tendency to talk among Demo
cratic Senators indicates strong
desire OH their part to force test

Philippine resolutions which are
now OF the table, whence they can
be clIed up ut any time, in order
that II may be positively known
whether "a majority OF The Senate

also some talk of the adYisability
of a caucus Of Democrats, both
Senators and Representatives,
shortly after Congress resumes
work. for the purpose of mapping
out party policy on all important
legislation, but there is some
strong opposition to this idea,
from those Democrats who argue
that the Republicans being in full

Report for the Past Year by james
W. Paul. chief of the State Mine
Inspectors

Inspector Paul has just finished
his report of the coal aud coke in
dustry of the State for the year
ending June so, 1899. and there is
a gratifying increase in the pro-
duction in each class. West Vir-
ginia is now second in coke, and is
likely soon to pass Ohio in coal and
become second only TO Pennsyl-
vania. a summary of his report
states:
In point of production OF coal
and coke, men employed, days
worked aud general activity Of the
mining industry of the Strte, the
year just closed exceeds all past
periods of the same length. Quiet
ly, but surely and safely, the State
continues to grow in the produce
ton OF coal and coke. Occupying
the second place as d coke prod ucer
in the United States, and following
third in coal production. with less
thar 100000 to gain to occupy a
place second only to the State of
Pennsylvania, it is II safe predic
ton to venture the assertion that
in less than three years the State
will be the second coal producing
State in the United States.
% For the year ending the State
produced Is, PSI .062 tons of coal OF
2,240 pounds each, and 1858, SOS
tons Of coke. 1000 pounds each.
"For the calendar year 1899, the
present condition warrants the
statement hat the production OF
cool will be 10000, 600 and of coke
2,250,000 tons.
During the past year there were
employed ut the mines and coke
ovens "a, 1856 men. an increase over
last year of | 1856 men. TIE mum
Der of days worked was 24O, an
increase over last year of sixteen
days. In fact, the State is getting
its share of tie industrial activity
so manifest in all parts of the

Concerning the poorer students OF
Russia the Saturday Review says:
Their mendacity Is passive rather than
active. Unlike the mendicant friars.
they never ask, but they know much
will be given Them. They know, too
strange fact in strange country-that
the university is open to all, irrespec-
tive Of means or position. Thus the
university becomes the poor Russian q
golden opportunity. for here. as else
where, there are many posts, for which
graduates alone arc eligible. A stroll
through the streets Of Moscow during
term time furnishes abundant evidence
of the popularity Of the university. The
uncompromising military blue and
green uniform which stamps the stu
dent, and which he can never, save
under dire penalties, exchange for
plain clothes, is to be met with at
every turn. A few rich students are
caught sight of driving; the many are
on foot.
