The report that five moro battleships

Russia causes repetition
NOT of the Old and common
THE erroneous S ia I ement
FIRST. that the Russian Ret
Zivan. now nearly fin
ished in Philadelphia, is the first bat
Ileship ever built in fhis country for a
foreign nation. AT the end of the civil
war our shipyards were relatively in as
good position to take foreign orders as
now. and Italy. which was building up
n navy out OF nothing, had two ships
built in New York. These became the
ironclads Re di Italia and r. di Por-
tugaillo which behaved SO badly in the
battle of LISA. Both were rammed by
the Austrfans, the former sunk and
the latter scared into helplessness for
the res. Of the battle.
Sale of ships abroad is no new thing.

The death sentence passed upon the
Chinese officials responsible for the
massacre at Paoting-Fu should have
a good effect. No one denies that
TIKI punishment was richly deserved.
Unna1:abla cruelt!es were parpeircted
upon thu victims. AMI to deal lenieut-
ly with the murGerers in such a case
would be to invite further outrages.
This is t,l.l attitude taken by foreign
ers in China w.-J.ut exception; and
why the ministers at Pskin should have
counselled delay it is hard TO under
stand. Fortunately Count Won Walder-
see has approved the sentence and 1t

the emperor should stay away from

President Grover Cleveland delivered
his second lecture in Alexander hall

dents, members of the faculty, their
families and many others. At 8

rupted by applause, and at its close
the hall rang with cheers of enthusi-
astic students and Others present.
DR.. Patton expressed the thanks of
the university to Mr.. Cleveland for de-
livering the lectures, and surprised the
audience by announcing that Mr..
Cleveland would deliver the Stafford
Little lectures again next year, and

the ex-president would have strength
to deliver them.

and sat beside the venerable Stafford
Little, who was escorted to the hall
by Prof. Wise.

COKE COMPETITION.
A Big New Company Formed tt
Operate in Western Pennsylvania

A Big New Company Formed to
Operate in Western Pennsylvania.
PITTSBURG, Pa, April 10.-The
Commercial Coal and Coke Company,
newly organized, with capital of
$3,000,000, will in short time enter
competition with the. existing coke
companies in this region, with the
largest coke plant in the world. The
company, which is composed almost
entirely of New York capitalists, with
G. L. Root Ca near relative of Sec
rotary of War Root at their head,
have purchased ten thousand acres of
coal land near Brownsville, on the
Monongahela river, adjoining the
American Steel and Wire Companys
recent purchase.
The Intention is to rapidly develop
their coal territory and erect at once
a 1,000-oven coke plant. This plant
will far exceed the famous Mammoth
plant, and will be when finished the
largest single plant in the world. The
Baltimore e Ohio road already taps
the territory, and plans are on foot
by the Pennsylvania road and the
Pittsburg, McKeesport & Youghio-
gheny road to extend it's branches to
the field.
