.Iapan,s Coal Treasures.

Till quite lately Japan was exporting over seven nnillion tons of coal yearly as against four millions of tons in 1894 The countries of the far east really now look to Japan for their coal. AS a fact, however. Japanese coal is of in- ferior quality. It is very .bituminous. with much smoke and ash, and cd- heres to the bars or grating; it does not coke very well either, but it pos sesses the immense advantage of being found in a region that can be reached only at considerable cost and delay by either British or American coal.
 The island of Kiou Siou is the prin- cipal coal basin that is being worked in Japan. T. Is affirmed, nevertheless. from a geological survey that has been tons of the precious combustible, or about as much as can be assigned to all the rest of Japan. Of this 600,00O,- 900 tons somewhat less than one half is evidently plenty to go on with, even if the figures claimed are not in reality about five times too small, as some ex- perts contend. New coal beds have Akia.
 The importance of the coal industry in Japan, however. can be deduced from the fact that the Yubari Coal Ar,piosx oo,oranI, aYnDIovS 2 7O0 work = men. Analysis of this grade of coal, when desiccated gives 52.54 per cent carbon, 42S9 per cent gas and tar, and 4.57 per cent red cinder. It furnishes 57.11 per cent of coke.
 The beds of Kiou Siou are by far the most important in Japan, being to the northwest of the island over against Corea. All the coal from this section gives too generous a proportion of ash and sulphur and from 3S to 40 per cent of combustible gas; the quality Is but medium, but it sells readily at remun- erative prices in the far east especially as the workings are not deep and the mining and handling are quite inex- pShSNe' HIS Coai lS ATelShteu ldI S'- ly from Moji in the Strait of Shimo- neseki, which is the shipping port for coal.

Anarchy threatened to such an extent that only the extraordinary prompt ness and firmness with which he handled the situation prevented an ap- palling condition. Agitators among the foreigners at other camps in the at Clifton and Morenci, and had the rioters there been permitted to gain the upper hand there would have been outbreaks, riot and murder at half a dozen points in Arizona. Had Stod- dard temporized with the law-brealS- CTS. had he played politics and tried to make capital for himself, had he shown himself of weak fiber. the loss of life and property would have been on a terrifying scale, and the mining industry of the territory would have received a setback from which It could not have recovered in years. As 1t was, he instantly saw his duty and without hesitation performed it. He hurled the national guard with such celerity into the disaffected district and called for federal troops so promptly that the rioters were at once dismayed They saw that they were dealing with a governor who meant to uphold the law, protect life and restore public order at all hazards, The ringleaders were taken into custody, and the courts promptly convicted them and sent a dozen or more to the penitenti- ary.
 So it happened that in disregarding his own political fortunes in dealing with the disturbances of last June, MT. stoddard performed a public ser vice which strengthened him with the people more than a lifetime of po- ntical maneuverinE could have done.

influence Of the railroads on one side,
and of state patronage on the other,
are minor factors that line up men
who are not in the habit Of thinking.
The thinking men are divided accord
ing to temperament between radical
and conservative elements. La Fol-
lette's personality dominates the whole
situation. His ambition to be senator,
and afterward president, rules the
policy of the administration. His fol-
lowers believe in him absolutely. The
stalwarts hate him, and will not con-
cede his sincerity. They call him a
demagogue, and Rock county dele
gate declared on the floor that 'if he
had an honest motive once it would
kill him.
Governor La Toilette admits that he
Is ambitious, but denies that it is a
crime. He maintains that his third
term candidacy was necessary In order
to carry out the reforms he has been
fighting for.

waukee as chairman of their state
committee. Mr.. Philip is known all
over the state as the railroads repre-

FRIDAY EVENING,

question Is whether the state cons
mittee usurped rights belonging to the
convention. If the courts decide that
it did, then all the efforts of the La
Toilette men to keep the proceedings
regular will go for naught. Able at
torneys like Senators Spooner and
Quarles, M. G. Jeffris Of GAINESVILLE
and Emmett Hicks of Oshkosh, be-
lieve the stalwarts held the regular
convention.
Roosevelt's success in wisconsin Is
not seriously endangered by the split.
The stalwarts took precaution last
evening to name the same list Of
presidential electors chosen by the La
Toilette men in the afternoon. Under
the law these names cannot go on
both tickets, so they will go on which
ever ticket the courts declare regular.

alton is the attitude Of the United

He fayed Governor La Toilette and
ridiculed him as a self-appointed
prophet insulting the people by de-
flaming their leaders, and undertaking
to lead them out of darkness into

government is.

this convention and the rump conven-

Meat of the Controversy.

Stripping it of unnecessary details,
the case Is just this. Out of 1865 del
egates to the state convention, the
stalwarts claimed 542 with certificates
from county committees. This left
523 La Toilette delegates so certified.
The state central. committee, which
had been given the rights Of a COM
mittee on credentials. met the day be-
fore the convention and heard all the
contests, going into the evidence.
There were only thirteen of the La
Toilette delegates contested, and this
contest was settled by giving each del
egation from st. Croix county 6h
votes. There were some seventy-f1ye
stalwart delegates contested, and the
committee unseated fifty-eight, giving
seats to fifty-three La Toilette dele
gates instead, and cutting out the five
votes Of the second ward of Milwau
kee entirely.
Next day the contested delegates
were not admitted to the floor. Dele
gate badges were only issued to those
declared delegates by the state CEN
trail committee, and no others were
admitted to the floor. Delegates had
to wear their badges on the outside of
their coats, and enter by running a
gauntlet of some twenty deputy sher-
ifs and assistant eargeants-at-arms,
recruited largely from state house
forces gained majority on the floor,
and decided all the contests in their
favor.
The position of the stalwarts is that
the committee only had right to
make up preliminary roll Of dele
gates, and that certificates from
county chairmen were prima facie evil
dence Of their right to sit in the tenn
porary organization. The committee
had no right to go behind the returns
until the convention reached temper
airy organization. Then the merits of
the contests should be passed upon by
committee of the convention itself.
II No power could delegate this right to
any but committee Of the conven-
ton.
This is the point for the courts to
settle, and not the merits Of the con-
tests.
Conceded La Toilette Majority.
On the contests the La Toilette
forces have the best Of it even accord

tested La Toilette men. The stalwart
members of the state committee con-
ceded the justice of the contests in
Grant and Eau Claire counties, and
the vote to seat twenty La Toilette
delegates from these two counties was
unanimous in the committee. This
gave La Toilette 535 votes, or two
more than a majority Of the conven-
ton.
But If the convention had been or
ganized according to the stalwart con-
tention, they would have had major
lty to start with, and no one doubts
that they would have held that advan.

favor, and organizing the convention
