A journal which Believes 1hat the Past
Tests Have Not Been Complete.
A recent issue Of the Anthracite Coal
Operators Journal has the following with
reference to anthracite for naval use
THE establishment by the government of
coaliug stations for its naval vessels is good
in ITSELF but if these are to be supplied with
soft coal there win always be a depreciation
in quality to be provided against after it has
been stored for any considerable period, and
further, the liability Of tho coal to spon-
taneous combustion always keeps the chance
of at least part of the stock being destroyed
or unfit to use
"Only recently il was ascertsined that
spontaneous combustion in pile of govern
ment coal stored in Honolulu threatened the
destruction of the entire stock, nearly 100,-
600 tons and when finally extinguished a
large quantity Of coal had been rendered
practically useless by the heat and water In
view of the many serious dangers and losses
which result from the use of soft coal for
such purposes, it would seem desirable that
the Navy Department should make a series of
tests of anthracite, which is absolutely free
from all danger Of spontaneous combustion
to see whether, under proper conditions, it
would not perform as satisfactory service
under the boilers as does soft coal. 1t is
claimed that anthracite is not suitable for
such work, but since no thorough trials have
been made there is not any ground upon
which to base such assertions.
'As already stated in this letter, the only
records of using anthracite on board naval
vessels, on file in the department, are those
Of years ago, or Of sporadic attempts made
with few tons, on CRATES not adapted to the
coal, and fired by men who were accustomed
only to flaming Goals. 1t is manifestly un-
Just and unreasonable to point to these, as
has been done, and attempt to prove by them
that anthracite is not satisfactory and would
not be when the conditions as to area of CRATE
and skill of firing were as much in its favor
as they are now in that of soft coal"

were arrested for fighting in a saloon. The

and Furious,

LONDON, Oct. SO.-The war ofice
sere has received dispatch which says
General White has fought an engage
,nant presumably with General Jou-
berts force. which was pushed back
after several hours fighting. The Brit
ish lost about 100 men and the Boer
losses were much greater. The Beers
were in large numbers and had better
artillery. General Whites dispatch,
which was dated 4:3O p. m. to-day,
read:
81 employed all the troops here ex-
cept the obligatory garrison before the
works. I sent a mountain battery, the
RoyaE Irish Fusiiters and the Glouees-
ters to taRe up a position on the hills,
TO clear my left flank. The forces
moved at II yesterday evening and dur
ipg some time in the night firing stam-
peded the battery mules with some Of
the guns, which, however, hope to re-
cover. These two battallons have not
yet returned, but are expected this
evening.
"I detailed two brigade divisions OF
field artillery and ave battalions Of In
fantry, aided by cavalry under General
French, to attack position upon which
the enemy yesterday mounted guns.
We found this position evacuated, but
our force was attacked with consider
able vIgor by what believe were Cen
eral Joubert's troops. They had many
guns and showed In great numbers.
Our troops were all I'm action and
pushed the enemy back several miles,
but did not succeed in reaching his
laager. Our losses are estimated at be-
tween eighty and hundred, but those
of the enemy must have been much
greater. the FIRE of our guns appearing
very effective.
After being In action several hours,
1 withdrew the troops and they return
ed unmofested to their cantonments.
The enemy are in great numbers and
their guns range further than our field
snus.

have temporarily sIlenced, and l hope
will permanently dominate the enemy's
best guns, with which he has been
bombarding the town at a range of
over 5000 yards
