COKE PRODUCTION.
State Mine Inspector Gray Complies
Valuable Statistics.

According to the report Of state Mine
inspector J. M. Gray the production Of
coke in Jefferson county last year
amounted to 2.S2s,79i tons. against 1884,
995 tons in 1902
In the entire state 2.65s.1S5 tons of coke
was produced. In 1902 the production of
coke in the state amounted to 2,210.7S
tons. The production of coke in Alabama
last year fell short of expectations. This
is supposed to have been caused by the
cessation of work at a number of the
coal mines in July.

A Chicago special to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat says:
The eagerness of several roads to colon
lie Texas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory
threatens to result in a passenger rate
war. The Santa Fe immigration depart
ment announced today that round-trip
rates of $25 to Texas and Oklahoma would
be placed in effect February 16, March
and 15, effective to all points In Texas
east of line drawn through San An
tonic, Amarillo and Galveston. In addition
a round-trip rate of $50 will be made to
Roswell and Carlsbad, N. NJ, on the same
days. Return tickets will be good for
twenty-one days.
The rates announced are considerably
less than one fare for the round trip. Rate
cutting to the southwest was started
when the Rock Island gave notice that
it would put In rate of $11.5O for home
seekers on February 16 and March l and
Is. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas at
once announced a rate of SIS for the round
trip from Kansas City. and this necessi-
tated the Santa Fee putting in cores
pondlngly cheap one-way rates from Chi
cago.
The Chicago Record Herald saws:
In the calendar year 1903 Louisville and
Nashville earned 101s per cent, compared
with little over 9 per cent in the calen-
dar year 1902. The increase in gross earn
ings during the twelve months amounted
to $3,s33291, or IL per cent and the In
crease in net to 81, 900. or 10 per cent
The best part of these gains was made in
the first six months. Gross earnings of ths
last half year show an increase of only
$780, 35. or per cent and net earnings
an increase of only $179,5s0, or per cent.
Operations for the last two calendar
years compare as follows:

Toxic, July 20.-The Russian VIA

by torpedo boats. entered the Pacific
ocean today. Its destination is un
known, but it probably plans to raid
the east coast of Japan and then eth
er return to Viadivostock escape
to the south or attempt TO form
junction with the Port Arthur fleet.
The squadron was discovered in the
straits of Tsugar at three o'clock this
morning. Warnings have been sent
out to shipping along the eastern
coast of Japan, and the merchant
men are hastily seeking cover. The
Vladivostock squadron overhauled a
Japanese steamer eastward of Tsu-
gar straits. The name of the captured
vessel is unknown.
LATER-The Russian Vladivos-
toca squadron released the steamer
overhauled by it east OF Tsugar strait.
1t was the Takashima, which arrived
at MorOran at noon today, and re-
ports that she left the Russian yes
sells steaming southeast at great
speed. This course creates the impress
sion that they are heading for Saigon

though it is possible that the course
is a ruse to deceive the Japanese.
