In the case of Celia Rhodes, Of Oak
ford court, against May Irwin, OF
Wilkes-Barre, neither the principals
nor the bondsman, John Irwin, Of

DeLong, although he made untlring ef-
forts to locate them.
James Lotus, of Emmet street, was
called to testify whether or not he was
the prosecutor in the larceny case of
James LOTUS against Thomas ID.
Burns, of Wilkes Barre. He said he
was not
Mr. DeLong told that he was unable
to find that any such person as Thomas
ID. Burns or his bondsman, G.. I. Dolan,
existed.
Attorney Kelly asked MIR DeLong
why he had subpoenaed Mr. LOTUS. of
Emmet street, rather than any of the
dozen other men by the name of James
Lotus in this city. Mr.. DeLong re-
piled that It was because this James
LOTUS lived in the Eighteenth ward.
MR.. DE LONGS REPLY.
Wasn't It rather because you knew
he wasn't the James LOTUS who was
the prosecutor in this case?" Mr.. Kelly
asked. Mr.. DeLong replied that he had
not asked the witness whether or not
he was the prosecutor in the case in
question. He simply subpoenaed him,
he said, and knew not what he was
going to testify to.
The hearing will be resumed at 9
o'clock this morning.
Some time during Monday night or
yesterday morning the office of Alder
man Kelly was broken into. The desk
was opened and the papers tossed about
as If by some one searching for some-
thing the desk contained. The drafts
on the stove We're opened to their widest
and when the alderman came around
in the morning the stove was at a
white heat. But for the zinc protec-
ton on the wall the place would prob
ably have taken fire.
Alderman Kelly says that the prowl-
ers were after papers that would have
been useful, supposedly, to the prose-
cution in the Impeachment case. He
had these papers locked in his safe.

JAPANEsE COMpETITIoN.

JAPANESE COMPETITION.
Japanese competition in the coal
market need not be greatly feared. as
the coal deposits of the country are
not very extensive, and the rapid de-
Neiopment of industry in Japan has
absorbed the greater part of the coal
which has been raised; in fact, 1t is
SO scarce now that prices have increas-
ed abnormally. If, however. we look
to Siberia and China, we see great pos
sibilities in coal production. An Amer
lean commission examined the deposits
on the line OF the Trans-Siberian rail-
way, and reported that they had dis
covered upwards of fifty groups of
workable coal. The Amour Valley es-
pecially was reported to be very rich.
1t Is computed that the output in
Eastern Siberia is now about 1000, 900
tons per annum; but whatever it Is,
1t renders Russia Independent of both
japanese, Australian and British sup
plies. When we turn to China, with
its immense resources, we are almost
bewildered at the possibilities of in
dustry in that part of the world.
the article to which we have re-
ferred expresses the opinion that in
the dim and distant future, ii is GER
tain that China and India will be the
two great coal producers of the eastern
world, as today the United Kingdom
and the United States are those of the
western world Already we hear OF
the formation of a British syndicate
which has obtained a concession Of
a coal field in the province of Shan-si,
25C miles long and 40 miles wide Ry
it's side are vast iron deposits of brown
hematite and spathic iron ore and an
abundance of limestone. The develop
ment of such a coal field gives the
opportunity for great deal of specu-
lation regarding the evolution OF indus
try in the far East and its effect on
economic and industrial conditions in
Great Britain"
