MISSOURI Is BEST WARsHIP.
Battleship Wins Ocean Race with
Kentucky, Maine and Kearsarge.

In a great race to New York of the
battleships Maine, Missouri, Kearsarge
and Kentucky, which left Guantanamo
at p. m. last Saturday. under command
of Admiral Evans, the Missouri was the
victor. The men on board the big fight
ing ships have wagered all their money
on the result. AT a. IN. Sunday the
signal for the start was made from the
Maine, and for two hours the battleships
steamed under ordinary draft. the Maine
finally 1,2OO yards in the lead. From 10
a. m. until 2 p. m. the Missouri overlook
the Maine and led her by 1,500 yards,
when the test under forced draft ended.
Officers of the feet all admit. that the
Missouri will probably carry the honors
for target practice and speed tests. The
Missouri, commanded by Capt. Edwin G..
Pendleton, has the highest average in
great gun and torpedo practice, it is said.
and unless the Ohio's average exceeds
that of the Missouri, the latter ship will
capture the trophy now held by the Ore
gon. Her 12-inch gun record is thirty
seven hits in thirty-seven shots, and she
also has record of twelve hits in twelve
shots with her torpedoes.

ANTHRACITE TONNAGE HEAVY
Production In Year 1905 Was So
33O,162 Tons.

According to a preliminary report on
the production of anthracite in 1908,
made public by the United States geo.
logical survey, the tonnage during that
year was 1899, 152 long tons, with a
value of S141, S79, 900, the largest in the
history of the industry. The official ex-
PLANTATION of this is that it partly Ia due
to the experience of the trade in the
preceding severe winter and partly by
the fear of impending trouble In the an
thracite region, which caused both deal
ers and consumers to lay In heavier
stocks. The average price of anthracite
ton was $2.25, the average number OF
men employed in the mines was 165, 4O6
and the average days worked 215. An
increase in the shipment of the smaller
sizes of coal is noted. The disastrous
effect of strikes on the trade Is shown In
the record for 1902, when the production
of anthracite was only 39,940,71 long
tons, worth $76,173,5S6. The average
price of coal ton in that year was
$2-3j, the average number Of men en-
ployed was 14S, 141 and the average num-
Der of days worked was only 116.
