COAL AND IRON.
showing That Great Britain is, Not
Holding Her own.


statistics show that, whereas Great
Britain in 1s4O produced rs per cent. OF
the worlds supply of coal, at the pres
ent time it produces only "a per cent.
Atlantic liners no longer carry coal
from Great Britain for the return jour-
ney; they now take in American coal,
and no less than 1900. 900 tons of Amer
lean coal were thus consumed in 1885.
The condition OF the iron manutactur-
ing industries has always exercised a
most important influence on the pro-
duction Of coal, so that large demand
for iron draws with it a large demand
for mineral fuel During the last %
years the worlds production of pig
iron has increased from 12,OOO,OOo TO
26.000,000 tons, but the share taken by
Great Britain has fallen from ASS per
ceLt. TO 30 per cent, while that OF the
United States has increased from l4.l
per cent. to 26.2 per cent, that of Ger
many from ia per cent, to 21.4 per
cent, and that Of Russia from 3 per
cent. to Al per cent.
Indeed iron is now being imported
from the United States into this coun
try, and, incredible as it may seem, the
railway station at Middlesborough, the
center of the iron trade, is built OF iron
brought from Belgium. Surely then
the author of "0ur Coal Resources al
the Close of the Nineteenth Century
is hardly right in thinking that British
| coal and iron still hold their own. HI
argues that other countries OF Europe
are exhausting their coal supplies jus
as Great Britain, yet the figures he give
show that Germany has in reserve
within a depth of 5000 feet, l0s'oOo,OOO'
900 tons of coal, as compared with ou
81 $50. 100000 tons within depth o
1000 feet. And this estimate does no
include brown coal, of which German

Would you know the origin of the Gus
tom of making a wish when star falls ?
If so, you need not travel all the way
to Galicia, a province northeast OF
Hungary, whence it comes. There IT
is believed by the peasantry that when
a star falls il reaches the earth in
form of a beautiful woman with long
glittering, blond hair. Every handsome
youth she meets in her wanderings be
comes the victim of the starland beauty
because she has the power Of magic.
At least that is what they call il in
Galicia. Having bewitched her victim
she encircles him in her arms and then
slowly strangles him to death. If GER
tain words are murmured the moment
the star falls, the woman has no power
to harm that particular person.-Phila-

AS an instance of how a local
paper serves to bolster up town
when its people are panic stricken,
we notice the Park City Record.
During all the dark days of the
camp when its great mines and mills
were closing, and utter ruin seemed
to face the inhabitants, the Record
stood by its guns, and in every
issue spoke words of encouragement
and good cheer. When the first
fear was over, and the people had
time to collect their scattering wits,
they found that the Record had all
along predicted that Park City was
all right, and it's faith had remained
mistaken through all. 1t is in
suca cases as this that the full power
of local paper for the good of the
community is felt, and while few
really appreciate its efforts to build
up and advance the section in which
tits published, it's work is unceasing
and tireless. No man or number OF
men can ever exert the same power
over the destinies of community rs
fearless and honest town paper,
and its influence is only measured
by the support it receives. In this
instance it should be unanimous.

CANALEJAs' VISIT To CUBA.
The Editor in Conference with Va
rious Political Leaders.

Havana, Nov. 21.-Senor Jose Canalejas
y Mendez, editor of Ell Heraldo of Mad
rid, one of the leaders of the Spanish lib
erals and former cabinet minister, imme-
diately after his arrival here to study the
conditions of the island visited the au-
thorities. Later he was entertained at a
banquet and has already had many confer
ences with leading representatives of the
various parties. He has advised the con-
servatives to acknowledge the good faith
of the governments intentions and declar-
atoms with reference to the new regime
Last night Senior Canalejas exchanged
views with the autonomsts The confer
ence was largely attended, and the pro-
ceedings were of the most cordial char
acter. Senor GalVez, the president of the
autonomist party, traced the history of
the party and the persecution it had re-
ceived for its loyalty to principles He
said he had not been a. partisan of Gen.
Weylers political or military policy. He
had confined himself to indicating his
gratitude when Gen. Weyler released the
imprisoned autonomists. In his opinion
signs of favorable reaction were now eVi-
dent, he believed, and he said that the
announcement of the new regime would
lead to a thorough reorganization of the
autonomist party as soon as sufficient
guarantees were offered for the establish
ment of the new regime. The autonomist
party would then demonstrate its impor-
tance and influence. Senor Galvez also in
dicated that the conduct of Capt. Gen.
Blanco thus far met his full appreciation
Senor Galvez and Senor Canalejas agree
in thinking that the serious economical
problem confronting the country would
be best solved by autonomy; but the study
of this question is rendered additionally
difficult by the want of statistics and data
necessary to prepare a definite scheme of
solution.
Ell Pals, the autenomist organ, says to-
day that the evident conviction of Senior
Canaleias is not inconsistent with the
promises of Senior Sagasta. 1t considers the
action of Senior CanaleJas in coming here
as entirely in order, applauds his patriot
ism and intellectual gifts and expresses
the hope that he will soon visit other parts
of the island This he expects to do, be-
ginning with the province of Pinar del
Rio. He will accompany the Spanish col
umns in their operations.

WIFE FINDS HERSELF A WIDOW.
Seeking Her Husband She Finds Him
Corpse.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 2-Thursday
night, when a great crowd was in town
attending a circus, a man was killed by
a passenger train on the South Carolina
and Georgia road, near the union station.
The body was mangled. For two days it
lay unidentified, and then, supposed to be
that of a tramp, was buried in potters
field. In the meantime, a horse and
buggy left at a livery stable by j. w.
Wallace of Wallacevile, Fairfield county,
whose father, Dr. John Wallace, practiced
medicine In Columbia for many years, re-
mained uncalled for, while his wife and
five children waited for him al home. The
lady, former Columbia girl, came to
Columbia to-day, and, hearing that an
unknown man had been buried, she de-
clded to see the remains 1t was grew
some investigation of mangled flesh and
bone, but it satisfied Mrs. Wallace that
she was a widow, and need search no fur
ther for her husband. The remains were
relnterred, and in a few days will be re-
moved to the family burial grounds at
Wallaceville.

Oct. 10 last the mutineers, assisted by $50
NIohammedan tribesmen, attacked the
camp at Usoga In the fierce fighting
that followed Lieut.. Fielding, Maj. Thurs
ton, Engineer Scott, Civil officer Wilton
and fifteen soldiers were killed. The
wounded numbered thirty, including Capt.
Mcpherson and Chief of Civil officers
Jackson. The mutineers were finally de-
feated, after losing 100 killed and wounded.
Maj. Macdonald has been Joined by the
Usoga native army and it is hoped he
will be able to quell the mutiny in a
few weeks. A detachment of Indian troops
from Mombasa will start imediately to re-
inforce Maj. Macdonald.
Maj MacDonalds expedition left XII
kuyu, east of Victoria Nyanza, toward
the end of last August. 1t then included
ten officers and about 1900 men, among
whom were fifty Sikhs. Maj. Macdonald

camels as wen as Maxims Evil

in fighting on the Sikhs and Maxims The
leader Of the expedition, Mai. Macdonald,
has had many years experience in Ugan-
da, and has frequently aided Capt. Fred
erick Luegard during disturbances there.
He left London early last summer for
Kikuyu. 1t was then understood that he
intended to ascend the Juba river on be-
half of the British government. but 1t has
since been reported that his real goal is
the upper reaches of the White Mile in
the hope of forestalling French expedi-
tions which are believed to be moving in
that direction. Usoga lies between
Uganda and Cavirondo.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 21.-The Daunt-
less returned to this port from a mystic
rious voyage on Nov. 13, after having
been lost sight of from Savannah for
nearly a month. She went into dry dock
and received some repairs, and in three
days was ready again for sea. She char
tered to tow a vessel to Savannah, and
left on Thursday last for that port

an officer to make a thorough examina-
ton for evidences of filibustering. Find
ing none the tug was released, and pro-
ceeded with her tow to Savannah, claim
ing that was her destination.
Her owners say that the towing busi-
ness of Jacksonville is not sufficient to
pay, and they seek other ports for renu-
nerative business. There is no evidence
nor suspicion that she has other flibus-
tering schemes on foot, as she has re-
ported at Savannah and begun work

Last night the prisoners were kept in

crowds in the street awaiting the appear
ance of the van. The prisoners are we'll

One of the attorneys for the defense told
the jury that the case was attracting the
attention Of the civilized world and that
the reports were going by the Associated
Press all over the globe.

man, who has won a brilliant triumph In
this case, and who with admirable self

The case goes to the jury in the morn

ten hours to arrive at verdict. Popular
belief is that most of the eleven men for

portunity to prove the extenuating cir

very guardedly of the Cuban war and
Spain's attitude toward the United States
1T seems" he said, ''as though the at
utude of the United States is hostile to
Spain, though, perhaps, it is not meant
to be so.''
The marquis repeated the oft-cabled
statement that the liberal party in Spain
has been much opposed to Gen. Weyler )
method of warfare in Cuba, although the
conservatives were not inimical to Gen.
Weyler. The marquis also said that from
recent accounts in the public press he
thought affairs in Cuba were moving sat
isfactorily for Spain.
Whether Marquis Apezteguia is bound
for Cuba with a specific government mis-
sion he did not say 1t is hardly prob
able, as the party of which he is the head
is by no means the supporter of the Sa-
gasta ministry.
