Coal Held by Operators.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14. Charges have been filed with Governor Yates
and Attorney-General Hamlin that the railways are holding vast quan
tities of coal in their yards with a view to influence prices, and the Attorney-General
is expected to investigate at once and take action to force
the roads to unload the cars and turn the coal over to the dealers.
While it is asserted that there are 5,000 cars of coal aggregating
150,000 tons standing in the yards of the railroad companies near Chi
cago, complainants who have laid the matter before the state authori
ties have proceeded on the assumption that the storing of coal in the yards
has been part of a policy of the roads which are interested in coal-mine
' operating as well as coal transportation.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 14. Congress has passed the bill pro
viding for a rebate on all duties on coal equalling the present tariff on
that article. The Senate amendment to prevent the imposition of duty
on anthracite coal has passed both houses.
A further move against the Coal trust was inaugurated in the House
today when the chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House
introduced a resolution asking for authorization for that Committee to
report a resolution declaring that in the opinion of the House the powers
of Congress will permit Congress to declare it necessary to seize the
coal mines and railroads carrying coal, and operate them.
WASHINTON, D. C. Jan. 14 The Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations has agreed to recommend the adoption of an amend
ment to the Cuban reciprocity treaty providing explicitly that ihe twenty
per cent reduction in the tariff on Cuban sugar coming into the United
States shall not be further reduced by any preferential rate given to an
other country.
This is the provision and protection that the beet sugar growers
especially those of Michigan have been insisting on as the price of their
consent to the treaty. This makes the reduction of the tariff for the
benefit of Cuba a definite percentage which cannot be increased by tariff
juggling or inadvertent legislation or treaty-making.
