AFTER RUssIA,s COAL SUPPLY.

A London dispatch says that about forty
steamers laden with Welsh steam coal for
the use of Russian warships are now at sea
on the way to the far East, their daily
progress being noted by the japanese with
a view to capturing them as soon as they
arrive in Eastern waters. Their destination
is Port Arthur. but it is doubtful if they
will ever make it,
The steamers British, and the seizure
of their cargoes by Japan could only be
justified on the ground that coal is con-
traband of war. In the old days of wooden
ships there would have been no ground
for so declaring it, but the introduction of
modern warships has made coal an i'm
portant factor in warfare The rule of in
ternational law is that all articles suscepti-
BILE OF military use and destined to bellig-
erent port are contraband of war and may
be seized by one of the parties to a war,
even on neutral vessels.
The necessity of large and steady sup
plies of coal in modern warfare has created
a sort of scramble among the powers for
naval and coaling stations. 1t was recog-
the recent Spanish-American war that her
opportunities of obtaining coal in this
hemisphere were poor, to say the least. A
strict observance of neutrality laws would
not permit neutral power to furnish coal
TO either of two belligerents. In our war
with Spain all collectors at Canadian ports
were ordered not TO clear any vessel loaded
with coal for foreign ports without first
submitting the facts to the proper author
tiles at Ottawa and receiving their official
sanction. Admiral Cervera's fleet was from
April 20 to May 10 lodging its way from
the Cape Verde islands TO Santiago with
out coalng. If it had succeeded i'm escap-
ing from Santiago when it made its bold
dash on July 3 it could not have gone far
in any direction without supply of coal
Napoleon said IAN army travels on its
belly" 1t might more truly be said that
a modern navy travels and fights on its
coal lockers.
Recent additions to American possessions
have given the United States coaling sta
tons of its own in all quarters of the world
where it is likely ever TO need them Uncle
Sam need never worry over coal being de-
clared contraband of war, for he will al
ways have a supply on hand where it is
needed. Russia is at a disadvantage in
her far Eastern operations in having TO
bring coal from Wales while the sea is
alive with Japanese cruisers

LEGISLATURE TO TRY
ADJT. GEN. RIGGS

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb. 10.-A resolution
directing Brigadier General Riggs, Of the
Maryland State Guard, to be summoned by
the sergeant-at-arms to the bar of the
House Of Delegates tomorrow to answer
the charge of having exceeded his authority
in canceling all passes issued to all persons
who wish to go within the fire lines in Balti-
more was introduced to-day.
Speeches denouncing General Riggs i'm un-
measured terms were made by several men,
bers of the House, each of which was re-
ceived with enthusiasm. The resolution was
passed by a large majority and the vote
was cheered by the members. In the SEN
ate to-day bill recommending that the
Legislature authorize the Governor to ap-
point a commission of four, headed by Ber-
nard Carter, to transact all further business
passed. An enabling act to empower the
mayor and City Council of Baltimore to
borrow temporarily 100000 to meet the
emergency of the fire was referred to the
city senator's, who Immediately reported
favorably and the bin was passed. Under
suspension of rules it was stated that it
was the wish of Governor Warfeld and
Mayor McLane that the federal troops be
called back TO Baltimore. Accordingly a
joint resolution asking the President To in
struct the secretary of war to send such
trops as are needed was passed. 1t is under
stood that Governor Warfeld will ask the
President for Loco soldiers.
Delegate Robert Wells, of Prince George
county, to-day introduced a bill in the
House to appropriate $250000 for the aid of
the Baltimore fire sufferers.

CLASH BETWEEN STATE
TROOPS And REGULARS

PITTSBURG, Feb. 10.-The Baltimore cor
respondent of the Dispatch says There
were two other important phases to the big
Baltimore fire Tuesday. One was the clash
between the militia and United States
troops, and the other an effort TO get down
to loss and insurance figures Major Gen
eral COrbin who arrived with his staff Mon
day night to take charge of LOCO regulars
ordered here by the President upon the sug-
gestion Of Senator German, who was so re-
quested by Governor Warfeld has left the
city in disgust, with his staff, and the United
States troops were ordered back TO quarters.
This is said to be due to the fact that
Adjutant General Riggs did not like the
idea of being superseded chief in COM
mand. The military now on guard COM
prises the First Maryland Regiment which
consists of various companies from the
county, and their efforts as guards have
created no end of trouble. The men are dis
orderly. and one of them went so far as to
strike a letter carrier over the head with a
musket because the former refused 10 move
from the courthouse pavement Collector Of
Port Stone was refused admission through
the lines and only succeeded in reaching
the custom house when conveyed by a file
of regulars from Fort McHenry."
