WHILE THE anthracite strike Is
shrinking the revenues of the coal carry
ing roads, it is proving very profitable
to some ocean steamship lines. Con-
sjderablv over 100, 900 tons of foreign
coal have already been contracted Tor
and many regular lines are under char
ter to bring coal from Wales on their
westward runs at rates which have never
before been paid. Instead OF waiting at
Liverpool or other ports for miscellaneous
cargoes the vessels are being hurried To
Swansea. Port Talbot or Cardiff, where
thousands of tons of Welsh coal are
dumped into their holds in few hours,
and they are then dispatched to this side
of the Atlantic. Freights to New York,
Philadelphia and Boston which were
Sl.75 per ton q week ago, are now
quoted at S2.15 per ton. The British
vice Consul at Chicago said in recent
interview that England could fill every
coal bin in the Uuited States II this
should prove true, much apprehension
Will be relieved when it is known that
the people of this county will not, after
all, be defendant upon the Pennsylvania
mines this winter.

THE proceedings of the English
Church Congress in London few days
ago will be read with interest by all who
are watching the signs of the times.
Bishops and noted clergymen were out
spoken in their disbelief of the Bible,
the book from which they have been
preaching for years. One of the men,
bers of the Congress compared the sa-
cred writings to Shakespeare's Macbeth,
another implied that the scriptures were
morally unwholesome and scientifically
incorrect, and another was bold in de-
claring that the Bible could no longer be
regarded as the standard of morals.
This manifestation of unbelief in revela-
ton will naturally have its effect upon
the laity, and the query, "When the
Son of Man comes shall he find faith on
the earth?' is pertinent. The declara-
tons of the bishops and clergymen re-
ferred to have been answered often, and
those who adopt all that has been writ
ten in both the Old and New Tesla
ments will not have their faith shaken
by the criticisms referred to above.

THE CORN CROP in the West is i'm
monse butlmeat prices are still slow to
drop. Apologists for the beef trust
excused the exorbitant advances in quo
tatious on the ground that the supply of
maize from the fields in 1901 was so
scanty that the BENEVOLENT and philan-
thropic packers who dominate the ranches
and the stockyards were compelled to
send the figures for meat of every kind
soaring skyward. There is now, or
soon will be, so much corn in the West
that it will undoubtedly be burned for
fuel in place of high priced coal and
wood in the coming winter. But have
the meat trust schedules for beef and
mutton and pork been cut down to an
extent reasonably in proportion to the
prospects of the corn crop? The public
spirit of the beef trust is an unfailing
determination to grab everything which
can be laid hold of by hook or by crook.

A MODEL ARMY Posi-. On the old
arsenal grounds at Washington the gov
eminent is to erect one of the finest mill
tary posts in the East and convert the
old parade grounds of the artillery once
stationed there into magnificent drive
way along the Potomac to a cluster of
fine buildings which are to comprise the
new war college Since the civil war
the site known as the Washington Bar
racks has been occupied by a number of
antiquated buildings used until few
years ago by the headquarters Of artillery
regiments and more recently as the sta
ton of the engineer battalion, formerly
of Willetts Point, near New York.
The buildings are useless for modern
purposes, but the grounds are ex-
tsnsive and parallel the channel leading
t. the Washington wharyes on one side,
and have the river running to the navy
yard for their southern border. Under
the scheme designed by board of en-
gineers and the architect firm of Mcliim,
Meade & White, of New York, who are
the White House, the War
College and its subsidiary buildings will
be an adornment to the city and result
in the development Of a large area of
Government land wi itch heretofore has
served 10 useful purpose. The new
buildings will include war college, an
engineer school, two barracks buildings
for engineer corps, general hospital,
quarters for officers and other outbuild-
ings. The buildings will be so arranged
as to provide two spacious areas for
parade grounds. The main college
building is to be handsome stone struc-
ture, costing $500, 900, and will be To-
Gated at the juncture of the two rivers.
1t is the purpose to make the post
model military station.

BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
still another for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular part Of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of Green's
August Flower, the fayorite medicine Of
the healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get

END OF STRIKE IN SWITZERLAND. -
The tramway strike, in Geneva, which
at one time threatened TO assume serious
proportions, has ended. The strikers
met yesterday and decided to return to
work today. The refusal of the employees
at the gas and water works and the cleo
trio plant to join in the strike influenced
the decision of the tramway men to de-
clare the strike of. The compositors
have already returned to work, and the
papers produced miniature editions yes
terday. In the course of the strike 2SO
persons were arrested and of these 100
were expelled from the country. The
police say the strike afforded favorable
opportunity for clearing Switzerland Of
foreign anarchists, The strikers say
that the trouble arose from the fact that
the tramway company WAS able to pay
only per cent. dividend on its enor-
nous capital. The former manager was
asked to make it produce per cent but
being unable to do so he resigned. Then
Mr.. Bradford, an American, was APP
pointed in his stead with mandate TO

paratively orderly, but a review of the
troops provoked collisions. in which
many soldiers were hurt by missiles and
number of civilians were struck with
sabres. The cavalry eventually cleared
the ground.

of the United States will be taxed
indefinitely in futile attempts to make a
conquest of the Philippine Islands.

UNLESS the oyster laws are altered,

enforced, the day is not far distant when
oysters, if not entirely extinct IN this
section, will be beyond the means
of all but the rich to purchase. The
oyster rocks and beds are now being
dreJsed and almost depleted and oysters
which few years ago would not have
been taken from the water, are now sold
at good prices and the demand even
for these is increasing. The law re-
quires the inspectors to all-w no oysters
under two and one-half inches in length
to be sold, but dealers openly charge the
inspectors with collision (of course for a
consideration with the dredgers, so all

are taken and sent to market and con-

OPERATION A SUCCESS. Prof. Adolf
Lorenz. of Vienna, declared yesterday
that the operation on little Lolita,
daughter of Ogden Z. Armour, had been
performed and that he was convinced
the little girl will in a short time be able
to walk about as other children do.
The operation, to perform which Prof.
Lorenz, the leading surgeon in all
Europe, journeyed from Vienna to Chi
cago, was carried out at the Armour
house, Michigan avenue, Chicago, yes
terday morning. Prof. Lorenz was as
sisted by DIR. Frederick Mueller, who
accompanied him from Vienna, and
there were also present DIR. Frank Bill
ings, Mr.. Armour's regular family
physician; DIR. John L. Ridland, Dr.
Miller, and DR.. Dexter Ashley, of New
York, the latter former pupil of Prof
Lorenz. Extraordinary precautions were
taken 10 insure the success of the opera
tioD, and after its performance, which
consumed two hours, Prof. Lorenz de-
clared that the girls hip. which has
been dislocated from birth, will soon
grow into a normal condition. 1t is said
the physicians received a S75, 900 fee
from Mr. Armour. The same surgeons
will perform a similar operation on an
other child, whose parents are poor. For
this service there will be no charge.

DEFIANT MoRos. The Sultan OF
Bacolod, replying to the ultimatum re-
Gently sent to him by General Sumner,
the American commander in the Island
of alindano, in which General Sumner
cited the heavy punishment that had
been inflicted upon the rebellious Maciu
Moros, and urged the Su.tan of Bacolod
to establish friendly relations with the
Americans, says:
'The Moros desire immediate war.
They intend to adhere to the religion of
Mohammed, hence cease sending letters.
The people do not desire American
friendship"
This letter is one of the same tenor as
the other communications sent by the
Sultan to General Sumner. The people
over whom the Sultan rules have always
been hostile to the Americans, but the
Sultan himself was until the present out
break, considered to be peaceably dis
posed. Friendly natives report that the
Bacolodians have many rifles, and are
building strong forts, which they be-
lieve will be imprcgnable to any attack
by the Americans.
