Mine inspection.

West Virginia within the past few
days. More than one hundred min
ers' lives were sacrificed and great
property loss was entaileds The val
me of the lives is beyond estimate
and that of the destroyed property
is immense.
In view of the fact that SO many
lives have been snuffed out, It is not
at all strange that Governor Dawson
should send a special message to the
legislature on the subject. Indeed.
IL the legislature had not been in
session. he would have been expect
ed to convene 1t at once to take ac-
ton. .~s
The message asks for a joint COM
mittee of the senate and house to in
vestigate the Stuart mine horror. 1t
should not have stopped at that, but
should have included the one at
Thomas. and, perhaps. also that at
Lorentz. However, the Governor
may not have such information as
yet about the two latter as to in
duce him to institute an investiga-
tion of these two at the present. The
legislature, while 1t is at 1t though
might as well find out about the
other two. ascertain the best It can
do SO what the trouble was and take
remedial steps.
The Governor asserts that COM
plants have come to him to the eff
feet that there is but one opening
at the Stuart mine. and in this re-
spect he charges. II such complaints
be true. that the mining laws have
been violated there. and. II violated,
the efficiency and fidelity of the
state bureau Of mine inspection Is
involved. The legislature. through
its committee. will ascertain whether
the complaints are well founded. and
n they are. there is but one course
to pursue. that Is. to make thebu-
reau answer for this inefiiciency and
infdelity. ..---.s,...-,-.
The legislature should also take
such action as will guarantee the
safety OF miners and the preserva-
ton Of mining property. It may
md that inspectors have entirely too
much to do, to do themselves and the
mines and miners justice. For in
stance. some of the deputy inspec-
tors have as many as ten counties
in their district. Some Of these
districts have great many mines,
30 many. in fact, that It Is really q
burden. almost overtaxing the
strength of the inspector. to make
even a casual inspection of them,
to say nothing of the careful and
frequent inspection they should
have. zEA.,ETluGT u.
The investigating committee may
also find that the miners themselves
are careless of their own safety
thoughtless In most cases. no doubt
There ought to be way devised to
remedy this.
Further. 1t may be found that
operators are more or less negligent
and Indifferent. Perhaps. some o,
them think more of getting out the
coal as quickly as possible. with
thought only of the present. when
In fact, they ought not only to D.
jealous In the protection Of the vel
fare OF the miners, but also anxious
to preserve the property SO as to b.
ut for further operation. Their,
should be no wanton destruction 4

all right and 1t Is hoped the senate
may see its way clear to pass It At
any rate the bill that is finally pass
ed should not exempt ffty-mile rail-
roads. A two-cent fare straight on
all railroads is what the people
want. They must have It.

tainly not wish to have people in front
of their cabins all day and night, as
would be the case If these steamers
were purchased. Another main point
is the fact that they have very little
free board, and with so many people
being subject to sea sickness the pas
senger receipts would not be very
large On the trip between Boston
and New York as a rule very calm
weather is experienced, and the only
bad place on the whole trip is off Point
Judith
In conclusion wish to state that
any number of points could be pointed
out that would convince the people
here that these two ships are not what
is wanted, and | should suggest be-
fore any thing is done regarding the
purchasing of a ship or ships that some
one who understands something about
ships should take a trip and look over
the many good seaworthy ships, that
can be bought in the Atlantic coast,
that will meet all the requirements
that are needed in this trans-Pacifc
trade.

tai of $2,0OO,0OO It was then that the
last refusal on the part of the trust to
remove its clutches from the Pennsyl-
vania Sugar Refining Company was
given The memorable crash of the
Real Estate Trust Company. of which
the first warning was the suicide of
President Nipple, came soon after
ward.
For three and a half years the Sugar
Trust has kept the securities put up
by Segal as collateral, and has held
the Philadelphia refinery as if the
ownership of it had been forfeited but
it has never attempted to dispose of
any of these securities, not even the
bonds of the Majestic Company. Were
it to do SO, said Mr. Junkin yesterday,
the members of the trust would at
once be arrested and prosecuted under
a criminal statute.
The list of the refineries created for
the purpose of competing in the open
market which the Sugar Trust has
Suppressed" is a very long one. In
this city the trust controls the stock
of five such plants, and it runs only
one of them. In Baltimore it has three
refineries, and not one of them is sep
arated A similar story could be told
Of Boston and other cities. The trub,
fixes absolutely the price at which its
product is sold at retail and the deal
er who does not abide by that price is
refused further supply. The profit that
he gains in selling sugar hardly pays
for the paper and Irvine which he uses.
The Sugar Trusts wholesale profit on
all the sugar that it manufactures is
81 barrel. 1t is true that there are
few refining companies not avowedly
in the trust, like the Arbuckles, for
instance; but it is generally under
stood that these are bound by an
agreement with the trust, and that the
latter practically dominates them.
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany is capitalized at $9O,OOO,OOO half
preferred and half common stock. A
very large proportion of the stock is
water" The assets of the corporation
are valued at $199, 7S4OOO
At the last annual meeting of the
stockholders one of them asked for a
report from the president, Henry o.
Havemeyer, as to the actual earnings
and profits of the company. Mr.. Have
meyer said no such report had ever
! been made, and that none such would
be made. He advised the stOckhold-

STEAMERS NOT GOOD.

EDITOR STAR; In making comment
on j. A. Gilman's idea about proper
ships to buy to help out the shipping
situation, would suggest that Mr. Gill
man take trip to New York and look
over the Yale and the Harvard. | am
sure that when he had cast his first
glance at these two ships he would
agree with me in saying that they had
much better be kept for the purpose
they now are intended for, and not
try to compete for service between
here and the coast. We might as well
try and put the Kinau on the Atlantic
service to compete with the Cunarders
az to put them here on this coast.
These ships are not fitted for deep
sea service, and any way not for the
trip between here and the coast They
are good sin sight of land" passenger
boats, but in no way could they be
called ocean liners. Up to June 10 they
had not been placed in service ana
were not built with the idea of being
placed on an off shore run. They will
compete very favorably with the Fall
River Line between New York and
Boston, but that is the end of their
usefulness.
If any one here in the islands has
ever seen the Richard Peck they can
decide then what the Harvard and
Yale look like. They are not large
enough for this trade, and their cargo
space is not suited for this trade. |
have seen these ships and have been
aboard them. What we want are ships
that have a regular cargo space and
are fitted with every modern con-
venience for taking cargo in and out
and not the way cargo would have
to be loaded in these selections of Mr..
Gilman. These boats have cargo ports,
and no matches, and what is a very
necessary part of a ship is cargo booms
and derricks which these two ships
lack. 1t would be rather hard thing
to sling a large engine or a very bulky
piece of machinery in the ships, and
taking it from sailors standpoint, a
very nearly impossible feat The one
deck that would be used as a pro-
menade for the passengers would not
have the convenience that almost every
other ship has, and I am certain that
large number of people would GER

NORWEGIAN RULERS
POPULAR IN PARIS

PARIS. June 15.-Among all the royal
personages who have visited Paris none
have become so justly popular within
50 short a time as King Haakon and
Queen Maud Of Norway.
Although their visit was an official
one. they had requested that all official
ceremonies be made as simple as posi-
Bile. and while they were here they
walked quite frequently through the
streets alone and unattended, boarding
an ordinary bus or street car when they
were tired, and entered into converse
ton with their neighbors.
The King declared himself delighted
with Paris and the French people. whose
good manners in not staring at him or
running after him in the street were in
pleasing contrast 90 the iU-bred Ger
mans, who had often annoyed him in

no higher wish than 10 visit the country
where so many of my countrymen have
made their homes. and shall certainly
go there some time"

IN CHINA NOW

Although the worst Of the Chinese

starvation is concerned, the conditions
in the infected district are denlorabIe
at the. present time. and fevers are
spreading. This information was con.
veyed to the Red Cross Society yester-
day IN a telegram received by Charles

Branch OF the society.
The dispatch was from DR.. Louis
Llopsch. editor of the Christian Herald.
who quoted a cablegram just received
from China concerning the disposition
OF the cargo OF -four that reached Shang-
hal on the army transport Buford a
week ago. The cablegram. which was
from +. r. JohUstone. the Herald's rep
resentatives. who accompanied the Blu
ford TO China, and superintendent the
distribution of the cargo, was dated at
Chinhang, Thursday. and was as fol-
lows:

SALES IN SOUTHEAST
BY MOORE & HILL

Generally speaking, business in the
real estate offices last week was not
brisk, the weather conditions having
their effect on both buyer and seller.
This Was the cue. however. for the
several bright young men in Moore &
Hills office TO get busy. and they turn
ed their attention 10 the southeast sec
ton of the city as good ground for an
exhibition OF their talents. The result
was good. and the firm reports busy
week in small properties in that section
Among the sales made were the two
story brick houses. 121. 123. and l29 Z
street southeast. which were sold for
Thomas H Pickford, at $3.50 each.
Also four tWO-stOry brick dwellings
at the corner of Fourteenth and G streets
southeast. which brought $3.50 each.
These houses were all entirely new
and provided with all modern conve-
niences, and were bought as homes.
