000.0 tons of Ignite, the supply of
bituminous coal being something more
| than that OF all other grades ooInbins
cd
The total production OF coal TO the
close of 1911 has amounted to 2,27U,-
79S,737 short tons OF anthracite and
| 6,46S. 1893 800 tons Of bituminous coal,
or an aggregate Of s.7S9,572,427 tons,
! This total production 10 the close of
1871 represents, including the waste
OF coal III mining, an exhaustion of the
beds equal OF 14.1sf. $4,000 short
tons. or somewhat less than 05 per
cent OF the original supply. In other
words, the quantity OF coal stlll re
naming 10 be mined amounts to B.
062 ,022 100000 short tons. or little
more than 99.5 per cent Of the original
supply. The annual rate of exhaustion
at the present time az represented by
the production In 1910 and 1911 IL
OOPS per cent of the supply
The quantity of coal still In the
ground at the close OF 1910 was 5000
times the production of that year. or,
estimating a half ton of coal lost for
every ton recovered. the supply Is
equivalent to 1000 times the present
annual rate of exhaustion.
The first mention OF the occurrence
OF coal in the United States, according
10 the United States Geological Sur
vey, is made In the juornal of Faith er
Hennepin, French Jesuit missionary,
who in 1879 recorded the site of a
coal mine" ON Illinois river, near the
present city OF Ottawa, III. The first
actual mining OF coal was In the Rich
mond Basin, Va. about 20 years after
Father Henepins discovery in Illinois,
but the first records of production
from the Virginia mines were for the
year 1892, when, according to one
authority. $4,000 tons were mined
Ohio probably ranks second in prior
ity production, as coal w1s discovered
there In 1875. but the records OF pro-
dnction date back only 20 1923. The
mining OF anthracite in Pennsylvania
began about 1870, and Il is said that
In 1907 "a tons were shipped TO Co

armistice and it is believed that
the negotiations will begin at
once.
The Chatalja forts are hold
ing out stronger than the Bull
garians expected and this may
give the Turks some advantage
in making their peace terms.
The truce which was granted
yesterday for the purpose of
burying the dead Of both arm
les seems to be still in effect as
there has been no firing heard
north of Constantinople this
morning.
A Sofia dispatch says that the
cessation of the attack by the
Bulgarians on the Notifications
in front of Constantinople is due
to the request of the Turks for
an armistice.
1t is declared that King Ferd-
inand has given up the idea of
trying to enter Constantinople
by force.
1t is announced that the nego-
tiations for peace have already
been commenced by the plenipo-
tentiaries of the Balkan League
and those of the Ottoman en-
pire.
The cessation of hostilities in
dictate that truce has already
been proclaimed and the final
treaty of peace begun.
The stubbornness of the Turk
ish defenses may bring better
terms to Turkey than was
thought a few days ago.
1t is really the cholera scourge
that has brought the war to an
end as the ranks of the surviv-
ors of both armies are being raw
aged by the dreadful plague, and
has placed the possibility of
carrying on the war beyond hui
man endurance.
The demands of Austria
which have been transmitted to
the Servian government has
made the Austro-Servian situa-
ton acute and the situation is
causing the great powers of Eu-
rope to tremble. This situation
again opens up the possibility of
a war in which the great powers
of Europe may become involved.

Fighting Contiued

LONDON, Nov. 20--The report
that an armistice has been agreed to
by the Bulgarians and Turks along
the the Tchatalja lines for the burial
of the dead appears TO have been I'M
founded. Dispatches from Nazim
Pasha the Turkish commander-in-
chief, show that the artillery duel
continued throughout the day.
The Turks claim successes against
the Bulgarians. but there is nothing
to indicate that the Bulgarians have
yet made any serious attempt to pen
etrat, the lines The battle may be
ended at any moment by Turkey ac-
cepting the allies terms for an arm
istice, which are said to include the
surrender Of the Tchatalja lines, Ad-
rianople, Druzza and Scutari.
There is possibility. however,
that Turkey may decline to surrend-
er Tchatalja While her western ar
my has been completely defeated
she still possesses, according to the
correspondents at the front, HON
egenous army behind the TchatalJa
Notifications, largely composed OF
some of her best lighting material
from the Asiatic provinces, which has
not yet been in action. Moreover
the decentralization and dsorganiza
ton which followed the Kirk-Kiliesseh
and Lule Burgas retreats appeared
to have been remedied and the army
is now we'll supplied with food and
ammunition.
Under these circumstances, the
port may be induced to make a fur

easter peace conditions. Evidently
Bulgaria has brought up all her avail
able forces to attack Tchatalja. in
Guiding some of the Servian troops
but the task of crushing the Turkish
defence may prove difficult one.
Dissentions Menacing
The prospect Of European dissen

more menacing. Austria has not pre-
scented an actual ultimatum to Seryia

certain inquiries which she has for

very strained. and Servia's evident

To Discuss Peace Terms.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 20
Maxim Pasha, commander-in-
chief of the Turkish army and
Turkish minister of war has APP
pointed delegates to discuss the
terms of the proposed armistice
with the Bulgarians.
1t is regarded as certain here
that unless the peace negotia-
tons fail Gar Ferdinand will
not attempt to force an entry in
to Constantinople.
Both sides have now appoint
ed plenipotentiaries and it is be-
lieved that the negotiations will
begin at once.
Turkey faces the prospect of
surrendering Adrinople, Scutari,
Janina and Chatalja forts.
