OUTBID BY ENGLAND.
American Coal Cannot Get Market in
Mediterranean Ports,

LONDON, July 29.-The British consul at
Marseilles reports that the most interest
ing feature Of the past year there was the
inability OF American coal to stay in that
market under existing conditions. A tenn
porary~ check to American coal imports
was caused by the fall In prices Of British
coal, and If prices remain at present fig
ures American coal will not be able to
compete for some time to come. A rise in
price, however, would bring American coal
to the Mediterranean even under existing
conditions. The consul points out that
strikes OF British miners in 1899 and the
consequent unprecedented dearth OF coal
gave America coveted opportunity to
place trial shipments. The report says that
2OOOOO tons delivered at Marseilles by Am
erican exporters gave full satisfaction as
to quality and did much to disstpate the
existing prejudice against American coal.
Inc dlHerence in firing value between Am
erican and English coal hitherto estimated
at lO. per cent against the American prod
uct has already been reduced to seven II
CRATE bars adapted to the use Of American
fuel were once introduced the balance
would favor America. The consul concludes
as follows:
When Americans get their own ship
ping, through bills of lading from the pit S
mouth to the Mediterranean, they !nevita-
Dry Will bring their coal to all great Med1-
terranean ports and even further, and this

LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Decision of Controller Trace
well Announced
TO PUBLIC PRINTER
employees NOT ENTITLED TO PAY
FOR SUNDAYS.
His Reasoning Given in Full-Former
Decision Referred to Pay-Al-
lowed for Holidays.

Mr.. R. J. Tracewell, controller of the
treasury, today sent to the public printer
decision that employees OF the government
printing office not entitled to thirty
days leave of absence exclusive of Sundays,
as are other employees of the government.
The decision is as follows:
Il have received your letter Of the 18th
instant, In which you request decision
whether under the provisions of section %
of the act of January u, 1895 (2S Stat, GOD,
relating to the public printing and binding,
and the acts making appropriations to carry
out those provisions, the employees Of the
government printing office are entitled to
pay for thirty days, exclusive of Sundays
and legal holidays, when on leave of alb
sence. You state that since June, 1889, the
public printer has been governed in this mat
ter by a decision of the first controller of
May IS, 1889, and by the opinion of the
Court OF Claims in the case of Harrison agt.
United States rendered April IL, 1891, which
were adverse to such payments.
Action of Public Printer Approved.
LAS preliminary to the consideration of
the question involved, it may be stated that
practice based upon and in harmony with
a ruling of the controller and an adjudica-
ton by the Court of Claims which has been
adhered to for more than ten years should
not be disturbed unless such practice is
clearly shown to have been erroneous, or
unless some subsequent legislation makes
different practice necessary and proper.
Section 23 of the act of January Il, 1895,
supra, provides:
The employees of the government print
ing office, whether employed by the piece or
otherwise, shall be allowed leaves of alb
sence with pay to the extent of not exceed
ing thirty days in any one fiscal year under
such regulations and at such times as the
public printer may designate at the rate of
pay received by them during the time in
which said leave was earned; but such leave
shall not be allowed to accumulate from
year to year. Such employees as are engaged
on piece work shall receive the same rate
of pay for the said thirty days leave as
will be paid to day hands,
The first act relating to leaves of alb
sence with pay in the government printing
office bears date of June 80 1886 GA Stat,
Sd, and as amended by the act of August
l, 1888 (25 Stat, 3o2), may be written as
follows: That the employees of the govern
ment printing office, whether employed by
the piece or otherwise, be allowed a leave
of absence with pay, not exceeding thirty
days in any one fiscal year, after the ser
vice Of one year, and under such regula-
tons and at such time as the public printer
may designate. Such employees as are en-
gagged on piece work shall receive the same
rate Of pay for the said thirty days leave
as will be paid to day hands: Provided
That 1t shall be lawful to allow pro rata
leave to those serving fractional parts of

Il knew Mr.. Ross well when he was at

His courtesy was that Of the old school,
