TAILOR S TALE OF NEW SPRINu OVERCOAT

Present Trend Is Toward Longer Garment of Less Extreme Cut. While It is hardly likely that you will be arrested for wearing a topcoat of abbreviated length. If you're going to indulge yoiT?' If w!" j overgarment this spr.ng you'd better have It cut an inch or two longer than the faddish coat ttNt reigned in V. The extremely long laj'l and narrow coat collar are likewise passing. Shou 1 d e r s of garments of correct cut show a refreshing return to nature. The biz. broad-shoul dered, built-up affair has been relegated to the rear. The new shoulder Is still on' the concave order, but Is gracefully rounded over the arm. Instead of being square and bulky. The man who likes to keep step with fashion will want ni spring overcoat made of some dark fancy fabric. More conservative men probably will prefer some one of the many hades of tan, or Oxford grey, or plain black. The Kahn Tailoring Company, corner of Washington and Meridian streets, is making topcoats of this character at fromH8 up. beyond doubt, with the greatest industrial conflict in its history. In the four States approximately 150.UJ0 miners would be affected, while at a conservative estimate SO,') miners of outlying States, would be Involved In the struggle. These figures do ot take into account the number of nonunion men who would go out on strike. Not only would the coal mining industry Of the middle West be tied up but within a few weeks the gre.U manufacturers would be compelled to close their factories because of the lack of fuel. It is said that within a month or six weeks all the larger consuir. rh of coal would have to close down their business should a strike be carried into äfftet With 200.0UU mn out on strike the loss of each day's work would amount to over $512,000, which would mean a dally loss to the operators of at least SSO. 000. Should the strike continue for six weeks or two months the miners would lose In wages over $15,000,000, and the operators almost $3.500.000. On the other hand there would be great expense entailed by the miners in supporting their families and meeting the cost of the strike and a similar expense on the aide of the operators in fighting the strike. The conflict would sink into the coffers of the national treasurer of the miners' orSanlzation and cost it daily thousands of oliars. INTERSTATE MOVEMENT. The interstate mo,.ment, which ended so abruptly yesterday, was founded seven years ago. when a ma ting of operators and miners of the four States was held in Chicago and a Joint scale agreed upon. Since that time the movement has gone on, becoming more and more the principle which bs made the organization of the United Mine Workers the leading labor union in the world. It has been cherished, too, by the operators almost as much as by the miners. The meeting just ended was the seventh annual conference. The first Convention was held in Chicago ca Jan. 17, 13. and was presided over by W. H. Holcomb. of Chicago. At this conference the minors secured an advance in the mining rate, the following base rates being established: Pennsylvania and Ohio, 66 cents per ton for lump coal; Indiana, bituminous. 66 cents for lump coal per ton, eu cents per ton for run of mine, 7t; cents per ton for block coal; Illinois, with Danville as basic point, 40 cents per toa, mine run. The second conference was held the next year In Pittsburg ou Jan. 17, and was presided over by A x..nder Dempster. The scale of the previous year was reaffirmed. Indianapolis was the meeting place of the third conference, which was presided over by W.S. Bogle, of Indiana. It was held on Jan. 23 and was in session until Feb. 3. At this conference the miners secured another advance of 14 cents for lump and 9 cents lor mine run, making the scale as follows: Pennsylvania and Ohio and the block district of Indiana, lump, 80 cents per ton; Indiana bituminous, mine run, 49 cents per ton; Indiana bituminoits, lump, W cents per ton; Illinois, 49 cents per ton. The fourth convention was held in Columbus, O., Jan. 31. 1901. and was presided over by Walter J. Mulling, of Ohio. The convention was in session until Feb. 9. G. W. Trser was chairman of the Joint conference of 190J, which was held again in Indianapolis. At both of these conferences the scale of 19o0 was reaffirmed. At the conference of 1903 the miners once more secured an advance. The meeting was held in this city on Jan. 29. and was presided over by Q. V. Traer, of Illinois. The advance given the miners amounted to 10 cents for lump and 6 cents for mine run. setting the present scale, which is as follows: Pennsylvania, Ohio and the block district of Indiana, lump coal, 90 cents per ton; Indiana bituminous mine run. 65 cents per ton; Indiana bituminous, lump, 90 cents per ton; Illinois bituminous, mine run, with Danville as basis point, 3ä cents per ton.

SUPPLY OF COIL IN CITY WOULD UST ONLYAFEW raSIFASTRKON Shippers While' Small Supply Is Available, Depend Upon Shipments at the Mines.

CONSUMERS UNAFFECTED Small Rise in Price of Commodity Is Said to Be Due to Natural Causes. Should a strike he declared by the United Min "Workers of America the local coal supply may be sufficient to satisfy demands for from four to six weeks. This was the opinion of a majority of the large coal dealers in Indianapolis last night. An optimistic view was taken of the situation by most of the coal dealers, but some inclined to the belief that a coal famine was inevitable and that the commodity would rise to an exorbitant price. "There need be no fears of a coal famine at all," said A. M. Ogle, president of the Island Coal Company, last night. "The worst calamity I think that can happen In this particular will be what the people will bring upon themselves by unnecessary talk. There is an abundance of coal at tho mines and enough to supply the demands for a long time yet. it Is nearing the time of the year when the miners are reducing their force and closing down some of the mines anyway. 1 think there need be no fears of a famine or exorbitant prices." Charles H. Buddenbaum, of the firm of Buddenbaum & Heller, believed that the price of coal would, as a natural consequence, be raised, but thought that a famine would not necessarily follow. "I do not see why there should be a famine," ho said, "or why the price of coal should be raised exorbitantly, it is the time of the year when the demand will not be heavy and most of the dealers have kept and have now a good supply of coal on hands. Moreover 1 do not believe the strike will be of long duration as I believe the operators and min-rs will soon get together and effect a compromise, yfm have WJ0 tons of coal here and 5uu tons ordered and on the road." CONSUMERS ARE FAVORED. Charles Balke, of Balke & Krauss, was not so optimistic and held that a coal famine might result from the strike should one occur. He thought, however, that the price of coal would not greatly exceed the prices of coal during the anthracite strike. There could not help but be a hardship caused," he thought, "should a strike occur. This season favors the consumers, excepting the manufacturers. With them the price of coal would necessarily ritt," His tirm has 1,00 tons of coal on hand and Sou tons ordered. "I don't see why there should necessarily be a famine." said Albert Goepper, secretary of the Consolidated Coal and Lime Company. "The prices will rise some, but not enough to frighten the people. I would Judge," he continued, "that we have about 1,400 tons of coal on hand and about &0U tons ordered." Prank A. Fauvre, of the Fauvre Coal Company, and Mr. Garstang. of the Garstaug Fuel Company, 'also telieved that the strike would not be as severe as most ieople thought and that the price of coal would not, in the course of reason, become excessive. The Fauvre Coal Company doe3 not keep a yard, but tills BBOSt of its orders from cars. The Qarstang Coal Company has 14M tons of coal in the yards and 750 tons ordered. NO DISASTER AHEAD. The Island Coal Company supplies most of its coal from its own mines but has In its yards 5,000 tons. The Dynes Lumber and Coal Company has approximately 300 tons of coal and has ordered 150 tons. The Eclipse Coal Company has about 1,500 tons and 1,8U0 tons ordered. S. R. Greer, of the Greer-Wilkinson Company, said that should there be a strike he was not of opinion that it would result disastrously. It would, he thought, raise the price to an extent, but not beyond reason. His company had on hands In Indianapolis 2,000 tons, with about 900 tons ordered. The greatest calamity that could result from the strike would be in working hardships to manufacturers. For domestic use no' great alarm. It was thought, need be feared as the supply was sufficient for a reasonable length of time. PRIEST AND DOMESTICS LOSE LIVES IN A FIRE Rectory of a Long Island Church Burns, Resulting in a Trio of Fatalities. TWO PRIESTS INJURED NEW YORK, March 5. One priest and two servants were killed and two other priests were seven ly injured at a fire which destroyed St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church and the adjoining rectory in Long Island City to-day. Those killed WTfg the Rev. Father Ernest, 27 yt'ars old. and Mary and Margaret Bra.iy, domestics. Those injured are the Rev. Joseph Kearney, abrasions of face, hands and left hip. and the Rev. Father Hinnigan, shock end contusions. The money loss by fire was estimated at $35,000. Father Ernest Is believed to have lost his life while trying to save the two women. Tin rectory was a three-stroy hrtek building with an attic. The two women slept in the attic and the priests had apartments on the second and third floors. Tlv fire. which started in the passageway connecting th.- church and the rectory, sprang to !ti structures with great rapidity, and by thtime the firemen reached the ageDe tho whole rectory was ablaze. Father Kearney made his way down stairs through thblinding smoke and escaped into the Ulli. He is injured about the face and hands, having been cut and bruised while groping his way through the smoke. Father Hennigen. who is the rector of the church, saved himself by sliding down a plank which was raised to the second story window by some workmen who ran to the seen.- t gjve what assistance they could. His hands Wen cut by the rough edges of the plank and his !et:s wpt bruised. He is suffering severely f r m shock and exposure. Margaret and Mary Brady, who v re ssters. appeared at a Window of the attic just as the first fire department arriv. l. A ladder was raised but it was too short to reach them and before a longer one couid be raistd they fell back into the flames.

APPEAL OF DREYFUS FOB REVISION OF HiS TRIAL mmn court Supplemental Investigation to Establish All Doubtful Points Also Ordered.

ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY For the French Army Officer Who Was Convicted of Treason and Sent to Devil's Isle. PARIS, March 5.-The criminal branch of the Court of Cassation to-day granted the appeal of Alfred Dreyfus for a revision of his trial at Rennes. The court held that a sufficient showing had been made to warrant a re-opening of the case, and ordered a supplementary investigation to establish all the doubtful points which have been the basis for the present application to re-open the case. The decision is another marked success for Dreyfus, although it is not yet final, owing to the extended supplementary Investigation which must follow the court's decision. The decision was given at the close of the third day's hearing. Comparatively little Interest has been taken in tne session of the court and the courtroom was almost deserted, there being less than fifty persons prt ocnt at the final session. Among these were Maitre Labori, the famous lawyer who defended Dreyfus at Rennes, and several members of the Dreyrus family. Most of the day was given to the address of Maitre Mornard, one of Dreyfus's counsel. He covered much the same ground as Attorney General Boudoin and Counselor Boyer, arguing that the case made aguinst Dreyfus was a tissue of invention. He closed with an eloquent appeal, saying that the honor of the army and Its officers demanded the removal of the stain of this unjust conviction. An Incident occurred during M. Mornard's address. Counsel referred to Dreyfus'a "great qualities of heart and exalted character and turned toward M. Labori, as if making a persona appeal to have his statements confirmed. Thereupon M. Labori arse and left: the courtroom, causing some commotion. M. Labori was quoted as saying In the corridor that he did not wish, by his presence, to confirm the eulogy pronounced upon his former client's heart and character. Following M. Mornard's address the court retired, remained closeted for an hour and then returned and gave out the decision sustaining the appeal for a revision of the trial and ordering a supplementary investigation. This decision from the highest tribunal of France goes a long way toward the rehabilitation of Dreyfus, the subsequent steps being generally regarded as formalities for carrying out this favorable attitude of the court. The court's decision does not discuss the merits of the case. It merely recites the various Heps taken in behalf of a revision of the trial, declares that these steps conform with the legal requirements of the French code and concludes with the statement that the documents presented warrant the court in receiving the appeal, but do not permit a final judgment. Therefore the supplementary investigation is ordered. It is expected that this investigation will take some time, perhaps two or three months, as it involves the hearing of testimony and a thorough sifting of the evidence on the points which thus far have been presented through documents. The ultimate form of the final decision also remains open. The criminal branch of the Court of Cassation will conduct the supplementary investigation and thereafter its findings will be presented by the United Branch of the Court of Cassation, which is the supreme and final authority. It is the expectation of the highest government authorities that the court's final deci: i..n will rehabilitate Drevfus, but the Court of Cassation has the right to order another trial before a military court. It was announced from London in June, 1901. at the time of Maitre Lebori's visit to England, that it hid developed that the relations between the lawyer and Dreyfus had greatly changed sime the Rennes trial, which was roncludr-d in September. 199. M. Labori's friends were reported to have said that Dreyfus had treated his lawyer shamefully. They declared that the last time Dreyfus staid in Paris h? never went near M. Labor! and had in other ways shown what they stigmatized as an utter lack of Krjititude. M. Labori. it was added, did not conceal his appreciation of these circumstances, but he was as ardent as ever, declaring in private that Dreyfus was wrongfully convicted, the slightest suggestion to the contrary being sufficient to send the lawyer into a passionate denunciation of Dreyfus's detractors. , HILL IS IN CONTROL OP New York State Convention to Select Delegates Will Be Held at Albany April 18. STATE ME N T BY MURPHY ALBANY, N. T.. March 5. Tho Democratic State convention, which will select delegates to the national convention, will be held at Albany on Monday. April is. This was decided by the State committee to-day. The real result was arrived at before the committee met at meeting betv e-n former Fenator Hill and lender Murphy, of Tammany. Senator Hill acceded to Mr. Murphy's request to pot the date for the ISth instead of the 13th. and. Mr. Murphy finding that Mr. Hill controlled a majority of the committee, acquiesced la the selection of Albany instead of New York. There was an undercurrent of friction betwetn.the two tactions during the meeting and this found vent afterwards in a statement prepared at the request of Mr. Murphy, after the adjournment of the committee. This reads: "It was hoped that the meeting of the State committee would be the oceaiou.for a demonstration of Democratic baraonj Walen would be an earnest int ntion of the Democrats of the State to bury all past factions 1 differences and present a united front in the battle this year, the first skirmish of which was won foal year in the city of Nt w York. The tlrst indication of any breach in the harmony was afforded when the intimation was conveyed th;.t the State committee would be asked at its meeting to pass resolutions, if not of Indorsement, at least of confidence In one of the prospective presidential candidates. The leader of the Democratic party in New York city, Mr. Murphy, who has consistently believed that the cuuse of the pail J Would be best served by a delegation to St. Louis left free to use its own judgment, at oaeo declared that in hij opiuion it would he unwise at this early date to prejudge the issue by declaring for any one choice. In the face of the energetic opposition maintained by Mr. Murphy, it Is satisfactory to know that the sounder judgment of the party finally conceded the propriety of thi stand."

Ind., March 5.-The CI. Hand glass factory was closed on Friday because of lack of gas and trouble with some of the workmen about market money. Manager James Clelland hopes to have gas enough to begin work again at midnight Sunday, and will adopt a change In the working-, using three shifts of four blowers each instead of two shifts of six blowers. In this way he expects to have better results with the glass, as it will not be pulled on so hard at any one time. The trouble over market money arose out of the fact that because of a shortage of gas and other causes the men have not been able to work full time recently, even when so disposed; yet they demanded full market money as though they had made their full quota of boxes. Tho agreement signed by the men calls for market money to correspond with the amount of glass made, and while Manager Clelland has been lenient in the past, he says that in the future the agreement will be strictly adhered to.
