The Register has been doing the best
it could TO convince Weat Virginia coal
operators and tho mon who di: the
coal that it would BIO much better for
them to have coal on the free list than
on the dutiable list. The senate sub
committee puts forty cents 4 ton on
coal.
What will the Register do about it
now-support the house idea or the
senate idea? Both ideas are Demo-
cratic. The situation is embarrassing,
OF course, but 4 stage has been reached
in the discussion OF this important

The Administrations Pension Policy.
General Sickles,a Democrat as well
as a veteran, in his speech in the house
on pensions just about used up the pen
sion end OF the administration. He
went over the ground to show that Mr,
Cleveland had made fair promises to
the old soldiers to get their support in
1892 and that he has made poor re.
turn for the votes they gave him.
General Sickles declared that We have
bad law as well rs bad manners from
the pension bureau and proved both
charges. He went straight ut the com
missioner OF pensions and said that he
"has withheld many thousands OF pen.
sions during the past year; that they
wero wronCtully withheld is proved BY
the fact that mos. OF thom have been
restored"
No honest man will ever find fault
with the commissioner OF pensions for

Tho law does with regard 20 the pea

is to succeed Mr.. White in the senate,
voted Tor tho Wilson bill in the house.
The understanding is that he will op-
pose it in tho senate unless it be
changed SO "a to give tho sugar OF his
state protection. The tariff situation
has not changed any since Mr..
Blanchard voted for the Wilson bill,

UNCLE SAM AND KOREA.
Rear Admiral Rodgers Operations
in 1871 Recalled.

Naval officers are naturally very
much interested in the outcome of the
pending troubles between China and
Japan, growing out of the desire for
the control of Korea. 1t is believed
that many valuable lessons will be
learned in regard to the merits of mod
ern battleships, the effectiveness of
torpedoes and the ability of fast cruis-
ers to cope with more powerful ar.
mOred ships. y good many years ago
Korea had slight difficulty with the
United States navy, which resulted in
the death of several American officers
and men. Before the trouble ended,
however, our naval forces destroyed
five Korean forts and captured 4S1
pieces of artillery and fifty flags, with
a loss of about 400 Koreans. Several
of the guns that were captured on that
occasion are now at the Naval Acad-
envy. There is also a tablet in the
chapel at Annapolis commemorative
of the deeds of the American
officers killed in this Korean diff
Guilty. The fight occurred, June II,
1871, and was the first and last seri-
Gus engagement the United States has
had with the people of the hermit
country. The trouble arose from the
attempt of ex- Governor Lowe of Cali
fOrnia, then United States Minister to
China, to arrange convention with
Korea for the protection of sailors
shipwrecked on the coast of that coun-
try. Korea was then under the suZe-
rainty of China, and the latter had
given its consent to the convention.
Rear Admiral John Rodgers, in the
flagship Colorado, with the ships
Alaska, Bernicia, Monocacy and Palos,
assembled the Salee river in Korea,
with the implied consent of the au-
thorities of that county, TO continue
in two steam launches passed up the
river ahead of the main body until 1T
reached a point above the Korean
forts. There they were fired upon by
the Koreans and retreated in dlsmay
with their wounded to the warshlps
farther down the river. Admiral
Rodgers demanded an explanation at
once, and waited ten days without re-
ceiving an answer to his demand,
whereupOn he ordered an attack upon
the Koreans. Six hundred sailors and
marines were landed and marched dl-
rectly upon the forts. A short fight
followed. The Koreans were easily
driven back into the country, and
their forts, cannon, flags and number
of prisoners fell into the hands of the
victorious Americans. Col. McLane
TiIton, now on duty at Annapolis, was
in command of the marine guard on
that occasion. Ever since the rela-
lions between Korea and the United
States have been extremely cordial,
and the latter has on several occasions
shown almost a paternal interest in
the welfare of it's feeble neighbor in
the orient. It is not at all likely that
trouble will ever occur between them

Birds in the Arctic.

In the countries bordering on the
Polar seas, where the changing sea-
sons bring alternately the two ex-
tremes of dearth and plenty, birds are
more numerous in the summer than
anywhere else all the world over, and
in winter are absent altogether. All
are immigrants there by force OF cir
cumstances, says the New York Tele-
gram. In like manner the birds OF
temperate climates are affected by
the seasonal changes, though in less
degree, through the influence OF cold
and heat upon their food supplies,
rather than by effect of cold upon
their we'll protected bodies.
According to Littelrs Living Age
coat of mail is not to be compared to
coat of feathers for safety, so far as
birds life is concerned. Layer upon
LAYER of feathers can Withstand any
amount of water or any degree OF
cold. In proof of this see how the
delicate tern, after wInterlng In COM
parativeIy mild weather, go back 10
the ice foes of the Polar sea ana lay
their eggs on the bare ice. For two
or three weeks the tender breast of
the sea swallow is pressed against
cold block of ice. Again, as another
example of the influence of food
rather than climate in governing olfd
action, take the colony of beccatco.
The beccafico is Mediterranean
bird common on the shores of Spain
and Italy, in the Grecian islands,
Sicily and Malta, and on the northern
shores of Africa. Formerly it was
quite unknown in the British Isles,
but some years ago large orchard of
fig trees was planted near Brighton,
and the beccaficos have discovered the
fact and come over to share the spoils.
Doubtless the nIghtingales told them
the story of English figs and showed
them the way over. Be this as 1t
may, the little birds from the warm
shores of the Mediterranean bid tar
to become established as naturallzed
British subjects.
