supply OL coal TO the admiralty.
Never before have the naval authors
ties of eEngland bought coal from this
country and this fact in Itself is evil
dence Of the extreme scarcity which
prevails on. the other side. 1t is the
opinion of coal dealers in this city that
many million tons of American coal will
be sent across the Atlantic before the
existing crisis is ended.
While the dealers who were seen yes
terdaN would not commit themselves to
any decided expression of opinion as to
Whether the present demand for the
American product would be permanent
they did not hesitate to say that once
having Obtained a foothold in Europe
the American producers would make
the most of their opportunity.
f 1t was pointed out that now Europe
has begun buying from this country
there We're many reasons Why she
would continue doing so.
In England there are only about three
varieties of coal, While here at least a
hundred varieties are mined. Each of
these Varieties requires more or less
different handling at the hands of the
stcckers, and one of the causes why
this country's product has not been
particularly Favored in Great Britain
and in other countries is because the
proper manner OF using it has not been
understood.
This drawback is likely to vanish.
now. Again, in the past America has
shipped only its poorest Goals to Eu-
rope. To the detriment hitherto of a.
trade That now seems likely to reach an.
enormous volume. So shortsighted a
.p0licy, however, will no longer be in.
dulssi! in by the American miners.

One of the members of the firm said:

which is making all the civilized ma
tiuns anxious to be ready for any erner-
5ency. To add to all@tilis is the strike
inst England has had to endure. Is it
much Of Wonder then. that the re-
sources If Great Britain in the way of
supplying Europe With coal should be
JaXed as never before?
SO many ships are being used for
carving troops and for othe, purposes

inFtters tits Mccoy aid his corkscrew
p9hsh against Corbett hnd what Ii left
OF ms all around talents of few years.
Corbett is a. wonderful boxer, but he
is far from being the Corbett physical
9ly who fought Peter Jackson to
standstili. and who defeated Kilrain,
Sullivan and Mitchell. That is why he
is considered little better than an equal
match for man fifteen pounds lighter
than himself.
Mccoy is clever, cruel and srafty. He.
spars open-handed at times, and he
catches incoming gloves with fists In
them as trick monkey catches pea
nuts. Then he has the corkscrew punch
and others, any one of which, it is said
may prove Corbett's undoing.
Condition is the all-important factor
in this fight. 1t is just possible that If
the affair opens out as a long-range
tussle between the scientific boxers and
continues so it may go the limit Each
man, no doubt is fitted for journey
|of that kind and in such a contest Cor
bett's prospects of securing the verdict
would be particularly bright.
But around among the adherents of
1.-THE men it is whispered that there are
hard feelings. and that Jim and the
Kid Will come to blows the instant
they are left together in the ring. In
willing fight of this kind McCoy's cork
screw punch may turn the trick early,
or the Kid himself may sink to the
floor under one of Corbettis jolly left
