The reading of minutes occupied consider

lengthy, but interesting report Waring upon
the school year just closed and, the ono to

The school year that has jmt closed was
ono of persistent, energetic work on the. part
of all connected with the workings f tbo
schools. While our financial condition niado
It necessary for tho Hoard to leduco tho
length of our school term fr.-oi 10 to 0

The entire course of tho previous years was

THE COAL TRADE.
In

Limited Only by Arnilnble Miner.
Tho Juno letter of tho Anthracite Coal
Operators' Arsoclation says : "Tho market.
during the month of May, showed a further
gain In strength both as regards tonnage and
prices. While tho former has shown com
paratively littlo movement in and around
New lork, thcr has been a fair tonnage
irolng to New England points; a moderate
line trado and, ou tbo settlement of Buffalo
dock troubles, nctivo shipping for tho Wes
torn market. Neither lino nor tidowater
stocks havo increased appreciably, nnd somo
sizes of coal, notably chestnut, have been so
scarce that soveral interests havo been com
polled to porchaso enough to fill their obliga
tions. Thcro liavo been some slicht con
cessions in prices, as always is tho case, but
taking the market on an avorago, all sizes
havo been remarkably firm, chesnut es
pecially, at tidewater and lino points,
I ho reduction In prices to consumers in
Boston, has been purely a retail matter. In
past years this would havo involved tho sell
ing companies in a struggle fortonnace et
any prico which could bo secured, but tho
fact that littlo or no concession has been
mado in this Instance bears good witness as
to tho sincerity of their Intention to main
tain tho trade on a sound basis.
Takon as a whole, tho developments of tho
month have been unusually satisfactory.
Tho market has been drawn slowly and
surely under the command of the sellers and
is now in a position where, as is anticipated,
an advance may be mado, and secured, on
coal sold for the summer and early fall trade.
Of course, Juno and July aro the critical
months, but there Is no reason for expecting
a sadden change from the course which has
beon followed sinco tho first of the year.
Indeed, it is open to doubt whether it would
be possible for any one interest to seriously
Injure tho marktt this year. Cortalnly no
concession in price would bo mado unless to
move a large tonnage. Tho conditions In
which tho market now stands would likely
absorb a slight oxcess without difficulty, and
no very largo tonnage could be produced
with the limited number of skilled miners in
the regions.
This latter may bo expoctcd to affect the
situation during the fall months when, it is
safo to say, tho consumption will be limited
only by the working force obtainable at tho
mines.

Chicago, June 8. Senator Macon, of
the Pure Food rommlra'lon, who left for
Washington today, made tho following
positive statements Inst night;
"This commission will prepare ft bill
compelling manufacturers of food pro
ducts to market tholr goods for what
thoy aro; for Instanco, chicory must
not bs labeled coffee, but chicory.
"Wo will have In tho bill a provision
that will absolutely prohibit the Intro
duction of deleterious substancos in
food products, that which Is delete
rious to be loft to the ovldence sub
mitted by Impartial scientific men.
"I propose to offer an amondmont to
the revonue bill which will absolutely
Drohlblt the importation of food arti
cles the sale of which la prohibited tn
the country from which they are ex
ported.
"I am no longer Inclined to carry
on this Investigation alone. Tho re
BDonsiblllty Is too great, nnd I do not
wish to bo considered tho whole com
mission, as" circumstances have forced
upon me of late. I will be slow about
holding another session of protracted
longth unless ono of my colleagues,
Senator Harris or Wetmoro, is with
me. It can be readily understood why
this Is so. I cannot act as I might
deem wisest whon I am alone on thu
commission, my decisions In such a
case being endangered by tho sugges
tion of personality, when In reality
this commission stands upon an ab
solutely impartial basts. There Is ono
concern In this city that has already
threatened to ruin mo.
"What concern is that?" the senator
was asked.
"Tho glucose trust," ho answered,
and continued:
"It is the old story of the flour bill
I stood by the bill for unadulterated
flour, and havo always bellovcd I com
pelled Its passage. At that time tho
glucoeo men did everything In their
power to frighten mo or In somo other
way get me off the track of my pur
poso. Why, thoy oven went to my
son. who wns newly wed and had only
a scant homo for himself, and offered
him a salary of $10,000 a year to act
as attornoy for them, making tho 1m
plied condition that he should haul
me away from the support ot the flour
bill. The adulterators of food pro
ducts aro pursuing similar tactics to
day, and that Is why I am determined
that before tho Investigation proceeds
further fellow members of tho com
mission must step In and share the
burden of responsibility."
Senator Mason said further:
"It Is not true that I intend going to
New York from here. I shall go to
Washington and take my family to the
coast of Maine for the summer, and ul
the end of three weeks I hopo to re
new this Investigation."
