Kitchener in South Africa.

General Butler is to return to England, and Lord Roberts, who has been appointed com mander-in-chief of the army, will soon fol- low him, leaving, it is said, General Kitch- ener in command of South Africa. The last named will doubtless be promoted to a rank beyond that of any other officer left in the two annexed Boer colonies.
 Such a change means that train wreckers and rowing bands of irreconciible Boers will be severely dealt with; for Kitchener is a man of iron, as merciess as the Kaiser, although less sentimental or lmpulsve. He steadily believes in General Shermans definition of war. No measures of concilia- tion will be put into execution by him when hostile bands are taken with arms in their hands. He will show no mercy He did not in Egypt, and he will not in South Africa. When the ministry put him in supreme command they adopted policy that is akin to barbarism, for he will take few or no prisoners.
 Whether such a policy will bring peace in South Africa is indeed doubtful The Boers are as stubborn as they are brave. They love independence, and they believe they have been wronged and despoiled. They will sulk at least and they may render life miserable and uncertain to the incoming Uitlander. The Kitchener policy may be the only practicable policy. but If it be then indeed the prospect of real peace and hap piness in South Africa is very distant. Men who sulk are not good neighbors, and they will join any movement that promises even temporary and partial revenge, such as train wreeking and the like.

When NJ. Delcasse proposes equitable in- demnties to states, societies and individ- uals," he leaves room for territorial ag- grandizement. No one can say what Russia and France will consider equitable. or es- peciany what Germany will demand. Their demands of indemnities may be pitched in d territorial key.
 The French note is absolutely silent as to "the open door" Here again is a diff ficulty and the only hope for a reasonable outcome consists in the solidarity of the United States, Great Britain and Japan, both in respect of the integrity of the Chi nese Empire and also in respect of "the open door" Japan's position is not well de- fined It is subject to change. If Germany, Russia and France seize strips of territory, Japan will be inclined to do likewise. Alto gether the United States and Great Britain are not out of the woods.

HOUND TO COME TO ALABAMA

fTOHl the hoDlie teBiSlef
 Birmingham, Ala. narrowly es-

 Works, and this is how it happened. Pat

 Rogers idea of what a community should

 and therefore entered into negotiations with an iron concern of Birmingham look
 ing to the establishment of his locomotive
 works in Birmingham. All Paterson be- came aroused by the prospect of losing so
 large and valuable an industry, and capi-
 talists of that city and of New York have
 prevailed upon MT. Rogers to reconsider
 his action So great was the interest taken
 that katz Brothers, the big brewers of
 Paterson. purposed to buy the works out
 right and run them, rather than allow
 their removal, and they wrote to Rogers to that effect. We may add to the story that this Is but a temporary deprivation, so far as Birmingham and Alabama are concerned. The manufacturers of loeomo- tives and all kinds of machinery must come in time to the place where iron, steel and fuel are in largest and cheapest quantity, force them to recognize, as MT. Rogers has done, that there are advantages in Alabama, and that it will not pay to con
 tinue in New Jersey or at distance from the supply center the making of locomo- tives, or any other machines requiring
 much iron and steel in their composition. We look to see in time at Birmingham
 or some place in the mineral district the
 largest manufacturing plants in the coun- try. There is already at Ensley one of the largest steel making concerns, and it is operated with success. The multiplied tion of furnaces continues; the output of coal and iron is beyond any precedent; Birmingham will control the sprice if it does not already do so and every thing is coming to Alabama, lomocotiye works included

Mark Hanna and the Coal Strike.


 Politics won in the great coal strike in the hard coal district of Pennsylvania. Only marine would believe that the coal syndicate and the heavy interests outside of it would have. unanimously accepted all the terms of the miners including a recog- milton of their union, if a Presidential elec- ton had not been impending and close at hand, with dangers of bloodshed and disor der becoming more and more serious as the day of ballots drew near. Mark Hanna and his Republican machine dictated a set tement, and as a settlement meant clean surrender the miners win complete and well-rounded out victory. and President Mitchell becomes a national figure.
 Not only were the coal carrying railroads were compelled to abate their charges for carrying coal for the individual operators, else the latter would not agree to accept the terms of the miners. This fact alone shows that politics dictated the settlement and alone made it possible.
 The lesson of recent strikes involves the use of politics hereafter in such enter prlses Very likely the present settlement will accentuate this lesson: but all politi- cians of national size know, or think they know, that the Homestead strike of 1892 defeated Harrison's -re-election In that case battle was fought on and in the Aleghaney river, and the oppression and tyranny of the Carnegie concern left a deep impression on the popular mind, and that impression was coined into ballots in the following November. In that case Carnegie won, but the Republicans were beaten later on.
 President Mitchell has gathered the fruits of Homesteal and its political re- suits He has, it is true, conducted the hard coal strike through five stubborn weeks with skill and masterly force. He has kept his men from lawless acts, and he has kept them united and determined It Is a historic strike; as were the Pullman and the Homestead strikes, although it has been practically bloodless, and practically orderly. It will lead to the lighting of many fires in the Northeast that are now sadly needed, and Mark Hanna doubtless hopes 1t will save him from disaster in New York and other contested states.

Peace on French Lines.

The recent note of the French goyern- ment, which Is to be the basis of peace me- gotiations, proposes cooperation among the powers on these lines: First, the punish ment of the principal culprits, who will be designated by the representatives of the powers at Pekin second, the maintenance of the prohibition of the import of arms; third equitable indemnties to states, so- cieties and individuals; fourth, the forma- ton of a permanent guard for the Pekn legations; fifth, the dismantlement of the Notifications; sixth, military occupation of two or three points on the road from Tien Tsn to Pekin. which would then be always open to the legations wishing to go to the sea- or to Pel1in from the sec.
 As all the powers have accepted the French note as the basis for negotiations. and as peace negotiations have actually been begun at Pel1in, it is plain the Chinese mudde is in way to be cleared up. Thus far the diplomatic corps in Pekn seems to be harmonious body All want a satisfAc- 2 tory settlement of the trouble, and all will bend their best efforts in that direction.

TOP SHOP oF ENGLAND

From the New York Press.
 Perry made the first steel pens at Br- mingham in 1921. selling them at 90 cents apiece. The weekly output of that city just now is 2O,O00,OOO, and some are sold for cents gross. After pens come pins, iron and steel wire. metallic strings for pianos. One house alone makes eight tons of these a week. Fifty thousand wedding rings are made there every year. All the eanaries in England live in cages made in Brming- ham, and all the bronze money is turned out there, the coinage amounting to 20O0 penny pieces every 24 hours. Twelve tons of pins are manufactured every week. Serewmaking is one of the important in dustries. and that which made MT. Cham berlain a millionaire.

REGISTERED MAIL
Five Bags Stolen at New York Sub
 Station

New York, October IS. = It has become known that five bags of registered mailr enclosed in one large pouch, were stolen from station II, at the. corner of Lexington avenue and East Forty-fourth street, on Monday night last and so far the post of flee inspectors have been unable to locate the thief, although suspicion has fallen upon one man.
 The pouch, which was so heavy that only a strong man could move it, was stolen before it reached the delivery wagon and while it was still at the station.
 The payment on the checks contained in the bag has been stopped. The amount ot cash is not supposed to have exceeded 5000, but the value of the contents of the registered. letters, which were directed b many sparts of the globs, can only be guessed at.

Washington, October 1S-Mr E. B. Bald win, an ambitious explorer of the arctic regions. has secured from the State De- partment passports and letters to consuls at the northeastern points of civilization in Europe and Asia for use in his proposed ex- petition to the north pole next spring.
 MT. Baldwin says it is his intention to carry the American flag as near the north pole as possible, and he hopes to be able to reach a point further north than any other explorer. including those now in the field. His expedition is backed financially by MT. William Zeigler and other capital ists interested in scientific work in New York.

THE BIG FOUR

From the Washington Times.
 David Starr Jordan. president of Stanford University, says: There are four enemies that have stood in the path of man. These are aristocracy, militarism, slavery and im- perialism. There are various other enemies, but those are the four arch enemies in the political sense. They all spring out of the idea that man belongs not to himself, but that he belongs, body and soul. to somebody or something else which owns him. These four enemies, Tn dangerous garb, confront the United States today.
 Schiller says that the tyrants reach hands to each other, that they reach to each other the hands. They stand together now. These four stand together now. Wherever there is one, the other is Aris- tocracy, slavery, militarism. and imperial ism. They reach each others hands,"

ArmOr Compromise.

It is well known, it is said, in naval cir cles that Secretary Long has completed a dicker with the Carnegie and Bethlehem concerns. leaving the Midvale out and aban- doning of course the plan of building gov ernment plant. The inside secret of the set clement is locked inside the thick skin of Mark Hanna, and he will not tell That the contract is based on campaign subserip- tons, is not doubted by any intelligent and unprejudiced person, but like other of Han ra's secrets the exact truth will never be known. But as the contracts to be made will call for about 32,0OO tons of armor, to cost about $15, CO., 900, it is easy to see that Hanna may have gathered in millions from it.
 The agreement between Secretary Long and the Pennsyvania combine will not be officially announced until November has come and gone, and then the story will "out" It is out to all lntents and purposes, but all parties to it will stoutly deny it until election day is passed. The bargain is not a savory one, ard the administration prefers to keep it secret before election.
 The facts are, briefly, these: Tn August the two conspiring and combining com panies offered to make the whole amount of armor needed at S445 ton and $45 d ton royalty, or $4S5 a ton all told. The Midvale offered to furnish the armor needed at Si3S a ion if awarded a contract for 20, 900 tons or more. The Midvale has been ''nego- tiated" out of the business, probably for a considera ton, and now Secretary Long has arranged d bargain with the combine on the basis of about $475 ton, including royalty.
 AS this rate is at least double the cost of production, the combine will make 750O,- coo out of the Long contract, or twice the cost of a government plant Out of this vast profit the combine could well afford to hand over million or two to Senator Mark Hanna, spellbinder and manipulator at large.
