THE COKE INDUSTRY.
Mnnufacturers' Statistics Reported
by the Census Bureau.

The division of manufactures Of the Cen
sus Bureau yesterday issued a bulletin on
coke.
The report shows a capital of s36, 500. 619
invested in the manufacture of coke, which
represents the value of lands, buildings,
ovens, machinery, tools. implements, and
the live capital required to carry on the
business, but does not include the capital
stock of any of the corporations. The
value of the products from the use of this
capital was $35. 5S5, AS, TO produce which in
volved an outlay Of S70S5, 1856 for wages;
$19 665, ,532 for raw materials. consisting
almost wholly of coali and 81, 1S,s6S Tor
miscellaneous expenses.
The modern tendency of industry to con-
centrate in comparatively small number
of establishments is strikingly exemplified
in the coke industry. where there is an in
crease of only o. or 106 per cent. in the
number Of establishments reported, as
compared with 1889, while the increase in
the number of tons of coke produced Is
96.2 per cent, and in the value OF all
products, 115.7 per cent. Thus the average
product per establishment has risen from
45. .sO9 short tons in 1889 to 81, ,497 short tons
in 1899, and the average value of all prod
ucts per establishment from Sl5,68O in 1883
to S147, 657 in 1899. There has been still
greater increase in the amount Oh capllaI
invested, and a nearly equal increase in
the number of wage-earnerS ana IN the
amount paid in wages.
The report aIludes to certain interesting
features in the development OF the INDUS
try which have arisen since 1889, as, for
instance, the introduction of retort or by
product ovens: the increasing use OF coke
for domestic purposes; the large increase
in the practice of washing the coal before
charging into the ovens; and the decreased
cost of coal in 1899 because of the introduce
ton OF improved mining machinery and
better methods of mining.
The total product OF coke in 1893 from all
the ovens included in this report amount
ed to 10 640 79S short tons valued at S34 633,-
AS as compared with an output OF lO,U9S,-
1853 short tons, valued al 15,494, ,454, IN ISSS,
and with 2, 1852, 475 short tons, valued at
s.. 1853, ,4S9, in 1880.
The number of wage earners in the coke
industry has increased from S,99S IN 1883 10
16, 999. in 1899 or $50 per cent The total
81 OS5 f136 in 1899 or "a. per cent.

NEGRO EDUCATION DISCUSSED.
Booker t. Washington Addresses the
Methodist Missionary Conference.

NEW ORLEANS, April 26.-The third
days session Of the Methodist General
Missionary Conference was opened today
by an address by the Rev. d. c. Kelley,
on Domestic Missions" He argued in
favor of home missions, and thought the
Church could do a great deal of good in
this country. and chat the failure to pro-
vide for home missions was a mistake.
The Rev. Horace Bishop spoke on prob
lens of "Self-suppert and Administra-
ton He argued in favor of business
administration. and thought that no mis-
sionary work should be undertaken, how
ever pressing, when there is no provision
for it, He favored the holding OF a New
Year mission by the Conference Board of
Missions.
DR.. G.. w. Dyer spoke of missionary
work in the Southern cities, where 1t was
greatly needed. The Rev w. II. La
prade wanted trained workers to supple
mont in the mission. The principal ad-
dress of the afternoon session was by
Booker T. Washington, the negro edu-
Gator of Tuskegee University, Alabama.
His address was on '+The Negro and In
dustrial Education and was in line with
his previous addresses on the subject.
Nearly the entire session was devoted
to the negro, and the general tendency OF
the addresses was to the effect that the
Methodist Church should work more ear
nestIy among the colored people of the
South, and that there was a fine field for
its labor there. DIR. J. D. Harrimond OF
Nashville Tenn. opened the meeting. The
Rev. r. l. Bingham asked the question:
Are we meeting our responsibilities as
to the negroes III the South?'
The Rev. c. V. Walker spoke on the
work OF the Payne Institute, and DR. w
G. Hubbard on The Medical Education
| OF the Negro
At the evening session John Barrett
ex-United States Minister to Siam, spoke
on The Future of Missions from a Lay
man Standpoint and Bishop Hendrick
of Kansas City, on The Missionary
Idea"
The general tendency of today's meet
ing was in favor of more missions in the
South, especially in the cities and among
the negroes.

HARVARD ALUMNI PROTES 7.
Circular Letter on the Proposed
Degree for Mr.. Mckinley.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April ga com
mittee of Harvard graduates is sending
the following circular to all the alumni of
the university
ITO the Alumni and other Holders of
Degrees:
Being informed that President McKin-
ley has, through the solicitation of Sena-
tor Hoar, the President of the Alumni As
sociaton, been recommended to the Board
Of Overseers of Harvard College by the
President and fellows for the degree of
LII. d. honoris causa, we, with con-
siderable number of other graduates of
the university intend to present pro-
test to the overseers, believing that the
degree should not be conferred on Mr..
Mckinley at this time, and that, as this
recommendation has been promoted by
the solicitation of others, we also are
clearly entitled to be heard. as protest
ants, by the oyerseers.
I'VE firmly believe in the general prin-
ciple that honorary degrees should not be
conferred merely in recognition of high
political position, or as prizes of political
success.
1T is worthy of remark that Harvard
College has already acted upon this prin-
cipie with respect to the Governor of
the United States, who came to Cam
bridge, recognized this principle and did
not take the degree offered him.
Further, we believe that. as there ex-
lists sincere division of opinion concern
Ing the national policy with which Mr..
McKinley's name is associated, to confer
the degree of doctor of laws upon him
would work injustice and give needless
pain to a considerable number of grad
yates by seeming to commit the univer-
sity to a decision upon a political policy.
which decision is not the function OF
such an institution.
1T is conceivable that it would not be
agreeable to the President, or his friends,
to make him the recipient of degree
which cannot be the hearty and willing
gift of the university.
I'VE think that some protest should be
made, so that this honor may not be con-
ferred without an expression of the opin-
ions OF Harvard graduates who object to
comforting the honoris causa degree on
Mr.. Mckinley.
In replying TO this circular, will you, if
| you approve of a protest, sign the en-
closed paper and send to Elmer II. Snow,
10 fremont Street. room Al. Boston, indi-
eating whether you will allow your name
to be made public if necessary?
ANY graduate who desires to protest
by written letter rather than by signing
| his name, will help the cause if he will
! send MS letter to the above address or
| to the president or other member of the
! board of overseers.
The circular is signed by Peter G.
| Brooks, %; Wendell Phillips Garrison, 81;
! John Ritchie, 81; Edward w. Emerson,

It has often been our privilege to

BRADSTREETS ON THE WEEK.
Trade BuOyancy Expected With the
Advent of Better weather.
NEW YORK.; spril 2s.-Bradstreets t

NEW YORK. April 26.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
While adversely affected by unfavora-
bic weather conditions, general trade
manifests a strong underlying tone, which
seemingly lacks only the advent of better
weather to become buoyant. Cold weather
has undoubtedly affected planting and
terminating in some sections, but the
probable damage to crops is not so great
as earlier advices appeared to indicate
In some directions, activity is pronounced,
as, for example. in iron and steel, where
apparently production is taxed to its ca
pacity, but though seemingly more to
meet existing requirements than because
of new orders
"Pittsburg mills are reported taxed TO
the utmost with deliveries difficult. The
advance of 81 ton on standard section
rails on May IL will bring the official quo
tations in accord with the market price.
The situation with regard to the crude
forms is practically unchanged on firm
undertone. The backward spring has
worked to the disadvantage of dry goods,
but business is looking up somewhat with
the promise of improved weather condi-
tions.
Heavy clearings continue to reflect a
large speculative movement. Railway
gross earnings continue to show substan-
tial gains, the current receipts of the
Southwestern lines being the best in their
history, and Western and Southern roads
are doing almost as well.
The general price situation is one of
firmness, most commodities being un-
changed, though there are few increases
noticed, particularly on coffee, flour,
wheat, corn, oats, lard. and tin, while
butter, cheese, petroleum, and odd sizes
of print cloths show declines.
Speculation in wheat this week was
active and the price movement was up
ward on d multiplicity of factors, chief
of which Were the damage reports by the
Hessian fly, the decidedly unfavorable
Prussian crop report, and the better cash

VIEWS OF THE PUBLISHERS.
The Abuse of SecOnd-CInss Mail Priv
iIeges Denounced.

One hundred and fifty replies have been
received by the Postoffice Department TO
the circular letter sent out by the Third
Assistant Postmaster General TO publish
ers throughout the country regarding
the abuses of the second class mail privi-
lege by so-called premium publications
A large majority of the publications heard
from heartily endorse the department S
plan to deny the use of the mails TO such
publications as are without literary merit
and depend solely on premiums. prizes,
or guessing contests for their circula ton.
Among the letters received yesterday
was one from the New York FsIblishers'
Association, endorsing the general plan
the letter outlines.
AS copies of the circular letter We're
also sent to the premium publications ask
ing for their views, a number of strong
protests have been received from these
sources, but when the three hundred pub
fishers to whom letters were sent have
all been heard from Mr.. Madden thinks
the general sentiment will warrant some
such a change as is contemplated.
