Many papers do not see the value of
the Hoar resolution providing for the
presidential succession, in the light
of the act of Congress in 1886, which
was supposed to have settled the
question. The Hoar resolution pro-
vides for the contingency of the re-
moval Of the president-elect, while
the former act had reference only to
the succession while the president
was actually in office.

Since 1890 Washington, d. c., has
had the distinction of being the lead
ing negro city in the country, a posi-
ton that has formerly been held by
New Orleans, with Baltimore a close
second. 1t still holds the first place
in this regard but the present census
shows Philadelphia has made the
heaviest gains in negro population in
the past decade. The truth of the
matter is that a great many cities are
showing marked increase in the negro
population, while the decreases are
few and comparatively small in num-
Der, most of them being in Virginia
towns and cities. San Francisco has
the smallest negro population of any
large city in the country, possibly be-
cause cheap labor there is performed
by the Chinese.

The fad for the single eye-glass has
come in again in England and it is
said that it will spread to this coun-
try. There is a diversity of opinion
as to the value of the monocle, some
physicians contending that it is bad
for the eyes, while others say that
where there is defect of only one eye.
there is no sense in wearing glasses
for both. In Germany it's use is ex-
cused on the ground that for the army

Dr. Burton has become such favorite
with Minneapolis lecture goers that since

that so delightful a course by DR.. Burton

ceived about the course.
DR.. Burton has never given In Mime

sequence, she is especially interesting herself
in his up-bringing, and it is said that if he
does not develop the same fastidious ways
and ultra-royal graces of the ll-fated duke,
it will not be the royal grandmother's fault.
The present Prince of Wales always preferred
free and easy method to the ''potty' ways
of his late brother and although he Is a de-

CHINA APPEALS To AMERICA
Asks This Government to Interest
Itself In War Indemnity
Problems.

Washington, July 17.-Having prac'
tically adjusted the questions com
rected with the surrender to the Chi
nese Of the control of the city of Tien
Tsin this government has been asked
10 interest itself in the settlement OF
tie grave difficulties growing out OF
tie question of whether China should
lay the war indemnity in gold or sill
YER and whether import duties
should be paid in gold or silver. The
Chinese government is greatly dis.
turbed over this question and the fact
that the payment of the indemnities
ON the dates fixed, owing to Chinas
Impoverished condition, is a serious
problem. AS Minister WI has been
s. successful in his other undertak
ings connected with the negotiations
his government again has called upon
him to secure an &melioration of the
demands. The minister came early
&c the state department yesterday
and had long interview with Secre
tary Hay, in the course of which he
presented cablegram from the two
leading members of the Chinese court
who are primarily in charge of the
negotiations. The message brings out
fer the first time the fact that it is
now a difference of method rather
shan disposition that divides the lead
ing powers and that all seem ready
to do what they can to make it posi-
bic for China to carry out her heavy
Obligations. Secretary Hay studied
the message closely and will give the
subject his immediate attention.

NO SOFT COAL STRIKE.
Situation, at indianapolis,
Last Night So In
die at e d.
THE CONVENTION MET TODAY.
President Mitchell Master of Situa
tion--WouId Not Commit Himself
Last Night, Except to Say Action
Taken Would Win Anthracite Strike

Indianapolis, July 1.-THE national
convention of the United Mine Work
ers assembled in Tomlinson hall this
morning to discuss the advisability OF
calling a strike to aid the anthracite
men, who have been out in the east
for several weeks.
The action of the convention was
uncertain, although the situation last
night indicated that there will be nc
valkout of the soft coal men. There
were so many circumstances, how
ever, that may change the situation
that speculation regarding the result
Of the convention was practically
worthless. If President Mitchell
would declare his personal prefer
enees it would not be difficult to fore
tell the outcome. At present he con.
trolls the situation absolutely and can
swing the delegates either way. He
will not say openly what he wishes.
however, asserting that it is the prov.
ince of the delegates to decide regard
ing the strike, and that while he is
willing to advise, under no eircum
stances will he assume to dictate to
tie convention what it shall do.
When 1t comes to discussing the re.
suit of the convention the sphynx of
Egypt is bowling dervish compared
to Mr.. Mitchell. He said yesterday
afternoon, however that the conven.
ton would take action which would
result in the winning of the strike
by the anthracite men in the east
Strikers Contendng For a Principle.
He also said the men on strike
we're eontending for principle to
which the United Mine Workers had
long been committed, and that it was
the duty of the parent body to aid
them by every means in it's power.
When asked whether these utterances
could be construed into meaning that
he was in favor of a strike, Mr..
Mitchell was seized with a paroxysm
dered by the convention, it is likdy
that action will be taken with the oh
Ject of curtailing the output of soft
coal, and every effort will be made
TO keep it out of the anthracite re.
glon. To this end the bituminous men
viii decide to work fewer hours a day
end no more coal will be mined than
is necessary. If it shall be decided
that this policy can be carried out,
the chances of strike will be greatly
lessened.
The sentiment among the delegates
us far as it could be determined from
those who were already here last
night, was against a strike.
