Endorsed by the President.

Secretary Blaine spent some time
with the president in determining what
should be the character, of the govern
Iment's answer to Baron Faya's note an
Inouncing his intention to leave the
country. Nh. Blaine, after explaining
to the president the nature of his reply
that should be made, returned to his
home and wrote the note made public
and then submitted it to the president,
who promptly Endorsed it In its en-
tirety, phraseology and all.
1t would seem from the fact that Sec
Rotary Blaine addresses his note TO the
charge d'affafres, mentioned by the Ital-
ian MINISTER, that the secretary of state
does not consider diplomatic relations
Setween Italy and the United States
entirely broken off. It is understood,
however, that Mr.. Blaine considers that
the negotiations concerning the New
Orleans matter have ceased.

Judge Hughes's Article.
MANCHESTER, Va, March s, 1891.

MANCHESTER, "a, olarcn D, 1917
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The article from the pen Of Judge
Hughes, whose luminous exposition of a
most intricate question recently enter
tanned tho readers of the DISPATCH, was
fully entitled to the praise which has been
so literally awarded 1t. However, it was
not wholly sufficient. The Judge demon:
strated conclusively that the motives of
the monometallists were not altogether
dsinterested, and that O perfect reallza-
ton of their principle would be fraught
with disaster to the numerous debtor class.
But has this able advocate completed his
task before he has answered the objections
of those who affirm that the unlimited
coinage of silver, initiating to the disad-
vantage of the creditor at home as well as
abroad, would be as vicious in its ten
dency as the most arbitrary and stringent
of restrictive policies? 1t is not the pur-
pose of the writer to insinuate opinions
hostile TO the tenor of the article referred
10. His position has long since been de-
termined. Rather is it his desire to elicit
from the distinguished jurist what his
past success predicts to be complete VIM
dication of measure which, notwithstand-
ing its late rebuff at the hands of our ma
tional legislators, appears destined sooner
or later to prevail. NJ. II. L.

Anthracite Coal Used In the Manufacture
OF Iron.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 me EdttOf or ue UtSpdtch
The first use of anthracite coal in con-
nection with the manufacture of iron in
the United States dates from 1912, in which
year Colonel George Shumaker, of Potts
vile, Pa, loaded nine wagons with coal
from his mine at Centreville and hauled it
to Philadelphia where, with great diff
Guilty, he sold two loads at the cost OF
transportation and gave the other seven
loads away. He was by many regarded as
an impostor for attempting to sell stone
to the public as coal. Of the two loads
sold one WIS purchased by White & Hazard
for use at their wire-works at the Falls of
Schuykill and the other was purchased by
Malin i Bishop for use at the Delaware
county rolling mill. By the merest acct
dent of closing the furnsce-doors Mr..
White obtained hot fire from the coal,
and from this occurrence, happening IN
1912, we may date the first successful use
of anthracite coal in the manufacture of
iron in this county and in other American
manufactures. SwANK.

possession of as many legislative bod

The method is, in the counties where
the Alliance is strong and the parties
evenly divided, to demand the selection
of the democratic candidates for the
legislature, coupled with an implied
threat that in the event of refusal the
democratic ticket will be defeated bv
the nomination of third ticket.
In all the counties where the demo-
cratic party has a safe majority, the
party will insist upon making its own
ticket. In close counties the naming
of any portion of the ticket by anv one
class will be as fatal to success in all
probability, az a third ticket and so the
danger is that the efforts of the ALI
ance will result in a republican major

ing. The statement says that the total
value of the commerce of the past ifs.
Cal year was the greatest in the history
OF the Government, and exceeded the
total value of the commerce of 1890 by
by the sum of $S2,191 1903. The com
merce of 1890 was the largest for any
year in the history of the Government
up to that time, exceeding the com
merce OF the prior year by the sum of
$l59, ,066, so that the value of the
commerce of the fiscal year just closed
exceeded that of 1889 by $241, 797, 1863.
Our total commerce during the past
fiscal year amounted to $1,729 1880, 1876
During the year there was an increase
in our imports of merchandise.
The total value of our imports of
merchandise during the last year was
$S44, 9O5, 491. The total value of our
exports of merchandise during the
same period was $685., 425, 4O5, which
shows an excess in favor of exports
during the fiscal year of $39,519,9l4
There has been large increase in the
volume of immigration into the United
States during the last fiscal year. The
total number arriving was 555, 496 as
against 451, 219 during the fiscal year
of 1890, showing an increase during the
past fiscal year of 1O4,277. This in
crease is largely from the following
countries: Italy, 1854; Austria Hun
