Additions to the Navy.

Some time during the present week it Is
TO be expected that the House Committee

ing for a material increase of our naval
strength. and embodying the recommends
lions of Admiral Dewey for three battle
ships of an improved Oregon type, three
armored cruisers of thirteen thousand tons
displacement. of the Brooklyn type, three
protected cruisers OF eight TO ten thousand
tons displacement and six gunboats.
The committee was originally inclined to
build more gunboats and fewer vessels of
the higher classes, but we are glad to OBJ
serve that the Admiral of the Navy has
been able to convert the members from
that notion and 10 secure the construction
of the powerful battleshps and cruisers he
realizes may be badly needed before long.

1t is well known that the Adjutant Cen

COAL MINES IN INDIA.
Pits That Can he Worked Without
Freeing Firednmp.

(FrOm the Philadelphia Record-)
Coal is widely distributed throughout In
dia, except in Bombay and Sind. the north
west provinces, and Oudh, Rajputana. and
MysOre. where the mineral is either
scantily distributed or entirely absent. The
seams in Bengal and Assam are frequent
~ from nifty feet and eighty feet to as
much as $50 feet in thickness. The pits
are often of considerable depth. AT pres
ent the deepest appears to be about 700
feet. In may cases the working of the
seams leads to the escape of little or no
fire damp, SO that the miners are able to
work with naked lights. At the present
time Bengal produces more than three
fourths of~the coal mined in India. Indian
coal varies much in composition and quail
~. Most OF il is quite suitable for ordi-
nary purposes while some Of the samples
for example. certain of these from Be gal
and Central India, are of excellent qui ,ty.
equal to that OF some of the best British
Goals.
The fixed carbon of the Bengal coal
ranges between 80 and so per cent. and the
calorifc value exceeds 5000 caIories-equal
to about ten British thermal units-while
the ash often does not much exceed and in
some instances falls below 10 per cent ard
the sulphur frequently present in but very
small proportion.

ICES that it Will require the hardest kind
of work to get this sum, if it is col
lected at all.
Most of the large corporations and manu-
facturers have already contributed all
they feel disposed to give. The mayor is
very much discouraged because the wool
men have not responded more literally to
the appeals of his committees He said
yesterday:
why. some of the largest houses in
this line in the city have contributed only
$500. And this, in view of the fact that
this trade has been especially benefited
by the protective policy of the Republican
party and Notwithstanding the personal
interest always manifested. by President
Mckinley in that particular industry.
The great majority of manufacturers
have simply ignored the appeals of the
finance COMMITTEES. Some of them have even
done this after letters of personal appeal
had been sent TO them and calls had been
made upon them. What l say in regard
to the wool trade is equally true of the
iron and steel trade. We have been just
as unsuccessful with one as with the
other.
Had the National Committee changed
the place of holding the convention from
Philadelphia to New York, as they had in
contemplation some time ago, it would
then have awakened the wealthy Repub-
licans in this city, who have go largely
profited by the Republican policy, to the
disgrace and modification that would have
fallen upon our city. If these wealthy
Republicans. who can well afford to con-
tribute $1,000 each, would come forward

Owing 10 the cleverness of a Sheffield
manufacturer. the ancient custom of wear
ing chain and mail is likely to be re
vived The abandonment of the coat of
mail was due to the superior piercing abil-
ity of the modern missile. which rem
dered the coat useless for ordinary pur
poses of protection. Moreover, its unwield-
mess made It worthless as a protection
against the attack OF steel Now. however,
the cleverness OF a Sheffield manufacturer
has produced a shirt of mail that weighs
less than twelve pounds that can readily
be worn beneath the coat, which is i'm
pervious to every attack except that of
the composition bullet. His product is
having a large sale, and is likely to be
more widely used as it becomes better
known.
it is composed OF small steel rings linked
together so finely that even the point of
pin cannot penetrate through them. At the
same time, they are so flexible that they
can be worn without the slightest d;scom-
fort.
They cover the entire breast and back
from the neck to the thighs and extend
down the arm to the elbow Thus it will
protect anyone from an attack of dagger or
sword in every vulnerable place. Its value
