Coal Price Exorbitant.
England has had a coal question for
a generation, but 80 shillings for mid
summer house fuel and the likelihood
of prices going several ShillingS higher
is making it a political question. 1t is
widely contended that the time has ar
rived to limit the foreign shipments,
amounting to 40,O00,0 600 tons, by an eX-
port duty, even though continental
buyers go to the United States, but
from the general drift of discussions
an export duty on coal seems unlikely.

turned to London for few hours yes
terday. Before proceeding to COwes,
Sir Thomas, talking with the AssOci-
ated Press correspondent, said:
There are many points of difference
between American and English yacht
ing, and only when one has spent sew
eraI weeks at Sandy Hook can he
really appreciate them. Englands in
sular position has done much to make
the sea home to many of our people,
and much more attention is paid 10
yachting than in the United States, but
individually Americans are the best
yachtsmen [ know. They are thorough
in that as in all else, and ii is due TO
appreciation of this that my sole am
bitiOn in life now is to take the Amer
iCa'S cup.
lone thing seems strange, in view of
American cleVerness. That they are
sending here for captains for seventy
footers does not seem right, and 1 am
unable to explain why, holding the
blue ribbon of the sea so long, they
are sending to England for Wringe and
other captains. What has become OF
all the New England blood that made
Hank Haffs by the score? l should
think New York yachtsmen would pro
mote American sailors to the best pO-
sitions by way of encouragement !
say this for my regard for American
yachtsmen.'
