4 GREAT STROKE IN CHINA.

Amid the clash of arms not only the laws
silent according 10 the ancient saying. but the
sounds Of peaceful progress are unhcard. Yet
such progress keeps It's pace At the present mo-
ment. little noticed by mankind at large, and
only briefly and obscurely chronicled amid the
foods Of war news, thcr' is being fulfilled n YER
itably epoch-maklng transaction, the effects OF
which upon the industrial and commercial fut-
ure OF the world bid fair TO be such ms will be-
wilder all computation.
Here is the simple statement: The British
Government has secured for British syndicate
of which, by the way, one of Mr.. Cecil
Rhodess most energetic partners Is n leading
member-a long-term concession for working
the coal and other mines OF the Chinese prov
ince of Shan-Si, building railroads there and in
general developing the province. That is all 1t

alton has seen Its bearings upon the future Of

The coal fields Of Shan-Si are among the most
important in the world They cover IN area Of
more than fourteen thousand square miles, and
are estimated TO contain enough coal to supply
the entire world, at the present rate Of consump-
tiCn, for two thousand years or more. A large
proportion of il is anthracite, equal in quality 10
the best found in Pennsylvania. OF 1t there are
believed to be at least six hundred and thirty
billion tons or more than twelve hundred times

in the whole world in a year There is also
nearly as much buminous coal, OF fine cooking
