If the President kicks out Mr.. Bing-
ham, member of the National Committee
from Alabama, because he is held re-
sponsible for the exclusion of negroes
in the Alabama State Convention, where
does Senator Pritchard, member of the
National Committee from North Caro-
lima, stand? He named Captain Charles
Price as temporary chairman of the con-
vention and the Federal office holders APP
plauded Capt Price when he referred to
negro Republicans as 1.-The body of
death" What is the difference between
Senator Prtchard's position and Mr..
Bingham's?
So far as the people of North Carolina
are concerned, Independent of party affl-
liations, they think the President will
take care of him, but the summary de-
capitation of Bingham causes some to be-
lieve that Pritchard's head will go under
the guillotine at the behest of the me-

GREATEST COAL BURNERS.
The United States Leads the World a:
Consumers.

United States Consul Boyle at Liverpool
has furnished the State Department with
some statistics relating to the production.
consumption. imports and exports of coal
in the British empire and principal foreign
countries. which he gathered from a report
on the subject made by the British board
of trade. Quoting from the report, he says:
ut will be seen that the amounts produc-
ed in 1901 were in most cases less than in
the preceding year, although the production
of the United States still continues to in
crease. and has now, for three consecutive
years exceeded that of the united kingdom
The production of Germany represents less
than one-half and that of France and
Belgium together less than one-fourth of
the production of this country.
THE total known coal production of the
world exclusive of brown coaD is now
nearly 700000.OOO tons (of 2,24O pounds)
per annum. of which the united kingdom
produces rather less. and the United States
rather more. than one-third.
LAS compared with its population, the
production of coal in the united kingdom
still surpasses that in the United States
1t amounted to 5k tons per head of the
population in 1900 and 5A tons per head in
1901. while in the United States it is still
only lust over 1-3 tons per head. In Bel
GUM it also amounts to about 1-3 tons
per head: in Germany to rather less than
2 tons per head. and in France to about
four-fifths of ton per head.
'The very slight rise in price which has
accompanied the enormously increased out
put of the United States in recent years is
very striking, and it is of interest to put
side by side the prices Of coal in that coun-
try and in the united kingdom now and
ten years ago.
The united kingdom leads in the matter
of coal exports white the United States
takes the lead in the matter of consump-
ton. In 1901 the United States consumed
255. 1852 900 tons of coal: the united kingdom,
161 1856 tons: Germany, 97,314 600 tons,
and France. A .631 600 tons. 1t is shown
that while the United States leads both in
production and consumption, the united
Kingdom exceeds this country in the value
of the coal mined. Figures for 1901 show
the value of coal produced In three princi-
pal countries as follows: United States,
S463 eco: united kingdom, $512, 435 900;
GERMANY. 1858. $4,000.
In 1901 there were employed in the mines
of the united kingdom 159, 900 men and In
the United States 449. 181, showing that the
production per man in the United States il
far greater than in the united kingdom

lunbia Hotel this morning to view the body
of George G. Vest, jr., son of United States
Senator Vest Of Missouri Death had oc-
CURED between and o'clock this morn
ing, and the circumstances of the case
caused the coroner to at first believe that
apoplexy was the cause of death. The au-
topsy, however disclosed that Mr.. Vest died
of lung trouble.
Major Sylvester, who is an intimate
friend of Senator Vest was among
the first persons to call at the hotel
and afteTward informed the senator
and Mrs. Vest of their sons sudden death.
Last night about o'clock Mr.. Vest called
and registered at the hotel and was assigned
to room 26. About o'clock this morning the
night clerk, Mr.. w. H. Halter, went to his
room in response to a call and attended to
his wants. During their conversation Mr..
Vest complained of being i'll. He had
pain in the back, he said, and also COM
planned of a pain in his stomach. A few
minutes later the heavy breathing of the
sick man attracted attention but the clerk
had no suspicion that his illness was of u
serious nature.
When Mr.. Vests room was visited about
o'clock this morning it was found thar
life was extinct. The Emergency Hospital
physicians were summoned, and Policeman
Eminent responded with them. When the
doctors had passed upon the case the po-
liceman sent for the coroner and also
ranged to notify the parents of the de-
ceased. Undertaken J. William Lee was
sent for and he removed the body to his
establishment on Pennsylvania avenue.
Leaves Wife and Two Children.
The deceased was about thirty-eight years
old and was married. His wife and two
children are at Harrisonville. Nd. They

England's Sea Power.
I'M the Chautauquan Magazine.

In 1858 Elizabeth. the last of the Tutors
assembled the English throne. Her long
reign of forty-ffve years was character lied
by great growth of national spirit, cul-
minatfng at length In the complete cstab-
lishment OF England's maritime supremacy.
There is no disgusting the fact that this
supremacy had it's beginning in what was
little better than piracy.
The mariners of Elizabeth's time were a
hardy. venturesome and not particularly
conscientious class of men. whose primary
interest was to fill their purses, and who
cared as little as they knew about the theo-
logical controversies of the day. If their
operations In the Channel were directed
chiefly against the Spaniards. It was not SO

steam and other gases may be ascribed to
the dimfnutfon of atmospheric pressure
Ordinarily air pressure is about fifteen
pounds per square inch, with a barometer
at thirty inches. A fall of 29.5 Is. there
fore, drop of one-sixtieth, or reduction
in the weight OF the atmosphere of one
pound for every four square inches. On a
single square mile this would amount to
over one thousand million pounds or
rather less than 5099o0 tons There is good
reason TO believe that the outrush of steam
and gas from volcanoes depends, as In coal
mines, to large eextent on air pressure
and such fall in the weight over every
square mile of surface might conceivahIy
produce large effects in the deep cayerns

as because he more frequently than any one
else was to be found upon the waters with
a richly laden vessel. Spain at the opening
of Elizabeths reign was undaniably the
leading maritime power of the world. Her
trade with the coast countries of Europe
was considerable, but she owed her cora
mercial position, in the main, TO Eer Ameri-
can empire.
The Spaniard might have .outwitted the
Englishman In acquiring the first right 10

the Spaniard as he bore away his booty

would not be quite certain that the Span

ABOUT FIGHTING DOGS.

The so-called sport of fighting dogs is
supposed to be one of the pastimes Of
brutal men that has been relagted to
oblivion. In nearly every state in the
Union the statutes provides heavy fine
and imprisonment for those who en-
courage the fighting of vicious animals,
but Despite the vilance of the au-
thorities the sport" is encouraged to
certain extent and dog pits are to be
found in neary every city. Fighting
dogs are trained to MAIN and tear each
other and the owners of the animals
use care and skill in the handling of
the brutes.
Within 10 minutes ride of the police
headquarters is one of the most up-to
date training pens to be found in the
country. In the cellar of an old colo
NAL mansion where at one time was
stored barrels and casks Of wine and
cider, is to be found a curious-loOking
wheel inside of a huge cage and every
night this wheel Is made to revolve by
the eXertions of a strong-limbed bull
terrier that is being trained for fight
which is scheduled to be pulled off near
Boston before Christmas. On this fight
will be wagered hundreds of dollars
and it is dollars to lead nickles that
one of the dogs will be killed before he
leaves the ring.
A Telegram reporter was allowed to
witness the course Of training given a
strong -limbed bull dog last night, and
for nearly two hours the animal was
compelled to keep the wheel turning
nF he
dog was taken from the cage and given
a thorough rub down in alcohol, dried
out and then allowed to rest on soft
blanket In the morning he will be
permitted e to run loose over the hill
and rough country roads. A light meal
at noon, then a rest of three hours be-
fore another turn at the wheel.
Mine out of 10 persons are of the
opinion that all dogs will fight, but this
is an erroneous impression" said the
trainer and handler of the fighting ami
NAL. THE bull terrier of the screw tail
variety does not posses sufficient cour-
age to whip a sick cat, and he would
not be able to hold his own for a minute
with a scrappy bull We never think
of training that breed, because they
could not remain III tne ring OF StanQ
the work on the wheel
Just take a good look at this dog
You will notice that his teeth meet in
an even line and his nose tapers slight
ly The back parts Of his jaw is wide
and strong and when he gets his hold
he will stay there until the other dog is
unable to continue the battle.
Another point about fighting dog
is the tail. This part Of the animal
must be thin and taper like whip at
the end A dog with a thick tail is not
supposed to possess the requisite
amount of courage, and it has been de-
monstrated in fights time and again
that the dog with the thin tail exhibits
the most courage.
