CLEvELAND's INVEST

5 CLEVELANDB INVEST out.
 MENT. T his is the fourth serious loss of MT. Cleveland since he reentered the presidency. A very erroneous impression prevails that Mr. Cleveland is millionaire and that Mr. Whitney invests for him. MT. Cleveland is worth to-day, perhaps, a quarter of million, and MT. Whitney has nothing to do with his financial af- fairs The president docs not superin- tend these investments, which is one req son, perhaps, why so many turn out ill. Some of his money, by the way, is go- ing into office buildings. Mir. Cleve- land believes in these structures, and he has an interest in a well-known New York edifce of the kind. Those who oppose sl1yscrapers may be interested in this fact. But there is decided need for more judgment in the management of the president'ss fortune, and his re- cent loss is represented to have embar- rassed him seriously.

ANOTHER MEETIN(

OF STEEL WORKERS AT CARNEGlE'S PLANT a.- FOR ORGANIZATION ON TAPES.
 Pr1TsBUEG, Pa, Jan. 12. Another meeting of steel workers employed by the Carnegie Steel company at the Homestead works has been scheduled for tomorrow. The call has created much comment in labor circles. The object of the meeting is to get the men in line for organization in order that they may be better enabled to resist reductions and adjust grievances. The present movement is agitated princi- pally by the men who broke the famous strike of '92. They are now ready to enter into an organization, provided the old men who figured in that strike and who were taken back will also join in the movement. The new men fear trelchery and are'there- fore exceedingly guarded in their action.
 President Garland of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers pleads ignorance of any new attempt to organize the Homestead men.

 riously. Should it be paid in silver, the demand for the white metal will un- doubtedly create an enormous demand for the product of western mines and boom the silver states immensely. It can thus be readily seen how closely our national interests are bound up in the settlement of the dispute. The Wall street men visited Mir. Foster in a body and urged him to favor gold settlement. Our diplomat became very much incensed at this. He declared that the representations of the bankers were a gross violation of diplomatic ethics and that he would act ns he thought best in the interests of China. No sooner had intelligence of this in- cident reached banking circles in the west than there was rejoicing. China would rather pay the indemnity in sil- yer and since Mir. Foster will act as China wishes, it Is pretty certain that he, too, will be silver man. In that event silver will have revival. MT. Fosters anger is taken to mean that he opposes the attempt to make the negotiations of John Chinama a pri- vate speculation of Father Knicker- booker. At any rate the treaty will be looked forward to with interest by American financiers

Woodberry appointed him an aide-de-camp on his staff, and the railroad man will hereafter be Col. Webb His first uniform has just been completed and cost nearly fifteen hum dred dollars. The braid on it is of real gold and the lace is from Paris direct. The colonels sword has diamond in the hilt, is Damascus blade, and stood the military man cool twenty-seven hundred dollars. Col. Webb commands thirty-two men up in Vermont and he means to give them all dinner. He is as great soldier as Col. John Jacob Astor himself.
 This mad rush to become colonels on the part of the male ornaments of New York society is creating trouble. The available colonelcies at Gov. Morton's disposal are all used up and there is great outpouring to neighboring states. Frederick Gebhard will be made a colonel by Gov. Werts, of New Jersey, and the influence of Senator George Peabody Wetmore will be used in Rhode Island to get the military title for other young clubmen. New York so- ciety will very soon be veritable garrison.
 Now as every woman is supposed to love a uniform, the matter becomes serious to those young men who do not happen to have influence with some governor or other. There are numbers of heiresses unengaged in New York and they have eyes only for colonels. All await their soldier boys.

The senorita.

She brought to me fresh oranges,
Wild honey in the comb,
And fragrant nuts and apples strange,
That grew about her home;
And as I sat and slipped or ate,
Within the patio there,
A-down she took her loved guitar
And sung a Spanish air.
did not understand the words,
Yet somehow In my heart
understood the meaning of
The music of her art;
And thought did fly beyond the blue
OF many a league Of sea,
Until seemed to be again
Beneath my cottage tree.
And I beheld, not far away,
A maid OF northern type
One morning at a little farm
When cherries were all ripe,
The mowers. one by one, had gone
And let us, sweet, alone,
To talk of love among the scent
OF meadows newly mown.
We plucked the fruits as in a dream,
While robin in the tree,
Full deep in love with his brown mate,
Ate twice as much as we.
Although we had long years to love,
And he q, season there,
We squandered not the precious time
With much Of mortal fare.
And so when I my oranges
And honey put aside,
Scarce tasted for the dream they
brought,
I found the song had died:
The singer dark had vanished, too;
It mattered not to me
My soul was far away the while
Beyond the Caribbee.

DISTURBING.

That Willimantic bank affair Is very
disturbing. If bank directors do not
direct and If bank examiners do not
examine where are the trusting people
at? OF course there is not another
bank in Connecticut in the condition of
the Willimantic bank, and there wasn't
even one until that one was discovered.
It. is to be hoped that no other will be
discovered, but it is not to be hoped
that those whose duty it is to make
the discovery will neglect to make it If
it can be made. Bank directors and
bank examiners have other duties than
the duty of being surprised when a
bank turns out to have been rotten for
some time. or the duty of being alter
nately hopeful and depressed as the
revelations Of the rottenness are al
lowed to slowly leak out.
OF all the sad and solemn humbugs
that aff1ict the world there are few more
sad and solemn than a bank which is
only found to be a humbug when 1t
"busts' and surprises its directors, its
examiners and last but not least,
those who have deposited their money

The Bridgeport Standard mildly vet

engaged in making the genial and Hon

weather to be booming politics in any
direction, and the next legislature of
this State is still a far away call. too
far in fact, to be counted upon much as
yet. Therefore we submit that the la
bored efforts of Republican papers in

question OF the next senatorship now,
are a little too previous. The gentlemen
still in office have q considerable time
to serve vet, whether they are returned
or not, and there is no question In any
reasonable mind that they are just as

COAL MINING UNDER THE SEA.
An Enterprise with Some Novel Features
in New south Wales.

| An Enterprise with Some Novel Features
in New South Wales.
from the Boston Standard
It is proposed to carry into effect a
project which aims at bringing from far
below the lowest depths of Sydney har-
Dor, New South Wales, the coal which
biologists had predicted would be found
there and which had actually been
tested by diamond-drill. borings.
Transport, In recent issue, contains a
very ffattering account Of the scheme
now being fIoated on the London mar
ket, from which the following particu-
lars are obtained.
Important coal fields had been devel-
oped both north and south of Sydney
at Newcastle and Bulli--but up to the
present the intervening area has been
left practically untouched, although
plainly shown on the government geo
logical maps Of forty years ago. The
unquestionable advantages which
would fellow the opening of coal mines
in the very heart Of the capital of the
colony have led to the formation Of a
company and induce our contemporary
to take a most sanguine view Of the
outlook. Sydney is an important ship
ping port, where the lines of many
steamship companies converge and the
coal Of the bed In question is In demand
for bunker use and export.
The borings we're made under the SUI
perintendence Of the miners depart
ment Of New South Wales, partly on ac-
count Of geological interest and partly
with the very practical Interior View of
raising revenue. The seam was found
within thirty feet of the depth predict
ed by the biologists, in bore hole
twenty-seven hundred feet deep. For
fifteen hundred feet the borings passed
through a compact sandstone, claimed
to be impermeable to water. The seam
itself is ten feet three inches thick, of
which six feet is clean coal, free from
sand. The shafts to be sunk will be
within two hundred feet of deep water,
SO that the situation will be unique, the
saving on cost of transportation from
the nearest mines now working being
about seventy-five cents to One dollar a
ton. The parent company has secured
a. surface site of small extent, but has
concessions over fourteen hundred acres
below ground (and water) and it Is ex-
pected that several other collieries will
be started, for which there is said to be
room.
There is nothing extraordinary in
mining under water. as implied in the
statements. This has been done on the
Cornish coast and In the copper and
iron mines of Michigan at Silver Islet,
Lake Superior, but the opening of great
eollieries in a large shipping port, with
a delivery from the shaft mouth direct
ly into vessels alongside, is something
which only the mines Of Washington
and British Columbia can rival. 1t is
also proposed to utilize the smaller coal,
screened from the bunker coal, for a
large electric installation and also to
make coke and establish local smelling
works.
