EXPORT TAX ON COAL.
Measure Debated lin the House Of Commons
British and American Coal.
(By The Associated Press.)

p Fl +
London, May There was q large
attendance in the House of Commons
today in anticipation of the discussion
of the new export tax on coal. The
Government issued an urgent whip
to the Unionist members, who are
largely pledged to vote against the tax.
The Government took strong preeau
tions to secure 2 majority.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt Glib
era) said the tax would throw the coal
trade into chaos and confusion. It was
nonsense to say the foreigner would
pay the tax because he could not do
without coal The Government of Italy
had answered that plea by taking coal
from America instead of this country
The trade of France was equally divn
ed between this country, Germany ana
Belgium. Sir William contended that
it was class legislation. and that the
tax would ultimately come out of the
miners wages.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer ad.
mitted that the tax, like every tax.
was an obstruction to trade. The real
question was. could the export tradt
in coal bear the tax? II could. Eng
lish coal was of SO good quality, thert
was much of il, and it could not be
got in any other country.
The CHANCELLOR submitted masses OF
statistics, which he summarized as
showing 225 million tons We're mined
in 1900 on which, after deducting IS
600, 900 pounds sterling in wages more
than in 1897, left the coal owners net
profit of 2e,0Oo,O00 pounds sterling on 4
capital of 100000 pounds sterling.
AS to the competition of the United
States Sir Michael Hicks Beach said:
Last year the price of our coal at the
port of export rose very much higher
than the price CT coal in the United
States. but in spite of that our export
of coal was 38,000,000 tons or 35OO,00o
tons more than the previous year. The
United States export a little over 16,
600, goo tons; if the United States could
not compete when the price of our coal
was very high, it would be absolutely
impossible fer them TO compete wheE
the price of our coal was low"
The debate was adjourned to Monday
next, when a division will be taken.

0bstreperous Terrapins.

The terra9ins in the pool in the State
Museum have been getting too gay lately,
There was a dozen of them, but ten have
been deported for misbehavior and now
there are but two to roost around on the
miniature rocks and gaze sorrowfully at
each other The unruly ten little terra
pins insisted On eating up all the plants
in the nool and one of the more unruly
ones is reported as having endeavored to
eat uD the finger of a lady who wanted
to pat him ON the back. So now the bad
ten are in Curator Brimley's pond, and
the two good terrapins have the State
Museum pool all to themselves.

PROP. LoyEJoY RESIGNS.
Leaves stanford University Because of the
aias Dismissal Of Prof Ross
CBy the Associated Press.

(By the Associated Press.)
stanford University, Cal, May 2.-In-
terest in the Ross incident was revived
today by the resignation of Professor
Arthur C. Lovejoy, as Professor OF
Philosophy. In his formal { letter OF
resignation Professor Loyejoy gives as
his reason the dismissal of Professor
r. A. Ross last November. and the
subsequent policy of the University
administration. After eXpressings his
conviction that Dr. Ross was dismissed
partly because of Mrs. Stanford's OBJ
lection to the participation of University
professors i'm political meetings, partly
because of her objection To the pacific
contents of DR.. Ross public utteranceS,
and partly because of vague fear of
dangerous social tendencies, which IL
was believed his teachings were likely
to foster, Professor Lovejoy continues
as follows
Il do not know what is meant by
the phrase academic freedan,.
1t seems to lend itself readilS
to sutleties of Interpretation, but / cer'
tainly conceive that the dismissal for
such reasons of any instructor. whom
the President of the University has re-
garded as a fit person to retain, in
wolves an infringement of liberties
which 1t Is the right and duty of UNI
yersity teachers TO demand. Unless
the members of our profession show
themselves punctilious in the mainte'
nance of those liberties-especially in
privately endowed institutions do
not see how either the dignity of the
teachers position or the leadership and
social usefulness of universities in our
democratic society can be preserved.
1T has become increasingly apparent,
however, that the administration of this
university takes a rather seriously
divergent view of the equities involved
in the cases that have arisen here dur.
ing the year. / think it necessary,
therefore. TO present my resignation.
The resignation of Professor Lovejoy
abs been accepted. His place viii be
filled by the Assistant Professor of
Logic, Charles b. Reiber, of Harvard,

GERMANS SEER A COAL STATION.
Will the Monroe Doctrine be Invoked to Pre-

lBy the Associated Press

Washington, May 2.-The Navy De
partment has been closely watching
the happenings near Margerita Island.
off the coast of Venezuela, which have
given rise to the report that German
coaling station is to be established
there. Last year a German warship
spent ten weeks in looking into the pos
sibilities of Margerita Island and this
fact led to an examination on our ow1
account which developed the presence
on this important strategic point Of one
of the finest harbors in South America,
the possession of which would afford
the United States or any other natfch

Panama Canal from the Eastern side.
