COAL OUTPUT IN 1898.
Increase of Ten Per Cent Over Pro-
duct of Previous Year.

Edward w. Parker, the statistician of the
geological survey, has completed the sta
tistics of the production of coal in this
country during the year 1893. The total
production of all kinds reached 21a S35, 1913
short tons, an increase of 10 per cent over
the output of 1897, which was larger than
any known year before. Great Rritain's
product last year was 226, 2S7 3D. short tons,
a small decrease from the previous year
Practically all of the increase in production
in the United States was in bituminous
coal, the output of anthracite coal in 1898
being 47,5l5543 long tons, an increase of
only little over 100000 tons over 1897. OF
this increase, 100000 tons were in the
amount of coal consumed at the collieries
items elves, so the total increase in the
amount of coal actually marketed was only
10000 tons. There was a decrease in the
selling value of anthracite coal of IS, S72, 600.

Insurgents Cannot stand Charges.

The War Department has made public
a report from General Irving Hale, who
commanded the ID Brigade, I'd Division of
the Sth Army Corps, at Manila upon the
stirring events between the nights of Feb
ruary and there. The first opportunity
that the United States troops had to test
the real quality of the insurgents appears
to have been at the attacks on the block
houses near Sampaloc cemetery. Here,
says General Hale the LIST Colorado Regi-
ment made "A charge in fine style, rushing
and hating alternately in case the enemy'S
fire became too strong. When half way
to the block house the insurgents broke
from the earthworks, bushes and houses
in surprising numbers, and ran for the
hills, the Americans picking them off as
they ran. Thirty-five were gathered up in
the immediate vicinity, twenty-four dead
and eleven wounded This movement broke
the insurgent center, and showed that they
could not stand charge. Therefore the
tactics were repeated and other charges
We're made by other regiments of the COM
mand with like gallantry and success, the
Tennessee and South Dakota troops being
commended among others.

Origin of the University.

The Columbian University originated with
the Rev. Luther Rice, who, in 1919 with a
number of associates, paid 5000 for a
tract of land 4G12 acres adjoining the city
of Washington, with the understanding
that it should be held for an educational
establishment. John Quincy Adams, John C.
Calhoun, thirty-tWO members of Congress
and leading citizens of Washington, were
among the contributors to this fund. A char
ter was procured from Congress in Febru-
airy, 1871, during the presidency of James
Monroe, erecting the Columbian College in
the District of Columbia" The construction
of a college building had been commenced in
1890, and it was completed in 1922 at a
cost of $35, coo. DIR. Staughton, a native of
England and an eminent pulpit orator was
the first president of the institution. Agents
We're sent to Europe, and among the con-
tributOrs to the founding of the college
We're several Englishmen prominent in poll
tics and literature, including the chancellor
tosh. the historian. The cooperation CT
military and naval officers of the United
States and of other influential men
was obtained, and the university" range
of its proposed studies was emphasized at
the beginning of the enterprise.
December Is, 1924, the first commence
ment of the college was held, and was at
tended by the President and members of
both houses of Congress and General La
fayette, formal address of welcome being
made to General Lafayette by the presi
dent of the college. Upon the conclusion of
the exercises General Lafayette and his
suite. Secretary John Quincy Adams, Sec
rotary John G. Calhoun, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Henry Clay, and
other distinguished citizens dined with the
faculty and board of trustees at the house
of President Staughton.

at 1 O'Clock Wednesday evening. They will
enter by the main entrance to Convention
Hall and proceed to the lobby of the
armory adjacent, where the procession will

TWO large platforms erected one is ON the
west side of the hall for the president and
faculties, and one on the east side for can

across the hall to receive their diplomas
and then march back to their places on the
Platform. Places will be designated for
each class on the candidates platform,
where their friends may leave flowers and
other presents, to be distributed by the
class marshal after the exercises are over
