In spite of officially Inspired denials, some responsible newspapers persist In the assertion that n ministerial crisis is merely postponed. The Hanover Courier Insists that a cri sis Is latent, the emperor persistlnir in his notion of asking the relchstag for a large Increase of naval credits for the construction of additional warships, etc., which Prince Hohenlohe has Ue flnred It to be Impossible to obtain. Dr. Stoecker. formerly court chaplain, lias resigned his membership In the con servative pnrty, owing to the opposition caused by his refusal to declare himself against the Christian Socialist move ment. The colonial council are discussing a new emigration law, which proposes that all emigration from Germany shall be state directed. The aim of this bill Is to regulate emigration so that the main stream thereof shall be guided to the German colonies, Instead of foreign countries. The emperor has again offered to con fer upon Dr. Miquel, Prussian minister of finance, an hereditary barony, but the doctor has declined the dignity,, upon the ground that he is not suffi ciently wealthy to support the dignity and titls after he shall cease to be in office. The Vorwaerts, the socialist organ, tnallctouslv remarks that Dr. Miquel refused the barony because he was afraid to face the disclosures of letters which, when he was a young man, he wrote .to the socialist agitators Marx nd Engel, denouncing the nobility. The Vorwaerts came Into possession of these letter after the death of Engel. RAILROAD NOTES. The trunk lines have been requested by the Oceanic Steamship company to make a material reduction In overland rates. It wants them to enable it to base on a $04 first-class rate and a $"8.&0 rate from New York to San Francisco In the construction of through rates to Australian ports. These are the rates which it clulms the Canadian Pacific 1s basing on from New York to Van couver, and It desires to be put In po sition to meet the same rates without cutting Its own share of the tariff. The trunk lines have referred the matter to the Western roads, and the Inttor will have a consultation with the, Canadian Pacific before they take any action, as the Canadian Pacific Is a member of the Western fassenger association, and they are bound to protect its Interest against those of any outsider. A Western oaper says: "It has been the policy of the Big Four Railway company for the past three years. In putting In new side track room at their stations, to Place the Improvement on the south, side ot their main track. A great many miles of this track have been rut In and It Is the general be lief that the company expects in the near future to use the Improvement for their second main track. The south switch at this place has recently been extended one mile and the shippers have experienced but little trouble In securing favors of this kind." The Philadelphia.

The comments of the Philadelphia pa pers on the new agreement In the an thracite coal trade are Interesting. The Press, always fair, says: "If the vari ous companies abide b" the agreement the transportation Interests in the an thracite coal trade will be greatly bene fited and the Individual mining Interests will be Improved. There Is no question but coat will be higher." The Times Is not so hopeful. "The first questions at Issue In a rehabilitation of the trade," It remarks, "are adherence to a reasonable price and restriction of output to the uirtmtnts 01 the market, without these additional reforms In coal trade policy, the presidents' agreement will umount to little. How utterly absurd has been the recent status of the trade may be judged from the fact that, with all its Increase In percentage of total anthracite production from 20.02 In ISM to 21.47 In 1893, the Reading Coal and Iron company lost on Its mining opera tions in 1X115 no less than $ti6.8O0, against a profit of :'K8,553 in 1894. These are the net income figures reckoned before al lowance of any interest payment or oth er charge on capital. They prove plain ly enough that the Reading was prob ably all the worse off lust year for its l'4 per cent. Increase In percentage of coal mined. This may explain the com pany's eventual consent to a reduction In Its newly arranged percentage." The Inquirer, however, which has been the Reading's chief organ. Is Irreconcilably disgruntled. It says: "But one opin ion can be held of the result of the an thracite coal presidents' meeting on Thursday, and that Is that It Is a decid ed set-back for the Reading company. The Issue nt stake was moral rather than material. It was whether the con. puny should be nn aggressive factor In the trade or should yield to the de mand of its competitors as It has In the pi si. Since 187s the Reading has stead ily lost ground, being forced back from the control of 29 per cent, of the out put until In one year It had less than ''. The whole growth of the trade was absorbed by competing companies, who were able to carry their point because of the pecuniary difficulties of the Reading. Two years ago the point was reached where resistance became neces sary and Sir. Harris has '.since made a manful fight for 21 per cent, of the ton nage. He has persistently refused to take less. A year ago the managers stated it would be Idle to attempt to re organize the company with less. On April 22, 1S93. the receivers after refus ing arbitration on the percentage mat ter declured thut 'the only remaining questions were those of arithmetical calculation.' About a year ago the New Jersey Central officers made a deter mined uttempt to adut the percent ages, and the Heading whs virtually of fered 204 per cent. Had Air. Harris ac cepted this the whole matter could have been udjusted. But he determinedly de clined, and in this he was sustained by his co-receivers, bis directors and every lanre stockholder. Meanwhile the Reading wns slowly but surely estab lishing the fuct that It could mine and was entitled to mine 21 per cent. This Impression was gaining ground every where. It was becoming recognized thut the Reading had made Its point, only a week ano one of the receivers de clared the company would not accept lass thnn 21 per cent. Yet on Thursday It accepted 20M,. Why? Of course the moral strength that Reading has se cured In its long fight Is now swept away. It has yielded just as It yielded In all the gloomy period from 1879 to 1893. It will evidently not resist an ag gressive task. Some potent influence was evidently brought to bear upon the Reading managers to induce them to re cede from their position. If it was not the reorganization pool that brought this pressure to bear It would be Inter esting to know who it was. The pool expects to make a good round sum by a speculation In the stock market, and to do this It would be willing to sacrifice the Interests of the junior security holders. As for the material effect of Thursday's action. It Is hard to esti mate. The Reading refused 20','3 per cent, a year ago, and evidently consid ered the extra one-half per ccnt of great Importance. At all events, there can be no better authority on this point than President Harris, who Just three weeks ago stood tin before his stock holders end read the following para graph from his annual report: 'This detailed statement of thP history of the present contest is made. to show that the position taken and maintained by Reading during the year 1893. In rela tion to Its proper proportion of the coal business, was the only way In which it could secure that share of the anthra cite trade to which it believed Itself to be fairly entitled, and which it must obtain if It Is to reguln property el even solvency,' " The New York World Is of the opinion that "under the velvet glove of an agreement an iron hand has been laid upon the great anthracite coal business, and that hund belongs to J. Plerpont Morgun. From this time on the eleven giant concerns engaged In mining and shipping coal from the hard coal regions will obey the mandate of their new leader. There will be no more steady underselling, no more secret over-production, for henceforth, like a gigantic trust, these companies will operate In concert. The agreement reached on Thursday is to run from Feb. 1, 1896, to Jan. 1, 1897. but it will not stop there unless something unforeseen happens. The Idea of the presidents Is to make an organization on the same basis as the Trunk Line association. Offices will be rented, a bureau of statistics will be formed and exact tonnopa returns will be demanded. A committee, composed of Presidents Thomas, Maxwell, Wil bur, Harris and Walters, will act as a permanent board of control and arbi tration and rules and regulations will be made covering every detail of the business. The headquarters of the com mittee will be4n New York city." A prospector named Nash organized an oil company upTunkhannock Creek last year, and a site has now been staked out for a well at Carpenter Hollow. It is expected that a test well will be put down this season. The North Branch Steel works, nt Danville, after an Idleness of two months, resumed operations last Thurs day morning, with good prospects for the balance of the winter. The, Dan ville Stove and Manufacturing com pany will also resume work today. H. S.
