The awarding of the $4,000, 900 con-
tract for the erection of the Chelsea
power plant of the YerEes system of
London transit to an American COM
pany was an industrial victory that
people in this country do not seem
to appreciate. This time the Yankees
had to meet the opposition of all
Europe. The Europeans realized that
much more than the amount of the
contract was at stake, and they made
up their minds to win at any cost.
But they lost just the same, and the
American bogyman has acquired new
terror.

The extent that the short crops of
last season affected our exports is
seen in the falling off in the amount
Of S22,oo0,oOo during May and $92, $780,
600 during the II months compared
with the same periods a year before.
The loss is mainly due to the short
crop of corn and oats and the lower
price of cotton. During the II months
of the fiscal year the amount of corn
exported was 100000 bushels and
of oats 26,O00,O00 bushels. Although
100000 bales more of cotton were ex-
ported, the value was less by So, o00,-
coo.

water in the channel is 40 feet deep,
and the current is very strong. The
boys did not come to the surface
again after they sank for the last
time.

THE COAL STRIKE.
Third Month of IdIeness Begins
An Outline of the Sit
uatiOn.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, July z. - To-
day will begin the third month of
the great coal strike. There have been
many rumors and opinions published
that certain coal companies would
within a few days attempt to start
up one or more collieries. The Off
Gals of the big companies who are
willing to talk, deny all knowledge
of any attempt of their respective
companies to start work. They say,
however, that the number of men APP
plying for work is growing larger each
week. Many of them are given en-
ployment, and the names of the others
are placed on the waiting list. The
number of miners among the appli-
cants who are applying for work is
very small, and so long as the miners
themselves refrain from going to the
collieries, no coal can be mined. Of
the $4,000 men and boys employed
about the mines, approximately $4,000
are miners. Under the laws of the
state, no company can employ man
to cut coal unless he has miners GER
tifcate, showing that he has had two
years experience in the anthracite
mines. These certificates are award
ed by examining boards composed of
miners appointed by the county
courts. Therefore, if 100000 men and
boys were willing to return they could
not lawfully operate collieries unless
the striking miners also went to work
