our own case, has been much more rapid
than that of any other country. The
united kingdom, for instance exported
30, 142 S39 tons in 1890 and 46 los OH tons in
1900, the relative growth being much
greater in the case of the United States
than In the case of the united kingdom.
Germany is the second great coal-export-
ing country of the world, and her exports
only increased from 9,li5,o00 metric tons
In 1890 to 15,276,000 tons in 1900. The
United States now ranks third in the mat
ter of coal expectations. while Belgium
ranks fourth. with a total expectation of
g. 114,O00 tons in 1890 and 6931 575 tons in
1900. Thus the relative growth of coal ex-
ports from the United States by far ex-
ceeds that of any other nation. while 1t
now holds third place in actual exporta-
tion. In production the United States has
within the last two years taken first rank,
her total coal production in 1899, the latest
available year, being 226 553 ,56I tons,
against 220094, 7S1 tons by the united king
dom: while in 1890 the production of the
united kingdom was 1S1 614, ,2SS tons, and
that Of the United States 1i0, ,SS2 729 tons
The following table shows the exports of
coal from the united kingdom. Germany
and the United States in each year from
1885 to 1900. the figures for Germany being
in metric tons Of 2.204 pounds. and those
for the united kingdom and United States

Eject of Recent Earthquake Shock in
Constan tiRODIe

Lloyd c. Griscom, who has been for q
year and half United States charge daft
faires and acting minister at Constantino-
pie. was passenger on the steamship St
Louis of the American Line arriving at
New York yesterday. In an interview Mr.
Griscom gave the following account of the
recent earthquake shock in ConstantinopIe.
The scene was in the great white palace
Sulma Bagtche, on the bank of the Bos-
phOrus, and in the largest hall In Eurona
Thousands were assembled to do honor to
the sultan, the high civic representatives of
the national religion, pilgrims of all de-
grees, priests of Mecca, deyotees of every
description were filing past to do him rev
erence. The official band Of the empire was
dlscoursing classic music as we'll as reli-
gious and national anthems In gallery

suddenly there came strange tremor Of
the walls of the palace. AT first we as
sumed 1t to be an unusual blast of wind
pnt II was unlike any wind. Before we
could discuss the matter the second and
great shock came. and with it panic
stricken people, such as cannot be de-
scribed.

mass OF frightened devotees
The band broke off in the midst of a fine
burst OF harmony. and the musicians rush
ed 1or the exits, In company with the thou
SANDS in the auditorium. Half the diplo-
matte corps made maddened break for
the stairways.
In the midst OF this terrible melee the
sultan arose from his throne, lifted his
haEds In supplication for silence and in
tones which could be clearly heard above
an the screams and groans commanded
the vast throng TO be calm and orderly.
Then, by his direction. a high priest of
Mecca began to intone the prayer especially
written for use when earthquakes occur.
The priests voice rung above the confu-
sion, and as he said the last word the
vibrations ceased and the terrible scene
was ended 1t was tragic drama, which
nope never again to witness When fear
began to give way to confidence the sultan
motIoned with his hands for the procession
to go on and the devotees once more filed
