LIVE NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
For the British American Plan.

Washington.-The news dispatches
from Pekin convey to the official nina
here the belief that what is known as the
British American plan of settling the in
demnity question is making Roadway,
and that it will in the end be adopted as
the only feasible scheme Although
often mentioned, the details of the Brit
ish plan have not heretofore been given,
and they were learned from an authorl-
tative source to be as follows
The Chinese government is to issue
bonds to each of the powers to the
amount of the indemnity due each. These
bonds are to bear q per cent interest, with
clause providing y per cent amortiza-
ton. Certain of the Chinese revenues,
not specifically designated in the propo-
sition, are to be ear-marked for the lilui-
dation of the bonds. A committee ap-
pointed by the foreign powers is to take
charge of questions relating to the reve-
nues thus ear-marked, and the commit
tee is to arrange details by which the
revenues are to be applied on the bonds
In case of default on the bonds the de-
fault is to be to the committee, and not u
the several powers The foregoing is IN
substance the entire proposition, but later
it was proposed in addition that the
period OF the bonds be 80 years and that
they be issued in installments. In this
form the proposition stood up to within
few days ago, but it is not known IN what
particulars it may have been modified by
the minister's

Biz Coal Output Last Year.

Official reports show that the year 1000
closed the century with the largest coal
production ever recorded in the United
States and continued the supremacy OF
the United States among the coal pro-
ducing countries of the world. Practl-
cally completed returns to Edward w.
Parker, statistician of the United States
Geological Survey, show the total out
put of coal in 1900 to have been 2o7,542,-
444 short tons, an increase over the pre-
ceding year of I3,8o2,452 tons, or little
more than per cent.
The value of this product was $780,
100000, an increase of 10 per cent. over
1899. Coal producers felt much great
er benefit from the improved trade con-
ditions in 1000 than in either 1893 or
1899. Coal contracts are usually made
long time ahead, sometimes more than
a year, and much coal was delivered in
1900 at less than it cost to produce it,
the price of labor having advanced be-
fore the operators could advance the
price of coal. The value of the coal
product in 1900 (the value being free on
board cars at the mines) was equal to
nearly third of the value Of the
total mineral poduct of the United
States in 1899.

Expects a Great Crash.

Congress will have plenty to do next
winter and abundance OF time in which
to do it," said Representative Mercer,
chairman of the House Cfnmittee on
Public Buildings and Grounds.
Among other things, expect con-
siderable progress will be made toward
identifying Washington. / saw the
Secretary OF Agriculture, and he has
planned for an elegant structure on the
site of the present department building.
Attorney General Knox appears to be
satisfied to wait for further Congress
sional action before erecting the De-
partmcnt OF Justice Building. The site
for that building is too small, and some
day we may have fine structure else
where which will accommodate the De-
partment Of Justice, the Supreme Court
and the Court of Claims.
The trust question will doubtless be
literally discussed in Congress. have
not paid much attention to the Babcock
bill and have no views to express con-
corning it. I think the trusts will
sooner or later care for themselves and
anticipate heavy crash at some future
time. They cannot hope to continue
consolidating time after time, and every
time they consolidate injecting guam
tity OF water into the stock and securi-
ties. Sooner or later there will come
time when the holders Of the securities
will want to be paid, and where is the
money 10 come from? The way they
are going now is like man renewing
a note and each time making it for a
larger amount. The people hold these
notes, and some day they will want
their money and there will be difficulty
in getting it."

from Mrs. Prince, mother of the pris
