THE PRODUCTION OF COAL.
The United States Stands Far In the Lead
of All Competitors In the Output
F'' Of Black Diamonds.

Washington, Oct. 17.-The United
States geological survey estimates
the worlds production of coal in 1901
at $3.50, 1865, $40 short tons. The three
great coal-producing countries of the
world are the United States, Great
Britain and Germany. Austria-Hun-
gary comes fourth, France Is fifth and
Russia seventh. The last country,
Notwithstanding its vast area, pro-
duces only about six per cent. as
much coal as the United States. Dur
ing 1899, 1900 and 1901 the United
States made such remarkable in
creases in coal production, due prin-
cipally to the unprecedented activity
in the iron and steel and in other
metal trades, that it now stands far
in the lead of all competitors with
a production in 1901 exceeding that
of Great Britain by 47,965,93S short
tons, or 10 per cent.

BRITISH COMMENTS.
Settlement Of the American Coal
Strike an Absorbing Topic.
RO0SEvELT'S ACTION GOOD LESSON
American Trades Unionlsm, BY Securing .
Reference to Arbitration, Has Achieved
Precedent which May BE Far.
Reaching, the Telegraph says.

London, Oct. I7.-"The Presidents
Triumph" is the subject Of long dis
patches and editorial articles in all
the morning papers, and in some
cases congratulations are also ex-
tended to ]. Pierpont Morgan. The
opinions expressed are a measure Of
relief felt in England. The Standard
says: British consumers have more
than an altruistic interest in the
settlement Of the strike for, had it
lasted another month, the cost Of coal
might have risen here to an unwel-
come figure"
The Daily News and the Daily
Chronicle contend that President
Roosevelt's action is a great lesson
for British statesmen.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Amer-
lean trades unionism by securing a
reference to arbitration has achieved
a precedent which may be far-reach-
ing, for it suggests Enthusiastically
that the spread of labor organize
tons across the Atlantic may prove
to be a more rapid and powerful
check upon the trusts than either
tariff reform or federal amendment"
The Times in an editorial article
says: ut would be interesting to
know what considerations President
Roosevelt pressed upon Mr.. Mitchell
in the final interview. They must
have been weighty ones to compel
what is really an unconditional sur
render and to convince Mr.. Mitchell
that his game was hopeless. In q
most quiet and unobtrusive manner
the president has done a very big
and entirely new thing. We are wit
Messing not merely the ending Of the
coal strike, but the definite entry of
a powerful government upon q novel
sphere of operation. President
Roosevelt did not assume his task
as an amateur mediator. He did
not enter upon it without counting
the cost, or without the support Of
convictions and ideas far outrun-
ming the ostensible subject matter
OF his action. His personal prestige
and reputation are enormously en-
HANGED by the immediate public serv-
Ice he has rendered; and they will
be UNNECESSARILY enhanced when the
people grasp, as they
will, the far larger issues in
in his striking departure from
precedent"
Then, referring to the dangers of
the article concludes with
these words: "Let the Americans
stick to their president and strength
en- his hands. II there is any living
man who can show them the way
out Of the dangers threatening them,
that man is Mr.. Roosevelt"

West POINT CADETS.
The Efforts to Abolish Hazing
Showing Good Results.
JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERALS REPORT


Washington, Oct. 17.-Col. A. L.
Mills, superintendent Of the United
States military academy, has made
his annual report to the secretary
of war. He says that the discipline
Of the corps of cadets Of the acad-
envy has been very satisfactory
throughout the year. He makes the
following reference to hazing:
During the year there has been
no relaxation Of proper effort to
make permanent the reforms al
ready accomplished bearing on the
treatment accorded new cadets by
their older comrades. The regula-
tons governing the subject have
been carefully enforced, and, with
but a Single exception, that is worthy
OF note, cadets have shown a SOL
dierly regard for their obligations in
the matter. The exception referred
to-the first under the new regula-
tions-is that of a cadet who, without
authority, made a fourth-class man
assume a constrained position and
used threatening and abusive Ian
guage to him. For this offense the
cadet was brought to trial by court
martial and, being found guilty, vas
dismissed. No one conversant with
the progress new cadets now make
%apprehend any ill-etfect in training
from the passing of hazing."
The maximum number of cadets ID
492. The academic year opens with
All cadets, divided into four classes.
The health Of the cadets has been
very good, although the barracks
have been overcrowded. The board
Of health has reported that a great
deal Of malaria has existed which was
transmitted by mosquitoes.
Judge Advocate General Lemley's Report.
Washington, Oct. 17.-In his an
nual report to the secretary Of the
navy Judge Advocate General Lemley
urges certain matters of legislation
which are very much desired by the
navy. He is anxious that courts
martial should have the power to
compel the attendance of civilian wit
nesses and that the same tribunals
be allowed to use dispositions. He al
10 wishes to consolidate examining
and retiring boards and to empower
commanding officers Of naval stations
in the island possessions of the
United States to convene general
courts-martial. Their inability in
this matter now gives rise to great
inconvenience and delay in the adj
ministration of justice.
The system of probation for sailor
prisoners adopted in the service at
Capt. Lemley's instance is shown by
figures to have worked well and to be
of the greatest benefit and value to
the service.

SEQUEL TO A DIVORCE SUIT.
and His Little Daughter and Tried
to Kill Himself.

Mount Pleasant, Mich, Oct. 17.--As
the bloody sequel Of a divorce suit
Archie Woodin, 20 years old, is under
arrest here charged with a triple
murder and this community was
shocked yesterday by a bloody trag-
edy in which Mrs. Woodin's parents
and the prisoners 1S-months-old
daughter were shot and killed.
Woodin visited the courthouse yes
terday morning about nine o'clock
and looked over the papers in a suit
for divorce which his wife instituted
October 10. From there he went d.
rectly to Isabelrs hardware store,
where he purchased a revolver.
There was no interruption in his ca
reer of crime from the moment his
hands let go Of the legal papers in
the courthouse until his victims lay
dead in two farm houses six miles
apart. Having secured the weapon,
he first rode his wheel to the Gulick
farm, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Gulick
being the first victims shot. The
murderer then dashed madly to his
mothers home, six miles away.
Passing the time of day with a group
Of apple-pickers on his mothers
farm, he entered the house as though
nothing unusual had happened and,
picking up his little girl, carried her
into an empty room. In a moment
a shot rang out. Woodin was over-
powered just as he had turned the
revolver upon himself and had in
ficted a wound that is not expected
to prove fatal.
