During the course Of his address the
bishop referred 10 the coal strike in the
most general terms and devoted but
little time to the discussion Of the
miner and his conditions. He said:
The miner is really beast of bur
den For hours each day he labors in
the great holes In the ground, seeking
for treasures to make men rich He
sees but little of this world and gets
less reward for his work than men who
do far less work with infinitely less
danger. He does not have the opportu-
nifty OF education
The sons, as soon as they grow up,
enter the breakers and pass the best
part of their lives at toll. The miner
is an old man at thirty. and by forty
five he is almost past his usefulness.
The conditions are unfavorabIe for his
education. and they must be changed.
Every man should have some enjoyment
in the world, and every man must be
given the opportunity of heldping him

AMERICAN ENGLISH PROJECT
REGARDED AS A DANGER SIGN

Acre, a rich rubber region in the
northeastern part of Bolivia. was dis
puted territory between Bolivia and
Brazil until al arbitration tribunal re
rentIy awarded 1t to Bolivia. Jorge E.
ZaIles. charge d'affaires ad interim OF
Bolivia at Washington. recently ex-
pIained the present troubles as follows.
IN February, 1907. the congress Of
Bolivia authorized The execution Of a
contract that had heretofore been pre-
pared between The Bolivian minister in
London, senor Aramayo, and the repre-
sentative of an smeTican- English syndi-
cate. providing for the formation OF an
American company. which should take
over the fiscal administration OF the so
called Acre territory, comprising 10000
square miles. This territory Of Acre
lies. properly speaking, at the headwa-
ters Of The Amazon and between two of
the principal tributaries of that great
river. II also lies on the eastern slope.
or. rather, at the foot of the Andes
Mountains.
1T is the richest rubber producing
country on earth, the exports from this
one province exceeding 1000 tons yearly
The region is thiciIly settled by 4 mixed
population of both BTaziIiaus and Boliy-
ians, numbering 10000,
Transport Via Amazon.
"On account of its peculiar situation
the rubber produced in Acre cannot be
transported over The Andes to the ports
OF the Pacific, but must seek an outlet
down the Amazon and reach the outside
world through the Brazilian ports of
Para and Pernambuco. The Two priRei-
pal af1uents of the Amazon flowing
through Acre are navigabIe for steamers

through Acre have neither falls nor
rapids. and the dTyest weather is in
sufficient 10 arrest steamboat navigation.
Now, according 10 the treaty Of 1867.
the boundary between Bolivia and Brazil
was fixed from q point in 10 degrees 20
minutes south latitude on the Madeira
River to the source of the. Javary
River at degrees 6 minutes south lati-
tude a boundary thar was subsequently
examined By mixed commission and
ratified b. both governments. and which

domain.
However, when the contract with the
American English syndicate was ratified
by our congress Brazil manifested the
greatest opposition 10 the purposes OF
the syndicate The Brazilian ministers
IN London. Berlin. and Washington were
apparently instructed 10 claim Acre as
Brazilian territory. while the Brazilian
minister al La Pa, acting under in
struc1iOns from his government. de-
manded the cancellation Of the contract
threatening that unless such action was
taken Brazil would close the tributaries
of the amazon which gave access TO
Acre. that IL would fomenl disturbance

a detailed narrative of the bombardment
and a justification of it from the German
point of view.
The United States had not asked for
this explanation. 1t had entered no pro-
test against the bombardment, either at
Berlin or London. Though greatly dis
pleased the American government CON
Guided to await developments. It's pa
thence is now rewarded by a voluntary
explanation or the part of the German
government, and the fact that Germany
thought it wise to offer an explanation
unasked is deemed of great and pacific
significance.
Incidentally the United States govern

many has no intention and has had no
intention of taking any action in South
America that would bring on test of the
Monroe doctrine. 1t is not denied that
for several days there has been much
anxiety in official circles in Washington,
and this anxiety has been shared by the
highest and best-informed members of
the government. But assurances haye
been conveyed which put at rest all such
fears, in so far as words can quiet them.
1t is claimed by the Germ. n govern

that the German gunboat Panther was
the aggressor.
The United States legation has been
conducting an investigation in Maracai-

been elucidated. A reliable person says:
"The foreign element, who are in close
touch with the civil authorities. know
that Fort San Carlos had received orders
from Caracas that in case the Panther
attempted to cross the bar and pass be-
fore the fortress the latter was to fire on
the German vessel, first with powder TO
call attention.
when on Jan. X the Panther entered
the narrow channel inside the bar, four
miles from the fortress, heading for the
interior of the lake, the fortress fired a
round of blank shot Then seeing, after

the Panther was to pass up the channel
and force a passage past the fortress to
