NEW YORK MAY Freeze DURING
FIRST BLIZZARD.
SUPPLY NOT INCREASING
No Reserve on Hand and Receipts Be-
low Requirements Of
Cold Spell.

New York, Dec. 3.-Upon the
weather depends whether New York
will be visited by the greatest coal
famine in its history, says the Herald.
Men who are interested in the va
rious branches of. the trade declare
they cannot get more than day away
from the condition that existed at the
end of the coal strike, and they will
net be able to get further away this
winter. If blizzard should tie up
the railroads, three days will see the
few remaining tons sell at prices
which will make them luxuries.
At the Offices of the coal-carrying
roads it was said every effort was
being made to meet the test when it
comes, but there was little hope.
There is coming on the market
about 100000 tons of hard coal day.
About $4,000 tons of this comes to
New York The rest goes to New
England and Canada.
New Yorks actual demand in win
ter is about 10000 tons a day. The
supply, therefore, is about 1000 short.
President Lederle of the board of
health has ordered officials of the cleo
trio roads, nevertheless to show cause
on Wednesday why they should moi
abate the use of solft coal.

Helena, Dec. 3.-Capt. Guy H. Pres
ton, who died in Missoula Sunday ev-
ening, was a soldier in the Philip
pines, being captain of Company l Of
the Montana volunteers during the
stay of the Montana regiment in the
islands. He was a Helena man be-
fore he was commissioned and had
always shown a deep interest in mil
itary affairs, taking a leading part in
the national guard. For time he
lived in Lewistown.
After returning from the war he
located in Big Timber, and there he
lived until recently. A short time
ago he purchased a fruit ranch near

train.
The sheriff said at the depot that he
had no trouble whatever with
Madame La Bonita on the trip from
San Francisco and that she had been
a model prisoner. The woman her
self shows the effects of her recent
mental strain. She is much thinner
than when she lived in Butte and
new lines have come into her face.
A great crowd was at the depot to
see her. The more curious speed
lily found her in the Pullman, seated
with the sheriff. They eyed her curl
ously through the car windows, some
of the more audacious ones entering
the car and staring squarly into her
face. She stood the ordeal we'll, but
declined to talk to any one.

DEMOCRATIC
LEADERSHIP
THE HOUSE MINORITY LOOKING
FOR A GOOD MAN.
SEVERAL NAMES MENTIONED
De Almond of Missouri One Of the
Most Likely in the
Field.

Chicago, Dec "a Washington
special to the Chronicle says: Some
odd suggestions are being made in
connection with the leadership of the
minority in the next house of repre-
sentatives. The latest brings forward
John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi
as the probable successor of Mr..
Richardson. Mr.. Williams is undoubt-
edly one of the most talented men in
congress. He is brilliant debater,
scholarly orator, and one of the
best fellows in congress. Mr.. Will
liams, however, has never betrayed
qualities which would justify his
democratic associates in making him
their floor leader. He is mentally
equipped for the position, and pos
sesses all of the experience neces-
sary to be good leader, but he is
lazy.
1t is extremely doubtful if Mr. Will
liams could, by any process Of mental
and physical training get himself in
to condition to perform the duties
of floor leader, which are always ex-
acting. 1t is also doubtful if he would
be willing to assume the responsible
tiles Of the position.
If a change in the leadership of the
minority is made, and that seems al
together probable, Representative De
Almond of Missouri would command
a stronger following than any other
man on the, democratic side. His un-
yielding attitude last winter toward
the southern democrats, who sought
to sell out the minority on the Cuban
tariff bill, raised him to high place
in the estimation of his democratic
colleagues.
Mr.. De Almond is at present can
didate for senator, to succeed George
G. Vest, but former Governor Stone
appears to have the inside track in
that fight. The presumption, there
fore, is that Mr.. De Almond will serve
his full term as member of the Fifty
eighth congress.
The success of Representative ]. R.
Williams of Illinois in what was un-
derstood to be republican district,
has brought him forward as candf-
date for the minority leadership. Mr..
Williams has played conspicuous
part in the democratic politics of the
house of representatives for four
years, and, though he has not been
in sympathy with some Of the poll
cies Of the men who have usurped the
leadership and it's prerogatives, he
was in excellent standing with most
CT his party colleagues. Williams
possesses the advantage of being
very astute and level-headed man.
who would not be apt to get into diff
ficuties from which he could not eX-
tricate himself.

is ACCUSED OF ROBBERY
In Company With Albert Protein
Does Strong Arm Act on
Neil Mcdonald.

Helena, Dec. 3.-On the charge Of
strangling and robbing Neil McDon-
aid. Edward A. Smith, recently ac-
quilted of highway robbery, is again
under arrest. With him is Albert
Protein, well known to the local po-
lice. The robbery was brutal and
bold. 1t occurred at the Triangle
lodging house, near the Northern Pa
cific depot, shortly after o'clock this
evening. This is the story as given
by witnesses and the victim.
Mcdonald cashed $31 check in the
afternoon. Protein was with him at
the time. EARLY in the evening Pro-
tein asked a gambler for dollar. The
gambler refused the loan. Protein,
according to the gambler, then said:
81 am a thief and can go and get
more money in minute than you
can earn in week." go and get it.
then" the other is quoted as saying.
A short time later Mcdonald went
up stairs in the Triangle lodging
house to the room of E. F. Mitchell.
Mrs Mitchell was in the room at the
time. She says Smith and Protein
followed him closely. Then Smith
left the room for pitcher OF beer. a
moment later Protein and Mcdonald
followed him. Then came struggle
and call for help. Then crash
of glass. At this moment Mitchell
was going up stairs to his room. As
he came to a glass door in the stair
way a fist was thrust through the,
pane into his race Flying glass cut.
him badly. But he had time, he says.
to see Mcdonald struggling. Protein
had his arm about the mans neck and
Smith was going through McDonald's
pockets.
Blinded by blood, Mitchell went
down the stairs. When he returned
he found the stairway empty Nc
Donald himself only knows that he
went down the stairs with man
whom he identifies as Protein. He
knows he was robbed and Identifies
Smith as having been near by when
the robbery took place.
Mrs. Mitchell claims that Protein,
after the robbery, returned to her
room. and confessed to it, offering her
and her husband portion of the pro-
ceeds if they would keep still. She
saws that Protein has often boasted
to her and to her husband OF what he
would do if he were to start as
thief. Policeman Sears was notified
soon after the occurrence. With
Mitchell he started to find the rob-
bers. Mcdonald was taken to the
city Jail. Police Sergeant Hay joined
Sears at the depot later. While they
we're searching the railroad yards
Smith was discovered in a saloon. He
was kept under surveillance in the ex-
pectation that Protein would soon
ioin him. This proved to be true and
the pair was arrested. Protein claims
that he had nothing to do with the al
fair. Smith has made no statement.
According to Protein the two met
some time ago in Portland.
