ing in 1890. The value also increased
from 1915 to $11.1S per ton. Iron ore
production increased over "a per cent,
and with but six exceptions all of the
iron ore producing states participated
in this advance.
The total production of coal OF all
kinds increased 22,S76.004 long tons, or
25,061,6 GA short tons, or 13 per cent. The
value of the product increased $11,627.-
479, about per cent. The year was
marked by production considerably in
excess of the market demands and val
ues were much reduced in consequence.
Anthracite decreased 13 cents per long
ton at the mines, and bituminous 8
cents. This decline in value was gen.
eral throughout the United States, there
being but three or four comparatively
unimportant states whose value was lar
ger in proportion in 1895 than in 1894.
Petroleum production showed nota-
BILE increase, especially in Ohio, 1ndi-
ana and California; and the years other
features are decreases in stocks, rise in
prices and extensions southward of prof
table producing districts in the Appal-
achian range.
The total coke product in 1895 was the
largest and the previous year the small
est in recent years. This f1uctuation is
caused by the rise and decline of the
pig iron products. in the manufacture
of which almost the entire coke output
is consumed.

A NARROW ESCAPE
A Berkeley Lady and Two Children In a
Fire

Fire
BERKELEY, June 2S.-Mrs. F. NJ.
Hutchinson and her children had very
narrow escape from being burned to
death last night. While making des-
perate attempt to leave a burning house
the roof fell in upon them.
At 1:30 o'clock Mrs. Hutchinson and
her two children were awakened by
cries of fire. Mrs. Hutchinson seized her
two little children and started to what
she supposed was the stairway leading
from the upper hall of the story, which
she and her children were occupying.
The binding smoke caused her to lose
her way. Finally when she did find the
stairway the roof had already begun
falling in. With both children in her
arms the frightened woman CROPPED
through the binding smoke down the
stairway. She reached the foot of the
stairs exhausted and faint. By this
time the Temescal firemen had reached
the house and found her and her chill
dren lying at the foot of the stairs. Af-
ter receiving medical attention she re-
gained consciousness. The children had
a marvellous escape, neither Of them re-
ceiving scratch.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 2s-The pre-
liminary federal election occurred today
all over the republic and $4,000 electors
were chosen in various electoral dis
tricts. The electors will meet in various
districts next Sunday and vote for the
president, magistrates and members Of
the congress. There Is no doubt Of the
election of General Diaz, whose candi-
dacy has been welcomed in all parts Of
the republic. The polling booths were
opened all over the City Of Mexico and
the election officers were busy, though
the lower classes abstained from voting.
A letter was published today from Hon.
Matiar Romero. Mexican minister at
Washington, resigning his post on ac-
count of an article published in an OFF,
cial journal during the tendency of the
Guatamalan question and which Min
lister Romero felt to be severe in its
judgment of his views regarding the
proper settlement of that question.
Minister Romero reviews his patriotic
labors in behalf of the country, often at
great personal cost and inconvenience.
and adds: Il have continued in my
post, believing long residence in
the United States, my knowl-
edge of its public men. and above
all, the kind welcome have fortunately
been given by all classes in that country
would enable me to render effective SER
vices to Mexico, but if the incident re-
ferred to, or any other, has caused me to
lose the confidence Of my government.
l shall not remain a single day longer
in that post and shall regard it as an es-
pecial favor that be relieved of so bur-
densome an employment in which 1t is
necessary above all to have the conf
dence and the decided support Of my
government"
Minister of Foreign Relations Maris-
cal, in replying to Minister Romero. as
sured him of the entire confidence of the
government and says the article in the
official journal was made necessary by
an editorial in an opposition paper,
which had availed itself in making a
rude attack on the government.
and that article in the official journal
did not involve any reproach. but was
an explicit contradiction of statements
made in the opposition papers. In con-
clusion the minister urges Minister Ro-
nero to put aside the fears of which his
delicacy have inspired and continue in
serving the republic with his accustomed
zeal.
The Associated Press interviewed Mr.
Romero tonight to see If he had recon-
sidered his resignation in view of the
fiattering terms of the letter of Minis
