CORONERS' INOUESTS.
Variance Between Deputy coroner Burke

The same question which arose between
Mine Inspector Stein and the Deputy Coroner
Of the Mahanoy District has now been raised
in this district. In the former case the In
spectors ruling has been observed aud that
will doubtless be the resultn the local dis
trict, as it win only be work without renum-
Grafton to hold nquests that are not ordered
or sanctioned by the Mine Inspector.
The following communications give the
status of the situation in the local district

AUST PLEA
Very Moderately Stated by African
Metffodfsts of Chicago,


Methodists Of Chicago.
CHICAGO. April 3o-Mectings were
held in African churches throughout
the city to-day to protest against lynch
tngs in the south. All Of the services
were largely attended and ut each OF
them an address to the public was
adopted. which is In part as follows:
We plead for equal and exact JUS
ttce. We condoNe no crime. nor do We
wish to shield criminals from the pen
nltles they deserve. All we ask is the
rigid enforcement OF law. We contend
that no mon or woman should be put
to death except by due process OF law.
We want every protection possible to
be thrown around the home and the
highest penalty visited upon the VIOLA
tor OF its snnctity. At the same time
ne hold 10 the doctrine that ours is
land OF liberty md law. and'that every
person charged with q crime should
have fair trial. This we ask. not asa
favor. but right. and In this behalf We
urge upon the sober Judgment Of tho
civilized world that this is the only CIV
ilized nation on the face of the earth
that charges man with crime and then
puts him to death without trial. The
negro pleads for law and protests
against anarchy. Can the white man
do more? Does he dare to do less?"

LONDON, May 1.-The Berlin cores.
pondent OF the Times says:
Emperor William has once moro
shown plainly how entirely his most
generous impulses are made to sub
serve the aims OF state policy. and how
far his ideas Of foreign policy are ex-
alted above the petty rancors OF an In
ilucntial section OF the German press.
1t ought to be noted that the kilograms
between Emperor William and Presi-
dent Mckinley regarding the German
cable were both published in the orlgt-
nal English text. On the very eve
Of the knlser's ieiesram. certain papers
published q dispatch from New York,
declaring that Captain Coghlan's dis
missal WIS under consideration, but
that DR.. Holleben did not insist upon
it"
The truth Is TINT many OF thoee who
make the most noise In German foreign
politics do not In the least realize tho
necessities of the situation. Germany
has become deeply committed to n poll
ity of commercial rivalry with Great
Britain and the United States. In au-
,hcritativc quarters. 1t is considered i'm.
peratire that, in the meantime, at least,
Germany should maintain political
