Editor Providence News:
read the letter signed j. T. Padan in

an increase In pay to sl0.5o, as suggested.
someone would soon begin TO make
fuss at olu men getting this pay for the

At the Providence Opero House last
evening, for one night only, 'Rorleu and
juliet" was produced by distinguished
company of dramatic artists under the
direction OF Liebler and CO. The produc-
ton is staged by Mr.. Eugene Presbrey
The language Is quoted from the pro-
gram-a distinguished company OF dra-
matte artists. II sounds much less callow
than the more familiar "all star cost.
II is in perfect taste and besides, Is an
accurate expression of the fact.
No company OF dramatic artists more
distinguished I'm every part was probably
ever assembled for the production OF this
or any other play.
The "all star" cast idea originated for
road purposes several seasons ago.
IL afforded comfortable Jaunt To the
large number OF stars and principals and
leading men and leading women concern
cd n pleasant sort OF a sojourn at the
end Of the season after the breaking up
OF the respective companies.
II was picturesque idea and 1t caught
the public.
Cool headed observers Of things theat-
rical were disposed TO regard the all star
production as something OF hodge
podge. n dramatic crazy quilt IL was in-
teresting OF course, and worth the price
ing together all at once But SO far as
the production was concerned, the per-
formance usually wouldn't owe much TO
it's burden OF high talent quickly got to-
gether and enjoying n theatrical picnic.
There were evidently possibilities I'm the
idea. however beyond the mere novelty
OF the thing. and good deal OF such pos-
sibilitics was disclosed last evening by
the distinguished company OF dramatic
artists who had been brought together
by the enterprisinE Liebler for the pro-
ductlon OF shakespeares most popular
story
Here was gathered company that de-
monstrated as great distinction in the
particular parts assigned Co them as they
had I'm other dramatic fields. while n con-
siderable number OF them were already
distinguished in Shakespearean ro1es.even

DIsCLAIMS COMPLETELY.
Prince Peter says He Had Nothing to
Do with the Assassination.

GENEVA, June 12.-Prince Peter Kara
georgovitch, the newly proclaimed King of
Servia, gave an interview to-day in which
he repeated his disclaimer of any compile
ity direct or indirect, in the assassination
of King Alexander and Queen Draga He
expressed his detestatiOn of the crime and
gave a brief outline of his political tenden-
ces. Replying to a series of direct ques-
tions, Prince Peter said:
at is true my partisans have complete
organization in Servia, with which L am in
frequent communication. l know from
other sources that the discomfort of the
Servian people had reached its height. but

GOVERNOR DURBIN'S TRIP
WILL GO TO WASHINGTON TO CON-
SUIT WAR DEPARTMENT.
The Suit Against Him by Jacksonville
(FIa.) StOrekeeper, Which He Won,
Has Been Appealed.

Governor Durbin will leave for Washing
ton this evening to look after some bust
ness matters incident 10 the legal contro-
versy in which he became involved at Jack
sonville, Fla, as the result of his closing
a store or canteen conducted near the quar-
tiers of his regiment while encamped there
during the Spanish-American war.
The suit against the Governor. which was
decided I'm his favor few months ago, has
been appealed, and will be heard in the
Federal Court at New Orleans at an early
date. The Governors visit to washington
at this time is to see the officials of the
War Department in regard to furnishing
him with an attorney for the new litiga-
ton
The Governors troubles growing out of
the Jacksonville affair are seemingly with
cut end. The first suit against him for
damages for closing the store was decided
adversely, and the storekeeper was given
a verdict for $500. The Governor paid this
promptly as the easiest way out OF the
difficulty but the storekeeper at once
brought another action for personal dam
ages, claiming that the Governor had mis-
treated him and reViled him.
Among other allegations, he charges that
the Governor called him a damn whelp"
repeatedly. and instructed the guards he
stationed around the store TO run bayonet

admits calling the man "whelp." but he
denies that he eaabsllished the epithet with
any profanity, and as Tor the order 10 the
guards, the Governor says he certainly did
not want TO toast or broil the sutler for
breakfast, and would have had no reason
for wishing him spitted on bayonet
IL viii not be necessary for the Governor
TO make the trip To New Orleans when the
appeal cones Up. as the appeal is made on
a legal technicaity merely. and his attor-
neys can look after his interests.

WESTERN COAL TRADE.
Pronounced Pressure to Secure An


Pronounced Pressure to Secure An.
thracite-soft Coal Firm.
CHICAGO. June 12.-The Black Diamond,
reviewing the Western coal market, to-
morrow will say:
1.-THE anthracite markets of the West
reflect little change from last week. There
continues to be pronounced pressure to
procure coal from all the important terri
tories supplied from the leading distribut-
ing points, and far Western business is in
creasing In volume which is making the
demand fully as active as at any time. Re
tailers In some quarters say that the bust
heavy as it was, although most dealers are
willing TO concede that they still have all
the business that they care to handle.
I'm the Western soft-coal markets there
continues to be a firm tone on most Eastern
bituminous Goals, with Western still ragged
and suffering in price from the pressure to
sell before demurrage charges become too
heavy. In other words, demurrage Goals
from Western fields are domino ting the
market, and until the movement shows a
slight Improvement, 1t Is probable that
prices will not recover TO the full circular
basis.
1.-THE new price circular on anthracite
Goals. which became effective the first OF
the month is being well maintained 1t
continues to be a matter or obtaining the
coal and not a question of price Dealers
do not even inquire or designate the prices
when sending in orders. They are after
the coal, and, while no premiums are be-
ing charged in Western territory it is
probable that in some instances they might
be obtained on egg and the larger furnace
sizes.
I'm the bitumnous trade while the lead
ing Western markets, such as Chicago. st.
Louis and other points, are suffering from
dernurrage coal, there are indications of a
slight movement towards better conditions
Travellers who have returned from the road
during the week report that the dealer
trade is taking a more active interest i'm
bitumnous than il has heretofore, while
rather than the exception. In some in
stances IL is probable that low prices have
attracted the attention of the dealers, but
in others the better interest has been slim
ulated by the approach of the season when
they will begin TO stock coal in anticipation
of the fall demand.
