Circulation Statement
The shamrock Accident.

As we read the full particulars Of the
wreck of the yacht Shamrock Il. in the
S0Ient yesterday, with King Edward
and Sir Thomas Upton on board, it
Is evident that the accident was very
serious one The wonder is that nobody
was killed. or carried overheard Sir
Thomas, struck by a falling wire, was
stunned for moment, but all hands
came out of the affair safe and whole.
But the unfortunate challenger her
self was not so lucky. Unless the New
York Yacht Club is willing to extend
the time for the races by several weeks
it viii be impossible TO put the Sham
rock Il in trim again, and get her over
here. The extension asked for would
fix the time uncomfortably near the
equinoctial gales, and Sir Thomas
would probably find himself in about
as rough water and weather as he ex-
perienced yesterday. Aside from that
consideration we do not see why the
courtesy should not be extended. The
interest taken in the Cup races by the
King. and his desire to have them come
of in spite Of the accident, doubtless

FORCED TO IMPORT COAL.
The Mines of Hungary Do Not sup
Ply That Country.

Frank Dyer Chester, the United States
Consul at Budapest, has written 20 the
State Department concerning the coal
situation in Hungary. He says the coal
question has become more important for
Hungary than the problem Of her indus
trial development.
while England and Germany produce
good coal and the latter consumes almost
all 1t produces the consul says, Austria
produced in 1898 about % 100000 tons and
exported / 333. 900 tons to Hungary. Hun
gary produced in 1899 only 100000 tons
and had to import from Austria, as afore-
said, over 10000 tons. As this import
Just covers the decrease in production
from 1898. it is important that our Amer
lean exporters should not be deferred
from their efforts by reports Of the de-
crease Of HungaTy's import
The decrease in 1900 took place in stone
coal only, while the import since Janu-
airy l. 1891. from Austria and Germany has
increased, from Great Britain it is five
times as great, and there was an import
from Italy of 395 tons. In December. 1900,
there was an import of Csc tons o. stone
coal from Asiatic Turkey, and II tons
only from the United States-signs that
the American exporters need TO get into
more direct connection with Hungarian
importers
There is at present no duty on coal in
Austria Hungary. The principal consun-
ers are the State railroad and the numer-
GUS distilleries. The production Of stone
coal in Hungary is entirely in private
hands A feeble attempt is now being
made to float new shares of the largest
coal concern Of Hungary on the local
market; but only some . per cent Of the
whole coal production of Hungary Is stone
coal and the IDTTnaphinz changes in
teTnatiOnaI commerce are not favorable
to the rapid success of new mining

Cotton Mather's Faith in the Su-

ious liberation, but in common with the
other Mathers believed in spirits and de-

Our Isolation in China.

At the present moment It is hard to
decide what ought to be done in the
matter of the Chinese indemnity. The
policy Of this country favors separate
issues Of bonds in the amounts due to
the several countries III interest Mr.
RockhilI is urging this plan upon the
ENJOYS, as wei as the Presidents de-
sire to have the total OF the indemnity
reduced to two hundred million dollars,
Great Britain is in agreement with US
as 10 the first and partially as to the
second proposition Most of the other
Powers oppose both.
The practical difficulty in the matter
arises from the fact that should China
be permitted 10 float what would in eff
feet be separate and distinct loans some
OF them would not be paid. It would
depend upon how the ruling influence
OF the day at the Chinese court might
view the probability of reprisaIs
in the event of default, whether
any Of them would be settled.
England, France, Germany. and Russia
are permanently On the ground. and
Japan is near by Probably they could
protect their interests without much
trouble. Il is different matter with
this country, as would doubtless appear
were Mr. Hays plans accepted by the
European States
There is no question that President
Mckinley is trying hard to help China
back to her feet, and, incidentally, to
prop the open door. The recent Chinese
policy Of the State Department has not
conduced to these ends, not has It in

BALTIMORE. May 23.-The committee
Of the Maryland commission on exhibits
at Charleston met yesterday and took
steps to secure as large an exhibit by
Baltimore manufacturers as possible at
the South Carolina Interstate and West
Indian Exposition. Samuel RosenthaI.
jr-, stated that the large business OF the
city with the South made it incumbent
upon local manufacturers to show their
interest in promoting the success of this
Southern Exposition. Baltimore is a
next-dOOr neighbor and closely affiliated
in trade with the people who are engaged
in this enterprise. 1t is a great task for
Charleston to assume. and the courage
ken should be backed up by all that Bal
timore spirit and energy can give IN sup
port.
1t was decided by the committee to send
a circular letter TO all firms and compa-
MES engaged largely in manufacturing
industries enquiring whether they pro
pose to exhibit, and if so, the space to be
required. The replies are directed to be
sent to the secretary Of the Maryland
commission, Clarence H Forrest at the
rooms Of the Merchants and Man Ifactur-
ers Association The secretary has plans
of the different exhibition buildings, with
the rules and rates governing exhibits and

NEW HAVEN, May "a scheme to
connect Boston and New York By Pneu-
matte tube service was disclosed yester-
day afternoon before the Committee on
Corporations Of the State Legislature,
when the promoters Of the Electric Pneu-
matte Company Of Hartford gave out the
plans of their company in their argu-
ments for receiving a charter
The new company proposes TO incorpo-
rate in this State with q capital stock Of
10000, only a small amount Of which
viii be furnished by Connecticut capital
lists. It is planned. so it was said yes
teTday, to build an electric pneumatic tube
conduit by way of the large cities. to New
Haven, thence to Hartford, Springfield,
and thence to Boston, also from New Ha-
ven TO Providence, and thence to Bos-
ton.
As the incorporators would not discuss
the financial backing behind the proposed
scheme it is not known whether il is
Boston OF New York company. The pro-
moters said that sufficient capital was as
sured, however, and the line would cer-
tainIy be built at once If permission was
granted.
It is proposed to use the new service for
common carriage, such as is now con-
troIIed by the express companies and
steam railroads to carry mail for the Gov
eminent where possible, to carry newspa-
pers from the large centres TO the small
towns, and to do 4 general express car
