Welsh Coal in Foreign Markets.

According to the London Times,
Welsh steam coal is in great demand
both at home and abroad. The Times
says:
Welsh coal is used principally for
naval and manufacturing purposes. It's
superior calorific power, combiner with
its weathering capabilities, have CIV
en- it a peculiar advantage over other
Goals for the use of mercantile steam
ships, and it is mainly in virtue of
this advantage that the steam coal of
South Wales has now for about 25
years occupied its unique position at
the various coaling depots along the
trade routes of the world. Last year
the quantity of coal exported from
Cardiff was 14,92O,610 tons, and from
all the South Wales ports over 2l.-
600, 900 tons, Or just half the total coal
export trade of the whole of the coun-
try. In France and Italy the railways
as well as the steamship lines are
large consumers, but the following fig
ures will give an idea of the extent
TO which Cardiff coal is shipped to the
depots where mercantile steamships
and war ships call in order to refill
their bunkers.
The nearest and by far the greatest
market is in the Mediterranean, and
the following were the exports from
Cardiff in 1904 to some of the ports
on the French. Italian, and Egyptian
coasts: Alexandria, sos, 900 tons; BOr-
deaux, 285,000 tons; ConstantinOple,
10000 tons; Genoa, $4,000 tons; Glib
rsltar, 1926 tons; Marseille, 331 .157
tons; Malta, 342,146 tons; and Port
Said, 1,114,0S6 tons. To Madeira and
the Canary islands the exports amount
ed to over 100000 tons: to Alden. 1877
900 tons; to Cape Town, 1900 tons;
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1905-11-17

to Colombo 100000 tons; to the Phil
ippines, $1,000 tons; to Hongkong.
5S2.596 tons; to Singapore, $4,000
tons: to Shanghai, 1000 tons; and
over 100000 tons went to Uruguay
and the Argentine Republic. Other
depots might have been mentioned,
but these figures, though in a few
cases of an exceptional character, suf-
fee to show how largely supplied is
the worlds mercantile marine with
the "black diamonds of the South
Wales coal field, and incidentally to
explain how it is that Cardiff clears
more tonnage for foreign trade than
any other port in the world.

NEW MONEY ORDERS.
Pcstoffice Department Makes Change
in the Form.

The local postoffice has been mott
fed that the department has adopted
new form of money orders, and Post
master Pfaus has received a sample
of the new form, in which there are
several changes from the one now in
use. The use of the new form at
the LewistOwn office will not begin
however, until the supply Of old form
orders now on hand is used up which
will be some time.
On the left hand side of the new
order is a column of figures commenc.
ing at 81 and running in fives to 800.
The clerk at the issuing Office will
humber next higher than the amount
fol- which the order is issued. This
change in itself is an important one,
as it will prevent the raising of the
amount indicated in the column of fig.
ures. With the old orders the fig
ures could be erased and others sub.
stituted. Even if an order of this sort
could not be cashed at a postoffice, it
might be passed on an unsuspecting
merchant
Another radical change in the order
is that the address of the person to
whom the order is made out is to be
placed on the order as we'll as his
name On the Old orders the name OF
the remitter did not appear, but this
will be included on the new orders.
The time required for the issuance
of these orders will be considerable
IL. excess of the time which was re-
quired on the old orders. The prin
cipal reason for the change in the
form of the order is that in instances
the amounts of the old orders were
raised. Under the new system where
difference in the figures and the
amount written on the face of the or
der is discovered the smaller amount
will be paid. This has always been
the rule of the department, however
A new form of application is to be
issued in conjunction with the new
orders. The form will be along the
same lines as the order, the column
of figures appearing on the applica
ton to be torn off to correspond with
the amount of the order requested.

TaylOr's Reply.

Gov. Taylor was asked the same
questions and replied as follows:
Exercising the right of citizen of
Tennessee, | am a candidate for the
United State Senate, unhampered by
combinations and entangling alliances
with any other candidate or candidates
and relying alone upon the support Of
a majority of my fellow citizens in the
party.
81 wish to say once for all that will
not be drawn by Mr.. Carmack and his
friends into disgusting wrangle upon
theiquestiou of date and terms of sem
atorial primary, nor upon any other
question. I have, in good faith, sub
mitted my views on this subject, actu-
ated by my desire to promote the peace
and harmony of the democratic party
in Tennessee. The senator has reject
ed my proposition to take the question
before the present democratic executive
committee of the state for settlement,
on the ground that he is not ready for
trial, and moves for a continuance Of
the case until next NoAember year.
Having made this proposition and Mr..
Carmack having answered, mot ready
I deem further negotiations with him
impossible, and further agitation of
the question with reference to the time
and terms of the primary as contrary
to the best interests of the democracy.
] therefore say to my friends that while
| still believe that primary early in
December next would eliminate combi-
nations and the possibility of machine
methods, yet l do not regard a Deem
Der date or any other particular date as
essential to my success, provided the
people and not the machine shall con-
troll the primary. In view OF this stu
alton the question must necessarily
pass for consideration to the next state
democratic convention, or to the exec
utive committee to be created by that
convention. This leaves the matter at
last In the hands of the people, who
must create that convention and
through it a new executive committee.
81 still rest my cause with them, in
the firm belief that they will crush ev-
cry effort and explode every scheme to
rob them of the right to say who shall
be their senator nominated by their
ballots in q primary election"

TAYLOR AGREES
TO LATE PRIMARY
Carmack Says He Has No
Entangling Alliances

Nashville, Tenn, July Ex-senator
Oarmack, in discussing his candidacy
with a reporter recently, said he was
conducting his campsign for reelection
with absolutely no entangling alliances
and that he did not in tend to enter in
to any such alliance.
The queries made by the reporter
and the senator's answers are here CIV
en-:
"There has been some publication
to the effect that there is combina-
ton between you and Gov. Cox on the
one hand, and Gov. Taylor and Mr.,
Washington on the other-have you
any such combination with Gov. Cox"
Absolutely none" replied the Sen
ator.
els there any understanding be-
tween you and Gov. Cox, or between
your friends and his friends in this
campaign?"
"None whatever. Gov. Cox and Mr..
Washington are making their own
fight and 1 am making mine. My
friends have received no request from
me to support or oppose any man for
governor.
care you making any effort to defeat
the nomination of Mr.. Washington?"
"None. l am attending to my own
business.
"Do you believe that Mr.. Washing
ton is making any effort to defeat your
election to the senator"
81 do not"
"What are your relations with Mr.
Washington-friendly or otherwise?'
"They have always been and are
now friendly and cordial"
