AFTER WOLCOTT'S SCAI.1.
dissatisfied Colorudo Republicans Desire
,a Successor to Their Senator.
Ey the United Press.
Denver, Col., Jan. 2. At a. Joint .ses
sion of the Republican members of the
legislature held last night. United
States Senator E. O. Woleott was, by
unanimous vote, nominated to succeed
himself. It Is thought that not all of
the Republicans who voted for Woleott
In the caucus can be held in line when
the formal ballot in the legislature is
taken.
An effort Is being made today to effect
, .n-eomblnation of Democrats, Populists,
and a half dozen dissatisfied Republi
cans to defeat Woleott and elect some
other Republican.

FOR THEATRICAL EFFECT.
The Story of tho llartlctt Seott Abduction
Is Discredited.
By the United Press.
Omnha, Neb., Jan. 2. Private dls
PHtches received here from O'Neill, the
Cunty seat of Holt county, are unani
mous lij the opinion that the so-called
ductlon of Bartlett Scott, the do
vultlng couny treasurer, was for the
Irlcal effect.
iSeott Is under $70,000 bonds pending a
clslon of his case In tho supreme

TO REGULATE PRICES.
Kallroad Coal Operators' 1 Association
' Seek Vniformity of Kates.
By the United Press.
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 2. The Railroad
Coal Operators' association, of the
Pittsburg district, held a meeting today
and passed the following:
Resolve, That It Is the sense of this
meeting thut we hold ourselves in readi
ness at uny time to meet those responsi
ble for the brcuklng down of the senile of
prices agreed upon, at the Columbus con
vention for the purpose of readjusting the
price to such a basis, us to bring about
one price for mining throiiuhout the dis
trict, and until such a result Is attained
the lowest price paid at competing mines
must of necessity be the price paid by
all the mines of the district.
At the meeting It was shown that tho
C9 cent rate had been shattered through
out the district, more than seventeen
mines paying 57 cents a ton, over a
dozen paying 60 cents, and Jiut a few
paying 55 cents. It is thought probable
that on Monday next a majority of the
operators will post notices ordering a
reduutlon to 55 cents or lower.
INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
An Ohio legislator proposes to build a
system of electric railroads to connect
every county seat in the state.
During November there were 146 rail
road aecldemts, including eighty-nine
collisions, eighty-four derailments and
Chree oUher accidents, in which twenty
two persons were killed and forty-six
injured.
By lake 2,485,255 tons of coal were
shipped from Buffalo during the past
season a decrease of over 200,000 tons
compared wiltlv 1S93, but with the ex
ception of the seasons of 18S8, 1S92, and
1893 tlhe shipments last season were the
largest on record.
. The number of cars and locomotives
fitted with automatic couplers on June
3, of the five yt'ars named below, was ns
follows, according to the staticlan of
the Interstate commerce commission:
1S89. 80,510: 18110, 115,311); ISM, 109,035; 1892,
244,334; 1893, 322,238.
All the sidings along the main line of
the Central, including Heaver Meadow,
Jeaiiesville, York town und Hazle Creek
Junction, are occupied with empty cars.
The collieries along the line of the Le
high Valley will be given a supply of
empty cars which will Insure ten hours
work per day for a week or two. The
supply will then be llmitod.
A tunnel has bcenstaitted In the Dra
per colliery, west of the Primrose slope,
third lift, and will be driven south, cut
ting the Holmes, Mammoth, Skldmore,
Seven foot and Buck Mountain' veins.
Another tunnel has been started in the
same colliery. It Is opposite and north
of the bottom of the same slope, third
lift, and will cut a now vein which has
not been worked. This vein has only
been proved on the surface. It Is
twelve feet thick and will be one of 1flie
greatest shippers In the lower anthra
cite field.
It Is said that naptha or wood alcohol
now brings only 27 cents per gallon,
whereas only a few yoars ago it sold for
75 cemts and $1 perigallon. Many per
sons In Wayne and Susquehanna are
of tihe opinion that this Industry will
never again resume Its former status.
They claim thait there are too many
now in the business. Those who were
doing well with one factory a few years
ago were not satisfied so built more
and the business became ruined. Tho
Manhattan comblne.also, has had much
to do with Injuring the business. It is
saild.
A tunnel hias been started at theabot-
tom, or fifth lift, of the Buck Mountain
vein slope In the West Shenandoah col
liery and will bo driven south ho as to
out the Seven Foot and Mammoth
veins, A new pair of engines are be
ing placed at the colliery. Each has a
30-inch cylinder and a 60-inch stroke.
The engines are the largest adopted by
the Philadelphia and Heading company
In this valley. When these Improve
ments are completed the shipments of
the colliery will bo very materially In
creased and employment will lie given
to a larger force of men than that now
employed.
The Reading Coal and Iron company
owns 86,068 acres of coal lands In
Schuylkill, Northumberland, Columbia
ond Morftour counties. It has leased
16,505 acres of coal land, and owns the
majority of the stock In coal companies
which own 10,774 acres. The total
amount of coal lands owned and leased
by the company Is 147,317 acres, upon
which there are 74 collieries. The capl
tsl stock of the company Is $8,000,000,
divided inito 160,000 Shares of $50 eaoh.
The Reading Railroad company owns
159,960 shares; the remaining 40shiares
nre held In the names of the directors.
The bonds of the company consist of
Purchase money bonds, $11,089,000;
bonus and mortgage on real estate,
$456,106.46; debenture bonds, $20,000; to
tal, $12,165,106.46. The railroad company
has guaranteed $11,479,000 of this.

Negotiations Between China and Japan
May Be Interrupted.
"ON TO TEKIN" IS THE SLOGAN
a pan Has Suspicions Regarding tho Good
Fulth of Representatives of tho Flow
ery kiugdom, and N'o; Decorations
Await Mr. Foster.
By the United Press.
Washington, Jan. "2. Danger threat
ens the peace negotiations between
China and Jaipan, and from present ln-
rtlca'tlons .it Is exceedingly probable
that hostilities may be renewed with
even .greater vigor, and the cry of "On
to Pi kin" once more become the slo
gan of the Japnnese forces.
Despite a prevailing belief to the con
rary, tt is not unlikely that the Japan
ese government will decline to make
further' 'postponement of the 'actual
commencement of the negotiations in
irder to await the arrival of Jolin W.
Foster, the Chinese advisory counsel.
and it is even probable that arrange
ments for the settlement of the dispute
will have been completed before Mr.
Foster rea'hs Hiroshima, where the
representatives of both the warring
powers will meet.
The danger that threatens the settle
ment, which has seemed such a certain
ty, will arise at this point, for the
Japanese government will refuse, with
out doubt, to agree to any temporizing
in the plea that Mr. Foster has not ar
rived and that the Chinese ambassa
dors cannot proceed without his assist
ance. It may be stated with some de
gree of posltlveness that a direct de
cllnntlon by the Chinese envoys to be
gin the negotiations until Mr. Foster
caches Hiroshima, will result In posi
tive disagreement and the breaking off
of the overtures, which will place the
possibilities tor peace farther away
than ever and cause the Japanese
forces to push their way with greater
vigor toward the Chinese capital. In
that event nothing short of the fall of
IVkln Is likely to put an end to hostili
ties.
Jnpnn Is Suspicious.
It has been known that for some time
the Japanese government is suspicious
of the good fulth of their enemies in
the overtures for a suspension of the
war. , The Japanese pence commis
sioners ure not likely to give any formal
recognition to Mr. Foster. He will cer
tainly not be allowed to attend the
sittings of the commission, provided
he arrives at Hiroshima before its busi
ness is cancelled, and if frequent re-
questsforadjournment are made by the
two Chinese envoys, in order that they
may consult with him, the Japanese
commissioners will probably refuse to
proceed further unless these requests
cease.
Mr. Kurlno, the minister of Japan to
the United States, said today that the
statement that John W. Foster re
ceived olllcinl notice from the Japanese
government that he would be cordially
welcomed to Japan as one of the Chi
nese representatives in the peace nego
tiations, was erroneous. No such no
tice has been given and Mr. Foster
has not been olllcially recognized by
Japan.
A statement published that Mr.
Foster will receive the highest decora
tions from Juplin If his mission Is suc
cessful receives Mr. Kutino's unquali
fied denial. He says no such promise
could be made or has been made at
this early stage of the proceeding.

export to Europe tomorrow; the gold re
serve down to the $84,000,000 mark with
the chances favoring a further reduc

weakness of the market. The abandon
ment of the Barle-Olcott plan for the
re-organlzatlon of the Reading, coupled
with the announcement that the holders
of the senior mortgages will Insist on
foreclosure, added to the bearish feel
ing. The selling, however, was chiefly
for the account of professional bears,
although new mouses were'employed to
do the bulk of the manipulation. The

(Action
to our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that they will this year hoi J to t licit- tmual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers uro
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
