Twenty cars have already been un-

be emptied there. Another basis of
supply has been made at Keithsburg
for the eastern and Illinois divisions.

Local Supply Fair.
Inquiry among the larger coal deal
ers this morning has resulted in ascer-
tanning that the local supply OF coal
is very fair. None of the yards have
an unusually large supply, but each Is
very we'll fixed in case a strike should
result Coal men sufficiently in touch
with the situation estimate there Is
sufficient coal to last, should no more
come into the city, until April 1. and
possibly longer. An attempt has been
made to get a good stock on hand, but
the Iowa Central has been confiscating
large shipments for its own use. which
has lessened the amount received by
dealers. 1t is believed the mines have
but little on hand and are shipping
about as fast as 1t is being mined.
Among the local dealers there is a very
hopeful feeling that the Iowa miners
will not vote to strike.

Aidinq The Vulcan Fund.

The more the Vulcan fund is aided the more advertising the state will re- ceive. Vulcan and Vulcan's exhibits are all this state has at St. Louis, and it is really all this state needs to have there. Our other resources are well known, but our possibilities in iron, steel, coal, colSe,. cement rock, marble and the like are not well known, and the exhibit in the Mines palace at St. Louis will benefit this state largely.
 Governor Cunningham and Commits sioner of Agriculture Poole have de- cided to aid the Vulcan fund to the extent of from $500 to $2500. This is not as much as the state should have given. It is not as much as the richest tax-paying district in this state had a right to expect. It is not as much as was expended at Atlanta, Nashville or Buffalo, althoug.- St. Louis outranks any or all of those expositions. But  it is better than no appropriation at all
 The truth IS, twenty thousand dol lars could be placed at St. Louis so that a handsome return would come from it. The preparation.of pamphlets showing the resources of this state is well advanced, and these pamphlets will be reely distributed at St. Louis. If our wealth of cement rock alone cen be made known at St. Louis all outlay on the part of our citizens would be handsomely repaid. People in other states have an indefinite con ception of our mineral resources, and it is necessary to bring home to them the actual facts of the situation-to place exhibits of our mineral wealth where they can be seen, and touched, and even analysed.

MT. Hit and MT. Folk.

The presidential race changes every week. Last week brought in Robert Roberts Hit who is now bookel as MT. Roosevelt's running mate. He has represented an Illinois distrlcr twenty years was born in Ohio, and has no enemies in the distracted and con- tested state that contains boisterous and uncertain Chicago. He is 70 years old, and he is expected to bring har- mony into Illinois republican ranks, where it is greatly needed.
 MT. Hit frankly says he wants the place if he can get it, and his very frankness and the Illinois situation will no doubt bring him tho coveted honor. Incidentally he shies a ball at those who consider themselves so great as to be above the vice.presi- dential nomination. He says he is not. and dle seems to think others are shamming. He evidently considers it, in the light of our history, as possi- ble and easy road to top place We have had five accidental Pres:.er r {.

Illinois Central is Here.

The Illinois Central has come in even ahead of the Seaboard. The Illinois Central gives the Frisco en- trance to New Orleans, and the Frisco in return gives the Illinois Central an entry to the city and district. The sbargain is to last for ninety-nine years, and it is a good bargain for both.
 This brings the Illinois Central here under the best o1 circumstances so far as terminals and connecting links with mines and mills are concerned, for the Illinois Central gains the use of all the tracks open to the Frisco. This much is not stated in the dispatch cov- ering the subject, but no doubt the terminal privileges granted are recip- rocated
 This Is better than an independent entrance, or rather it is quicker. 1t is to last for ninety-nine years, which is as good as fee title so far as liv- ing persons are concerned. At the end of ninety-nine years the balloon routes may have superseded all land lines, anyway.
 Birmingham's railroad facilities are rapidly outrunning those of any other southern city. This is because of twenty-five millions of tonnage. Our tonnage exceeds that of any southern city, and If New Orleans be excepted it exceeds the tonnage of any other five southern cities. This is why all railroads are headed this way.

Tennessee's Senatorial Race.

The democratic caucus of the Ten nessee legislature will consist of just about one hundred members, and of this number General Bate seems to have secured about half, while Gov ernor McMillin's sure vote is but eighteen. When General Bate carried without difficulty the primary in Shelby county, the contest was practi- cally settled, for the county in which Memphis is located has twelve demo- cratic votes.
 The claims of the two candidates are confusing, because they are claim ing republican counties. The county in which Chattanooga is situated, for example, generally goes republican in presidential years, and neither side can safely depent upon it's members of the next legislature. But when all possible republican counties are elim- mated, it Is seen that General Bate has very nearly half of the democratic members of the next legislature in- structed for him, and he will readily gain majority from the forty mem- bers who have not been nominated. He is the winner. He is a remarkable survival of the civil war in which lie was wounded many times, and from which he emerged major general, his promotions having been won in battle
 Governor McMillin is still a candi- date, but it r. r'7in he will have to defer his aspirs ms six years. AS a rule the old soldier cannot be de- feated, and General Bate is notable war veteran in Tennessee.
