The one change OF great Importance which
the past week has brought Is eminently
helpful the amicable settlement between
coal miners and employers In Western Penn

about 100 900 men will have their wages in

There Is no important change 10 crop pros
poets, and at this time no news is eminently
good news.
Speculation has been more successful in
cotton than In any other product during the
past week and has lifted the price an eighth.
Wheat has declined a fraction, With very
scanty transactions. The concerted with.
holding OF wheat by Western farmers, II con-
tinued, would. doubtless. affect the price in
the end, but II has already stopped Atlantic
exports entirely. Corn ntends to lower prices,
with more encouraging prospects, and the
expectation Of a sheayy corn crop affects
prices Of provisions, as might be expected.
The industries continue to make progress.
and higher prices for iron and steel products
prove that the supply has not yet outrun the

DEFENDS THE BULL FIGHT.
The Managers OF the Atlanta Show Says
It viii be Harm rmless.

President Collins, of the Cotton States and
International Exposition, in response to re-
quest for statement about the bull fight
which has caused so much agitation Of late,
said to a reporter:
The performance will take place within al
enclosure which no one can enter without the
payment of admission fee and it will only be
seen by those who care to pay for the privi-
lege. The exposition will be an histrionic one
and harmless in itself, devoid OF cruelty
to man or beast, but showing in the most
realistic way great tragedy in which both
men and animals are concerned. 1t is as
legitimate as any drama in which human
tragedy is presented on the stage. 1t is claim
ed that in this bull fight the Exposition is
pandering to barbarious customs. There is
nothing more in the bull fight, under the con-
ditions In which 1t will be presented, than the
thrilling scenes OF Buffalo Bill's Wild West
show. and 1t strange that while one is every.
where commended as u striking represent
alton OF savage life 10 our own country, the
other is condemned simply because 1t repre-
sents custom with which wa are not
familiar"

CHINESE RIOT.

Letters to the Government on the De-
struction of Mission Property.
Acting Secretary Adee has received ad-
vices from United States Consul General
Jernigen, at Shanghai, dated July ~, enclos-
ing letters received by him from missionaries
giving in great detail accounts Of the events
In China leading up to the riots against the
missionaries at Cheng Tu, In the province OF
szechuen. One OF these, from Spencer Le-
nier, says the west China mission OF the
Methodist Episcopal church is the only
American mission represented at Cheng Tu.
The Americans there were the Rev. Olin
Cady and wife. II. J.. Cartwright. wife and
two children, and Rev. J. +. Peat, wife and
two children. The mission, Mr. Lenier says,
was entirely destroyed, even the paving
stones being carried out Of the courts. The
total loss, exclusive OF personal losses, is
about 5000 taels.
The American Baptist missionary union
has stations at Sui Flu. Kiating and vacheo.
The mission and personal property in Kiat-
ing and yacheo are probably all lost. At
Sui Flu the Americans owned great deal Of
property, but not much damage was done TO
Mr.. Leniers letter tells OF the refusal OF the
Cheng Tu magistrates to protect the mission
aries, and the plundering on May 2S OF the
Catholic and Protestant missions by the
Chinese soldiers, their digging up OF bones
and representing them 10 be those Of babes
the foreigners had eaten. NJ. Lenier reiter-
ates the charge against the Cheng Tu vlceory,
Cheo Taoti, that because he had been de-
graded he permitted aud encouraged this de-
struction. The writer encloses sopies OF the
placards charging foreigners with kidnapping
children and using oil from their bodies. Let
ters from George W. Hill and DIR. Harry Can

vance OF the season. and early corn is now
practically made over the southern portion

JAPAN'S THREAT.

Claimed the Right to Search American
Ships to find Obi eotionabie Persons.
II 10 not generally known that just before
the declaration Of the armistice which pre-
ceded the signature OF the treaty Of peace an
issue had grown up between the United
States and Japan that threatened to lead to
actual hestiiities between the two countries,
and that hostile clash was perhaps only
rverted by the conclusion of the Chinese
war. This issue arose through the assertion
by the Japanese authorities of tho right OF
search OF American vessels. They insisted
that they had the right to board an American
vessel II they chose TO take from her any
Chinese or any enemy they might find, even
though they " ere but passengers.
Minister Dun very promptly denied the ex-
istence OF any such right on the part OF q
combatant, and hot correspondence ensued.
The Japanese insisted on their right and
even when MIR. Dan reminded them that the
United States had gone TO war with Great
Britain on lust this issue, and had forced the
abandonment OF any claim to such right
they refused to abate their pretentons one
jot, though the minister intimated that the
first assertion OF such q right would bo re-
garded by the United States as an uniriendly
act and therefore likely to lead to war.
The matter progressed to that perilous
state that when Admiral Carpenter was about
to escort an American merchant steamship
out OF Japanese port. to prevent her deten-
tion by the Japanese, the latter, 1t is said,
gave orders TO the shore batteries at the
mouth OF the harbor to fire upon American
naval vessels If they attempted to do so.
This fact came out after the conclusion OF the
armistice, which fortunately occurred at just
this period in the negotiations. thereby pre-
venting an incident that would certainly
have led to war, but the significant point Is
that since that time the japanese have stead
lily clung 10 the same contentious promising
serious trouble in the event VI another war
in the east.
