progress strikes of the coal min
ers in all the coal producing re-
gions of the Union. In many of
the coal States there have been
much violence, disorder and de-
struction of property, and in
colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
pennsylvania, Maryland and
Alabama there has been such
1erlons violence that the militia

rlUt-uu-s-sauolotio
Attention has been called to
the remarkable fact that these
coal strikes, so widespread and
markedly turbulence and violent
troubles, have occurred in the
midst of a general financial and
industrial depression, when q
million of people are out of en-
ploymemt and have, to a large
extent, been living on and when
there seemed to be no good rea-
son for any act that would 80
much increase the general dis
tress.
It is difficult to understand the
special cause for such a move
ment, and it has been suggested
that the coal strikes are part of
a concerted plan still further to
distress the people and depress
the industries of the country.
Just why such a movement
should be desired by any parties
is not easy to understand; but it
is certain that the cutting off of
the coal supply would shut up
nearly every industrial concern
in the country, and stop every
train on American rails and
every steamer in American
waters That such was the ap-
parent intention in some parts of
the country is shown in the fact
I-that~tha. atsikana haua~ saizad md
detained every train carrying
coal which was in their reach,
while everywhere the effort has
been to cut off the coal supply as
much as possible,
Altogether it looks as If there
were a concerted measure to cre-
ate as complete a state of popular
distress and disorder as possible,
as a preparation for a general
social and political revolution.
Is there any such design! and, if
SO, who is moving and controll-
ing it, Are existing conditions
a mere aggregation of accidental
circumstances, or are they parts
of a plant At present there is
no definite reply. Suggestions
which are at hand do not satisfy
the demand for information.-

ALIx IS QUEEN.

 GALESBURG, Ills, Sept 20.-Fifteen thousand people yelled themselves hoarse when the great trotting queen Alix heat the worlds record by coming under tho wire in a:O3s4.
 The day was an ideal one for such an event, and the track was In good condi. tion Mcdowell drove Alix. The start was made in splendid style, Allx coming as regularly and steadily as clockwork. with head down and her short pointed ears twitching ncrvously. When she ap- preached tho wire for the start, she seem ed to be going little slow, but she soon increased her speed. She was working like n machine. and yet so easily and gracefully that one would hardly imagine that sho was going nt such a tremendous clip.
 When the quarter was reached, there was general exclamation: Thirty and n half. She will beat 1t" From that to ahe half she seemed to fly, making 1t in 1:0134. The third quarter sho increased her paco tritle, making it in l:32a4.
 When sho started up the homo stretch, she was moving down without apparent effort. Thus far thcre had not bcon q false stop-not a wobble of any kind. She seemed to fairly fly to get away from the horse that came laundering just behind. As she nearcd the wire many who glanced at their watches said, ''She will not mako it. The last few rods she again seemed to increase her marvellous sped, and as Elc darted under the wire the shout went up from the thousands: she's done it.. Shes done it'' The cheering was pro longed, and it was somo timo before Will Hams could quiet the crowd so as to make himself heard He then announced: ''YOu have witnessed the fastest heat ever trot- ted by any trotter on the globe. The first quarter was modc in 30 I5, tho one half in I:0Iat, tho thrce-quarters in l:322< and tho mile in 2:O3A."
 The crowd again cheercd, and thou sands rushed onto the track as Mcdowell came driving AliX back. Williams in troduced Mir. Jones, the owner of Alix, and the cheering again arose.

English Sommen. on the Battle.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-The Times, in a leading article, says that the Chinese na- val, like the military, authorities seem to have formed their plans without the smallest appreciation of the elementary principles of warfare. It has been clear all along that the war almost wholly de- pended on sea power. The Chinese had the stronger navy, but they did not know how to secure the supremacy of the sea. It seems to be very doubtful that they will over recover tho advantages forfeited by their inaptitude in counsel and delay in execution.
 The Standard publishes a leader upon the battle of Yalu, in the course of which it says that it is greatly to the credit of the Japanese admiral that he should have formed so accurate an estimate of txe pur- poses of the maneuvers of the enemy. There Is something childish, tho paper adds, in the conduct of China, and doubt less it was pretty accurate knowledge of China's unpreparedness that caused Japan ts force hostilities.
 It Is very doubtful that China will ao-
 quiesce lrumb!y in the loss of Korea evne If Japan should be content to make a treaty of peace on such terms. Therefore it would be criminal if the powers should omit further attempt to intervene in the cause of peace. It remains to be seen whether Japan covered hex4 rear before hand with n secret understanding with Russia ,,-
 The Daily News, in Its comments on the situation in tho east, says it Is safe to con clude that each side has had nearly the worst short of absolute annihilation. Ii seems certain that the Japanese general must at least win ono more battle before he can consider himself master in Korea.
 Though he may win Korea. he will only
 lose 1t again if the other branch of the
 service fails to give him command of tho
 sea. Each side has realized this fact, and
 each Is making desperate exertions to wir the lend at sea

 Whether it was the happy selection of name or the great demand for the court in this section of the city no one cares 10 say. but it is certain that the new court of Foresters is sure to be a big success. Already the charter list is full and when the court is ready to call for members it is believed that the roll will be the largest of any court in the state.

mouth of the Yalu river conveying trans ports having on board 5000 troops. It was the intention of Admiral Ting to disembark these troops inside the mouth of the Yalu river in order to form q force with which to intercept the Japanese ad- vance upon Moukdeo, Manchurla, from which there is railroad running to Tien- tsin.
 While engaged in landing these troops q fleet of 19 Japanese warships, accompa- nied by flotilla of torpedo boats, was sighted approaching the Yalu river. As soon ns they were within range tho Japa- nese attacked tho Chinese.
 Then followed a terrific contest, lasting six hours, during which the great guns, rapid fire guns and machine guns of all sorts were used with fearful effect on both sides. Both fleets also used torpedoes re- peatedly and fired at each other continu- ously from the rapid fire guns mounted in the tops of the different warships.
