COAL FAMINE LIKELY
If General Suspension of Min
 ing Is Ordered.
SOME FIGURES BY SECRETARYWILSON
There Are Now More Than 100000 Unfonized Mine Workers - The Anthracite Organization
 Includes AT 1000 Men.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 21.-It is estimated by ". B. Wilson, secre- tary and treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America, that the present supply of bituminous and anthracite coal above ground would be exhausted in less than three months if there should be general suspension of work In the mines.
 According to this estimate, if the national convention of mine workers in Indianapolis July IT should vote for general suspension of work in sup port of the anthracite strike, as is now proposed, the vast industrial machin- cry of the United States would be so handicapped for fuel that thousands of factories would have to suspend work.
 MT. Wilson has statistics showing that there are approximately 450,0O0 miners in the country, scattered through thirty states. The miners of twenty-four states would be actively involved if there should be a suspen- sion of operations In Idaho, Nevada, California, the Dakotas, North Caro- lima and two or three other states brown coal, known as Ignite, is mined, but the organization did not take these states into consideration when it issued a call for the national con- yentfon.
 There are now more than 100000 members of the mine workers or ganized. MT. Wilson says that nearly every nonunion man would go out if a general suspension of work should be ordered. During the first anthra cite strike two years ago there were only 5000 anthracite men in the or ganization, yet more than 125,000 men went out.
 The anthracite organization now in- c1udes AT 900 men, and since the strike was ordered a few days ago the Vir- ginia and West Virginia men have been focking to the union.
 In Indiana 10,S00 men are employed In and about the mines. The Indiana operators have short supply of coal on hand. Probably the largest supply of coal is in the bins at Buffalo and other cities along the great lakes MT. Will son says it is impossible to keep large supply of bituminous coal long because or the HaDlllIy or JOSS Irom spontaneous combustion.
 Anthracite can be stored indefinitely, but the supply in the collieries is now running short The bituminous mines In most localities are being worked at capacity, but the supply is shorter than usual
 Canada has no coal on which this country could draw if there should be a general tieup. The British isles might supply a part of the market, but at a price that would be almost prohibitive to the manufacturers and ordinary con- sumers The tariff on imported coal is 30 cents ton more than the. miners re- ceive as a rule for mining in the United States.
 At the coming convention the belief Is that the competitive districts, west ern Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, will take hand against gen. eral strike. These states have con- tracts that they do not want to break. The combined vote of the competitive district, with that of Iowa, is expected to prove strong enough to prevent the success of the proposition for general strike.

contrivance ride with their bodies almost paral-
lei with the floor.
Fred Hopes of Des Moines however, has i'm
proved upon the old-time dazzle. The track is
ten feet in diameter at the bottom, and thirteen
feet at the top, and is about six feet wide.
For about two feet from the. floor the track

four feet the sides stand at an angle Of IS de-

Gently. it is reported, $4,000 peasants
in Poltava and kharkOy arose In their

the growing spirit of freedom and can
no longer be depended on. Some of the
Cossacks not long ago refused to obey
orders against a mob, and IL is said
they had been at the point of revolt
against NJ. Sipiaguine, the minister OF

the scheme for administrative reform
drawn up by the late General Loris
Melikoff when he was minister OF the
interior and which was sanctioned by
the late Gar Alexander II.
The revolutionary movement Is head
ed by compact organization known as
the Social Democracy OF Russia. Its
programme is practically that Of every
Socialist party in Europe. This or
ganizatio is not TO be COMPOUNDED with
the anarchists. as the Socialists claim
there is not an anarchist in their ranks.
The anarchists are opposed to govern

TO parliaments, voting and what they
call ajorty rule. whereas these are
things the Socialists are fighting for.
The socialist system of universal CO.
operation. based ON the principle of
representative government. is their
goal, but for the present they want
those popular institutions which all civ.
ilzed nations in the world enjoy as a
matter Of course.
Various causes tend to contribute to
the unrest which, existing in Russia
for many years. has now assumed an
acute and serious phase. In the first
place, the government of the country is
an absolute hereditary monarchy. the
entire legislative, executive and judicial
powers of which are united in the cZar.
whose will is law.
The administration OF the empire is

The pay of captain in the United

Out of this he must furnish uniforms

monarchies as Prussia and England
These are the political causes Of he
existing discomfort In Russia. The eco
nomic causes are also many. For at
.Sst I'VE years the harvests In Russia
nave been poor. and last year and in
1900 the prevailing drought almost
ruined the crops in the southeastern
provinces and in those across the eau
casian mountains. The result was DIES
titution almost approaching a famine.
To remedy the needs Of the peasantry
the minister Of the interior was given
an appropriation from the imperial ex-
chequer. The distribution Of relief
was placed in the hands OF parochial
officials, and Il was asserted that in
stead of relieving the needy these Off
cials appropriated most OF the money to
their own use.
Another cause Of popular discomfort
was the treatment OF the students In
the universities. They were called up
on to do military duty. and, as this in
terfered with their studies, they pro
tested. This finally led to riots In st.
Petersburg and Moscow. when many
were killed. The peasantry. from whom
many OF the students spring, sympa
thize with the latter and resent what
they regard as the persecution OF the
government
Russia has made great progress dur
ing the last decade or two. Ii has de
veloped wonderfully along economical
lines. and this development is bound
to find its reflection in politics. People
have better chances Of hearing what Is
going on in other lands nowadays. Try
as the government will. II cannot keep
the population from contact with the
current of life I'm the civilized world at
large. In the first place, the numbef
OF common people who can read is get
ting larger every day, all the efforts of
the authorities to the contrary not
withstanding.
In the second place. the Increasing
industrial resources Of the country
throw larger and larger masses Of the
village population into the cities. where
they quickly learn what is going on in
France, England or America, for In
stance. All this has the effect OF wild
ening the horizon OF the lower classes
and opening their eyes TO the fact that
they are living under a regime which
in other places has long since been dis
