Our Navy Is Criticised.

In an address before the Patriotic
Club society recently Rear Admiral
Coghlan, commandant of the New
York navy yard, delivered an address
on The Navy" in which he said that
while on paper the United States, in
1908, would be in second place as a
naval power, yet, If there were strick-
en- from the lists such vessels as the
sainted Oregon" now a second class
pattleship instead of in the first line,
the United States would not rank bet
ter than fifth or sixth among the sea
powers Of the world.

CHINESE ARE AWAKENING.
Feeling Against American Exclusion Is
Very Bitter.

Oakland, Cal.-The Rev. Arthur
Smith, a missionary in China, who has
just returned on the Siberia, is visit
ing friends in tbs city. The mission.
airy says:
THE strong antiforeign feeling in
China is due in large part to the de-
feat of Russia by Japan. The Chinese
are awakening to the fact that they
are not subject people The feeling
against the United States is very bit
ter because of the exclusion act. This
feeling Is heightened by imaginary
wrongs and exaggerated descriptions
OF indignities heaped upon Chinese in
this country, as sent home by the Chi
nese in the United States. But Chi
ma, as whole, has come to the belief
that it is easier and cheaper to carry
on a negative war against the United
States than to attack missions and kill
missionaries. The country has learned
that where there is no violence there
is no punishment to follow. This feel
ing is confined to the coast cities, how
ever, and l do not believe that it
would be safe for an American to ven
ture into the interior provinces.
What the more intelligent want is
that the exclusion treaty shall be in
telligently amended, and shall be en-
forced only against those classes it
is meant to affect"

Lead-Silver Mines Contribute Over.
$4,000, 000-FederaI Company Mined,
the Most, With Bunker Hill Com
pany second-Over 5000 Men EN-.
ployed in District.

From official and semiofficial sources
it is learned that the mines of the
Occur d'Alene mining district during
1905 produced total of 1920, 692 in
lead, silver, copper, gold and zinc, an
increase over that Of 1904 of approx
mately s3,00O,OOO.
OF this sum the lead-silver mines
contributed $14,196,592. the remaining
81 ,023,74 standing to the credit Of the
copper gold silver zinc producing
mines.
The tons of ore mined during the
year were approximately 1,445.170, the
Federal Mining & Smelling company's
five mines-the Standard, Mammoth,
Empire State, Tiger Poorman and
Misunderstanding with $4,000 tons, as
nearly as can be ascertained; the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine ranking
second with the enormous output of
341 ITO tons. The Hecla is third on the
list, with 100 900 tons. then follows the
Snowstorm, with 65, 400 tons; the Her
cules next, with 1880 tons.
The silver content of all the ores
shipped totals 100000 ounces, having
81. 402 900 commercial value, figured at
81 cents an ounce for the year. The
lead content foots UP to 249,000,000
pounds. worth $1O,OsO. 900. reckoning
at cents pound, the price, allowed
the producer at the mine. The New
York price of lead for the year aver
aged cents pound. This difference
in price, if allowed the mine owners.
would make the total value of the
output of the Occur d'Alene mines ap-
proximate s17,710.692.
The mines of the Federal company
yielded 100000 ounces of silver. the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan 2,0Ss.0O0, the
Hercules 727,851. the Hecla 582,17e
and the Snowstorm $4,000 ounces.
These figures are officially confirmed.
The Federal company's mines pro-
duced 11s.7S4 800 pounds of lead, the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan 97,2S1, ITO
pounds, the Hecla 4OS,39e pounds and
the Hercules 11.656.94S pounds.
Metallic lead to the total amount Of
124, 500 tons was produced in this dis
trict during 1905, an increase over last
years output of $500 tons. 1t is be-
lieved that this remarkable output rep
resents 38 per cent of the total lead
production of the United States for
the year.
OF the eight leading mines in the
district the dividends and net earn
ings total $6,055000, the Bunker Hill
Sullivan leading with $3255, 900; the
Federal company's mines ranking sec
ond with $1,750,O00, the Hercules next
with $450000 and the Hecla with $240.-
900.
The new mines and prospect proper
ties employ about 1000 men, bringing
the grand total number of the men
employed in the mines of this district
to 3070. These men receive upon an
average $500 a day each, totaling
$11,052 day, 1881 $50 a month or
$3,97S,720 during the year.
The chief producer of lead is the
Snowshoe mine, near Mullan, with an
output last year of 5,108,572 pounds,
this being an increase of it's produc-
ton for 1904 of over 100000 pounds.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 20.-Ed.
Johnson, colored was taken from the Jail
shortly before midnight, by n mob OF 75
men, and hanged 90 beam Of the county
bridge over the Tennessee River. The
rope broke and the negro's body fell, but
the mob quickly riddled him with bullets.
Sheriff Shipp and the iailer were locked
in a bathroom while the mob secured the
prisoner.
The negro was to have been hanged to-
day. but the United States Supreme Court
granted q stay Of execution. and this
action served to anger the citizens. All
yesterday there was great excitement and
IL was freely talked on the street that
violence would result.
Early last night the mob began TO form
and its work was done so quietly that only
those in the immediate vicinity of the Jail
knew when il was ready for action. At
1O.45. about 75 determined men assembled
at the jail and nc once gained admission.
Overpowering the sheriff and his deputies
they secured the prisoner and quietly led
him to the bridge, where the hanging and
shooting were carried out without other
disorder the mob Immediately disappear
ing. The mob was composed of men Of
mature years.
The negro is said TO have confessed when
first taken by the mob, but when the rope
was placed about his neck he stoutly main
famed his innocence It is declared that the
victim was dead of strangulation before
the rope broke, but the mob, to make sure
work Of him, filled the body with bullets.
kThe crime for which johnson was lynched
was an assault on a prominent white girl
at st. Elmo, a suburb, which occurred
some weeks ago. Immediately after the
crime a mob made an unsuccessful attempt
TO get the prisoner, but Sheriff Shipp had
taken him away AZ the time the Jail
was attacked and almost torn down, and
during the excitement several persons
we're seriously injured.
The city was as quiet al the hour Of the
hanging and afterwards as though nothing
unusual had occurred.
