rhe World,s ooal supplv.

Of the 650,000,000 tons Of coal which constitutes the entire worlds supply, one-third is taken from the coal mines of the United States. The British Isles produce 1S,000,000 tons. Germany 124.0Co,0Q0, and the other European na- tions make up, in a few million tons each the rest. Spain contributes 20 000.009 to the sum total, which amount is not sufficient for even home con- sumption. China, though rich in nat ural deposits. mines but little of her coal because of her Hse of primitive methods. It is prephesied that the in- troauetion of British mechanical appli- anees in Chinese fields will send up her coal supply at least p per cent.

Yield of Gold in inc Transraal.

The latest published returns show ing the yield of gold in the Transyaal are said ia London 10 be eminently satisfactory to those persons financial ly interested in the Rand The entire Transvaal yield in Juhe was 467,271 ounces. or 819 ounces better than in the preceding month, the latter return be- ing the previous best on record. So far this year each monthly return since February las been over 100.009 ounces better than the sponding yield iii 1888. In fact ID to date, the 1889 yield is seae 625. coo ounces above the showing the corresponding period iu 1898. Here are the total yields of the Transvaal since 1894 when the records showed 2.024159 ounces. In 1895, 2.277, ,635 ounces. 4S96, 2 PSI. .8S5 ounces; l897 3,034,474 ounces, and 1898, 4,555- eco ounces. London hnaneiers do not deem it possible that this extraordin- ary showing can be maintained throughout the year. owing to the dis turbed political situation and particu larly to the fact that the exodus of labor from the Rand seems to be as suming serious proportions.

THE COLORADO ON A BIG RISE
Great Damage Has Been Done to Crops
and Houses Have Been Washed AWAY.

Austin. Texas. June THE Colorado
river and its tributaries are on ram
page. II has been raining heavily in the
entire section west of here for three days
and the effects OF the downpour began to
manifest themselves here this evening.
There was a seventeen-foot rise in the
Llano river last night. and this morning
cloudburst struck Marble Falls, In Bur-
ne. county, doing much damage and wash
ing away the power house at that point A
twenty-five-foot rise is reported in the
San Saba river and the Perdenales is
swollen to an alarming extent
The rise from this latter river reached
the dam across the Colorado at this point
this afternoon and went over it in a solid
sheet ten feet high. Two OF the four foot
sluice gates in the dam were opened to
relieve the power house and the water
shot through them for distance of fifteen
feet before falling In the river below, Dut
this had no apparent effect upon the tor
rent rushing over the top. Soon the val
ley below the dam was overlooked and
the river rose twenty three feet at the
cltys trenches from which water is taken
to supply the pumping station above the
international and Great Northern bridge
are overlooked. as are also those of the
old water company and the stock pens
across the river had to be abandoned The
ice plant at the foot OF Colorado street
is partially inundated and may have to
close down before morning.
The power house dam is considered In
danger and every precaution is being taken
to protect IT, The Llano rise will get
here before morning and add to the flow
over the dam. and II the San Saba rise is
as big as reported the heaviest Hood on
record in the Colorado may be expected la
the next twenty-four hours.
Crops have been considerably damaged
up the river and many head OF horses and
cattle have been drowned but so far as
known no lives have been lost, Judging
from the drift which is coming down the
river. many houses have been washed
away with their contents. Pieces OF

Macon. Ga, June THE baccalaureate
address delivered TO the law class of Mer-
Ger college today by Judge Emory Speer
was remarkable in the selection of the
question dealt with before such an audi
ence. Judge Speer devoted his entire time
to an enunciaton OF his views on the atti-
tude of the white people OF the South and
especially Of this State, toward the negro
as result OF the commission of many
awful crimes against white women. The
speaker said that the punishment of the
criminal must be kept within the bounds
OF civilization and within the pale OF the
law and the courtc, The contrary course,
he said Is debasing and effective only III
delaying final correction and prevention.
Fudge Speer said Il solemnly assert
before this distinguished audience, with Il
fun knowledge Of the import OF what I say,
that the crimes which have so inflamed
the white people OF this country against
the negro race are foreign 10 these people,
