DEBATE Is ON
Which Is to Decide the Question OF
TAXING English Coal


London. May 2.-The fun house and
galleries had to wait until nearly 6 O'Clock
for the beginning of the debate. Sir VIII
liam Vernon Harcourt liberal. led with
a severe. almost violent, arraignment OF
the government. He said the tax would
throw the coal trade into chaos and con-
fusion. It was nonsense to say the for
eigner would pay the tax because he could
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 divided
between this country and Belgium.
The chancellor of the excheQuer. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach. interrupting said:
I'VE are beating the others.
Then go on beating them. said Sir
william Vernon Harcourt. why throw a
shilling into the scale against this coun-
try2''
Sir William contended that it was class
legislation and that the loss would ulti-
mately come out Of the miners wages.
The chancellor Of the exchequer ad-
mitted that the tax, like every tax, was
an obstruction on trade. The real ques-
ton was, could the export trade in coal
bear the taxi It could English coal was
of 50 good quality, there was much of it.
and it could not be got in any other
country Thus to a large extent it was
free from competition.

washington. May 2-The Washington
clew in the Willie Mccormick alleged
kidnapping case is about exploded. The
detectives have practically concluded
that the slip of paper and the myster
ious coincidence by which it came into
their possession, were the result of con-
nivance between parties in New York,
who had access to the Mccormick home
and others. The gypsies who figured so
largely in the matter have been driven
from Alexandria county and are now on
their way to Pittsburg.

but this was not carried farthe', owing
to the fact that such written agree

the United States. For this reason the
agreement was left in the shape of a

will be n basic rate.
