Huntington, Ind. They have grown up
there and have made populous district,
but there has always been a strong chord
from which they moved. This has been
strengthened each year by visits back and
forth by the present and former residents,
resulting in large excursions on the rail-
roads. Last year the excursioEists and the
visitors went west TO Indiana, and this year
the visit is to be returned. The Erie has

LONDON, Sept. IS, $3.50 a. m.-Only
through the Associated Press advices from
New York. published in this mornings pa
pers, does the British public learn that the
United States and Great Britain are once
again ranged together in opposition to the
continental powers Apparently such a
grouping was entirely unexpected in both
Berlin and London, and until an official
statement is made comment will be with
held. The Daily Chronicle, however. de-
votes a brief editorial paragraph to the
announcement, expressing a hope that it
is erroneous. and declaring that ''the only
way in which England can reap the fruit of
her exertions in China is by standing Shout
der to shoulder with Germany and Japan,
the only effective counterpoise to Rus
so-French Vaccinations and the weak
kneed policy of America
The Times, in an editorial on China's nom
repentant mood, refers to Great Britain
reply in the same tone as the Daily Chron-
icle and says: THE country would be both
astonished and shocked If our government
did not warmly support the German pro-
posal. 1t is simply inconceivable that the
British, of all governments, should refuse
TO accede to the proposal at once. so Iea-
sonable and just
Times Berlin correspondent to the effect
that the German note consisted of two
well-defned parts, the first containing the
view OF the German government that the
criminals ought to be surrendered before
negotiations were begun and the second
setting forth the proposal that China
should invite the foreign ministers in Pc
king to designate those whom they regard
as the ringleaders. The correspondent says
that Russia and Japan are understood to
dissent from the first part of the note. and
that the United States government con-
fused the two portions. He adds that 'it
appears to be admitted that Germany will
not insist on pressing her view at present"
The editorial concludes with an express
sion of confidence that the British people
will both indorse the view and support the
proposal. 1t suggests, however, that il is
quite conceivable that Lord Salisbury may
not care to go further for the moment than
Germany herself now considers sufficient"

During the past few months thousands
of square miles of coal lands have been
purchased by the agents of railroads. Not
only the Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt sys-
TENS have been purchasers, but II is an
nounced that more than 5000 acres OF the
best coal lands have been purchased by
the representatives of some of the Western
roads. For over two years some large
syndicates had been taking up all the coal
that could be purchased and paying cash
TO the land owners. The railroads became
alarmed. owing to the fact that they must
have cheap fuel, and the monopolization OF
the coal was TO them a premonition of
coming squeeze that would place them in
position of great disadvantage. The Penn
sylvania and the Vanderbilt lines are now
supplying nearly all the great trunk lines
East and West of the bituminous fuel from
the Pittsburg and West Virginia territory
Some alarm has been felt by the railway
managers over the way the coal was being
bought up by the syndicates. 1t was be-
lieved that their object was to hold the
coal lands for years on speculation, know
ing that the time was coming when they
could monopolize the situation and either
refuse TO touch q pound of the fuel or de-
mand exorbitant prices.

THE POOL in OPERATION
THE THIRD TIME SUCH AN AGREE
MEsT HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO.
Western Companies Purchasing Coal
LanGs-A Road Forty Years in
Building 10 he Completed.

The pool formed by the presidents last
week is the third that has been organized
BY the railroads for control of the lake
and rail grain. The first was under the
control of Edward AMMAN and lasted for
possibly two years as a practical PROPOSE
ton. The second was in charge OF COM
mittee of trunk lines managers, who APP
pointed William III. Smith as executive Of
ficer. This went into operation in May,
1898. and had a comparatively small amount
OF success. The current pool. however,
will. it is believed. prove much more per-
manently successful. for the reason that
it has one executive head, and he is clothed
with absolute power to compel strict COM
pliance by all railroads. As the active
shipping season is now at hand and the
new crop will be coming forward in gradu-
ally increasing volume, the new pool is
naturally a matter of much Importance TO
the New York grain trade, and much
interest will be taken in Mr.. Harriots
attitude as to maintenance Of rates. III,
for instance, Baltimore and Virginia ports
make severe cuts, the New FORK trade will
undoubtedly look to Mr.. Harriet TO make
corresponding concessions. 1t will readily
be recalled that the fact that in six weeks
so lake navigation will be suspended
for the season does not mean that the pool
is formed for six weeks only. 1t means
that the pool will virtually be operative
from season TO season, for the practice
is for the grain to come from the West by
lake and be stored at Buffalo and then
TO be taken to New York by rail as the
export and local demands require
