as follows;

expansion in mining and manufactur-

ca Tho extensive employment of
Southern and Eastern Buropeans has
seriously affected tho native American
and older Immigrant employees from
Great Britain and Northern Europe by
causing disbursements and rstaruing
advancement in rates OF pay and Inn

(3) Industrial efficiency among the

their illiteracy and inability to speak

Lime and Brick cIayu.

Tho value OF the production of lime
virginia for 1908 amounted to S%24.-
St- Nearly half OF this amount was
produced in Shenandoah. Warren and
Loudoun. three counties tributary TO
tho Southern Railway. There Ia an
increasing demand In the State for
caustic lines for building and fortiliz-
Ing purposes.
Virginia contains variety of Wide
~ distributed clays. both residual and
seoiinentary. which are suitable for
many economic purposes. The prin-
clple use thus Tar made of tho Virginia
clays ID in the manufacture OF brick
and tile. The total value OF brick and

was sl,46b.6o9. More than three
fourths of this amount wna produced

Marble aud RutiIe.
II is remarkable fact that. not
withstand!ng the variety and quality
OF marble known to occur In Virginia
the development thus far has been
but slight. In Loudoun county is an
occurrence of very excellent fine
grained white marble, with some blue
and white, pink and white and green
and white varieties. which have been
worked in small way.
The occurrence Of this rare mineral
IN commercial quantities is only known
TO four localities in tho world. The
market value at present Is between SOC
and $3.50 peg ton, according to its
purity. SO far as can be learned, the
deposits of rutile in Nelson county
are the purest and most extensive In
the world. The demand for this
mineral Is constantly increasing
though only one mine Is operating in
the district at present, and most of the
ore mined is exported.
Coal and Iron.
The mines through Henrico and
Chesterfield counties are among the
Oldest In the country. and yield OK
cellent coal for gas, domestic and
steam purposes. In Amelia and Pow
hatan counties and in the Southwes,
part Of the State there are extensive
beds OF aemi-anthracite coal Of fine
quality. V!rginia's coal production In
1909 was 4.752.217 tons.
The value Of the production Of Iron

son, DR.. Ho Seong, former Honolulan,
who was within the city during the at

narrow escape from the city and Of the
horrible massacres made by the Man
chu soldiers. Before the attack on the
city an Imperial proclamation was is
sued, diTeeting the soldiers to execute
all the queueless Chinese who should
fall into their hands.
On the third of November, Doctor Ho
received word of the possible attack by
the Manchus, and hastily fled to Shang-
hal with his wife and his three chill
dren, leaving all of his things behind.
After staying in Shanghai for two days,
word was received of the quiet at Nam

Then came the horrible execution Of
great number of Chinese who had been
captured.
The city gates were all closed by the
imperial troops to prevent the Chinese
from escaping. Doctor Ho, in attempt
ing his escape saw the execution of
many queueless men as well as women
and children. Some were brought to
the stand and beheaded without asking
them any question. Meantime a gem
eral massacre took place throughout
the city.
Doctor Ho, seeing his danger was
imminent, went immediately to the
American consul Is residence to seek
refuge. There he found more than
sixty Americans. Fortunately $50
marines were landed from the Uniteu
States cruiser New Orleans to guard
the American legation. After remain
ing there for two days, Mr.. Crazy and
body of marines escorted the refugees
out of the city to the railroad station.
Meanwhile Doctor Hos cousin had
fallen into the hands of the Manchus.
He was led to the place of execution,
and stripped. He resisted and was
therefore tried by some Of the Imperial
leaders. They soon found that he was
an official to the government of Ger
