Big Scheme on Foot to Increase Exports
to Europe.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 25.—H. S. Flem-
ing, secretary of the Anthracite coal oper-
ators’ association, will sail today for Eu-
rope. Mr. Fleming made a tour of Europe
two years ago to investigate the possibili-
ties of increasing the, export anthracite
coal business of the Un,!ted States. It is
understood that the present trip is to ar-
range additional facilities for carrying
both anthracite and bituminous coal
across the ocean and for 'handling it when
it arrives at the various Mediterranean
ports. There' is reasori' to believe that the
organization of a new transportation com-
pany is contemplated for the express pur-
pose of carrying large quantities of coal to
Europe. Mr. Fleming, it is understood,
has secured bids for the construction and
equipment of new ocean going steamships
of large capacity, both from American
ship building companies and from com-
panies in England, Belgium and Norway.

New York University School of Com-
merce, Accounts and Finance.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 25.—Chancellor
Henry M. McCracken has announced the
founding of a new department in the Uni-
versity of New York, to be opened Oct. 1.
It will be known as the School of Com-
merce, Accounts and Finance', and will bo
for the improvement of the standard of
business education and for furnishing a
complete course for the higher profes-
sional accountants.
The work of the school is to be carried
on at the new university building in
Washington square. Two years of study
are to be required for the completion of a
course, at the end of which a degree, like
that of the bachelor of commercial science
Will be granted.
Mr. Parsell’s Recollections of the Great
Statesman’s Visits to- ‘That Hostelry.
New York Sun.
Mr. Parsell, who- is in business at 127 Lib-
erty street, is an old New Yorker who has
known the City Hall region of the city
from childhood, and he is a mam well On in
years mow. He was born in a house that
stood in Broadway, opposite the City Hall
park, near Murray street,, and his wife was
born in another house nearby, one that
stood where no-w is the Chemical bank.
Speaking of the old times one day this
week, he said:
“When I was. a boy I ran errands and
helped in various ways in a haberdashery
store that was in the Astor house, corner
of Vesey street, the place now occupied by
a ticket office of the Pennsylvania railway.
Daniel Webster was at the Astor house
frequently in those days and I remember
him very well. He used to- buy a great
many things in our store and always had
them sent in to the hotel to be paid for
there. He never had any money. I have
carried many purchases to- him. He had a
parlor up one flight, I think, and there al-
ways was a crowd; of people about him
there. The champagne and other things
tha,t went to that room for him and his
friends to drink would float a ship. We
always understood, and I guess it is true,
that he never paid anything at the hotel,
did not even pay for the things that he
bought and had sent to- him there C. O. D.
Coleman & Stetson kept the hotel then,
and I guess they made money enough by
keeping him free and paying his bills.
There was a constant stream of wine go-
ing to his room which his callers bought
and kept flowing. 'The hotel could well af-
ford to miake no charges against him in
view of the custom he brought. He was
magnificently indifferent about what any-
thing cost. He used to- buy his gloves of
us for one thing—white kids when he was
going to lecture or speak in the- evening.
Ho wore an 8% glove and he would split
or ruin three'or four pairs before he got
one to suit him. As fast as he tore or split
a pair of gloves he would throw them on
the floor. When he had selected a pair
and got them on without ruining them he
would tell us to send them into the hotel
and get our money for them. We always
gathered up the torn gloves from, the floor,
putting them in with the- others an‘d charg-
ing them in the bill. We always were paid
without a word. The Astor house in those
days was the chief resort for great men.
Kossuth and Henry Clay a fid Edwin For-
rest—I have seen them all there. But
Webster was the king of them all—a thick-
set, rather short man, as I remember him,
Captain Clara Ward.
>W/ss Clara Ward, Captain in the
Salvation Army, in a letter from Ogden,
Utah, writes:
‘ ‘As a tonic I find that Penina is much
to he recommended. It is certainly the
best medicine I know of to build up
anyone worn out with work or broken
down in general health. ”
Mrs. J. A. Bashor, Knoxville, Tenn.,
writes: “My health was completely
broken down and has been for almost a
year. I could not rest day or night, but
suffered constantly untold misery.
Tried remedy after remedy but found
no relief until Peruna was recommended
to me by a friend. I have taken one
and a half bottles and am to-day well

Train Butchers Will Be Discarded by
Lehigh Valley Road.
New York/ N. Y., Aug. 25.—Passengers
on Lehigh Valley trains w'ill not. be able
to purchase newspapers, fruit, candy, etc.,
on the trains after Sept. 1, as it has been
decided to abolish the custom of carrying
newsboys on trains. Many complaints
have been made about the manner In
which the boys peddle their goods, and i*
is believed that they are more of a nuis-
ance than an advantage to passengers*
miles. This is covered in 25 minutes, in-
cluding 13 stops. This is.done by means of
two single traick tubes, which of course
prevents the running of express trains.
The New York line will.- contain four
tracks and express trains will run from
the 'City hall to the northernmost end of
the island in from 18 to 19- minutes.
“The engineering work in London is ad-
mirable and the rolling stock is an im-
provement even over than, on the New
York elevated railroad, as the cars are
better lighted and better furnished.”
‘The middle of August finds London in
the apogee of the season, while the exodus
of returning tourists is limited only to the
carrying capacity of the outgoing steam-
ers. Mr, C. A. Gillig, who is an expert at
calculating American travel in Europe,
said to a reporter of the Associated Press:
“It is nonsense to talk, about 150,003
Americans crossing the Atlantic this sea-
son. Their numbers are always exagger-
ated. 'There is only a certain number of
trans-Atlantic lines, each limited to- a
number of ships of well known capacity.
Going over the question with a little care
I estimate that there will be about 85,000
Americans in Euro-pe during the season.
The tide of travel is westward now and
until Oct. 1 will be tremendous. The
Oceanic took 390 cabin passengers Wednes-
day and the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse
280 to- 300. The fact that 86 Americans left
the Carlton hotel that day show's how-
strong the homeward procession is.”
It is not often that any American resi-
dent in. England secures a place in Vanity
Fair’s portrait gallery and far less fre-
quently does the subject of these pleasant
caricatures resent them. Not so little
“Johnnie” Reiff, however, who is the sub-
ject of this week’s cartoon. Reiff, who
cares more about kittens and candies than

unnatural position of my hands, but why

New York, Nv Y„ Aug. 25.—A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The report telegraphed from Washing-
ton that Germany is preparing to make
San Francisco a base- of supplies, with a
view of sending a very powerful army to
China, has attracted 'considerable atten-
tion. Your correspondent has made in-
quiries on the subject in> shipping circles,
and finds that German orders for stores
and provisions are sufficiently extensive to
lend probability to> this rumor. It cer-
tainly would not surprise the diplomatic
authorities here if theGerman force should
eventually reach a total of 40,000 or 50,000
men.
Some importance may possibly be at-
tached to the meeting which the prince of
Wales had with the German e'mperor yes-
terday. The prince, in, company with the
duke of Cambridge, who-, it will be remem-
bered, preceded Lord Wolesley as com-
mander in chief of the British army, drove
from Homburg to Castle Freidrichsdorp to
meet the emperor and empress and Dow-
ager Empress Frederick. Subsequently
the emperor accompanied the prince and
duke back to Homburg and had a long
private conversation with them at their
ho-tel. It is commonly understood that the
British heir apparent does not interfere in
political matters, and in a general way
this is true, but in their foreign policies
there is a good deal of private communica-
tion between- the English and German
courts, and it is extremely likely that the
kaiser and his uncle discussed the out-
lines of a Chinese policy which may be
pursued by their respective empires. On
more than one previous occasion the
prince has been employed as a kind of
dignified and superior foreign office mes-
senger able to say to the German emperor
what could not conveniently be conveyed
through ordinary diplomatic channels. In
the present crisis Lord Salisbury may
have indu'ced the illustrious tourist to take
advantage of his ^sit to Homburg to point
out to his imperial relative that unneces-
sarily aggressive or violent aietion in. China
would be extremely distasteful to Great
Britain. The Germani emperor has views
about the alleged “yellow danger” which
have never been shared by the English
premier.
The continued absence of direct tele-
graphic news from Pekin during the last
few days, together with reports of further
fighting near Tien Tsin, is causing some
anxiety. It is not, however, thought that
the allied contingents can have any real
difficulty in clearing their line of com-
munications, even if the Chinese should
have gathered in force in their rear. What
is reality more disturbing is- the state
of affairs in the central and southern prov-
inces. Hong Kong telegrams received
here yesterday were disquieting. There
is no doubt that serious rioting has oc-
curred in Foo1 Kien and Kiang Se prov-
inces, where the missions have been at-
tacked and plundered. The disorder at
Swatow has also, been grave and a French
gunboat landed a. body of blue jackets and
marines to protect missions, while the
Japanese have been patrolling at Amoy.
It would almost seem as if an allied force
would be required in every one of the
treaty ports.

London, Aug. 25.—(Forgetting the Chinese
cryptogram, and the unending war in south
Africa and the reconstruction of ' that
country, a strike on a little 100-mile Welsh
railroad stirs up more serious interest
than anything else in England this week
because it is closely related to the coal
supplj- and the manufacturing vitality of
the kingdom. The Taff Vale railroad car-
ries the product of 50,000 coal miners into
Cardiff. 'The fifth day of the strike sees
small quantities of the best steam coal
commanding 35 shillings. All the Cardiff
factories are shut down and the merchant
fleet are unable to leave the harbor be-
cause they have not been, supplied with
coal. M'ost of the mines are still piling up
coal at the pit mouths. All will probably
be idle in another week. The cause of the
dispute is that 2000 railway servants want
a half penny an hour more and are upheld
in that demand by the union of railway
men of the United Kingdom with £250,000
in the treasury and a strike income of
£3000 a week. Interwoven with the dis-
cussion anent the coal scarcity, trouble ’s
brewing elsewhere in the railway world.
The Great Eastern men have handed in an
ultimatum demanding increased wages
and threatening to strike if this is refused.
The probabilities are that American coal
will be imported. The arrival in the
Thames on Thursday evening of the Brit-
ish steamer Queens'wood with 4000 tons of
coal and the sailing of the British steamer
Armstor from Norfolk, Va., on Wednes-
day with 4000 tons destined for Bantry bay
for the British navy, afford a text on
which hang abundant speculation. English
writers seem to take a melancholy satis-
faction in pointing ont America’s exhaust-
less coal supplies and the ultimate cer-
tainty that large exports will be made
from that country.
“Passengers are requested to beware of
gambling.” This penciled notice was
posted in the Campania’s smoking room
when she arrived a week ago. Several
Americans who had lost rather heavily at
the poker game compared notes and de-
cided to- repudiate their debts, being con-
vinced that they had been playing against
card sharks. The principal was a South
American ranchman whose paper debts
amounted to over $1000. ‘The winners were
two New Yorkers, who were apparently
unacquainted with each other when tne
Campania left New York. The South
American alleged that he had been cheat-
ed. He paid £10 and notified the winners
that he wo-uld pay the balance of his losses
when they produced satisfactory refer-
ences. He also telegraphed from Queens-
town for a detective, to meet the steamer
at Liverpool. One did so. but beyond tell-
ing the victim that the winners were well
known card sharpers he could do nothing.
The taking by American bankers of the
exchequer bonds seems to impress the
shah of Persia immensely. The St. James
Gazette has some curious
from Paris on the subject.
It sa.ys: “The shah is Convinced that
financial reasons render the alliance be-
tween France and Russia, less important
every day, because France is tired of giv-
ing Russia money. The only nation that
can give money to Russia is the United
States.* The shah has a brilliant idea that
by cultivating friendship with America
he may secure himself against Russia,
whose relations with America are likely to
become very close before long.”
Mary Anderson (Mrs. Antonio Navarro)
admits that she is not as young as when
playgoers knew her, but she has con-
fessed to having received a shock at a
bazaar held in Broadway, at Worcester-
shire, the other day, when the rector of a
religious community told her she was a
mother to them. She made a little speech,
in which she remarked: “I am somewhat
overwhelmed by the clerical compliment,
but he might have said ‘sister.’ ”
Mr. Charles Stewart Smith, a member of
the N’ew York rapid transit commission,
who has gone to Scotland to visit Mr. and
Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, has devoted con-
siderable time tn studying both the Paris
and London electric railroads. “I have
been afforded every opportunity to study
the workings of both systems,” said Mr.
Smith to a representative of the Associated
Press, “especially in London, where I have
ridden during almost every hour of the
day, and I am prepared to make a com-
plete report to the commission on my re-
turn to New York. The London electric

Some of the People of Nebraska Call It the
Mortgage Lifter.
Chicago Record. i
Alfalfa is the great crop' of the middle
section of Nebraska,. There is less labor
and more profit in it than in any other. It
is what they call a “dea'd cinch” every
year. Neither drouth nor grasshopper^
nor any other of the evils that have1 af-
flicted the farms of Nebraska ever inter-
fere with the alfalfa field. It is an au-
dacious and a stubborn plant and will
grow in spite of all obstacles—on the clay
hills and other places where the land is
not good for anything else—and the wise
farmer makes profit out of that perversity.
They call alfalfa a “mortgage lifter” out
here, and it has assisted in the payment
of a large- portion olf the farm debts of the
state.
Alfalfa is the Spanish clover. In every
town of Spain and South America long
strings of donkeys come in every morning
with everything but their heads and their
pipestem legs concealed by their burdens
of alfalfa. The peons sell it on the curb-
stone to feed the cows, the pigs and the
goats of the poor and the saddle horse uf
the proud hidalgos. Out in Nebraska, they
convert it irito beef, mutton and pork, and
it is by far the most certain as well as the
most profitable plant that grows in that
region.
Alfalfa is comparatively a, new thing in
North-America, although it is as old as
history in Europe. 'The legions of Caesar
and Alexander the Great fed their horses
upon it. It was introduced into South
America by the Spaniards, and flourished
there for three centuries before it was
brought to California,, where its usefulness
was soon demonstrated, and it gradually
worked Its way eastward over the moun-
tains in'to the dry portions of the prairie
states, where it has now bec'ome the most
important staple.
Alfalfa will not grow without wiater any
more than corn or. wheat, but it can get
along with less and its roots will penetrate
the ground to a. depth of 30 feet or more in
search of moisture. It Is said that alfalfa
roots have been found«w®S far as 60 feet
from the surface, i^qhiijtg the very ar-
tesian basin. It thr&W'best in porous
toils, which offer the.^a’s(. reistance to its
roots. On good land it Trficluces four crops
during the season, fr^m one to one-and-a,-
h.alf tons to an acre, a fifth crop that
iis used for hog past tirade. 4a,'te in the fall.
Cured alfalfa sells a( from $3 to $7 a ton,
according to supply and loeation. Not less
than $20 in cash an &re 'ought to be de-
rived from alfalfa, jn ordinary circum-
stances.
One crop of seed, about four bushels to
the acre, is usually savefe, and sells, for
about $4 a bushel. There Is a. ready mar-
ket and an increasing (^r^and. The hay
. from which the seed Jialslbeen thrashed is
fed to horses, but is not good for fattening
cattle.
A by product of the alfalfa, fields is hon-
ey. Nearly all 'olf the Nebraska,, farmers’
wives keep hives Of bees, which feed upon
its purple blossoms.
