Fusionists and Education.

One John P. Fay, of Seattle has
Been going about the state speaking
in the interests of the fusion party,
and in the course of his "argu-
ments' makes use Of comparative
statements of appropriations made
by different legislatures for certain
educational institutions. The re-
form Legislature of '97 closed the
doors of two Of the institutions Of
learning in this state, and would
have seriously crippled the others
had their schemes not been headed
off in time. Oliver Hall, state SEN
ator from the 18th district, in a COM
nunication, takes Mr.. Fay to task
on his figures, and completely ex-
plodes the force of the Fay argu-
ment In the course of his COM
munication Senator Hall says:
Does he (Fay) expect to make
political capital for his party in
this county, in which the best edu-
cational institution of the state is
located-an educational institution
that will require an appropriation
by the next legislature for build
ing, and also has lands donated by
the general government for that
purpose-by acknowledging that
his party is opposed to this class of
appropriations and the proper sup
port of the educational institutions
Of the state? AS Mr. Fay is proud
Of the record of his party for econ
omy" IN the management of the
university he might have truth
iuily made the following state
nent: The vote of the reform party
n 1887 would have given the uni
versity but $4,000 for two wears.
and the agricultural college $4,000
for the same time; and it requ red
the entire vote of the republican
members, combined with the votes
Of the few reformers who believed
in the proper support of educational
institutions, to raise the appropri-
atoms to the amount these institu.
tons needed.
Had the so,calied reformers been
successful in making an appropri.
a'icn of but $4,000 for the agri-
0s 'qral college, that Institution.

would have been compelled to close
its doors year ago, and it was in
a large measure due to the untiring
efforts of Senator Hall that appro-
priation sufficient to maintain the
college was obtained. Two years
ago the populist nominees for the
Legislature in this county were as
profuse in their reiterations of
friendship for the college as are
those of today, but when it came to
a test all, with single exception,
were found wanting. The records
show who are the friends of edu-
cation, and Oliver Hall and his
collegiates on the republican legis-
lative ticket, will be elected on No
vember 8th.

Manchester. Jan. 4.--The Manchester
Guardian to-day says:
THE government has categorically
stated that Great Britain will refuse to
recognize any special rights granted at
any Chinese port to any particular
power. Any port opened to one govern.
ment must be opened to all or open TO
none. If Russia has been granted the
righ; TO winter ships AT Port Arthur.
Great Britain will enforce her rights
to the same privileges and her ships
will winter there whether China CON
cetlcs or does not concede the right"
The Guardian. continuing, says:
"lf Germany obtains Il naval station
at Kiao-Chou- Great Britain insists up
OIL having lease of ground for a naval
station at the same port. and she will
support every other power making the
same claim.
'The contention OF the government is
that the mos; favored nntien clatlse in
the British and all other treaties with
China forbids any special concessions
of the nature contemplated by Ger
many Mt Kiao-Chou and prevents ma
lions from acquiring special benefits in
which the others have not share.
"The government has also declared
that the same principle applies to such
transactions as railway and mine mon
opOlies. Taking her stand on the treat

edge such concessions and will insist
upon similar railway and mine rights.

fend them as may be necessary,

A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
Boware of Ono Hundred Dollar Silver
Certificates.

Washington. Jan. 5.-One of the most
dangerous cOunterfeits ever discovered
has made its appearance. Mr.. John
Cramer of the subtreasury ut Phila-
delphia to-day brought to the secret
service five 500 counterfeit silver GER
tificates, head of President Monroe.
The general appearance Is excellent,
and after close examination the otfi-
cials of the treasury cash room were
undecided rs to their genuineness, and
only after the notes had been soaked in
hot water. when the two pieces form
ing the front and back of the note
came apart, We're they convinced of
the fraud. On examination of the
days treasury cash another of the
spurious notes was discovered. The
notes brought over by Mr.. Cramer had
been turned into the sub-trcnsury by
two leading banks and the Philndel-
phia custom house. who had received
them as genuine. Agents of the secret
service everywhere have been wired II
description of the notes. with instruc-
tions to be on the lookout for persons
attempting to pass them. Inquiries
have also been sent to all tile leading
cities as to whether any of the notes
have appeared other than in Philadel!
pLia and Washington. and the best
men in the service wilt be put on the
case.
The chief engraver at the bureau of
engraving and printing announced the
counterfeit very dangerous produc-
ton. In view of the dangerous charac-
ter of the counterfeit. Secretary Gage

THE END.
ENoLAND,s COAL SUPPLY.
Mine. Will Last About Four Hundred
Years.

Years.
"It may now be accepted as geolog-
ically certain that between Dover and
Bath there occurs a more or less in
terrupted trough of coal measures OF
$50 miles in length, and of breadth
varying from two to four miles, meas
ured from north to south" DR.. Hull
believes, however. that this trough Is
interrupted by many fexures and
disturbances and that it cannot be ex-
pected to compensate for the possible
exhaustion of the Lancashire and mid
land areas, says the Spectator. Nor,
though he considers that it must extend
under the channel toward Dover, does
he think that it could be worked under
the sea to any extent with profit; as.
except at an enormous depth, the diff
culties Of intruding water would be too
great. Taking each coal field separate
ly, DR.. Hull discusses its probable lat
eral extension under everything strata
and, on the basis that about 1000 feet
represent the downward limit of prac-
teal working he arrives at estimates
in round numbers of the amount of
coal that will be available at the end
of the century. The total for the
United Kingdom is S1.6S3, 100000 tons.
AS the output of coal for 1896 was over
1876 900 900 tons. on the extremely i'm
probable assumption that the rate Of
production, which has more than
doubled since 1860, will remain prac-
ticalIy stationary, these figures of DR..
Hull would give life of about 400
years to our coal mines. Within this
period, then. an enormous readjust-
ment of social conditions and probably
of commercial conditions is bound to
occur,

Aid for American Shipping.

The annual report of Navigation
Commissioner Chamberlain is devoted
largely to statistics and facts in sup
port OF an American merchant marine.
The following paragraph sums up the
growing necessity for government aid
in construction and management of
competing lines:
"Our maritime position must corre-
spond to our pretensions, and to attain
this result American ship yards and
American ships must be increased and
reasonable contributions from the
treasury towards this result should
not be begrudged. Largely through
Indifference, We have lost share in
the transatlantic navigation which
was once ours. The growing trade of
the Pacific is rapidly slipping away
from us. Foreign nations are now
skillfully following the policy of gov
eminent aid to develop their naviga-
ton in the Pacific. Toward the
steamship business to east coast of
Asia alone, Great Britain last year
contributed 81 $50, 900, France 81 ,2l7,-
600, Germany $4SO,OCO, Spain $4l6,-
600, Russia $4O5, 900, Austria 100000
aud Italy $277,OOO. The United
States paid only $4,000 to American
liners to Asia at the regular mail rates.
We have deluded ourselves into the be-
lief that the Pacific trade will become
ours without taking the ordinary pre-
cautions to meet competition. 1t will
require at least 10 months to build YES
sells of over 5000 tons and 16 knots
needed to meet new conditions in the
Pacific. Meanwhile the combination
of four large German lines, aided by
the reichtag, is fastening to complete
steamships to carry out the German
imperial policy in Asia. The relax
ton of the registry law was necessary
to establish our transatlantic COM
merce and similar relaxation is now
necessary to meet conditions on the
Pacific"
