FEARS FOR HER COAL SUPPLY
British Royal Commission to Inves-
tigate Subject.

London, Dec. pa royal commits
sion has been appointed to inquire into
the coal resources of Great Britain.
The questions to be covered by the
commissions inquiries will include the
rate of possible exhaustion of British
coal fields. the effect of the export on
the home supply, the possibility of a
reduction in it's cost by cheaper trans
portation and whether the coal mining
industry of Great Britain, under the
existing conditions, is maintaining It's
competitive powers with foreign coal
fields.
A similar commission was appointed
in 1865 and in 1871 delivered an opinion
to the effect that the supply of coal
to the depth of 1000 feet was 90 206
million tons. It is estimated that
during the thirty years fom 1871 to 1900
inclusive the British output of coal was
5,025, 900 tons, rate of exhaustion
far in excess of that summed by the
royal commission and due to the enor-
nous increase of exports. If this rate
of doubling the output in thirty years
be maintained. the end of the present
century will see the exhaustion of
Great Britain coal mines.

FOUR TRAINMEN KILLED.
Landslide ON Virginia Railroad
Causes Disastrous Wreck.

landslide ON Virginia Railroad
Causes Disastrous Wreck.
Lynchburg. Va, Dec. 29.--A land
slide on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road, nearer Reusens Station, five miles
west of Lynchburg on the James river
branch to-day, caused a wreck in
which the engineer, conductor, fireman
and baggageman of passenger train
were killed and several other persons
injured, but none Of them seriously.
The slide was caused by washouts due
to the heavy rains.
Early reports said that ten or twelve
passengers had been killed, but it is
now stated that the passenger car got
out of the way just in time to escape
the hillside, when 1t crashed down over
the tracks. The accident occurred be-
tween z and 1880 in the evening.
Several passengers from the wreck
express the opinion that probably one
or two passengers were buried under
the debris caused by the slide, but no
names can be ascertained of any pas
sengers known to be missing The
train to which the mishap occurred
was known as No. o. 1t left Lynch
and consisted of an engine, tender, bag
gage car, and one passenger car which
was pretty well filled with travellers
In explanation of the casualties it
is stated that the train had run into
a rockslide without damage and the
trainmen and some of the passengers
had succeeded in pushing the passenger
car back from under the cliffs. They
were trying to do the same thing for
the baggage car when a second heavy
slide came down. The car overturned
and Thompson, Fisher and Shannon
were crushed. Conductor Whitaker
was knocked into the river and
drowned. His body has not been re-
covered. A shout of warning as the
second slide came enabled most of
those who were in danger to escape
without injury. Fears are expressed
that one or more passengers may have
been caught, but so far as can be
learned none is known to be missing.
All the killed are residents Of Rich
mond.

NELLIE CROPSEY's FUNERAL.
Immense Crowds Pnclxed and Sur
rounded Church In Spite of Wind
and Driving Rain-WiIcox Re-
mains UnmOved.


Charlotte, N. c., Dec. 29.-A special
to the Observer from Elizabeth City,
N. c., says:
In a storm of intermittent wind and
driving rain, and in the presence of
the largest crowd which ever assem-
bled at a church In this city. the
funeral services over the remains Of
Miss Ella Maud Cropsey, the girl sup
posed to have been murdered five weeks
ago, were held this afternoon in the
Methodist Church, There were 1900
people packed in the Auditorium, ball
cony and annex, and hundreds could
not get admittance. The deceased be-
came member of this church thirty
eight days before her disappearance.
Among those in the funeral cortege
were Judge and Mrs. Cropsey, three
daughters and u son, and Lawyer An
drew G. Cropsey of New York. The
remains are lying in the Methodist
Church annex over night, and will be
started to Brooklyn tomorrow morn
ing.
The Jail in which young Wilcox, who
was arrested for alleged participant ton
in the girls death, lies in only a stones
throw from the church. Wilcox :znew
the funeral was in progress, but
showed no emotion and merely inquired
If large crowd was present. He is more
nervous than yesterday, but retains
much of the easy manner that. has
characterized him at all times. The
guards were withdrawn from the jail
to-day and permitted to go home. Pub
lie sentiment is strong against Wilcox.
but there is less talk OF lynching. and
some OF the ministers to-day took oc-
caslon in their sermons, to advise
against mob violence. Wilcox abso-
lutely refuses, under advice of his at
torney, to say anything regarding the
case. He is charged with the murder
of the girl and as the offense is not
bailable in this state, he will waive
an examination and permit his case to
March.
The Rev. L.. L. Williams, rector. of
the Episcopal Church, during his morn
ing sermon referred to the Cropsey
case and said the people should not
act hastily in condemning Wilcox. He
advised his hearers not to commit any
overt act, but to allow the law to
maintain its course. r. w. Turner a
member of the citizens committee, as
serted to-day that they would have
sufficient evidence to convict Wilcox
with the crime. He said:
We know Miss Cropsey was
killed by a blow on the head
by a sandbag or blackjack If the
blow was struck while she was on the
porch. then her unconscious form was
dragged across the lawn to the river,
only short distance away. If the
blow was struck on the lawn we are
| convinced she was induced to cross
the lawn by Wilcox, and that while
walking across she was struck by him,
There is another witness who NAV
be called upon to testify. 1t is r. r.
Parker, who. told his wife that the
night after Miss Cropsey disappeared
he had seen Wilcox dragging a girl
across the road in front of the Wilcox
residence. We will investigate that. /"

AN OMAHA FLYER WRECKED.
Collision ON Chicago and Northwest
ern Kills Four and Injuries Twen-
ty-nine, Several Fatally.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Four persons we're
killed and 20 more or less seriously in
Jured in the shock or by the scalding
steam that enveloped the wrecked
coaches after the collision, several of
them possibly fatally, in a collision on
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway
to-day at Malta, ILL.,, sixty miles west
of Chicago. The trains in collision
were the Omaha Flyer" an east
bound passenger train, and an east
bound freight train. The wreck caught
fire and two passenger coaches, one
sleeping car and eight freight cars
were burned, and sleeping car was
partly burned.
Injured passengers were attended i'm
mediately by surgeons from Rochelle
and Dekalb and later were removed
to st. Luke's Hospital, in Chicago, by
special train.
The freight train had taken a siding
at Malta but the train was longer
than the siding and the freight loco
motive protruded beyond the side
track The incoming train from the
West was not stopped until the two
Iocomotives "cornered at the SWITCH,
tHS PdSSIHSCl IHSAHC DGih6 liiOWAi
into the ditch and several coaches
piling upon the wreck. The cars
caught fire from the locomotive Off
cials say the swfteh at the east end
of the siding was opened through mis-
take, and that the responsibility prob
ably lies with some of the crew of
the freight train.
George w. Rudio, In the rear Pull
man from Omaha, with his wife, was
fearfully burned by steam and in spite
of all medical aid died half an hour
after the accident in great agony.
Mrs. Rudio, who was brought to Chi
cago on the relief train was so badly
burned that she died few minutes
after her arrival at st. Luke's Hospital.
An hour before the arrival of the re-
lief train b. o. Nichols of Council
Bluffs, Ia, succumbed to his injuries.
Mr. Nichols was coming to Chicago to
be married on New Years Day to Miss
Grace Stewart of Council Bluffs Mich
OILS tele graphed for his sweetheart to
come to him, but he died a few min
utes after the message had been sent.
Engineer Larrabee, of the passenger
train said tonight that he found it
impossible to check his train till 1t
was too late. He stuck to his engine,
although he could have jumped before
the collision occurred.
The railroad officials will hold an
investigation tomorrow in an effort
to find out who was responsible for the
accident.

To CLEAN THE SLATE
LORD PAUNCEFOTE's WORTHY IN
TENTIONS.
CLEAR UP ALL DIFFERENCES,
ALASKA BOUNDARY AND OTHER
MATTERS.

The Isthmian Canal Question Hav-
ing Been Disposed of Mr.. Hay ana
Lord PauncefOte Will Now En-
deaVor to Get Together on other
Matters Which Have Been Causes
of Friction in the Past-The cues
tiOn of Warships ON the Grear
Lakes and the Atlantic Fisheries
Are Among the Number.
Washington, Dec. 29.-It is expected
that efforts will be renewed before
long for the settlement of the num-
erous controversies which have long
existed between the United States and
Great Britain, growing out of relations
along the Canadian border. the At
iantfc fisheries, wa Shfps on the Great
Lakes, the Alaskan boundary, and
other questions. Heretofore the nego-
tiations designed to secure settlement
of the matters recited have not proven
effective, largely because of the cum
bersome machinery of negotiation, and
this has led to a belief that much
more could be accomplished by direct
negotiations between Secretary Hay and
Lord Pauncefote on the main points
and the subsequent assembling of a
commission representing the United
States, Great Britain and Canada to
give form to the bases of agreement
rendered.
The British authorities have expected
for some time that when the isthmian
canal teraty was once disposed OF
there will be a. removal of efforts to
adjust the Alaskan boundary and
other pending questions, the canal
treaty being regarded as one of the
many pending issues.
Now the British government has
yielded the Clayton -Bulwer treaty ana
other points in the Isthmian negotia-
tions, it desires to take up some of the
other questions in which it has inn
portant interests involved. Lord
Pauncefote desires to clear up all
pending differences and has "a. clean
slate" before his present term as ann
bassador comes to a close. When ne
came to Washington there were four
gerat issues between the two govern
ments. The first of these was the
Bering sea controversy, which hao
reached an acute stage. The second is
sue was over Venezuela, which, like the
seal question, at one time threatened
war. Bur the efforts of diplomacy were
again successful in averting trouble
and bringing about a settlement. The
third important issue was on the 18TH
mian canal which has been satisfacto-
rily disposed of by the recent Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
This leaves only one issue remaining
in order to bring about a "clean slate,
namely, the border controversy, bott
as to Canada and Alaska. At pres
ent modus vivendi exists as to the
Alaskan boundary chiefly for the pur-
pose of avoiding a clash along the
border and holding each side in check
until final boundary is determined
upon. 1t seems to be conceded on
both sides that the modus cannot be
carried on indefinitely and that sooner
or later the main question of estab-
fishing a permanent boundary musl
be settled.

CHAFFEE DENIES IT
- FRICTION BETWEEN CIVIL AND
MILITARY POWERS.
PERFECT HARMONY EXISTS.
u,I1TARY HAS ORDERS TO GIVE
WAY If CLASH ARISES.

on,x TroubIe of the Kind Was i'm the
Case of Oakley Brooks, Where
satisfnctory Solution Was Found.
Acting Governor Wright Is OF
same OpiniOn-Native Leaders Are
DoinG All They Can to H'inE
About Peace, Says the Governor.
Somnr People Were Always I'm
manageable.
Manila. Dec. 29.-Gen. Chaffee, when
questioned to-day by the correspond
ont of the Associated Press concerning
the alleged friction between the civil
and military authorities in the Philip
nine archipelago, said that absolutely
M such friction existed, and that per-
feet harmony prevailed between the
two authorities. General Chaffee said
that the only occasion when there had
been anything approaching friction was
IN the matter of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in the case of Oakley Brooks,
and that upon this occasion a solution
of the difficulty satisfactory to both
authorities had been found.
Gen. Chaffee further explained that
every time the slightest friction had
arisen in the provinces between, the
two authorities he had invariably or
dered the military to surrender to the
civil authority, and said that the rela-
tions of these authorities throughout
the provinces, where they frequently
hold widely opposite opinions, would in
no way interrupt the existing cordial
relations at Manila, where both were
working toward the pacfication and
welfare of the Philippine archipelago.
Gen. Chaffee thought the prospect of
subduing the insurrection in all places
to be promising.
When Acting Governor Wright was
questioned on this same matter he
said
Where men of sense are at the head
of affairs, there is not likely to be
much cause for alarm or friction"
Gov Wright said he was satisfied
that the majority of the Filipinos rec
ognize and appreciate what has been
done and that their leaders were doing
all in their power to bring the remain
ing insurgents to a peaceful view of
the situation.
Concluding, Gov. Wright said the
natives inhabitipg the Island of Sa-
mar had, during all their history, been
an unmanageable race and he was not
surprised at their present hostility.
Maj. Henry Allen, formerly Governor
of the Island of Leyte, and who was
chosen chief Of the insular constabu-
larry, has left Manila for a tour of in
spection through the islands of Leyte
and Mindoro. He will report to the
commission on the conditions existing
there and particularly on the situation
in the province of Misamis, Mindora,
which the military authorities have
asked to have returned from the civil
back to their own control
Five insurgent officers and IT'S men
with six cannon, 81 rifles and II shot
guns surrendered yesterday to the
American authorities on the Island OF
Cebu. 1t is now believed this island Is
pacified.

Order of Louisiana, organized prelim-
inarily in Denver, Dec. 20. has adopted
it's constitution and elected William C.
Ferril of Denver, curator of the Colo
rado State Historical Society," presi-
dent. This is a patriotic hereditary So
ciety and the order may be instituted

disputed question as to whether Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, Texas and
Eastern New Mexico, formed part
of the Louisiana Purchase, the states
were omitted pending further invesu-
cation. The constitution provides an

FORAKER AND HANNA MEN.
The Scramble for Control at Column
bus Grows Hotter and Hotter.


Cincinnati. o., Dec. 29.-The contest
at Columbus during the coming week
between the followers of Senator For
aker and those of Senator Hanna over
the organization of the Legislature
has extended to factional circles else
where in the state
AS the presiding officers, in the ap-
pointment of committees and other
functions, have great influence, the
friends of both senators are seeking
to control those positions as we'll as
all other offices, including the clerk
ships, sergeant-at-arms etc. Foraker
is conceded a reelection two weeks
hence. The Hanna men admit that
they are working for results two years
hence and charge that there is a con-
spiracy to retire Hanna.
Charles L. Kurtz, formerly secretary
to Foraker as Governor and later chair
man of the State Committee, leads the
anti-Hanna forces, and John r. NAL
10y, the present secretary of the State
Committee and state oil inspector un-
der Gov. Nash, leads the Hanna forces.
Both sides claim "a sure thing" and
these claims and counter claims are
expected to continue during the week.
