Prospects for American Coal in Fiancc.'-
'.Ihc first cargo of United States coal ever
ceivcd at Rochelle is now being unloaded at the
basin OF La Pallice This Is the first instamcnt
on contract for several thousand tons, and is
to be used by locomotives The cargo, after lis
long voyage, was found to be in good condi.
ton, containing, it Is estimated, from forty to
afty per cent of Jumps. Accordingly, the i'm.
preston made by ii are very favorable. The
trials OF this coal, which are not vet completed,
are giving splendid results and promise to be
satisfactory in every way. This lot of coal
sold to the French purchasers by an important
house at Cardiff, the transaction being greatly
facilitated by exceptionally low freight rates.

there Is a possibility that complete
Justice was denied to these American
defendants IT will be in order for their
friends and the officials at Washing
ton to keep the case open.
We confess that we are not much
impressed by some of the methods by
which some OF Rathbone's alleged
friends are trying to manufacture
sympathy for him. Especially tishy Is
the assertion emanating from their
corner to the effect that Rathbone was
the victim of conspiracy plotted by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow with a view to discrediting
the former first assistant postmaster
general, Perry Heath. the immediate
sponsor for Neely. Reeves and Rath-
bone. There Is absolutely no evidence
of such Il conspiracy. The likelier
supposition would be that General
Bristow is feeling the effects of Il con-
spiracy to punish him for hewing so
fearlessly to the line of duty when he
went to cuba to uncover the truth
concerning the postal irregularities.
This. however, has no bearing on the
proprety of the demand for thor
ough review of the proceedings of the
Cuban court Such u review, having
been asked for, should be made by the
American department of justice. once
made, it would end the matter. ..

Through Other Spectacles.

Some very good stories are told OF the impres
sion made upon those who attend for the first
time the very high church Episcopalian service,
with its elaborate ritual and its extraordinary
musical features nj the Church OF st. Mary
ihe Virgin. The reply OF Il very prominent
Catholic priest, when asked by the friend who
lad taken him there how he liked the service,
'Wcll really, / prefer the simple ritual of my
own church." is q current story at the clubs.
Even more amusing was the comment of the
elderly Scotchwoman whose relatives said to her,
as they were leaving after The service:

Long Island Peculiarities.

The class in geography in one OF the Brool;yn
schools was being examined the other day when
the teacher asked:
"Wlat are some of the natural peculiarities Of
Long Island?'
The pupils induged in some heavy thinking,
but none responded. suddenly a tat boy with
a red face, who had been shifting uneasily about
in his seat, received an inspiration.

"Well what are ,hcy?" encouraged the

Would Have to Make It.

The late William d. Garrison, for many years
president of the Hotel Mems association, was
proprietor of one of our big uptown hotels. His
employees taught rules of the strictcst econ
omy. The overzcalous subordinate often carried
the matter of economy to the extreme.
A sweeper one day asked Joe, the head porter,
for bag of sawdust with which TO cover the
icy sidewalk. Joe had been with Mr.. Garrison
twenty five years and his eleventh commandment
enioined economy.

Wanted the Devil to Take Her.

Aunt Louisa was visiting Teddy's mamma and
in her absence punished Teddy, aged five, for Il
n,islcmeanor. Not long after she discovered
Teddy at his mammals desk, up to his first
joint in ink, and writing letter. Watching his
movements she saw him take the letter down
into the yard, dig hole, bury the letter, and
stamp on it as emphatically as his fat little
feet would permit. After he had disappeared in
the direction Of the stables. where his aunt

900 less than in the year 1900
mas evoked a considerable discussion
of the prospects of our foreign COM
mercc, particularly with reference to
whether our exporters have not
reached pretty close to the limit of the
economic conditions.
An inquiry into this matter which
rarries weight is made in the Popular
Science Monthly by Frederic Emory,
chief of the bureau OF foreign COM
merce in the state department at
clearly that a decline of SAG, 6,OOOOOO in
exports of manufactures. such as took
place last year in comparison with
the year previous, warrants the belief
that temporarily. at least the much
talked of american invasion has en-
countered a set back But he is not
discouraged thereby. "Whatever the
symptoms of Il falling off in our sales
abroad. the causes" he writes "are
not to be found in any decline in our
industrial efficiency or in a more
strenuous competition on the part of
Europe. 1t is evident, however, that
if we would again attain the rate of
progress of a year ago and keep it
against all cOmers. we must avail our
selves of something more than our in
digenous resources. AS yet we cannot
be said to have made full use of our
powers. 1t must not be forgotten that
our sudden and surprising success in
invading Europe with manufactured
goods was due, not to systematic and
concerted effort on our part but to the
need of finding outlets for surplus prod
act and the unlocked for recognition
by European purchasers of the superb
ority of many articles of American
manufacture. To very great extent
)ur goods have sold themselves in the
European markets, and that, too, in
the face of high tariffs. of the hostility
of industrial interests, and of Il very
general indsposition on the part of
our manufacturers to adapt their
styles, patterns. etc, to the tastes or
prejudices of foreign consumers"
From this quotation it is easy to in
fer how Mr.. Emory proposes that our
foreign business may be developed.
THE establishment OF sample ware
houses and ageDies at important
trade centers; the employment of COM
mercal travellers convcrsant with the
language, customs, trade usages OF
particular countries; the development
of adequate b King and transporter
tiOn facilities; tho adoption of proper
methods of packing: the Offering of
more liberal credits--these,' Mr.. En-
ory is conv inced, ARE some of the con-
ditions of the full utilization of our
opportunities in foreign markets. II
to these we add provision for larger
volume of exchange with countries
which, td a greater or less extent, are
now excluded from. our markets, the
real strength of our competitive pow
ers will be developed
In other words, William Mckinley's
farewell endorsement of reciprocity as
the necessary complement of protec-
ton must be considered and followed
in preference to the selfish clamor of
special interest. The truth of this will
grow with the passing years.

Local sportsmen are decidedly sore over
the manner in which the ex-champion has

They are almost a unit in declaring that
his talk of fearing foul play is nothing
but a subterfuge to escape from facing
the champion.
