Renewed Efforts to Restore Peace in
Colombia.

1t is learned here that renewed efforts are
making for understanding between the
Colombian government and the revolution
airy junta in New York that viii result in
a termination of the hostilites which have
been in progress for such a long time in
the republic. Former attempts in that
direction failed because the government re-
garded the demands of the junta as pre-
pesterous. and refused to accede to them.
General Vargas Santos. one of the leaders
of the revolution is now in New York.
The scene of hostRities In Colombia Is
said now TO be confined to the Isthmus of
Panama, where the government has about

VIRGINIA COAL OUTPUT
Last Years Product Broke the Rec
ord

According to report prepared by Off
Gals OF the geological survey and now
ready for issue the production of coal In
Virginia exceeded that of any earlier year
In the history of Its coal mines. A total Of
2,725.S73 tons is given. with a spot value
Of $2,353 $50. Other interesting statements
Of the report follow:
Virginia Is included in the number of
coal-producing states whose product in thu
first year Of the twentieth century exceeds
that of any previous year. In 1899 yir
ginia exceeded for the first time a total
product Of 100000 short tons The pro-
duction of 1901 exceeded that of 1900 NV
2S7 1868 short tons. or 1871 per cent, and la01
shows an increase over 1900 Of 332, 1le short
tons, or 1873 per cent.
There are really two important coaI-
producing counties in the state-Tazewsu
and Wise" says the report The product
Of Tazewell county In 1900 was interruntad
to a considerable extent by labor tronhlas
The production of this county decrea cod
nearly 100000 tons. This was more than
made up however, by the increased ctiyjtv
in the Wise county mines, especially along
the Church river division of the NorfoiE
and Western railroad. The product In wtsa
county in 1901 showed an increase of over
$50, 900 tons. or over 40 per cent, more than
that of 1900.

FOR THE JOINT MANEUVERs.
Four of the Arbitrators Have Been
Named

The army and navy have appointed their
arbitrators to make the decision In the
joint maneuvers on the Atlantic coast In
September. The War Department has Sc
lected Brigadier General Tasker H Bliss
and Lieutenant Colonel John P. Story Of
the artillery corps. The navy has select
ed Rear Admiral Philip H. Cooper, who
has been on special duty in connection with
the defenses Of the Atlantic coast and
Capt. William Swift, a member Of the gen.
eral board.
Major General Macarthur, commanding
the department of the east. and Rear Ad-
mtral Higginson. commanding the North
Atlantic squadron, the two officers in di-
rect supervision of the maneuYers have
been charged with the selection of the
fifth arbitrator.
AS already stated, umpires will be sta
toned on each of the ships and at the forts
to make decisions of individual work but
the board of arbitrator named above Is to
be charged with the announcement of the
final decision as to whether the army or
the navy has been victorious.
The four officers named are recognized
tactical experts. There Is some specula-
ton rife as to the personality Of the fifth
arbitrator. who will, Of course, be either
naval or an army officer. This position
undoubtedly will be very difficult one to
fill to the satisfaction Of both Sides

GREAT BUILDING YEAR
LARGE INCREASE IN NUMBER OF
PERMITS.
New York First in the Value of Its
New structures-s13e, o51 ,ee7-
Average Value Being $17,76e.

According to statistics recently compiled,
the past year was one Of the greatest per-
iods for city building the country has ever
KNOWN But sanguine officials believe the
current year may eclipse the past and es-
tablISh new record for modern times.
A bulletin just issued by the United States
geological survey treats Of the marvellous
~ extensive building operations throughout
the country. 1t is stated that of the fifty
five largest cities of the country, forty two
cities reported that the number of building
permits issued in 1901 was S55n as COM
pared with 6S,4i7. in 1890 a gain of II 1874
or 25!01 per cent. The value of the build
ings erected ON these permits rose from
s241 sig. 5S5 in 1900 to 1912. 173 631 in 1901,
a gain of $3.50, G57, O46 or "a 90 per cent The
average value of the buildings, assuming
that one permit was issued for each build
ing. was $3.50 in 1900. and s4,343 in 1901.
Most Permits Issued in Philadelphia.
Although the city of New York was first
in the value of its buildings In 1901. with
$138 05l, 6eI. the number of permits was
1056 less than in Philadelphia, where the
value Of the buildings was 500 $40 ITO, and
lSpo more than in Chicago. where the
value of the buildings was s34 962 075. The
average value of the buildings erected in
New York in 1901 was s17,76S; in Chicago
II was 3D. 20, anu III fnllaQelpnld $5,oSS.
The Brick Used.
The report next details the great activity
in the building brick industry saying that
the total value of the brick used for this
purpose was s51 ,o4S.G53, as compared with
SAB Gsa,512 in 1900, an increase of 1874 per
cent; with $45. ,025 In 1899, and with

streets. A large throng of spectators had
assembled along the edge Of the ellipse to
welcome the men in uniform.
Without loss of time the troops were
formed for brigade parade. The guards
men were in heavy marching order, with
shelter tents, blanket rolls and hayersacks
Even though thus burdened, and notwith-
standing the fact that they had been oc-
cupied with field maneuyers all of Friday
night and had had no sleep to speak of
since Thursday night. the men of the guard
made a most creditable showing. The sew
eral commands were formed in line Of
masses across the ellipse, Capt. Alfred p.
Robbins. aidde-camp, acting adjutant
general. The parade was followed by the
beautiful ceremony of trooping the colors
All the flags in the line were taken to the
front and center by the respective color
sergeants and color guards The brigade,
headed by the commanding general and
staff, then passed by. giving a marching
salute to the colors.
When the ceremonies on the White Lot
had been concluded the several comma nds
proceeded to their quarters and were dis
missed, a very tired but otherwise thor
oughly satisfied set of guardsmen. 1t
seemed to be the unanimous opinion that
the encampment was, beyond question, the
most instructive and successful from every
standpoint, in the history of the District Of
Columbia National Guard.
