Great Coal Fleet Starts
for the Sunny South

There is a coal boat stage in the
Ohio river, and already many tow
boats have left Pittsburg with
their great fleets Of coal for the
Sunny South. 1t is expected the
river will reach a stage of from
Is to Is feet at Pittsburg by late
this evening. The bulk of the
rise is out of the Monongahela
river. 1t is estimated that $780,
600 bushels of coal left Pittsburg
yesterday and today. The coal
combine is anxious to ship every
bushel it can during the present
navigation stage of the rivers.
There is some ice in the river, but
it is not thought that it is heavy
enough to interfere greatly with
the tow boats and their immense
fleets. The rivermen at Pittsburg
have had the hustle on of their
lives for the past thirty-six hours,
and every tow boat possible has
been. or will be, started South by

tomorrow morning for Southern
ports.
The big tOwbOat Charley Brown
was the first to leave PittSburg.
The great boat steamed south
ward with a huge tow Of twenty
two barges at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning. The jim Moran fol-
lowed with seventeen coal boats,
two model barges and two coal
barges., The Moran was follow
ed by the Raymond Horner with
ten boats, twelve barges; Ed Rob-
erts, twelve boats, seven barges;
IrOnSides, twelve barges, twelve
boats. These boats were followed
today by numerous others.
The first of the great fleets are
due to arrive at this point some
time tomorrow. The tow beats
which got away on the Christmas
rise will NOW be able to get
back with empties, and this will
mean long period of activity for
the Monongahela river miners.

Something Unusual.

Special to The Oil Review.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 14.-Czar
Nicholas today issued orders of
the army in praise of the heroic
defense of Port Arthur by Gen.
Stoessel. and his garrison. Reads
Port Arthur has passed into the
hands of the enemy after strug-
gle lasting eleven months, during
seven of which the brave garrison
was isolated without hope. New
ertheless, they sustained the siege
and hardships without complaint,
determined that the enemy would
gain nothing without paying very
dearly. Let not this sorrow dis
courage you. Our enemy is
brave and strong, but Russia is
great power. During the National
life of 1000 years it has given
hard proofs of ability to over
come even more serious dangers
and has withstOod them. Each
time Russia has arisen more pow
erful than before and full of Be-
newed vigor. His order concludes
with: 81 am confident as is every
Russian, the hour Of victory is
striking; God will bless my dear
army and fleets in their efforts
to crush, the enemy and sustain
tie honor and glory of father
land

a delicate pink, with here and there a

DR.. BARTLETT AND
MARGARET FULLER

Margaret Fuller Ossoli, who before her
marriage spent much Of her time in Con-
cord, Mass, enjoyed the friendship of
such men as Emerson and Hawthorne,
who had high regard fer her. but she
was unable to convert al of her &C
quaintances into friends.
Old Dr. Bartlett. of that town, al
though very kind old gentleman, was
a little blupt in speech, and took q
strong dislike to her. One very dark

The tribulations of the stand pat ter' are many and now Germany has added one more. The treasury deficit was bad enough, the voraciousness of the trusts was worse, and now>comes Germany and declares her intention of assessing high discriminating duty on American products in retaliation for the Dingley tariff act. Of course most of Gelmany's importations from the United States consist of wheat, flour and other agricultural products so that it is only the farmers and not the trusts that will suffer from the dis crimination, but even the farmers may weary of continually contributing to the profits of the trusts. Even the worm has been known to turn.

The people are getting sick and tired of the way the gas and other monopo- lies are daily robbing them, and they are going to have something to say in the next municipal election about talk ing over these utilities and owning them so that they can regulate the price they are compelled to pay.

 vived the hopes of those democrats who
 have rejoiced at seeing the day when

 hopes that had become faint from the
 constantly repeated, although unwar-
 ranted, reports that the president
 would content himself with only such railway rate legislation as would prove acceptable to the railway managers. Then came the news of the unbounded enthusiasm with which the president had been received at the IroQuols cub of Chicago. that strong hold of the western democracy, the oldest demo cratic club in Illinois. where Mayor Dunne and the staunehest democrats in the organization cheered to the echo the words. not of a republican presi- 1 dent. but of the president of the United States.
