ANnTHER COAL wAR

The anticipated coal war is certain to
create financial disaster among coal oper-
ators and Increased physical sufferiugs
IN the homes of the miners. Such conpeti-
tive struggles in any line Of trade are
disastrous in the end, and. although the
general public profit temporarily by
cheaper prices, the conditions would be
improved were there no cutting OF prices
and attempts to drive competition out
OF the market.
II is claimed that the combined output
Of thc different coal mines in the anthra-
cite trade is about 5000 600 tons each
month, or 60 eco 900 a year, while the
average consumption OF this coal through
out the country is only about 5000 .0GO
tons month, or 80 ,OGO,O 900 tons an
HuaIly. such an overproduotion must nee
essarHv Lead TO ruiuags competition ard
also TO starvation among n4iuers, whose
wages constitute the chief cost OF coal
production, and the oaIy way to bring
about remedy is 10 limit the output of
coal TO tie actual demand.
Perhaps this kind OF reasoning win not
meet approval a-.oHg those who believe
in The widest and most rigid application
OF The principles OF competition. But in
this instance it is the miners who are
the great sufferers, and ii would be better
10 give them higher wages for digging
less coal Than 10 compel them to work
for pay ilat viii do little else than keep
them out or the poorhouse.

TIE CHINESE OUTRAGE.

Inasmuch as China is not a trust, the
State Department has instructed Minister
Denby 10 secure protection for American
citizens in that country. This informa-
ZION would insure greater satisfaction were
il accompanied by the assurance that the
instructions would be faithfully carried
out. The impression prevails that Minis
ter DENLY is inclined to orientalism, which
permits TO real eXertion except 10 obtain d
good meal or to avoid something that hurts
No modern outrage has so stirred the
American heart as the story of the Chinese
murder OF an English missionary and his
family, as told by Miss Hartford. In all
religious circles it has aroused vigorous in
diEna-;0n. Telegraphic protests and letters
are pouring into the State Department re-
monstratug against any more delay in
adopting MEASURES for the protection of
American residents in China
But the administration has finally moved.
The mountain Of government wisdom is ap-
preaching China and unless Minister DENLY
blocks the way there is hope that the trouble
win soon bc over.
The morning times., 1895-08-10

Consul General Jernigan has taken a
and has sent several dispatches to the
State Department giving Information and
making suggestions for protection.
II is the impression among some Off
cials that the ConSuls, without being fully
aware of the situation, have asked for
troops from the warships where it would
be impracticable for vessels to go.
The State Department has not called
upon the navy for any ship or force to
land and proceed into the interior. Min
lister DENLY has authority to call upon
Admiral Carpenter for United States forces,
and under his Instructions the admiral is
bound 10 furnish them
Both State and Navy departments be-
lieve that the United States representa-
powers, are better able TO act for the best
than those here in Washington.
Acting Secretary McAdoo said yesterday
that he could give Admiral Carpenter no
instructions, especially as Minister DENLY
had not asked that anything be done. As
TO the suggestion that the admiral should
send a force in boats, he said that the
minister and admiral were better able to
know whether such a course was wise.
Itmight be sacrifice OF men tosend them

The British government had more cause
for making demonstration than the United
States, and yet no English force had been

had front seats. Prayer was offered by
Rev. DR.. Butler, pastor Of the Memorial
Church. Boston's welcome song, written
for the convention by Rev. Samuel F.
Smith, was appropriately rendered
"Boston's Welcome which included the
telling of how the Washington delegates
were received and entertained, was tersely
but eloquently described by Miss Anna T
Bell, president Of the Calvary Baptist
Church society.
The most practical speech of the even
ing was an address on Good citizen

man of the District Union good citizenship
committee.
No one can doubt the influence for

that convention went home with new ideas
OF his duty to his church and his country"

and then introduced DR.. Marion NIGH.

mittee for 1S9495, who presented the
unique trophy to Miss Florence Shuttle,

Some pastors impressions were gwen by
Rev. DR.. Butler, aud in conclusion DR..
Butler said the Eudeayorers have got big

delegates who will attend the convention.

that there was a big job ahead. He de-
