About This Alleged Ageression Of Eus.
sia on Chinese Territory.
London, March S.-All the London pa
pers comment on the menacing aspect
of affairs in the far east. The Daily
Chronicle in an editorial says: las q
rebuff to Lord Salisbury nothing could
be clearer and more painful. Russia
has simply begun the partiticno Of China.
If anybody asks what China will do the
answer is simple. There is no such
thing as China. The real questions are:
What will England do, and what ia
pan? If ever Great Britain needed a
strong man II is now, and the country
will learn with dissatisfaction that
again. at a moment Of acute crisis, the
premier's health compels him to go
abroad. Thus both the queen and the
prime minister are to be absent when
their presence is peculiarly needed"
The ministerial Standards editorial
says: Years may pass in the execution
Of the designs. but from the moment the
covenant is signed the petition Of
China is begun. The disguise is too thin
to be meant to deceive. 1t is no wonder
that the eyes Of the nation are fixed in
eager expectation upon Japan. The
question remains whether England will
resist Russia or proceed to restore the
equilibrium by independent measures of
her own"

NEVER-ENDlNG COAL TROUBLE
Breaks Out with Prospect Of Causing q
General Strike In Illinois.


General Strike In Illinois.
st. Louis, March SIT is stated here
that another strike of Illinois coal min
ers is probable as a result of the cut in
wages by the Big Muddy Coal company,
OF Gainesville. The Big Muddy Coal
company has made q contract with the
miners in its employ at a cut of cents
below the Springfield scale, or 80 cents
q ton.
The contract Is to be in force fo- one
year from April 1, the date on which the
Springfield scale goes into effect The Off
GERS of the company give as the reason
Tor the cut that on account of shipping
distance and local conditions the COM
pany cannot compete with the others
under the Springfield scale. Officers of
other companies say that if the Big
Mucdy is permitted to cut they will
have to Go SO also.
