AMERICAN COAL IN LEAD.
Col. w. p. Rsnd Says Countries of
Europe Must Look to This COun-
try for Future Supplies.

Col. W. P. Rend has returned to
Chicago from a two months visit to
Europe, confident that the nations Of
the old world will have to look to this
country more and more for their coal
supplies, and with firm belief that
the great natural resources of this
country are certain to give it stead
lily increasing prominence in the mar
kets of the world.
There is no doubt that American
coal is to be in steadily increasing de-
mand in Europe" he said. THE de-
mand is there now, and there is a
ready market for every pound of our
coal The English coal fields are be-
coming so difficult and expensive to
work that it 10 impossible for that
country successfully to compete with
our coal much longer. Prices of coal
there have doubled within the last IS
months, and SO alarmed have the Eng
lish people become at this condition,
which carries with it most serious
menace TO their steel and iron manu-
facturers, that leading English papers
are advocating an export tax on coal
in order to prevent the exhaustion of
the supply and to protecI their iron
and steel makers from the further en-
croachments of the American makers"

The Years Gold and Silver Products.

Director of the Mint Roberts estimates
the production of gold in the United
States and Alaska during the past year
at $40 1895, PSI, and of silver at $780,
43l. This is heavy increase of the pre-
vious year and does not include the pro-
duct OF the Klondike on the British side,
most of which was sent to the American
minis. Notwithstanding the talk of the
mines in the South, they are only cred
tied with silver and gold to the amount
of 1891 900, over million of which
was mined in New Mexico. Colorado

ADMISSION TO WEST POINT.


Col. A. L. Aills, superintendent Of
the military academy at West Point,
has made his annual report TO the ad-
jutant general.
He devotes the greater part of his
report to an earnest plea for the ele-
walton of the standard of admission
to West Point, to which end he sug-
gests that the secretary of war be
empowered to prescribe these require
ments. He lays particular stress upon
the fact that the entrance examina-
tons at present correspond closely to
the educational qualifications Of pupils
of the public schools just emerging
from the primary grades. According
to the commissioner Of education,
pupils OF an average age of 14Ha years
in the public schools have these quail
fications. Yet the average age of the
applicant to West Point is above and
boys at that time of life should be
equipped with high school education,
including subjects which are not now
part OF the entrance examination at
West Point but which should be in
the future. The superintendent says
it would be in every way advanta-
geous to have the relations between
arithmetic and algebra and geometry
made the same as now exists in the
public schools. There is no desire
that the entrance examinations should
be made more difficult. but only that
it should require what the public
schools OF the country supply.

Shipwrecked Sailors Lived the Oifer-

 Captain Murray, a Port Royal bar nilot who has followed the sea since hoyhood and visited nearly every sec- .ion of the habitable globe, IS full Of interesting "reminiscences ot happen ines in distant lands in which he par ticipated, says the Columbia (S. O State The old pilot is fond of relating an incident which occurred near Cal cutta India. The vessel which he com handed, a fine clipper ship was wrecked in typhocn in the Bay of Bengal and all hands, save himself and two companions who succeeded in reaehi1 shore in the ships gig, were lost The three exhausted men imme- diately sought food and shelter and while thus employed came upon an immense wooden image which they correctly surmised to be an Indian idol Night was upon them and the men bivouacked near by and their .+tention was soon attracted by the appearance of a scorce of low-caste uindoos. each of whom carried in his hands a savory dish which he placed before the inanimate god. After each native had deposited his offering with nrofuse signs and words they departed, and when the hungry sailors were sat isfied that their strange visitors had retreated for the night they greedily aeyoured the bounteous repast intend ed for the idol. Murray and his com Danions remained in the neighborhood for several days subsisting nightly on the offerings brought by the Hindoos as a tribute to their god and remain ing concealed in the daytime. One night about ten days after their ship wreck two natives suddenly surprised 1he three men while they were in the very act of making their usual meal and a fight ensued. The natives proved no match for the resolute and we'll armed Americans and soon beat an ignominious retreat, leaving the latter complete masters of the situation. The captain and his companions, fearing that the natives would return in force and massacre them, made their way to Calcutta, where they secured passage in homeward bound vessel. Some 15 years subsequently, Pilot Murray recoe- nized in Captain Cole of the ship Kir- kum. which called here for a cargo. one of his old companions in the eX- citing encounter in far-off India. The recognition was mutual and the two men were delighted to renew their ac- quaintance after half a generation.

 Major J. P. Sanger of the Inspector generals department, United States army, has been making a census of Porto Rico, with the express object of finding what proportion of the male population of voting age know enough to entitle them to a voice in directing the affairs Of the island. He finds that if there were enforced the simple edu cational qualification of mere ability to read and write only p per cent of the native-born males of voting age and 24 per cent Of all males of voting age would De entitled to vote Few countries if any are as distinctively native in the nationality of their in habtants as Porto Rico. Among the males of voting age only 3.8 per cent are of foreign birth and of these 2.S per cent are Spanish Exceedingly few of the inhabitants who make up the 3.S per cent have forsaken their alien citizenship. In Porto Rico there are 20l,071 males of voting age, 59 per cent of whom are whites born in
 
 and the remainder whites born in Spain or in other countries. Of the l20295 whites of Porto Rican birth 35,391 are literate, or 29 per cent of their class, and of the 73,010 colored l2,596 can read, or IT per cent. In the cities of San Juan and Ponce is concentrated a considerable part of the foreign population of the island, and here, if anywhere will the restriction or the suffrage to literates give the foreign born an advantage. In the city of San Juan the native whites and colored each outnumber the for elgn element while together they out number them nearly 25 to 1. In Ponce thls proportion is even greater, the native whites being more than three times as numerous as the foreign ele ment. while the colored are double it's humber.

BETTING on THE ELECTION.
Even Money Offered on Wells
Against the Field.

Betting on Tuesdays election is unprece-
dented in the history of local municipal
elections and almost as many wagers nave
made in the presidential election last No
yember. Wells is the favorite at even
money against the field, but his stock has
been advancing since the middle of last
week and now Mr.. Wellss friends are
obliged to offer odds to get bets between
Wells and Parker or between Wells and
Meriwether.
Sunday night it seemed impossible to get
a bet for Parker or Meriwether. Jonn j.
Parle, the broker, offered several days ago
to wager $4,000 or any part OF 1t on "elis
at even money, but so far no one has ac-
cepted the challenge. The money is on de-
posit with Mr.. Parle who says the bet is
omen to any taker on the basis of Wells to
win.
Saturday night Democratic politician OF
the Twenty-frst Ward offered to bet $50 on
Wells against Parker. The proposition was
made in Hotel Rozier. before a large
crowd After half an hours bantering he
succeeded in closing the bet with promi-
nent official OF the Merchants League Club,
at $50 even for Wells to win against the
field although 1t was difficult to get this
bet.
Wells's strength was commonly ackno"i-
edged after the great demonstration OF Sat
urday night, and all the large bets are on
him to win. Many bets are being made on
Parker and Meriwether for second place
Meriwether's power in Republican wards
has caused much comment and the univer-
sal opinion among betting men Is that
either one may come second.
