LEADING PAPERS OF
LONDON SYMPATHETIC
IN THEIR COMMENT.
They Express Good Will for America
and Denounce the Deed Which Has
Imperiled the Life of the Presi-
dent of the Republic.

London, Sept. THE dean of Canter-
bury will offer special prayers tomor-
row for the recovery Of President Nc
Kinley
All the evening newspapers comment
on the anarchists crime. The great
est sympathy and good will is express
ed for the United States.
A most striking tribute to President
Mckinley is paid by the Globe. and il
is all the more notable as the paper is
not celebrated for its friendliness to
America. The Globe says:
mo sooner had President Mckinley
taken up the reins of office than we
saw remarkable change come over the
political character of his people. The
days of their impetus youth were over
They gained dignity and sense of re-
sponsibility befitting their national
manhood. and today the world regards
them with respect, which Is a far high
er tribute than the wonder and anxiety
with which It used to watch them.
This newly acquired national So
briefly has implied no loss of vigor. 1t
is not the dizziness OF lethargy-it Is
quiet, conscious strength-the transit
ton from feverish youth to mature
manhood. The world has witnessed
the United States. for the first time in
history, accepting those imperial obli-
cations for which they were, in more
ot-headed days, untitled. They have
taken foremost place among the great
powers OF the world They have stimuli

national advice due to the man who,
yesterday, was the object of an anar-

him by the new imperial destiny OF the
United States"
The Westminster Gazette's leading
editorial is entitled, AN Insensate
Crime" It refers to the great Amer
lean around whose sick bed the whole
world waits anxiously this morning"
The St. James Gazette says: THE
problem of dealing with such monsters
is among the most difficult society has
to face. We are almost inclined to
regret the escape OF the would-be assas-
sin from lynching."
The continental newspapers all COM
ment on the crime In the same sym
pathetic strain. The Vienna Neue Freie
Presse says: 1T is improbable that
the murderous assault was prompted
by political party hatred, for the bitter
ness between the Republican and
Democratic parties has been greatly
abated since the election"
The Neues Wiener Journal of Wen

trusts which have developed so vastly
under his aegis, for these trusts have

Fear Shortage of Anthracite.

There seems to be every prospect for
quite a shortage of coal at West Super
Tor the coming winter. 1t is without
question true that there will be much
greater shortage of hard coal than
there was during last winter when
the docks early shut off shipping an
thracite to outside points and early
commenced crushing and screening
coal in order to get the different grades
and varieties of anthracite for the
trade. The supply was pieced out last
winter, but there is great danger and
possibility that if there is not a big
rush of coal to this port within short
time there will be shortage that will
be felt during the coming winter.
