THE STRIKE sETTLEwExr


 Next Thursday is now said to be the day when the miners will go to work. There is some disquieting talk about the opposition to the plan of settlement, but it is not believed that there will be serious opposition. It is reasonably pointed out that President Mitchell knows the sentiment of the men. and would not have agreed to the proposi- tion had he had any doubt that dele gate convention would ratify his action. One of the troublesome matters to De dealt with is that of finding work inn mediateIy for all of the strikers. Every man wants his old place back, but as the companies have decided to take care of all men who have stood by them during the strike there will be some disappointments. This matter will be fought out on the floor of the conven- tion. Officers of the union confidently believe that it will be amicably adjust ed. It is thought probable that the del- egates will decide to care for all men who are not given work at once.
 It Is earnestly to be hoped that there Will be no trouble about the settlement. Any further delay now would deprive those who should make it of public sympathy Such weather as that which came down yesterday increases the ten dency of the patient public to sympa- thiZe with itself.

UGH COAL JN CHINA.

There is coal in Pennsylvania, and the indications now are that there will soon
 be some in New Haven. While we are patiently waiting for some it is mildly cheering to read that pr.

Yet generating steam. The means of trans portation from the interior, where the mines are, to the waterways, are so poor that it does not pay to ship coal more than twenty-five miles overland. At present steamships at Shanghai are coaling with the product of European mines. This state of affairs urges the necessity of the development of the re- sources of that vast eastern empire. With greater coal deposits than any other nation and with labor at rate so low as to be almost nominal, China, given few lines of railroad would it is pointed out, be in position to pre- vent the possibility of "a coal famine anywhere.

Coal fields have been discovered within one hun dred and fifty miles of Victoria falls. and it is believed that the improvements in long-distance transmission of cleo tricity will enable the company to oper- ale railroad to them also and furnish power for the mines.
 With railroads and electricity it will not be long before Africa is fully civil ized. Perhaps it will soon have a great coal strike.

BENTON MILL MOYE.

People who live "out West" aren't
 afraid to move. Benton. Nebraska is located on the Platte river, and for
 some time has been hoping to become
 railroad center. When the announce
 ment came the other day that the rail-
 road would cross the river three miles farther down, Benton promptly decided
 to move; not merely to move in spirit, but in substance also, including houses, stores, buildings, everything. Nothing will be left behind. except the natural scenery which was there when the vil- lage was built. If the railroad will not come to us, then we will go to the railroad" said Benton. According to the residents of the place, it will be cheaper to move the town than to buy lumber and build new houses The houses, which are all frame and we'll built, will be raised from their founda- tions and wheeled down to the river, where they will be placed on a large fatboat, which has served for years as @ ferry. This undertaking will be post poned until a spring freshet makes the stream as deep as possible.
 In its new location Benton is to be the center of rich agricultural coun- try which will draw on territory for miles around. The Platte valley at that point is nine miles wide to the north and seven miles wide to the south. Success to Benton. It knows what it wants.

The new Africa is an enterprising place, at least in spots. A great im- pulse will be given to the development of industries in Rhodesia by the com pletion of the project for the utilization of the water power of the Victoria falls of the river Zambesi, in South Africa. These falls are comparable with our Niagara falls in height of fall and vol ume of water, and can be similarly de- veloped by the electrician. It is pro- posed by capitalists to adapt the falls to the generation of electrical energy to be conveyed to near-b by coal and copper mines and utilized in operating the lat ter. It is said that the syndicate will expend about $3,O0O,OOO in constructing a plant similar to that at Niagara falls The contract provides for the comple- tion of the plant in three years.

 Yes'm'" Have you ever seen a stout Woman?' "Oh. yes'm: Mrs. Brown is very stout, said one girl. Right" said the teacher. "Now look at me! I am not stout. am I?" "No'm," came the chorus of voices. Well, If I am not stout, what am I?" A perplexed look overspread the faces. Finally one little fellow ventured to raise his hand Well, Freddie, do you think I'm stout?' "No'm."

BLAME LAID ON UNCLE SAM
For the Frequent Wrecks at the Mouth of
LudingtOn HarbOr.

Ludington Mich, Jan. 22-The
stranding and probable less of the
Pere Marquette steamer No. calls
renewed attention to the necessities Of
of navigation at this point The bar
on which the wreck lies is caused by
the current carrying land debris out
side the channel. Three hundred feet
outside the current loses its force and
drops the sand which forms bar.
There is seventeen feet Of water on
this bar in calm weather, but heavy
seas reduce the depth of the water on
the bar to eleven feet, and sometimes
to ten feet
The bar is right where vessels from
the southwest must turn to enter the
channel. In Il southwest gale the cur
rent flows hard 10 the north and makes
entering the harbOr dOubly difficult.
Sand is washing ont Of the harbor be
