barre with her father. She will give

charged, the polico can do nothing.

FOREIGNERS WANT COAL
AMERICAN FUEL IN GREAT DEMAND
IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

Atlantic—Foreign Hours May lie Open

Consul.' Encouraging Iteports.
That Pennsylvania's coal operators
have a promising outlook for a large
and profitable market in Europe has be
come apparent in recent news items of
isolated deals for fuel to bo delivered in
various transatlantic countries, but that
the inquiry for American fuel has be
come quite general In continental Eu
rope has at last become an official fact,
disclosed through consular reports, says
the Philadelphia Record. For example,
Consul Skinner, at Marseilles, France,
says that among the many inquiries of
this character which he has received is
one from A. Hluhm, St. Petersburg,
who writes as follows:
"1 have for years boon selling Eng
lish and Scotch coal, and hearing now
that the United States is shipping con
siderable quantities of coal to France
and Italy, and finding your name
mentioned by a journal in connection
with the matter, 1 beg that you will
name to mo some of the most respect
able of your shippers, to whom 1 may
apply for the purpose of introducing
American coal into this country. In
doing so, you would, no doubt, further
the interests of your country, as we
have here an annual importation of
about 3,000,000 tons."
SUMS TO SURMOUNT OBSTACLES.
With reference to such responses as
may be made to this and similar in
quiries Consul Skinner says: "My own
opinion is that if American capital will
take hold of this matter in a large way,
provide cargo boats of considerable size
and eliminate middlemen as far as pos
sible, the difficulties threatening perma
nent success in building up European
markets for American coal may be over
come."
England has had a confidential official
investigating the fuel situation in Rus
sia, and he finds that in the Donetz and
Dombrovskl basins alone there will be a
delicit of 1,000,000 tons of coal this year.
The increase in the quantity of coal im
ported Into Russia has boon from 1,533,-
358 tons, in 1577, to 3,161,390 tons, in
1898, while the total for 1899 will doubt
less be considerably larger. The two
main coal-producing centres are the
Donetz basin, in the south, and the
Dombrovskl basin, In Poland.
NEEDS OF RUSSIA AND GERMANY.
While the development of the indus
trial activity of Russia and the exten
sion of railways have been, perhaps, tho
main causes, they are by no means the
only explanation of the present scarcity
of coal. The coal-mining industries
themselves are not fully developed
enough to meet the demand, while in
sufficient means of transport play an im
portant part in the situation. The ac
tivity of syndicates, by limiting produc
tion, and the speculation which of late
has attended the coal and other indus
tries of Russia, are important factors.
Counsul General Guenther, at Frank
ford, Germany, says: "There has never
been a year In the history of Germany
when greater demands had been made
upon the coal production. Although
the output of 1899 was over 100,090,000
tons, against 96,000.000 tons in 1898,
and 91,000,000 in 1897, the supply has
been entirely inadequate, and much em
barrassment and annoyanco have re
sulted. The selling price of coal in
creased during 1899 ovor 1898 from 30
to 35 per cent."
There has been no material change in
the anthracite coal situation for the
past several weeks. This period of the
year is as a rule dull, being what might
bo termed "between seasons." The
dealers, however, will not long delay In
stocking up, as they are beginning to
realize that tho prices which were made
April 1, will be about the lowest of the
season, and with the water freight at
tho present rate they cannot do better
than to fill up their bins at present
prices a d present rates of freight.
The movement is likely to commence in
a couple of weeks, or shortly after tho
lirst of May.
DON'TS.
Don't fall to study yourself If you

Don't envy the man with a wonder

compass and more than ordinary
volume. F. VV. Walters, the tenor, has
a robust voice and his work in such
operas as Martha, Cavalleria Rustlcana,
and Carmen Is such as is seldom heard
in operatic organizations touring this
country. Win. Herman West, the bari
tone, has a very magnetic voice and
stago presence. 110 Is generally con
ceded the peer of American baritones.
Ed Andrews supplies the comedy and is
ably assisted by the buffo-basso, F. J.

.leßriea-Sliarkey Contest.
The coming of the JelTrles-Sharkey
pictures to the Grand Saturday even
ing will no doubt tend to revive the
discussion as to the merits of the deri
sion in the great fistic encounter be
tween Jeffries and Sharkey. Thero is
one thing certain—these aro tho only
real pictures and they give the entire
twenty-five rounds. After they have
been seen, people will be ablo to decide
for themselves whether Referee Siler's
decision was a robbery or not. The
pictures aro pronounced the host re
productions evor made. Thoy are ex
ceedingly clear; there is none of that
sudden jumping from one position to
the other, and the figures and dotails
are depicted with fidelity. The pictures
tell the story in a graphic and thrilling
manner. They begin with the time the
men enter the ring and continue to the
last round.
Hojt'a "A Day and a Night."
Merriment will reign supreme at the
Grand tomorrow evening on tho first
presentation In Freeland of a new play
by Charles Hoyt, the recognized leader
in farce-comedy writing. The mere an
nouncement that this clever playwright
has something new to offer amusement
seekers will bo quite enough to attract
a large audience. Singing, dancing
and specialties that are said to bo abso
lutely new, a bevy of pretty girls—for
no Hoyt show is complete without thein
—elaborate and fetching costumes,
strikingly handsome scenery, the
strongest possible cast, ridiculously
funny scones and situations, and bright,
crisp, wlttv dialoguo, are the principal
features that go to make up an enter
tainment which is claimed to be the
most wholesome and amusing Mr. Hoyt
has yet offered to the public.
In the vicinity of Pittston 450 miners
