At any rate, the coal is there. and its
presence on the coast has been the sal
vatian of more than one hardy whaling
crew nipped in the Arctic ice and
obliged otherwise to spend the long
frozen half-year night without fuel
Yet even if this underground slow COM
bustion is going on, it will be centuries
before the supply of fuel is eXhaused,
or indeed we'll afire. Meanwhile, is the
region of almost perpetual winter, the
terrible frozen north which explorers
have died in vain attempts to pene-
trate, the repository whence the world
is to draw it's ultimate supply of fuel?
1t seems strange, but why not? AL
ready the miner is camped upon its
edges and the prospector is tramping
toward its frozen heart from many di-
rections. The vast impulse which the
discoveries of rich bold bearing terri
tory in Northern Alaska has given to
the exploration and working of this re-
gion, the settlement of the region be-
meath the Arctic circle now rapidly goo
ing on and the great demand there for
fuel for domestic purposes and for min
ing is turning the eyes of the shrewd
pioneers of the worlds industries
toward the all but unoknown Arctic
coal fields, and their development is al
ready vaguely begun. Shiploads of this
coal, blasted from the face Of the cliffs
or picked up on the berg battered
beaches. already reach Nome, Port
Clarence and other Arctic coast towns,
where its need is great. The quality
more nearly resembles camel coal than
anything else l have seen.
Hoodlum the Eskimo, whom the coal
bag bogies were chasing up the beach,
escaped them in safety and lived to tell
the tale about the lamp in the winter
igloo. But that night or, rather, at
sleep time, for there is no night in thar
country in summer, after having been
chased into the sea by a last and par
ticularly vicious coal sack, Hoodlum
appeared before the captain and rue
fully explained that he must give up
his job. He liked the pay of tobacco,
flour, ammunition and cloth passing

An Incredible supposition.

From the New York Times.
As to the bitumlnous miners of Penn
sylvana. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois they
are working under an agreement To run
until June 1905 1t Is an agreement
reached ut the indianapolis joint conven-
tion which lasted from Jan. 20 to Feb, 3.
AIr, Mitchell stands pledged in the most
uneuuivocal way concerning the sacred
tory To labor, provided they were entered
into nndorstandinsly and with open eyes.
lf he shall permit any branch of The
union with which lie Is con,,ected to re-
pudialc formal contract by declaring a
strike. he would deliberately undo the
creative work OF years ana doom the
United Mine Workers to inevitable dis
solution. IL It cannot he trusted to keep
its agreements, mine owners have no rea-
son for recognizing II or dealing with II.
The pretensc of effective cooperation in
Michigan and West Virginia is little more
than bluff. as to the other four
states named, the risk Is wholly disprO-
portiOned to the possible benefits to the
anthracite miners, whose only argument
for recognition and the execution of for
NAL agreements with them would he re-
futed by unanswerable evidence of the
worthlcssness of promises for which the
United Mine Workers may become re-
sponsibe. In endeavorlng to bring about
"A sympa thotic strike In the bituminous
districts, MI Mitchell would be burning
his bridges. No one who knows him and
Is familiar with the situation really he
lieves that lie has any such idea or pur-

APPLE BLOSSOMS.


They We're only apple-blossoms,
But they meant so much to me:
For they came from DER the mountains
Where the world is wild and free.
And they hold within their folding
Many hopes. and joys, and tears.
And had not felt their presence
For so many weary years.
All. those fair sweet apple-bossoms-
thoughts their fragrance brings to me,
or n past all uncompleted
And a future ne'er to be-
VI Il past begun in Spring-time
When the applebuds We're pink,
And life flowed in golden sunshine
Down to winters icy brink
Where it lies all unforgven.
l'nforgivng. cold and dead;
Memory of a past undyin.,
h'Tho' its spirit long has fled.
y We rare. sweet ple-blossoms.

of promoting It's own interests, could
reduce or totally suppress from the
American tariff the import duties on all
articles whose exportation to cuba on
Il large scale 1t may be advantageous
to promote. The cuban tariff on such
American products under the agree
nent could not be greater than the
rates imposed by the United states
upon the like articles imported from
cuba The rates imposed by the United
States would be nothing. The Cuban
rates could not be greater BY the
terms of the commercial agreement
with the United states cuba would be
barred from placing any duty on such
articles. however necessary some duty
might be either for revenue or for the
protection OF her. domestic industries.
The particular Industries affected by
this result would be ruined. All other
industries would be injured In greater
or less degree. The customs receipts
would fall off. The deficit In customs
receipts could be covered only by the
imposition OF direct or some other class
of taxes. which would render much
more difficult the solution of the pres
ent economic problem in cuba"
To effect such q subterfuge would re-
qure the cooperation OF the American
executive, something not likely to be
given at least during the present adj
ministration: but IN view OF the dis
position manifested in the present con-
sress on this subject we do not wonder
that the business interests OF cuba are
suspicious. We cannot think that this
chapter in American legislation will
look well in history. We doubt that it
will receive many signs of popular favor
when those responsible for 1t go for re-
election before the people.
