his contemporaries wrote about him,
from which we learn that he had a
strange, powerful head, thickly set upon
his shoulders by bull like neck, a
prominent nose, penetrating, ardent
eyes, and that his hair fell in struggling
locks over his forehead. His body was

garment. something like capuchin e

Coal Production.

A very valuable document has beer
issued by the bureau of mines. philadel
phia, showing the production of anthra
cite and bitunlinous coal in Pennsylea.
MIA last year. 1t appears that there was
decrease of over 1000, 600 tons of All
thraeite in 1897 as compared with 1896,
while the production of bituminous
within the same period increased nearly
4, 500, 600 tons. The number of persons
employed in mining anthracite was lar
ger than that of .hosa employed in min
ing the bituminous--thati is the amount
of coal mined for each person working
was far less in the case of anthracite
than of bituminous. Again, the number
of accidents, fatal or otherwise, was
very much larger in mining anthracite
than bituminous. There are various rea
sons why anthracite mining is more
hazardous-the mines are deeper, and
blasting with high explosives is more
necessary; more machinery is employed
IN preparing the coal for market, this
of course, increasing the liability of 40
oident. On the other hand, however
mines are free from the
formation of fire damp or explosive
gases, except under very unusual condi
tions New York Sun.

SPANISH CHEEK
Undiminished - A Complicated
Question to BE Considered
by Peace Com
mission.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. August 20
Premier Sagasta's claim that SPAN
will expect indemnity for all the gov
ernment property in Cuba and Porto
Rico shows the difficult questions
to be treated by the military
aud peace commissioners. Against
this claim it Is said here il is the
established rule of International law
that all government property passes TO
the conqueror when a change OF ter
ritory occurs, while private property
undergoes no change. The question
is complicated by the fact that CUBS
and Porto Rico were not exactly con
quered but transferred by mutua
agreement.
