American Coal for the East.

Now that the long-looked for war
between Japan and Russia is an as
sured fact the financial interests of
the country are looking to the effect
such a strife will have upon the COM
merce of the United States.
Great force has been laid on the in
crease of trade that would surely
come to our middle-west and the Pa
cifc coast country in the event of
actual fighting, and especially if the
war we're to be protracted one. The
increased demand for grain and pro-
visions from those regions would in
evitably put general business into a
most healthy and prosperous condi-
tion out there.
The East, too, would hardly fail to
share in the profits of such war once
it became an actuality. The coal
trade is conspicuously interested in
the situation in the Orient. Even
with Russia and Japan only in the
shadow of war, it has begun to sense
what would happen with the two
fleets actually in action. Both the
United States and Great Britain are
already engaged in supplying coal to
the prospective belligerents. Con-
tracts for West Virginia coal have
latterly been taken for delivery at
the japanese coaling stations. As
early as October last, according to an
American authority in the trade, Rus
sia and Japan both came into the
market for extraordinary supplies of
Welsh steam coal, and in less than
fourteen days thirty steamers were
chartered for prompt dispatch to Via
divostok, Port Arthur, Hong Kong
and Nagasaki. Itwas not until about
January /, however, that orders in
any great bulk were again in market.
These have come in quantity suffi-
cient to make prices take turn for
the better.
The price of American and English
coal is now about the same at the
loading ports and the freights are
nearly so, being twenty shillings from
English ports to Hong Kong, as ba-
sis, while American shipbrokers are
quoting S5.25 to $3.50 to Manila, Nag
asaki. Yokohama or CheefOO. The
outlook is not unpleasant to the coal
trade, on top of the activity in it due
to the demands of an unusually cold
winter so far.

A Chance for the Leap Year Girl

A Chance for the Leap Year Girl.
The lower house of the New York
legislature is studying the abstruse
problem of how much money a man
lO4 years old requires for the support
of himself and wife. Hiram Cronk,
who is said to be the only survivor OF
the War Of 1912, has passed four years
beyond the century mark and one leg
islator thinks the veteran deserves a
pension of e72 a month from the
state, In addition to the e25 he draw
from the National government. Since
the bill was introduced Cronk has re.
ceiyed a swarm of leap year offers
f<om marriageable women, but he
says that he will not accept anyone {
until he finds out what the Lcgisla
turc is going to do for him. He Il
wise. He doesn't propose that II hs
should be cut of In the bloom of hii
youth his widow shall be left to strug
gle penniless against the world. On
the side the incident shows that NJ
mans solitude is inconsolable, 60 fal
as women are concerned.

Handling the Filipinos.
Frank Ayres, Auctioneer.

The Filipinos are an enthusiastic
people and are quick to respond to
evidences of attention to their capa-
bilities and interest in their develop
ment. The secret of Governor Taft's
great popularity is his tactful appre-
citation of this trait of their character.
One of his measures which has de-
lighted the Filipinos is the education
of bright Filipino youths in this coun-
try at the expense of the insular gov
ernment. The first party, 96 In num-
Der, are now in California, where they
will spend the winter. Next summer
they will be brought to the eastern
cities. Their departure was great
event at Manila and was virtually
converted into public festival. A
special operatic performance was
given In their honor, public meetings
were held and addresses made enlarg-
ing upon the Importance of the event,
and when they embarked they were
escorted to the whalf by a number of
societies and thousands of citizens, to
the music of half a dozen brass bands.
The possibility of winning such public
honors and obtaining such a prize az
an education in this country at public
expense will be great stimulus to
Filipino youths, who, as a class, are
remarkably apt and quick-witted. II
intelligence and character were quite
the same thing, education would have
astonishing results among the Filipi'
nos, judging from the way they take
to it, and there can be no doubt
of the value of Governor Taft policy
in /engendering satisfaction with
American rule. The risk lies in the
creation ultimately of conceited
and impracticable Babu class as In
British India, quick to take offenss
and prone to sedition. An industrial
rather than a literary education would
be the best for the mass of the Fill
pinOs.

One of the most vicious bills now
before the Ohio Legislature is one to
increase the salary of Common Pleas
Judge to $4,000 per year. There is no
possible excuse for this increase, al
nine out of every ten Common Pleas
Judges in Ohio could not make hall
that amount in the practice of their
profession with double the amount Of
labor. Stop the graft and discontinue

public.

Muley's Mistake.

Muley Hassan, sultan and sublime
autocrat of Morocco, by making the
mistake of his life, is on the high
road to the acquisition of modern wis
dom and the ways of la American.
Muley is up against the American
habit of circular letters.
The case of Muley Hassen is calcu-
lated to evoke a feeling of sympathy
from more civilized persons who have
suffered from the energy of the solic-
iting profession. Asked by an envoy
of the Worlds Fair to appropriate a
round sum for Moorish exhibit, he
haughtily turned down the request.
More letters followed urging the ex-
penditure and the absolute Moor re-
peated his refusal. Still the letters
continued to come until the harassed
potentate summoned the energetic
agent, gave him $4,000 and told him
to give 1t to the Fair or put 1t in his
pocket--only to stop the letters. He
did not know where st. Louis Is and
did not wish to. All he asked was
that he be left undisturbed by fur
ther Importantly.
Many men have felt a similar de-
sire to escape the perseverance of
energetic agents. But few have $780,
600 to give for peace. AS the sub.
lime Muley can levy that expendi.
ture on his subjects he may afford the
price. If he but knew it he has taken
sort of revenge in the trouble he
will put the Worlds Fair managers
to as how they shall account for the
$50, 200. Will they get up pseudo
Moorish exhibit or will they cannily
transfer the contribution to their
condition.?
On the other hand, the untutored
Moor little knows the future sorrow
he has laid up for himself. He gives
up $4,000 to escape the importuni-
ties of letters and he permits the
knowledge to be advertised to the
world. The unfortunate ruler will
learn to late that he has taken just
the course to ensure that swamping
of what postal facilities Morocco may
have under flood of begging letters.
From this invasion he can only es-
cape by ordering his entire postoflice
department thrown into prison.

Maj.Gen. Adna Il. Chatfee, recently
advanced to the position of chief of
staff of the army of the United States,
had hardly discovered the coat hook
in his new office before he began to
exude valuable suggestions for the
future conduct of the military forces
of the republic, and his very first shot
entitled him to three cigars and
another throw. 1t was, of course, a
recommendation for the expenditure
of money but for SO logical and
necessary a purpose that congress
can hardly waste time in debate be-
fore making the appropriation. The
general doesn't pretend to know what
the cost will be, but, by way of a
starter, makes rough guess that
g., 900, 900 might do the business.
What he wants to do with the money
is to- buy four permanent camp
grounds in the four quarters of the
union for the conduct of maneuvers
and the instruction of troops in field
tactics. 1t is impossible, he says, to
rent suitable sites, and the best way
is for the government to select desir-
able location and buy the ground. The
Tribune is in thorough accord with
this theory. Hitherto one of the great
est disadvantages of learning the SOL
diering business has been the impossi-
bility of settled residence and conse-
quent lack of those improvements,
conveniences, comforts and facilities
which are gradually developed where
ever a stable center of population is
established. 1t is notorious fact
that the greater part OF the death
rate in the army during war is due to
lack of proper water supply, sewer
age systems, perfected plans of gar
bage disposal and the like. In short
most of the hardships which kill four
men to the bullets one have always
been due to the fact that an army
couldn't stay in one place, build itself
satisfactory and sanitary quarters
and lead quiet and sheltered life
