CHINESE
DEP0RTED
United States MarshaIs Bring
Them to Providence EnrOute
fOrSan Francisco via Norfolk

A great deal OF attention was attracted
this morning In the Union station and on
Exchanwe place and Washington street
by the presence of 81 Cinnamon. OF all
ages. but most of them young, who were
in the custody OF Is United States deputy
marshals.
The would-be laundrymen came here
from Worcester and to that city from
Albany. They were the result OF numer-
Gus round-ups along the border from
Maine to Michigan, and when suffi-
cient number had been collected the
party was sent east. The Cinnamon and
the marshals will go from this city on
the steamship Dorchester OF the Mer-
chants and Miners line and on arrival at
Norfolk will continue on TO San Fran
cisco for deporta ton.
The marshals and their prisoners left
Worcester this morning at sos and reach
ed this city At 9:3s. After the prisoners
were rounded up they were taken to
Washington street restaurant fer their
breakfast. and this partaken OF the pris-
oners returned to the Union station for
the numerous bundles OF baggage they
had.
United States Deputy Marshal J. Mum
roe Bennett OF Albany was in charge and
he said that the majority Of the prisoners
were arrested I'm Syracuse. Utica and AL
bany. The marshals had had no trouble
on the trip, the prisoners being congre-
gated at Albany and leaving that city on
the Boston a. Albany road.
After the prisoners had collected their
property they were loaded into two big
moving wagons and taken to the steam
ship. which will sail this evening at s
o'clock. The gathering of the marshals
with their charges attracted a considera-
BILE number OF people, including a number
OF Cinnamon OF this city. who were great
ly concerned in the proceedings and who
sought to have conversation with their
countrymen.
Because Of the gathering of the peo-
pie while the prisoners were being load
ed into the party wagons In Francis
street the services OF several policemen
were necessary TO keep the spectators In
check The prisoners, while knowing the
fate in store for them, seemed perfectly
indifferent TO what was going on. but

HARD COAL
HAS NOT
ARRIVED
Expected Cargoes Have Not Ap-
peared and Dealers Are Sending
Out What They Have on Hand

The local supply Of coal. which was ex-
pected TO receive considerable additions
today. did not increase, however. simply
because the dense fogs along the coast
delayed the tows which were expected In.
The local dealers. all of whom have
more or less coal now afoat. say that
they are having all they can do to attend
TO their clerical work. so rapidly have the
orders accumulated, and the Eastern Coal
company closed Its Office at noon today
to permit the clerks to catch up with the
work on hand
The other offices were not closed save
at the usual hour. The Eastern Coal
company expected the barge Parker in
this morning, but at noon the barge was
not In sight, and IL was considered use-
less 10 think OF getting the barge along
side the wharf before Monday. The COM
pany has other cargoes to come and the
prospects were considered fair for get
ting them. While the weather has been
good the fogs have been heavy, and this
is a condition which cannot be effectively
combatted.
John r.. White & Son have nothing left
but Scotch house coal but by the FIRST OF
the coming week Ii Is expected that addi-
tional bargeloads Of this coal Will be re-
ceived. The firm also expects some
Pennsylvania anthracite but the time of
its arrival is indefinite. The smaller
dealers have various quantities coming,
but they have experienced the same OBJ
stacles as the others. difficulty I'm getting
coal and the delay because of the wea-
ther conditions.
The supply OF soft coal has been fairly
kept up. but hard coal is difrcult to OBJ
tain, and the prices which have been paid
are much larger than expected. II would
not be surprising to see the price of soft
coal nearly. If not quite. at parity with
anthracite coal for some weeks to come,
unless decided changes are made by the
operators.
There has been no change IN the prices
OF coal today. and the prices OF wood are
the same as recently established.

II Is a long time since q 3-alarm fire oc-
Cured in this city. hence when the big
bells began to pound out "a this morning
and twice repeated the box number there
was a large response on the part OF citi-
gems whose curiosity got the better OF
an inclination to turn over and take an
other nap.
The first alarm came in al 4:i0 o'clock
and was pulled by Lieut.. Allen OF Hose Z.
on Richmond street
A patrolman had discovered a flare OF
flames on the roof of the old portion OF
the Weeks Bros. confectionery manufac-
tory and had notified Hose T.
At that time IL was supposed that the
fire would amount to but little but as
soon as Lieut.. Allen sized up the situa-
tion he pulled the box.
ADDITIONAL ALARMS.
The other alarms came In quick success
sion necessarily 80 for the reason that
the flames had got into the larger build
ing and n confiagration was threatened.
The fire originated In the second story
OF what was for many years the Rich
mond street grammar school building.
This was the cocoanut and popcorn de-
partment and while there was no gas left
on at any OF the furnaces and everything
secured all Sa1e at CLOCK last HlsHt,
the fire no doubt originated around one
OF the furnaces at which candy was pre-
pared.
The new building. 8 stories in height.
was erected by F. A. Weeks about 3
years ago.
II was separated from the old buildings
by nreproof doors: but one az these on
the Sd floor was left open last night.
The flames made quick work OF the old
brick structure and running up an ele-
yator shaft, cut across and went through
fhs door that had unfortunately been left
open.
Then the fire became so hot and the
flames shot out OF the windows with such
faerceness that the department seemed
for a few minutes to be held powerless.
FUMES OF AMMONIA.
There was a cooling plant on the third
Aoor in which ammonia was used. and
when the FIRE reached one OF the tanks
ths latter was burst. the fumes chok-
ing and driving back the firemen.
However the big steamers got to work,
ahe building was deluged and by $3.50 the
IRE was out.
There was good work done in the earlier
stages OF the fire.
In the rear Of the big shop Is n barn
IN which were seven horses and big ST.
bernard dog. In room over the staoie
Charles Pierson was sleeping.
The stable was 20 filled with smoke that
IL occupants were almost gone.

alleged to have said that any trust legis-
lation which did not specially exempt or
ganized labor from it's operations would
meet the unquestioned opposition OF all
the labor forces, and asked the witness
If that expressed his Views.
Mr. Mitchell replied that organized
labor would not look with favor upon any
law that would legislate them out of
business.
L1vIN GwAGEs
Mr.. Mitchell answering further ques-
tions said he regarded as living wages
for a miner not less than $500 per annum
which would cover his actual necessities
and permit him TO educate his children.
At this point Judge Gray asked the
witness II he meant TO say a wage suffi-
cient to permit the children TO avail them
selves of the public schools or TO spend
q portion OF the family income directly
for education, and sufficient TO render
II unnecessary TO employ child labor 70

witness answered In the affirmative.

COMPANY AND CAPITAL.
The business was done by the Weeks

$4,000
The officers are f. f. Packard. presi-

1t employed 65 hands. was run to its
fullest capacity and was doing a splen1id
business.
On Nov. 1st the company began to
manufacture for the Christmas trade and
had already boxed large quantity or
such goods.
Every bit OF machinery was ruined and
all the stock not made up, and that in
process OF manufacture was lost.
The bulk OF the Christmas stock, which
had been piled up on the ground floor
was covered with tarpaulins by the Pro-
tective company and most OF It was
saved.
The old building was gutted from tie
second story up and the new one from
the third story up.
The Taylor CARD and Box company.
manufacturers OF jewelers. cards and
metal-edged boxes, had a part OF the
second floor OF the new building.
PROTECTED BY TARPAULINS.
The candy business had increased to
such an extent that that room could no
longer be spared and the Taylor company
had begun TO move. SO that and the ma
chinery was In the building. This was
well protected by tarpaulins. but some
damage may result from water and heat.
The Weeks Brothers companys officers
refused to make any statement as to the
value OF the plant before the fire. the

competent Judge was of the opinion
that $4,000 would cover the loss on both
buildings and that $4,000 would he a very
generous estimate of the loss on stock,
