Coal in, NIanchurIa.

The Manchurian has always been
aware that there were large deposits Of
coal lin his midst but he used to i'm
agine that they were under the control
of Gail spirits. and he therefore would
not touch them himself nor allow any
one else to. A good deal of that old
nonsense has been brayed out of him
by recent events-the war and the prac-
teal enterprise of the Russians in his
territory-and the fields are now being
opened. They are abundant and are
found all over the country, and will have
the most important influence in its
development. The climate, soil and
geographical situation of Manchuria
are favorable to the maintenance of a
large, enlightened and progressive
population, the root of which, in many
races interblent through many ages, is
already there. With Russian railroad
running through the country, and
Port Arthur as the outlet and inlet of
its commerce, a new chapter of its his
tory will be opened, and the humdrum
career which it has pursued since the
days of Kublai Khan, and as much
farther back as anybody wishes to go,
may merge into more active and en-
terprising one, giving her new status
in the world and a new relation to its
affairs.-N. Y. Tribune.

time to think what they meant to us in
