statement in a bulletin just issued that
during the last year one-half as much
coal has been wasted or rendered unfit

Il is high time that more vigorous ef-
forts should be made TO reduce this

Of Investigations now under way by the
experts of the bureau. which investiga-
tions arc made tho subject Of bulletin
by Charles l.. Parsons. entitled Notes
on Mineral Waste" In his preface TO
the bulletin Dr Holmes says:
During the last year in producing 900,
GOO. 900 toys Of coal We wasted or left
underground in such condition that ~

AS TO FEDERAL TENURE
Taft Non -Committal; Roosevelt

ters recently 10 the three leading candi-
dates for President asking them to state
their position on tho proposal 10 provide
ployes I'm the executive departments In the
District Of Columbia.
President Taft rcfrained from express
ing his opinion. on tho ground that the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill, containing seven-year
tenure of office rider. was still in CON
gress and he did not deem II proper 20
state his views until that bill was before
him for action.
on August Il the President returned the
bill TO the House OF Representatives with
out his approval because OF the tenure OF
Office rider and the provision abolishing
the Commerce Court. His action is re-
garded as sufficient proof OF his opposition
TO the idea Of a set term OF office.
Governor Woodrow Wilson in his letter.
placed himself squarely in opposition TO a
tenure of office act and pledged himself
TO unqualified support of the merit system.

RELIEF WORK BY JACKIES
Women Wounded Aiding in De-
fence of Managua.
From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington. Aug. 25.-Thc situation In
Nicaragua Is causing much anxiety owing
To difficulty the Department of state is
experiencing in receiving Information
promptly from Minister George T. Welt
zcl. who is at Managua. Telegraphic
communication between the capital and
Corinto has been cut off. and messages
to the State Department are reaching
here two or three days late.
President Taft is determined to afford
every protection possible to American
lives and property He is keeping In
close touch with the situation and has
held several conferences with the Secre-
tary Of the Navy relative to dispstching
war vessels TO the west coast
Another delayed message was received
from Minister Weitzcl to-day. 1t stated
that during tho bombardment OF Man

killed. Twenty-four women, who were
actively engaged I'm helping the govern

LONDON NMARKETOUTL0OK
Good Volume of Business In
diCated for Near Future.
HARDER MONEY LIKELY
Unexpected Gold Shipment to
Germany Causes Discount
Rates to Rise.
fBy Gable 10 The Tribune. !

London, Aug. 25-The stock market
was closed on Saturday. but, Judging
by present conditions, 1t is proba BILE
that after the settlement there will be
a good volume of business. There has
been a fair amount of dealings in
Americans going on through August
and indications point TO a desire in
some quarters TO forestall the usual
autumn advance in the bank rate. which
remains at per cent, but an unex-
pected shipment Of S2.5O0OOO to Ger
many this week has caused some fore
holdings as to the amount OF gold the
Continent will demand this autumn.
and instead of ruling at the usual
autumn figure OF per cent 4 is now
believed that the bank rate Is likely
to reach full point higher.
Discounts hardened during the week
on the strength Of the shipments to
Germany Three months bills went
10 80 per cent, four months bills re-
maincd at -: while six months bills
were quoted at 3@i.
1t Is expected that the demand from
Egypt will also have a considerable in
fuence on the money market. The in
creased Egyptian cotton crop makes It
probable that more money will be re-
quired this year than in 1911. Last
year Egypt took only S17,50O,OO0 in
gold, but this year her requirements
are expected TO reach S35,0OO,0O0.
A hopeful feature of the Lombard
street situation is that New York's re-
quirements may be satisfied by govern
ment deposits from the large stock Of
cash held by the Treasury at Wash
ingtOn.
notwithstanding losses on foreign ac
counts, the Bank Of Engand's stock Of
gold increased $4,000, owing to re-
turns from the country. This makes
the reserve now $50, o,j40.0Oo and the
gold stock s2O4, 100000 The proper
tion of reserve 10 liabilities Is about
the same as last weck-viz.. 1886.

Or. Morrison's Career.

Dr. Morrisou's career has been re-
marksble. lie is an Australian, a fact
he never forgetS and of which he is very
proud. He has been here for The
Times" for years and no one is better
known than he. His knowledge aud per
sonallty are such that he has as much
influence as any of the foreign diploma ia
here and more than most of them No
situation is complete without Dr. Nor
rison in IT, The Chinese have gone to
him for years for advice and assistance,
and he has won their sincere friendship.
Diplomats. too. like 10 hear his opinions,
and his articles and kilograms in the
powerful Times" have more than once
altered the course of events in the Far
East.
The man is not only of an adventurous
nature, but he is a statesman of ability. a
traveller OF renown and scholar. His
greatest love in the world is his mag
nificent collection of books on Far East
ern things. II is the most complete library
of the sort in the world and is worth
probably 100000. DIR. Morrison has
secured the world for works on China, and
his books date back TO original editions
of Marco Polo. Booksellers and collec-
tors all over the world have standing
orders to report their finds to Dr. Morri-
son. who is forever adding to his already
wonderful collection. Now that he has
become adviser 10 the government, the
Chinese nation will profit more than ever
by the existence of this collection. Re
Gently Dr. Morrison had it in mind to
sell his library and return to Australia
there to enter public life, but he has now
abandoned that intention.
Dr. Morrison is u man of strong build
and powerful face. which exudes person
ality His voice is low and his manner
quiet, although his convictions are strong
and his opinions well defined. as well as
sound. Although but fifty, his hair has
turned gray.
