imperial family was somewhat damp

nese embassy here.
The treasures OF the imperial pal

OF the settlement at the end Of the
revolution. While the changes were
taking place there were persistent
rumors that the treasures were to be
sold in order to raise money for adj

probably travelled around the world.

republic. The princes have also pri-

for the dispersal Of the imperial art
treasures. Moreover, the bronzes and
many pieces of porcelain. treasures
which would be valuable from the
collectors point Of view, are sacred,
imperial house for centuries. They
have a historical value which makes
them priceless. and their sale would
be considered a disgrace to the Chinese
people.
1T is possible that the pearls and
gold ornaments, which are more or

may be sold privately, but not in Lon.

the stocks were pretty low.
The situation has changed mate
rally in the matter of hard coal. At
the beginning of the season it was
fully expected that this winter would
find the shortage here amounting to
fully 100000 tons. and perhaps more.
That has been educed by the fact that
coal SHIPPING has continued longer
because of the weather. and coal con-
sumption has been reduced for the
same reason. It is reckoned now that
the shortage will De not more than
200, 900 tons. and prhaps not that. In
fact, as on coal man said this morning,
II the open winter that is threatening

at all, and when he INDUCES in wild
dreams he sees a surplus on the docks
next spring. But that IS mere fancy
and the coal companies are hasing
their figures on an average winter
and a consequent average consunp-
ton.
One OF the dealers said that the only
shortage would be the natural in
crease in demand. which is figured at
about six per cent plus the shortage
of surplus which is usually found on
the docks each spring, which Is used

FORTUNE TO DEAD

The discovery OF Mrs. Nowill's BODY
raises an Interesting question as to

Ryanne consulted his watch, a cheap
