SONS Of the highest moment, Mississippi
was the President of the Confederacy's
own State, and Vicksburg its principal
city, and the loss would be a blow at
the Confederacy's prestige only second
to the loss of the Capital.
Jefferson Davis's well-known feel
ings on the subject were undoubtedly
the controlling factor in influencing
Gen. Pemberton to disobey Gen. John
ston's orders. He felt that Davis. who
had sisnally honored him, would never
forgive him for hazarding the loss of
Vicksburg even temporarily. Therefore,
even when obeying tardily and half
heartedly Johnston's order to move out
and attack Grants rear, Pemberton
left 10000 men in the works, to pro-
vide against any chance Of Grants slip
ping by his flank and taking Vicksburg
by rush.
The incapable way in which he han
died his men made 1t Of no moment
that he had left this force behind. He
had many more men than he could
manage, and at Champions Hill had
suffered a crushing defeat at the hands
of Hovey's and Logan's Divisions, with
some assistance from Crocker's. 1t was
only because Gems. Grant and Logan
did not appreciate the advantage Logan
had gained that Pemberton did not lose
his whole army there.
Gen. Grant was eager to attack at
once, while the Confederates were un-
strung by their repeated defeats. II

the powerful works even easier than
they had been from such formidable
positions as Champions Hill and Big
Black Bridge.
Grants men, now brimming over with
confidence In themselves and their COM
mander, were even more eager than he
for an immediate assault. They were
all emulous of the fame achieved by
Hovey's daring attacks at Champion 5
Hill and Lawler's brilliantly-decisive
charge at the bridge of the Big Black.
IL fractional parts Of the army could
achieve such results, why could not the
whole army, acting together, walk right
oyer the works into Vicksburg, at the
point OF the bayonet, and settle the
whole matter between sunrise and sun
set, with several hours OF daylight to
spare. as in their previous battles?
Grant had the strong additional rea-
SON that Joe Johnston. the ablest and
most resourceful OF the Confederate
Generals, and the one whose swift COM
binations and vigorous attacks had
brought McClellans Peninsular cam
paign to a halt, was again at Jackson
only so miles away, gathering every
man from as far east as the Chatta-
hoochee River, that could be spared
from Bragg's army, to succor Pember-
ton and save Vicksburg. There was no
/ reason why he might not leave a small
force to hold the strong Tullahoma
lines against Rosecrans, and rush the
rest of Bragg's army down TO the res
cue.

president of the United States Life
Insurance Co., and Edward Langdon,
is director in both the Citizens Cen.
tral National bank and the Merchants

night that the condition in the trust
company's affairs was only an unfor-
tunate "tie.up." He said the company
would be able to pay dollar for dollar
in tho end.
Depositors showed little fear they
would lose their money when they ap
peared at its main Office in Broadway
or at its branch at 59th street and

fidence in the men behind it. They
were re-assured. however by A. c. Jud
son, assistant state bank examiner,
who said after a hasty examination of
the books of the concern that ne was
satisfied the company would pay dol

There was an impression among de.
positors, both downtown and uptown,
that the New York Life Insurance.

latter government recognizes the abso-

former Mosquito reservation. In re-
turn, Great Britain is granted valuable
concessions, having in view the better

FALLING OFF IN
COAL PRODUCTION
RETURNS TO UNITED STATES
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Decrease of 61,15e,463 Tons as Com
pared With the Report of 1908.
Other Figures.

Washington, ID. c., May 23.-Prac.
tically complete returns to the United
States Geological survey for 1904 as
collected by Mr.. Edward w. Parker,
statistician, show that the production
of coal last year amounted to 361, 1885,
p53 short ons, having total value
at the mines of $445,643,52S. Com
pared with 1903 this shows falling
off of 6,159463 short tons in guam
tity, and Of s5S,0S0,S53 in value. This
decrease, although proportionately
large in the figures of value, does not
indicate any interruption to the gen.
orally prosperous conditions which
have prevailed during the last eight
years. It was, simply natural reac-
tion from the abnormal activity which
had been maintained throughout the
coal mining regions in 1908, due to
the exhaustion of all coal stocks oil
hand by the memorable strike of 1902.
The production in 1904, while less
than that of 1903 by 6,159,463 short
tons, exhibits a normal increase when
compared with the annual production
during the ten preceding years. The
average price for all coal mined and
sold in 1904 was S1.27. as compared
with $1.41 in 1903, and s1.22 in 1902.
The statistics for the production of
anthracite in Pennsylvania, which are
complete, show that the output In
1904 amounted to 65,318,490 long tons
equivalent to 1886, 709 short tons,
valued, at the mines at $13S, S,S74 ,020,
as compared with 6G613,454 long tons
Or 74,607,06S short tons, valued al
s152,O36,4f8 in 1903. The decrease in
production in 1904 therefore, amount
ed to 1924 ,96i long tons or 1.450,359
short tons, while the falling off in
gross revenue amounted to $18,082,.
d23. OF the total production of Penn
Bylvania anthracite in 1904, 57,727,17S
long tons were shipped to market,
l,410,703 tons were sold to local trade
and employees and 6,180,609 tons
we're used at the mines for steam and
heat. The average price for the mar
keted product excluding colliery con
sumption, in 1904 was $2.35, as against
$3.50 in 1903.
The statistics of bituminous coal
production comprise all varieties of
coal, excepting, of course, Pennsyl-
vania anthracite. In 1904 the aggre,
gate production Of all these varieties
amounted to 27S,040.244 short tons,
valued at $306,669,50s against 2s2,
749,34S short tons, worth 1851 ,6S7
933 in 1908, indicating decrease of
4,709,104 tons in amount and $45,.
018,425 in value.
