THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1893. PRESENT ASPECT OF THE COAL TRADE What the Monthly Letter o! Anthracite Conl Operator's Asioclatlon Says. FEBRUARY MARKET WAS INACTIVE Some. Talking t .linking n Spring Circular Slightly IIcloW tlio I'rcsont One Hut It .Meets with Opposition trom Thoso Who Consider tlio 1'rlco Current ns Sulliclcntlr I,ovi'oel Ing Among Iluyers Is Ono ol Soncr nl Distrust. With teferenco to the condition of the anthracite coal market the March letter of the Anthracite Coal Opera tors' association says: "Throughout the month of February the market was Inactive and showed no Improvement over the preceding month, excepting that prices were Jlrmer, The over-production In Jnn uary and February and consequent heavy stocks on hand, acted to strengthen buyers In their determina tion not to purchase more thnn enough for their current requirements, and these were small. "March has opened without nny Im provement In the demand, though prices are firmer. There Is a consider able quantity of coal going forwnid on earlier ordera and some extensions of these have been made, though how long this will continue Is a matter of doubt. A strong effort is being made to maintain the circular and unless the amount of coal coming to market dur ing the month proven greater than the consumption warrants, the present prices will stand. "There Is some talk of naming a eprlng circular slightly below the pres ent one, but this is opposed by many, who consider the price current as suf- llclently low to be held until the ad vance summer circular appears. So far as can bo scon, It Is probable that, If the production does not overstock the market, there will be no change and it Is open to doubt whether, in such event, any spring concessions from the circular will be granted. T1IK JANUARY MINING. "It was hoped that the quantity of cml mined In January would be suf ficiently within the mnikct require ments to permit of a material reduc tion In the tide and interior stocks. Thero were many reasons why this was expected, and for believing that the arious mining companies, In view of the disastrous effects of over-production toward the close of last year, fully rtcognlzed the urgent need of keeping their production well within the con sumption. "The month's requirements wore es timated at nbout 2,250,000 tons, a con pervatlve figure but the amount mined was over 3,000,000 tons, or nearly 750, 003 tons In excess of the estimate. It Is true that nearly all of this coal was marketed, since stocks did not Increase, but the large production was a serious disappointment to those who believed that a really consistent effort was go ing to be made to keep the output within the demand. "During the early part of January a new circular was announced, ns fol lows: Net. f. o. b. Stovo $1.00 Egg and chestnut 3.7. Urokcn 3.50 Five cents less at Perth Amboy. "This was adhered to with a little more than the usual 'tlrmncss' shown In such cases, but when February opened, buyers knew that there was a surplus of coal on tl.o market, and did not display undue eagerness to ro l'eve the sellers of their stocks, even though there was a clnrre of secur ing some coal thiough the extension of previous orders. The feeling among the buyers has been, and is, one of distrust. Their experience In the past cads them to believe that It is only a pulon of time before the market Is Kaln broken and low.r prices will fule. NO FAITH IN IT. "They have no faith in the an nounced Intention of nny company that there will not be an excess of coal mined nor a decline In Mice, nnd in this they are Justified by the record of the past. Whether they are right or wrong, the coming months will tell. The situation Is In the hands of the sellers. They have failed to observe due judgment during the first month of the year. The results of mining duilng the second month, 2,700,000 tons, shows the same thing, and the esti mate of 2.500.000 for March Is unques tionably greater than the demand war rants, nnd will not allow any material change for the better. "It Is difficult to understand why the Fellers are unwilling, or afraid, to take butllclently radical and earnest meas ures to further strengthen the market, when the only way In which It can bo done Is well known to them. Thore Is no doubt but that had operations for March been started on a basis of 2, 000,000 tons, the market would have felt the influence of the smaller supply, nnd the stocks, which are considered by the dealers as a safeguard against a higher price, would have been ma terially reduced. "Such a small output would have been radical, but Its effect would have been beneficial, and lasting.

National Gunwl Is Subject to Orderi ot the I'roildont. According to the Army nnd Navy Journal the president, ns commander-in-chief, "has the right, under the con stitution, when war or Insurrection threatens, to call upon the mllltla of the United States for service. Ho is made the sole judge of the emergency and there Is no power anywhere under the constitution to review his conclu sion of fact. Ho can call the militia Into service and send them whero ho pleases, even to Cuba or to Spain. Tho governors hnve tho right, however, to select the officers of the troops belong ing to their several states, and as a matter of practice and courtesy, tho call for mllltla Is made through them. Their authority over the mllltla ceases as soon as the troops are mustered Into tho service of the United States." John 15. Wntklns In the Philadelphia 1'resa flatly refutes this contention. "There will," he says, "bo no such arm of the service as the mllltla, In the event of war with a foreign power. It would be Illegal for President McKtn ley, commandor-ln-chlef of the army nnd navy, to order the mllltla outside our boundnrles for the purpose of In vading Spanish territory, or any other foreign domain. No governor would be required by law to honor the presi dent's call for mllltla." The constitution of the United States has the following regarding tho mili tary powers of the president: "The president shall be commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, and of the mllltla of the so. eral states, when called lnio CTIe actual service of the United States." Regard ing tho power of congress over the mllltla it appears that that body shall have power: "To provide for calling forth tho mllltla to execute the laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, nnd repel lnvnslons. To provide for organ izing, arming nnd disciplining the mllltla, and for governing such part of them as may be employed In the ser vice of tho United States; reserving to the stntes respectively tho appointment of the officers and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by congress." From the above declarations from the constitution of the United States It appears to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle "that the president Is tho commander-in-chief of the mllltla when called Into the actual service of the national government. It also appears that congress has power to call out the mllltla, though the service In which It Is to be employed Is expressly limited to the execution of the laws, the sup pression of Insurrections and resistance to invasion. Nothing Is snld on tho subject of ordering the mllltla out of the country, and under Article X of the constitution, which declnres that 'the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohib ited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people,' It may bo held that the na tional government has not the right to send tho militia out of the country." Letters written by officers of the Thirteenth regiment and others to the War department at Washington asking for an official and authoritative deter mination of this question have not been answered. Yet the law in the ease is believed to be correctly Interpreted in the quotation from the Rochester paper Immediately preceding. NEW RAILROAD IN MONROE. It Will II o Uuilt from Kunklotown to Lehigh Gup. Monroe county capitalists are to build o railroad from Kunkletown to Lehigh Gap, where It is to connect with the Jersey Central.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS. Tho Isle oi Chnmpngne. There is a deal of droll humor nnd not a little pleasing music in "The Isle of Champagne." which was produced at the Lyceum last night by a company headed by Richard Golden, who assumed tho role that Thomas Q. Seabrooko made a big reputation in a few yearn ago, Mr. Gol den's King Pommery is a duplicate of tho bibulous character portrayed by Mr. Sea brooke. It is cually as laugh-provoking and there are thoso even who assert that in this respect the Golden article execlls. Miss Kathrlne Gennalne, tho pilmR, donna of the company, was not able to appear. Sho recently had an operation performed on her throat and sho has not yet sufficiently recovered to I chunk; her placo In tho company. Her place was ac ceptably tilled by a handsome, graceful and youthful Caltfomluu, Maude Lillian Herri, a somewhat recent accession to tho IlKht opera stage. She has n, good voice ai.d considerable dramatic ability and with tlio other advantages in lur favor will undoubtedly win for herself a placo among tho operatic favorites of ino coun try. The support given the lending ar tist was fair and th various choruses were well rendered. Tho opera !s well Hascd. Tho Wo in nil in lllncl;. "Tho Woman In Black." ono of Mana ger Litt's productions, which will be seen at the Academy tho first half of next week, is a now seml-polltlcal play from tho pen of II. Grattan Donnelly. It is bald to bo a story depicting scenes and Incidents around a very hotly contested election, whero two opposing factions of tho same political party aro at swords points. The political coloring only gives a novel and effective background for a strong story of lovo and romanco which runs through tho play, Tho Linden. According to tho popular policy of this uivuitT riiuuu iir, iiruuns UH$umeu mo management of it, children will again be udmitted for flvo cents this afternoon. Tho play which Is being produced Is one that can bo appreciated by young as welt ns old and tho work of Alice Kemp nnd William II. McKlnley In the lending roles, Is certainly of a high order.

Ho Was Stricken in ChurctfA Strik ing Iiotson to Those Who Neglect Timely Warnings. t A learned Judge was taken suddenly sick In church, December C, 1S97, In tho city of Brooklyn. Four days later, In iplte of the best medical nld, he died. Tho doctors said the Judge had kidney dlsense and had lived a surprisingly long time, everything considered. A man or woman may live along for years with Incompetent kidneys only to collapse as suddenly ns a house of cards when the baby's hands knocks It over. The early Indications of Brlght's dis ease nre sometimes very slight head aches, dull pains, dcpiesbcd feelings, Inch ot energy all these Indicate the first stages of nrlght's disease nnd yet few people think they mean anything serious until, often, It Is too late. Thero hns never been but one dis covery known to tho world nnd the medical profession for checking Brlght'a disease In Its beginning or cur ing It nttcr It has progressed. That discovery, which is so popular In Eu rope. America and throughout the world Is Warner's Safe Cure. If the learned Judge, who was strick en In church', had realized years before the secret power that was undermining his life, ho might have counteracted It nnd lived to a green old nge. But he did not know! And alas! there nre thousands of people today who aro upon the same dangerous road nnd who do not real ize it. MUSICAL GOSSIP. Ono of tho exceptional events In mus ical clrclts In Scrnnton In tho near fu ture will bo the presence of the world renowned artist and organist, Mr. Wil liam C. Carl, who Is to preside at the Inauguration of tho large new organ now being placed In the Providence Pres byterian church by Hook and Hastings nnd company of Baston. Mr. Carl lias played In tho principle cities of tho union from Boston to California and beforo his return to America on tho completion of his studies with Gullmnnt, in Paris, ho had given a brilliant scries of recitals at the Edinburgh International exposi tion. Mr. Carl was engaged by the di rectors of tho World's Fair (Chicago) for three recitals which attracted gen eral attention. He Is now on a tour of cities with GuIImant, who was at Wilkes Barro a few weeks ago. Professor Carl has for years filled and still retains tho Important position of organist and choir master at tho Old First Presbyterian church. Fifth avenue. New York. Mr. Carl's services for organ concerts are In great demand and can only be secured at largo expense. Nevertheless It Is be lieved that so many musicians, especially organists and music loving people in general, throughout all this section will nvall themselves of the opportunity of listening to such n skillful artist ns to Insuro a profitable venture for the Prov Idenco people. Miss Frances Miller, pre viously of Baltimore, and now of New York, will bo tho vocal soloist. Miss Miller Is now leading soprano In one of tho largest Baptist churches in New York nnd n very popular artist in tho concert platform beside being a lady of pleasing presence. One other artistic feature of tho organ Inauguration will bo two numbers by tho Stringed quartett of the Scranton Symphony orchestra. Tho quartett Includes Mr. Fred Wld mayer, who has Just returned from spe cial musical studies In Boston.
