tor OF Enthusiastically S4.OOO,OoO Worth
of Coal Mined In Missouri, During the
Year Ending June 80, Last.
Mr.. Charles Evans. inspector of mines,
has So omitted to the labor commission
Ell the seventh annual report of his de-
partment for year ending June so, 1898.
The report is quite interesting. and
from it the following facts, of inter-
est to operators and miners, are COM
piled:
In view OF the unsettled condition of business
generally, the report shows an encouraging in
crease in the production and receipts from the
coaI-rnlning operations of the state. Also. that
the business of the year has been reasonably
profitable to both operator and miner. with the
result of unusual harmony between employer
ana employe during the period covered by the
report. But five strikes occurred, all of which
were short-iived and unimportant.
The following table shows the product of
each county with the price per ton received for
coal:

Tho Don ON His Muscle.

MADRID, Jan. eat the opening, yes
terday, of the new municipal council
at Malaga, the members became in
volved in disputes flat ended in scenes
of violence. Several of the councillors
engaged in fisticuffs, and a free fight
appeared to be imminent A general
row was averted only by the hasty adj
tournament of the council.
A similar scene took place at the
meeting of the new council at Madrid.
Owing to the rigidly free criticism Of
his acts indnlged in by the councillors
the mayor resigned. He will probably
be succeeded by the Duke of Tam
names, who was one of the party that
accompanied the Infanta Eulalia to
the United States last spring.

Press Comments.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Most of the news

on the Warina affair until accurate de-
tails be received. The Times says:
At first sight the presence of the French
seems unjustifiable. Possibly the French on
Ger is answerable, or the affair was OF the
Lieut. Nilsson type, seeking to rectify what he
regarded as the culpable weakness OF unpa-
triotic diplomacy. Perhaps 1t may be found
to have been pure accident.
The Daily News says:
The matter Is most grave. Despite ali that
