FEARS AMERICAN COMPETITION.
British Consul at Marseilles Sees Loss
Of Coal Trade.

of Coal Trade.
LONDON, August THE British con-
sular report regarding trade at Marseilles,
issued this morning, declares that the most
vital recent development, from British
viewpoint, Is the determined attempt Of the
United States to obtain a monopoly of the
coal imports at that port. The report fur
ther says it is still too early to say how
much Of the general activity in Marseilles
in the future will be due to American en-
terprise and energy, but it is certain that
a large share of the future trade and COM
mercial activity. both at Marseilles and In
the south of France generally, will be alb
sorbed by the United States, and consd-
erable portion of it, at the expense of the
united kingdom. unless British traders
wake up to the danger and fight it by COM
bination.
"a great coal combine Is contemplated"
the report adds. "Without it American
coal will surely share the market. but will
not be able to entirely oust British coal
It would simply be a question of freights
and quality, both Of which are against the
United States. but the proposed combine
looks dangerous.

Evidences That Lord PauncefOte Ma.

BE Named.
There are evidences that in case the ne
gotiations for the resumption Of the work
of the joint high commission prove sue
cessful, the British government may con-
slider the advisability Of naming Lord
Pauncefote to succeed the late Lord Her.
schel as head of the delegation represent
ing British and Canadian interests. The
commission deals with the many border
controversies long existing between the
United States and Canada, and the Canad-
ian officials have naturally felt that they
had more direct interest in its work than
the imperial authorities. But in order to
give an imperial aspect to the commission,
Lord HerSchel was named to cooperate
with the Canadian authorities. Since his
death no one has been named to succeed
him, and the matter is still in allegiance
owing to the doubt as to whether the work
will be resumed. The recent tendency has
been toward settling the several contro-
versies through the usual diplomatic chan
nels, instead of by the commission In case
Lord Pauncefote is designated on the COM
mission he will combine the functions of
an ambassador in close and constant COM
munication with the authorities here, and
will have the advantage Of participation in
the work of the commission.
