ANOTHER PURCHASE
BY the Virginia Iron, Coal and
Coke Company.

RoAyoKE, Va, June l7.-(Special) -
The irgmia Iron. Coal and Coke Company,
ofwhich George J.. Carter, of Pulaski, i,
president, seems determined to get control
of all the iron interests in the Southwest,
and to that end has recently added anoth-
er purchase to its already long list, that
consisting of the Big Stony Mining Com
pany, located at Interior, Va. and the
Big stony railroad, which runs from lnte-
rior 10 Ripplemaed, a station on the Nor
folk and Western road. between Blueteld
and BadtOrd. This purchase of the min
ing company's interest was made outright.
while only the controlling stock was secur-
ed so tar a. the road is concerned. The
railroad is eleven miles in length, with a
probability that il may be extended fur
thcr, so as TO connect with the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway. The distance to be
trayerscd for ,uth connection Is about
forty miles, and the mineral deposits
along the proposed route are exceedingly
valuable, while the virgin forests covering
the country through which it would pass
Hould prove OF untold value. The Big
stony railroad, which was constructed in
1893 -. viii be used by the Porteihrld
Lumber Company. which has recently pur-
chased the lumber on the tract OF the
Fountain Lake Land Company. There is
now but liilc iron property in Southwest
Virginia or East Tennessee that is not
owned or controlled by the Carter syndi-
cate.

plaintiff was not entitled to recover.
The Court of Appeals aflirms the de-
cision. The court is of opinion that
there was nothing to show that the
company had not acted in good faith
when instructing its agent to hold
the policies, or that it delayed in IN
vest eating reports that a material
statement made by Oliver in his ap
plication was untrue. There was an
express agreement in divers appli-
cation that the policies should not
take effect until the first premium
had been paid This had not been
paid at the time Of divers death.
The decision OF the lower court is
affirmed. The opinion in the case is
written by Judge Cantwcll.-Rich

everything and are particularly fond

money OF small denominations, and
preparations were being made to send
more paper in the next shipment,
when a warning was given that here
after nothing but gold and silver coin
must be sent to the islands.
1t was stated that ants got into
the boxes and attacked the packages
OF bills, which were saved from des.
truction only by the greatest care.
As far as officials here know, none of
the money was actually destroyed,
the damage done being probably no
more serious than the eating away of
the edges OF notes or perhaps making
holes through some of them.

Losses Not Reported,

Ex-Ambassador Eustis, who ably
represented this country in France
under the Cleveland administration
and who is now resident of New
York City contributes to the New
York Post Sententious article about
the concealment of the facts as to
our losses in the Philippines. He
says:
Is the number of our brave soldiers
in the hospitals in the Philippines so
insignificant that it is not worthy of
special notice? Or is it SO large that
the war department does not dare to
publish it on account of the impend-
ing election in Ohio? A week ago
dispatch was published from Manila
that 500 soldiers were transported by
the hospital ship on account of pros
tration by the heat. A few days
later another dispatch announced that
Az per cent. of an expeditionary force
had Succumbed to prostration by heat.
You published yesterday some very
definite information from an unques-
tionable source which was that the
First Nebraska regiment, out of 900
men. had only 800 fit for duty; that
the Fifty-frst Iowa regiment had
more than 80 per cent. of men unfit
for duty; this makes very large.
average percentage of men unfit for
duty; and if they are sick in the
hospitals, it is justification of one
of the many powerful arguments
which were used by the anti-impeyial-
lists against this criminal blunder of
the administration.
| was IN Paris when the French
government sent its expeditionary
