So That They Could Deny Having
Coal at Hand Sufficient for the
Needs of the City State Owner
ship of Mine Only solution.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 31. State's At
torney Oeneral Hamlin, who Is inves
tigating the Chicago coal shortage,
continued this morning. The railways
entered a general denial of a com
bined effort to corner the coal and by
subsequent distress command high
prices.
They claimed this morning that
coal was being delivered in great
quantities. They were surprised when
It was proved by several prominent
dealers that coal shipments had been
held In many instances for six weeks.
Figures were offered to show that
two railways alone had coal enough
on hand in their yards to supply the
entire city for the winter season.
Only 200 cars of coal were in the
yards this morning. The Wahash
alone had nearly a thousand yester
day..
Hamlin today appointed detectives
to bring proof of the common reports
that all tho railroads entering the
city passed' the entire night in franti
cally moving cars of coal by whole
train loads out to the country side
tracks along the line.
Developed Combination.
Testimony this afternoon developed
the fact that the railways and dealers
were in combination. The railways
have been permitting the use of their
yards and side tracks for the storage
of the cars of coal charging a small
demurrage only.
The Illinois Central alone has 1000
cars m the suburban yards. The rail
way officials have promised the alder
manic board this afternoon that thev
would order all cars to be emptied
immediately.
The dealers thus will be compelled
to lower prices on account of over-
siock. Tne average dally consump
tion is iouu tons.

PANIC AT BULL FIGHT.

in a bull fight today. The manager,
angered because the crowd threaten
ed to wreck the circus when the mata
dor failed to kill the bull, turned out
the lights and liberated three more

exits. Three were killed and 52 were
injured. The manager was arrested.
President Supported by a Large Ma
jority of Republican Senators, Be
lieves the Treaty Would Not Hurt
the Tariff System.
Washington. Dec. 31. Considerable
opposition is developing to the rati
fication of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty now pending in the senate.
Several weeks ago it appeared that
the treaty when presented to the
senate would be ratified without dif
ficulty, but some senators are now
taking as strong grounds against the
tieaty as they took against the legis
lation proposed at the last session
of congress. These senators are of
two classes, those who are opposed
on principle to any "tariff tink
ering," and tho who represent
states whoso ;ioducts may be affect
ed by tho concessions extended to
1 Cuba by the pending treaty.
Other Nations May Make Claim.
Senators of the first class might bo
induced to support the treaty, were it
not for their apprehension that the
ratification of the Cuban treaty may
lead to a demand from other countries
that they, too, be accorded special
tariff concessions by the United
States. It has been Indicated to the
president that, in the event of ratifi
cation of the Cuban treaty, a demand
may be expected from Germany
within 30 days for concessions siml
lar to those accorded Cuba.
Roosevelt Is Confident.
The president had an hour's con
ference with Senator Scott, of. West
Virginia, during which they discuss
ed the reciprocity question in all its
pnases. Senator Scott is offering no
