scheme was strongly opposed, on the
ground that it would endanger millions of

the Pacific were more than 100 feet higher
than those of the Atlantic, and that if they
got headway in the ditch they would drown
the country around on the Atlantic side.
1t now turns out, after a careful survey,
that the Atlantic is the higher of the two.

THE AMERICAN COAL COMBINE.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-The congress of the
National Federation of Miners, at Man
chester, to consider the question of re-
stricting output, has proved abortiye. The
sense of the northern delegates was that,
in view of the prevalent talk of great
American coal trust. it was to be hoped
that workmen would not take any action
that would result in giving the Reaiing
company monopoly of the profits of the
coal industry. The Newcastle Journal, in
an article undoubtedly voicing the senti-
ments of the British coal-owners, expresses
doubt of the success of the American
monopoly. 1T is not at all probable" the
Journal declares, that the prodigious pro-
duction of American coal can ever be con-
trolled by any syndicate, however gigantic
No pool can be formed whose members
will at all times find it to their interest to
observe the mutual agreement Any
marked scarcity or dearness of coal would
have the effect of stimulating production
in quarters hitherto not considered profit
able The history of the copper ring
would be repeated. Sources of supply
heretofore undreamed of will be utilized.
1t might even happen if great increase of
price were made that supplies would pour
into America from all parts of the world
until some tinkering was done to the Me-
kinley bill y
