The second week of the great coal strike.
which has practically tied up the whole
anthracite coal region. began yesterday in
way which was very disappointing to
the Coal Trust. 1t had been expected that
the presence of troops at various places
where it was intended to resume opera
tons, would encourage miners unfavor-
able to the strike to return to work, being
assured of military protection But. when
the whistles blew. no miners appeared. On
the contrary. several thousand who had
hesitated about going out, promptly did so
in consequence of the employment of troops
by the trust magnates.
There are some indications that the trust
has some sort of coup in reserve which. it
is thought. may be sprung today or tomor-
row. The increasing lawlessness of the
toughs whom the Coal Trust has camped
at all the mines as guards, is a source
of much uneasiness. These men>act in a
manner to create the public opinion that
they are hired more with view to thelf
ability to incite a riot than for any pur-
pose of protection to property. Much fear
is felt that these imported thugs may pre-
cipitate a crisis by coming to blows with
the excitable foreign element. and in that
case there is but too much reason to look
for slaughter. of the Lattimer sort, only
on a larger scale.
In the mean time it is plainly evident
that the strike is causing the greatest
alarm among the Republican campaign
managers They have already heard terri
flying reports from all parts of the country,
telling OF the painful extent to which the
situation in Pennsylvania is pushing the
trust issue to the fore. Mr.. Hanna Is ugly.
and swapping and snar1ing over IT, sub
ject-pretty good evidence that he is hard
hit. In truth, the spectacle of the Coal
Trust, as It grinds the toller down to a
wage which will only half feed him. and
meets his reasonable and just demand for
redress with. columns of Pinkerton
men armed with Winchesters, and with
regiments and brigades of soldiers. is one
peculiarly adapted to the education of the
masses. II forcibly suggests the conditions
that shortly must obtain wherever any of
the trusts are in operation should they
succeed in landing their man in the White
House for another four years of trust
monopoly and loot.

HIS GALLANTRY REWARDED.
Navy Department Gives n Medal of
Honor to u Coxswain.

A medal OF honor has been awarded by
the Navy Department to Coxswain VIII
liam G. Thordsen. of the little gunboat
Pampagga, for bravery in action on shore
at Hilongas, Island of Leyte, one of the
Philippines group. last May Thordsen,
with a detail from the gunboat and Colt
automatic gun. took part in an attack on
the insurgents at Hilonsas, who were pro-
tected by a church. Thordsen, on a hillock
not 15e yards from the church. and exposed
to the insurgent fire, coolly signaled the
gunboat to shell the building. He after
ward joined in the charge, and on three
different occasions in close fighting around
the church voluntarily led the column in
cases of extreme danger. Major Andrews,
Forty-third Infantry, who commanded the
expedition. after reporting the incident
says of Thordsen:
His spirit was superb, and he is a
fine example of the stuff OF which the
American soldier is made. that enables
them to go into such he'll holes az they
did that day and by their very dauntIess
dash and valor counterbalance all odds in
men and Notifications while they so
stampeded this cowardly. souless enemy
as to render their fire action practically
worthless. and enables US to win these
almost bloodless victories"
Lieutenant Payne. commanding the
Pampagga, commends Thordsen's conduct
as deserving a medal of honor, especially
as the duties of the latter did rot require
him to volunteer to enter places when it
was necessary to call for volunteers to
go, but this he did three times"

Circulation Statement.
Our Chinese Diplomacy.

Encouraged by the detection of the
United States from the concert of the
powers. and believing that there is no
longer a chance for them to agree upon
a common policy and programme in
China. the Empress Dowager has brazea-
ly thrown down the gauntlet of defiance
to civilization She has appointed Prince
Tuan to the pest of Grand Secretary to
the Emperor, an office equivalent to that
of imperial chancellor in Germany. with
the important difference that in the case
of Tusn. he is made the sole med um of
communication with the throne, and in
effect is vested with all the powers of
government.
That TIE Hsi should fling such an insult
in the face of Germany. wtase Minister
she and Tuan caused to be murdered and
at the United States and ether nations,
whose legations they ordered to he bonn
barded, and whose representatives they
tried for two months to massacre, is
ample evidence that the imperial Govern
ment de faeto is by no means humb'ed b.
defeat and the occupation Of Pekin. but s
as intractable and ready to fight as ever.
1t may as well be understood that in
taking the serious step of breaking the
concord Of the powers. and playing the
Russo Chinese game in the recognition
of TIE Hsis and Tuan's enjoys, the
United States is recognizing and treating
with the usurping Government. which is
responsible for all the outrages and afro
cities in China for the past four months.
Mr. Mckinley is nobIy determined that
the miscreants composing that Govern
ment snail be punished with the utmost
severity; but only as result of neg1-
tiatidts with the persons to be punished.
and their agreement to submit them
selves for execution or Imprisonment.
Such things may be possible in the world
Of comic opera. but in actual life they are
not so; they are only ridiculous.
No wonder the European press is sur
prised and indignant! 1t was not nice
thing for Mr.. Mckinley to pledge him
self to stand by the other invading pow
ers. and then to give them the slip as be
did in joining with Russia in a scheme 1
of evacuation of which no notice was

faced his country in China. The other
powers are contemptuously sorry fer
this. because our- appearance there in
conjunction with the great States of Eu-
rope was our FIRST attempt to pose as a
world power. The Old Worlds back is
turned upon Us, and the Chinese situa-
ton will be attended 10 by Great Britain,
Germany, Russia, and japan, with
out the slightest reference to Us. and
without concern as 10 what we may think
and do, or not do. America has been
made the laughing stock of he earth.
It does not much matter now whether Xr.
Mckinley negotiates with or apologies
10 the Empress Dowager and TITAN.
American prestige is lost in the eyes of
China on one side. and in those Of the
powers on the other.

One view of Christian Science

Some people are inclined to think that
the opposition which physicians in gen.
eral are showing TO the doctrines OF
Christian Science is matter of profess
sionaI jealousy. the natural distrust shown
by scientists Of recognized and author
lied school toward outsiders. But there is
more in it than that. There is a good,
sound. solid reason why the regular ply
stefan should not approve of this doctrine.
If anyone wishes to learn this reason,
all he has to do is to ask the neares. ply
sieian, and he will probably disclose it,
with elaborate engagements. The medical
profession as a whole is rather emphatic
in its opinion of this empiricism.
II must be remembered that Christian
Science is as yet not firmly established
doctrine. and that many people only half
believe IT. Their belief is In the expert

President made his first political speech

The strenuous Life.

Governor Roosevelt has had great deal
. to say about the strenuous life" since
he began speechmalzing about the Spanish
American war, and his idea of that life,
so far as can be ascertained, is some
think like that of the Irishman who sent
his little girl to see what was the cause
Of a disturbance on the street corner
because, il it was row, father would
like 10 be in it" The American people
have had fair chance TO see whether or
not they wish 10 accept that ideal. Roose-
welt himself is faithful to it. He has
been in hot water ever since he entered
public life.
Anyone who thinks that the people OF
this country are fond of combat for its
own sake will find himself in error. The
average American, while be is more than
willing to fight when there is occasion,
would rather fight for peace than any
thing else. He is afraid OF no man. but
he likes to be let alone He realizes that
in developing the material resources of
this big country and making IL the most
prosperous. comfortable. fertile, and beau
tiful land on earth he has a big job on

powers OF mind and body. and very pos

needed by the soldier. The engineer of a
railroad runs the risk of death far more

women have sometimes gone on following
this advice until the misery grew unbear-
able, when they have sent for a physician
to undo the damage caused by injudicious
exercise and total neglect
Whatever the layman may think about
1t, the average doctor does not rejoice IN
bad case. 1t makes him cross. He does
not care to sit up all night fighting dis
ease which might have been checked by
little precaution at the start. He objects
to having children die on his hands when
he could have saved them if he had taken
the case in time. He objects to all this
not only on account of his professional rep
utation. but because he has the ordinary
feelings of humanity and it is his business
to make people well and keep them so. not
to sign death certificates when he has had
no fair chance to save the patient. The
strictness with which the physician insists
on quarantining diphtheria and scarlet fe
yer might easily suggest to the average
mind that he is not anxious for the spread
of these epidemics. When he finds that,
owing to the serene neglect of some Chris
tian Scientist. all the children in school
have been exposed to them. he is apt to
use scientific and highly picturesque Ian

For institutions which, according to

appear singularly able to convey the i'm
preston that they not only live, but move
snd have their being. Recently the Gen

plants in the town of Grant, near Chicago.
and straightway began to close them
down. They have been now permanently
abandoned and the working people of the
place are all thrown out of employment.
Stores, boarding houses, and all the viii
