COAL EMS ALL OVER TIE xoAlu.

In the late war with Spain the standing
order of the Secretary was that all the
ships should be kept fun of the best coal
obtsinable. The controversies that cape
after the war referred largely to the ques-
tion OF coal supply. Since then the de-
partment has been laying I'm supplies in
every part of the world where the fuel
may be needed by our ships OF war. We
are acquiring coaling stations I'm islands
wherever II can be done. In our new col
onies thousands of tons are being stored.
says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post.
Take. for instance. the Dry Tortugas
and Key West. the points which command
the entrances To the Gulf of Mexico.
There viii be piers and coal sheds
with a capacity OF 10000 tons. and the
channel will be dredged SO that the
largest ships will have no difficulty. BY
extending the chain of stations this coun-
try will be I'm control OF the. entire Gulf.
On the Pacific coast buildings Will be
erected with a capacity of 100000 tons of
coal. More buildings and piers will be con-
structed at Honolulu. and Guam and in
the Philippines, and thus gradually there
will be built up n complete system of coal
depots In various parts OF the world.

sus the writer does not know; the state
has no record OF any census between

The population was in 1870. 1915; in
174S, si52: in 1855. 1856; in 1867, 2s5s. The
reason for this continued decline exists
in the incorporation of new towns. Be-
tween 1880 and 174s. four towns were
carved out of Providence. to wit, IN
173i. Smithfield. Scituate. Glocester; In
1747. Cumberland. with an aggregate
population of $500. Before the next
census. 1855. Cranston was taken out
with 1850 people. Then before this
1857 census, Johnston and North Prov
idence were taken with about 1900 peo-

bursed in this matter?
A. I don't know; there was advertis-
Ing to be paid for in all the papers OF
the state; reading matter at the rate of
$1o0 line was put into the Boston pa
pers; about 100000 was expended.
At this place Witness Lawson said.
The receivership was a scheme TO
force the company to sell out for $3.50. :
600; the suit was brought by Foster and
Raymond; the company managed to
raise s150,0oo which was divided among
