About 1 o'clock, however. the boat had been near, enough to the dock so that some of the male passengers crawled across ladder from the boat too the Rock. There was no dining lorbuffet on the train, and the passengers were a very hungry lot. Lunch was sent aboard for the women and children, and the men passengers who had crawled ashore scurried for something to eat. The train left for the east at $40 o'clock.

FREE COAL ASSURED.
Congress Expected to Take Action Speedily.

SPSSuliy.
 WASHINGTON, Jan 13-It is exA pected that congress will pass bill re- moving the duty of 67 cents ton on coal imported into this country. This bill may take the form of a rebate or drawback for ninety days and will also provide for reciprocity, admitting fires of duty coal imported into this country from countries granting the same privi- lege to the United States. This means Canada and will permit Nova Scotia coal to come into this country free, while coal from the Alleghanies and westward will go into Canada free of duty. The ways and means committee will meet today and, according to the present programme, report a bill on the above lines. 1t is expected that 1t will pass the house without delay.
 It will be taken up in the senate very soon, and the intention is to have it pass at an early date. It's considera- tion in the senate has not been ar ranged for but efforts are being made to expediate it's passage without amend ment and with little discussion. A num- Der of Republicans who heretofore have been opposed to changing the duty on coal said they would not oppose the bill provided it did not open up the whole tariff question. There has. been some general talk about an agreement the tariff question, and the Republican leaders expect the house bill will. be passed promptly by the senate.
 The house yesterday after adopting resolution to authorize the merchant marine and fisheries committee to in- vestigate the coal situation at once ad- journed out of respect to the memory of the late Representative Tongue of Oregon after the appointment of a committee to attend the funeral. The resolution to investigate the coal situa- tion recites the fact that a resolution has been introduced to extend the privi- lege of carrying coal to coastwise ports to foreign steamers for ninety days be- cause the present scarcity of coal i'm wolves great suffering and distress and authorizes the committee to investigate facts, charges and necessities, to in- quire into the clements and condi- tions involved in the coal trade, the cost of coal, the methods, facilities and cost of transportation and distribution of the same and the reasons or causes of such scarcity and distress"
 The committee is directed to report the testimony, with its conclusions thereon, to the house as soon as possi- ble. 1t Is given power to send for per- sons and papers, to administer oaths, etc, and incur such expense as may be deemed necessary. The meetings are 10 be held in Washington and in such otl CT places as the committee may deter mine.
 A lively discussion took place in the senate between Messrs. Aldrich, Vest and Carmack when the first named en- deavored to secure a postponement of the Vest resolution requiring the com mittee on finance to report a bill remov- ing the duty on coal.
 At 5:10 p. ID. the senate adjourned out of respect to the memory of the late Representative Tongue of Oregon.

&c a member, is the second largest fishery
in Dare county. This firm employs about
forty men, several boats and capital
of fen or twelve thousand dollars. They
use two sloops, the Defender and Os~
horne to bring the fish from their
fisheries to this city. The fish are re-
iced here and shipped to the Northern
markets.
Commenting on the advantage of the
new railroad to the fishing industry Mr..
Twiford said The Suffolk and Carolina
Railroad will be of great good in de-
veloping the fish industry of Eastern
North Carolina. AS it is now We have
no southern and western outlet. we
are compelled to ship to the Northern
cities which frequently become glUtted,
and our fish are disposed of at any price.
With the new road connecting Elizabeth
CITY with Suffolk, Va, where We make
connections with four leading lines, we
can ship our fish in every direction, and
this equal distribution will avoid any
glut and keep prices up.
San industry which the fishermen
would welcome gladly would be cold
storage in Elizabeth City where fish
could be kept at any season and distri
buted as the market demanded. Our peo-
pie could then fish at all seasons. the
markets would not be glutted, and the
industry would be paying one"

(BY HERBERT BREWsTER)

So far as is now known Zola's last work
was "Truth'-a remarkable piece of fic-
ton just published in an authorized
translation in this country. 1t was the
authors plan to complete series of
four books which he called ''the four
evangels." Labor and "Fruitfulness'
Were the first two. Truth, the. third,
was completed only few weeks before
Zola's death, so it is safe to say, the
fourth was not written.
The volume just issued is Zola's story
of the Dreyfus case. For the purposes
of airing his views on church and secular
schools and the persecution of the Jews,
the author advised the following plot:
A Jesuit priest, master of Catholic
school in small French town, commits
q horrible crime, the consequence Of
which, the whole Jesuit community Of
the neighborhood in order to clear itself,
cunningly and stealthily contrives to fix
upon the secular schoolmaster of the
district, Jew. The victim suffers trans
portation, and it becomes the mission of
the hero of the book, Marc Froment, a
brother secular school master Though a
Gentile) to Vindicate the innocence of the
Jew and lay the crime at the door of the
real culprit. Thus the experiences of
the hero are to a considerable extent the
reflection of Zola's own part in the Drey-
fus drama.

it admirably to the tastes and capablll-
