MORAL EFFECT ON HAVANA.
h the London Times Thinks OF tn,
Fall OF Santiago.

LONDON, July 19.-Thc London Times
In the course of its weekly review this
morning, says: The Santiago negotia-
tions are honorable to both combat
ants, and their success was probably
due to the wise and statesmanlikc
concessions of Washington to send the
Spanish garrison home. The prospect
of regaining their native land is ma.
turaliy grateful to the wearied troops,
and this stroke of policy will probably
have great effect on the garrison at
Havana.
The direct gain to the United States
from the capitulation is small, but the
indirect results are important in the
growth of mutual respect between the
two nations, and the lesson to the
Madrid government that it may now
abandon n hopeless attitude without
loss of military honors.
Judging from the American expert
ment at Santiago, the prospect OF bonn
bardment from invisible naval stations
over cliffs will not be very alarming in
future warfare.

COAL TRADE OUTLOOK.
Coming Year VIII Not be More Prosperous
for Mine Workers.


There are no indications, and nothing on
which to even base hope, that times will
grow more prosperous in the anthracite coal
region. Mine Superintendent John Veith
cOrroborated this view when seen by a re-
porter. "Our quota" said Mr. Veith, has
been 5000, 900 tons For the fiscal year end
ing November 3Oth 1898, ou- colieries
worked an average of between 1856 and 1886
full days. The previous year we worked
about the same number of days" Mr.. Yeith's
hope for more steady times at the mines Is
not very rosy one In fact, he does not see
much hope for improvement. The records
show that for the fiscal year ending last
month there we're only $4,000 men on the
company's payroll, as compared with $4,000
men the previous year There is but one
hope for steady time at the company's col.
lieries, and that is by temporarily abandon
ing about ten collieries out of the forty-one
being operated.
This would give steady work to those EN-
ployed at the remaining colieries, would
probably benefit the company, and Mr.. Veith
thinks that this may eventually be done OF
course this would throw number of men out
of employment who would be obliged to look
elsewhere
With these conditions staring us in the face,
there is additional reasons why every effort
should be made to assist in securing indus
tries to locate in our midst.

Many expressions of sympathy were oc-
casioned few days ago by the story of the
loss met by Mrs Patrick Murphy, of Grier
City. 1t was stated that $l35 she received on
an insurance policy upon the death of her
husband had been stolen from bureau
shortly after she placed it there. 1t now
appears that the money was not stolen.
Mrs. Murphy yesterday found the money
just where she had placed it. She explains
that her mind was somewhat disturbed by
the events attending the funeral of her hus.
band and she forgot where she had put the
money.
