A trade missionary consultation Of novel sort
took place IN New York few days ago. Repre-
sentatives Of several South American states met
there to discuss ways and means of bringing the
consumption Of coffee up to point Commensurate
with the increased production. Within short
time it appear the harvest has grown from 5,000
900 bags up to 12,5O0 900. So far as ordinary
observation goes the people Of the United States at
least would seem to be taking all the coffee that is
good for them. Dietary specialists say they are
taking more. This country stands second on the
list Of coffee consuming nations, under the per
capita classification, using about nine pounds per
year per head to Hollands fifteen. Belgium's fig
ure is about eight and 8 half pounds. Germany,
France and Austria Hungary follow in order, and
the six countries mentioned are all Of those whose
total consumption Of coffee exceeds 5O,000,O0O
pounds each per year. In Great Britain, where tea
is the staple, the annud per capita use Of coffee is
only tWO.thirds Of pound. The. distribution Of
the worlds coffee consumption indicated by these
figures argues that other fields than the American
are more promising for growers missionary work.

Democratic Speaking.

On Tuesday the Democrats of Tazewell
county had Senator Thomas Martin and
Hon. TATE Irving to speak for them They
spoke in the court house yard on the east
side of the building. We don't know from
personal inspection what kind Of crowd
they had, but have been told by reliable
gentlemen that the Democratic crowd was
not half as big as the Republican gather
ing.
We do not know the character of the
gceeches made by Messrs. Martin and lrv'
ing. excepts..s. from heresay. We have
learned that the Senator WIS ~; ~ Try and
pointlsss and that Mr.. Irving's was a We'll
delivered string of platitudes. The fact is
these men had nothing to speak about
that would give them an opportunity to
show their ability. Mr.. Whitney has said
that the National Democratic party is "a
party without leader and without an Is
sue." The Virginia Democracy. with its
recent per6dious record and with the de-
clared elimination of the negro from poll
tics. is in very bad form, and the least its
orators can say about it the better 1t ia for
them.

THE MILES MATTER

LEGISLATURE Will Pass on Matter Now
Agitatins the Faculty University
Of Virginia.
STUDENTS PARADE AND YELL

University of Virginia, Va, Oct. 49,
The board of visitors OF the university, by
vote Of 6 to 3, decided this afternoon to
postpone all consideration of the new
chair of economy and the new chairman oI
the faculty until a measure can be passed
by the legislature authorizing the board TO
elect aa executive head of the university.
This plan is recommended by the execu
tive'committee Of the general alumni asso-
ciation and tie faculty, and is generally
regarded az defeat for the supporters Of
Mr. George w. Miles, of Radford, Va.
The board adjourned about midnight
last night, the whole evening having been
taken up in the inquiry as to the attacks
supposed to have been made on Mr.
Miles personal character.
Early this morning there was presented
to the board a communication signed by
fifteen of the seventeen professors who
signed the protest against MIR. Miles
private character. OF the two members
who did lot sign, one, Prof n. X. Davis,
was too i'll to be present, and the other,
DR.. Buckmaster, was absent from the
univerritl on a surgical call. On account
of this communication, All impression at
once spread that the forces opposing Mr..
Miles were weakening and that the gentle
men would be elected AZ soon as this
investigation Of his personal character was
thus concluded, the board took the action
above stated, aud in tins way .lUrestalled
any definite action as to the defeat or
election of Mr. Miles. Nevertheless, those
who were opposed to him considered the
victory theirs, as the executive committee
of the general alumni association, as well
as the faculty vino recommended such a
measure, were among Mr. Mics strongest
opponents
The students, who ari practically unan'
imous in their opposition, are to night
parading about the college and giving yells
and cheers to those of the faculty who are
known to have opposed Mr.. Miles,
The action of the board marks new era
in the universily's history, as it means the
election of president of the institution,
which hitherto has been governed accord
ing to Mr.. Jefferson's original plan, a
chairman chosen from the faculty.

INDIANA MINES
TO CONSOLIDATE.
MilliOnairS Have Options Covering Entire
State and Trusts will be
Launched This Week..
ADVANCE In PRICES EXPECTED

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1S.-One Of the
most prminent coal operators in Indiana is
authority for the statement that John W..
Gates and man prominent in the tin-pate
trust have cash options upon practically
all the mines Of the state. and that the
trust will he launched some time next
week. 1t will mean that the block coal,
which is used so largely IN this city, Will
be raised in price. 1t is claimed that some
of the dealers of the city have already re-
ceved notification Of an advance, but it has
not been attributed TO the work Uf the new
trusts millionaires.
1t will he remembered that a year ago
a Chicago syndicate was forued, with the
idea of consolidating Illinois aid Indiana
mines, and that 1t fell through.
1t was not known at that lime, and is
not known now, except to Il few on the
inside, that the syndicate went 50 far at to
cause one operator Of the state 10 lose
SlO, ,0O0 annual contract because he refused
TO come in. Others we're plnched, but at
the la, moment something happened,
and the whole syndicate went up in the
air.
1t is not the purpose Of the new trust to
include the Illinois mines in this new or.
ganizauon, but ilis will doubtless follow.
The work has besn carried On very
quietly for some time, aud if there is no
hitch in the proceedings every mine in the
sta will soCu he at the mercy Of The coal
trust. The miners will nor he affected by
the new plan.

to arbitrate their differences with the

deserves for boldly accomplishing a set

that the Times was one of the few papers
that criticised the President and predicted
that he would fail in the undertaking. 1t
