tinues hopeful and The best opinion favors the

as two months ago time money was unobtainable

Washington, April 24.-At the request
Of Representative, Tawney, who acted at

nation they will furnish includes the pos
sibility of the extension Of trade in Amer

Cured early this morning in the Dominion coal

Is not yet known how serious the explosion was
