The appointment Of Sir Matthew White

the matter, taken in conjunction with the
steady gains which the Chicago Associated
Press made for some time in the East and
South, left large part OF the newspaper
world unprepared for the sudden squirt on
the part of The United Press, which began
almost simultaneously with the failure of
the negotiations.
] 1t was with view to getting at the phil
osophical reasons for this change that q
reporter asked Mr.. Phillips yesterday to
explain in some measure the new forces at
work. He was questioned first as to why,
in view of the strength now shown by The
United Press, it was willing, few weeks

he said, "to go into conference with the
Chicago Associated Press was not due to
any weakness in, our position. We have
always been ready to settle the fight on
territorial lines, provided it could be done
on fair and equitable basis: That has
been our policy because many of our
clients desire such settlement The rea-
son is obvious. The presence of two rival
press associations in the same territory
stimulates the starting of newspapers.
There is no desire on anybody's part to
stifle bona fide enterprises for which there
is field, but when news is being offered
for less than the cost of collecting it, papers
are often started by irresponsible parties
who succeed in running the business of
established papers through cutting adver-
tising rates, etc., and then after a short
career go out of existence. This sort OF
thing is great injury to established papers
in small places and it benefits nobody.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 29-General
Manager Phillips of The United Press said
in an interview recently that the tide had
turned in the long fight between his or
ganization and the Chicago Associated
Press, and he predicted that the latter
would go to pieces within twelve months.
Events since then have gone far to show
that Mr.. Phillips was not talking without
mature deliberstion, and that his prophecy
was made in the knowledge of new forces
and conditions, which have already begun
to operate in favor of The United Press
Attention is attracted to the fact that
within the short time that has elapsed
since the publication of his interview in
the Louisville Courier-J Journal The United
Press has captured three of the principal
papers on the Pacific Coast-namely, the
San Francisco CALL, San Jose Mercury and
Sacramento Record Union--and in addi-
ton to them, the Council Bluffs Nonpareil
and number of other papers. All of these
papers had previously been receiving the
report of the Chicago Associated Press.
Charles M. Shortridge, the proprietor of
the San Francisco CALL, is the president
of the Pacific Associated Press.
The fight between the two associations
has reached stage of the greatest inter-

United Press have been somewhat in the

LONDON, ENG, June 29.-Americans
who happen to be in the city this week
have been marveling among themselves
over the apparent indifference of the Eng
lish people to the change of government,
which has taken place with even less dis
turbance to metropolitan life than is caused
by days meteorological vicissltudes The
contrast with the public excitement on the
eve of a National election in the United
States is so striking that most OBJ
servers are gaining the impression
that English democratic institutions are
threatened by a greater danger from
popular disregard of the duties of the suf-
frsge than exists in America. 1t is GER
tainly true that public interest in the
political crisis in this country is at a lower
ebb than has preceded any great election
In Great Britain during the past century.
The only sentiment on the subject which 1
have heard expressed this week by busi-
ness men and other ordinary citizens is
the general grumble that the polling is to
take place just when everybody is going to
the country for their annual holiday.
Lord Salisbury's acceptance and the per-
sonnel of the Cabinet appointments have
been received with an absence of all COM
ment outside OF the newspapers and politi-
cal clubs. Everybody taxes it for granted
that the Unionists will secure comforta-
BILE working majority in the new Parlia-
ment, and that the legislative life of the
country will go on without any disturb
Rnce for months. If the polling for the
new Parliament took place everywhere on
the same day there would be good chance
for some surprising results, due to the
oyerconiidence of the Unionist party. But
If such danger appears during the first
day or two of the polling there will be am
pie opportunity to guard against it. There
have already been notices from an aston
Shing number of constituencies that there

of War from the inconvenience of going to
Windsor, and he really thought his mes
sage merited more courteous reception,
This moved the Earl of Kimberly to ex-
claim warmly:
Talk of courteous receptions Has it
not occurred to the noble Marquis that
there might also have been more courte-
Gus message? Can any one conceive of a
more extraordinary proceeding than that
after vote of censure had been passed on
asked to hand over the seals of Office in a
manner that is neither courteous to himself
nor in accordance with practice2 1t is ex-
traordinary that the Secretary of State for
War should be asked by the head of a
party to give up his seals very much in the
same way as he would send his footman to
ask right honorable gentleman to hand
over his SEALS"
There were hearty demonstrations of ap-
proval at Lord Kimberly outburst on both
sides of the House and Lord Salisbury
changed his tone, saying that if Campbell
Bennerman felt hurt, he desired to express
his extreme regret if his action had been
discourteous.
The Premier did not, however, disclose
the real reason for his extraordinary action,
and the English public is still in ignorance
of it. The truth is said to be that the
Prime Minister of England wished to get
| immediate possession of the seals of the
British War Office in order to put them in
| ''hock" to raise money to carry on the
Government. The War Department was
| in dire need of cash to meet imperative
| payments. The passage of the supply
bills had been blocked by the adverse vote
on Friday night. 1t seemed necessary to
secure temporary advance from the
Bank of England. The custom in such
emergencies is to deposit the seals of the
needy department at bank as security fol
| the loan.
1t was rumored to-day that the Queen
herself was responsible for Lord Salsbury's
strange action. 1t is said that her Majesty
feared that mpbell-Bannerman might
signalize his departure from office by com.

will be no contest. 1t is only in districts
where there is fair fighting chance to
change the present representation that
there will be any real campaign.
The event of the week, which aroused
far greater public interest than Lord Sails
bury's accession, was the strange incident
regarding the seals of the War Department.
The cable has already made some mention
of the extraordinary fact, but the mystery
connected with it makes the matter worth
recording in more detail. When Camp
ell-Bannerman, who is still acting as
Secretary OF War, went to his house, after
leaving the Commons ON Tuesday morn
ing, he found man on his doorstep who
politely requested him to hand over
his seals of Office. The astonished
Cabinet officer asked the stranger
who he was, and the young
man replied that he was Mr. Mcdonnell,
the private secretary of Lord Salisbury,
who by the way had not then kissed hands
on his acceptance of the premiership, and
was, therefore, only private citizen. The
War Secretary suggested that the young
man had better explain his mission in
doors instead of in the street. Mr.. Nc
Donnel, on reaching Mr.. Bannerman' s
study, renewed the demand, saying that he
had been sent by Lord Salisbury with only
q verbal message and without written
authority. The reply of the retiring
Secretary for War was emphatic: "I
received the seals of the Secretary of State
for War from her Majesty. / shall sur
render them to her when she commands
me to do so and to no one else'

A Great Coal Vein.

Among the largest and most advanta>
geously located coal mining properties
in the world are those of the Philadel-
phia and Beading coal and Iron com
pany. In 1884 the company mined
7,415, 600 tons, and it receives a large
amount annually from royalties on
leased collieri9s. In nearly all the To-
calities where the mines are operated
the coal is obtained in such abundance

the work of getting the coal from Its

few places in the world where great
quantities of coal are so readily obtain,
