NEW YORK, Aug. S1.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:

taken on it till the text had been de-

sidered by him.
Mr.. Broderick's references to the Chi
nese question in his speech Of Wednes-
day have made some impression, chiefly
because the under secretary Of foreign
affairs is one Of the very few ministers
who Is not now on a holiday and also
because he Is believed to share Lord
Salisbury's confidence. Mr.. BrOdericks
words, however, were extremely vague
and only repeated that Great Britain Is
not inclined to be forced into accepting
the large responsibilities In China while
lat the same time her majesty's govern
ment Is determined to defend British
interests. Not much can be made out
Of this though no doubt 1t accurately
reflects the non-committal attitude Of
the British cabinet. 1t must be remem-
bered that Mr.. Broderick's speech was

TOAD STOOLS CAUSED
JOE TURKON'S DEATH
Throop Miner Dies as Result of Eat
ing Poisonous Fungi, Believing
Them to Be Mushrooms.

Joseph Turkon of Throop an en-
nloyc of the Pancoast Coal company
died Monday night and his death is
supposed to be the result of his having
eaten several of those deadly fungi,
toadstools, while under the belief that
they were mushrooms. Turkon with
his family lives in what is known as
the Red Row, the companys tene-
ment houses.
Monday afternoon his wife went into
the fields near the house and picked
large number Of mushrooms, which
grow plentifully thereabouts. To-
gether with these she must have gath
cred several toadstools, for after the
evening meal, Turkin, his wife and
two of thei" children became violently
i'll.
DR.. Jacobs WdS summoned and Mrs.
Turlson and the children were relieved
and soon felt no i'll effects from the
meal. Turkon however, grew speedily
more and more sick, and about 10
o'clock died.
Coroner Roberts yesterday per-
formed an autopsy on the remains of
Turkon, and will to-day examine tn,
contents Of his stomach to ascertain
the actual causes Of the mans death.
He has not yet decided whether he
will hold an inquest. Turkon was 10
years of age and is survived by a wife
and large family.

where he went to vote. In discussing
the census. he said
"The large figures shown by the re-
cent census of this country are big
and pleasant surprise to me. None Of
us at the bureau had expected a larger
total than T5,OOO.000. but. much to our
surprise and qualification. it has eX-
ceeded that number by more than L.
200, 900.
I'VE reckoned that the decreased
immigration for the last decade must
work a decrease in the percentage Of
gain for the decade, as compared with
the decade preceding. Between 1850
and 1890 a vast immigration flowed
into our country. The tide was much
diminished, 1t was supposed, during
the last ten years.
Congress, when it meets in De-
cembe.. will have the results to hand
upon which to bass the new appor-
tionmcn. of seats in the lower house.
The whole result will not be pub.
lished until January. and indeed I
see ii good years worl: before us.
"The numbe. of farms in the United
States proves to be about 5.SO0.06o.
When complete the census will show
facts about each farm.
I'm 1890 there We're some $4,000
manufacturing institutions in the
United States. Now, iE round NUM-
bers. there are about 100000. The in
crease in the number of plants will
be shown to be very great in the
west. The south also has added to
its manufactures. Whether the in
crease in the west and south is adj
ditiOnal to Or at the expense of the
manufactures of the east. 7 do not

| The Mt Pleasant Coal company Is
| now affiliated with the coal depart
mert of the Ontario and Western. The
negotiations which have been on for
some weeks are now consummatel
and another valuable collicry has been
added to the list OF those sending their
coal over that road.
1t was only u few years ago the
Ontario and Western began reaching
out for coal carrying business, but
1t went al work with vim and to-
day Is doing very considerable
share of this trade. 1t takes the total
tonnage from twelve of the best col-
lieries Of the valley and a goodly
part of the output of two other mines.
The collieries which contribute their
total tonnage to the Ontario and
Western, and which are practically
controlled by 1t are the Pine Brook,
Capouse and Mt Pleasant, West Ridge
and Clark Tunnel, of Scranton; Red
mond No. s. at the northern extremity
Of the city; the old Jermyn No. 4 OF

burg: the Ontario and Blue Ridge, at
Blakely: the Riverside and Raymond
at Peckville, and the Richmond No. t.
at Richmondale The Northwest col
liery of the Temple Iron company, and
the Mt. Jessup colliery of the Mt.
Jessup Coal company also deliver to
it large portion of their output. 1t
is estimated that the company now
handles over 20O0,000 tons a year Of
the Goa! mined in Lcckawannn valley.
AT MT. PLEASANT.
The Mt. Pleasant will continue to
be operated nOminally by the Mt.
Pleasant Coal company, but cventu-
ally may be grated with the CapOuse
and Pine Brook in the Scranton Coal
company, which. with the New York
and Scranton Coal company and tn.
Fix Hill Coal and Iron company, con-
stitute the mining department Of the
Ontario and Western.
Three large washeres will also soon
contribute their product to the Ontario
and Western. These are the MT
Pleasant, just completed; the Capouse.
which is nearing completion, and the
Carbon, which has been in operation
for some time and shipping on the
Ontario and Western.
At present the Mt. Pleasant product
goes over the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western road, but arrangements
will be made at once to transfer it's
shipments to the Ontario and Western
but just how this will be done is not
yet known. The Mt. Pleasant COM
pany, some time ago, wanted to divert
2 part of it's shipments to the Ontario
and Western, but was estopped by an
injunction issued at the instance Of
the Delaware. I.ackaWanna and West

veyOrs from it's breaker across the
I.ackawanna's tracks to the feed on
the easterly side, where it was intended
to erect pockets from which cars
brought up on a branch Of the On
tario and Western could be filled. An
appeal was taken from the injunction
order and it is pending in the su-
preme court.
