Our Coal Abroad.

Consul General Frank n. Mason, at
Berlin, Germany writes that there can
be no question OF the superiority OF
American coal, which Is gaining a foot
hold In Germany. as well as other Hu-
ropean countries. Consul General Ma
son recounts the Incidents that gradu-
ally awakened Germany to the unques-
toned superiority OF American coal. A
test OF Ohio coal on the Bavanan State
railway proved 1t superior to tho best
of native coal. the great transatlantic
German steamship lines were found to
be using the American article exclu-
sively, and the big Deutschland, before
setting out to break the speed record,
filled up her coal bunkera at New York.
There was no argument against these
facts" says Mr.. Mason, land when a
short time ago It was announced that
West Virginia gas coal had been test
ed at Hamburg. and found superior to
the Cardiff standard, the conclusion boz
came unavoidable that only scarcity OF
tonnage and exorbitant frelghts stand
between the coal famine prices In Ger
many and the exhaustless deposits of
the United States" :
In the last Issue OF the Coal Trade
Journal, there appeared a letter from
Colonel W. P. Rend. large operator,
to the editor, about West Virginia coal,
In which he says: az lately had some
tests made of some of the best Welsh
Goals at the University Of West Yir-
ginia, with a view OF determining tho
caloritic efficiency of those Goals COM
pared with West Virginia Goals. So
far, the result has been favorable to
the West Virginia coal. I intend hav-
Ing further and moro extensive tests
made, and shall send you the ascer-
tained results. Almost every issue Of
your paper contains valuable, informa-
ton pertaining to the expectation Of
American coal to the European mar
kets. This subject has become one of
intense interest to the American pub
lie. 1t seems to me that It Is only nee
essary to build and own American ships
for the expectation OF our coal, to en-
able US to command the markets of the
Mediterranean Sea and of South Amer

Prospects for o Flood.

While there Is no occasion for any.
serious alarm at present. there is no
doubt but what the situation above is
anything but encouraging. From
Pittsburgh to the headwaters of the
Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, it
has been raining heavily and both
streams as consequence are rising
rapidly. Below Pittsburgh to CIncIn-
natl the tributaries OF the Ohio are
pouring out their waters with flood
stage below Parkershurg, so with high
water below US and plenty comirg from
above, Wheeling will be lucky indeed, to
escape without some Ill effects from tho
rising tide. &.
