the Indian ocean, land lines across In-
 dia, cable lines again by way of the
 Straits Sediments, and thence along
 the Asfatic coast and among the isl ands of Oceanica. The commerce of
 the countries of Asia and Oceanica ly- ing commercially adjacent to the Philippines Islands amounts to more than $2,000,O0O, ,000 annually their i'm ports alone averaging $100 000,00 3 month, or $1 ,2O0, 100000 per annum. Of this enormous /market the United States at present obtains less than $ per cent, despite the fact that the i'm ports into the countries in question are largely composed cf the classes Of ar ticles produced in the United states and offered for sale by her manufact- urers and merchants. With a direct cable communication across the Pa cifc, direct water communication through 3 Nicaraguan canal, and an increase in the number and capacity of American steamships. it seems not improper to suppose that a material addition might be made to the share obtained by the United States in the trade of that part of the world.

THE WORLDS CABLES
(Continued From First Page.)


 than that with the automatic trans mitters now coming into use with cable lines, while the duplexing of the cables their carrying capacity is doubled. From Q cost to the sender of $100 per message, which was origin ally charged on the first transatlantic cables, the rate from New York to London and the great cities on the continent of Europe has fallen to p cents per word. From several hours required for the transmission of a message and receipt of a response. the time has been so reduced that mes sages from the executive mansion to the battle field at Santiago were sent and a response received within 12 min utes while a message sent from the house of representatives in Washing ton to the house of parliament in Lon don in the chess match of 1898 was transmitted and the reply received in 133A seconds.
 The effect of this ready an mex pensive method of transmitting thoughts and words from continent to continent throughout the civilized world is shown in the rapid deE elop- ment Of international commerce since it began. The first successful c5.ie lines between the United States and Europe were put in operation in 1866 In that year our commerce with Eu- rope amounted to $352, ,232 ,289; in 1876 to $728,9 ,959 ,O53, in 1886 to $896, .504, in 1896 to $1,O91, ,682, STA, and in 1898 to $1,279, 739 ,936, while our commerce with the whole world, which in 1866 amounted $7S3, ,671 ,588 had by 1898 reached the enormous sum of $1,S47,- 531, ,984.
 With this evidence of the advantage Of prompt communication between commercial centers desiring an inter- change of their products, it may not be improper to call attention to the fact that the United States now ob- tains but small proportion of the commerce of Asia, which it is at pres ent only able to reach through the long and devious submarine and land tele- graph lines across the Atlantic. the continent of Europe, the Mediterran- can, the Red Sea or the Persian.

MONSTER COAL BREAKER.
Lehigh Valley Coal Company Now
Has it in Operation.

Extensive improvements and new
machinery are being added to the
Prospect breaker Of the Lehigh Valley
Coal company at Midvale, which is said
to be the largest in the anthracite coal
fields. Its capacity is 1000 cars of coal
a day. or in round numbers 5000 tons.
A production test was made few
davs ago and in the space OF one hour
155 cars of coal--465 tons-were run
through the breaker, cleaned and ready
for market. This record is phenomenal
and is never known 10 have been
equalled in coal mining.
The Prospect is supplied with coal
from six openings-fOur shafts and
two slopes-namely; The Henry, three
quarters of a mile up the river road:
old Port Bowl,ey shaft, one-quarter of
a mile north from Prospect; the Oak
wood shaft 800 yards 10 the left of the
breaker, Prospect Hillman slope Mid
vale Hilman slope, and Prospect shaft,
on the immediate promises of the COM
panys works. The coal from tho Hen
ry, Port Bowltley and Prospect Hillman
slope is hauled on what was formerly
the old canal bed through a tunnel 400
feet long 70 the MidVale Hillman slope
and from there conducted to the
breaker through conveyor limo. Six
cars, or eighteen tons, a minute. are
handled with ease by this particular
system.
A large force Of rockmen is now
| working day and night driving a 4so
foot shaft down 10 the red ash vein,
which has not yet been tapped at the
| Prospect When completed this will
| greatly facilitate the producing OF coal,
minimize the cost and shorten the dis
| tance.
Among the important improvements
under way is the construction of an i'm
mense electric liNht plant TO furnish
| light for the offices, breaker, shafts and
important workings in the mines. The
! plant will not he completed for eight
or ten weeks. New and larger engines
and a new engine house and machine
shops viii also be added 10 the main
plant, while an immense fan is being
constructed at the Mdvale Abbott
slope. The capacity is also TO be in
creased by the addition OF sixteen sS.

used for nearly a week, and have prov
ed thorough success. A furnace is
being erected in connection with them.
The completed furnace may be In full
operation in two months, although
much OF the minor work remains to be
done. The structural iron companies
have nearly all completed their work,
but minor buildings must be erected
before all departments are finished.
The capacity of the old furnace is
from $50 to 1000 tons of iron a week,
and employing normally forty-five or
fifty men. At present over one hun
dred and twenty furnacemen and con-
etructors are employed at the plant,
and normally the number of employees
at both furnaces will approach one
hundred. The amount of iron TO be
produced by the new furnace is 1,500
tons a week.
The appliances used In the new plant
represent the most modern and COM
plete Ideas in mechanical science.

STATE OF THE COAL TRADE.
An Opinion from the Black Diamond
Concerning 1t.


The fact that the Morgan, Vanderbilt
and other closely allied interests OF
New York and Philadelphia now prac-
ticallv control the stock of the carry
ing and producing anthracite coal COM
panies. together with the further fact
that many large individual operators
have consolidated their concerns, is
proof positive that unity of action Will
prevail to a greater extent than ever
known before. So that in all specula-
ton as to the future Of the anthracite
coal trade, due account and credit must
be taken of the foregoing, and buyers
and dealers of high and low degree
would do well to govern themselves ac-
cordingly.
Anthracite coal advances today, July
/, % cents per ton on all sizes, SO that
the new circular is So broken and $5.25
for the smaller sizes. This confirms the
prediction made in these columns for
several weeks, and affects all points
East as well as West. The anticipated
advance has undoubtedly stimulated
business and more coal has been sold
during June than for the corresponding
month last year; though that is not
saying much as June is always very
quiet. The trade tributary to Buffalo
has bought more freely than that part
of the West which draws its supplies
from Chicago.
Still there has been a very fair vol
ume of small orders placed during the
past ten days and the tonnage is fully
as much as shippers cared to book and
ship this month. The market is firm at
all points i'm the West and the fact that
shipments have been restricted have
given it additional strength locally.
Considerable uneasiness is manifested
among those shippers who are opposed
to the practice as to what may be the
general result on the market Of making
contracts for the season for wagon de-
liveries to a certain class of trade, in
Guiding schools. churches and fiat
| buildings. 1t is the idea of those who
favor this practice to thus protect an
thracite tonnage against soft coal.
Those who do not look with favor
upon these contracts fear that they
are being made 50 generally, and that
the tern Fiat buildings" Is being inter-
preted so broadly, that the effect upon
retail prices for the year cannot be
other than demoralizing.-Black Dia-
mond.

WasHinE out 1he stomach.
NEVADA

Within recent years those physicians
who have made a specially of diseases
Of the stomach have become convinced
that the only satisfactory method Of
treating a great variety of stomach
troubles Is by washing out the stom-
ach. This little performance Is car
ried out by means of a flexible soft
rubber tube, swallowed by the patieRt.
At the other end of the tube Is a rub
Der funnel, and when the stomach
tube has reached the stomach warm
water or some medicated fluid is pour
ed In, and the stomach is subjected to
a thorough cleaning.
Disagreeable indeed the process Is at
first. Indeed, for the first few times
Of the Introduction of the tube the pa
tlent has often to be held down forci-
bly, to his seat. Then, curious to state
the dyspeptie gets used to the stomach
tube and even begins to like It, The
cranks express such longing for 1t
that long after they are cured of their
trouble they go on using the stomach
pump once, twice or even three times
a day. They haunt the PHYSICIANS Of
fee and become his bugbear during his
office hours. Then finally, when the
medical man puts his foot down and
fatly refuses TO pass the tube any
more, they procure stomach pump
for themselves and use 1t before
looking glass.
