With the Interstate Commerce

Washington, Dec. 27.?R. W. Aus
tin, of Knoxville, Tenn., trading as
the Live and Let Live Coal company,
which company, he states, was formed

Womeni Christian association for the
poor, has filed a complaint with the
Interstate commerce commission, al
leging that the Southern railway is
discriminating In the supply of car3
for the coal trade. Mr. Austin says
his company's charges are "greatly
below the extortionate prices per ton
exactcd by the other coal dealers of
Knoxville and that these dealers have
formed a combination and fixed &
schedule of prices and agreed not to
sell below that schedule. The com
plaint alleges that In furnishing cars
for the transportation of coal from the
mines at Jelllco, Tenn., to Knoxville
and other points on the Southern an.l
connecting lines, the defendant com
pany is discriminating against the
complainant, the owners of the mines
shipping to the complainant, the con
sumers and the city of Knoxville it
self, and that the railroad compan"
is legally required to furnish the com
plainant. with sufficient cars to enable
it to do business and compete cn
equal terms with other established
coal (Valers in Knoxville. An Investi
gation is asked for.

iatest Phase of Venezuelan
Trouble Meets Lukewarm
Welcome in London.
SAY ROOSEVELT ACTED WISELY.
Arbitration by President Had Been
Looked Upon as So Desirable that
His Refusal Has Caused Keen Dis
appointment to the British.
London, Dec. 27.?Except by the op
ponents of *he government, who view
it as a virtual defeat and as discredit
ing the ministry, the latest phase of
the Venezuelan trouble has been wel
comed very lukewarmly. Arbitration
by President .Roosevelt had uesn an
ticipated as so desirable an ls&ue from
a difficult business that his refusal,
which is regarded as final, has caused
keen disappointment. It is foreseen
that even If satisfactory conditions to
the submission of the disputes to The
Haguo court can be arranged this
method will entail endless and weari
some details, with no assurance that
at the end President Castro will still
be In power or Venezuela In the mood
to abide by the decision of The Hague.
In short, that element of guarantee
which would have accompanied Pres
ident Roosevelt's acceptance of the
office of arbitrator is now lacking. At
the same time it is readily admitted
that from the American point of view
President Roobevelt has acted wisely
In declining to act.
Tribute to Roosevelt.
The foregoing represents the gen
eral drift of newspaper comment this
morning. The only paper which
really welcomes the decision to refer
the Venezuelan matter to The Haghe
is the radical Dally News, which sees
a chance of making arbitration once
more a reputable theory. Paying a
tribute to the coolness of President
Roosevelt and the correct attitude of
the United States during this "sorrv
business," the Daily News says:
"The Venezuelan crisis lias done
much to enhance Mr. Roosevelt's rep
utation and to bring home to English
men the essential friendliness of the
American people."
The Daily Mail, in a violent attack
upon the government, says: "Thus
ends perhaps the most Inglorious epi
sode in which Great Britain has en
gaged in recent years/'
Keeping Vessels Out.
La Guaira, Dec. 27.?The Swedish
bark Framr.as, from Cardiff, -with 475
tons of coal for the La Gualra-Caracas
railway, a British concern, arrived ot
this port Thursday and was ordered
to remain outside the blockade line.
Yesterday orders were conveyed to
the captain of the bark to leave. Thl3
Btep was taken because the coal was
considered contraband of war. The
vessel was not seized, as she left Car
diff before the treble with Venezuela
commenced. The captain of the Fram
nas Is awaiting oiders from his con
signees.
The Dutch consul here has asked
for and obtained the permission of the
commander of the British cruiser
Tribune to ssnd a schooner to Los
Roques. a group of small Islands^
about 120 <r.llcs north of here, wher *
the charcoal burners who trade with
La Guaira are at present without pro
visions or water, their sloops having
been seized by the bloclcaders. The
schooner must carry a flag of truce.
She can only take enough provisions
to last the trip, and she will remove
all the Inhabitants of Los Roques to
WlllemBtad, Curacao, and then return
here.
Two schooners were captured yes
terday morning. The total number
of craft taken by the blockading fleet
1b now 20.
The, Hague Tribunal Selected.
Washington. Dec. 27.?President
Roosevolt will not be the arbitrator
of the Venezuelan controversy. The
whole vexatious subject will be re
ferred for adjudication to The Hague
tribunal. Epetomlzed this was the
situation as It resolved Itself at the
conclusion of the cabinet meeting yes
terday.
The presentation of the case met
the hearty approval of the mombern
of the cabinet. No fear Is expressed
by the administration that the Mon
roe doctrine will be brought Into the
controversy In anv manner that might
result in an embarrassing situation
for the United States. Secretary Hay
Is preparing a note to the powers. In
which the gratification of this govern
ment Is expressed for the course
agreed upon by them In settlement of i
the pending difficulties.
It is understood that some money
fiust pass, tut it also Is known that
the amount of cash to be required oC
Venezuela before the arbitration is
not nearly so large as has been stated.
It Is not possible to learn, either,
whether the allies Insist upon apolo
gies from Castro, and. while it Is as- |
mimed that the blockade will be speed- j
lly raised, no arrangement-to that end j
has yet been made. L

"Everything: nil rigtt, sir?" asked

The patron todded, but still the
waiter hovered near.
"Steak cooked to suit you, sir?'* he
asked again presently.
Again the patron nodded.
"Potatoes the way you like 'em,
sir?"
"Yes."
Another period of silence.
| "I hope the service is satisfactory,
sir."
"Are you bidding for a tip?' de
manded the patron.
"Well, sir, of coursc we get tips
| sometimes, and I've got to go to the
kitchen for another party,, so"?
"So you'd like a tip now, to be sure
of it V Well,' I'll give you one."
-Yes, sir."
"Here Is the tip: I have a large,
strident voice that I am capable of us

a roar yori can hear In the kitchen. If
*3'ou don't hear It, you can know I am

"But the tip?"
?'That's the tip. and a mighty good
one It Is too."?Chicago Post.

No doubt many others besides the
writer may have wondered how Johnny
cake came to be thus named. When a
child, I settled It for myself by Imag
ining John Smith, whom Pocahontas
saved, had something to do with it.
The cake, being made of Indian meal,
became thus associated In my mind
with the historical name. A writer In
the Housekeeper says:
In tracing the term we find ourselves
at a time antedating by many years
strain cars and hotels on wheels. In an
age when mankind depended entirely
upon his four footed companions for
transportation and had only saddlebags
In which to carry his luggage. Tav
erns were few and far apart, and a
lunch was always acceptable. Corn
meal, forming so large a part of the
dietary in those days, held a chief place
lu making up the lunch. Wet with wa
ter and a little salt added, It was baked
In a shape that stored away In the sad
dlebags nicely and was called journey
cake. This, ift the origin of our modern,
unconventional johnnycake.
Ground*) Fop Divorce.
A Salem (Mass.) man who sought a
divorce proved, according to a Boston
paper, that his wife tore the sign from
Ills store, put into his ten something
that made him vomit, threw Ids clothes
downstairs, filled his shoes with cold
water, put swill in his overcoat pocket,
threw water over him as he went
downstairs, put pepper in his bed,
made him sleep in an attic, wouldn't
do his washing, wouldn't mend his
clothes, made him darn his socks and
sew buttons on his shirts, spat on his
toast when he was getting his break:
fast, rock'ed In a squeaky chair for
hours at a time to annoy him, put
grease on his Sunday clothes, wouldn't
let him hnv? a tire on the coldest even

Cold Wave and Holiday Closing
of Anthracite Mines Causes
Suffering in the Hast.
NO IMMEDIATE RELIEF ASSURED
Many Families in Philadelphia Leave
Cheerless Homes to Seek Warmth
in Hotels and Apartment Houses.
New York Faces Coal Famine.
Philadelphia, Dec. 27.?This city !;?
face to face, with a coal famine. Two
factors have accentuated this situa
tion. These are the present cold wace
and the practical shutting down cf
the mines by the miners for tte lmt
half of this week for a Christina;; holi
day.
One large voal dealer, speaking yes
terday of the extension by the miners
of their Christmas holiday beyoud
Christmas day, said:
"The loss of a single day's output
at this time is of the most seriouB
consequence. Every curtailment
means increased suffering, sickness,
and possibly death. My coal yards
are empty. There is practically no
bituminous coal and no coke being
shipped here to relieve the situation."
There is already muclC distress
among the poor, and it Is said that if
the cold weather continues many
more days this distress will becomr*
more severe. Hitherto the coal deal
ers have done all in their p6\ver fo
supply the small storekeepers an 1
street peddlers with coal to b3 sold
by the bucket so as to reach the poor,
but this avenue of relief is being
closed rapidly.
"Many families of moderate circum
stances are closing their houses and
establishing themselves in apartment
houses and hotels.
New York, Dec. 27.?Only about
one-half as much coal was received In
New York'yesterday as has come in
each day for the last month. As a re
suit, dealers doled out the precious
stuff In homeopathic doses, and then
only to those whose demands were
urgent.
At Other Points.
Pittsburg, Dec. 27.?Two deaths rc
suited from the cold yesterday; In
both cases the victims were aged men
and their dead'bodies were found
after daylight, frozen stiff in the road
ways, near their homes. This brings
the number of deaths from the cold
up to four. Outside of these there
were also many accidents reported as
the result cf people falling on the icy
streets. At 7 o'clock in the mornlnr
the mercury had fallen to 11 degrees,
and It is probable that before the cold
snap ends the mercury will go down
to about five degrees above zero.
Chicago. Dec. 27.?The cold Is fa
tense throughout the west and north
west. At St. Paul the thermometer
registered 19 below zero, at Sioux
City, la., 15 below, and at many pointr
in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri
to 8 below. Heavy sncw is reported
all around.
Cleveland. Dee. 27.?Snow has been
falling for more than 48 hours through
out the lower lake region. A hign
northwest gale has caused the snov
to drift badly in places along the rail
way lines running into this city, with
thte result that much trouble is experi
enccd in maintaining schedule time.
LiOuisvllle, Dec. 27.?The coldest
weather-of the winter was rcporte.l
yesterday from many places south of
the Ohio river. The temperatures re
ported to the weather bureau ranged
from G degrees above zero at Evans
ville, Ind., to 4G at Galveston and 4>
at Corpus Christ!, Texas.
Atlanta, Ga., Dcc. 27.?The weather
here continues cloar and cold. The
register yesterday was 18. Indica
tions favor continued cold today.
Death List Growing,
Trinidad. Colo., Dec. 27.?A coal
miner from north of Trinidad, who
was taken out cf the debris of the
Colorado and Southern freight wreck
north of Trinidad. Thursday night,
and died a short time later, said just
before expiring that there were 1-1
coal miners beside himself in the cn~
in which be was riding and which was
smashed to splinters. The ruins of
this car still remain under tons of
wreckage. All the men In It must
have perished. It Is now estimated
that the number of dead will reach
from 25 to 30. All of the men In the
wrecked car were going to Trinidad
to spend Christmas. They all came
from coal mining camps north of this
city.
Will Carry Out Bond Plan.
New York. Dec. 27.?Reports that
Ihe bond conversion plan of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation is to be
modified or abandoned because of thr
recent acquisition of the Union and
Sharon Steel companies were author
itatively denied yesterday. The plan
will be carried out as soon as the
legal obstacles now pending are re
moved.
