The Z. S. S. Yorktown, Com
mander William NJ. Folger, arrived
early yesterday morning from Mare
Island where she had been reftting
after cruising in the Bering Sea.
She came down in less than eight
days. She was sighted about one
a. ID. but il was some time after
before her name was ascertained.
The vessel came to anchor outside
and remained stationary until about
nine o'clock, when she steamed in
side and came to anchor. The yes
sci will remain in port until Thurs
day and will then leave for Yoke
hama. AT east that was the
information given out on board, but
from remark made by an officer
it is possible that the natty little
cruiser will remain here for some
time, or at least until the arrival of
the Bennington, which was ready
for sea when the Yorktown left.
The Bennington had received no
orders, however, but it seemed to
be accepted as fact by her officers
that Honolulu would be her station
for some months to come.
The Yorktown is an unprotected !
steel cruiser of the third rate; her |
length in mean load water line is
go feet. Her extreme breadth is
sc feet. Her indicated horse power |
is 5000, giving her a sea speed of
about sixteen knots an hour. Her
displacement is 1903 tons including
a bunker capacity of 400 tons of
coal. This las. fact is considered
extraordinary for a vessel of her
size. She has three-mast schooner
rig and is propelled by twin screws.
Her. main battery consists of six
grlls known as six-pounders, besides
tne same number of smaller guns,
and in addition she carries two Cat
lings. She is not a saluting vessel.
The following is a list of the
Yorktown officers

The Coal Trade.

Shipments of coal from the mines of
the Georges Creek coal region were

For week ending Jan. y, 1894......... 1864
" year to same date. ................214, 800
Increase compared with last year,. S,574
The latest news from the markets is
CLEANED as follows:
The bituminous coal trade continues as dull
as it can be. There are few small tran
sient' orders in the market, but they go
generally to the party who is able to procure
the best rate of freight. This rather has an
effect the reverse of that desired by the con-
sumner, as it creates demand from several
quarters for vessels to the same destination
and thus stiffens rates.
Coal is still standing all along the line of
the mainline roads and many of the plo-
ducers are having unhappy half-hours with
the transportation superintendent of the
railroads on this account. The mines are
curtailing their shipments to great extent
and small tonnages are the rule with all pro-
ducers. The transportation from the mines,
as above stated, is still greatly impeded by the
quantity of coal standing along the lines
Cars are in plentiful supply, but are doled out
according to the manner i'll which the various
producers are relieving the loaded cars at
shipping ports.
The trade seems to be worse in the far East,
and it improves, if so it is called it is exceed
ingly quiet at all points. All-rail trade is
dull, but remains better than other lines of
the business. Prices are cut to limited
extent and as far as the actual cost of coal
Notwithstanding and Mining Journal.
The soft coal trade along the seaboard will
improve after awhile; there is an immense
amount of coal on hand at many points in
New England that was taken on during the
last half of '93 and the cost laid down was
nothing that the holders will lose any money
on. The increased tonnages of certain dis
tricts last year is partly being carried by
steam users in New England.-Coal Trade

To Hon. A. p. German.

The tariff on coal is primarily and
historically revenue tariff.
And from democratic standpoint
the element of protection in it is really
too small to arouse argument.
A system which let in last year over
a million tons of commodity as
bulky as coal has little protection in it..
Hence, even the current tariff OF rs
cents per ton has proven
l, That it is a source of needed
revenue =
.. That it is not an injustice to con-
sumers, and
3, That 1t provides enough margin
to make mining attractive to suf-
ticient number of people.
To cut it down is to get revenue at
the expense of labor, and to take it off
altogether is to throw away all rev.
enue, almost destroy wages, reduce
the amount of work and drive miners
into employments where they are not
needed.
A tariff on coal of rs cents, or even
of 60 cents per ton, is sensible, de-
feasible and unerringly democratic.

A Sound Plea for Small PAPERS

The last issue of Archbishop Ire
lands paper, the Northwestern Chron-
icle, has this editorial note of what a
journal of contemporaneous human
interest ought to be:
Our large newspaper is not a blessing; it is
not necessity; it is not even good. That
publisher is a benefactor who gives his
readers only what is useful and gives it to
them in as small space as possible. Some
object to paper because, they say, it is too
small. 1t is great mistake to judge paper
by the quantity of printed matter in it. A
better test to apply is the question how much
can be got out Of it?
In its humble way the JOURNAL en-
deavors to meet the Archbishop's
sensible requisites of good paper.
1t does not, for the sake of bigness,
strain after mediocre affairs, but con-
fines its compilations and comments to
meaty matters.
That even this is not always well
done is admitted with sorrow, mitigated
only by the reflection that it is the best
that we can do for the money we get.
With big income tax to pay, we
are vain enough to believe we would
be able and could publish the ideal
paper.

Not Too Late.

A Baltimore gentleman who is not
in the coal business, writes the JOUR-
NAL a letter commencing IN high
terms it's comments last week upon
Mr.. Rayner's conduct.
He takes pains also to say that there
is serious dissent in that city from the
policy of placing Baltimore in the at
titude of crippling an industry that
has done so much to promote city
growth. 1.-The impolicy of the step
was not properly realized until it was
too late"
He asks the JOURNAL, however,
Whether there may not be something in
the arguments of those who contend that free
coal will be an advantage to our coal interests
rather than disadvantage?
In reply-the JOURNAL is frank to
confess that if we are to have free coal,
it trusts that the assurances of the
optimistic gentlemen are entirely cor
rect.
But as we are not inviting any
chances, we prefer that the present or
at least closely approximate duty on
coal remain.
And as the Senate is yet to pass
upon the measure it is not "too late''
for the city, or any portion of it, to
retrieve the wrong done one of its best
customers.

The New Years Novelties for La,

The New Years Novelties for Ladies.
With the beginning Of the year appear
novelties of Russian effects and modern adop-
tons Of the first empire; the latter being I'M
doubtedly suggested by recent revival of the
Napoleonic studies which makes its influence
felt into literature, on the stage and even in
art. Thus elegant opera wraps are frequent
ly made with empire yokes and voluminous
renaissance sleeves. The draperies already
announced are being developed into many
original effects, indoor gowns being infiu-
enced by those of the peplum description.
The dress skirt is becoming wider at the
bottom, and the sleeve also more voluminous.
Bodices at the present moment are taxing
all the inventive genius of the artist dress
maker by being susceptible Of every con-
ceivable novelty in trimming and material.
There has never, also, existed such a rage as
the present one for fur and ermne above all.
Some original designs of collarettes in real
Louis xiii style-drooping at the shoulders
and very tlat-are becoming popular among
the new modes. These various movements
indicated in the toiettes of the mothers are
closely copied by the fashions in girls dresses
and even in the costumes of very little ones
themselves. In extracting these instructive
items from the latest Mcdowell fashion jour
mails we notice that the handsome publica-
tons still MAINTAIN the high standard of their
former excellence and contain besides new
features of special interest. They are ill.,
valuable for their practical adyice to dress
makers and amateurs. La Mode de Par's and

for yearly subscription, or 80 cents copy.
The French dress,naker is 80. per annum or

A Historic Road,

boulevard, wide, well made and fine,
reaching clear across the country,
taking In, of course, many towns and
cities, giving each of these one hand
some thoroughfare and furnishing the
country people one of the good roads"
we hear SO much talk about. 1t is
suggested that the construction of this
road would be a boom just now as
furnishing work to unemployed people.
1t will be remembered that there is a
precedent for such work in the
famous National Road, a macadamized
wagon-road built by the Government,
which crossed the Alleghanies, con-
nected the East with the West and was
of great advantage to Immigration

On Thursday, February Sth, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
will lun the second of the series of
midwinter excursions to Washington
from points on its lines between Pitts
burg, Wheeling. Parkersburg, Lexing-

use every endeavor to go this time.
Washington is an instructive city as

The Wheel of Fortune,

After giving a table of coal exports
from Canada the Cumberland Times
says:
From these figures it will be seen that out
of ,09O34 tons imported from Canada last
year only "a, 400 tons came from Nova Scotia.
AS the Nova Scotia coal is the only coal the
Georges Creek region is likely to come IN com.
petition with, it will be seen how ridiculous
is the assertion that our markets will be
swamped by 1t if the duty is removed.
The Times conclusion does not fol-
low.
Large streams from little fountains flow,
and
Tall oaks from little acorns grow.
There was year when only l,7OS
tons of coal was shipped from this re-
gion, but logicians of the Times school
never took our modesty seriously until
about the close of the war.
The fact, therefore, that Nova Scotia
sent US only 24,409 tons last year in
spite of the tariff is no criterion what
ever indicating what that country will
not do when the occasion for spite is
removed.
The probability is that with the
changed conditions and enlarged OPP
portunities of the times that Nova
Scotia will be able 10 point with more
pride to the annual growth of its ex-
port trade in coal than we to our 80
years of production for both foreign
and domestic consumption.
Canada has agreed to open her doors when
ever we do. If they are opened, the result
will be that the coal now competing with
Georges Creek coal will go 70 Canada leaving
our home markets to us as well as the ocean
under McKinleyism, if it wants it.
The first point is disputed by Sir
j. S. Thompson, encouragement of
Nova Scotia. who said Thursday of
last week:
There is no enactment in Canada making
free admission of coal necessary result of the
taking off of duty in United States or author
izing governor in council by proclamation to
make coal free in Canada.
AS to the second point it may we'll
be asked-is not Canada already TAX
ing all the coal from Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana that it wants ?
What occasion have we to expect to
expect to sell customer more coal
than he wants simply because it is a
little cheaper?
Hence, tariff or no tariff in Canada,
Georges Creek coal will find the same
old competitors in the American mar
kets-Cleartield, Pocahontas, etc.
The situation is just this-the Times,
quoting the Treasury Department,
pr0oes that Nova Scotia has no market
in the United States worth speaking
of. Outside of the Times everybody
knows that Nova Scotia wants mar
ket IN the States-in short, wants the
New England market-the market
that Georges Creek supplies.
And the prospectus is-when Nova
Scotia gets to Dragging of its prosperity
and growth, Georges Greek must di-
rectly and Immediately bewail its own
! decline and fall.
