ceives kilograms Appealing for
Aid-WaIker, Mimi, Without Fuel,
Oil or Candles.

Washington, Jan. 23.-'The coal fam.
inc situation in North Dakota has be-
come so serious that Senator Hans
brough will confer with President
Roosevelt to see If federal means
cannot be found to relieve the stu
alton. Before taking this course, how.
ever, the senator sent a telegram to
Gov. Burke asking whether the state
authorities will be able to find Il way
to clear the blockade an let into the
state u coal supply.
That the governor will be able to
meet the situation without assist
ance is regarded as unlikely. Telc-
grams appealing for relief were laid
before the interstate commerce COM
raission by Senator Hansbrough Tues
day. Some of these dispatches de-
clare that tho statement issued by
the Great Northern railroad that the
blockade had been lifted on that line
is not true. 1t is said also that a
large supply of coal destined for
North Dakota is being held at a juno.
ton point in Minnesota pending set
tleraent Of demurrage charges on the
cars. This is being Investigated by
the interstate commerce commission.
A recent dispatch from Calvin said
that place was almost out of coal,
and no relief in sight. Out of 10 cars
consigned to that town since Decem-
Der only four have been received.
A Hastings dispatch said there was
no fuel or -four OH hand and that
the people were suffering.
Coal, oil and Candle Famine.
Walker, Mimi, Jan. 23.--Walker has
exhausted it's coal supply and there is
also a famine OF oil and candles for
Illuminating purposes. The electric
light plant was obliged to shut down
Saturday evening owing to lack Of
coal. AS a greater part of the resi-.
dences in the village are using cleo
trio lights, d run was made on the
kerosene tanks and by nine o'clock
every drop of oil in town had been
bought up, as the merchants were
caught unawares. Then followed the
candle brigade and by Sunday night
there wasn't a candle in the village
on sale. Now kerosene is luxury
in the village, while tallow candles
are considered a necessity. Many
homes have neither and unless oil is
received today many of the homes
will be in darkness this evening, while
majority of the merchants will have
to shut up shop. Freight is moving
slow and the merchants find it al
Klost as hard to secure oil as they
do coal.

that Swettenham's letter was the act
of an individual is much appreciated
here. Public opinion continues to
strongly denounce the governor of
Jamaica, although a small element
take the ground that he should have
a fair chance of defending himself. The
Evening Standard concisely sums up
the prevailing sentiment as follows:
"Sir Alexander Swettenham commit
ted the gross and objectionable blum
der of writing letter to Admiral
Davis which bore all the appearance
of a carefully studied insult. Even If
he received vexatlous provocation
from the Americans, no shred of JUST;
tication can be urged for the letter.
The only course it leaves open to him
and to his countrymen is to apologize
to the nation to whose officer it was
directed"

ham $4,000, the first installment of
the Mansion house fund, which now
totals 100000.
