FRESH COAL CRISIS.
SERIOUS DIFFERENCES REGARDING NEW WAGES BASIS.
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
LONDON, February.21."
A fresh crisis in the coal trade is to be considered by delegate miners” conferences in London to-morrow and on Thursday, serious differences baving arisen as regards the proposed new wages basis. Probably the Government will be urged not to abandon control of the industry until the owners and mizers have reached a wages agreement. Meanwhile the Executive of the Miners' Federation to-day discussed the closing down of collieries as the result of the slump in the export trade and the action of the owners in serving a fortnight's notice on mine workers to terminate existing contracts. The Federation alleges that the owners are trying to erade payment of the as a day war wage.

MEDICAL EDUCATION. «
LONDON MEDICOS OFFER EVERY ASSISTANCE TO CHINA.
REMARKABLE PROGRESS.
LONDON, February 21.
In a paper on the advance of medical education in China read before the Royal Society of Medicine to a large attendance of medicos, Dr. Harold Blame declared that in some respects China was ahead of Britain in medical education, giving, as an instance the Chinese pharmacopoeia com piled rearly seven centuries ago which contained a number of drugs now universally used. Sir Donald MacAlister stated that progress in China was remarkable and was only limited by the support the Western World was willing to accord. The meeting passed a resolution sympathising with 'the Chinese Government's efforts in developing modern medicine and offering amalance to promote the advance of medical science in China.
