TRIAL OF SHAMROCK III.
Shows Herself to Be the Fastest of
 Lipton's Challensers.

Govrock, Scotland, March 3l-The Sham rock III had trial spin today and show ed herself superior to the Shamrock II on all the points of sailing on which she was tested The yachts were out five hours and experts expressed the opinion that the new boat demonstrate that in me weather she is by far the fastest challenger yet sent out.
 The trial was entirely in light winds and smooth water, hut under these con- dluons the challenger beat the Shamrock The latter was never before beaten under similar conditions on either side of the Atlantic. The new challenger proved remarkably quick in going about She showed herself a little tender in squalls, but sailed with her lee rail just clear Of the water. The wind fell off early in the afternoon as the yachts reached out of Rothesay bay and along the bute, where the principal work was done. Shamrock l at that time was near holding the challenger than at any other however, proved the better boat and gain ed a little. The yachts then squared away and ran across the Firth for the Cambras shore, with little difference in their relative positions. Of Cambrae the boats, by arrangement rejoined one another and started afresh on a long turn to wtndward and back towards the Rothesay shore. This was considered crucial test and 1t would have been more satisfactory if there had been more wind, but as 1t was the Shamrock III behaved excellently. going fast and always hold ing the better wind than the older boat On the conclusion of the windward work a turn was made south to Rothesay Bay.
 The Shamrock l. was again allowed to go ahead a dozen lengths. after which the challenger started in pursuit and with the boats reaching free in the same water and with the wind practically attording them level conditions, she not only rapidly overhauled her opponent on this board but passed wide 10 windward and in easy reach of about five miles gained lead of quite a quarter of a mile. or Cloch Point the challenger dropped her stays and thus finished the trial.

In his opinion she was the fastest boat anoat in today's weather and he looked nope fully to see her do equally well in heavier weather.

 Naturally the people of Vicksburg dic not accept with good grace the Missis' sippi's belated performance, so damaging to their material interests. They clam ored for a restoration of the old dayl when they dwelt near navigable water and when stately floating palaces touched at their wharves and trade fourished, They appealed to Congress for aid and the national lawmakers made an appro- pratton for constructing canal north- ward to the Yazoo river. This canal was recently completed and the water was let into the channel deserted by the Mis- sisslppi. The flow was abundant and filled the space from bank to bank, mak- ing VicksbuIS once more a river town. The event caused general rejoicing in the city, which has already begun to feel the good effects of renewed traffic.

BrTumrxous COAL ASSOCIATION.


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IA large num-
ber of bituminous coal operators shipping
to tidewater met here to-day and formed
an association to be known as the Bitumin-
Gus Coal Trade Association. 1t is said
the new organization represents about
seventy-five of the operators in the Clear
field, Cumberland. Meyersdale. Flat Top,
New River, Beech Creek and West vir-
ginia fields. l.. N. Lowell, of New York,
was elected president and NJ. s. Fleming,
at one time secretary of the Independent
Anthracite Coal Operators Association,
was made secretary. The object of the
new association is set forth in the pre-
amble of resolution adopted by the asso-
citation, which reads:
Whereas, Experience has shown that
the fluctuations of a speculative market in
bituminous coal are prejudicial to the in
terests of the consumers and producers of
such fuel and that the evil results of such
speculation may become so widespread as
to destroy economical conditions and thus
seriously effect the wages and prosperity
of the employees, consumers and producers,
and
whereas, Such fluctuations have i'm the
past been caused by the absence of accur-
ate knowledge of the rate of production
and of the stocks on hand, and in order
to prevent such serious conditions accur-
ate information must be had, so there
should at all times be present in the mar
ket an ample supply of coal for all its re-
Quirements, avoiding either a deficiency.
which may be used by spectators as an
excuse to advance prices, or great excess,
which, owing to the insufficiency of cars
and the demand of the railroads for their
immediate release, must be thrown upon
the market"
After organizing an executive committee,
which will be the governing body of the
association, was elected 1t Is composed
of operators of the various regions, as
follows: Clearfield, E. j. Berwynd, Rob-
ert Mitchell, George K. Scott and Colonel

that the association formed for the

The headquarters of the association will
