''The Courier. the leading newspaper of Connellsville, Pa, refers with satisfaction, pride ,and as something quite new, to the fact that telephones have been placed in some of the coal mines in that district which is the largest coke producing dis trist in the world, said Erskine Ramsey of the Tennessee company We have had telephones in our mines at Pratt City for four or five years, and some of the instru- ments are perhaps two miles under ground. We early discovered their value, and use them constantly. During the re- cent extraordinary rains which flooded some of our mines we found the tele- phones to be indispensable. The com panys main office at Pratt City was kept in immediate communication with the bosses in charge of the men who were dealing with the floods down in the mines, and at any moment we were enabled to ascertain the progress of the work
 But there are few mines in any district so fortunate as to have at command the directing skill of such able and ex- perlenced men as Mr. Ramsey.

OSAGE SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Niiburn Seitz Seriously, if not
 Fatally, Wounded.

A shooting scrape took place at Osage last Saturday afternoon, in which Will burn Seitz was dangerously wounded and his brother Massey was severely beaten on the head with a revolver. The work was done by Charley and Joe Fan cher, two brothers who are, also, first cousins of the Seitz's.
 The affray took place in front of w. k. Sneed's store about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Five shots were fired in all three of which took effect in the body of Wilbufn Seitz. One shot passed through the fleshly part of both thighs, inficting slight injury to the abdomen; one took effect in the left leg above the knee and one in the left arm. The Seitz boys were neither armed.
 Seitz's wounds are not necessarily fa- tai, but they are regarded as very seri- ous and it will take the best of nursing to pull him through.
 Massey Seitz, who was beaten over the head with 8 revolver, is not badly hurt and will soon recover.
 Charley, the elder of the two Fanchers was placed under arrest on the ground. but Joe has, so far, succeeded in evadin9 the officers.
 Strange as it may seem, no one, sc far, appears to be familiar with the facts which led up to the difficulty. The Seitz and Fancher families were on good terms.

THE GERMAN VIEW
Is Anything But Favorable 10 the Alleged Good
Intentions Of the Chinese.

Berlin July H.-The Berliner Post
prints. TINS evening, an important article
on the Chinese situation understood to
emanate from the German foreign office.
The article discusses the close relation
between Chinese politics and Chinese mil
itary nians and points out the significant
fact that the peacesful assurances Of
Chinese statesmen did not begin until
after the success of the allies at Tien
Tsin. suggesting that this is something
more than mere coincidence.
The writer strongly argues that hit.-
erto the course of events in China utter
~ contradicts the tactical position of
thinese oficialdom. which is that the
government is blameless for the warlikc
steps of the Chinese against the allies.
AT Taku and Tien Tsn.' says the
ucie. lit was almost exclusively a force
OF Regular Chinese troops that fought the
allies The leadership of these troops
was in the hands of imperial generals,
and ii is also a fact that the troops which
compelled Admiral Seymour's retreat
were imperial soldiers commanded by an
imperial general.
According to all the information we
nave from Pekin, the regular soldiers
haIe made common cause with the So
called rebels. Otherwise the present an
archy would have been impossible. Con-
sidering the usual Chinese system toward
foreigners. ii is highly probable that this
anarchy is gladly tolerated by the actual
authorities in order to prove to the pow
ers the impotence of the government.
The stubbornness of the battles
around Tien Tsin," continues the writer
shows that the Chinese political and
military calculations were able to achieve
favorable results at first. If the allies
mad not succeeded at Tien Tsin, where
the situation was for two weeks doubtful
Chinese politics would have scored a sue
cess whose consequences would have been
incalculable"
The article concludes as follows;
whether Chinese craftsmanship Is to
succeed in nindering an energetic and in
dehisent plan of operations by the allies.

the allies will be at disadvantage

The Chinese who remained in the city
and those who lived outside came to
the Japanese quarters with large
flag bearing an inscription expressing
their submission to Japan and showed
their appreciation of the unexceptionaI
behavior of our troops. They also
brought to our sentry cake. fruit and
tea in token of their friendly feeling.
Our troops are thus daily gaining the
confidence and respect of the native
population.

PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES.
Lack Of Naval Base Requires That Extraordi.
nary Measures Be Taken.

Washington, July 2i-The navy depart
ment is preparing for possible eventuaii-
ties arising out of the situation in China.
One of the great difficulties which would
confront the United States in the event
of naval warfare in Chinese waters is the
lack of a naval base close to the scene of
operations.
Manila is goo miles from Taku, while
some of the other powers have bases
within striking distance. England has a
base at Wei Hei Wei and a coaing sta
ton at Che Foo; Russia has a naval base
a Port Arthur and Germany one at
Kaiachaio. Beside in case of a naval
war the ports of China. which in ordi-
nary times are open for the purchase Of
all ordinary supplies and stores would be
closed
A fleet of Golfers will have to be util-
lied to take out coal for our ships and to
ply back and forth between our squad
rons and Manila. This plan. however. has
its obstacles owing 10 the fact that for
eign countries have gobbled up every
thing atioat which could be utilized for
shipping coal and stores Germany and
Japan have even impressed steamers.
As a precautionary measure the GOLFERS
purchased during the Spanish war which
had gone out of commission are being
fitted out for service. The water ship
Arethusa is being prepared in the League
Island yard and Admiral Bradford, chief
of the bureau of equipment, today,
recommended that the LeCnidas and
Pompey, both at the same yard, be at
once fitted out
