Production in 1904 Is 6, 159, 463 Tons
Less than in Preceding Year.

There was a falling off of 6,159, 463
short tons, or of $5S,OSO,S53 in value, of
the coal mined in 1904 compared with
the previous year, as shown by official
statistics. This decrease does not indi-
cate any interruption in the general pros
perity, but is held to be a natural reac-
ton from the abnormal activity in 1908,
due to the exhaustion of all stocks by the
strike of 1902. The average price for
coal mined and sold in 1904 was $1.27,
as compared with $1.41 in 1908, and
S1.22 in 1902. Of the more important
producing States, West Virginia, In
diana, Kentucky, Iowa, Kansas and Wy
oming were the only ones that showed an
increase in production in 1904.

Captain Ronald Amundsen, an Arctic
explorer, who sailed from Norway on
June II, 1908. in an endeavOr to find the
northwest passage. From the fact that
supplies are to be sent north by the Pa
cifc ocean, it is argued that this great
quest of Arctic explorers for more than
400 years has been successful and that
the explorer will soon appear on the Pa
cific coast. Captain Amundsen, who
passed Greenland, bound for King Will
liam Land, is said to have located the
north magnetic pole and to have found
the monument erected by Sir John
Franklin when that Inflated expedition

LOOMS DEFENDS
MINISTER ALLEN
Latter Was Not Dismissed
From Korean Post.
BUT RESIGNATION WAS WISE
For Other Reasons His Voluntary Re-
tirement Was Willingly Agreed
to BY State Department.

The State Department, through Assist
ant Secretary Loomis. has given out a
denial of the statements that Minister
Allen. of Korea, was dismissed from the
service on account of charges that had
been preferred against him. That
charges are pending is not denied.
These charges were submitted some
fifteen months ago by Raymond Krumm,
of Columbus, Ohio. who was an engineer
for the contractors who built certain
street railroads in Seoul. Secretary Hay
ordered Judge Penfield. the solicitor OF
the State Department, to investigate the
charges, and, according to Loomis, he
found them inconsequential and unsup-
ported.
Allen resigned from the service some
time after, but, IL is stated, the charges
and their investigation had no relation
whatever TO that step. 1t is further
stated at the State Department that
Krumm was actuated in his course by
Aliens refusal, while minister to Korea,
to use his official position TO further
some of Krumm's desires, Allen deciin-
ing to take the desired action on the
ground that his official position would
not permit 1t.
1t was learned from another source.
however, that although there was moth
ing in the charges calling for drastic
action on the part OF the President.
they still moved him to permit Allen to
resign from the service. There was
some criticism of personal investments
the minister had made. and 1t was
deemed wise to let him give up his dip
lomatic post.
