ENGLIsHMEN BUY MINES.
SyndicateobtainsC Control ofthe Jellico
Coal Fields.

Louisville, KY, June 22.-An the coal
mines in the Jellico district will soon be
transferred to an English syndicate. At
a meeting between those Interested in
the property and representatives of
British capital in Knoxville, Tenn, the
deal was practically conSummated and
all that remains now to be done is to
receive the money and transfer the
deeds.
E t. Halsey, Hywel Davis and Pow
haitian Woodbridge, who represented the
Louisville interests at the meeting re-
turned today and are well satisfied with
the prospects. The English syndicate
secured an option of 80 days on all the
mines, while the owners are instructed
that all deeds be executed preparatory
to the transfer as soon as the money
is paid, which is to be done within the
specified time, so days.
This will close one of the largest coal
deals ever contaminated in this country
and will bring millions of dollars into
Louisville and other parts Of Ken
lucky.
The deal was negotiated by McCros-
ky, Morton & Jerome, who represent
the millions of English capital and who
will return to London where the nee
eSsary arrangements will be made to
take charge of the mining property.
The total acreage of the JellicO coal
district is about $4,000. The mines all
lie in Whitley county, Kentucky, and
Campbell county, Tennessee. They COW
er about 121 square miles, with the ex-
ception Of a few acres owned by Vu-
HamSDurg people.

TO CURTAIL PRODUCTION.
Pennsylvania Sheet Steel Makers
VIII Shut Down July I.

Pittsburg, June 22.-The sheet steel man
ufacturers are making arrangements for
a general shutdown. 1t is proposed to
close all plants on July 1, and to suspend
operations for six weeks. Fifty-fiVe per
cent of the mills have signified their will
being conducted with that end in view
with the remaining plants. 1t is believed
that the movement viii be successful and
proposed arrangements.
Secretary John Jarrett of the Associa-
ton of Iron and Sheet Steel Manufac-
turers said last night that there is more
iron and sheet steel being produced now
than at any previous time. 1.-THE object of
this movement Mr.. Jarrett said, lis to
curtail production Notwithstanding the
large output, prices are stubbornly low.
They are so low, in fact that manufac-
turers find no remuneration al the present
prices of steel billets and other raw pro-
ducts. At our meeting last Wednesday
sixteen firms were represented, and we
found that they were willing to shut down
their plants. Other firms throughout the
United States are being approached and it
is very, probable that they will agree
to the PLAN
The plan becomes more practicable this
year than at any preceding one, from the
fact that the workers wage scale, to go
into effect July /, shows no change from
that in operation at present. This does
away with the few weeks experimental
work that usually follows the Inaugural
ton of a new scale.

FUGITTI HAS COME.
Japanese Lieutenant Will Observe
American Army.

Seattle, June 22.-The steamer Kin

from Yokohama. Among her passen-
gers was Lieut.. J. Fugitti of the Japan
csc navy, who comes to this country to
watch the construction of war vessels
now being built in Philadelphia and
San Francisco for the Japanese gov
eminent, and, incidentally, to observe
the developments of the war.
The Kinshu brings news of the de-
struction on May 22d of an old temple
known as the Dainenbutsuji at Hisan-
go, Higashinan district, Settsu prov
ince, together with various valuable
buildings adjacent to it. The whole
extent of the buildings covered 1,S69
tsubo. The total loss will be 1000 900
yen. The temple was built about 800
years ago. The fire was caused by a
burning lamp coming into contact with
a mosquito curtain. One of the f1remen
lost his life.
A serious fire at Kyoto on May 25

week warned the members of their flock
that if they danced on Saturday on an
excursion given in conjunction with the
Congrega tionalists there would be trouble
On this excursion the Methodist lads and
lassies, despite the elders danced right
merrily.
Dancing has existed for many years
among all nations and there is a psyche
logical basis for this amusement. 1t is
the outward expression of internal exhilar-
alton of spirits. Nature was the first
dancing MASTER said Mr.. Scudder.
AS to limitations in dancing he said: "a
man should hold his partner at a respect
able distance and not hug her. The wo-

in which many women dress nowadays

What a Relief
1t Would Be
To Feel That You Were Protected
from Such Dangerous Diseases
As cafarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughs,
Colds, Pneumonia and Consumption DUR
ing the Coming Winter-That Such
Protection Can De Given Is
No Longer Doubted.

There is not a father, mother, sister or
brother throughout this country but who
will admit that they have a dread of
the coming winter, and fear that some of
their family may become victim of one
of the above dangerous diseases. Yet this
fear can be overcome and this feeling of
dread changed to one of security and
confidence, if they will accept the evil
dence of thirty-eight hundred doctors,
and the testimony of three hundred and
twenty-seven thousand people, who have
adopted the Australian Dry Air Treat
ment for these diseases. This new germi-
eide, HYOMEI, and the method of apply
ing same, without the use of dangerous
accomplished more good in the way of
preventing and curing these diseases than
all other methods or remedies combined,
as is shown by the fact that but fOrty-nine
persons out of the thousands upon thou
sands treated have reported no benefit re-
ceived, and the majority of these were
persons in the last stages of consumption.
In the face of such overwhelming evil
dence, is it any wonder that The R. T.
Booth Co. claim their ability to protect
the people from disease, and show their
confidence in the new remedy by guaran-
teeing to refund the money in case of
failure.

LIVES ON 81 A WEEK.
Novel Defence Made by a Son of
"Brick" Pomeroy.

Washington, June 22.-Charles N.
PomeToy, son of the late Brick Pome-
roy, was charged in the police court
here today with vagrancy.
Pomeroy is about 80 years old, and an
eccentric genius. He considers himself
something of a poet, having composed
about 200 unpublished sOnnets. A year
ago he was tried here by a jury for
lunacy, but his attorney succeeded in
freeing him.
In court today 1t was charged that
he lived in poverty, and had no visible
means of support. In reply he said he
received 81 from his mother last week,
and this had lasted him.
Il see no reason why he should not
be allowed to live on 81 a week If he
wants to- remarked the judge as he
directed his release.

FIGHT FALSE GODS.
Christian Workers Will Also Begin
War in the PhiIippines.

New York, June 22-The- committee
on China and the executive council of
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions. to which are referred the expedi-
ency of opening missionary work in the
Philippine islands, has reported as fol-
lows:
1--WE feel that the political and militia
~ relations into which the United
States has been so strangely forced
with reference to the Philippine islands,
and also to Cuba and to Porto Rico,
involve certain moral and religious re-
sponsibilities-respo which are
perhaps quite independent of the pre-
else character of the political relation
Zip which may hereafter be formed
with them, and that the Christian peo-
pie of America should Immediately and
prayerfully consider the duty of enter
ing the door which God in his His prov
idence is thus opening.
This appears to be, so far as we can
Judge, the feeling of the Presbyterian
church 1t is significant that already
letters have come to the board from
persons in five different states, urging
the Importance of taking up this work
and making offers of cooperation in
men and money, one pastor having ac
tually raised and paid over to the treas
urer of the board 81 900 toward the sup
port of the first missionary, while the
general assembly itself gave strong ap-
prevail to a paragraph in the report of
it's standing committee on foreign mis-
sions, to the effect that we cannot ig-
more the fact that God has given into
the hands of American Christians the
Philippine islands, opened a wide door
to their population, and has by the
very guns of our battleships summoned
us to go up and possess the land
However, it is only fair to presume
that this sentiment is not peculiar to
Presbyterians. Indeed, there are ru-
mors that the foreign mission boards
of other churches are disposed to con-
slider the question of their relation to
these opening fields. We feel that it
would be quite unfortunate If several
boards should enter any one of these
fields at the same time, thus unneceS-
sari1y duplicating expenses and perhaps
introducing elements of rivalry. We
have heard much in recent years of the
principles of comfy, and we are earn
estly striving to promote that comfy
in lands which are already Jointly occu-
pied. We believe that the new situa-
ton thus providentially forced upon US
affords an excellent opportunity not on
~ for beginning this work, but for be-
ginning it right from the view point of
Christian fellowship and the economical
use of men and money.
ITO this end we recommend that the
executive council be directed to hold
an early conference with the represen-
tatives of the American board, the Bap-
fist Mission union, the Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist Episcopal church
and the board of foreign missions of the
Reformed church in America. with a.

NEW ARMY CORPS.
Eighth Will Be Created and Merritt
Will Command.

Washington, June 21.-An additional
army corps to be known as the Eighth
is to be created. 1t will be comprised
of the troops assigned to the Phillip
pine islands and will be in command Of
Major General Wesley Merritt.
The creation of the new corps Is by
direction of the president and authority
is conferred upon General Merritt to
transfer the command of the corps to
the next officer in rank at such time as
he may deem it expedient to do so, as
matter of military administration, in
order that he may be left free to devote
his attention to important matters of
government connected with the Philip
pine islands.
There is reason to believe that the Gre
alton of the new corps is the following
out of an idea suggested by General
Merritt himself. Upon arrival at the
Philippine islands, General Merritt will
transfer the active command of the
Eighth corps to Major General F. S.
Otis, now his second in command.
AS military governor of the Philip
pines, General Merritt will have so
many duties of an administrative char
acter to perform that it would be i'm
practicable for him to retain the active
command of the troops on the island.
He would be, of course, the supreme
military authority in the Philippines,
but direct command of the force there
will devolve on General Otis.
Promotions of the following regular
army officers will shortly be announced,
the officers in each case being given
commissions in the volunteer service
and assigned to the staff OF General
Merritt

ant colonel and assistant adjutant gen.
