message, is located near BrandfOrt,

of Bloemfontein, the places being 100
miles apart.

know that large extra fare is charged for the s

a great deal Under any circumstances, as the

is absolutely essential to the full enjoyment Of

The Post has undertaken to run Personally
Conducted Excursion to Mexico on April q,
allowing it's patrons the benefit of all that is
to be gained by such an excursion without
extra charge, exacting only that space be re-
served promptly. The reason for this exac-
ton is that the cost has been figured to the
minimum and to obtain extra cars at the last
moment means an extra expense for bringing
them to Houston. Nothing has been added 5
to the rate to cover this cost and therefore an
extra charge would have to be made to secure
them. 1t is not the wish Of The Post to re-
fuse any of it's patrons who desire to accom-
pany the Excursion, nor to charge higher
rate, therefore the request to reserve space in
advance. No grander trip nor more favor
able arrangements could be offered and those
who are in position to do so should certainly

EWopes Coal Famine.

Accounts continue to come of a
coal famine in Europe. There are
coal mines on the continent, but
their output is not sufficient to sup.
ply the growing demand. There
fore our European friends will have
to look to America to make up the
deficiency. Coal expectations from
the United States have already
assumed large proportions, and it
is destined TO grow steadily in
years Virginia and West Virgil
MIA will reap their full share of the
new trade. Providence has blessed
them with enormous deposits of
the best steam coal, and the rail
roads now in operation and others
in contemplation will render il
possible 10 transport the products
of the mines to deep water in any
desired quantity. Ii is one OF the
certainties of the near future that
the exports of coal from our Virgi-
MIA ports will become one of the
largest items, if not the largest
item,in the business Of these ports.

Says Judge Holt of Kansas City :
While the people of Kansas do not
think that William Mckinley made
their good crops, they do believe that
his Administration has had much to
do with the prices they have received
for their crops
Any farmer who believes that MIR.
Mckinley or any other or all of his
Administration had anything to do
with prices that are fixed in an open
world market, centering in Liverpool,
would also believe that the all-pow-
erful agent had controlled rainfall
aud sunshine through his Weather
Bureau and controlled fertility with
his Department of Agriculture.

Very respectfully.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Your letter Of the 23rd is received.
The regular army, the volunteer army
and the Rough Riders have done
well, but | suggest that unless YOU
want to spoil the effect and glory Of
your victory, you make no invidious
comparisons. The Rough Riders
are no better than other volunteers
They had an advantage in their arms,
for which they ought to be very
grateful.
