The coal tonnage of the Huntingdon and Broad Top for the week ending March 28. ISM. was 6B.327 tonn, against 48.128 tons for the corresponding week of 1895, an increase of tons; for the a year to date, 489,95:! tons, against 438,28.1 ( tons for the corresponding; period of ,1S95, an Increase of 61,668 tons. The agreement, or verbal understand ing among the anthracite coal roads is being as strongly held as ever, and there Is no sign, says the Philadelphia Times, of any disagreement or change of the original plans of the companies perfected at the meeting In January. The presidents of all the roads pledged their corporations to the strict main tenance of the agreed prices and to the restriction of tonnage production to the agreed percentage of the total output deckled upon for each month. It would lie dlcult for any legislative body to se cure evidence that any combination of the coal companies exists, and this Is Just what the presidents Intended when they decided to have no formally signed agreement made which could at any time be introduced as evidence against the members of the combination indi vidually or collectively. The combina tion, however, continues to accomplish what it set out to do. Prices are tirmly held at the official circular figure, or on the basts of 13.60 to $3.75 per ton for stove coat, f. o. b. in New York harbor. In addition to the maintenance of prices the pool has agreed to make the output s of anthracite In April about 8,000,000 tons, which, it is believed, the market will absorb without difficulty, though the demand is still much slower than the roads expected a month ago.. The March output will probably turn out to have been about 2,900,000 tons. It is be lieved in the trade that the conditions which are likely to rule in the next six Weeks will warrant an advance in stove coal at the end of that period to about $3.90 per ton, New York terms. The de mand for the steam sizes continued fair last week, owing to the hardening; ten dency of prices in the bituminous coal market, . , ( - . li H 'll A Pittsburg dispatch announces the formation of a billet pool. It says that It has already been completely formed and has already raised the price of steel billets to $20 a ton. Kvery steel plant in the United States making billets Is In the new pool, which comprises about twenty-five concerns, whose total capi talization runs Into hundreds of millions of dollars. The Carnegie Steel com pany is at the head of the pool. No of ficial statement of the pool's member- ; ship could be obtained, but the follow ing; list was complied as some of Its members; The Carnegie, Halnesworth & Schoenberger Steel companies, Jones Laughlins and Park Brothers, all of Pittsburg; Illinois Steel company, Chi 'eago; Pennsylvania Steel company, , Harrlsburg: Ohio Steel company, YoungBtown; Troy Steel company, Troy, N.

THE PHILADELPHIA COIX ECHO Uouse Approve Resolution Dlreotlng the Secretary of War to Prepare riaaa for Peepeaiag of Chan nel lato Portland, Maine. Washington. March St. The Peffer resolution for an Investigation Into all the facts and circumstances of recent bond issue was not reached in the sen ate today, as had been expected, Mr. George (Dem., Miss.) having occupied nearly the entire session in an argu ment against the claim of Mr. Dupont to the vacant seat In the senate from the state of Delaware. Mr. Peffer gave notice, however, that he would at the 'clone of Mr. George's Bpeech tomorrow ask the senate to proceed with the consideration of his resolution. About half an hour was given to the consideration of the postotllce appro priation bill which appropriates the large amount of 93.000,000 dollars, of which nearly 13,000,000 dollars go to de fray the expense of the free delivery system. A discussion was started on an amendment reported front the ap propriation committee, allowing $80,000 a year in addition to the present com pensation of JS0.0OO to the Oceanic steamship company for mall transpor tation from San Francisco to New Zea land and New South Wales. The ques tion was not decided when the senate at S p. in. adjourned until tomorrow. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. The monotony of routine comddera tlon of the sundry civil appropriation bill In committee of the whole house to day was enlivened by several references to some political financial events of recent date. Mr. Williams (Rep., Pa.) called attention to the reports that rep resentatives of the Manufacturers' club of Philadelphia, In conference with cer tain persons In Washington had com mitted the olub to the free coinage of silver in connection with a protective tariff as a satisfactory platform for the Republican party. He sent to the clerk's desk and had read the resolu tions adopted last night by the club, as refuting the reports. Mr. Hartman (Rep., Mont.) said that published reports were incorrect; that the silver men were not responsible for the conference, and that It had been held at the request of the club mem bers. Mr. Allen (Rep., Utah) confirmed the statement that no bargain or agree ment had been reached at the confer ence. Then Mr. Plckler (Rep., S. D.) had read the financial platform adopted by the Republican convention of that state last Wednesday, to disprove the stories that the Republicans there hud changed their attitude towards silver. SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. In the course of the consideration of the sundry civil bill, attempts were made to amend It to increase the ap propriation for the salary of the super intendent of the coast and geodetic sur vey from 15.000 to 16.000, the amount fixed by law; t strike out the appro priation of $50,000 for detection and pun ishing violations of the internal rev enue laws, and to strike out the appro priation of $1'J,500 for food, fuel and clothing for the Indians on the Ptiby lolf islands, Aluska all of which failed. The house passed senate Joint resolu tions directing the 'secretary of war to prepare plans and estimates for deep ening; the channel Into Portland, Maine, harbor to thirty feet; to secure a twenty-five foot ship channel. 400 feet wide in Providence river anil Narra gansett bay from Sassafras Point to the ocean, and 'to expend $20,000 fur walla to the- canal locks at the Cas cade), Columbia river, Oregon, . At 6 o'clock the house adjourned until tomorrow having passed over ilfty pages of the sundry civil bill about half of Its contents. PROFESSOR COLES FOR APRIL. From' Storms and Signs. The disturbing; planets for April are Vulcan, Mercury, Venus and Earth. Earth being In sign Libra, the Balance; opposed by sign Aries, the Ram, fore warns us of the formation of an or ganization and - strange combination, that may brlnK about many sudden and unexpected changes. For Instance: While Libra, the Balance, shall be en deavoring to balance the unequully di vided electrical currents dining the Vul can, Mercury and Earth storm, periods that will occur between the 1st, and 2d; 4th and 7th, and 9th and 14th; Aries, the Ram, may take a notion to "butt" all her effort over and unbalance the electrical current again. If so, then look out for tornadoes, hall, sleet, snow, rain, floods, high winds, thunder show ers and red lightning. Also, strange phenomena, war threats, earthquakes, falling; stars, rumors of war, awful cat astrophes, horrible outrages and fearful deeds. And an epidemic of sudden deaths; railroad accidents, labor strikes, political disputes, etc. Another strange electrical phenomenon will oc cur somewhere in the northern part of New Jersey or in the southern part of New York state again this month, we think, and if this prediction proves true a dtd the other predictions that we made for this particular location, then we Bhall have in our possession some very important information to Impart to the Jerseyites. The planets are in position this month to generate new disease microbes and parasites; look out for epidemics of new diseases. April will bring us many surprises! Beware of Aries, "the Ram!" The regular Btorm periods and the reactionary storm periods as marked on our Storm and Sign calendar may not all arrive on time this month, as they have dur Ing the past six months. If the electri cal currents continue to run from the northeast to the southwest for ton days more as they have during the past twenty-six days, April may give us the greatest snow storm of the season. WORDS OF WARNING. Look out for high winds. April will prove a surprise. The earth will quake this month. Hall, sleet, snow and rain will do much damage. Tornadoes, floods and earthquakes are on tne programme. The old country will be visited by gates unprecedented. Art epidemic of sudden deaths may sweep over tne country. Labor strikes, and political disputes will lead to riot and great contention. The Red-eye, a new disease, caused by red lightning-, will become epidemic tnis monm. The ladles of Pennsylvania, New Jer sey and New York may wear their new Easter bonnet on Easter Sabbath, not withstanding all prophesies to the con trary. Do not think that this is an April Joke. Earth is In sign Libra, the Balance, opposea Dy sign Aries, the Ram. There fore prepare to witness some hard scenes. The element will war. Na tlons will war. Labor and capital will war. politicians will war. and even some churches will not be exempt from tne disposition or Aries, the Ram. . WHEN TO PLANT IN APRIL. Cabbage seed much be sown on the 1st, 11th, or 21st. Peas should be plant ed on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 20th, 21st, 22d, 29th or Sflth; and should becovered to the .depth of not less than eight Inches. Lettuce seed should bo sown on the 3d rain or shine between the hours of 5 and 11 a, ni. Onion seed, or onion nets to produc large oplons should be sown or set on the 1st, 2nd, 3d, llth, 21st or scut: but to produce a rank growth of top, should be sowed or set on, the nth. 14th. Kth. ZTth or nth. On the 1st. 2nd. 3d. llth. 17th. 21st. 22nd. 29th and 20th. will be the tx-st days for grain vinrs, pt-as. bt-uns, etc. Flower Heeds should be planted when the vital forces are at their "highest flood."- Berry bushes, etc., may be trimmed at any time except on the 7th, 23d and 24th. Next month the signs for planting will be shown in our Storm and Sign Calen dar, which should be In every home, in every office and In every public place throughout the whole world. Professor C.

Our burgess Is a candidate for the legislature. Any community should feel proud to have such a strong man and able politician aspiring to till a vacancy In the legislative body of our Keystone state. The Nickel Plate Road Is the shortest line between Buffalo and Chicago. THE WORLD OF BUSINESS. Wall Street Hevlew. New York, 'Muri-h 31.
