TO MINE ITS OWN FUEL STEEL CORPORATION' TO DEVELOP 50,000 ACRES OF COAL LAXÜ. Ten-Mi 11 ion-Dollar Investment Powerful Independent Coul Combination Formed at Pittsburg. riTTSBURG, Jan. 4. The United States Steel Corporation has arranged to produce its own supply of coal in the Pittsburg district by the development of 50,000 acres, worth approximately $10,000,000. The work of development will be started at once by a subsidiary company, the National Mining Company, of which President Thomas Lynch, of the' II. C. Frick Coke Company, is the head. The National Mining Company will open Its first mine in the Panhandle field, fourteen miles from Pittsburg, in the Chartiers valley, where 7,500 acres of coal property will be developed. Contracts have already been placed for the electric, hauling and other modern equipment, and this first mining plant is to be In operation before the end of the year. Other properties will be started during the year. The steel corporation plants in this district aside from the Carnegie Steel Company consume about tons of coal annually, and the operation of the National Mining Company is designed to supply this. ' Another Coal Combination. PITTSBURG, Jan. 4. A powerful independent coal combination was formed in Pittsburg to-day which will be known as the Manufacturers' and Consumers' Coal Company, with a capital of $3,000,000 all paid in.

Advices received at the office of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company say that two of the missing lifeboats arrived .last night north of Trinidad and that seventeen people were landed from them. This leaves one lifeboat and one raft yet to be accounted for. The raft is in charge of the second officer of the Walla Walla. The company's agents have confidence that the missing craft will turn up before many hours have passed. The majority of the survivors left Eureka to-day on the steamer Pomona. They are due to arrive tomorrow. The revenue cutter McCulloch and a number of tugs are cruising up and down the coast for possible survivors. The steamer Nome City arrived here tonight with six survivors of the wreck. They include five of the crew and one second-class passenger. They were picked up clt Trinidad Island from a life raft. NEAH BAY, Wash., Jan. 4. The steam collier Washtene, which has just arrived, reports being in company with the French bark Max off Cape Mendocino Jan. 2. The Max reported being in collision with a large passenger steamer at 4 o'clock that morning. The Max had three holes stove in her bow and her st?m was bent to port, but no lives were lost on the bark. It is probable the passenger steamer was the Walla Walla. The Max was bound from Havre to San Francisco in ballast. Christmas Remembrances Lost. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 4.

Arnold, of Cleveland, son of the late Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Arnold, jr., who was in command of the arsenal here about twenty years ago, was a guest at the Dension last night. His father died on Oct. 13 last, while in command of the Allegheny arsenal at Pittsburg. Mr. Arnold has had some experience In the Indiana gas belt recently as a mechanical engineer, and he believes gas is failing rapidly. He arrived here yesterday after spending some time in the Summitville district of the gas belt. "If the situation continues in this section as I left it to-day," he remarked last night, "the supply of natural gas for Indianapolis will continue to diminish rapidly, and I should not be surprised if this city would find Itself without gas within the next three to six months. It is a well known fact to all people connected with the natural gas industry in Indiana that the field pressure has brcn gradually decreasing from ÖO0 to less than eighty pounds in the last six or seven years, and the area of gas-bearing rock showing a mixirnum pressure of eighty pounds has gradually been contracted until now it only measures a few miles in circumference. There are four or five companies operating in this particular area, all of which are pumping more or less gas to their respective patrons, which, of course, is a constrant drain on the field. As an illustration of how the gas is being pumped out, I might state that the Chicago company which is pumping gas into Chi cago has several hundred wells in this limited area and the pumps are connected through the suction mains direct to the casing of their wells, which measures, I am informed, five and half Inches in diameter. Most of the other companies in the field, so far as my knowledge goes, are only pumping through a two-inch tubing in the wells as against the five-and-a-half casing of the Chicago wells. A former em ploye of one of the pumping stations of the Chicago company informed me not long ago that the company was carrying a pres sure of from 4IX) to urt0 pounds cn its highpressure line to Chicago. It will readily be seen from these statements which is getting the most benefit from the Indiana natural gas fields Indianapolis or Chicago. During my sojourn in the gas field I h-td occasion to note that the average pressure of the field had decreased from ten to twelve pounds in the last sixty to ninety days. This would represent an average de crease- in pressure of about five pounds a month, and as the field becomes more and more contracted, outlying wells become dry. and it will readily be seen that the de creas3 in pressure will be greater each month in a rapidly Increasing ratio, until it becomes so low that it will be impossible to profitably pump it to points as far dis tant as Indianapolis." Xevr General Manager. GALVESTON, Tex., Jan. 4. W. C. Nixon, general superintendent, was to-day appointed general manager of the Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe, vice L. B. Polk, elected vice president. Colonel Polk will devote his at tention to the policies of the road and the details will be left to Mr. Nixon. The office of general superintendent has been abol ished. Coal Rates Advanced.

URIBE IN COLOMBIA FINALLY SUCCEEDED IX EVADING THE GOVEHX3IEXT TROOPS. Entered Santander Province from Venezuela City of Ilucnrnmangn Captured by Insurgents. NEW YORK, Jan. 4. A cable dispatch to-day from Gen. Vargas Santo, chief of the Colombian rebellion, to Dr. A- J. Restrepo, diplomatic agent of tho rebels In this country, announced that Gen. Rafael Uribe-Uribe had effected an entrance into Colombia from Venezuela. For some time General Uribe-Uribe has been at Tachira, Venezuela, with an army of 2,000 men. He has tried time and again to get past the Colombian, government forces, but always without success. In these attempts he was assisted by troops of the Venezuelan army. He has now accomplished his end with a force composed only of Colombian Liberals. Entrance was gained into the department of Santander, and it is expected that there will be some severe fighting soon. Other advices received by Dr. Restrepo are that the insurgents under General Ardilla have captured the city of Bucaramanga, which is one of the most important towns in the country and tho capital of Santander. Another attempt to take Panama is now being planned by the insurrectionists. The news is confirmed that their fleet, consisting of the gunboats Darien, Padilla and Gaitan and a few sailing vessels carrying cargoes of war material, are in the vicinity of the Isthmus. It is even reported that some of these have already been landed. Gen. Benjamin Herrera Is the commander of this expedition. Dr. Restrepo said today that in a few days he expected to hear of the renewal of hostilities at Panama. Rebel Fleet to Re Attacked. COLON, Colombia, Jan. 4. It is reported from Panama that General Alban has chartered the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Chiriqui and the Pacific Mail Company's steamer Isabel, and that with these vessels and the gunboat Boyaca and a canal boat will leave shortly-to attack the licet of the revolutionists. MUST WEAR A CORSET. Deer In Central Park Menagerie Is Doing: Extreme Penance. New York Herald Local. To Alice, a moufilon in the menagerie in Central Park, was given yesterday a corset. It is necessary that she wear it on account of severe bruises and internal injuries she recently sustained. The article is different from most of its kind, and Alice will not be tolerated in quadruped society till it is discarded. Always a gentle and well-behaved animal, Alice has been a favorite of the keepers and of the visitors. In this respect she differed from Duodecimo, her mate, a ferocious beast that has the reputation of being the most troublesome and mischievous inmate of tho deerhouse. When Alice was placed in the same paddock with him the wiseacres of the menagerie predicted that she would suffer in character from association with such a reprobate, and advised that she be quartered in a separate paddock. These ominous prophecies were fulfilled. A keeper entered the paddock on Tuesday to drive Alice into her stalKin the deerhouse. She began to run about the inclosure, dodging him when he attempted to approach her. Then, as if to imitate her dissolute companion, whom she had often seen indulging in similar acts of insubordination, she tried to jump the fence. Failing in the attempt, Alice struck the side of the corral and fell heavily to the ground. Examination disclosed that she had been injured internally and severely bruised. To alleviate her pain cloths soaked with liniment were applied. Something about the cut of these bandages did not fit winter styles for moulllons or their texture of cotton was repulsive to a young female accustomed only to the finest kind of natural wool garments. Alice would have none of them. Duodecimo also indicated a somewhat hypercritical offense at the perfume of arnica and laudanum attaching to Mrs. Moufflon's new apparel. This settled Alice's views and she removed the bandages. The keepers put on others. Alice again partially disrobed. Then the ingenuity of the animal tenders, which is calculated to meet any exigency, was called into play. A corset of rope was devised. There is nothing unhealthful about it. It does not restrict respiration and can offend no dress reformist. Incidentally it makes Alice look as if her skeleton were disclosed to view in that portion of her body it covers. It also retains the healing bandages, despite teeth, hoofs and rubbing. Alice's grotesque appearance attracted much attention yesterday from visitors. It also induced expressions of the most cordial disapproval from Duodecimo. He acted as if thoroughly ashamed of his companion. He kept in a dark corner of the stall and tried to hide from sight. If Alice continues to improve the corest will be taken off to-day. A Green Hair Snit. New York Commercial Advertiser. A suit for $2,000 damages for having sold a preparation said to have turned hair a bright green, instead of red, is scheduled to be heard before a jury in Part 1 of the City Court next Monday. The suit is brought by Lillian Verona, an actress, formerly of Hammerstein's "A Hot Old Time" company, against John Kiehl, who has a drug store at Third avenue and Thirteenth street. The complaint, drawn by Charles L. Hoffman, attorney for the plaintiff, alleges that Miss Verona went to the druggist's on Dec. 15, 1000, and bought and paid 10 cents for what she thought was henna loaf, said to be "known as a safe and reliable dye to change hair to that hue of red known as auburn." She took her purchase home and applied it to her locks, which were once dark brown. The next morning her hair came out bright green, it is said. For tho shock- of this discovery and the expense of coaxing her hair back to its once natural shade she claims to have been injured in the amount for which she sues. A lock or her hair, cut off while her hair was all green, will be offered in evidence at the trial. Elevated Itoad for Philadelphia. NEW YORK, Jan. 4. Plans for a proposed elevated railway for Philadelphia have been practically completed here. It is reported that J. Pierpont Morgan will finance the Philadelphia company.

nisTiv rrr I n v AVOS DY CAPT.

COLEMAX. A STEAMIIOATJ1AN. Hovr He Cnrrled President Taylor from A'icksburK to Memphis, Despite the Efforts of a Rival. Louisville Courier-Journal. Cantain Thomas C. Coleman, who had heen ill for some time at his home, "The Meadows," near Shepardsville, died Tuesday morning, Dec. 17. Captain Coleman was born in Cork, Ireland, March 27, 1S21. His father, of the same name, was also a native of Cork, where he was born in 1S0Q, and a graduate of the University of Dublin. He entered upon commercial persults, was successful in business, and while still a young man became part owner of a line of steam packets. In 1S31 he came to America and soon after settling in Louisville entered into the steamboat business. In 1S49, having been successful as the owner and commander of a number of steamboats, he purchased the Louisville rolling mills and was the leading: iron founder of Louisville until his death in 1S61. He left seven sons and several daughters. Of the former, Thomas C. Coleman was the elder, and, having been closely associated with his father in the iron business, succeeded him as president of the Rolling Mill Company and continued at the head of the corporation durins its existence. Since then he has been engaged in the business of an iron merchant in association with his son, Mr. T. C. Coleman, jr., and regarded as a leading authority in all matters pertaining to the manufacture of iron. In early life he engaged in the steamboat business as clerk, and afterward a captain of boats in the Ohio and Mississippi river trade. In 1S4S he commanded the Saladin, a first-class passenger steamboat plying between Louisville and New was a popular officer with Orleans, and the traveling public. Of a remarkably sturdy frame and strong constitution. Captain Coleman withstood the advance of age with but little apparent encroachment upon his vitality. But two years ago he narrowly escaped death in a rear-end collision upon the train in which he was returning home, a lady to whom he had politely given up his seat being killed. Although he received no apparent bodiiy injury, it is thought that the shock to his nervous -system impaired his vitality and led to the termination of his life earlier than it otherwise would have occurred. On July 3, lSU, Captain Coleman married Dulclnea, daughter of Gen. William Johnson, a prominent farmer and legislator of Scott county, Kentucky, who survives him. The union was blessed with a large family of children, most of whom have married and removed to other States, but all are frequent visitors to the paternal roof tree. Captain Coleman's living children are Mrs. Edgar Moxham of New York; Mrs. Arthur Moxham of Sidney, Cape Breton, Canada; Mrs. Charles Marshall of Louisville; Mrs. Thomas Ward, of Birmingham; Mr. Johnson Coleman of Washington; Mr. T. C. Coleman, jr., of The Meadows; Miss Bertie Coleman, Miss Ophelia Coleman and Mrs. Jennie Johnson, all of The Meadows. THE ZACHARY TAYLOR EPISODE. To go down in history as the only person who ever kidnaped a President of the United States should be enough for one man, and this distinction belongs to Capt. Coleman. That was in those old days before the railroads had bound th in nl with steel, just after the Mexican war, when water road the Mississippi was the Errand of the country's progress and the floating palaces that plied from Louisville to New Orleans were famous on two continent Zachary Taylor was President of the United öiaies ana captain Coleman kidnaped him and ran away gayly up stream with the ofllcial steamer of conveyance struggling far in the rear after the river greyhound Saladin. That was on Zachary Taylor's triumphal tour of the country, and the fame of the exploit brought thousands on thousands of dollars to the Colemans and established their line of steamers as the foremost in the river trade. The first Thomas C. Coleman's line of packets, plying from Louisville to New Orleans, were the big Heating palaces of that day, and the pride of the lot was the Saladin. Nothing that beat water on two rivers could hold her when Captain Coleman chose to turn her loose 'with a nigger squat on her safety valve and her furnace choked with resin and pine." Young T C Coleman commanded her. There was a boat belonging to a rival line that sometimes disputed with the Saladin the sway of the river. The rival always had a chance, but the Saladin always got there first. President Zachary Taylor was on his famous tour of the country. To command the boat that carried him on the Mississippi was an honor co feted by all the captains "Old Hough, and Ready" was a Kentuckian and a warm friend of the Coleman so they expected, of course, to be chosen for the honor of conveying the President However, the wishes of General Taylorwere not consulted. He was at Vicksburg Miss., and the reception committee there decided that the rival boat should carry him up to Memphis. When the word c-une to New Orleans, where the boats were laid i-p, the disappointment on the Saladin was intense, for it was the loss of a sure thinrwhile the joy on the rival boat was cf course, the greater from the unexpectedness of the victory. Pig monsters of gloom and joy, the steamers pulled away from the New Orleans docks side by side. "Anyway, boys, we'll show them the Saladin is the better boat," said Captain Ccleman, and his crew answered him with The Saladin began to draw ahead Th-n together, lickety-split, up the river Mipv -u'"1 uuu ijiv; utuiJie Uli Hie IPVPP3 11 1 a 1 j 1 .. ..

She was right under the bluff, and the people above could only look down upon her. They were yelling and cheering, shouting enthusiastic good-byes to the President. And in the midst of the excitement the soldier and his escort committee went aboard. They went straight up to the cabin, and then, without waiting to unload cargo or anything the big river flier tore away from the dock As she straightened out in the stream and began pounding away under full pressure for Memphis, the "smoke of another steamer, desperately driven, came in iirht around the last bend down stream They had been geing half an hour when the escort committee sent for the eint en of the boat.

The President came out looking very solemn. "Tom," he began, and, walking up. he shook his finger in Captain Coleman s face. "Tom, you scamp, what do you mean by getting me into this?" Then he turned to the angry, sulky escort committee: "Gentlemen, I reckon about all we can do Is to take a drink." And that ended the kidnaping of the President. POPULARITY OF PCA11LS. They Have Doubled In Value In the Last Few Years. New York Tribune. "The great and growing demand among the so-called precious stones is pre-eminently for pearls," said Chandler Christy, of Chicago. "Pearls have enormously enhanced; in fact, they have practically doubled in value in the last tew years, and the desire to possess them is seemingly without abatement. One of the great American jewelers who has shops as well in London and Paris told me that the demand for pearls was greater than the supply, and that he consequently looked for a steady enhancement in value even over the present high prices, and that for this reason he regarded the purchase of good pearls as a first-class investment, certain in time to yield a good return on the capital. A certain wealthy friend of mine asked me while in Paris this summer to run into this jeweler's and look over a couple of strings which she thought of purchasing. Nothing loath I obeyed, and my reward was great. The Jeweler displayed to my astonished gaze strings of pearls such as I never expected to see and thought only existed in the fervid imagination of the author of 'Lothair.' They were in this case literally in 'ropes,' and, the jeweler told me. were the finest collection and the most valuable that had ever been got together. The two strings my friend was hesitating' over came to S40,(XX) and 425.0X) francs, lespectively, and to my untutored eye seemed identical in size and appearance. "The jeweler, however, pointed out differences in the sheen and the regularity with which they were matched," continued Mr. Christy, "which, small and unimportant as they seemingly were, nevertheless made this enormous difference in the value of the two necklaces. He assured rne also that from the investment point of view the more expensive would prove the cheaper in the end, for if the purchaser should desire to dispose of it at some time in the future it would command the readier market. This jeweler told me a number of curious things about pearls. He said that they never died, which is contrary to the popular idea. The dead white pearls those one is accustomed to think of as dead this jeweler advised me, had always been that way. I instanced a world-renowned necklace which had been collected by a famous New York banker. The jeweler told me he knew the necklace well and that the pearls had always been the same color. In past days these dead white pearls were popular, arid had been so when the banker collected the necklace, for which he had paid a colossal sum. The jeweler told me pearls of this kind were no longer in vogue, and commanded only a small price in proportion to that brought by pearls with a sheen, and he said he doubted whether this necklace if now placed on the market would bring a fraction of its original cost, despite the fact that it is probably the most perfectly matched string of large-sized pearls known. He also told me that his firm had in 1S05 sold a string Tor $00,000, and that in 1900 they had bid $1j0,0"0 for the same string in an unsuccessful effort to repurchase it. The finest individual pearl that has appeared in Paris in years was purchased in the French capital this summer by Gates, the steel magnate. "In this connection It Is not without Interest that two great firms in this city have within the last two months changed the signs over their stores, so that. Instead of reading 'diamonds and precious stones,' they have now become 'pearls and precious stones.' " The Rev. Oscar F. Moore, of Kast Oranpe, N.
