Pittsburg, Dec. 26.-The drought
which paralyzed industries in western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia,
has been broken and more than $4,000

Fifteen million bushels of coal, one
half of the amount loaded in barges
and boats here in the Monongahela
river, are being prepared for shipment
south. This will relieve fuel famine.
The coal dealers having a few tons Of
coal in their bins, were preparing to
ask for big prices, but the price OF coal
in Cincinnati, Louisville and other
cities along the Ohio will now be nor

st. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The an
nouncement that Russia is on the eve
OF abolishing the passport system
means that for the present the abolition
will only apply to Russians, and not
to foreigners, altho it is intended at the
end Of the war to abolish the system
governing foreigners also. The state
tax on the latter, however, will be re-
moved. leaving only Red Cross and in
valid fund taxes.
Abolition Of the passport system. in
Russia will work complete revolution,
not only in removing every individual
in the empires from constant surveil-
lance by the police, but in many other
ways increasing personal freedom. 1t
is impossible under the present system
for peasant to leave commune with
out an indorsed passport, or for di-
vorced wife to leave the husband 8 roof
without his permission. The abolition, so
far as tourists are concerned, will be a
great convenience, but it will have no
such deep and material significance as
in the case of Russians.

certain that in the matter of mile age thus operated this country will soon assume the lead, electrical ex- periments having been carried on to the extent that some very radical changes said to be contemplated. The New Haven road is opel atlng an electric suburban Ine in Connecticut. The Boston & Albany have in view the introduction of this service on its Brcokline line and the Pennsylvania road has given it a trial on its Mount Holly branch, while, in New York, the underground tunnel of the latter company, as well as that of the New York Central, is being equipped for electrical locomotives. Conditions in Chicago are extreme ly favorable for the use of electrical power. The Illinois Central has been studying the matter Tor the past five years, and is about to build an experimental plant for the operation of its suburban lines. The l Chicago elevated roads, it will be remembered, were operated by steam during the Worlds Fair year. but the operating expense, together with ruinous delays incident to making up the trains, was ssch that the change to the elect:ic system was effected shortly after.
 The interurban lines are proving a thorn in the side of the steam roads wherever the business is comped- tive, while their success simply de onstrates that the latter are not ab east of the times and are com pelled to shape their equipment in accordance with the modern ideas if they hope to show profitable results from the handling of this particular class of traffic
 Eastern Ohio has become a net work of suburban lines, and like ser vice has been established between Ann Arbor and Cleveland. Chicago and Milkaukee are similarly provided, and the same may be said to apply . Boston and New York It is he lieved that the steam roads operat- ing along the Atlantic coast will re the first to be compelled to substi- tnte electricity as motive power, owing to the congested business and heavy loss of revenue already sui fered from a class of competition which, under existing conditions, it is simply impossible to meet
 The effect of interurban campeti- ton has been seen in this country, as with the advent of the electrical line the fare between Houghton and Calu-
 ct "as cut in two and the local trains of it's steam competitor were withdrawn.
 Were 1t not for the developments in the electrical field, but little i'm
 DrtaIce would have been attached to the new copper discoveries of late years, while an idea of its importance as Q factor in consumption may be
 ound in the fact that the largest in dividual asset of the Boston Elevated roaG is it's copper wire, which are greater than are invested in either-the rolling stock or power plants.-Mining iaZette.

 Of Uemand
GROWTH OF TROLLEY LINES HAS HAD GREAT INFLUENCE
 IN CREATING USES.
For copper-Electrical Roads Have Gained In Favor and Use of Copper Runs Into Tremendous Proportions -ls One of the Largest Individual As sets of Boston Elevated.

The copper producing interests Of this country cannot but look with favor upon the approaching success full termination of arrangements for the handling of the heavy suburban traffic from and into the Liverpool terminus of the Lancashire & Yorkshire railroad by electrical motive power. From this it will be seen that while the American com panies have conducted endless ex- periments with electrical power, it remained for an English company to become the pioneer in substituting electricity for steam power for main line purposes. The contemplated change came in the nature of a neces- sity, as the business tributary to Liverpool had grown to such propor- tions as to more than tax the capa- city of the maximum facilities that could be provided, while, with the use of electrical power, the number of daily trains is to be increased from "A to 119.
 The main advantage, of course, will be found in the reduction of switch ing movements by eliminating the locomotive and the operations en- tailed by its use. The degree of success attained by the English com pany is sure to be closely watched throughout continental Europe, with its close towns and congested popula- ton which are sadly in need of an improved interburban service
 Factor in Copper Consumption.
 While it is generally understood that the broadened demand fer cop per Of late years has been due pri- marily to its new uses created as a result of new developments in the electrical world, the volume of the metal thus consumed is scarcely ap- preciated The Houghton County Street Railway, operated by Stone & Webster of Boston, a firm well known throughout the United States, is a fair sample of an interurban line in the matter of operating requirements. The road has a length of twenty miles and in its construction there were used 230,000 pounds of copper, equal 10 five and three-quarters tons per mile. this, of course, including the tonnage of the high tension and feed wires.
 With the above figures as a basts, an idea can be had of the enormity
 f the copper industry. The honor Of operating the first electrical street railway system was accorded the city of Richmond, Va, in 1888. For the few years following, the new service was looked upon with more or less suspicion, in consequence of which the horse-car and slot ma chine arrangements were but slight ly disturbed but notwithstanding this fact, there are today more than g. 900 miles of electrical railways in operation in the United Sta.es rn..- the number of miles built last year established a new record. The business in this direction for the cur rent year will be good, but will not equal that of 1903.

Henry Soule of Pultney St., Ham
mondsport, N. Y, says: For eight
years l. suffered constant agony from
kidney complaint. endured the
worst torture from gravel and the
kidney secretions were excessive and
contained sediment like brick dust. I
had to get out of bed from ten to
twenty times a night and the loss of
sleep wore me out. Indigestion came
on and the distress after eating was
terrible. Doan's Kidney Pills effected
a complete and lasting cure, and after
the symptoms Of kidney trouble were
gone my stomach began to work as
it should. This lasting cure, espe-
cially in person of my age, proves tho
great value of Doan's Kidney Pills
more convincingly than could any

ian Exposition Of Modern Wonders
Worlds Fair 1904 Is the Greatest
Well as the Most Supedos Entertainment that Was
Words Can Describe It's Magnifcence

Mr.. E. E. Stevens, editor Of the Min
neapolis Union. visited the Worlds
Fair at St. Louis few days ago, and
the following letter in the Union des-
cribes in part what his impressions
we're:
To Readers of "The Union:
I have been through the Worlds
Fair grounds again to-day for the
third time since coming to st.
Louis last week, and every day. the
wonder within me grows. I had
imagined from the descriptions that
the management intended to eclipse
anything ever before attempted, but
l had no idea of the tremendous size,
the magnificent designs, the splendid
settings, and the artistic beauty of
the buildings. I was somewhat pre-
pared to see something of the ordi-
nary, but my mind had by no means
grasped the splendors which will be
open to the visitors to the Worlds
Fair this summer. OF course the
grounds and the buildings at this
time are in chaotic state, and the
weather was unpropitious for pleas
ant visiting, but even with these
drawbacks, and with nothing but the
bare and in many cases but partially
finished buildings to be seen, the
