and propriety OF the joint landing OF ma
rines at Apia in 1899. TO sustain the
decree OF the Samoan supreme court and
end the revolution.
The Samoan dispute grew out of the
concerted action OF Rear Admiral kautz

MINERALS
Last Years Production Was
Valued at More Than a BiIlior.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The annual report
States for 1901. prepared by DR.. David 7.
lay Of the Geological sulyey will be Is
sued soon. An interesting feature Is a
compilation OF statistics showing the
in the coal industry.
Up TO date the total number of days lost
for the present year is placed at 20. 0oo. 900.
compared with 1928 days In 1907, 4,s7s. .l02
In 1900 and q 124.l54 in 1899.
The report places the total mineral pro-
duct OF the country for the year at 81. .oSe,-
b2l, again OF n little more than two per
cent over the production OF 1900. The
gain was made in the non-metallic pro-
ducts and amounted TO SIS 0s5, $50, against
loss OF So, ,156,09O In the metallic pro-
ducts.
The value OF iron In 1901 yas s24e, ,174 900.
as compared with 1858, ,9i4 0C< in 1900, and
the value OF coal was $34S, $40, 469 as COM
pared with 1906, ,67l ,364 in 1890 The value

per cent.
Every variety OF fuel increased in
value except petroleum. which. though
$50 barrels, declined in value ss.571. .S7s
due largely the report says. to the less
valuable character OF the Increased prod
uct OF the new petroleum fields.
Anthracite coal increased 50, O2l, POT long
tons in output and s26.74s1e9 in value. The
average price OF anthracite coal per ton
at the mine was $685. the highest figure
obtained since 1883, and the average price
per ton for bituminous coal at the mine
was sl.o5, about one cent more per tor
than in 1900.

thought OF material ascendency even with
the British empire united must therefore
be abandoned.
Mr.. Carnegie spared his Scotch audience
no details. America" he said, now
makes more steel than all the rest OF the
world. In iron and coal her production
is greatest and IL Is also so In textiles.
She produces three-quarters OF the ,worlu's 8
cotton. The value OF her manufactures
is about triple that OF your own. Her ex-
ports are greater and the clearing house
exchanges at New York are almost dou-
BILE those OF London"
FROM SECOND PLACE.
Germany, the speaker also said. now
threatened TO oust Great Britain even
from second place France was NOT like
~ TO increase her trade much further
1t was only thanks to the frugality and
virtue OF her people that she remained
amongst the first class nations. He en-
phasized the assertion that the most
powerful weapon In conquering foreign
markets Is a profitable home market.
'Invas.ons Of Europe, especially of
Great Britain. by American manufactur-
ers, are not to be apprehended any con-
siderable extent, except at rare intervals
because the home market in America took
Sc per cent Of the manufactured articles
hence her prosperity.

Is the true king. The work accomplished
I'm American commerce by the German
element can scarcely be believed, except
by those who, like myself, know II by ex-
perience.
EXAMPLE FOR ENGLAND.
The sobriety and determination OF the
Germans formsd an example for England,
whose enormous drink bill and money
spent on tobacco they cut in half, while
the gambling OF both masters and men
was abolished. The great secret OF sue
cess In business and In millionaire maxi
ing Is to make partners OF valuable man
ayers of departments.
Mr.. Carnegie described as a dark cloud
on Englands horizon the fact that I'm
20 to 2S years the supply OF Cleveland iron
stone will be practically exhausted. The
Cumbe rland supply Is already nearly ex-
hausted. This will bring dsarer iron
and steel"
However. Mr. Carnegie added. even
he United States has only a proved sup
ply OF fret class ore sufficient for sixty
or seventy years. With the reserve OF
inferior grades II might last another
thirty years, unless the rate of consump-
ton greatly increased. But the United
states, with her enormous extent. has
good hopes OF discovering deposits now
unknown.

MISSION WORK
American Association Conven-
tion at New London.

New London, Conn. Oct. 22.-Reports
and addresses on missions occupied the
attention OF the delegates at this morn
ing's session OF the convention Of the
American Missionary association. There
was a devotional service at $50, after
which the usual formal preliminary busi-
ness was discussed and the convention
then settled down to listen to the stories
Of the mission fields.
An address on Indian and Alaskan mis-
sions was given by Rev. d. NJ. Pratt, d.
D.. of Ohio.
Rev. II. A. Bridgman of Massachusetts,
spoke on missions in Porto Rico. He ssid
In part;
THE modern missionary enterprise 10
on trial In. Porto Rico. 1t would be q
shame to go there and duplicate the mis-
takes made In foreign lands and on the
frontier OF this country. The -.mericar
boards missions in India suffer today for
errors OF policy made 40 years ago.
Many western community received In
Its formative days spiritual handicap
because Of the crude and misce,.
ianeous character OF all the efforts
made for its evangelization. Our
missionary efforts in Porto Rico both In
what they undertake and what they avoid
ought to profit by the experience of the
church universal
American Christianity is also on trial
In Porto Rico. Its governors come home
and paint in roseate colors the progress
of American ideas, the eagerness OF the
people for self government and their
growing efficnecy therein. But ask q
Christian leader like DIR. c. j. Ryder, who
has spent weeks investigating moral con-
ditions not only in the seaports but in
the mountain districts. to tell you what
! he has seen and heard and the moral
status of the people will seem appalling.
Centuries of mlsrule, the exactions of
an oppressive and often immoral ecclesi-
astical system, the baneful influence OF
a soft tropical climate have produced a
people inert, childish. ignorant and im-
pure.
American Christianity has a big task
before IL and one demanding the gener-
Gus outlay OF money and not less gen.
erous offering OF consecrated personality"

In his speech which was replete with
notable statistics and important economic
prophesies, perhaps the most remarkable
feature toward the eventual creation OF
the United States of Europe under the
form OF a political and industrial union.
In this way alone Mr.. Carnegie de-
clared can Europe conquer the foreign
markets or repel the American invasion.
France, Germany and Russia, who had
already taken joint action against Japan,
would suffice 10 ensure satisfactory
union In Europe.
THE CZAR's EFFORT
''The Gar" he continued. having
taken the first step toward the peace OF
the world I'm The Hague conferences, the
other mighty emperor might some cay
bs impressed with the thought that X
is due to himself and TO Germany TO play
a great part on the wider stage OF Europe,
a. her deliverer from the incubus which
oppresses and weakens her: the appal-
ling, paralyzing fear OF war and OF ruin
between members OF her own body"
Mr.. Carnegie In the course OF glowing
tribute to Emperor William said he could
not help believing that "one SO supremacy
great" could influence the few men who
step, not TO federate. but by an alliance TO
ensure internal peace. which is all that
can be expected at present"
LIKE LILIPUTIANs.
Unless tho Powers agree to something
of the kind all they could look forward TO
Is -reyelpe-li like so many liliputians
around this giant Gulliver, the American
union soon to embrace two hundred mill
lions OF English speaking race and capa-
BILE of supplying most OF the worlds
wants"
For the best essays on this subject Mr..
Carnegie offered a rectors prize.
Dealing With the events which causst
the Industrial supremacy "once yours but
now passed to your lineal descendant,
who bears the industrial crown" Mr..
Carnegie maintained that II was physi-
cal impossibility for Great Britain TO
produce material things rivaling In
amount those OF countries the size OF Am
erica, Germany and Russia.

Among the unusual and particularly
powerful plays to be given by the ia
cobs Stock company at the Academy of
Music next week will be found choice
selection from some of the strongest
plays ever presented to the public.
Their engagement at the Academy
next week means series of produce
tions at popular prices, which are said

The claim is of greater weight than APP
pears on the surface when it is taken
into consideration that such plays as
"A Break for Liberty" Romance of
Coon Hollow" "rom Sawyer" king
of Detectives" "Our Angel" "Over
Twin Seas" and "In the Days of King
George" are to be presented. Each of
these plays will be mounted in an ex-
cellent manner and presented entire.
The Jacobs Stock company will
open their engagement in this city with
the sensational melo-drama, "A Break
for Liberty" written on the thrilling
escape of the late Biddle brothers.
