minutes. Interviews between kings
and representatives Of our foreign
service, Of course, are sealed for all
time from public eyes and ears. In
substance, 1t appears, however, thar
the king admitted that Welsh coal
had risen beyond all reason In price
and was getting very scarce in Spain.
He would be delighted to obtain Amer.
lean coal on better terms-but, II
ships brought coal from the United>
States to Spain, couldn't they take
something back to the United States,
Being a very businesslike young king.
he was interested to know where
Spain would get OF In the deal. Spain
raises oranges galore-what about
selling Spanish oranges to Americas
teeming millions?
Thereupon. as the story Is whls-
pered about, Mr.. veditz very tactfully
submitted that more and better or.
anges are raised In the U. s. A. than
anywhere else In the world, and that
he was very regretfully forced to the
admission that, much as he desired
otherwise. there could be nothing do
Ing in oranges. Just stretch your
Imagination bit here. and, without
violating official secrets. you may both
hear and see Mr.. yeditz warming to
his argument and driving home this
clinching fact: "Your majesty, nations
may live without oranges. but show me
anywhere on the face Of the globe the
modern nation which can live without
coal"
A few strokes of the kingly pen
wiped out the transportation tax-and
we+are now selling coal to Spain to
beat the band.

COAL OUTPUT
Production in Bituminous Fields
Greatest Ever Known.
Increased Consumption by Railroads
and industries Cause Boom In
First Six Months Of Year.

Uncle Sans figures show that the
output Of bituminous coal In the Unit
ed States during the first six montfS
Of 1915 was the greatest ever recorded
In any half-year period.
Estimates by C. f. Lesher of the
geological survey, based on returns
from over hundred railroads or.gl-
mating coal and coke shipments, indi-
cate that the production during this
period was 281,0O0,O0O tons, an In
crease of IS per cent over the first six
months of 1915, and of 8 per cent
over the last six months Of the same
year. and greater by several million
tons than the record established In
the last half of 1913.
Compared with the first half Of 1918,
the exports from the Atlantic seaboard
during the first six months Of 1915 In
creased about 10 per cent, and the
exports to Canada nearly doubled.
The movement of bituminous coal
through the 500 canal on the Great
Lakes showed an increase of so per
cent, and the coal used In cooking has
increased nearly half.
Increased consumption by railroads
and by the iron and steel and nearly
all other Industries has been large
factor in establishing this record.
From April, 1915. to January Of the
present year the production Of bitumi-
nous coal increased at rapid rate,
with but temporary slackening in No
vember and December. DIE to car
shortage. The output In January. 1916.
was more than 90 per ce,.t greater
than in April, 1915, and the production
In February and March, 1915, was
nearly as great.
There Is every indication that the
production during the last six months
of 1916 will equal II not exceed the
first six months, and that the output
In the calendar year 1916 will exceed
5OO,OO0,0O0 tons, establishing a new
record for bituminous coal.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March D. What progress General Pershing has made in his pursuit of Villa since Mon day was not known at General Fun ston's headquarters today. A report from General Pershing was received here today. but it dealt with affairs of last Monday, saying that it had been reported to him that Villa and the Car ranza troops were engaged near Nami- qupa.
 At that time a detachment of the Seventh cavalry had reached Cruces, only few miles north of Namiquipa, and one of the aeroplanes sent south from Casas Grandes then was in com- munication with that force. Whether the Americans came into contact with Villas men yesterday or today was | merely guesswork here. The aero- | plane, whose driver is believed to have | been Lieutenant Gorrell, reported miss 1 ing south of Casas Grandes, was last
 seen going over ColOnia JuareZ, a set l tlement near Casas Grandes, accord
 ing to General Pershing's report. All
 but one of the aviation squadron are accounted for, according to reports re-
 ceived by General Funston. These re-

DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 22-SiX Catholic priests, who reached Nogales, Ariz.. today from Hermosillo, Guaymas and other cities in western Sonora, were deported from Mexico because they have been spreading the gospel of strife and intervention. instead of the gospel of God according to a statement issued late today by General F. Elias Gales, military governor of Sonora. at his temporary headquarters in Asua Prieta, opposite here.
 These men were ordered from Mexico only after we had proved be- yond any doubt that they had been active in supporting the 'cientifuco faction" General Gales stated. They have been urging the ignorant classes in their districts to acts that would lead to intervention in Mexico by the United States.
 q am very sorry that it was neces- sary for the state to take this action but some such action was necessary tC prevent disorders, and possible serious differences.
 At the same time I wish everyone to understand that the deportation of | these priests is not intended by the constitutiOnal government of Sonora as an unfriendly act toward the Catholic church of the state. The men were sent away merely as undesirable resi- dents.
 Should the Catholic church desir' to send good priests to Mexico to take the places of these six priests, the au- thorities of the state will welcome them. Furthermore, they will continue to be welcomed and aided in theil work so long as they confine their ac- tivities to the church.
 Tt would be an act of-what would you call itAfolly for Mexico to attemp to keep all priests from Mexico wher most of her people are Catholics. Th' priests are needed, their work will b,

FL PASO, March 22.-The silence which for two days has enveloped the Mexican situation as far as any defin- ite news of the pursuit of Rancho Villa is concerned, gave fresh force today to the numerous reports from various sources of grave disaffection among the CarranZista troops. On tie border. at least it is firmly believed that the soldiers of first chief are far from giv- ing any real cooperation to the Ameri- can eXpedtiOnary force. It is ad- mitted that General Carranza and some of his lieutenants are sincerely anxious to avoid friction with the
 United States but it is not believed that the head of the de facto govern ment represents the attitude or senti- ments of his army or fellow citizens.
 From several different sources, a circumstantial report was received to- day that the garrison at Chihuahua supposed to number 2000 men, had re- volted and that their commander General Luis Herrera had declared in favor of Villa. Andres Garcia, the CarranZa consul here, emphatically branded this report as false but in high official circles here it was accepted as ! at least possible in view of the facl 1 that more than half of the Mexican 1 troops at Chihuahua were former NillistaS.
 Since yesterday morning Genera ] Gavira at Juarez has claimed that tht { wires along the Northwestern railroad between JuareZ and CasaS Grandes have been cut and that consequently
 he could give no information in regard 1 to the reported battle at Namiquips
 between the Carranzistas and Nillistas Americans here, especially refugee ] from Mexico. are frankly skeptical bot
 as to the reported battle and the cut
 wires. They point out that severed
 communications is one of the mos familiar ruses used by Mexican off |

 WASHINGTON. March 22.-In the downfall of Yuan Shi Kai's plans for making himself emperor, hope is seen in official and diplomatic circles here for early restoration of peace in China and maintaenance of the status quo in the Far East during the Eu- ropean war.
 Press dispatches announcing the abandonment of the proposed mon- archv occasioned no great surprise, although there had been no report of the action either to the state depart ment or the Chinese legation, and recent dispatches had not indicated that the step was imminent.
 Tine province of Yunnan, rebelline against the overthrow of the republic has been maintaining it's indepen- dence of the central government for months, and reports of disconten' and revolt have come thick and fast from the southern districts
 In addition to this state of affairs at home, Yuan has faced powerful opposition to his plans from the ou.- side Great Britain, Japan and Rus sia have exerted pressure to prevent any governmental change at thi: time.
 Yuan had expected to proclaim tho monarchy and ascend the throne be fore the beginning of the new year When the time came. however, it wa announced that the proclamation hat been postponed indefinitely and unof ficially it was said that there would be no change in government untir th war was oyer It was understood the prospect of having China barred

 FL PASO, Tex, March 22.-Arrests of Villa supporters and sympathizers here and at other points along the bor der have reached wholesale proportions.
 Since the Columbus incidents Willis tas in United States territory are said to have redoubled their efforts to as sist their hunted leader AS result authorities other than the military have used every precaution to prevent com munication being established between American points and the mountain dis trict where Villa is believed to have fled.
 Against most of the suspects there is no charge other than that they did not enter the United States in the man. ner prescribed by law.
 The local police today stated that P Nillistas had been confined in the Ed Paso city jail. There are about two score others held in the county prison. In the meantime suspects are ping talk en into custody at many points along

WASHINGTON March 22=Final action on the Hay army increase bill was in sight tonight when the house adjourned. With only two import ant sections remaining to be dis cussed, passage of the measure some time tomorrow is assured.
 The bill will come up in the sen- ate probably next Monday. Chair man Chamberlain, of the senate mili- tary committee. announced today that he would await the arrival of the house bill give it brief consideration in committee and ask for it's inn mediate consideration in the senate.
 As preliminary step on army legislation. the senate passed during the day. by vote of 59 to ?, the bill virtually doubling the author ized strength of the cadet corps at West Point military academy A similar measure applying to the naval academy has been signed by the president
 The Hay bill has not been altered in any of it's broad aspects during the three-day struggle in the house with amendments. Chairman Hay has been defeated only once, having ap- proved every other change made in the detail of the measure. It is prac- tically certain the bill will go to the senate virtually as framed by the committee.
 One section still to be disposed of, however. is the vital element of the whole army plan proposed. It is the militia pay provision. under which the bill is expected to produce a force of 425,00O national guardsmen within five years substitute for the administrators continental army proposal
 The section had been read wher the house adjourned and Representa- tive Gardner. republican of Massa- chusetts, had presented an amend ment proposing to substitute for ii the federal volunteer provisions of the Chamberlain senate bill. The amendment will be debated an houl tomorrow under an agreement reached by Representatives Hay ant Gardner.
 Another important section remain ing is that authorizing construction of a plant to produce atmospheric nitrogen for use in explosives It i! certain to cause extended debate.
 The effect of the Gardner amend ment would be to leave the nationa guard federalized in every respec proposed by the bill, but without an. payment from the federal treasur. except when the miitiamen men wer called out for training periods.
 The provision of the Chamberlain bill, which is offered as a substitute is a brief authorization of the crea ton of a force of 261 900 federal vol unteers by congressional district
