fact that the men were led and prompted in
their lawlessness by two white officers OF the
regiment. who were among the first to enter
the jail after the locks had been broken by the
men. and who ordered the men to shoot and
kill the jailer il he refused to deliver up their
comrade. The excitement caused by the affair
is still intense, and II the demand OF Gov Blox-
ham that the culprits be returned to the State
authorities for trial and punishment is COM
piled with. there is scarcely doubt that the
full penalty OF the law will be imposed upon the
offenders.

COAL ON OUR WARsH1Ps.
Reasons for Not Using Anthracite Coal M
Given by tho Navy Department.

no1s0hA tor MOI Using Anthracite Coal Qs
Given by tho Navy Department.
sHAMoKIN. Pa. Aug. 9-W. X. Lord of the
Pennsylvania Anthracite Association was in
receipt OF a letter to-day from the Navy Depart
ment In answer to his communication relative
to the use OF anthracite coal in the navy. It
says that the bureau is opposed to the design of
boilers for the use OF anthracite for many prae
tical and strategic reasons which may be briefly
stated as follows:
First. the low rate Of combustion OF anthra-
cite coal with natural drGught. thus involving
greater weight and space for boilers to give the
same power; second. practical impossibiity to
procure anthracite coal except on our Atlantic
coast so that bituminous coal would have to be
used elsewhere; third. greater length Of time
required to change the condition of the ares
from slow to rapid production of steam with
anthracite than with bituminous coal, a great
strategic disadvantage.
