WAS BAD FAITH.
Frenchman Declares Japan's Action Is
 InexcusabIe.

Paris. February N.-M. F. deMartins, professor of international jaw at the Uni- versity of St. Petersburg, who represented Russia at the peace conference at The Hague, and member of the Institute of France, made public a letter written ap- parently for the French republic:
 Tn view of facts. Prof. deMartins writes, 'it is impossible to assert that the failure of Japan to declare war was not a maneuver of bad faith. It was premedi- tated for a. long time and executed with out scrupIe. It consequently appears to me. impossible to find that Japan acted correctly In the light of the usages adopt ed by the civilized nations of Europe and America In any event. the conduct of Japan has wounded the Russian nation deeply, and do not know how many gen. erations must pass before this deep wound can be healed"

At Flat Top the inventory consists of two mules, mine supplies, tools, etc.
 In the general summary, Superintend- ent Rogers makes this note of explana- tion: You will note that the cost of mine supplies was higher at Flat Top than at Slope No. 10, Pratt City. This is explained from the fact that the seam of coal at Flat Top has two thick bands of slate In 1t, one in the middle of the seem about eighteen to twenty inches thick, and one near the tox six to eight inches thick. This coal requires good deal of powder and dynamite to blast it down. The dynamite Is used for blasting the rock We produce about fifty to sixty tons of coal per keg of powder at Slope No. 10"
 It is shown that the Pratt mines were run the full numberof working days, BIO, while the Flat Top mine was run only 28s full days, caused by shortage of cars. The general condition at both mines are reported good.
