WASHING OF COAL.
Government is Making Experiment.
 With Machinery

With Machinery.
 Washington. June 14.--(Special.)- That the washing of coal will prove an Important factor in saving the adi- minishing supply of fuel resources of this country has already been demon- strnted by the technologic branch of the United States geological survey.
 It has been shown conclusively that the washing results In a reduction of the impurities. the ash and the sulphur in such quantities as to make a hith- erto worthless coal of much value to the consumers The lessening of these impurities, of course, increases the per centage of fixed carbon and volatile matter over the amounts present in raw coal From these tests 1t is evi- dent that millions of tons of coal now going to waste may be used and that other coal of low grade may be made much more valuable to the people.
 The washing of the coal has also proved a splendid aid in the cok ing of coal as the impurities often render them unfit for metallurgical purposes. IL was found that the washing of cer- tain eoals that had not previously made good coke so reduced the per centage of ash and sulphur as to make this fuel available for coke.
 ''The tests which are now being car ried on at Denver, Col, by the govern ment are a part of the general inquiry concerning the most economical man. ner of utilizing each type of coal test ed" said Joseph A. Holmes. chief of the technologic branch. '.By far the greatest part of the waste of the fuel resources is found in our methods of consuming coal Andrew Carnegie stated the situation at the recent meet ing of the Governors, when he said that of all the coal burned in the pow CT plants of the country. not more than from per cent to 10 per cent of the potential energy is actually used. the remaining 90 to 95 per cent being absorbed in rendering the smaller avail able in actual work This condition of affairs Is compelling the United States government to find greater efl- clsncy In the utilization of the coals end no more promising field has been found than in the washing of these coals before they are used"
 The results of the tests at the fuel plant show a reduction In ash of 20 to 60 per cent and a reduction of sulphur of 10 to 50 per cent One raw coal containing sos per cent of sulphur had, after washing. 2.47 per cent. The ash ln q raw coal containing 42.56 per cent Nas reduced by washing to 2s.s7 per

 First Firing commence.
 This Morning.

The great rifle shoot at the range near Montgomery where are to be selected the men who. will represent the State in the national rifle contest in Fort Perry. Ohio. will be commenced today and will last through six days.
 Representative teafns of several of the companies of the Alabama National Guard are already ercamped near the rifle range between Montgomery and Pickett Springs. Col. C. R. Bricken. commanding the End Regiment of In- fantry, is the comma nding officer of the camp. where about twenty five tents have been pitched. Captain Hunt Taylor is acting quartermaster of the camp.
 The teams which will shoot today represent thtrty-six companies of ifl- fantry and three companies of cavalry, and each is composed of three men. Additionally there are fourteen men from the state at large. The purpose of the contests Is admirable; 1t pro- vides selection of the best inarksmen in the militia of the State to represent the guard at the national shoots This was formerly not always true as in many instances there was no systematic selection of representatives. those go- ingeto the shoots who found 1t expedi- ent

 That the shoot will be a great suc- cess. everything indicates The of- ffcers in charge have made all prepara- tions and everything is now in readi- ness. The range itself is a splendid one and will afford every facility for the expedfent conduct of the contests.
 The camp has been thoroughly or ganized. Col. Bricken's first orders were to consummate strict enforce ment of discipline.
 No fntoxicants, no unseemly noise,'' was the purpose of the orders and they are being enforced with riEidity.
 The men are comfortably quartered and are being admirably cared for.
 The contestants in the shoot have been ordered to report by o'clock this morning and the shoot will begin soon afterwards.

AAC cP~1ACNB ANREtaH EUEtneE EeUr e of Japan.
 St Petersburg. June 14-Last night saw the conclusion of the debate on the Amur railroad bills in the Councll of the Empire
 Extended speeches were made bv Premier Stolypin, Count Witte,. Finance Minister Kokovosoft and others. The Premier, who maintained that Eastern Siberia, an Integral part of the Elm pire. and now easy booty for the other nations, must be- defended. closed his speech with the announcement that tho government would regard the reject ion of the bill as mark of complete lack of confidence.
 M. Kokovosoff analysed the financial aspects of the construction of the pro- posed line. He said the government never would have advocated the meas ure if 1t had not been convinced that Russian finances fully admitted the building of the road
 His. speech was largely In answer to arguments made by Count Wftte, who, when his turn came, practically re- peated his discourse of May Is, in which he alleged that the construction of the road would throw an unbear- ahle strain on Russian finances.
 M, Michael Stakoyitch, the well known Liberal. also opposed bill. de- claring that it was crime to spend money on this project while the peas antry of Russia were starving and while the schools of the Empire were neglected.
 One of the most striking speeches was delivered by General Sukhotin, O bluff soldier who. was relieved of his duties as Director of the Academy of the General Stan for speaking his mind too forcibly to the Emperor, after which incident he was made Governor of Tomsk
 General Sukhotin defended the ne- cessity of an all Russian route to Vlad- fvostok. He argued that the Japanese Empire was still in the formative pe- riod of history and its boundaries were unsettled. and he declared roundly that another attack by Japan could be expected at any time.

Urre Hl4ehcocIx,n Selection l.

Chicago, June 14.--Letters urKtuG Secretary Taft to appoint Frank H. Hitchcock as manager of his campaign for election, in the event of his nonli- nation for the presidency by the Re publican convention, were mailed today by more than. half of the members of the National Committee.
 The expressions favorable to the ,se- lection of Mir. Hitchcock were made in response to an intimatfon from ceptable on the question of selecting as Chairman for the next National Committee and most of the letters had been mailed before Mfr. Hitchcock was apprised of the action taken by his friends. When told tonight of the let ters sent to Mfr. Taft. Mir Hitchcock said:
 T regret very much my friends have seen it to take such action at this time. It has been my opinion all along that the question of selecting a manager for the campaign could well wait un- til after a nomination for the PresI- dency has been made by the conyen- tion.r s
 That there is opposition to the ap- pointment of Mir. Hitchcock as Chair man of the National Committee is con- ceded by that gentleman's friends. The selection has been thought to rest be- tween Mir. Hitchcock. Arthur L. verys who has been identified with Mir. Taft's campaign ever since he first announced his candidacy. Before deciding to send letters to. Secretary Taft urging the selection of Mir. Hitchcock as his choice for the chairmanehip, members of the Committee who were favorable to the election of Mfr. Hitchcock as Chairman, had conference. First 1t was pro- posed that the members again join in an appeal to the Secretary in behalf of Mir Hitchcock. This plan was opposed for the reason that 1t seemed to be cock, as expressed by him when he upset such a plan several days ago. It was suggested that members indi- widually send letters to Secretary Taft. each reciting the reasons that -partfc- ularIy appealed to him for the seIec- ton of MT. Hitchcock. This plan was adopted.
