which corps of advisors for all the
provinces recently arrived from Japan.
The Korean court opposed the plan,
but had no alternative but to sign.
The Japanese plan, it is announc
ed is to take control very gradual
ly, as there is a dearth in Japan of
competent and available officials. A
modern administration of Korean af-
fairs would entail draft of 1900
officials and impose a deficit of three
times the present revenues.
The organization of courts of JUS
tice will entail an immense burden,
as no legal code now exists. The
urgent necessity is to obtain con-
troll of the Korean army. and it is

The kwan Ant Hill has been STIR

Emperor's second pledge of abdica-

crept over the whole peninsula, when
the new agreement with Japan was
announced and the Emperor's pro-
clamation published in the provinces.
All the privileged old ladies at

at the Palace, condoling, weeping,
wailing and incidentally carrying
away in their custmary loose cloth

able. The palace was lotted of all
possible souvenirs.

his efforts for many years had been

IA KNOWN DEAD.
Another Tenement House Horror In
New York

New York Especially AN explo-
sion, accompanied by fire, shattered
an East Side tenement shortly before
midnight and, with the crumbling
walls, at least IA persons and per-
haps more went down to death, while
many more were probably fatally in
jured.
AT 2 A. M. IA bodies had been
recovered from the ruins.
The horror was repetition of the
periodical blaze that sweeps through
the densely populated foreign sec
ton of the city and is almost invari-
ably attended with panic and death.
The wrecked building was at 222
Christie Street, where a siX-story
tenement rose above the grocery
basement. An explosion as yet un-
accounted for tore out the front of
the building, and the fire that fol-
lowed caught the 20 families, num-
bering about 100 persons, while most
of them were sound asleep. OF the
injured many jumped from the win
dows, others were caught by falling
timbers, many half-suffocated by
smoke were dragged from the hall
ways, while others received their
wounds during the panic and mad
fight among each other for an exit.

NO COAL FAMINE
IN The NEAR FUTURE
It Is Not Even a vsry Uemnts
Possibility.
A STATEMENT BY Mr.. WOOD0urE
Valuable Statistics BY Acting Head .,
Interior Department to Show Tho.
There Are Millions Upon Millions n
Acres Under Which There Are MINI.
of Coal Yet Untouched,

Washington (SpeciaD. = That
coal famine is not necessary nor in,
minent is the opinion expressed hr
Acting Secretary Woodruff. of tbo
Interior Department. In a statamor+
just made public he discussed tho
coai area as developed by the Geolog-
lcal Survey, saying:
Not including great areas of lic.
mite, which will be mined only after
the more valuable coal deposits arc
exhausted, the Geological Survey has
determined that there are townships
in the states and territories west of
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan
sas, aggregating in all lover go 0OO-
600 acres of land, each township of
which contains under it's entire sur
face, or part of it, workable de.
posits of coal. The Geological Snr-
vey has been busy for several wears
in determining the location, quanti-
ty, quality and workable condition
of these coal deposits. This work
has been taken up with utmost yigor
during the present year. and town
ships containing more than 2S,OOO,-
600 acres in which workable coal ex-
lists have been examined and classi-
fed
When one remembers that these
classified areas are most convenient
ly situated with reference to trans
portation and settled districts, and
that every acre of them is subject to
purchase from the government under

several months; also that the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company alone
is reputed to have in it's own DOS
| session land containing over $780,
coo, 200 worth of coal, and also that
many hundred thousand acres of coal
land scattered Throughout the entire
region containing coal have already
passed into private holding, and in,
many instances contain large mining
plants, it is easy to see that if there
is to be a coal famine next winter
such famine will result only from
failure to mine the coal which is
easily accessible either by grant to
railroads, purchase in the past by In
dividuals and companies or entry at.
the present time under the laws
1.-The Geological Survey has 16
parties of trained experts advanta-
geously scattered over the entire
region containing coal. These min
ing engineers are daily adding to
the areas classified and opened to
entry. 1t is believed that by Novem-
Der l all land in the public-lani
states known to contain workable de-
posits of coal will be classified and
subject to entry"
Mr.. Woodruff expresses the hope
that the next Congress may enact
leasing law which will permit COM
panies to acquire control of more
than the $40 acres now allowed to
be purchased.
OF the coal lands still held by the
government, over 25,000,000 acres
is held at the minimum prices Of SO
and $40 per acre, over 100000 at
$50 and over 10000 at. $75. This
is in accordance with the classified
ton made by the survey.

COTTON GINNING STATISTICS
The Census Bureau Perfects Its
Plans.

Washington (SpeciaD The Cen
sus Rureau has perfected its arrange
ments for collecting cotton-ginning
statistics covering the cotton crop
of 1907-S. There will be 10
reports, the first appearing Sep
tember s and the last March 20.
The intermediate dates of publica-
ton will be October 2, October 20,
November s, November 21, Decem-
ber s, December 20, January 8 and
January 23. In each instance, ex-
cept in that of the March report, the
statement will represent the condi-
ton of the crop about a week be-
fore the date of publication. The
report of March 90 will deal with
the condition on March l.
AS heretofore, the agents will be
given six days in which to visit. the
ginneries and secure the returns.
Summaries of these will be wired
to the bureau on the last day of
the canvass. On the day following
the close of the canvass these tele-
graphic summaries will be added and
the results will be given to the pub
lie. The reports will be printed and
mailed within "a hours after publi-
cation to all ginners and to all 9TH
ers interested.
Last season these reports were
published at 2 P. NJ on the day fol-
lowing the close of the canvass, but
this season the bureau will endeavor
to publish the results at 10 A. M.
The publication at this hour will
permit the results to reach Europe
within trading hours on the day that
they are published in America. This
is in line with the earnest requests
of European spinners of American
cotton, and it is believed that by
enabling them to trade on these
dates of publication the fluctuations
in the price of cotton and the results
of speculation in the product on
these occasions will be reduced.
Between the hour of 6 P. NJ,
when the agents complete their can
vass and make their county summar-
les for telegvaphing, and 10 A. M. of
the following morning, when the re-
ports are published in Washington,
no business is transacted on cotton
exchanges in this country, and
hence, under this system, Director
North says, there can be no i'm
proper use of the information.
Two of the publication dates
September and December S-fall
on Sunday, and Director North stated
this evening that these two dates
would be changed.
