Lord SeIb0rme's Plea for Defences
II gainst Russian Empire.

London, Nov. 14.-Lord Selbornes First Lord
of the Admiralty speaking at Bristol tonight
and referring to Russia's having granted Great
Britain's just demands. said the crisis just ex-
perienced was occasion for the country to
take stock of its defensive organization, and in
dealing with this question it was impossible to
ignore the rapid march of the Russian Empire
toward the Indian frontier.
1t was useless Lord Selborne said for busi-
ness nation dealing with its liabilities to mince
matters. Instead Of vast tract of impossible
country separating the two empires. Russia had
two railways terminating at the Afghanstan
frontier, only matter of four hundred miles
from the Indian railway.
He hoped there never would be war between
the two countries, but BritOns were bound to
consider what the Russian military organiza-
tions had succeeded in achieving in Manchuria
at the end of six thousand miles of single track
railway line, and to govern British military
preparations in India accordingly.

December. and decided upon at a recent
meeting of the Coal Merchants Association The
increase will apply to the broken. egg, stove and
nut sizes, and will make the price SO 80 a ton.
The decision TO make the increase was de-
cided upon by the retailers only after long and
tedious discussion, In which the dealers told of
the losses they had experienced last win
ter owing to the heavy storms and severe
weather. making it almost impossible to deliver
coal.
The larger dealers had difficulty In filing their
contracts with the hotels, apartment houses and
other large consumers, and found it nearly i'm
possible 10 keep up with their smaller and in
dividual orders.
To keep their patrons supplied with fuel the
dealers frequently found it necessary 10 use
four horses on q single ton wagon, and engage
two men TO do the work that In ordinary times
is done by one man. All this extra expense had
