DEMAND FOR COAL IN FRANCE.
There Should he a Market for the
American Product.

American Product.
Robert P. Skinner, United States consul
at Marseilles, France, writes to the State
Department:
THE report which reaches me to the eff
feet that the Inca is loading with American
coal at Newport News for the Marseilles
market indicates that the Information
which I forwarded to the department on
December %, 1898, may yet lead to happy
results. When the question was raised last
year of the possibility of introducing Amer
ican coal into this market, the freight
charges seemed to offer an almost insur-
mountable obstacle; but it appears improb
able that this difaculty will continue, If
American miners determine to secure a
share of the Mediterranean trade. The
coal commonly sold here Is poor in quality
and high in price This is always true, and
especially so of free-burning soft Goals and
anthracite. Quality alone should give the
American product considerable favor.

by the abnormally high prices Of coal in
the French market and the hope that the

Tertiary to which the District prisoners can

tertiary, it is stated, will soon be filled and
no more prisoners can be received. The
number of inmates has rapidly increased
since the state contracted to take the pris-
oners from the District of Columbia. There
is some talk in West Virginia of charging
the present penitentiary, while some of the
state officials favor the erection of another
