DRAWING ON AMERICA.
Europe, Unable to Buy English Coal,
Seeks the American Product.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Coal men In this
city said to-day that there was an active
demand in Europe for American coal, as
England is outstanding her supply. Home
consumption is also increasing and Cuba Is
tuying many tons of coal.
A variety of causes, the coal men say,
have led to this foreign demand, chief Of
which is the Transvaal wal. France, Ger
many, Belgium, Italy and other continental
nations ~habitually draw heavily upon En-
gland for coal. But Great Britain has
special needs of her own just now and is
outstanding her fuel so that the continent
tai nations have p~erforce to turn to the
United States.
I'm view of complications with European
powers who might attempt to TAX advan-
tage of her difficulties in South Africa to
menace or attack her." said a member of
one OF the largest coal concerns in this
country, discussing the situation to-day,
Great Britain is amassing an enormous
reserve Of coal In the British isles. She is
also adding constantly to her immense
stores at her coaling stations scattered all
over the world"
Many inquiries are being received by
agents here from Europe and even Eng
land, but there is a reluctance upon the
part of American firms to make contracts,
or even to quote prices before April 1. as
owing to the great number of vessels
drawn from the mercantile marine by the
British government it is feared there will
be an advance in freight rates.

MORRISTOWN. Ind. Feb. 16.-An organ-

at ~Gwynneville. a small village three miles
east of here. There are not over two hun
dred persons in the place, but according
to the confession of two boys the gang
was composed Of sixteen boys and men
ranging in age from fourteen to twenty
five years. A few days ago Harry Wilson
and another boy named Anderson were ar
rested on the charge of having robbed the
store in which the postoffice is located.
They broke down and confessed that they
were members of a gang and that the older
ones had advanced them money to do this.

eral arrests have been made and more are
expected in the immediate future.
Several residences were entered at differ

IN THE SOUTH.
Addresses by Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett
and George H.. White.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Four hundred per-
sons gathered in the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church tonight to listen TO
speakers on the subject of the lynching of
the negro. The meeting was under the
auspices of the American African Council
of New York. Bishop A. Walter presided.
The platform was filled with colored cler-
gymen.
Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett. chairman of the
Anticipating Bureau of the council.
spoke for more than an hour on the expe-
riences she had in working up the public
sentiment to a point where the council
could be organized. I'm England"
she said, II was we'll received.
There they paid all expenses of
hiring halls. printing pamphlets and
paying car fare and hotel bills. Here 1
found that 1 was well received, but that
my work did not last. It's difficult TO make
the colored people realize that a blow at
one colored man is a blew at the whole
race. There are $50 lynchings a year. No.
Is per cent. of them is really for the crime
that has become knowd. fa,sels. as the
crime of the negro-as sau-t en- white wom-
en-. AS many negroes have been lynche 1
in the South for lei 1g saucy 10 white men
as for assaults m women. There Us a law
in the South against carrying concealed
weapons. White men carry them with i'm
punity, but If a negro is caught w.t. a gun
he is fined so and put In The chain gang
for sixty days.
Congressman George H. White. OF North
Carolina, followed. He said: ~ ave a
bill that / hope will be introduced in Con-
gress that will make lynching treason
against the State. 1t is my hope that such
a measure can be carried through and that
lynching will become a thing of the past.
At 10 time in the history of the Nation"
he said, has the race prejudice been so
strong. From January, 1898, to March, 1893.
there were 156 negroes lynched in the
South. OF these seventeen were charged
with the outrage of white women. This is
a very small proportion of the whole, and
even of these there Is very little proof that
the charge was true. There Were confess
sions, it is true, but you and l would con-
fess with the rope around our necks II we
thought a confession would save our lives.
1t is time for us to do something in our
own defense. 1t is time for the Nation to
take hold and see that every individuals
life Is safe until the law takes its course.
No court in the land would convict a man
on his unsupported confession. Why, then,
should a mob have that power and receive
in its action the appreciation of the public"

CRIMINAL
Attitude of the Clay City People to
the Smallpox Epidemic.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CLAY CITY, nd, Feb. 16.-New cases
of smallpox are of almost daily occurrence
in this vicinity, owing largely to indiffer-
ence TO the disease. This Indifference Is
partly accounted for in the fact that only
one death has occurred and in the addi-
tional fact hat some professional men and
many of the nonprofessional stoutly MAIN
tain that it is not smallpox and not dan
gerous. Several families, released after
about two weeks quarantine. have been
q~uarantined a second time owing to other
members of the family having contracted
the disease. Cases have existed in some
families for days before being reported to
the health officer, the father of one of
these families going to n from his home
and attending to business down town as
usual.
One young man.. sent home on the 18th
of January. all broken out with the dis
ease, was at work in his shop, as usual,
on the 9th.
Last Saturday a man thickly broken
out stood in the postoffice lobby, along with
fifty or more persons.
The persons q~uaraEtined at G.. j. Kay
sor's continue to drink from a dipper
chained to a pump at the sidewalk for the
accommodation of the public.
A young man named Drummond was rum
ming about the streets last week, thickly
broken out. and had to be forced to go
home and the house carded.
There are many other cases like those
mentioned.
w. T. Damer, quarantined for twenty
one days, and sick throughout the period,
was released on the 14th inst. He was lit
eraly covered with the eruptions. For
many lays Mr.. Damer could not stand
Many cases like his could be cited.
1t is reported that between twenty-five
and thirty houses in the township, outside
of Clay City. are carded, and somewhat
fewer i'm town, which shows a large de-
crease for the town. The township schools.
including MIddlebury, a mile away, re-
opened on the 18th inst. There were three
new cases liz Middlebury the first of the
week. but the disease is being rapidly
checked there.

ton by ballot, he declared. was a combina-
ton of press-gang and roulette, which was
a very undigniied way of increasing the
strength which Great Britain had mort
gagged in her endeavor to be before her
~neighbors i'm every part of the world. She
is now. he concluded, reaping the fruits OF
this policy.
The government leader, Mr.. Balfour, re-
piled that no amount OF effort could make
Lord Salisbury's speech appear to favor
CONSUMPTION. Another speaker in the House
of Lords, he asserted, had referred TO
compulsory service. but he was a former
colleague Of Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man. Mr.. Balfour, continuing, said he
would gladly welcome some practical sug-
gestion. but had waited vainly for Sir Hen
~ to suggest a method of meeting the
heavy military responsibilities. The speak
er congratulated Sir Henry on escaping
the fault which had not been avoided by
some important people in the other house.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman had
showed no panic and had not, in tones OF
trembling emotion. told them the country
was endangered unless il mobolized the
fleet. He had taken a saner view OF the
position. Doubtless there was one great
and unexpected difficulty which the govern
ment would endeavor to retrieve as rapidly
as possible. but the position did not justify
tones of panic, least of all from the noble
lord, who had and deserved TO have the
right to lead public opinion.
