CHINA RICH IN MINERALS
Hidden Treasures of the Celestial
Empire Are but Little Knoyvp

H.
The mineral deposits of China are
generally allowed to be very rich.
Much uncertainty exists in this matter.
because trustworthy statistics are not
furnished, but certain definite results
have been achieved, says the Fort
nightly Review. Silver and gold. iron
ore and coal are known to exist. The
two former are mined in Yunan and
Shanse. The supplies Of gold obtained
are 1nconsiderable, because of the dis
enlargement shown to all attempts to
prospect for and work it, but silver has
been brought in from the government
mines north and south in quantities
large enough to make it certain they
are very extensive and very productive.
The coal mines of one district Kaiping,
are now in operation without being
worked to their full capacity. They
give work to 200 men, and have a
daily output Of 1000 or 1,20O tons. 1t
has been stated, on what seems to be
good authority, that the Chinese coal
fields all told, cover an area Of 400 900
square miles. Yunan also has two per-
feet beds, one giving bituminous and
the other anthracite coal, and one of
them extends over an area of q. 700
square miles. In gauging the possibili-
ties Of this single source of supply it
must be borne in mind that the coal
deposits of Great Britain, to which we
owe our unrivaled position as to the
workshop Of the world, do not cover
an area or more than $4,000 square
miles 80
Baron Rishthofen found, in the pro-
vince Of Shanse, coal fields about 5000
square miles in extent, with the beds
ranging from twelve ito thirty feet in
thickness and with coal-bearing strata
running up to as much as 500 feet in
thickness-enough to supply the de-
mands Of the whole world If It might
be placed to advantage. The eoal-now
mined in Formosa may be left out of
count, because Japan has now an
nexed the island and because the DUAL
ity OF the mineral is rather poor. Con-
slider what would be 1.-THE effect of the
trade of the east if even the more &C.

portion of which is smelted by the Chi
nese themselves. This ore is described
as Of great purity. rich in metal and

the working and the production of
these is not available and more than it

DOUBT ITS EXPED!ENCY.
President and Cabinet Consider the
Armenian Resolution,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The meeting of
the cabinet today lasted for about two and
half hours, and it is believed that much of
the time was occupied in the discussion of
the expedency of acceding to the request of
congress as set out in the concurrent resolu-
ton relative to Armenian affairs, and COM
municating with the governments Of Europe
on the subject. AS the secretary of state
declines to say what course decided upon
as regards the resolution it is surmised that
nc decision has actually been reached. 1t Is
known that some members of the cabinet
are troubled with serious doubts to the
advisability of meeting the request of con-
gress and it has been urged that by max
ing the representations desired in the in
terest of these Armenian subjects of Turkey,
the state department would deprive its ar
gument in favor of the Monroe doctrine as
set out In the note of last July, concerning
Venezuela, of all point, since it was based
upon the admission of the right of European
powers to regulate the affairs of Europe free
from our interference a condition for the
free exercise by the United States of sim
liar right to control the affairs of this hem
isphere without European Intervention. How
ever, in the shape 1t took the request of
congress is in no way binding upon the
president as it might have been had it been
embodied in a joint resolution.

BOSTON, Mass. Jan. 31.-The schoon-

the three vessels that rescued the
members of the Cuban filibustering
expedition wrecked with the steamer
j. w. Hawkins Monday morning off
the eastern end of Lon Island. arrived
at this port today From Capt. George
W. Bunker, of the Crosby, it is learned
that great difficulty was experienced
In resculng the men on account of
their unfamiliarity with the sea- and
that to this fact was due the loss of
three men whom the captain saw go
down. The Crosby rescued thirteen
men VINO were in a boat which the
rescued men claimed contained from
eighteen to twenty-nine persons Capt
Bunker says:
However this may be, I saw but
three men drowned, but as the boat
capsized soon after we began the work
OF rescue several probably went down,
as they were so benumbed and ex-
hausted that they could not make any
battle for their lives"

St. Paul Is a Staxer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-At high tide today
the wind north, northeast and blowing eight
miles an hour, there was an effort made to
pull the American liner ST. Paul out of the
sand off Long Branch. The big windlass on
board the steamer pulled on the cables at
tached to the Hedges, and several tugs lent
that the great craft moved only few
feet toward deep water. The probability of
the st. Paul being foated today is remote,
but another effort will be made again at the

MIND WAS DISORDERED.
Harry johnson Hears Voices and
Commits Suicide.

Harry Johnson, who boarded at 2l1O Oak
land avenue, committed suicide early yester-
day morning by cutting his throat with a
razor He was found a few moments after
he had slashed his wind pipe lying in a pool
of blood on his bed. The noise which he had
made after he did the deed attracted the at
tention OF the people in the house, but when
they succeeded in reaching him life was al
most extinct, and medical aid could do moth.
ing for him. The coroner was summoned
and had the remains removed to the county
morgue.
No reason can be assigned for the act only
that during the past few days he had been
drinking very freely, and it is thought that in
a tit of dependency, brought on by drink, he
old, and single.
The deceased boarded with his brother and
1t was his sister-in-law who discovered him.
Early in the evening johnson acted nervous
and stated that he could hear voices. Later
he asked for glass of water, which was
given to him. Shortly afterward it was found
that he had cut his throat. He stated just be-
fore he expired that he had intended to make
away with his life for some time, as he was
tired Of living.

In the case of Anna L. Ames, to recover

house where Ames met his death testified that
they had been visited by Hoy, and threatened
with criminal procedure, unless they did as
he wanted them to. Much that they said was
ruled out, but enough was left in to give the
attorney for the plaintiff an opportunity for
administering the roast to city detective,
who had not enough to do drawing his salary

tain employment securing evidence for out

WAR OF THE SAVAGE CoRPsEs.
Case of the Merchants' Corps Heard
in Court.


The case of the Merchants Salvage
corps against the Firemen's Insurance
Company and the Underwriters Sal
wage corps, intervenor, occupied Judge
Hollis attention in the civil branch Of
the municipal court yesterday after
noon.
The Merchants Salvage corps brings
the action to secure $116 alleged to be
due from the insurance company in ac-
cordance with law passed last winter
providing that the companies shall con-
tribute to the support of salvage corps.
AS usual the differences existing be-
tween the two salvage corps over
shadow all the other issues in the
case. The entire afternoon was spent
in arguing the right of the Under
writer's corps to enter demurrer to
the complaint brought by the Mer-
chants corps. Judge Holt did not de-
eide the question one way or the other,
though he plainly intimated that he
could hardly allow the intervenor to
enter demurrer to the complaint. The
case was continued until this afternoon
at 9 O'clock

Planning a Cut.

The Mississippi Valley 1umbermens asso-
citation is sending out letters to members ask
ing for an expression of opinion regarding
the lumber cut next year. Last year there
was $50, 900. 900 feet more of lumber cut than
the year before, and about 100000 feet was
left in the market at the close of the season.
The lumbermen intend to guard against a
recurrence of this again, and it is probable
that after number of district meetings q
general conference will be held in this city to
decide upon the cut for '96.
