INFLOW OF COAL.
Outlook Bright for Large Receipts
Say the Dealers.

New York, Nov. 14.-The outlook for
plentiful supply of coal is brighter
than at any time during the past three
weeks.
Dealers say that all the strikers have
returned to work today, and nearly
every mine throughout the anthracite
region is turning out its full quantity of
coal, which means that the receipts in
New York should be large within the
next few days.
beginning tomorrow" said a promi-
nent dealer today, Il think that New
York should receive from 100000 to $780,,
600 tons of anthracite daily, and as the
city burns only about one hundred
thousand tons on the coolest days, this
will give us a good margin.
There may be delays, but plenty of
coal is in sight, and it is safe to assume
that this city will get a good share.
There need be no fear ow a famine
Coal for the poor is still coming for
ward, and the people continue to pat
ronize the depots in as large numbers
as ever. The price is now ten cents
pail. The tenement jewellers will be
able to buy cheap fuel all winter, the
dealers say.
dealer who is selling coal at 81 a
ton was asked today why the operators
allowed him to make that price.
The coal that is being sold at $3.50
ton" he replied. lis a mixture of sew
eral sizes, and not too high in quality.
l sell only the best coal, which is care
fully screened, and I pay the operators
more than SIS a ton for it 1 sell it in
three ton lots, and I am able to supply
my regular customers, although l do
not look for new trade"

the exact number which held out
against the election of Addicks two
years ago. The regular organization
claims it can hold all of them, and that
not one will vote for the gas man.
Addicks needs two more votes, and talk
of a deal between the Union Republicans
and Democrats whereby Addieks and
either Willard Salisbury or former United
States Senator r. r. Kenney are to be
elected to the senate is heard
Another story is that the Democrats
will combine and elect ex-Congressman
L. A. Ball and either Salisbury or Ken
ney.
The Democrats who have observed the
situation declare that the defeat of their
party was due to the enormous corrup-
ton fund. the selling out of the Demo-
cratic leaders and the trading by others.
The s-Saulsbury element of the party
used the knife freely, regarding the tri-
umph of Addicks as a minor considera-
| ton.
In Kent county the conditions were al
most as bad as in the other counties. In
all the legislative districts the Democrats
cut their tickets and voted for Addicks
men. In one district one Democratic
leader auctioned off forty votes he con-
trolled. There is no evidence that this
corruption was confined to one political
party. The only difference was the extent
and openness with which it was practised
on the one side as against the other. The
party which had the most money got
| there"
There is a law against vote buying and
/ bribery. but both the Democrats and
Union Republicans are afraid to enforce
| it. With such a state of affairs it is no
! wonder that Addicks hourished this
time. and there would not be much sur
prise if he should be elected to the United
States senate.

CARTOONS OF PRESIDENT.
Ministers of Chicago Adopt Resolu-
tions Condemning Them.

Chicago. Nov. 14.-Methodist ministers
don't like to see President Roosevelt pic
tured in cartoons. At their weekly meet
ing they adopted the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas, The position of the chief
magistrate of the United States is one OF
exalted honor IN the estimation of all
the world; and
Whereas, It is both reasonable and
Scriptural that all due respect should be
shown the president of our country as the
ruler of a great and free people; there
fore, be it
Resolved, By the Chicago Methodist
preachers meeting, that we respectfully
call the attention of the publishers and
editors of secular magazines and papers
to the fact that cartoons in which the
president is represented in ridiculous at
titudes are belittling both to him and TO
the public that tolerates them, and have
a tendency in the minds of a multitude
of people to foster a spirit of contempt
for those in authority, and may lead mis-
guided individuals to the commission OF
acts of personal violence.

SULLIVAN COMING WEST.

Boston, Nov 14.-That John L. Sullivan

sons of Boston is shown b the crowds that

once more upon lis face and hear his deep
toned voice
For the big fellow has turned monologue

ceeded him as champion boxer of the
world.
The grand old gladiator is gray now. and
great of girth, but the heartiness that was
always his chief characteristic out of :he
ring and off the boards seems also to have
increased with his advancing weight and
years
His monologue is one that takes from
the tap of the gong-for the curtain, of
course. He jokes the audience with Jig
step and then naivoly remarks: 'Didn' [
think l could do it. did your
But nothing that Sullivan attempts TO do

bunch would believe him. And if he added
that as a tragedian he could put Booth

go.
And then he has stories but they are rot
going to be spoiled by being given out
here. Just go and hear John l. tell them

Don't think that John L. not get up
and push words along.
Has he not been an actor in many Plays
Even so, and he still has the honest heart
and willing hands of the village black
smith and the willing hands that made the
whip fly as Simon Legree when Sullivan
played that blackhearted villain in I'm
Gle Toms Cabin
But Sullivan is no Legree. He never was
built for a southern slave driver of he
fore the war period.
Talking with Sullivan in his dressing
room he told me of the tour he IS to ma ke-
He is booked through to the Pacific coast
the nice little sum of 81. 600 week. and
in California he will spend probably three
months New Orleans and other parts OF
the south will behold him also, and before
the season is over he should have nice

Il haven't taken a drink in five months,

Time and time again 1 have been asked
to share a bottle of wine, but I have re-

OF course the talk naturally drifted to
boxing, and Sullivan declared himself.

new rooms are being added to the struc-

more persons. The building is mainly Il
one story structure, spread over a big
plot of ground, with a commanding view
of the pine forests The architecture is
an evolution of primitive styles with
those of the present day. The best pic

a serious wreck and have all been dumped
in a heterogeneous mass upon Mr.. Whit

Ex-senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
