TRANSIT ERRED.

the affair, under the title of special
commissioner.
There were rumors at the time that
Minister Conger would not return to
China and that Mr.. Rockhill would CON
tinue in charge under an appointment
by the President as the regular min
lister, but this report proved to be I'M
founded and Mr.. Conger returned to
his post and since that time has adj
ministered the affairs of the United
States in the far east.
Why Transfer is Talked Of.
Naturally the query arises: Why
this talk OF transferring Mr.. Conger
and placing Mr.. Rockhill in charge of
the Chinese mission? 1t does not ap-
pear that Minister Conger has request
ed that transfer be made although
it IS quite probable that Immediate
ly after the Boxer siege Mr.. Conger
would have welcomed a position in
volving less hazard to the personal
safety of himself and the legation.
conger's Work Satisfactory.
1t is said that the department is
quite well satisfied with the admin
stration of Minister Conger. He is re-
garded as a safe, cool-headed, conserv-
ative and diplomatic representative,
taking care of the interests of this
government and at the same time
maintaining his standing among for
eign diplomats and cultivating cordial
relations with the natives. There have
been limitations occasionally, hoWev-
err, that Minister Conger has been
somewhat deliberate in the handling
of certain specific matters of import
ance to this government and the secre-
tary of state is said to have upon one
or two occasions sent messages to
Minister Conger uging more haste in
the conclusion of some special matter
under consideration. While these fea-
lures of the case do not of course, i'm
ply that the department of state is
asking for the transfer of Minister
Conger to another field they give sub
stance and color to the general belief
that change is certain to occur, and
that it is matter of comparatively
short time until there will be definite
evidence of this intention.
Rockhill Capable Man.
A year ago the past winter it will
be remembered that the report gained
currency that Minister Conger was to
be recalled and assigned to another
post. The report was sufficiently wide
spread to suggest to the Iowa senators
and Congressman Hull that inquiry be
made at headquarters on the subject.
1t was found at that time that the
reports were not entirely lacking in
foundation, although representations
were made that resulted in a cessation
of the reports Of the contemplated

When VIII Coal Give Out.

1t appears that there is coal in the
United Kingdom to depth of 1000
feet. sufficient at about the present
rate of output to suffice for 81 years,
but that this period will be considera-
bly, extended, seeing that there is ev-
cry probability that mining can be car
ried on to a depth of 1000 feet, though
at this depth there will not be any
thing like the area of coal that there is
at the former limit. And it further
seems probable to expect that this pc
riod of supply may be still further ex-
tended by the more economical use of
fuel, due to the establishment of cen
trail electrical supply stations and the
utilization of Mond and other gas pro
