COAL DEPOSITS FOUND IN
ENGLAND BY AMERICAN
Enterprising Development of Recently
Acquired Property Leads to Dis
covery of Mineral Wealth
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Edwin Marshall
Fox, chairman of the Harvey Steel
company Of Great Britain, we'll
known member of the American colony
here, has struck a very valuable seam
of coal in property of 270O acres re-
Gently purchased by him in Stafford
shire. The property is situated about
ten miles from Stoke-on-Trent, close
to the Duke of Sutherland's famous
colleries. Interviewed at the Hyde
Park hotel by the World correspon-
dent, Mr.. Fox said;
"Geologists told me, and have be-
coal under this land. 1 began boring
in November, large number of ell
gineers and French experts carrying
out the operations. A few days ago l
received long telegram making the
gratifying announcement that at a
depth of 725 feet they had discovered a
very rich seam of good household coal,
four feet five inches in thickness Of
solid COAL The engineers had pre-
viously discovered three smaller seams
at shallower depths. and they intend
to go 1900 feet. and until they reach
that depth l cannot even approximate
ly estimate the value of the field, but
as far as we have gone the indications
are of very great Importance. The
engineers inform me the find has
caused considerable excitement in the
neighborhood. / am going to visit the
property when the engineers have IA
full detailed report of their operations
up to the present stage"
Mr.. Fox here showed your corre-
spondent specimens of the coal dis
covered at various depths. He intends
to take short trip to America in
about ten days. A somewhat similar
find was made on the Earl of Dud-
leys property in the next county q
couple of years ago, which yields $780,
900 year.

Have Much to Say
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Who are the
greatest takers in England?
The prime minister heads the list
at present. In parliament there are
only half a dozen other men who
have talked half as much as Mr.. Bal
four. According to the Premier Parii-
mentary Record and Review Mr.. Bal
four spoke 317 columns of Hansard
during last session, Mr.. Austen Cham
berlain 237, Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman 200, Mr.. Windham 1SO, and Mr..
Arnold Forster 169. Mr.. Lloyd
Georges record was 166 columns and
Gibson Bowles, nearly as talkative.
spoke four columns less Next in
order were Sir Charles Dixie and VIM
ston Churchill with 157 and 143 re-
spectively; Mr.. Lyttelton with 132.
Mr.. Asquith with 125, Mr.. Lough with
11O, and John Redmond with 1O9. No
body else spoke 100 columns of Han
sard in the house of commons. Even
Lord Hugh Cecil spoke only So,
There is only half as much talking
in the lords as in the house of COM
mons. Lord Lansdowne heads the list
with 166 columns, Earl Spencer being
second with 100. They are the only
two peers whose columns run into
three figures, Lord Salisbury and the
duke of Marlborough tying for third
place with so.
There are of course many members
of parlaments whose voices are never
heard in either house. Mr.. Tollo-
mache declared the other day that he
has not spoken once in twenty-four
years, and there are others whose
voices are so rarely heard that they
are hardly recognized.
Thirty-fve peers last session talked
to the extent of from one column To
one and three-quarters each. No
fewer than $50 members of the house
of commons spoke for less than half
an hour each during the whole ses-
sion.

EXCITING ADVENTURE OF
AFRICAN COTTON TRAIN
Oxen Attacked by Lions Rally to
Their Leader and Put Up
Gallant Fight
Special Cable to The Herald,

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON. Feb. 1S-Supplying the
Lancashire mills with cotton from
British Central Africa would seem from
the following incident, to be a task
of some difficulty. Four wagons from
Blantyre returning from Ukate, on the
shores of Lake Nyassa, after unloading
cotton there, camped at night in cot
ton clearing. During the night, says
a correspondent at Blantyre, four lions
stampeded the draught oxen and finally
surrounded an old bull at the head of a
gully. The bull fought fiercely, and by
it's bellowings brought back ten other
oxen to it's help. The native drivers,
finding themselves unable to drive off
the lions, went away for help.
The cattle boys were absent for about
three hours, and were amazed to find
on their return that the bull, though
terribly Iacerated. was still on it's feet
and lighting gamely to the last. Shortly
after their return the brave animal fell
dead. The natives succeeded. however,
in driving off the lions with fire brands
and old guns.
On the following evening Mr.. Fraser,
the agent of the African Lakes cor
poration, decided to sit up near the
scene of the conflict in the hope that
the lions would return to the carcass
of the dead bull. An attack of fever
had prevented him bringing help to
the natives the previous night. He
found 81 suitable tree near the spot;
he had only just settled himself in it
when four lions appeared and began to
devour the dead animal. Taking care
full aim, Mr.. Fraser killed one lion and
wounded two, which. however, made
their escape but were found dead in
the bush next morning. Thus Mr..
Fraser bagged three lions in a night.

special Cable TO rhe Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
| LONDON, Feb. 18-"England is now
| passing through wave of Puritanical
oppression with revival services and
the like, under which showmen will
sink into oblivion if they do not rise to
protect their own interests"
This was the solemn warming of Mr..
F. Bibby of Manchester to 300 members
of the Showmen and Vandwellers Pro-
lection association at their annual
meeting this week. Among the COM
pany were owners Of mammoth musi-
cal merry -go-rounds, worth thousands
of pounds, proprietors of fat women
and living skeletons, "Aunt Sallies"
and flying wonders" travelling men,
ageries and shooting saloons. 1t was
lamented that the past year had been
one of commercial depression, the
margin of spending money, never
very great quantity with the workers."
had been extremely small, especially in
Lancashire and some parts of York
shire. In spite of oppression, however,
the showmen were disposed to look on
the bright side of things and to take
lofty view of their occupation as enter
tainers.
Our shows" said Mr.. Bibby, "are
not given in gilded salons, with music
from France and Germany, but are in
tended for those who earn their liveli-
hood by the sweat of their brows in
mills and factories. We try to
brighten the lives of the toilers by Civ
ing them entertainment under the
great canopy of heaven. Many peo-
pie look down on showmen, but they
forget that the whole world is COM
posed of showmen. Mr.. Winston
Churchill, for instance, is political
Snowman"
1t was pointed out that merry-go-
rounds alone represent a business
worth 100000 pounds and that 10000
persons are engaged in Show work
in the British isles.

RAILWAY TICKETS SOLD
ON lMSTALLMENT PLAN
Scheme Adopted in England for Benz
eft of Those Working on Small
Gnla

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Railway season
tickets on the hire purchase system are
the latest novelty to attract an i'm
pecunious public. The Railway Sea-
som Ticket Weekly Payment society has
been formed in order to meet the grow
ing demand on the part of clerks,
typists and employees in city offices
generally for season tickets on an easy
pay payment system.
Many city clerks are not in posi-
ton to pay the full puchase money all
in a lump" explained the secretary
this week. "They are forced, there
fore, to incur the heavy expense of
paying daily fares and thus losing all
the advantages offered by the railway
companies In the way of cheap sea-
sons. The society advances to trust
worthy people the amount required for
a quarterly ticket, the holder of which
repays the society in thirteen weekly
installments. The rate charged is, of
course, in the aggregate a little higher
than the sum which would have to be
paid to the railway company but it
compares very fayorably with the
amount paid If the ticket is purchased
daily. A second-class season from
Liverpool street to Seven Kings, for
instance, obtained through the society
costs IS Cd per week, while the third

today. u hope all Americans visiting
London will come to the Savoy and see
what they think of Mr.. Hare and my
self in the piece.
"The production is to be on a large
scale. 1t involves great expense and
vast deal of hard work. The king is
played by Gilbert Hare, Nine, Du
Barry by me, Rochefort by Mr.. War;
ner, and there are good parts for
Robert Shaw and Miss Audrey Ford.
There will be a long cast and more
than one hundred 'supers.' The cos
tunes are not ready, so I have not yet
the photographs of myself in the char
acter.
I'VE are going to do our best to bring
back the popularity which the Savoy
enjoyed before the death of Sir Arthur
Sullivan, and I hope that we will sue

Mrs. Brown Potter displayed with
pride a pearl and enamel brooch given
her by the king and queen on the oc-
casion of her recent appearance at
Buckingham palace. The design shows
the crown with the initials of their
majesties intertwined.
