The Filipinos are quick to learn
and are already given a large share
In their own provincial and munich
pal governments and the time Is rap
idly approaching when they can be
safely entrusted with all government,
but not yet. AS a people they had
been SO long subject to a monarchial
form of government that the prin-
ciples of self-government have to be
instilled into them. and that is being
done just as fast as 1t can possibly
be done. and the results are really
wonderful.

Fine Vein of Coal.

Williston. N. D., Oct. 18.-A. new
departure in coal mining in the Will
liston' region has been made during
he past few weeks when the new
firm of IIusebSe & Ellithcrpe opened
up Il mine on the first hill two miles
east of the city.
The owners of this mine found out
during the past summer that the coal
exposed at the east side Of the hill
gave no true index of tho quality of
coal deep beneath the surface of this
high ridge, but tina underlying this
mass of clay are two ten-foot veins
Of the very best quality of Ignite.
To avoid the necessity of digging

a down hill road the shortest distance

Ellithorpe conceived the idea Of con-
structing a shaft near the top of the
hill and hosting the coal to the sur

coal Immediately from the nearest
point. This shaft. sixty feet deep. has
been made. steam machinery installed
for hosting, buildings erected for the
care of miners and the new mine is

London, Oct. 17.-Although the
threat of Sir Edward Carson and his
orangemen followers in northern 1re-
land to start a rebellion in case Irish
home rule becomes an established
fact has created considerable nervous
ness in England, 1t has failed to wor-
ry the liberal government. 1t Is true
that there is a great deal of OPPOSE
ton to Irish home rule in Protestant
Ulster, but this opposition say gov
eminent leaders will not take the form
Of actual rebellion.
Sir Edward G,arson's claims about
the strength Of the volunteer move
ment are declared to be grotesque.
He promises to have a quarter Of a
million men in the field, but there
are only 100000 men between the
ages of Is and 81 in all Ulster. iu-

these men were made martyrs of

however King George used language
about the officers volunteering for
Carson's rebellion that startled his
hearers.

Carson assures his orange follow
ers that they u no risk. because

mutiny rather than attack them. This
is also a bluff. for although he has
sympathizers among the officers in
the army, he has not the slightest rea-

Carson's volunteers who paraded
in the recen demonstration at Bel

rifles among them. AS the population
of Belfast is $4,000, and as that city
is the chief center Of orangeism, this
comparatively feeble muster was a
revelation to those who have taken
the threatened "revolt" seriously. 1t
was also noted that the well-to-do
elements which took part in Carson's

Chemical Engine at Edinburg Pre-.
Edinburg, N. b., Oct. 1S.-The sue
cessful use of chemical engines at the
fire which Quilted the Merchants hotel
here recently, is being freely COM
mented upon since. and the general
opinion is that had 1t not been for
these often underestimated pieces of
fire-f1ghting apparatus. the property
loss would have been much greater.
The Robertson lumber yard. in the
near vicinity of the hotel. the Wick

fact that the f1remen kept the flames
confined to the hotel by the use Of
chemicals before the fire apparatus
was in working order, is considered as
responsible for heading of a costly
conflagration.
