Tk.l R.ssi. ..d America Are Be Very Frieadly-Enjllsk Electric Roads Are Not Considered Very Speedy. (Copyright, 1900, The Associated Press.) LONDON. Aug. 23. Forgetting the Chinese cryptogram and the unending war in South Africa and the recon struction of that country, a strike on a little 100-mile Welsh railroad stirs up more serious Interest than any thing else In England this week be cause it Is closely related to the coed supply and the manufacturing vitality of the kingdom. The Taff-Vale rail road carries the product of 50,000 coal miners Into Cardiff. The fifth day of the strike sees small quantities of the best steam coal commanding thirty- five 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. Most 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 de mand by the union of railway men of the United Kingdom with 250,000 In the treasury and a strike income of 5000 a week. Interwoven In the discussion anent the coal scarcity, trouble Is 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 re fused. The probabilities are that American coal will be imported. The arrival in the Thames on Thursday ev ening of the British steamer Queens wood with 4000 tons of coal and the sailing of the British steamer Armstor from Norfolk. Va.. on Wednesday with 4000 tons destined for Bantry Bay for the British navy, afford a text on which hangs abundant speculation. English writers seems to take a melancholy sat isfaction in pointing out America's ex haustless coal supplies and the ultimate certainty that large exports will be made from this country. "Passengers are requested to beware of gambling." This pencilled notice was posted In the Campania's smoking room when she arrived a week ago. Several Americans who had lost rather heavily at poker after the game com pared notes and decided to repudiate their debts, being convinced that they had been playing against card sharps. The principal loser was a South Amer ican ranchman whose paper debts amounted to over 1000. The winners were two New Yorkers who were ap parently unacquainted when the steam er left New York. The South Ameri can alleged that he had been cheated. He paid 10 and notified the winners that be would pay the balance of his losses when they produced satisfactory references. He also telegraphed from Queenstown for a detective to meet the steamer at Liverpool. One did so, but beyond telling the victim that the win ners were well known sharpers, he could do nothing. The taking by American bankers of the exchequer bonds seems to impress the Shah of Persia immensely. The St. .Times Cazette has some curious in formation .from Paris on the subject. It says: "The Shah Is convinced that financial reasons render the alliance between France and Russia less Important every day because France is tired of giving money to Russia. 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 with Russia, whose relations with America are likely to become very close before long." Mary Anderson (Mrs. Antonio Na varro) admits that she Is as young as wh'-n playgoers knew her, but she has ronf.'ssid to bavins received a shock at a bazaar held in Broadway, Worccs. tershire, the other day when the rec tor of a religious community told her she was a mother to them. She made a little speech In which she remarked; on the Lower Columbia. "I am somewhat overwhelmed fcy the clerical compliment, but he might have Ml1 'sister.' " S Mr. Charles Stewart Smith, a mem ber of the New Tork Rapid Transit Commisyiiin. who has pone 10 Scotland to visit Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, nns aevtieu consiuernuitr amr 10 sillily Ing both the Paris and London under ground railways. "I have Wn afforded every oppor tunity to study the workings of both systems," said Mr. Smith to a represen tative of the Associated Prvss, "espec ially In London vhere I have ridden t.anJ , am a J report to the commission on my return to New York. The London electric rall- road Is certainly a great Improvement ovr anything London has ever had. But after all it is not rapid transit In the sense we und?rsUnd It in the United States. The distance from the Bank of England to Shepardabush is yards short of six miles. This is covered In 23 minutes, including 13 stops. This Is done oy means of two single track 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 IS to 19 minutes. 'The engineering work In London Is admirable and the rolling stock Is an Improvement even on that of the New York elevated railroad, as the cars are better lighted and better furnished." The middle of August finds London In the npogee of the season, while the exodus of returning tourists Is limited only to the carrying capacity of the outgoing steamers. Mr. C. A. Glllig. who Is an expert at calculating American travel In Europe, said to a representative of the Associated Press: It Is nonsense to talk about 150,000 Americans crossing the Atlantic this season. Their numbers are always ex aggerated. There Is only a certain number of trans-Atlantic lines, each limited to a number of ships of well- known capacity. Going over the ques tion with a little care I estimate that there will be about 5,000 Americans In TJurope during the season. The tide of travel is western now and until-October 1 t!1 be tremendous. The Oceanic took 390 cabin pasengers Wednesday, and the Kaiser Wilhelm dtr Grosse . 300. The fact -that S6 Americans left the Carlton hotel that day shows how strong the homeward procession is. It Is not often that any American resident In England secures a place In Vanity Fair's portrait gallery, and far lest frequently does the subject of these pleasant caricatures resent them. Not so with "Little Johnnie" Reiff, however, who Is the subject of this week's cartoon. Relff. who cares more about kittens and candies than fame, says: "I could forgive them for the un natural position of my hands, but why did they want to turn my black hair into a shock of dirty yellow?" PREPARING FOR GREAT RACE. American Oarsmen Fear Most. the Dutch NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-A Paris dis patch to the Times says: The Vesper eight practiced as us ual yesterday, In a torrential downpour of rain, covering the mile In 6.15 2-5. This is only a few seconds more than their best American performance, and the difference may be caused by the current. There have been no trials be tween the various crews, but the Ves pers have been practicing quietly up stream free from observation. The course on which the races will be rowed Is on the backwater of the Seine in the suburb of Asnleres, a few miles outside of Paris. It is almost but not quite currentltss. The Vesper's heat will be rowed at about midday and good weathor is promised so far. The Dutch crew seems most to be feared, but they are at a disadvantage from not having rowed together, being drawn from three universities. Reserved seats for the race are sold at $4, but It Is possible to see the race without payment. CENSUS RETURNS. Pittsburg, Newark, Allegheny City Have Large Increase In Popu lation.

'"IT AUSTRALIAN SAVAGERY. Two Blacks Ran Amuck Killing Ten Colonists. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. News comes from Sydn-y by the steamer Mariposa of an outbreak of latent sav agery in two aboriginal blacks who had lived for years In close association with whites, and It resulted In the daughter of rtve women and children In one place and five people In another. At Brvelmig, In New South Wales, the Mowbry family offended two natives known as Governor and Underwood, who, in revng. broke Into the Mow bry house armed with tomahawks and war clubs. In the house- wvre Mrs. Mjwbry, hor two daughters. '.Trace and Hilda, her niec-?. Klsle Clark. Mt.s Kor a school teacher, and thre boy Percy, ajd 13, George, agl 12, and Albert, aged 9. Of these only the two yiungest boys escaped by hiding. All the other were either killed or mortal ly wounded. The blacks seemed to have blood madness upon them, for in their (light across the country to the Queensland mountains they killed Alex McKay and his wife at Gulong, old Mrs. O'Brien and her young child at Meruwa, and Kerin Fitspatriek, an old man of W, at Mudgee. Their horse wore cap tured by the poll.?, but the murderers escaped. GREAT CHRISTIAN TEMPLE. Chicago Methodists Pln n Huge Con solidation Scheme. CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-A temple that will rival any other In the world Is to be built In Chicago, If plans now un der consideration by the various Meth odist church officials In this city are matured and executed. The edifice will be the home of the consolidated chur ches under Institutional rule, and If reports prove correct the presiding ec clesiastic will be Pr. Camden M. Co bern, of D?nver. Dr. Cobern, who Is pastor of Trinity church In th Colorado city, was Inter viewed in Denver, but would say noth ii g beyond asserting that the matter had not reached a point where he could talk. Presiding Elder Jackson said: "I will not say that Dr. Coln-rn has teen approached In regard to the In stitutional church pastorate." The plan will te to effect the con solidation of several big Methodist churches and congregations. Includ ing Trinity, the First church and oth ers, sell the properties and employ the capital thu derived, probably $2,000,000, In the building of one of the greatest religious temples ever known In the history of the world.

Within the last six months he bought an "Old Master" for $60,000. In his collections are paintings by Meissonler. Millet. Troyon, Rosa Bon- heur, RoBseau, Sir Frederick Lelghton and Landseer.
