The Attorney Generals Ruling on
Coupon Ticket Schemes.

Coupon Ticket Schemes.
The Attorney General has held in an
opinion TO the Postmaster General that
the schemes described below are lotteries
or similar scheme for the distribution OF
prizes. and mail matter in relation thereto
is unavailable:
First-Any person obtaining a card or
coupon connected with the scheme is to
return the same to the promoter thereof
with ten cents. for which he will receive
ten similar coupons. With these he is TO
start chain by sending each of these
cards or coupons to some other ten per-
sons with the request that it be returned
TO the promoter with the amount called for
40 centsl for the purchase of SIMILAR
set OF ten cards or coupons. Each Of these
persons receiving a set of cards or cou-
pons is directed to dispose of them as
above indicated to ten Stber parsons. max
ing like requests for their return. When
the entire number C10 cards or coupons
thus sent cut have been returned to the
promoter of the scheme. the cham is re-
garded as complete so far as he one
who started II Is concerned. and he is
thus entitled 10 the prize offered.
Second-A card or coupon is purchased
for a certain amount which coupon is
returned to the promoter of the scheme
with a stated amount of money for which
the sender will receive ten similar cou-
pons or cards. These he is to sell or give
away to ten persons. who, in turn. are
expected to return them with the stated
remittanees. When these ten cards have
been returned 10 the promoter in this
manner, the person who originated this
chain of coupons or cards is entitled to
the prize offer. All schemes of the char
acter described above regardless Of the
number of cards that may form set or
that may be necessary to complete
series are included in the prohibition.
The opinion overrules the practice OF
the Pcstoiice Department on tho second
class. The Department has heretofore
held those schemes were not contrary to
the anti-iottery law

TOO MUCH FOR THE CLERK.
Judge Bradley Settles Question
Concerning Naturalization Papers.


Judge Bradley, associate justice Of the
Supreme Court of the District, decided
yesterday that a native and inhabitant OF
Porto Rico in making a declaration OF his
intention to become an American citizen,
should fret rerounce allegiance TO the
Kingdom of Spain.
A native of Porto Rico. who is a student
al law in one Of the universities in Wash
ngton. applied to Mr.. Young Clerk of the
District Supreme Court, yesterday after
noon for naturalization papers, saying that
IS he was not a citizen Of the United
States he desired TO become such
Are you willing to renounce all allegi-
anee to your present sovereign" asked
Mr.. Young, adding:
VINO Is your sovereign"
Il am a native Of the island of Porto
Rico, which is my home"
Well, said Clerk Young, as ne chewed
the feather end of his quill. the form OF
the certificate declaratory Of your inten-
tions prescribes that you shall renounce
allegiance TO your sovereign. What Gov
eminent are you subject off"
Il am a native of Porto Rico, tempo
rarily residing in Washington"
THE King of Spain does not appear 10
have much to do with you" aid Mr..
Young. taking another chew off the quill;
you cant very well renOunce allegiance
TO the United States If you desire TO be-
come a citizen Of the United States. You
are not citizen OF the United States.
and you wish to become a citizen?' Here
another chew came OFF the quill.
The question was too intricate for Mr..
Young and the case was laid before
Judge Bradley. After due consideration,
the certificate was thus filled In.

that II IS in good faith my intention TO
become citizen OF the United States
and to renounce forever all allegiance
and fidelity to any foreign prince. poten-

No Demand for Anthracite.
The United States coal which is to re-
place the product of England and
Wales in the markets of the world is
the soft coal of Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, and Alabama. Anthracite
coal has practically no opportunity for
foreign exploitation at the present time
or in the near future. 1t Is fuel so
much different from the coal that for.
eign consumers have been accustomed
to using that they are not at all in
clined to take it up, necessitatlng, as it
does, the use of new CRATES or new
stoves and entirely different methods
of firing. Only the several varieties of
soft coal now finding market abroad
need be considered.
In Pennsylvania there is produced
for the seaboard trade what Is known
as Clearfield coal, originating mostly on
the line of the Pennsylvania railroad,
but also reaching market over the Phil
adelphia and Reading railway. This
general name includes the coal from
several minor regions and is compre-
hensive trade term.
Further to the westward Is the Pitts
burg district, closely centering about
the metropolis of the western portion Of
the State. Some coal from the eastern
portion Of this district reaches tide
water by rail over the Pennsylvania,
but the hopes of those who expect an
export business in Pittsburg coal are
based upon the fact that during certain
portions of the year cheap transporta-
ton to the port of New Orleans may be
by way of the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers.

local sgo,t to the mine, $3.50 a Ton At

local STont to the mine, $3.50 ton at
the several ports on that sea.
Welsh coal is worth 81 a ton at Car
diff, and the freight to Gibraltar is
$2.16, making it $9.16 ton. These
freights vary until this Welsh coal
brings 500 ton at Marseilles and
$9.5S at Naples. Over this coal the
$1.56 a ton at Gibraltar, $500 at Mar
seilles, and $26S at Naples, even after
the mine profit has been received on the
American side.
These figures are reached, too. with
the inadequate present means of trans
porting coal across the Atlantic. Most
of the vessels now carrying coal were
designed for package freight and are
about as well adapted for the coal busi-
ness as is a box car compared with one
of the modern 100000 pound steel coal
cars. Golfers especially made for the
coal trade will be indispensable to
transatlantic business. 1t has been
calculated that the cost of operating q
7,000-ton steamer to such an accessible
port as Gibraltar, making the length
of the voyage and time Of unloading
fifteen days, will be as follows:
Insurance, $S75; interest on cost, $3.50;
depreciation, $625; crew, $3.50; pro-
visions, $16S; port charges, $1S4; pilot
age, $3.50; fuel, $2,025, allowing full sell
ing price for company's coal used for
steam. This, with 500 for incidentals
gives total of $5,637, making So4
cents ton the actual transportation
cost on the coal. Vessel owners like to
secure and count upon return cargo,
and coal men owning such a vessel
would get more or less freight destined
for the United States. But suppose
that practically nothing could be Sc.

Mine operators from the United
states and their agents are all over
the european continent in the interest
or American coal and almost every day
vessels loaded with the product of
American mines are clearing for Euro
pean ports, where they are to lay down
Dltuminous coal at English prices.
Great Britain. with an estimated coal
supply for only 200 years, has been ex-
porting 55,0O00O0 tons annually. The
British public has been looking upon
this with disfavor. An export tax upon
the product Is anticipated, and in the
event Of 1t the Mediterranean ports
must draw upon the United States for
their fuel. Already the United States
has been supplying the best coal for
use in naval vessels.
In Europe coal deposits cover 27,OOO
square miles in Russia, 5000 in Great
BritainS $500 in Germany, 1900 in
France, and in all the rest of Europe
are only 1,400 square miles. In Great
Britain, France, and Germany especial
ly these fields have been drawn upon
for hundrds of years. Every square
mile of resource has been sounded.

with 1000 the estimated maNimum pos
sible. Russia, of all these countries,
may develop unexpected deposits.
British India shows oXfy $4,000 square
miles of coal beds4 and the total of
all these is only 1850 for Europe and
India. AS against this are the United
States deposits of $4,000 square miles,
with thousands If possible miles unex-
plored and undeveloped. To this Alas
ka is promising ineXhaustible deposits
of anthraeie, which at least must re-
place the English coal that is now sup
plying the Pacific slope of the United
States.
Aside from the United States in this
coming world supply of fuel, only China
and Japan can be looked to. These
countries have deposits about as large
as those of the United States, but are
lacking in means Of development. Their
positions upon the map, too, are not fa-
yorable to the European trade.

AS to how the mines of the world

1898 are accurate enough for compari-
