RUSHING COAL TO MARKET.
The Reading Company Broke Its Rec
ord YESTERDAY,


A dispatch from Reading, Pa last night
says: By midnight tonight the Reading COM
pany expects to have transported to market
for the preceding forty-e.ght hours $500
cars Of anthracite COAL This movement of
warding this great quantity the company
is breaking its records Today every loco
motive of all classes was pressed into serv-
ice and all available freight crews were
called upon to lend hand. Most of the
The officials estimate that during the holi-
back to working promptly, 10000 tons of
anthracite failed to reach market.
A dispatch from Scranton. Pa, says: Fol-
lowing the lead Of the Lehigh Valley, the
Jersey Central and the Reading companies,
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Company yesterday acceded to the demand
of Its contract shippers to suspend the
$3.50 per cent contract until circular and
actual market prices again conform.
Only about half of the Independent opera
tors are selling under the 65-35 contract.
They have had to be content with TO per
cent of IS on big sizes, and the same per
cent of 1915 on small sizes, the arbitrary
figure fixed by the carriers for coal at tide
water. The independents who were not I'M
der contract terms have sold their coal at
the breaker for at least S. ton and the
purchaser looked after the freight.
The contract independents argued that
1t was unfair that they should be bound by
an arbitrary circular price when they could
get fully 80 per cent better prices, and par
ticularly when other Independents were
getting all that the law Of supply and de-
mand allows.
This means that the Independents are
now all free to sell their coal at the breaker
at the best prices they can secure, leaving
RI 10 chaC fO w he
about freight charges.
In return for the concession the indie
pendents have promised to favor the east
and New England, where coal is most
needed. and with this end in view they
have already announced that no more coal
will be sold by them at retail.

Capt. Olys added that there vas possible
ty that the Prince CT Wales and his royal
uncle, the Duke Of Connaught. will come as

I'm case the Prince of Wales comes he
will take the place Of King Edward. who as

rightly made the basis of public instruction.
= It II wrong to suppose, however, that the
native languages have been entirely neglect
ed. In nearly all the schools the pupils are
learning to read and to write their own
language at the same time Of learning Eng
lish. THIS Is carried out to the extent OF
the reading chart and the primer: Inter-
linear primers are now being used in Taga-
log. visyan and Ilocano. The American
teachers have been requested from the out
set to learn the native languages, and their
knowledge in this respect was one OF the
factors officially considered In recommend
ing them for increases OF salary. 1t will be
seen. therefore. that far from attempting
to drown out the native languages by SUBJ
merging "the archipelago In a wave Of Eng
lish education" as suggested In the article
in the Educational Review, the Philippine
government Is seeking to make use Of the
native languages in as far as seems wise
or as their limitations will allow. DR.. At
kinson closes his forthcoming report with
the following words: Native dialects will
continue to be spoken: but English will be-
come the official language. the medium for
the transmission of modern currents Of
thought-in short, modern civilization"

freight yards Postal clerks tell of a large
number OF cars standing on sidetracks
which have been headed In this direction
and left at places where there Is no use for
such quantities Of coal.
The writer has so far no complaint to
make against the dealer who ha9 in past
years furnished him with coal. nor with his
prices. There are undoubtedly some coal
dealers who have souls, But there are
other coal dealers. Let him who Is paying
from $12 to SIC ton for coal draw his own
conclusion as to whether his man has a soul
In proportion to the prices he charges when
he conducts his business In such a manner

TRIAL OF THE MAcDoNoUGH.
New Destroyer Makes $500 Knots OF
Test Trip.

The torpedo-boat destroyer Macdonough
built by the Fore River Ship and Engine
Company Of Quincy. Mass. was success
fully speeded over a measured mile of
Woodend, Provincetown, Saturday. She
exceeded her contract requirement of twen-
ty-eight knots, making one leg at a rate Of
1885, The best two runs over the mile
averaged 2SO2, which was the speed which
gained her acceptance by the government
board.
This trial was so encouraging that at
it's conclusion it was decided to have an
other government test-that of an endur-
ance run of one hour at continued speed
Of twenty-six knots. This was attempted
on the trip back to Boston, across Cape
Cod bay, but after three-quarters Of the
time had been consumed valve blew out,
and the trial was postponed until Tuesday.
The high-speed trial was made under
somewhat adverse conditions, there being
heavy cross sea. At its conclusion some
Of the government officials did not hest
tate to say that had the run been made
under conditions usually attending govern
ment trials the boat would have gone
twenty-nine knots. The first mile stretch
of water had been staked off by two buoys
just of the shore between Woodend light
and Race Point. The Macdonough steam
ed up the course, and. swinging round.
came down the stretch for the mark at
twenty-two-knot gait. 1t took her two
minutes and thirty-eight seconds to cover
the distance between the buoys
A quick turn was made and then back
over the course in an opposite direction
she came in Pap, the average Of the two
being 22.60 knots per hour. Without
pause she was sent Off third time. On
this trip the run was made in 2:21. and the
one in the opposite direction in 2:26, the
average speed being M.9O.
With the steam pressure above 200 pounds,
the Macdonough once more was sent for
T.
aged 26.6 knots. By this time everything
was at the highest tension, and hundred
yards from the mark the naval sprinter
was fairly Kissing through the water.
Going over the starting line she was
making something over % knots, and for
a minute or more this terrific speed was
kept up. But suddenly the steam pressure
dropped, and when the mile was finished
1t was found that she was still trifle
under the contract. 27.4s knot gait.
Again the destroyer. with every bit OF
machinery working at the highest speed,
rushed down for the line This time there
was no falling of Of the steam. 1t not
only held. but jumped up to 260 pounds,
lions per minute the boat kept her speed
of over % knots right up to the end.
The rate for this last mile was 2O6. or
at rate Of 1856 knots per hour. which
will stand as the Macdonough's maximum
Of speed.
Instead Of making another run back for
an average. It was decided to take the one
Just before and the mean between the two
was found to be 28.02 knots per hour. This
result was accepted by the government
board.
Later the Macdonough was headed
straight for Boston lightship. and for forty
five minutes everything worked smoothly.
But just as she was getting well up to
matte shut-on blew out, and the trial came
to an end.

Vicious Elephant Killed by Electricity
at Coney Island.

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: Several hundred spectators today
witnessed the execution by electricity at
Coney Island of Topsy. an elephant who
had killed three men and had recently be-
come unmanageable. Immediately after 200
grains of cyanide of potassium had been
administered. concealed in a carrot. a cur
rent Of $500 volts was turned on through
copper plates on which the animal stood.
Almost instantly the elephant fell. and at
the end Of ten seconds, when the current
was turned of, was pronounced dead. An
autopsy showed that the poison had not
had time to take effect. The execution
was conducted under the supervision of the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to.
Animals.
Topsy was about thirty-flve years old,
and was the first baby eiephane exhibited
In this country. when she was brought
here by Adam Forepaugh twenty-eight
years ago.
