RAPID PROGRESS
IN COAL INQUIRY
Railroads Eager to Furnish
Papers Called For.
ONLY ONE CASE OF REFUSAL
Poor Memory a Setback in Another
Instance, But Work Goes
on Smoothly.
ONLY ONE CASE OF REFUSAL

Unexpected progress has been made
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion in the investigation which it is
Tow conducting of the bituminous coal
situation under the Tillman-Gillespie
resolution.
Since the first meeting in Philadel-
phia when the special counsel for the
commission secured the minutes of the
association of railroads for the fixing
of coal rates to tidewater. the railroads
have seemingly been eager to make a
clean confession 10 the commission.
Tonnage complications, movements of
cars, agreements of rate associations,
in fact, nearly everything the commits
sion has requested. has been supplied
in full detail.
One Exception to Rule.
There has been only one exception
To the general rule. The Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and the Baltimore syndi-
cate that purchased its holdings in the
Consolidation Coal Company OF West
Virginia have failed to send in the
contract under which the railroad sold
TO the syndicate its holdings, amounting
TO something like 100000
Clarence w Watson, president Of the
syndicate, refused to furnish what he
said was a private paper.
Hugh l. Bond. Jr.. second vice presi-
dent Of the Baltimore and Ohio, told the
commission that fl was not fair to the
syndicate for him to make public the
terms of the contract. The commission
viii further urge the Baltimore and
Ohio TO furnish a copy Of the document.
and. backed by the authority Of Con-
gress. it will probably be successful.
1t is regarded as of much significance
that a railroad should dispose Of 5000
coo worth of coal lanS, IN the midst Of
the investigation.
One Case of Bad Memory.
The commission will now endeavor to
ascertain for whom Mr.. Watson, as
trustee. held 70 .995 shares in the Fair
mont Coal Company. Watson had for
gotten when on the witness stand for
whom he held them. Despite the fact
of his poor memory. he said the persons
Interested had such confidence in one
another that the agreements We're not
pUt or paper; therefore there are no
books 20 show for whom the stock was
held.
Special Counsel Whitney and Glasgow
are going over the testimony and dOcu-
mentary evidence for the commission,
with view of mapping out the further
plans for the investigation. Hearings
will be resumed within ten days. when
the commission returns from its trip
through the West

Der of troops are quartered on Basil
Island. as II is anticipated that if any

There were numerous small meetings
Of delegates TO the douma last evening
where the discussions were practically
unanimous that the first session of the
national assembly will be a stormy enc.
owing to the determination of the gov
ernment TO maintain the autocracy at
any hazard. The general feeling is one
of complete distrust of the government.
One OF the leading deputies in an inter
view with a correspondent said this
morning:
We recognize the serious nature of
the task before us. Our efforts will be
directed not to passing legislation bring
ing temporary relief to Russia. but to
the larger duty Of establishing the
supremacy of the peoples rule over au-
tocracy. Our work will be very difficrIt.
We feel that our position is not similar
to that of the state general of France.

Russia is not bankrupt as France was

its sheath, and took the cudgel be-
tween my teeth. Then I shook hands
with my friends, not needing a last
look Of entreaty from Fritz, and laid
hold of the rope. l was going to have
a look at Jacobs ladder.
Gently l lowered myself into the wa

day had been warm and bright and
the water was not cold. / struck out
and began to swim round the great

the business in hand, l rested a mo-
ment. If Johann's description were
right / must be near the window now.
Very slowly 1 moved, and out of the
darkness ahead loomed a shape. it
was the pipe, curving from the window
to the water. About two feet of its
surface was displayed; it was as big
round as two men. l was about to
approach it when I saw something else
and my heart stood still The nose of

"And the Duke interferes?"
Well" said Rupert meditatively:
that's hardly a fair way of putting it.

'And she prefers the Duke?''

bow, he pricked his horse and trotted
after the body of his friend.

Wicked men 1 have known in plenty,
but Rupert HentZau remains unique in
my experience. And if there be anoth-

Hes very, handsome. isn't he?" said
Flavia.
Well. of course she didn't know him
as I did; yet 1 was put out. for
thought his bold glances would have
made her angry. But my dear Flavia
was q woman, and so-she was not put
out. On the contrary, she thought
young Rupert was very handsome-as,
beyond question. the ruffian was.
"And how sad he looked at his
friends DEATH" said she.
He'll have better reason to be sad
at his own" observed Sapt, with a grim
smile.

Silver Dollars.

Editor National Tribune: In the last
issue of your excellent paper / notice
a communication from Dr. Wade Price.
of Cartersyille. 1. T., asking about the
first silver dollars coined in the United
States. In 1894 the first dollars were
coined, but the mint records do not
show how many We're coined during
that year. During the years 1894 and
1895 there We're coined 204,791 silver
dollars. I have a fine silver dollar of
1895, with Is stars and a flowing head
of hair on one side. This dollar was
coined during the early part of 1875.
During the latter part of the year 1895
another kind of dollar was coined. the
hair being tied with a ribbon. This
dollar is known as the fillet head. The
Doctors dollar of 1877, while one
among the earliest coined. is not by
any means the first one coined. OF the
1897 dollars there We're coined 7,770.
All these dollars up to 1905 command n
premium.-J. A. Capen, Sedalia, Mo.

Are you cooked, too, Krafstein?" he

For we seemed to have him. He
