The San Francisco Chronicle has
the following 10 say in regard to the
admission OF Washington Territory
into the Union: That Territory
is better qualified by reason Of
population. property and immediate
future prospects, for the condition
Of statehood, than several states now
in the union. aud much better than
oregon, Nevada, Florida, Colorado
and Nebraska were when they came
into the union of tho states. The
nlesgage Of Gov. Newell tn this
Legislature is at hand. A more in
ierc.t!ug executive document IL sell
dom seen. 1t fairly opens with the
rot idle boast that "for manifest
reasons wo are about 20 assumo a
foremost petition in the affairs OF
the world" This Is true beyond Il
doubt. In extent Washington Ter
yitory is just 100000 acrea more
tbap twice tho area Of the state Of
Indiana. 1t will be the next thing
to miracle, it with all the advant>
ages Of location, soil, climate and
vigorous blood, Washington does
not, Within the next five years.
reach representative population OF
$4,000, or total property valua-
ton of slO0,000,000. Such terri
tory should BIO admitted into the
union as state upon application.
The Governors message urges the
admission, but an application with
out presenting a constitution, viii
not and should not BIO granted. The
people Of Washington made Il con>
stitution several years ago and ap>
FLIED tor admission, but failed boz
cause tho population was then too
small They might represent that
constitution this winter with largely
improved chances of success. Every
Pacific Coast member should, ana
probably would, favor the move
ment. II is objected that this old
constitution is cumbersome. Then
let it be remodeled by Congress and
adopted by the new state after add
mission. We hepe Congress will at
the coming session admit Washing
toB as state into tho Union. BY
every honest landmark which has
been observed in the increase Of the
s;atos, it may claim admission.

that the most valuable wood Of the

for ship building, ana the forests OF

wood is also susceptible Of Il high

The Coal Trade.

Philadelphia Ledger, 18th inst: The an,
thracite coal trade continues in condition
Of great dullness, but that is its usual state
at this time Of the year, and the revival
rarely comes before April or May. There
is an absence Of orders ut this pUrt, and con
seQuently very restricted shipment ems; or
south, while the output being in excess OF
the sales, is storing up anthracite at the
shipping ports here and in New York.
Buyers take only what coal is necessary to
keep them going, and they still await the
announcement of the spring prices and tolls
winch it is essential 10 know before the
spring business opens On large scale. The
half time output continues, and is not ex.
pected to change this month. There is moth .
lag new Transporting aud the whole trade
may be described as in waiting mood.
The total amount OF anthracite coal sent
To market for the week ending March 8, as
relHrted by the several carrying companies
was 1926 tons, c,'mpared with $40, ,062
tons in the corresponding week last year, a
decrease of lI7,lO6 tons. The total amount
of anthracite mined thus far this year is 4,
