NO COAL FAMINE
IN THE NEAR FUTURE
It Is Not Even a verj Remote
Possibility.
A STATEMENT BY Mr.. WOODRUFF.
Valuable Statistics By Acting Head OF
Interior Department to Show That
There Are Millions Upon Millions of
Acres Under Which There Are Mines
of Coal Yet Untouched.

Washington Especially 49, That a
coal famine is not necessary nor I'M
minent is the opinion expressed by
Acting Secretary Woodruff, of the
Interior Department. In a statement
Just made public he discussed the
coal area as developed by the Geolog-
ical Survey, saying:
mot including great areas of lig-
mite, which will be mined only after
the more valuable coal deposits are
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 over 10000
600 acres of land, each township OF
which contains under its entire sur
face, or part of It, workable de-
posits of coal The Geological Sur
vey has been busy for several years
In determining the location, Quanti-
ty, quality and workable condition
of these coal deposits. This work
has been taken up with utmost vigor
during the present year, and town
ships containing more than 2S,0OO,-
900 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
the coal-land laws, and has been for
several months; also that the North
or lofl p1
is reputed to have in its own pos
session land containing over $780,
900, 900 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, 1t is easy to see that IL there
is to be coal famine next winter
such a 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.
"Thc 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-
ber l all land in the public-laDd
states Anown 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 q
leasing law which will permit com
panies to acquire control OF more
than the Gao 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 $40
and $40 per acre, over 100000 at
$50 and over 10000 at SIS. This
is in accordance with the classifica-
tion made by the survey.

The MARQUIS OF ITO
WILL RULE KOREA
As Che Resident General He Will
Control.
THE EMPEROR A FIGUREHEAD.
Neither the Government Nor Any Legis-
lative Body Can Enact Any Law or
Carry Out Any Administration Meas
use Unless Approved by the Japanese
Resident General.

Seoul (By Cable) .-Iwan-Y -Yung,
premier of Korea, acting by authority
of the Emperor, given under the
imperial seal at the palace, and Mar
quis Ito, resident general of Japan,
signed the following agreement at
midnight at the Japanese residence:
"The governments of Japan and
Korea, in view of the early attain
ment of prosperity and strength in
Korea and the speedy promotion Of
the welfare of the Korean people,
have agreed upon and concluded the
following stipulations;
Article 1.-The government or
Korea shall follow the direction of
the resident general in connection
with the reform of the administra-
tion.
article 2.-Korea shall not en-
act any law or ordinance or carry
out any administration measure un-
less it has the previous approval of
the resident general.
Article 3.-Judicial affairs of
Korea shall be kept distinct from
ordinary administration affairs.
Article 4.-No appointment or
dismissal of Korean officials of high
grade shall be made without the con-
sent of the resident general.
Article 5.-Korean shall appoint
to official position such Japanese as
are recommended by the resident
general.
Article 6.-Korea shall not en-
gage any foreigner without the con-
sent of the resident general.
Article THE first clause of
the agreement between Japan and
Korea, dated August %, 1904, is
hereby abrogated."
The agreement abrogates the ad-
visor system, especially affecting the
finance department under Advisor
Megata, who now becomes a Korean
official.
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1907-08-01

1t also affects the judicial depart
ment of the Korean government, for
which a 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, 1t is announc-
ed, is TO take control very gradual
Iy, as there is 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
expected that General Hasegawa will
and Korean government.
Anxiety regarding further inter-
ference by the throne or former
emperor in the administration of
be added to the military staff of
the government has now ended.
Marquis Ito at the head of the
japanese and Korean-Japanese coun-
ell practically is Viscount Hayashi's s
agent of administration.
The Kwan Ant Hill has been stir
red to the very cellar by the former
Emperor's second pledge of abdica-
ton. A wave of great excitement
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
tached to the court arrived in crowds
at the Palace, condoling, weeping,
wailing and incidentally carrying
away in their custmary loose cloth
ing everything detachable and port
able. The palace was lotted of all
possible souvenirs.
The ex-Emperor wept, saying that
his efforts for many years had been
a mistake, and that he should him
self have taken the proposed course,
and was then unable to continue his
speech
Knowing that the affairs of the
state had passed to a new admins
tration, he commended to the cabi-
nets benign care his son, the new
Emperor.
Arrangements have been made
with the railway authorities to bring
1000 japanese bluejackets quickly
from the squadron now at Chemulpo,
and which the admiral in command
has offered to Marquis Ito But on
account of military technicalities they
will not be called for except great
emergency arises that makes il alb
solutely necessary.

COTTON GINNING STATISTICS
The Census Bureau Perfects Its
Plans.

Washington (Special) The Cen
sus Bureau 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 and the last March 20.
The intermediate dates of publica-
tion will be October 2, October 25,
November 8, November 81, Decem-
Der 8, 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 20 will deal with
the condition on March 1.
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 he 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 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
reports in their own market on the
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 p. NJ,
when the agents complete their can
vass and make their county summar-
les for telegraphing, 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 8 and December S-fall
on Sunday and Director North stated
this evening that these two dates
would be changed.

GROWING FLAX,
Amusing Story of an Irish Marriage
Market.

There is nothing prettier than a
field of Irish fax in full bloom. The
stems are about thirty inches high.
They are slender and of pale green,
On each stem Is a flower in an ex-
quisite tone of blue, something be-
tween cornflower and forget-me-
not. The little flower is not of a
robust constitution. The petals soon
fall and then seed pod forms which
when given time to do SO, produces
quantities of what is called linseed
chin" is the Celtic name for fax).
But when the flax is grown for the
manufacture of linen it is pulled up
before the seed has had time to ma.
ture.
After having been exposed to the
air for few days the fax is laid in
water and during the fortnight that
this process lasts the odious smell
with which 1t fills the offended air is
of a remarkably powerful character.
AS the local guide says, "Shure,
it's Just the fax fermentin. It's a
powerful smell intirely, but there's
no danger in 1t, glory be to God"
The soaking makes 1t easy to sep.
arate the straw from the fiber by
bruising 1t between rollers and then
suspending 1t through an opening in
the top of machine in which a hori-
zontal shaft with wooden blades re-

Next comes the spinning into yarn,
done in immense mills, and after that
the yarn is woven into the fabric it.
self Finally comes the bleaching,
when the linen is laid out on the
green field to be whitened by rain and
sun and wind.
These long strips OF snowy white
ness on the green turf surprise the
stranger. He thinks 1t some sort of
top dressing, spread upon the land to
fertilize it. Belfast is the centre OF

IL KNOWN DEAD.
Another Tenement House Horror In
New York.

New York. (Special) 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 we're probably fatally in
jured.
At A. NJ. IA bodies had been
recovered from the ruins.
The horror was repetition of the
periodical blaze that sweeps through
the densely populated foreign sec
tion 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.
