I The Chicago Tribune says :â€"-E’residenfl 1 James \V. Ellsworth of the Union Na- tional Bank will leave for \Vashington Monday to urge the establishment 011 an arbitration treaty with Canada on! coal products. The publication of the new tariff billis the cause of consider- able commotion among coal miners and shippers who claim that the bill is de- fective in its consideration of coal, Mr. Ellsworth says he received advance in- formation last week from! Canada that Canada will raise its duty on- coal from its present schedule of 60 cents to 75 cents a ton if the United States Gov- ernment insists upon raising tariff on Canadian coal for the existing rate of 40 cents to 75 cents, as proposed in the newtariff bill. Ms. Ellsworth claims ;this will cause the business in the iOhio and Pennsylvania coal fields to Edecrease.‘ The only way in which the §sitnation can be repaired is to enter {into reciprocal relations with Canada on coal. -A‘ â€" 3-- '1‘ “The assage of result in the cans carry Nova Scotia. rence River toTox worth. “"‘his m4 all “The assage of this tariff bill will] result in the construction of boats to! carry Nova Scotia coal up the St. LaW- : rence River toToronto,” said Mr.Ells-â€" , worth. “This means that roads now carrying coal to Canada from the Ohio and Pennsylvania coal fields will have to give up this business. The Michi- gan Central, Grand Trunk and Cana- dian Pacific are the lines affected. “Canada is determined to retaliate for ant,r tariff We place upon its coal. By, opening up reciprocity with: that coun- try the Ohio coal fields will be benefit- ed 25 per cent, and the Pennsylvania fields no less than from 11') to 15 per- cent. khan)? mines no r idle would be opened and others now working part time weald run an; their full capacitvi I rc-ncsc to go to Viashington Monday cl. and make an effort to have this coan~ try open relations with Canada on- coal.

Experts have valued the stone at about $1,346,890. The Nina-which weighed 34-0 carats in the rough, is described by Barbot, who values it at $1,000,080. But little is known of its history.
