MINING STATISTICS
The Great Decrease in Anthracite
I-s.3.ll. So Coal Production, q st.s..ss.j ss.S.
WHILE BITUMINOUs INCREASES.

In Pennsylvania the Production of
Anthracite Decreased Nearly A 4,s50,-
900 Tons Below the Production OF
E1s04 and !, 900 900 Below Last Year,
Philadelphia, June 1.-THE complla-
tion of the statistics of coal production
In the United States in 1896 which has
just been completed by Statistician E.
w. Parker, of the United States geo.
logical survey, shows that the product
in 1896 was 190 639, $50 short tons, valued
at S1s5,557,6 SAG, against 193,1i7530 short
tons. valued at S197. ,C4S. in 1895,
decrease of 2,417.5u short tons in
amount and of S2,2i1 1894 in value. The
decrease in product was entirely in
that of Pennsylvania anthracite. The
output of bitumnous coal shows an in
crease of about 1,75O,00O tons. The an
thracite product of Pennsylvania de-
creased nearly 4,250,000 tons. 1t Is a
notable feature, however, that there
was a decrease in the value Of the BIZ
luminous product of over 1900. 900, not
withstanding the increased output, and
that there was a comparative increase
in the value of anthracite, although
on account of the smaller production
1t did not equal the value In 1895. The
average prices obtained for anthracite
at the mines increased from s1.44 in
1895 to $1.51 in 1896. The average price
for bituminous declined from SO cents
to S3 cents.
Among the important bituminous
coal producing states Pennsylvania, Of
course, stands first, with an output of
nearly 50,000,000 tons. Illinois Is an
easy second, with nearly 5000, 900 tons,
or more than 10 per cent of the COM
bined product of West Virginia and
Ohio, which comes third and fourth,
respectively. The race between Ohio
and West Virginia was very close in
1896, there being but 1000 tons differ
ence, and the output of each nearly
1900, 900 tons. These four states yield
about 70 per cent of the total Ditumi-
nous production.
Pennsylvania bituminous product
was little more than 1000 600 tons
West Virginia increased her output
about 100000 tons, and Illinois about
100000 tons. The other important
states showing increased production
were Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, In
dian Territory, Kentucky, Maryland
and Texas, while Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico,
Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington
and Wyoming show decreased produc-
ton. West Virginia had the most i'm
POrtant increase among the Appal-
aChian states, Illinois in the middle
west, and Colorado was the only state
in the Rocky mountain region whose
production increased.

Governor Tunnel yesterday announced
| the appointment Of John r. Nicholson Of

stitution. The reappointment gives gen

appointed to take the place Of James L.
Wolcott, who resigned to look after the
interests of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
in our State.
1t WAS at first contemplated to appoint
three Judges from Naw Castle county, one
from Kent and one from Sussex, but the
plan has fallen through with and it is now
thought that only two Of the Judges will
bo appointed from New Castle county,
one from Kent and two from Sussex.
The latest slate is said to be: New
Castle county, Chief Justice Charles b.
Lore and Associate Judge Grubb; Kent
county, Chancellor John X. Nicholson and
Associate Judge James Pennewell; Sussex
Boyce and Associate Judge Charles f,
Richards. Under this plan tho Rapubll.
cans named would be Messrs Pennewel
and Richards, and William G. Spruance
of this county would be left out Of the list
OF appointments
Hints have been Ehrown that Chief Jus.
tlco Lore wilb succeeded by Judge
Grubb. From the slowness of the ap,
pointments named by the Governor some
credenco has arrived as to the truth of the
report. Some Of the hot house political
leaders of tho Democratic party have had
it In for both Chief Justice Lore and
Judge Cullen ever since these two gentle.
men gave their decision In the Mandamus
case in Kent county and they intend to
have them both removed from the bench

stand that pressure has been brought to
bear upon the Governor to make these
changes in the Judiciary 1t now remains
to be seen if he is Governor or only figure
head like the late Ex-Governor Reynolds.
The people Of Wilmington desire the re-
appointment of Chief Justice Lore and
want him on the bonCh
1t is reported that Governor Tunnel
called upon the Honorable Thomas F.
Bayarl and offered to appoint him Chief
Justice but that Mr.. ayard suggested the
re-appolnting Of Chief Justice Lore. The
new judges may be named to-day.

It was only when the big white cruiser

and her destination ascertained. 1t Is
generally believed, however, that her

SENATORS DISCUSSING SUGAR.
Tho Long Deferred Debate Opened.
Agricultural bounty Defeated.

Washington, June 10.-The long de-
ferred debate on the sugar schedule of
the tariff bill came on abruptly at l
o'clock ye~' rday, after the senate had
disposed OF the cereals in tho agricul-
tural schedule. The interest in the
sugar schedule had been whetted Tor
weeks, and aside from the fact that
more revenue is derived from sugar
than from any other article, there was
the added interest due to the sensa-
tional charges made Of late within and
without the senate, concerning irregu-
larities in connection with the progress
of the schedule. But the debate failed
to develop any dramatic incidents.
Senators and spectators soon lapsed
into a stnte Of Indifference, as the
speeches dealt with a labyrinth of
technical details, of vital interest to the
sugar refiner and expert, but not to
the general public. Mr.. Jones of Ar
kansas opened the debate. to some ex-
tent answering Mr.. Aldrich's statement
on the sugar schedule. II was argu-
mcntative, and lacking In any severe
denunciatory features. The senator
held that the rates proposed gave the
rcfiners an excessive dlfferential, and
pointed out how they had thrived on
the differential of the present law.
Mr.. Vest severely criticised the sugar
trust, and argued that the rates were
a further tribute to its vast resources.
Mr. Caffrey of Louisiana, also opposed
the schedule as a whole.
No final action was taken on any
feature Of the schedule, further than
the withdrawal of the original senate
committee amendments. This leaves
the. house provisions of the bill, with
an amendment increasing the house
differential from S75-1O00 to 95-1O0 cents
per pound. The provisions relating to
the Hawaiian islands went over by
mutual consent.
Early in the day Mr.. Tillman, Of
South Carolina, made lively speech
In favor of the amendment giving an
