tins of the north part of Sweden will be
keenly felt by the people Of the north

has already contributed literally to the
relief of their kinsmen, and will doubtless
do still more, If the Swedish government is
not equal to the situation.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Smallpox in Porto Rico.

To the Editor of The Journal. -:
The leaderette in your issue of Dec.
49,, commenting on the letter of Lora
c.. Little: seems to me to ignore the real
ly,.important features in the Porto Rice
smallpox matter. :.
-First-Smallpox is an epidemic, not ar
endemic, except when made, SO by vario-
lation. '#, .-"'.' .s-.
Second-The good thing done by us in
Porto Rico was to cleanse the island an6
try to get the people to keep it so.
I predict as result of the wholesale
vaccinations a speedy recrudescence Of
smallpox or the spread of much more
fatal diseases. ;e s..s.

That American Rush.

A travelling correspondent of the
London Mail, describing the american
Rush to Canada" cites good authorities
who predict that in 1903 from $4,000 to
100000 Americans will go into western
Canada, and that, within the next three
years, 200, 900 to 250, 900 Americans a year
will bring their energies to bear upon the
inviting virgin SOIL 49,
, The correspondent raises the question
whether Canada is going to absorb all
these thousands Of Americans, or are the
latter going to absorb Canada?, He
thinks if the rush were into eastern Can
ada the migrant Americans would be alb
sorbed. It is another matter in the COM
paratively sparsely settled western Can
ada. The English subjects in the north
western provinces are few and scattered
and more likely to be absorbed by the in
corners. The Canadian government has
made tremendous efforts to get loyal Eng
lish subjects to settle in the western re-
gion, but it has failed. Recently Canada
besought and got the Dukhobors to settle
there. 1t got them to the extent of a few

coined a most undesirable and lawless
body of fanatics.
If the predictions of some eminent Cana
dams about the big inflow of Americans in
the near future are verified, there is little
doubt that Assiniboia, Alberta and Sas-
katchewan will contain a preponderating
American population in eight or ten years
| The correspondent referred to thinks that
| the Canadian government can prevent any
| undue American influence by convincing
| the American farmer that his rnateria
interests lie with England and by giving
him land and Keeping taxation low. The
| Canadian government may do all this, anG
yet the American farmer is not at al
likely to believe that his material inter.
ests lie with England Wouldn't it b.
4 rather hard to convince him that this j.
! so, when the Canadians themselves yer,
numerously dissent from the view tina
their own material interests lie with Eng
land altogether? The Industrial an<
commercial boom which has opened
new era in Canada, east as we'll as west
is due chiefly to the skilful activities 0
American capitalists. The brilliant sta
of American destiny sends shaft of ligh
northward, as well as southwark. b.

IMMENSE COAL OUTPUT.
All Records Broken, Yet the Famin
 Is Not Relieved

All Records Broken, Yet the Famine
 Is Not Relieved.
 READING, Pa, Jan. 12.-The Penn sylvania and Reading railroad officials claim that for the week just ended more anthracite coal was taken down the main line than for any previous week in years. The total is 10,20O of all classes of cars, or an average of 1,7OO cars for each working day of the week, equal to nearly 225,ooO tons. This was distributed in the company's territory as far as New York and along it's branch in this state and elsewhere.
 The coal famine throughout this sec tion has reached such an acute stage that many industries in the smaller towns will soon have to close, and in the country districts the distress is so widespread that teams have started for the SchuylkilI county coalfelds, thirty and forty miles distant, to supply pressing necessities.
 In answer to the criticism that if so much coal is mined and shipped why it does nof relieve the famine it is stated that there are many industrial estab- lishments that do not use coke or bitu- minous coal and that many scores of these must be supplied with anthracite to keep them in operation.
