SECRETARY M4ANINGS SICKNESS.

BELIEF THAT Ills CONDITION Is SERIOUS THOUGH
HIS DOCTORS PRONOUNCE HIM BETTER.
WASHINGTON, March 2f (Spec;dt.-lt is
the general impression that the sickness OF Secretary
Manning is more serious than was at first believed
His symptoms to-day to have been those OF apo
pey and the guarded statements OF his physicians ind
cate that they have TO fear that the case
soon may assume more serious phase. This forenoon
at IL O'Clock Drs Lincoln and Hamilton reported tas
the condition the patient mad not changed materially
since midnight. He had slept nearly all night but
awoke unrefreshed and, as Dr. Lincoln expressed IT,
" was very weak and unable to sit up although 10
seemed TO be in good spirits and his mind was clear
Dr. Lincoln added that Mr. Manning was suffering greatly
from weakness and prosJration resulting from oyerwor
For some time the seeretary's family and intimate
friends have been anxious about him, although he
seemed to in robust health and they have frequently
demonstrated with him account OF his long, close
application to routine matters which might be conhded
to subordinaes His attention 10 such details 1t is said
has robbed Of time that should have been devoted
to rest and physical exercise
Ats D. III. Mr.. Manning reported to be "much bet
ter" and six hours later the report was made AZ
he was still said be very weak and unable to sit up
the reports were interpreted to mean that the difficult
which had alarmed his family aud gwen ma
physicians great anxiety mad been relieved
and that much-needed rest would complete a cure Al
IO o'clock tonight his condition was said to be un'
changed At later hour he said to be no worse,
and there is a prospect that he will pass comfortable

THE COIL COMPACT.

There is little reason in the complaint now
commonly made that the coal companies are
irving to extort money wrongfully from the
public in the effort to raise the price OF coal.
For the price is remarkably low, and has rarely
been lower. For months the trade has been
carried on at an actual loss by some companies,
and without profit enough to cover naked
interest on the actual investment OF capital by
others Yet the business is very large. In
February the output was $4,000 tons more
than in the same month of 1885, while the
increase in stocks was 900 tons, leaving an
increase of.399, OOO tons in the quantity sold
or consumed. But last years consumption was
nearly the largest in the history of the country,
and an increase of 100000 tons In output
and over l, 100000 tons at least in consump-
ON. d uring the first quarter of the year, seems
established. Under ordinary circumstances
This state of the market would Justify some
advance from the phenomenally low prices
which have prevailed. If that advance had
occurred in the usual way, as consequence OF
the legitimate demand for consumption, there
would not have been any surprise nor would
there have been reason for complaint. But
mbination of producers and carriers to force
nm advance in prices naturally meets with
hostility.
The leason is obvious, and it would be well
for the companies to consider it. The public
assumes that no combination would be required
if the state of trade warranted an advance IN
nrices. The companies say this is not true !;
that the circumstances are exceptional; that
fear of unrestrained competition and great
accumulation of stock have produced abnormal
dep,ession. But are not these phenomena only
results of the mistaken policy OF combination
Is il not true that the most potent cause OF
depression has been the belief that the com
NAMES could not effectively combine though
they were persisting in production beyond the
needs of business in the hope of successful
combination I Has not the price been abnor-
mally low because of this very policy, and
would not natural causes have limited produce
ton on the one hand, and strengthened prices
on the other, If it had been known that no
artificial arrangement would be attempted If
this is the fact the policy of the companies
has subjected them to loss for months. Ii is
question whether il can now so succeed as to
recover what they have lost already. The
nnblio instinct may not be far wrong. When
dealers conspire together 10 advance prices. 1t

ence that the circumstances either do not

CAPTAIN CRAVFORDS DEATH.

The supplemental report made by Lieutenant
Maus seems to leave no room for doubt as to the
treachery which marked the killing OF Captain
Crawford. The story told by the Mexcans, that
they had been IN pursuit of the Apaches, and
that finding CrawfOrds command so close to
the Indian camp they confused the two is COM
pletely contradicted by the evidence of Lieu
tenant Maus to the effect that the Mexican trail
came from the opposite direction to that of the
Indians, showing that the latter had not been
followed by the assailants of Crawford at all.
The witnesses brought forward by Lieutenant
Maus also add important new statements to the
history of the case. One of them says he was
talking to q Mexican soldier when the latter
raised his gun and shot him in the arm. This
goes to confirm the original account, according
tn which the Mexicans had been some time in
omen communication with members of Craw-
ford's command when the firing began.
1t is to be observed that every ray of fresh
light thrown upon the circumstances CT Captain
Crawford's death strengthens the conclusion
that it was, as Lieutenant Maus declares it to
have been, 6n assassination. The motive OF
the crime is by no means so clear. The sug-
pestion that the Mexicans hoped to plumber
Crawfords camp is scarcely admissible, for they
must have known that there could be little
there worth taking, and still less worth fighting
for as men would have to fight who undertook
the humiliation of a body of American troops.
But it is not incumbent upon the United States
Government or people to find an adequate mo-
tive for this outrage. The fact that it was per-
petra ed having been so certified and confirmed
as to destroy doubt, it remains only to demand
and insist upon such prompt and full repara-
ton as is possible. Nothing indeed can COM
pensate the United States Army for the loss of
SO distinguished an officer as Captain Crawford,
but tue Mexican Government can take measures
which will teach its half-savage troops to abstain
hereafter from the deliberate assassination of
oar soldiers, and it should be required to do
this with as little delay as possible.

The doubt which THE TRIBUNE expressed
yesterday as to the correctness of the reports
of a fresh outbreak in Madagascar proves to
have been amply justified. 1t turns out that
the desperate battle said to have occurred at the
end of February really took place last Septem-
Der before the treaty was signed between the
French and the HOvas
