The Coal Strike.

Today begins the eighteenth week of the
coal strike with many signs in the air
portending that the end is near at hand
This is also the opening of the second
week following Senator Platts emphatic
and repeated prophecy of the termination
of the deadlock within a fortnight at most.
Statements are in circulation on APP
parenty good authority that the opera
tors propose Offering the miners a ten per
cent advance as individuals. hoping that
the men will return to work without ref
erenCe to the wishes of the unions. The
most significant fact of all, however, is the
steady increase in the output of hard coal
during the past week. According to one
report fifteen companies produced a total OF
10000 tons, an increase of 20,O00 tons
over the week previous, and there were in
diCatiOns that the output will reach 10000
tons during the week now opening. There
were signs of unusual activity at many OF
the colleries yesterday, in evident prep
aration for more general resumption of
work. OF course the output of coal a pres
ent is very far below the normal and at
the present rate of increase il will be sew
eral months before even the current supply
is maintained not to speak Of the heavy
arrearageS due to the seventeen weeks of
non-production which have thus far
elapsed. But the reinsurance to the
public in the fact that coal is being mined
at all. and in increasing amounts, Is sur-
ficient to allay present apprehensions.

Girls as Messengers.

Chicago is not alone in its interest in the
experiment which the Western Union Tele-
graph Company is trying in that city In
the substitution of girls for boys In the de-
livery Of messages. Other places are anx-
ious to know how this plan will succeed,
how fast the girls can travel, how they wifi
fare In their rather rough task If the
Chicago plan justifies itself there is no
reason why 1t may not be applied in other
cities. The Chicago change from boys to
girls was caused by strike among the
former, who had organized a union. At

The Perennial eastern Question"

Russia proposes to force the Darda-
nelles' by sending through those politically
troubled waters four torpedo boats under
a commercial flag, despite the refusal of
the porte to grant permission. Turkey de-
clares that she will appeal to the other
powers of Europe and a reopening of the
dangerous eastern question" is thus threat
ened. There can be little doubt that Rus
STA is more anxious to raise the issue than
to secure the transfer of her torpedo boats
from the Black sea to the Mediterranean.
Four such small craft are a mere trife

down the prohibition against her use of the
Turkish straits for warshipS. An appeal

Germany and Haiti.

There would seem to be no occasion for
International complications in the action of
Germany in summarily Furnishing the Fir
min party of Haiti for stopping a German
steamer laden with munitions of war for
the rival government. The action was
drastic and surprising. but it is far from
likely to lead to a serious diplomatic situa-
ton. Just the other day Commodore Nc

boat and relieved of her cargo of arms and
ammunition. despite the protests OF the
German consul. No new blockade had been
proclaimed. as far as known, nor had there
been any increase in the means for main

an International point OF view, was pre-
cisely the same as when Admiral Killick
commanding the Firminite navy, acknowI-
edged mis- inability to blockade Haiti and
promised the American commander that
there would be no further interference with
foreign commerce The seizure of the

No Sham Battle This Year.

How many people are really in earnest who
talk about advantages to the democracy to
be derived from letting the republicans hold

many y few may feel that way, but others
are INDUCING in such sentiments to call at

manager in the democratic party want u

or another to that end. They would be
very poor politicians If they undervalued
the opportunity, or. in grasping 1t. failed to
do their utmost TO achieve success. We may
believe therefore that Chairman Griggs and
all Of his lieuteHants are not only in dead
earnest. but are putting up the best battle
within their power If they win, they will
have accomplished a notable result. If they
lose. who shall say that any other man
ayers could have done better?
1t is true. Of course, that a democratic
House could accomplish nothing in the way
of legislation on important issues as against

A Carelessly Guarded Magazine.

The explosion of a quantity of govern
ment powder in a magazine near Boston
raises a question of the extent to which
these stores of explosives are guarded in
the vicinity of large cities. 1t appears
that the magazine had been very slightly
protected for some time. The island on
which it was located was the subject of
negotiations between the government and
the city of Boston, with a view to its pos
sible lease as a pleasure resort. Crowds of
people had been tramping about the place
all day yesterday other Sundays for
some months past One lone guard was in
charge of the six tons of powder. Small
boys built fires in the underbrush and the
guard had put out several of these fires.
But he could not keep pace with the en-
terprise of the agile youngsters. Just
whether the explosion was due to this
cause or not remains a question. The only
certain thing is that there has evidently
been great laXity in the premises and that
1t behooves the government to look closely
into the conditions at other magazines and
to take precautions to keep the public at
safe distance from all stores of explosives.
