INJUNCTION ASKED
To Restrain Company From Mining
Coal Under River.

Washington, July 19.-Suit has in
stituted by the Federal government
against the Bessemer Coal and Coke
Company, a Pennsylvania concern, for
an injunction to restrain it from taxi
ing coal from under the Monongahela
river, near Pittsburg. The suit was
brought at the request of rival corpor-
ations.
The government contends that it
owns the coal that the Bessemer COM
pany propose taking.
The point to be determined by this
litigation is as to the title of coal and
other minerals under navigable rivers.
The amount involved runs far into the
millions as nearly all the streams of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia have
deposits beneath them.

Washington, July 19.-The first re-

National Bank. of Terre Haute. Ind,
which suspended June 2S, has been
received by the Comptroller of the
currency. The receiver estimates the
value of the assets as follows:
Good, 1858, ,O42.62; doubtful, 5000, ,104.-

paid in full, without recourse to an
assessment of the stockholders"

million bushels. The increase in the American corn crop has been one of the narvels of the past dozen years. As recently as 1894 it was twelve hun dred million bushels, and though in 1895 1t suddenly went above two billion bushels, in several of the succeeding years of the century it feli below that mark. But since 1901 there has been a fairly constant and in the aggregate very large gain. One who is still a young man may recall the time when a billion bushel crop was hailed as a wonder; now a three billion bushel yield is only just beyond sight.
 This years wheat crop is not to be a similar ecord-breaker. But the seven hundred and four million bushels that are now practically assured as a mini mum have been neither surpassed or equalled except once in the country's history; that was in 1901, when the to- tai yield exceeded seven hundred and forty-eight million bushels. The money value of this years crop, however, will be greater than that of four years ago, since the present conditions in the worlds wheat market and in other wheat producing parts of the earth will cause good export demand. Tho promise in the case of the minor crops oats, barley, rye, etc.-is also very bright.
 The indications are that if we choose to dance awhile longer we can well af- ford to pay the fiddler. These are great and rich times. Five or six billions added to the wealth of the country by the good ground is large boon.

4 LITTLE sTfR IN HotsTOy ".

Houston, Texas, has lately added a new sprig to its laurel wreath of fame. This law has just been made by the city council there: That hereafter any male person in the city of Houston who shall stare at or make what is commonly called ''goo-goo" eyes at, or in any other manner look at or make remarks to or concerning, or cough or whistle at, or do any other act to at tract the attention of any female per- son upon the streets of Houston, with the intent or in a manner calculated to annoy, or to attempt to flirt with any such female person, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon con- viction thereof in the corporation court be fined any sum not to exceed $100.
 "Iale person." Um! Um! All right as far as it goes, and just what a male person merits, but are there no female persons in Houston who make what are commonly called ''goo-goo' eyes? or do some other little thing calculated to break up, or break down, a male person? Is not sauce for the gander also sauce for the goose? Or is Hous- ton joining in the great and glorious movement for the squelching of mere Man?

fl HARD NUT TO CRACK.

The Japanese wont have to take Vladivostok just now, but if they ever do they will know what work is. The aspect of the fortress is said to have been completely changed. It is sur rounded by a triple line of works, and at certain important spots there are four lines of defence. The exterior line has been carried to fourteen versts- eight and half miles-from the town. The islands to the south have also been carefully fortified. There are five irn- portant forts to the north, on essential points of the line of defence, and two to the south, on the islands. The strength of the garrison is S5,0OO men. The ar- nlament consists of 2,000 guns, each with LOGO rounds, together with 400, ,00O,- GOO rifle cartridges. The food supply is sufficient for a two years siege. The sea front comprises seven forts and 34 coast batteries, armed with the heav- fest guns. On the land side more than 200 batteries have been constructed. There are two entrances from the sea, one from Amur Bay to the west, the nearest to the quarantine station, the other from Peter the Great Bay to the east, and both are carefully protected by forts and batteries. According to the estimates of the Russian engineers, it would require at least 100000 men to besiege the. place successfully.
 Perhaps the Russian engineers are right in the estimate of the number of men it would need to take Vladivostok, but the Japanese wouldn't mind lt- tie thing like that.

MUCH NEW WEALTH

No wonder the stock market holds up, and optimists go about Wall street. Consider the crops in this country and be grateful to our generous mother. In the case of corn the breaking of all previous records is especially noticc- able. The governments figures indi- cate yield of considerably more than twenty-seven hundred million bushels; and there are circumstances which make it not impossible that the final
 figures may go much closer than this to ethreo billions. Tho largest yield previous to this year was that of 1904 twenty four hundred and sixty-seven

SOME SLOW DEMOCRATS.

They know in the South that the war is over, but rather surprising state- ment is made about what they don't know. There are Federal jobs which might be had by southern Democrats but there arA no applicants for them What is the explanation of this abnor- mai condition of affairs? Civil Service Commissioner Greene has recently made a personal Investigation of the situation in Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee. He found that Demo- crats do not participate in the civil ser vice examinations, believing that the principle Ito the victor belongs the spells" still prevails, and that 0 Demo crat, however good a showing he might make in the examinations, would have little chance of receiving the appoint ment. Under the civil service system appointments are non-partisan, but, says Commissioner Greene: without a general participation by the public of all classes and parties in the compet- itive examinations for positions in the classified service, the intent of the law as to the non-partisan character of ap- pointments cannot be carried out. If, however, there is that general partici- patton in the southern States which prevails in the northern States, the Civil Service commission will undertake to see that appointments in the classi- fled service are made without regard to the politics of eligibles.'
 It is probable that there will be faith enough in this statement to induce some southern Democrats to try for off, fee. Democrats have not been famous for neglecting their opportunities in this line, and doubtless the curse will soon be removed.

At Portsmouth,

There is silence down at Portsmouth,
 there is quiet in New Hamp., Like the stiffness of the farmhouse as
 they light the evening lamp. There is deadness in the village such as
 reigned before the start Of the recent peace convention that en-
 listed every heart. There is indebtedness in plenty, there is
 lassitude to burn, There is just the sort of piacidness for
 which the Quakers yearn. And the do-lesSness pervading every
 corner of the place Ought to bring a smile of gladness to
 each mild peace lovers face. Silence? Why. if you listen you can
 hear the fennel grow 'Twixt the cobbles in the pavement of
 that village staid and slowi Silence? Should a, maiden's kerchief
 fall upon her chamber floor All the town would be excited at the L sudden, deafening roar; Silence? If you never heard it in its
 purity, 'tis now You should visit quiet Portsmouth since
 the ending of the row. For the deadness of the duck pond
 when the ducks are not about Seems (compared with Portsmouth's S
 stillness) like the widest, loudest
 shout. .~ --ss W. Gillian in Baltimore American.

Tn Kansas City a young man employ ed to collect rents was caught stealing. His attorney, when the case was called in the criminal court, said that he would plead guilty and his famfly--one of the most respectable in town-would make good the whole amount of his thefts, if Judge Wofford would only spare him and them from the ignon1i- nu of a prison sentence.
