Steel Trust to Mine It's Coal.


A dispatch from New York last night
says:
Business relations between the United
States Steel Corporation and the Pittsburg
Coal Company. the big soft coal combina-
ton Of western Pennsylvania, will termi-
nate tonight with the expiration of con-
tract which has been in force for more than
a year between the two companies.
1t became known yesterday in Wall street
that the contract will not be renewed, and
that the coal company will lose it's biggest
customer by the rupture. The event is re-
garded in financial circles both in this city
and Pittsburg as of the greatest impor-
lance, for the reason that the Pittsburg
Coal Company has been attempting to mar
ket some securities for several months past.
Conferences have been held between the
representatives Of the subsidiary companies
Of the United States Steel Corporation and
the officials Of the Pittsburg Coal Company
with view to arranging a new contract,
but these negotiations. 1t is learned, failed
absolutely, and the contract will be allowed
to lapse
Word has been sent to the officers of the
Steel Trusts coal companies to make imme-
date arrangements to begin mining coal
Inc Steel Trust has bought annually in
the past between 100000 and g. COO 600 tons
OF coal from the Pittsburg Coal Company
IT Is now proposed to take two thirds of
this amount from the coal properties of the
United States Steel Corporation. and the
rest will be bought from the Independent
producers in the Pittsburg and Ohio dis
tricts.
The failure Of the officials Of the two COM
panies to agree on proper price for coal
is given as the cause of the rupture be-
tween the two corporations. In addition,
1t Is thought that the business relations of
the two companies have been strained for
some time and that the present development
is the result Of friction.

ment for the advancement of the candidacy

RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.

After many delays vexatious alike to COM
mercial interests in this country and Cuba,
a treaty between the two countries was
finally consummated when President Roose-
velt on December II. signed the reciprocity
bill which had been passed by the Senate
the day previous. AS the treaty had al
ready been ratified by the Cuban congress,
the Senate provided that it should go into
effect ten days after the date of passage.
Under the provisions Of the bill all duti-
able articles imported from Cuba will come
into the United States at reduction OF 70
per cent on the scale established by the
Dingley tariff BILL Cuba agreeing on her
part to admit dutiable goods from this
country at reduction of from 20 to 40 per
cent on the established tariff of that coun-
try.
One difficulty which it is feared may arise
over the new treaty is that other nations
with which this country has commercial
treaties may demand that the same conces-
sions be made in the case of their products.
England, Austria and Germany are all SUI
gar producing countries and 1t Is possible
may make a demand for the same conces-
sions under the most favored ma tons clause
of their treaties with the United States as
those extended to the island republic.

ENGLAND's TARIFF POLICY

One of the international sensations of the
year was the break up in the British cabi-
net over the question of the tariff.
Under the lead of Joseph Chamberlain
several members of the old Salisbury cabi-
net resigned and took the stump in favor of
"a tariff Their speeches as rule were
fairly well received even in the manufac-
turing towns. where a tariff is generally
considered to mean de3rer living for the
