ALASKA COAL BILL
 MAY FAIL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The Alas ka coal lands leasing bill is in danger of failure at this session, due to the inability of the conferees to reach an agreement.
 The chief points of discussion are the differences in the Senate and House bills over the amount of royalty to be charged, and the arrangements for the disposition of existing claims
 The House bill fixes the minimum royalty at cents a ton without max imum. The Senate bill provides for a minimum of cents a ton and a maxi mum of cents. It Is contended by those who favor the House plan that the government would be able to get a huge royalty from the coal lands that are opened up by the govern men railroad, and thus secure money to pay for the construction of the road.
 The Senate amendment with refer ence to the disposition of existing claims provides that they shall be de- cided with reference to the laws and regulations that were effective when the claims were initiated.
