Personal ing during the year pre-
r.,,:. ceding the war between
oVAAAsAVA' the states:
yesterday afternoon a personal col
lision occurred between Messrs. Edmund
son of Virginia and Hickman Of Penn
sylvania. About 3lk pm. Messrs. Ed
mundson, Keitt and Vice President
Breckinridge, in company with two other
gentlemen, were leaving the Capitol. and
when about half way down the Avenue
way Of the Capitol grounds they met Mr..
Hickman, who was apparently unaccom-
panied. MIR. Edmundson walked up to
Mr.. Hickman and some words passed be-

of Mr.. Hickman apparently that made
on the occasion of a late serenade),
which ended In Mr.. Edmundson dealing a
severe blow to Mr.. Hickman upon the
head, knocking off his hat, and following
up the assault by some cuts with a

In The Star of February Z, 1860. Is the
following paragraph:
I'VE perceive that 1t has been determin-
ed to divorce the agricultural bureau of the
nectiOn with the patent Office-a sensible
move, for which Secretary Thompson de-
serves the thanks Of the country. Its
connection with the patent bureau never
was legitimate, and always was q source
of embarrassment to both. The new head
Of the bureau, Mr.. Clemson, we regard as
being better fitted to make II Of substan-
tlal value to the country at large than
any other gentleman we know of. First
because he Is entirely above and beyond
the reach of sinister influences in his
conduct of the trust. Next, because he
is one Of the best Informed scientific
agriculturists, and one Of the most ex-
perienced practical farmers In the land,
and person OF great industry, inteIli.

because he Is impelled to undertake the

1850, is the following:
Last night number Of colored men
were arrested and taken to the guard
on a charge Of unlawful assemblage. The
hour OF arrest was quarter past 8 o'clock.
The prisoners, explaining their assem-
blage, said that they were members OF
the Order of Ancient York Masons, and
that they had met in his private house
for the purpose Of discussing the pro-
priety of Withdrawing from the lodge to
which they belonged and organizing a
new one. Justice Dom, upon looking for
the law under which to try them failed
to discover any law Of the corporation
which had been violated by them, and so
he set the time of trial at 81 o'clock this
evening, so that the charge may be made
out by the prosecuting witnesses. The
third section Of the act of 1897 refers to
idle and disorderly' assemblages, ana
the sixth section of that act provides that
they shall not go at large after 10 O'Clock
pm. without pass from the justice of
the peace or respectable citizen. This as
semblage being in private house and not
after the hour fixed by the law, the mag
but, presuming that there must be some
other ground for the arrest, he ruled the
trial till this evening"
The defendants were finally tried under
the act of 1885 and were found guilty
and fined from one to five dollars and
costs. The judge was still In doubt, but
was aided In his ruling by the corpora
tion attorney. who declared that in his
opinion all meetings OF colored persons
Of secret character, when bound by
oath, were unlawful assemblages at any
hour.

but imposed the condition that on an
intersecting line connecting Lauen-
burg with the neighboring town OF
Buechen the residents of these two
towns should ride free. This line is
less than twenty kilometers long.
Lauenburg's population has grown
rapidly in the intervening years and
is now nearing $4,000. The Pruss1an
railway officials who hitherto have
submitted to the original conditions
have discovered that the resulting loss
of revenues amounts to many thou
sands of marks.
Lauenburg refuses to relinquish its
rights except on the condition that it
receive a handsome cash compensa-
tion-namely, sum equal to the total
estimated fares its citizens would have
to pay in period of twenty years. 1t
is the matter of compensation that is

MUCH COAL IN PHILIPPINES.
Deep Mining Unnecessary, and Supply
is Large.

Deep Mining Unnecessary, and Supply
is Large.
The extent of the coal deposits of
the Philippines cannot as yet be stat
ed with much accuracy, as some of
the fields have not been worked at all,
so that we are confined to estimates.
However, according to the most con-
servative of these estimates, the supply
is sufficient to last for years.
The coal fields cover a large area,
and the veins are reasonably thick, the
principal vein which has as yet been
discovered having a thickness of sew
enteen feet of merchantable coal. This
will compare very favorably with the
thickness Of veins in the other coal
fields of the world. being several times
the average thickness Of the coal veins
on the continent of Europe.
Other veins are much thinner. but
for some time these will not need to be
worked. Nor for some time will it be
necessary to resort to deep mining. In
the Uling mines alone nearly 100000
tons are to be found above the river
level.
While 100000 tons of coal does not
seem like large quantity to Amer
leans, it means an enormous amount to
the development of the industries of
the Philippine Islands But this is only
one of the many mines in the island of
Cebu, which is but one of the many
coal producing islands of the archipel-
ago.

PEAK HIGHER THAN EVEREST.
Teram kansri of Karakoram Range
Given Honor.

Teram kansri of Karakoram Range
Given Honor.
It was mentioned some time ago that
the Indian survey had thrown doubt
on the hitherto accepted figure of o.
002 feet as the height of the worlds
highest mountain, Mount Everest.
This, however, did not mean that it
was lower than that, but that so many
things operated to prevent accuracy in
the trigonometrical measurement of
the summit that the height might be
only 2S,7OO feet or as much as %, 14O
feet
Until quite recently. however, either
Of those values would have left Ever
est supreme, but a rather sensational
statement by a DR.. Longstaff for the
first time places Everest second to the
highest mountain peak.
DR.. Longstaff is a veteran Himala-
yam explorer, and he tells of a vast
wall of peaks he discovered in the
Karakoram range, northeast of the
Saltoro pass. one of which he roughly
estimated to be over 5000 feet high.
On taking observations he made its
height 2S,200 feet and later from more
favorable positions something like 3d.
600 feet
Unwilling to dethrone Everest, DR..
Longstaff, it would appear, took the
lowest possible value his observations
permitted, and as he is a most trust
worthy authority where mountain
heights are concerned it is possible
that this peak, which he has named
Terrain Kangri, will shortly take its
place in biographies and aliases as the
highest known mountain on the globe.
