Coke Instead of Coal n. FueI

1t has been decided to stop the use of coal
as fuel on the New York. New Haven &
Hartford Railroad and to substitute coke
for ii on all locomotives. Experiments with
coke have been tried for a year. They have
proved that IL Is the cheaper fuel lasts
almost as long as bituminous coal, and has
other advantages over IL. For the Boston
d Albany years supply of coke has been
ordered. and 1t is said there is likelihood
of this fuel being adopted by all of the New
ENGLAND railroads

Tirade of InsoIcnce.


VICTORIA B. c., Dec. 1O.-Lieutenant
Governor McInniss. Of British Columbia,
whose disregard for diplomatic practice and
precedent secured him some notoriety a
year ago, made another bid for public
notice last night, by entering into a dis
pute with United States Consul Abraham
E. Smith, at the annual banquet of a Brit
ish Columbia pioneer society The lieu
tenant governor. in his acknowledgment of
the toast to his Office made reference to
his recent visit to the North and touched
upon the Alaskan boundary question, hop
ing for its early settlement upon the basis
of the British contention. Great Britain,
he said, asked no more than possession of
her own. She had only friendship for the
United States as she had continually given
evidence since 1864, when had it not been
for her friendly offices preventing the in
reference of other nations the disiutegra-
tion of the Union must have resulted.
Consul Smith, in his turn, challenged
this sweeping statement and remarked that
he had distinct recollection OF the opera
tions of a certain Alabama" which did
not show the eulogistic reference to Brit
ish friendship in 1864 to be timely or justi-
fed. while he emphatically denied that
the existence of the United States at that
or any other date had been saved by grace
of Great Britain or any other power. He
was interrupted by the excited lieutenant
governor, who said he should have thought
that a representative of the United States
would not have cared to refer TO the Ala
bama claims in such connection. Great
Britain had been ordered TO pay $4,000 0O0
on that claim and had paid it promptly and
without attempted evasion. in very sharp
contrast to the policy of the United States
which had s., ,000 600 in its Treasury today
belonging to Canadians that would be held
as long as any political expedient remained
to the statesmen of the Republic.
The Consul had remained standing dur
ing the remarks of the governor, and evil

retaliating He closed his address with a

with Lieutenant Governor McInniss Ian
guage The excuse that may sometimes
be made for impolitic utterances in after
dinner speeches cannot be claimed for Mr
McInniss as he is a strict teetotaller.
