The progress of English toward uni
versal use was shown when Doctor
Nansen recently addressed the Rus
sian Geographical Society on the theme
of his Arctic adventures. He spoke in
English, saying he knew no Russian,
was not sure of German, and could not
use French with any degree of ease;
but not one of his audience complained
Of not being able to understand En-
glish.

THE FALL OF SANTIAGO,

Following Immediately upon the
last victory of Dewey al Manila the
fall of Santiago presumes the early
conclusion OF peace between the
United States and Spain With her
feet destroyed, her army in Cuba
largely in the hands Of the enemy,
Havana the sole point OF Importance
on the island any louger in her pos
session, and no means Of extending
aid or succor there, Spain is in the last
ditch. The entire land and sea force
of the United States are now free to
concentrate upon the last resorts of
the Spanish, and to terminate the war
at pleasure by force if Spain is not
wise enough to accept peace now on
such terms as she can obtain.
The fall of Santiago without blood
shed is evidence that the Spanish gov
ernment recognizes the hopelesness of
sacrificing the army in battle with
force in every way superior. Santi-
ago is a confession of Spain's inabil-
ity TO go farther. To everybody but
Spain the end is plain. 1t is not pos
sible that her leading men are blind
to the immediate necessities of the
hour. The force that made the fall of
Santiago possible yet remains to the
United States, and when the demand
is made upon Spain TO remove her
army from Havana the same threat
ening strength of army and of re-
sources that made her collapse in
Eastern Cuba is able to bring the
same end in the west of the island.
If Spain will realize this condition
when presented automatically the fall
OF Santiago ends the war. If she de-
lays until an army is thrown about
Havana and a navy arrayed off the
harbor the story OF Santiago will be
repeated. But the completeness of
the victory at Santiago and full know-
ledge that Havana offers no more
hope of defense against the entire
army and navy than Santiago did
against a part presages the not dis
tant close of the war.-Pittsburg
Times.

AT SHERIFF SALE.
Property Of Marietta Run coai and
Coke Company Knocked off
Saturday.


The famous case of Melvin Stephens
VS. the Marietta Run Coal and Coke
Company was brought to mind Satur-
day when the property Of the comp
any was sold at sheriff's sale on the
steps of the court house. The pur-
chasing parties were Abraham G.
/ Jennings, w. Irving Comes and A.
Browning Prentice, of New York City
These gentlemen constituted COM
mittee to buy the property for the
bond holders.
The sale was for S65, 900, and was a
couple of thousand dollars higher than
the two-thirds of the appraised value
of the property. Saturday afternoon
the sale was confirmed and deed or
dered by the court. In accordance
with the war stamp act it was neces-
sary to put sixty-five dollars worth of
internal revenue stamps upon the
deed.
The sale removes from litigation
one of the most complicated cases
that has been brought before the court
at Athens in years. There seems to
have been three factions whose claims
presented the novel appearance of
Kaleidoscope variation.
The case was begun in 1896 when
Melvin Stephens sued the company
for $4,000. At the same time re-
ceiver was asked for upon the repre-
sentation that the company was insol-
vent. Clarence Stephens, brother Of
Melvin was appointed receiver and in
November of the same year a motion
was filed asking for the removal of
o,,;f Il
motions were piled in, in great masses
and in February, 1897, he was re-
moved.
The case has been in litigation ever
since and during that time the work
at the mines has been suspended
while the buildings and property have
been neglected and are now in di-
lap. lated condition. The trouble grew
out of dissention between the members
of the company which finanly assumed
the stage of factional warfare. Some
of the best legal talent of the country
was employed in the case. Repre-
senting the Stephens here Saturday
were Poole G Poole, of New York and
E. B. Kinkead, of Columbus, and May
or o. e. Davis, while w. o. Henderson
of Columbus, represented the Farm
ers Loan and Trust Company, and A.
Prentice, of New York, and Grosven-
or, Jones and Worstell represented
the stockholders of the Coal and Coke
Company.
The property of the company is To-
Gated at Utley, Bern township. A. G.
Jennings, of New York, one of the
principle stock holders, said Saturday
that the case had cost him almost
100000 above the cost of the stock
The factional differences in the comp
any are now disposed of and a re-
organization will be effected 1t is
the intention of the present owners to
put things in shape and begin work
at the mines as soon as possible

RoosEvELT's NAVAL FORESIGHT

Among the things not specifically re-
ferred to by the President as those to
De especially thankfui for the fore ost.
IN naval estimation, is that Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was assistant sec
retary of the navy just when the war
cloud broke. Not because he was 80
full of fight and willing to see the war
come. Better than that He had fore
sigh, for which Admiral Dewey will
render thanks when ne hears OF the
Presidents proclamation. When Dew
ey was almost out of ammunition, and
it was not expected that the Asiatic
squadron would need any, Roose velt
insisted that large supply should be
sent out TO Dewey. He had TO use
some argument TO impress his ideas
npon the department, but TO get rid of
nun and accept the safe proposition "a
supply of ammunition was forwarda
iong before war was declared. IN. Y.

spANIARDs PLAYED FAIR.
But II Was Long AEo wheff They
Were Engaged In War with
England.

In the year 1746, when England
was engaged in war with Spain, Capt.
Edwards, of the Elizabeth of London,
coming through the gulf from Ja-
maica, richly laden, met with violent
storm. The ship sprang leak that
obliged it to run into the port of Ha-
vana. The captain went on shore, and
waited on the governor, and told him
of the occasion of his putting in, add
ing that he surrendered the ship as
prize, as well as himself and crew, as
prisoners of war, only requesting good
quarters. no, sir" replied the gov
ernor; "if we had taken you in fair
sea, or approaching our own coast
with hostile intentions, your ship
would then be lawful prize, and your
people prisoners, but when, distressed
by the hand of Providence, you come
to our port for safety of your lives,
we, being men, though enemies, are
bound by the laws Of humanity to af-
ford relief to the distressed who ask
It of Us. We cannot, even against our
toes, take, advantage of the act Of
God. You have leave, therefore, to un-
load your ship, if that be necessary to
stop the leak. You may fit her here,
and traffic so far besides as shall be
needful to pay charges. When re-
paired you may depart. Twill give you
a pass, to be in force till beyond Ber-
muda. If after that you are taken,
then you will be lawful prize, where
as, now, as you are only stranger,
you have strangers right to safety
and protection"
Here was fairness. The ship depart
ed and arrived without any other ac-
cident in.the port Of London.
