Thi3 speech, it is thou?ht, will be an -jtnofBeial declaration of the atti tude of the administration on the trust question. - J dealers w?re asked if ihey would handle the coal sn.l tney said they -would gladly. Mr. Barber agreed to take as-much as could be delivered to him at his yards in Water street., right nnder ths Brook lyn bridge, j and other dealers said that they would too. r The condition on which the railwara release the coal is that it is s6!d by the pailful at the cost of handling. There is to be no profit for any one in the sale of this coal, and each dealer who handles it has pledged to use every eTTort to prevent small dealers, specula tor and others getting it. Mr. Barber asked the Oak. street po lice t give him a squad of policemen to aist in keeping order at his yards during the distribution of the coal. ; He does not anticipate trouble, but wants to have some one around to heln hrm ckase small grocers and peddlers away. The coal will be sold at 15 cents a paii,1 which Is at the rate of almost $9 a ton. The price of coal today -was $20 a ton, and by the pail much more. - Anthracite coal remains at the same high price and has advanced from-$20 to $24 In the -last few days.

One of . the : most gratifying1 results of our investigation,"- said General Tor rance, was to tod tnat no ground ex isted for the wholesale charges of fraud so often made against the pensioners. "Another fact should be emphasized and made clear to the American people, and that is that there are more than 200,000 surviving Union soldiers whose names do not and never have aspeared upon the pension roll. It is true that the roll has almost reached the million mark, but of this number there were on July 1 only 725,100 names of Union soldiers.
