Seven Hundred Years of Coal.

According to the most authentic his
tory Of the coal trade, last year mark
ed the seven hundredth anniversary
of the use of coal as fuel. Taking the
most moderate estimate Of the antiq-
uity Of man. and considering the fact
that the coal was always here, it ap-
pears that we were a long time in
availing ourselves of this most valua-
BILE asset which nature placed at our
disposal. Many civilizations -four
ished and died out without it's use, and
it may be said that it's potentialities,
as a factor in the progress of man.
kind, were never realized fully until
the present century. Up to it's dawn,
aside from the warming of the body
and the cooking of food, little import
ance was attached to the fuel question.
For these purposes q few fagots or
billets of wood sufficed. But in time
we discovered that in the fire there
was a giant a thousand times more
powerful than the tabled monsters OF
antiquity.

LIVE WIRE KILLS FIREMEN.

Omaha Men Are E1ectrocuted While
Fighting a Blaze.
In the presence Of some 5000 persons
four firemen were electrocuted at the
Mercer building fire in Omaha Wednes-
day afternoon by a live wire. The men
were placing reaching ladders in the
midst of wires supposed to be dead, when
Lieut.. Anderson toppled over dead and
second later FIVE more were stretched
on the ground. Two were revived, but
the others were beyond recall. The
blame of the affair has not been settled,
but will be thoroughly investigated. The
Mortified crowd stood motionless as the
men dropped one by one as the wire
struck them.

The News and Herald does not
claim that it was the only newspaper
in the United States to say in efes:
that the Philippine Islands would cost
Us more than $20,00O.0oo, but it may
be mentioned that when it was an
noulcea that the peace commission
had agreed that America should pay
this sum, We then s1id that the islands
would be q never ending source Of
trouble and would ccst the Uni.cd
States many times the $50, 100000 and
the sacrifice of many lives. 1t was
not hard thing to predict. The in
habitants are totally different from us!
in every respect, and it WAS not TO be
expected that they would understand
US. Besides there was a strong sus'
picion that in some quarters these
islands were wanted purely for specu
lation purposes, and that they were tc
be. taken 10 satisfy the greed of thi!
element. We also said that rebellion:
would break out at frequent inte, ysls
and they would not be easily pu
down. The cost to the United States
is already many times twenty million
dollars, and the end is not in sight

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-TEe caucus Of
the House Republicans which was he'd
in the Hail of the House OF Representa-
tiyts tonight was both interesting and
important. The contest for Speaker
and other House officers WAS cut and
dried affair. Before the adjournment of
the caucus, after discuss on lasting al
most two hours, the RepL mem
bers without a dissenting vote decided
to re-enact the Rec. rules.
The selection of a candidate for
Speaker by the party in power is usually
a very animated affair, but months ago
all the other candidates who entered the
field after the retirement of Speaker
Reed, abandoned the contest, leaving
Gen. David B. Henderson, of Iowa, the
unopposed candidate. His nomination
was therefore foregone conclusion and
he was nominated tonight by ACCLAIM
ton.
The officers of the last House, except
Col. Russell, the Sergeant-at-arms, were
renominated without opposition.

THE KENTUCKY
A Valuable Acquisition to the United
States Navy.

The battleship Kentucky reached
HamDton Roads Sunday night, after
run down the coast from Boston which
breaks all records. The Kentucky is
the most powerful battleship in the
navy, and her cruise down the coast has
demonstrated that she is also the fast
est. Although she was designed for a
l5-knot ship, the board of inspectors is
of the opinion that she is capable of go
ing to record as l7-knot ship
The usual cruising speed of such
ships as the Brooklyn is II to ID knots
an hour under natural draught, and
battleships like the Iowa and Indiana
make only 10 knots under the same con-
dltions. The speed of the Kentucky on
her trial trip averaged 14.93 knots an
hour, which is the highest natural
draught record in the navy. With such
power and speed combined, the Ken
lucky brings great strength to the
American navy. Since so much inter
est is felt in the newly-launched Ken
lucky, and since her trial trip has
proven such valuable acquisition to
the navy, conjecture is busy wondering
in what war OF the future she will make
her history.
