senting an increase since 1890 OF 1885, 1856. or

One OF the most impressive contributions
10 that made by Consul Halstead at Bir-
mfngham. inclosing the results of CON-
petitive test Of American and British coal
by the South Metropolitan Gas Company
Of London. The chairman of that COM
pany reported that American coal yielded
1900 feet of gas per ton, against 10000
In the English coal, while the coke was
plentiful and good So, consequently.
though the American was quoted higher
than English coal. 1t was actually cheaper.
1t has also been found that the American
coal was superior to the Australian coal.
and market was opening in that direction
for 1t. There was talk also OF building
10,00O-ton vessels for the express purpose
OF taking American coal To the Mediterra-
mean. because the freight rates at present
made the price of the American coal higher
than It should be.
Consul General Osborne at London. In
upon the arrival Of a cargo OF
American gas coal there. predicts that
during the coming winter coal will rise to
$12. 15 to $1336 per ton in Great Britain,
more than double the ordinary winter price.

SIX DAYS or DAMPNESS.
Weather Bureau Predicts Pleasant
Weather for Tomorrow.

Those mysterious meteorological powers
that govern the weather in the vicinity of
the national capital of this proud and pros
porous nation seem determined to make the
year 1900 notable for unpleasant distinc-
ton. After a summer Of unparalleled heat
when relentless steadness of torture is con-
sidered, they have gone 10 work and given
what should be the most favored commu-
nifty of the continent another dose Of the
disagreeable.
The sun has not shone altogether on the
roofs of Washington an hour in the past
six days, the present dismal sky having
been ushered in Friday.
At the weather bureau this afternoon it
was stated that the conditions which had
prevailed during the past week were due,
not to any unusual phenomenon, but to the
continuance of the northeast winds. which
at this season of the year always bring
cloudy weather with rain 1t is likely that
tomorrow the winds will be more from the
east and the south. and the weather will
be pleasant
Washington people have about reached
the stage when no weather sent would sur
prise them in the slightest not even IL
there was a sleighing snow storm tomor-
row, followed by a record-breaking up

LAND OFFICE POSITIONS.
Examinations to Re Held by the Civil
Service Comm issiOn.

Service Com m ss1On.
The civil service commission will hoid
examinations October % at various places
throughout the United States for appoint
ment to the positions of register and re-
ceivers and surveyor generals clerk in the
land office service. Temporary appoint
ments without examination have been made
in many of the land offices located in the
various states in the west, among which
the following specifically mentioned:
Oregon Washington, Montana, Idaho. New
Mexico Wyoming, Colorado. Minnesota,
Louisiana and Oklahoma territory. 1t is
expected that from the eligibles resulting
from these examinations certitication will
be made to fill these positions and for other
similar vacancies as they shall occur.
The commission calls special attention to
the fact that heretofore 1t has experienced
considerable difficulty in securing a sufti-
cient number of eligibles to fill these posi-
tions and it therefore hopes that all per-
sons who feel that they are qualified will
make application for and enter the exami-
nations. These examinations are open to
all citizens of the United States who COM
ply with the requirements and desire to
enter the service. All such persons are in
vited to apply, and applicants will be ex-
amined graded and certified with entire i'm
partiality and wholly without regard to any
consideration save their ability as shown
by the grade attained in the examination.
Preference may be given to eligibles who
are residents of the place or vicinity where
the vacancy exists.

THE RAILWAY CROSSINGS.
Complaint That They Are Obstructed
in south Washington.

The attention Of the District Commission
ers has been invited by Mr.. George B. Os-
termayer TO what he terms is IA most de-
plorable condition of affairs at the railroad
crossings in South Washington" As an
illustration of what he claims Is only
fair sample of a condition which not infre
Quently obtains in that section, at almost
ali crossings, he states that the morning OF
the 2Sth of last month four cars of the
Capital Traction Company in each direC-
ton, vehicles of all descriptions, besides
number Of pedestrians, were blocked at the
crossing at 1th street and Maryland avenue
fully fifteen minutes by a train which had
stopped directly on the crossing.
''Perhaps. says Mr.. Ostermayer 1--WE
should probably have become accustomed
to these vexatious delays and annoyances
but 1t does seem TO us. recognizing, as we
do. the totally inadequate facilities of the
railroad company. that they should be made
either to break their trains at intervals
allowing those waiting to pass through or
have them stopped before crossing Is
reached. 1t is needless for me to tell you
that traffic is quite heavy at these cross
ings. and that the Inconvenience occasioned
is not small
The complaint will probably be referred
to the police department. for its investiga-
tion and, If necessary, its action.
