The May letter of tho Anthracite Coal Operators' Association says there has been little Improvement in the anthra cite market during the month of April, though near its close a little activity was displayed In New England. Prices have remained firm throughout the mouth. During tho first two weeks there was a tendency towards low prices, but this was followed by a firmer market, though the demand remained very slight. \\ ith a light demand in the interior and a small consumption in the large cities, there is little reason for lipping that the move ment of coal to Western points will bo sufficient to permit of mining at a greater rate than 2,000,000 tons during the coming month.

The rumors of gold finding in Carbon county are becoming more general overy day. The latest discovery is said to be a genuine Klondike strike. The for tunate men who struck it rich are brothers, John J. O'Donneil, commis sion of Carbon county and Neil O'Don neil. The latter is an experienced gold miner, having spent the past twenty years of his life in western mining catnps. Ills knowledge in this respect bids fair to make him a rich man by digging gold from their mine at Mauch Chunk. Mr. O'Donneil made numerous tests and examinations of the mountains Recently and last week with a force of men began to tunnel into the mountain near the Valley station. Tests of the ore already assayed gives SBOO of gold to the ton besides a great deal of copper. The town is much excited over the discovery and hundreds eagerly watch j the men at work, while blasting the ore. Mr. O'Donneil is positive the asay will be increased as the vein be increased, j He says it is known in the gold mining ! region as the Fisher lode and usually turns out very productive. Tho broth- I ers have secured a lease of the land . where the mine is located from the \ agents of tho Steadiuan estate and will ' soon have a crushing mill erected. Leaving the Coal Region. The exodus of Hungarians, Slavs and Poles from the anthracite region, which began about two months ago. still con tinues. and those of the English-speak ing residents who can secure employ ment elsewhere are now following them.

In addition to the large number who have already been mentioned in these columns, the following have removed lately: Henry Rudolph and family to Reading; James Harvey to Philadelphia: John Wilson and family to YYeatherly; William McFarlane, of Drifton, to Scran ton: John Gallagher to Wilkesbarre; John Mochamer, of Eckloy, to Chicago: Edward Allen and Bernard McDevitt to Bethlehem.

CiVSTOniA.. Bear, the Kind Van Have Always Bought ' SUMMARY OF THE NEWS. President McKinley has selected Gener als Fitzhugh Lee, James H. Wilson, Joseph H. Wheeler and William J. Jewell, each with grand records for valiant deeds in the civil war, to lead the one hundred and twenty-five thousand men who have of fered their services in freeing Cuba from the bondage of Spain. ! Inventor Hudson Maxim wants the Gov ernment to build a cruiser at a cost of $50,- 000 and arm it with his torpedo gun, the use of which, with his plans, patents and services, he offers free, which would, he says, "be sufficient to destroy the entire Spanish Navy." 1 Inventor Holland lias proposed to the Strategic Hoard to throw a dynamite bomb from his submarine boat into Morro Castle without Government aid, if successful the boat to be purchased for $175,000. The offer will probably be accepted. | John Wanamaker will be given a Col onel's commission and his regiment mus tered into the new Pennsylvania National Guard to be organized in place of the present guard, which goes into Federal service. The Emperor of Austria, as an individ ual, gave SIOO,OOO to Spain's naval fund, let Spain have the use of several Austrian naval officers, and will protect the present dynasty in case of an attempt on the throne. By an order of the President telegraphed to every military and naval station in the country, all officers of both services will lierafter be required to wear their uniforms when on duty during the time of war. John Waltz, arrested as a spy at Port Fads, La., will be tried by a military com mission. Major Quinn says he has evi dence sufficient to cause Waltz to be put to death. More than 50,000 men have signed the volunteer rolls in New York City, and re cruiting will now probably be suspended while the newly enlisted are organized. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Muenchener Allgemeine Zeitung quotes a high Russian official as saying that Russia won't look with favor at intervention. The President is determined not to order the army to Cuba until it is proved that the insurgents, armed by the United States, cannot drive Spain off the island. Weyler made a long speech in Hie Span ish Senate. He justified his atrocities in Cuba and called on the Government to take the offensive in the war with us. Powder works and magazines in the vi cinity of St. Louis and Carpenter's Steel Works at Reading, Pa., have been put un der guard against Spanish spies. The War Department has assumed all necessary expenses of the volunteer army between the time of enlistment and muster ing into the Federal service. President McKinley has determined to at once seize a seaport town east of Havana and fort ify it as a baso of supplies and ope rations for 10,000 troops. The President's plans for the conduct of the war disclose the intention to try to force Spain to terms by starvation and long-time worriment. The marksmanship displayed by the United States fleet at the bombardment of Matanzas excites the admiiation of British naval experts. The American ship Shenandoah, report ed captured by the Spanish, arrived safely at Liverpool with a cargo of wheat worth $250,000. Our battleship Oregon, dynamite cruiser Nictheroy and gunboat Marietta are said to be coining north from Rio de Janeiro to gether. The converted yacht. Scorpion has joined the flying s<fuadron and Commander Schley regards her as a very valuable acquisition. Proclamation was made at St. John's, N. F., forbidding the sale of coal to war ships to enable them to attack an enemy. Spanish sympathizers at Montevideo have threatened United Slates Minister W. R. Finch and tiie legation has been guarded. Admiral Sampson's plan to make the war short, sharp and decisive is to attack Havana byway of Mariano Bay. Several Spanish warships have been sighted in English waters, evidently on the lookout tor American vessels. Comptroller of 'lie Currency Dawes says the national banks will subscribe largely to the proposed war loan. Charles 11. Allen, of Massachusetts, will succeed Theodore Roosevelt as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Portugal's Secretary-General of Foreign Affairs has cabled that Portugal will de clare her neutrality. A Spanish fleet of three ironclads and six torpedo vessels is said to be about to sail from Cadiz. Captain-General Blanco declared a state of war in Cuba and revoked all the pacific decrees. Orders were issued to recruit the regular army to its full war strength of 01,000 men. A Spanish gunboat captured the Ameri can bark Saranac, coal-laden, near Manila. Spain is said to be preparing to seize American yachts in the Mediterranean. The regular army has begun moving from Chattanooga to Tampa. Major-tlenerul Fitzliugli Leo. Richmond, Va.— General Fitzhugh Lee received a telegram from Adjutant-General Corbin congratulating him on the fact that the President had just officially announced the fact that he had decided to commission him a major-general. The nomination will be sent to the Senate at once. Kducate Your liowlos Willi CascarctM. Candy Cathartic, cure constipation forever 10c. If C. C. C. fail, druggists refund uiouuj. Pennsylvania'* Volunteer*. I This week the National Guardsmen of ! the state went through the ordeal of saying "yes" or "no" to the question: "Will you volunteer iu the service of the United States' government?" The re plies wi re overwhelmingly in the affir mative. and the mustering in iiumedi | ntoly followed. On Monday the First j brigade, consisting principally of Phila ! dolphin troops, was catechised, and out of 2,080 officers and men on tho field ! 2,241 volunteered, 43b refusing. On ; Tuesday the Second brigade, from Pitts burg and western points, was examined.

' The offi cers and men in the brigade numbered 2.723; of these 2.460 volunteered and 263 refused. The showing made by Lu zerne's regiment, the Ninth, was fair. Out of 504 men under Colonel Dougherty 4 17 enlisted for Cuba, the Philippines or wherever Uncle Sam wishes them to go. Company 11, of Pittston, Captain John 11. Flannery, took the honors when the Ninth was mustered in. Every officer and private in tho company, which is composed exclusively of members of the A.
