aary to expend millions upon a futile attempt to render lsßprcaraable ports which are net natural ly defensible; and when the low lying, shift tug w»r»d dunes of Greytoxpn. which ar«* ccm snanded by the hills a few miles Inland, were forttlssl at great cost a campaign with any for eign Power would be centred there and fought under highly dlsadvantaireous. if not impos «tble. conditions. Great Britain besan her earn paign with the Boers over six thousand miles from home in an Inaccessible corner of Upper Natal. The fortification of the ends <t 'he Nicaragua Canal would compel the United States to conduct a campaign in Nicaragua, for the canal Itself would be a great priie of war. and would at once be exposed to attack, r? peeiaUy if any attempt were male to .-lose it against a.! war x-essels not under the American Sag. The most pacific nation In the world does not want war with any Power; much less does It reed to construct a great work c # commerce In such a way as to menace .he peace of the world and to involve the American r^cple in defensive campaigns at Inaccessible points far removed from a natural base for operations and supplies. If the Hay-Pauncefote treaty does net pro viSe for the construction cf fortifications at the canal entrances it is In accord with the natural rendition* of the coast. Engineering science cjssjM not protect Greytown against th» long range ¦ssjbj cf a powerful fleet of battleships: and if the high ground behind it were occupied r-v a hostile force it would become untenable. The real defence of the Nicaragua Canal must always be a strong fleet with coaling stations accessible on each ocean: and there are only two Powers capable of making a successful earai defence. These are the United States and Great Britain, each of which has coaling atatlor.f accessible In the vicinity of the canal. Germany would not be able to coal a fleet in that quarter of Central America if neutral ports were closed againrt her by the ordinary rules of war. France has two Islands in the Leeward group, but is without a good port or defensible ccalJrg station. Ruifit Austria and Italy have r.o facilities for coaling and provisioning war less* la for cruising in the Caribbean Pea. Den rr.ark anfl the Netherlands have islands in the TTest Indies >rith good ports, but it is idle to speculate upon the chances ef war with two esjeh pacific Powers. Coaling facilities are ln dasjtenaav le fcr naval warfare, and the United States weald have a marked advantage in this vsapact ever any European Power in time cf war. Th« British fleet certainly could not be krrt out of the Nicaragua Canal by any fortifi cations which mirht be built at so indefensible a port as Greytown; and the Investment ef r.i'.'.hjns to fortresses and jTani would not be Justified by the remote chances of a campaign with France, Germany or any ether Power on the European Continent. Recent events have demonstrated that when America v.6 England are helpful to each ether they a.iac promote their own Interests and pol icies. This Is the elementary fact which ex plain* the natural development of friendly re lations between the two countries. Neighborly ttcHsjsT and eelf-interest go hand In hand. When England tfcwarted a European scheme of Inter vention at the outbreak of the war with Spain, Fhe served America a good turn, but at the seme time Increased her prestlre In Europe. ¦ten she had been paralyzed and humiliated by Continental Intrigues against her. When England ordered Admiral Dewey*e fleet out of Honir-Konr "be rendered necessary a descent upon Manila and the conquest of the Philip pines; and while she opened the way for victory I I the United States the was also establishing a precedent for her own Interest that neutral ports must be closed in time of war against btl ligermt fleets. The enforcement of neutral obli gations in the British West ladles during- the war with Spain as* the application of the Sues rwaralarfoßs acainst Admiral Oamara's fleet at Port Eaid were points heavily in favor of Amer ica; but English action was entirely in line with English policy. America, by the occupation of the Philippines, by the guarantees for the open floor principle obtained from the maritime Pow ers, and by other recent acts, has adopted cc-CTses agreeable to England, and at the same time has been promoting her own interests and the welfare of civilisation. The relinquishment cf the dual control over the Nicaragua Canal is a good turn that deserves another; and the in troduction of the Suez principles in Central America is a reasonable concession In return for a diplomatic favor; but it is for the interest of England to have the new waterway open, and it it equally to the advantage of America to have the Suez regulations enforced for the new canal. Bo true is It that when two nations are just, generous and helpful to each other, they find that they have a common share in the bene fits cf association and friendship, and of mutual service. I. N.

THE POSITION OF THE POPE ARCHBISHOP IRELAND MAINTAINS THAT PONTIFF MUST NOT BE SUBJECT TO KING OF ITALY. Washington. Dec. 9.— Archbishop Ireland, in a sermaty#jreaehed at St. Patrick's Church to-day, reviewed the question of the independence of the Pope- and prophesied that at r.o remote day the "Italian people and Christendom at large would give back to the Papacy its wonted dignity and liberty." The discussion of what Is known as the "Roman question" was especially significant, as the Archbishop in his recent visit to Rome talked at length with the Pope-. The Archbishop referred to the Pope as a prisoner ir. the Vatican, voluntary in that no physical force prevents his leaving its precincts and Involuntary in that he could not so beyond the Vatican without Impairing his dignity us Pontiff and without seeming to accept the situa tion created for him by the entrat.ee into Rome of the troops of the Italian Government. The Archbishop eald: The Catholic Church Is a divinely created organ ism. reeei\:nr directly from Christ Its mission and ail the right* v.hlch are needed that it may live and work: its life and mission are expressed in Its supreme chief, th* successor of Peter, and to him belong in a pre-eminent manner all the rights in herent in the Church and whose possession is needed for fulfilment of its mission and work willed by Christ. Hence the Pontiff's right to independ ence an 3as a consequence to temporal sovereignty. If the Pope Is a civil subject of an authority out ?!3e of himself, he has not the necessary freedom: the ruler or Kovernment would interfere, make laws Impairing his freedom of action or strive to impose methods more serviceable to the State than th» Church. The Pontiff's words must bear no possible suspicion that they were Imposed by men who have no Ruthoritv !n things moral and spiritual. If the Sovereim Pontiff he the subject of the King of Italy, what guarantee is there for other peoples ani other rulers that, whether through fear or favor. Italian influences have not penetrated Into the Vatl^n. and that Italian Interests are not to he perved.

Dec. •— The officials ef the Bants Fe road take a decidedly hopeful view of the te eg raphert' strike situation. They aM say the back bone of the strike is practically broken already and that the affaire of the road will be in their normal condition inside of two weeks. The officers felt justified to-night, in view of the alleged improve ment In conditions, in rescinding the order closing the shops. C. T. McClellan, superintendent of the Eastern division, returned this afternoon from a trip of in spection over the entire division in his private car. He started out yesterday afternoon, as soon as the news of the strike became known. He reported that matters were tatlsfaetory. so far as the East ern division is concerned. Mr. McClellan visited all the operators along the route and asked them point blank if they intended to strike. In case a man would answer 'n tbe affirmative he would be Quickly Informed that his services were no lcr.ger needed and a check was given to him. This bad effect in some places, and the operators agreed to remain at work. To-day, however, many who made such an agreement struck as coon as they ascertained the facts in the rate. •Probably twenty operators are out on my divi sion to-night," sail Mr. McClellan. "but I have men in sight for all these places. Men are coming to-night from Chicago. Kansas City and St. Louis, and soon all the stations on the division will be si:pp'.!^d with operators." W. M. Coomb?, chief dispatcher for the Eastern £!\-lslon. reported that all trains were running rat lsfactorlly. Some were late, but that was a natural conseq ¦ General Superintendent Resiesule and Superin tendent Shoies of the telegraph service unite In expressing the same views as the other officials, and all profess to believe that the strike will soon be settled. The officials have kept In close consultation all day and have not let the smallest detail of the developments escape their attention. They have had some detectives ln Topeka all day watching the movements of the strikers and reporting to headQusrters. FTBIKE MAY BE MADE GENERAL.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. MONDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1900. TO FORTIFY OB NOT TO FORTIFY-THArS THE QUESTION. SELECTIONS FROM THE HAIL. THE CONSECRATION AT FOND DU LAC. BISHOP GRAFTON EXPLAINS THE POSITION Of HIS CHURCH. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Allow me to thank you for calling ray atten tion by your article and out you published of the bishops who officiated at the consecration st Fond dv Lac. It is superficial to say that the endeavor of the Catholic party in the Episcopal Church is to go back four hundred and fifty years or to seek to revive mediaevallsm. What we have done in out line is to go back to Christ. Do you ask how we can best know what His teaching was? We rejily that we believe Him to be a divine teacher sent from God with the religion for the whole human race; that we cannot believe such a Divine Teach er would have taught so Indefinitely or In inch a bungling manner that nine-tenths of His followers would have fallen into error. We believe that the doctrine of this vast majority, made up as it is ef every nation, language and temperament, came from Him. Upon Investigation we find this faith to be In accord with the vast majority of Christians of every age. Your statement concerning the medieval Chris tian* resiling against these doctrines and prac tices is Inaccurate, but a ?mall minority rebelled m the sixteenth century. »h'!«> „ vast majoritr re mained with the old Church. This vast majority of Christians urianirnD- sly testify to-day that this faith and worship which we follow came from Christ. TT» result of Christ's teaching shows what He intended to teach: we therefor* listen to this consensus of the Church in every age. We rest or this oroßd Catholic principle that those things which have been taught at all '.lines and at all places and by all are Christ's teaching. As to worship, we follow the same consensus; thus we so back to Christ. Christ took St. .Tohn up into heaven and showed him the worship there, and that revelation has always been the <Mrectory of Christian worship. Lights vestments and in cense have always been used by nine-tenths of Christendom; they do not imply Romani»m. but Catholicity. We stand on a conservative, yet lib era:, basis. The broad or rationalistic school Is with the times, end echoes the sentiments of a dying world. The Catholic school is up to the times, pointing man to Christ and the unchangeable faith of Christians, and leading them to a higher and holier life. C. C. GRAFTON. Bishor) of Fond dv Lac. Fond dv Lac, Wis., Nov. 30, 1300. A DEFENCE OF GENERAL EAGAX. To the Editor of The Triburf. Sir: In The Tribune of yesterday appeared a letter under the caption of "General Eagans Sen tence," and signed "N." which referred to the sufferings of our boys on account of aia (General Eagan's) mistakes. General Eagan made no mistake* during the Spanish-American War which caused our boys to suffer. On the contrary, he was ever the friend of the enlisted man; he conducted the work of his office urder trying circumstances with great abil ity, and many of the older officers competent to judge regard him as one of the beat Commissary G»n»rals rhe Army has ever had. I am sure "N." will be generous enough to with draw his statement, above referred to, which does General Eagan a great Injustice. B. New- York. Dec. 3. 1800. CONTRIBUTING TO ST. ROSE'S HOME. To the Editor of The Tnbnne. Sir: In answer to l "tiers sent privately, at a time when thts charity was reduced to great need, the Cancer Home was succored by the donations acknowledged herewith, which I trust you will print for me. Through failure to receive a turn that will come later and that had been relied upon, and be cause cr the necessity of refunding- 1100 to a young woman who was obliged to give ap tur work en ac count of her health, we were In extreme poverty. It will be seen, however, that we have been splen didly rescued. We now number seven workers and are to have four new members soon. Women are constantly applying to join us. but we require some very solid qualitits not always to be found. The question or securing more room is becoming the chief concern of our daily prayers. Fifteen patients and twelve cannot well squeeze into this hou*e, and, moreover, we rou'd do more work than this house warrants. Will not the public give us an adjacent house? Yours truly. Sistf-r M.

Coka is coal MAKING with the volatile matter nursed 02. OP COKE. . what Is left betas almost wholly fixed carbon. To reduc« coal to coke, the coal is put Into especially constructed oven* and allowed to burn for about thirty-*'.* hours. Only sufficient air la admitted to the. oven to keep the fire going, and this air is only allowed to pass over the surface sf the coaL At tee «•* of thirty-six hours the volatile matter In the coal will have been consumed and the residuum Is called coke. It is gray In color and Is punctured with air holes. Coke Is frequently manufactured as a bye product. and a great saving la thus effected. This Is especially so In the manufacture of gas. where the heat obtained from the volatile matter is suffi cient for the purposes needed. The furnaces in use In the Boston Gas Company are constructed no that only the volatile matter will be consumed-. The Boston and Maine Railroad uses on its loco motives the coke which the gas company thus obtains as a by-product. Coke was originally dis covered and brought Into us* in the manufacture of Ircn. To manufacture iron what Is known as a weldtns; beat must be obtained. When you go into a blacksmith's shop you will notice that the blacksmith in heating the iron upon which he is at work nlunses It into the deep.. red bed or coals through which the %rttflcial blast, produced by the bellows, rushes. He jrets his w-ldlrte heat In this lower, deeper colored flame. He could not obtain It In the name above. When a welding heat was needed origrtnally in the manufacture of iron cnar coal was used. "But charcoal, while effective, was very expen sive, and made iron costly and more or less lim ited in Its use. Consequently, when ITS DI3COV- anthracite, with its » per cent of ERY AND carbon and but 5 per cent of vol- ITS USES. atlle matter, was discovered iron manufacturers eagerly substituted it for charcoal, thereby reducing the cost of pro ducing iron and proportionately Increasing Its use. But anthracite, while cheaper than charcoal, bad a mighty drawback. It was not porous, and it was difficult to force a blast through it. In the manu facture of Iron wind Is a vital necessity, tons and tons of wind, in th*. form of a blast, are consumed for ea.h and every ton of iron manufactured. The dtnsky of antnraclte made it difficult to force the b'.ast through, and interposed a serious and detri mental obstacle to Its use. Taen some one discov ered coKe, which answered all requirement*. It was cheap. It gave a welding heat. And best or all. ing porous. It gave free ingress and egresa to the vitally necessary Mast. Some coal is of ao poor a character that you cannot get a wading heat from it, try as you may. or example, at the blacksmith .hops in the coal mines in Colorado they have to use coal brought from Eastern mines to get a welding heat it being utterly impossible to get it from the Colorado coal. This eouuujla blessed with an enormous supply of coal. ci3trt» uted.over a dlversited area. Some of it. however, Is osiint>rior grade. Vet the cost of transportation causes it to be mined. For Instance, in Kansas they are going down 400 feet to obtain coal that run* but eighteen inches in the vein. They have to do it however, ss it is the only coal they have. Coal Is one of the most valuable natural sources of wealth with which mother nature ha» <*• boun tifully and generously blessed us. It wtil be an Increasing source of revenue, tor the shortage ln Europ« can have no ether effect than to broaden the markets for American coal and coke, which will at the same time command better and con stantly Increasing prices." "Senator William E. Chandler, of New-Hamp shire, is bavins; a hard nght to retain his seat in the Senate." said N. P. Gllman. of POLITICAL Boston, at the Murray Hill Hotel SITUATION yesterday, "and one of the candl- IN NEW- dates against him is ex-Senator HAMPSHIRE Henry W. Blair. The pasting of Blair is one of the most curious oc currences in politics. He accomplished much for bis Stats while in Congress, and be was also more than ordinarily successful in what he did for National legislation. Half of the pension laws, under which n30.000,0C0 is now annually disbursed, originated with Blair, and of this amount New- Hampshire receives Si.SQO.JOO. It wa* Blair's cam paign in the eld Hid District in 1875 that saved the State and insured the Presidential vote to the Re publicans in I*7«, when only one vote saved the Presidency to the Republican party. Blair origi nated the Department of Labor, and his efforts to exclude foreign cheap labor from this country were so effective as to lead the Chinese Govern ment to reject him when ha was appointed MiPtstsr to that empire. Blair's record, la local X*w- Hampshire politics Is fully as creditable as it la in the wider arena of National legislation. Among: ether things he succeeded in saving the Ports mouth Navy Yard to the State In spite of tremen dous opposition. In view of such a record It la hard to understand why h" should have been so absolutely and entirely passed by. In the contest for Senator Chandler's seat bis name is being seri ously thought of. and It is possible that, should Chandler fail in his fight for re-election, >!s suo cehsor in the Senate may be Henry W. Blair." SOUSA'B BAND TO GO TO OLABGOW. John Philip Souea on Saturday signed a contract for a four weeks' engagement of hts band at the International Exhibition to be held at Glasgow.
