PRODUCTION OF COAL.
Estimates of Government Geological
 Survey

Washington, Oct. 16.-The United States Geological Survey estimates the worlds production of coal in 1901 at S66, 165, $40 short tons. The three great coal produc- ing countries of the world are the United States. Great Britain and Germany. Aus tria-Hungary comes fourth, France is fifth. Belgium sixth and Russia seventh The last country. notwithstanding It's vast area, produces only about 6 per cent as much coal as the United States.
 Prior to 1899 Great Britain led among the worlds coal producers, but during 1899. 1900 and 1901 the United States has made such remarkable increases in coal productions, due principally to the unpre- cedented 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 1s6 per cent.

MINERS WILL
 MEET MONDAY
-

the Railway Conductors Whether Mir. Mitchell suggested these among other names of the men who would be satis- actory to him, could not be ascertained. It Is understood that those named as members of the commission have indi- cated to the President their willingness to accept the trust imposed upon them.
 Place Of Sitting.
 It has not been determined at this time when or where the commission will hold it's slttings. It is stated at the details to be worked out when formal acceptance of the arbitration commission shall have been received from the min CTS.
 Naturally. 1t is assumed that the head quarters of the commission will be in Washington but 1t is entirely likely that some. at least a part, of its proceedings, will be held in New York and in the coal regions, probably at Wilkesbarre.
 The report of the commission will be made to the President. and by him Will be communicated to the parties to the controversy, and to the general public. It will be noticed that the names of the members as announced in the official statement given out at the White House follows, to some extent the classlfica tion suggested in the proposition of the coal operators. It was thought all along If | the miners should agree to the proposi- | ton of the operators as made to the Pres | ident Monday that the classification of distinguished engineering officer of the army or navy, would be restricted to the | army, and General Wilson's name was | the first suggested in that connection. Other Names Suggested. The other names seriously mentioned in -R operators than an expert mining engi- | neer should be one of the members, were Dr. David T. Day. chief of the division of mineral resources of the geological sur vey and MT Parker, one of his assistants and perhaps the best authority on coal in the United States.
 Two of the six members viz: General Wilson and MT. Parker and the Recorder, Commissioner of Labor Wright. live in this city and they are ready to begin their labors at any time. The others, 1t is expected, will be able to come here without delay and promptly begin the labors of the commission. MT. Parker today is in New Haven, Conn. where he Is attending the convention of the Amer lean Institute of Mining Engineers. He Is member of the Executive Council of this organization. The work of the com mission will be exhaustive and will take considerable time.
 It is the presidents desire that the in quiry be very thorough and the commis- sion perform the labors set before 1t so completely as to secure not only a final adjustment of the present troubles, but also to furnish a basis upon which simi- lar great labor troubles may be averted in the future. Its first step will be to or sanize and select a chairman to preside Who fhic will he of course, is rot settled, but depends on the individual members of the body.
 General Wilson. formerly chief of the engineer corps of the army, however, heads the list of members and may be chosen as chairman of the commission.
