 Baltimore. Feb. 21-- Special )--In- teresting facts about coal fields con- taining about 5000, 100000 tons and hardly yet in the beginning of their de- velopment are set forth in this week. Q issue nf The Manufacturers Record by Professor Charles M. Gould. of Okla
 He deals with me coal felds of the new State, of which the principal one in it's main body. extends uninterrupt- ediy from the Arkansas line near Fort Smith for a distance of 12S miles to the southwest and embraces 4S7749 acres.
 This land was originally set apart for the benefit of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian Nations as a whole. Estimates of the contents of this field range from 1000 tons to 1000 tons DOT acre or from a total of 1,252 ,916,U00 to 3.000.0 900 tons, the smaller estimate being based upon present wastaful methods of mining in the region, where is utilized and the discarding of num- Der of veins from two to three feet thick, and the larger estimate being baged upon what will actually be taken from the field by the proper mining of
 There is a large amount of coal thought to be as great in quantity as that in this Eastern Oklahoma field, that has. been allotted to individual Indians. Four of the workable veins outcrop in the old Cherokee and Creek Nations The thickest of these veins enters Oklahoma from Kansas and passes southa ss far as Vintta. An- other vein enters the State in Nowata County and passes south through Washington and Tulsa Counties. There are half n dozen more veins of vary ing thickness in different parts of the State and one in Haskell and Pitts burg Counties has an area of more thar 10000 acres.
 These facts about Oklahoma sug. gest the riches of the South and South west that are yet to be developed. An other fact especially suggestive at this time of depression in many quarters. is the development work that is being pushed in the Potts Creek Valley of Virginia, just over the West VtrRinia In railroad construction. all of which was financed before the present fnan- ciai stress, and of more than $500 900 in mining iron-ore, shipments of which to Virginia furnaces have already be- gun. ,, has built in to the field a line twenty ern Railway expects to complete an ex- tension to the field by July, and $500. .O0O have been spent in the installation of mammoth ore-washors. steam shovels.
 The ore varies in thickness from tan or twelve feet to sixty feet and runs from forty-hve to sixty per cent met- cokinE coals of the Norfolk and Vest ern and New River fields. while in close proximity are heavy seams of limestone for huxing purposes.

 Washington, Feb. 21.--Senators Brandage and Flint today sought to have the Senate Committee on Educa- tion and Labor report back to the Sem ate the La Toilette employers liability bill, with request that 1t be sent to the Judiciary Committee which has ju- risdiction of the Knox bill on the same subject.
 The motion was rejected and hear ings on the LaFollette bill will be con- tinued. Legislative agents of railroad labor organizations announced that the LaFollette bill represented their views and that the Knox bill Is unsat- isfactory to them. and is due largely to their request that Jurisdiction was retained by te Committee on Education and Labor. Opponents of the bill were to have been heard today. but ex-Sena. tor Falkner. of West Virginia. who rep- resented a number of railroads. an- nounced that he was not ready to pro- ceed as he had not received sufficient notice to prepare himself.

 New York, Feb. 21.-Bradstreet' will say tomorrow:
 Widespread storms has had the effect of duliGng distributive trade interrupt ing railway traflc and restricting the movement of grain to market to the smallest volume in twenty-two months. In addition, floods in the Ohio and tributary valleys have restricted tn- dustrial operations for a time. Job ping trade judging from the reports received, continues hopeful as recently noted a good sized aggregate of small orders for immediate or near shipment being reported at leading markets. Millinery, dry goods and kindred lines are in chief demand with staple goods preferred to novelties which latter are rather neglected. Retail trade is at a transition point and Is quiet as whole. responding to the decreased purchasing power of the wage-earn- ing classes.
 Industrial affairs show little change with shut downs or short time about counterbalancing assumptions. There is more doing in finished lines of iron and steel, but in crude form rather less is doing. and the leading producing in- terests in woolen goods reports 65 per cent of its looms idle. Shoe shipments are little larger at the East and full time has been resumed at the leading Western manufacturing centers but shipments are still well behind. Cot ton goods are no lower but prices are very irregular with jobbers in many instances cutting below manufacturers prices. There is considerably more do- ing in export trade in light weight cottons for China. some prices report Al AfP0rtn0a

JAPAN's PROGRESS.

Japan is the youngest of the civilized powers
but Japan has profited by the experience of other
people, and has decided that the proper thing for
then set about the building of navy if convenient
1t is said that Japan intends to pay off the enor
debt incurred by the war with Russia in
amounts og $25000000 yearly. To do this, it has
been necessary to cut the appropriation for the
support of the army and navy in two. And this
is the same Japan that we have heard so much
about in regard to a war with this country; the
Japan that the political jingoes have told us
was making preparations to wipe the United States
off the map; the same Japan that has looked with
covetous eyes upon the Philippines, according to
the political prophets and newspaper agtators. If
the political jingoes and newspaper agitators are
right at least the denouement of the plot is to
only at some distant date, for Japan's refusal to
ente ractively into naval construction at this time
proves that she has no aggressive policies be
ried out this year or next.
Japan certainly has shown a moral courage that
no other nation can boast Of course, it may be
asserted that her poverty has led her to abandon
her naval program, but the people of other nations
have felt the burden of carrying forward the paval
programs of their own countries, and have been
compelled to violate the union rules in order to
meet their tax assessments A little less national
pride of pomp and circumstance and little more
regard for the interests of the people would lead
all the other nations to imitation of the action
of the japanese government. Japan is setting the
example; let the other nations follow.

FIRELEsS COOKERY.

Although the phrase ''freless cookery" is some
what misleading nasmuch as it is necessary to
have a fire to start the good work of getting a
meal, 1t has been demonstrated that good meal
can be cooked without fire after the food has been
once brought to the cooking point, by simply pac-
ing the cooking utensil and contents into box and
securely packed with paper or other non-heat-con-
Quoting material 1t is not intended for short-or-
der restaurants, for the freless method of cooling
is much slower than cooking over fire But it has
been conclusively demonstrated that the same, or
even better results in some instances, are to be at
tanned by slow heat than by intense heat if the slow
heat is continuous. Whereas potatoes may be boiled
sufficiently in half hour to make them edible,
they also be cooked done in several hours if
placed in the proper conditions without any more
fire than enough to bring the water to boil.
The requirements of freless cooker are sim
pie All that is needed is box with tight-ftting
lid, and plenty of packing material that is non
conductor of heat The packing is the important
part of the new stove Paper, torn up into shreds,
is recommended. The object is to conserve the
heat and let it do its work slowly. With this re-
qulrement met, all that is necessary to get meal
while the good wife is engaged in other household
duties or out to the club meeting discussing the
servant girl problem is that the article to be cooked
shall be heated to the boiling point and securely
packed in the freless cooker. There the food is
to remain undisturbed for two to six hours, ac-
cording to the article being prepared, and it will
cook without any further attention. No matter
what the article is, it does not need any watching
to prevent burning. It can't burn. 1t just cooks
The new scheme can be tried without any expense
to the experimenter if he has an old box basket or
other receptacle in which to pack the cooking uten-
sill, and the ingenuity required is of small con-
sequence that any school boy supply it. The
freless cooker, of course, should be set in mod
erately warm place while it does its work
