Alabama Coal in New Orleans.

The Warrior Coal Company has con tracted to deliver 100000 tons of Ala bama coal in New Orleans in the year beginning November l at $2 ton. It is to be steam coal, or run-of-the-mines. This price not only drives Pennsyl- vania steam coal out of the New Or leans market, but it makes the battle with fuel oil very feasible and possi- ble. Cheap coal held it's own in the Northern States against oil, and it will do so in New Orleans. Pennsylvania coal will be driven out
 All this is to be accomplished by means of water transportation. A barge line is to be established by all .le interests more directly repre- sented. The coal dealers of New Or leans, the Lake Borgne canal people, anS the coal operators at this end of the line will each and all have a hand
 
 the Open Warrior. The first line will s lead to other lines until the river is Nrowded with them. It is the survival of the fittest, the beginning of the end.
 There is a fine profit in coal barged to New Orleans at $2 a ton. The cost of transportation should not exceed 50 cents a ton, including canal charges in the Lake Borgpe canal, leaving $1.50 to the operator. This district stands ready to sell 1O,0OO,OOO tons year at that price.
 Those who have mad little faith in water transportation in the Warrior should begin to take more optimistic view of the situation, for there is nothing more certain in this district than an open and efficient waterway. congress should become more optimis- ..c also in this matter, and it should this winter order locks and dams to be built to the mouth of Village creek, anI the first work in that creek should pe begun. Congressman Underwood and his colleagues will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to carry on this great work, and what their ex- perience and influence cannot accom- p,.sh no one in this State can do. There is to be an Open Warrior-do not forget that. Build with reference to it. Let it enter into all your plans, whether you are opening mines, build ing houses, or making pig iron.

LONG ON VACATION.
Secretary of the Navy Going to Take
 Long Rest.

Washington. July 2s.-Secretary Long will leave here Thursday for his annual vacation. the major portion of which will be spent at his home at Hingham, Mass. He probably will return to Washington during the early part of September prior to the date when the schley court of in- quiry meets.
 Assistant Secretary Hackett will act as secretary. MT. Hackett is expected to re- tire from the department early in Septem- Der. His successor has not yet been se- lected. Secretary Long would be grati- fled to have Governor Allen resume his duties as assistant secretary, which he relinquished when he went to Porto Rico and it seems probable that this may fol- low.

Grand Opera for Birmingham.

The prospect for having one night of grand opera in Birmingham the latter part of October by Graus great Metropol- itan Company is growing brighter and brighter" said John L. Parker, secretary and treasurer of the Choral Society.
 "Details are now being arranged by Grau's representative with view of placing Birmingham in the company g booking, but no contract will be closed until several thousand dollars shall have been guaranteed. Birmingham music lovers and theater goers and business men In general will be quick in subscrib- ing the money necessary to secure this attraction. They are certainly not going to let Atlanta, Nashville and Memphis get ahead of them when it comes to mu- sic such as Grau gives.
 ''In addition to the famous principals, including Miss Bridewell and a large cho- rus, Grau will bring on this tour Dam rosch and his superb orchestra of fifty pieces."

THE scHLEv COURT OF INQUIRY.

From the Chicago 4nter-Ocean.
 The board of inquiry in the case of Rear Admiral schley represents the very best traditions of the navy. It represents also, more than any other naval board of inquiry ever called in the United States, the professional pride. the dignity, and the judicial spirit associated with high rank. the fairness and chivalric qualities belonging to ready fighters. and the rl- pened judgment that comes with varied experience in the service.
 Dewey, the president of the board. Is the only member who may properly be called contemporary of either schley or Sampson. Kimberley entered the service In ls4s and Benham in 1S47. Both were officers of experience when the civil war opened.
 Dewey entered the service in 1851, Schely in 1856, Sampson in 1857. All were young officers at the beginning of the civil war. Kimberley and Benham rap- resent the old as well as the new service and the standards of both. Dewey stands before the world as the. personihcation of the discipline, the high spirit, and the fighting qualities of our modern navy
 In the matter of locality, the board could not have been more wisely chos- en. Kimberly was appointed to the na- val academy from Illinois. Benham from New York, Dewey from Vermont. None of them has been involved in the samp- son controversy. All of them have at heart the best interests of the navy. No one believes that Dewey or Benbam or Kimberly will be influenced by prejudice or swayed by personal friendship.
 It is fortunate that the inquiry into the conduct of so distinguished an off, cer as Admiral Schley Is to be made by board of such high character. Ad-
