rneLAno's COAL SUPPLY.
rs Ncrveu-iy Discussing Its Possible
Exhnu-tfou

Once again England nervously is dis
cussing the possible exhaustion OF her
coal supply, which forms the backbone
of her commercial supremacy. Leon
ard Courtney, as president of the Sta
tistical society. this week more than
confirms Prof Jcvons' view that the
supply will be in peril within an or
iinary lifetime. The output for 1896
actually was 30 per cent less than it
would have been II the rate of progress
in Jcyors' time had been maintained.
While the British output has increased
less than 2N times since 1860. the
American output has increased tenfold,
while the American cost of output has
greatly Increased. This confirms the
Spectators belief that America soon
will occupy position OF unchallenged
supremacy In the industrial world.
England must adjust herself to a
smaller output OF coal and iron, and n
readjustment OF vocations,
'rf," adds the Spectator. English
supremacy be destroyed. It will be not
through the failure of coal. but through
incapacity to keep pace with the electric
development In America and Germany"

Speaking of public improvements,
We are constrained to remark that
one Of the most noticeable features
in city are clean alleys. 1t is not a
pleasant thing to say, but it is none
the less a fact, that some of the
alleys in Canon City are absolutely
filthy. Now this should not be so and
If personal and public health were
considered. il would not be SO. We
are well aware of the fact that the
health officers are making stenuous
efforts to remedy the evil, but with
out the cooperation of citizens their
labors in this direction are well nigh
thrown away. At certain points in
the city, all manner OF trash is thrown
into the alleys. From these scrap
heaps a stencil arises that smells TO
heaven poluting the air for blocks
around--regular up-to-date disease
breeders. The RECORD hopes to be
able soon TO chronicle a concerted
action to eliminate this worse than
nuisance.

This controversy between Hayti
and Germany over the Lueders case
said an old resident to Washington
Star reporter recently. brings TO my
mind the fact thni the United States AT
one time AT least during my life showed
the same spirit that Germany did in de-
mandinc an indemnity at the point of
gun. The incident happened just aft
er the close of the war and was about
the same kind of affair. The brazilian
government had imprisoned or treated
an American citizen in some outrageous
way. aud the American minister at Rio
Janciro. acting on his instructions. de
manded an indemnity. He was put off
from day to day, and finally from week
20 week. until he made up his mind that
he was either going TO do his duty or
lose his position. SO he said nothing
more about the matter. but waited for
United States war ship to anchor in
the harbor. When the vessel arrived he
quietly moved his effects from the le-
CATION to the bont and then announced
to the powers In Brazil that he had To-
Gated the United States legation on the
deck of United States war ship, and
that unless that indemnity was forth
coming in three hours he would shell

White lie Slept.

Some of his friends are quietely en-
joying little joke on one of the
leading insurance men Of Canon. The
way the story goes the gentleman in
question was returning from Cripple
Creek Sunday night. At Florence he
had to wait few hours for the
Canon train. After becoming tired
of walking about the depot, he found
a car on the track which he supposed
TO be bound for Canon and the west.
He found the soft cushioned seat Of
this car so much more comfortable
than the depot waiting room that he
was soon lost in a peaceful slumber
and for hours was not even disturbed
by the unpleasant dreams of fires or
lost policies. While Mr.. Insurance
Man slept the sleep of the righteous,
a Florence and Cripple Creek engine
quietly hooked to the train and
sped away. When our friend re-
gained consciousness, he was sur
prised and amazes to see by the
breaking dawn the mines, mills and
hilly streets of Cripple Creek. the
place he had left but few hours
before. Now his Cripple Creek trip
is subject on which he declines 20
talk and we advise our friends not 10
mention the subject in his presence.

The Sleighbaugh saloon was one of
the places where the lightning cele-
brated last night. 1t smashed the
window at the southeast corner up
stairs and burnt the paint off their
screen slick and clean, showing the
white wood beneath. James May was
standing in front of Huber & Wamp-
ler's store with the proprietors when
the lightning struck James A. Nc
Candless' residence. He saw the
Lightning strike setting fire to the
shingles, which flew in all directions.
1t seemed as though the bolt would
divide the house in the midst. After
the flash, fire was seen issuing from
the chimney, no doubt caused by
burning SCOT. All three men were
raised right off their feet by the vio-
lence Of the shock. Strange to say,
no damage was done within the house.

Could not drown the cry that rose on high.

For the crimes that they have done.

United States is gaining a clearer

the United States held in that
country. Recent developments,
however, have negatived that sup
position. France appears to be

after which the tone was rather
easier. Gables showed a good rise

ly the trade abroad are wisely dis
counting a big movement. We
note quite a change of sentiment
the past few days. The possibility
of Liverpool taking hold with a
vim is less ignored, and so is the
possibility of receipts falling off.
Towards noon the market was easi-

that the market would not hold.
Futures there closed quiet and
steady at 2 to 2 1-2 advance. Spot
quotations being we'll maintained
and bears being indisposed to putt
out fresh line of shorts, tended
to check the bull crowd, who ap-
peared to be more numerous.
Fresh buying just before the close
started the market up again and
