PUBLIC NOW FLYING
FRENCH AIRSHIP ALMOST /
COMMON CARRIER.

BERLIN, September 14.-Maj. Parsevals S
diriSible balloon was virtually placed at the
disposal of the public today at Tegel, near
here, by the company which constructed
1t, in order that experimental voyages may
be made to show the progress reached in
the building of a1rshps. About dozen
ascents were made successfully during the
day. Each time the airship carried one
passenger, in addition to the aeronaut in
charge and the engineers. Minister of War
Won Einem and other leading military off,
GERS and ministers enjoyed voyages in the
air during which every possible maneuver
was carried out with precision There was
almost no wind blowing.
Maj. Parseval and his colleague Capt
Won kehler, in conversing on the subject
of the airship, said that more powerful mo-
tors We're necessary, the maximum power
of the present engines being not sufficient
to drive the airship against fairly strong
wind. New motors are under construction

No Trouble in Getting Coal.

If coal mining companies have decided not
to present bids for the contract of fur
nishing coal to take the Atlantic fleet to
the Pacific coast, this purpose Of the COM
panies has not been communicated to Sec
retary MetcaIf, according to statement
he made today. The Secretary said that
the department will have no difficulty in
getting all of the coal desired and he be-
lieved that If 1t is necessary to go to Eng
land for it the price will be less than would
have to be paid in the United States.
Admiral Cowles, the chief Of the bureau
Of equipment says he has no doubt that
the Navy Department will obtain all the
coal needed for the fleet. Some of this al
ready is pledged by the companies through
which the usual supply is obtained. The
department prefers that the fuel furnished
be the American product, to be shipped in
American bottoms. but. If necessary, will
resort, thaugh with regret. to the use of
Welsh coal, transported in foreign ships, if
the prices submitted by American dealers
are regarded as practically prohibitive.

METCALF TO STAY.
Declares Report of His Intention to
Resign Is Unfounded.

AS indicated In The Stars columns here
tofore, there is apparently no foundation
for the report which has been extensively
circulated that Secretary Metcalf contem-
plates retiring from President Roosevelt's
cabinet The Secretary has put the quetus
on that story by his own declaration, made
on his return from California that there Is
nothing to the story. The Secretary was
ayerse to talking about the matter, but he
was emphatic in making the statement that
the reports of his resignation were not
founded on fact.
In some circles there is a general belief
that Mr. Metcalf will not continue with
President Roosevelt during the whole of the
administration. However this may be, the
fact that he does not contemplate resigning
in the Immediate future appears TO be set
tied by his statements yesterday.
Secretary Metcalf has indicated that he
did not make the announcement at Oak
land, Cal, about the Atlantic battleship
feet going to the Pacinc without having
had an explicit understanding with the
President about it.

HoLD-UP BY COAL TRUST.
Navy Department Notified Its Orders
Cannot Be Filled.

NEW YORK, September 14.-The situa-
ton with regards to the proposals issued
by the bureau of equipment of the Navy
Department for supplying coal for the bat
tleship fleet on its voyage to the Pacific,
says the Journal of Commerce, has as
sumed rather Interesting shape here by the
statements of several agents of the larger
coal mining concerns that they would not
present bids. Their reasons are that they
have not the necessary quantity of coal
on hand, aside from the quantity demanded
by private contracts already entered into.
The companies claim that they have no
reserve stocks on hand amounting to any
thing, and that the labor situation is such
that they cannot increase their mining
capacity.
The coal, 1t was stated, can be obtained
in England If it is necessary to go there,
but the prices will undoubtedly be what
might be classed as fancy.

RIOTP BETTER NOT!
Chief of Seattle Police Seems to Mean
It Too,

PORTLAND, Greg, September IA dis
patch to the Oregonian from Seattle says:
Japanese Consul Shimadzu has appealed
to Chief of Police Wappenstern to prevent
the Exclusion League from holding any
kind of u demonstration that might lead
to melting an irresponsible element and
causing race riots In Seattle. A similar de-
mand upon the police chief has been made
by some of the newspapers, and Chief
Wappenstern assured the japanese consul
that whatever happened. he would guaran
tee that the Asiatic quarters are not in
vaded by a mob.
the Japanese consul declared that his
countrymen are not arming themselves to
resist an attack, and he insisted the Japa-
nese would do nothing to incite trouble and
relied wholly the police for their pro-
lection. Efforts of the Exclusion League
to compel the chief OF police TO disarm the
Japanese and Chinese will not have any
effect upon the orentals. They viii pay
no more attention to storage of arms in
foreigners homes than he will In Ameri-
can homes. but he will arrest any person,
native or foreign, who is found to be carry

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, September 14-The Tightening
of the purse strings of the big labor unions
of Chicago threatens to bring the telegraph
strike TO a sudden termination. despite the
fact that the ranks of the strikers are still
practically intact. and the telegraph COM
panies are as badly crippled as they were
at the beginning of the trouble.

stronger labor unions, such as those of the
teamsters and street car men, have made
no contributions to the strike fund, while
others with thousands of dollars in their
treasures have dismissed the operators with
promises to pay such small sums as SO
and $50 weekly for their relief.
The union leaders confess they are closely
pressed for funds They assert that they
have enough money to meet immediate de-
mands. but are doubtful as TO ..Ie future.

The plant has bought twenty-five

field, which they bring here in
barges at a considerable saving in
the cost. The plant owns its barge
which will soon be equipped with
a gasoline engine and stern wheel
aud will carry their own oil from
the Breaux Bridge pipe line to the
plant. The first load carried one
hundred and fifty barrels, but
Chief Engineer Thomas says the
barge can carry two hundred and
fifty barrels. and when the boat is
completed will be able to make
one trip a day. This arrangement
will prove great saving. to the
plant, and will relieve 1t of the ir-
