The Russian dynasty is in imminent
danger of dying out and the present
Emperor Nicholas Is likely to be the
last of the Romanoffs to occupy the
imperial throne, according to writer
in Free Russia" newspaper appear
ing in London. He says:
THE young Alexis, the emperor's
only son is suffering from an incurable
disease -tuberculosis Of the bones, it
is said-and can only be kept alive a
few months longer The emperor him
self has become the victim Of fits of
melancholy. His consort, the unfortu-
nate empress, Is still suffering acutely
from a complete nervous breakdown.
The question arises, therefore, who
W be the heir to Nicholas the second,
. will he be the last Of the autocrats
Of Russian The daughters of Nicholas
cannot ascend the throne because
Paul I, who hated his august mother,
Catherine the Great, made law where
by it became impossible for woman
to reign in Russia. Therefore, in case
of the demise of Nicholas II, the throne
should fall to his brother Michael But
this is hardly possible, since he has
renowned all his rights and has mar
ried morganatically Russian lady
with whom he lives very happily far
from court intrigues."
I The writer then discusses the grand
dukes, but finds insuperable objections
to all of them.

the END or HARD COAL.

D In about 81 years the anthracite coal
deposits in Pennsylvania shall nave
been exhausted. according to M. 8.
,Hachita, chemist Of the Lehigh Valley
Coal co. Mr.. Hachita quoted several
authorities. The geological survey OF
PENNSYLVANIA states that there were
orig1nally approximately 1915 billion
tons of anthracite in the ground In that
state. Assuming 40 per cent as the
quantity possible of extraction, 7.8 bill
lion tons is then the initial available
supply. Since 1920 nearly 2 billion
IONS have been mined, which would
leave nearly billion available. T.
rs. Harris estimated that there were
something like 14.45 billion tons
soriginally In the ground, making. by
the same process Of calculation, about
~ billion available. According to A.
d, W. Smith, about 5.56 billion tons
still remain to be mined. In 1896,
William Griffith made an estimate from
which it is computed that about bill
lion available tons remain IN the
ground. ~.
The average Of these four expert es-
Inmates show that there are still 5.O7
billion tons OF coal possible of being
mined. The average annual produc-
ton for the past 10 years has been
62,s17,910 tons; at this rate the
available supply would last 81 years;
but the present years production
would reach 100000 tons. Engin-

THE OVERTHROW OF TAMMANY.
The crushing defeat of Tammany in
New York City, as the direct result OF
the sulzer impeachment, is a victory
for good government in which the
nation may we'll rejoice. It is the old
story Of insolence and jobbery over
reaching itself and bringing down
upon it's head merited castigation.
A few weeks ago the fusion cause
In New York seemed to be ON pre-
carious, If not hopeless, footing. The
managers had played politics inaptly
and become involved In confusion.
Tammany, with apparent astuteness'
had chosen 80 eminently Respectable
43gurehead as Mccall, lately judge
of the superior court. The only bur
den resting upon the democrats
seemed to be the onerous one OF
counting their plurality.
The invisible government, drunk
with power and tnsOlence, reached our
its long arm and snatched Sulzer from
the poyernorship. The people recog-
nized the real issue and sustained the
right even when the standard bearer
was 80 fiimsy q creature as Sulzer mad
been proved to be. The pubic pc
1ieyed that Tammany removed him
from once not because he had been
tpeccant and weak as man but
cause at last he had decided to eh-
stand Tammany's assaults up the
state treasury.
The people rallied to Sulzer or
against Tammany with surprising en-
thusiasm. The Hennessy charges,
supported by Suffers accusations; the
revelations Of barter and sale OF judge
ships: contract swindling; deep, per-
Nasive corruption; the subversion OF
government and rule by criminal so
ctety sank down into the conscious
ness OF the people, and Tammany re-
helves the most significant casttgatlon
