Mining Coal Near Goshen.

Miners near MottviIle, Michigan, just
across the line are enjoying the novelty
and economy of using coal mined right
on their farms. 1t is probably only
light drift, but is obtained practically
right on the surface without sinking a
shaft, and the farm owners are not the
least bit excited They are glad that
their wood saving days are over at any
rate. The bituminOus article burns
well, and is about the same as the or

Frank Thomas Writes from Klondike.
j. w. Thomas has received an inter
esting letter from his son, Frank, now
at Bonanza Creek, in Klondike. The
letter was dated Oct l6, 1898, and has
been long time in reaching its desti-
nation. He says that the thermometer
at that time was IS degrees above zero,
though the temperature had been be-
low zero few times.
He and his partner are running a
tunnel into the side of a hill where they
are working. The claim is rich one.
Frank is working on salary of SlON
per hour He says that they get as
much as 81 81 to the pan.
He says that Dawson had q fire
postoflice burned-but he lost no mail
They are cornering articles of food at
Dawson now. Butter is cornered and
sells for 81 80 per pound. They are
trying to corner sugar. Frank says
that he has everything necessary in bis
outfit and the corner does not effect
him. He adds that be will be more
than even with the country by spring
as he will then send out more money
than he has expended in his Klondike
trip. He sent some Klondike gold to
his father, some small pieces which
could be sent conveniently in letter
j. ID. Stelnbaugh, cousin of Franks 8
writes from Skaguay that the property
in which Frank invested there can be
sold for $500 in advance of what i,
cost him, but j. w. Thomas, his
father, has advised against selling it.
These few facts go to show what 6
young man with pluck, endurance and
courage can accomplish.

Railroad Fares are Reasonable.

Legislators in different states are
from time to time urged to tinker with
passenger tariffs on railroads and enact
law compelling general charge of
two cents per mile. The current rate
is three cents, but the average falls be-
low that owing to concessions granted
for special occasions. Persons who ap-
preciate the convenience and comforts
provided by the railroads will not con-
slider q three-cent fare exorbitant. The
present charge for twenty mile ride
on railway will not pay for horse hire
for such trip, to say nothing o: the
time required for an overland tourney
and the discomforts of muddy roads
and inclement weather. 1tw

Hon. George Won Meyer, the president
Of the club, introduced the speakers with
well chosen words, Secretary Long being
the first to receive greetings of the club.
Secretary Long in his opening paid the
following tri ibute to Admiral Dewey:
"In behalf Of the navy thank the Essex
club for celebrating this day, which is
one Of the most conspicuous in naval an
mails, and In paying its tribute of respec t
and admiration to the most con spicuous
naval hero Of recent times. l cannot
claim him, however. for the navy alone.
Nor can claim that your plaudits are
solely on account of his naval distinction.
By his display of large powers of admin
istration. by his poise and prudence, and
by his great discretion, not only in act,
but also in word, which Is almost more
important, he has proved himself great
representative citizen, as we'll as great
naval hero. In the cluster Of military
| stands at the front No captain ever faced
o more crucial test than when, year ago
this morning, thousands of miles fro IN
home with every foreign port in the
world shut to him, nothing between him
and annihilation but the thin sheathing
of his ships, his cannon and::his devoted
officers and men, he moved upon the
| enemy's batteries on shore and on sea
with that unfiinching faith and nerve
which sometimes fail other men even of
courage and spirit. and, before the sun
was half way up the heavens, had silenced
the guns of the foe, sunk the hostile fleet,
demonstrated the supremacy of the
American sea power and transferred from
Spain to the, United States an empire of
the islands OF the Pacific"
| Further along he said: "An inter-
| cepted telegram, which l forwarded to
Dewey, was brought to me by news

Limit Of Concessions in
Proclamation.
Natives Can Have Control Of
Local Affairs.

Washington, May 1.-The state DEPART
ment has received long report by
cable from President Sch urman of the
Philippines commission of the conference
that was held at Manila Saturday be-
tween the members of the commission
and the Tepres esentatives of Aguinaldo.
The text of the despatch was not made
public but it was stated the report agreed
precisely with the Associated Press state
ment of the proceedings in the conference
as cabled from Manila.
1t is declared fat the state department
that the proclamation issued by the
Philippine commission just before the be-
ginning of the last campaign presents the
maximum concessions to be made to the
insurgents by the UNITED States govern
ment. 1t is realized now more strongly
than at any other period that the capacity
of the Filipinos for self government is
an undetermined question. The United
States government is willing to accord
the natives an opportunity to test their
abilities, for the Philippine commission
proposes to allow. them almost complete
control of their local affairs, exercising
only such supervision through the United
States military as may be necessary to
guard against the consequences of mis-
takes on the part.of the native municipal
and provincial officials in their first ex.
periments tself- government. The ex-
pertinent Is already in, progress at soble

authorities have hoisted the flag and as

attitude towards the United States of a
considerable element among the Filipinos

civilization does not 60 backward. 1t Is
the result, the duty of which is now q
trust upon us. 1t is the result at which
We are all aiming. and which We shall all
be ashamed not to promote. 1t Is true 1t
will be long, hard, trying and taxing
work, and 1t Is idle to depreciate Its mag
nitude. 1t may be true, also, that there
are those who would be glad, or think
they would be glad, to have our entrance
into the Philippines result In ignominious
failure and disaster. But they ara unjust
to themselves. The better hope of the
world Ia that 1t will tend to the social
and political enfranohjsement of those
islands under our lead. 10 this high and
Christian spirit you will all come. The
only difference among us, after all, Is q
difference as to the method in which . the
thing shall be worked out. Very likely
the method of somebody, might be better
than that of somebody else. Possibly
some of our good men or women. II they
were at the Presidential holm, would
make 1t all plain sailing In half day.
But just at present u plain, honest, de-
voted citizen, whose ambition aud pur-
pose is to render good service to his
country and to humanity, Is on duty
there, and he cannot give that duty up or
transfer it or shirk it. He Is doing that
duty rs best he can, and he is doing 1t in
just the spirit, II not in just the way,
that the most exacting combination OF
good sense and good conscience at this
table would have him do it. The good
news of the last few days, with Its
promise of pacif1cation and adjustment
upon the lines of an enlightened and
mutually helpful relation, is the best
Justification OF his action and the best
answer to any criticism Of his policy OF
to the charge that he has been drifting
without any policy at ALL"
The next speaker was Lieut.. Com
mander Corwin j. Rees of the Newport
torpedo station. who on the memorable
day carried the orders of Admiral Dewey
as executive officer Of the flagship
Olympia. His speech, which WAS par.
ticularly eloquent complimented Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Long for
their able foresight in supplying Dewey g
fleet with the necessary fighting material.
He said the battle was the most daring
in its execution of this or any other war.
1t seemed incomprehensible that an un-
armored squadron oould dash through
such a storm Of shot an shell, and
emerge without the loss of ship, man
or q meal. Never was there such lesson
of eternal vigilance so we'll exemplified.
No one ever asked or questioned which
vessel led the fleet, for one master mind
directed all. Dewey staked all because
hs had confidence in American sesmen.

OUR INTERESTS WILL NOT SUFFER-

Washington, May l.-L0ed Salisbury's S
speech in reference to the agreement
reached by Great Britain and Russia as
TO China, was read with the greatest in
tsrest here. The prevailing sentiment is
one of relief that by this agreement has
been removed an element that threatened
to involve in hostilities two great ma
tiOns with which the United States is
desirous TO live on the most friendly
terms.
There is some curiosity to know just
how the commercial interests of the Unit
ed States are likely 20 Ee affected by this
important arrangement.
The highest official authority here does
not accept the view set out In some of the
British newspapers that the United States
has lost it's chance in China; that the
door is to be shut against us; and that
We have deserved this exclusion by fail
ing to substantially assist England in So.
