CIVILISATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF COAL. BY MABON, M.P. ^boat the middle of the present century a cer- 11 philosopher declared that the civilisation of country was directly proportionate to its con- J^ption of coal. Few people nowadays would J6 billing to pin their faith to such a doctrine, Bering as it is to oar own country. The tables the annual production and cousamption of in the chief countries of the world during the 18 years which have recently been published t the Board of Trade tell us that we still lead World in the production of coal, though the t'ited States run us very close indeed. n 1899 we raised 220 million tons, and the States of America something over 218 *illion tons. Third nlace was taken by Germany ?^ just over a hundred million tons, while **&ce and Belgium turned out only 54 million them. However, it is not in itself that ^°al is an index but in its use. The country which llilID.es the largest quantity of coal may safely laid to be do, ug the mogt work. And in this Pect we must yield the palm to our American who consumed 193 million tons of coal their own use and purposes in 1898, whereas ..e' ln this country cou^d only find employment for > millions, and soid the rest of the output to favoured countries. „ W t: haAe lately listened to a great deal of poli- ■ .^pessimism, inspired doubtless by the con- j^D'ation of the 48 millions of coal we exported j l898. It is suggested that this kind of commerce slow bleeding of power," and that we may t ^tidently expect to see the ghost of our coal t0 Q3 jn shape of hostile battleships ^eath-dealing guns, It H nothing mora than j ^incidence, perhaps, that the same people who na for exporting coal find fault with us J/? for importing wheat. There Haem* to me 6 a lack of logic in the assertion that we liable to lose our place among tbe nations ioth by over- and uii der-prod action in the one Y over- a by raising too much coal, and on the 1&k ^y grovvicq too little wheat. It i& some- consoling to read iu Sir Coartenay B jyle's ^toeut that if we cannot grow our own fooa stand alone amoug the nations of the world in » Wat digging every ton of our own fuel. jt is not the most easy thing to see J i those who say that coal ought not be exported at «J1 from these islands defend their cs.sa. Their view ia at least a iv Ve! one. A glancc at the statistics recently ^'s>aed shows how thy export of British coal Readily risen from 2C million tons in 1883 to ^ilhou tons in 1899. That is to say, we now the world with the motive power for oue-third of the amount of work which is ^iy done in our own islands, where other <Je°ltfca eDergy than coal are at present a l^iisjable quantity. It does cot seem to me to (j, 'be most handsome attitude to maintain j, Hf4' We ought to deprive the outer world b this a.moant of help in its toil because toJ11'1? happen that some fraction of the that we export may be used to manufacture Ilk,-?1""18 or navigate vessels that may one day be against u*. To call ihe coal exporter an- W)0tic, aa has been the case of late iu some *(, ^r3, on this cround is surely fanatical. What tajjt tha ships that have been and are being in this country which can be used against loin '-tiia policy is once commenced, where is it to end ? And if any argument can be Against the exportation of coal Because it be used abroad in manufacturing weapons L" could be used against u*, what about export- weapons and vessels that have kjv11 manufactured and built in this (i^Wom and could any day, when ^BjSary, bt used against us ? It becomes absurd ^Hfckbgard to coal itself when we notice that Spain, B3lgiumv and the Scandinavian Ite a tties are far more dependent on the coal that 4t, ell than the Great Powers against whom we Solemnly warned. OTHER FORMS OF FUEL, .inhere is only one reason upon which a general Action to the export of coal could be baBed. |e supply of cDal is limited, and as long as it t'llraitteci that a nation has a right to adopt jfish courses that are denied to individuals, it clear that we might forbid tbe sale of t-^ecious a commodity. Still, the trend of Dj.^t discoveries is fast knocking the bottom out fct argument. Coal doubtless is a very con- L. and economical reservoir of energy, but time it is known that there are many I0 *rs in reserve. It is no idle dream now to t^le t'8,y t^je coa^ niins will be auper- the waterfall, tlje windmill, and the Ieservoir. Wo can look forward now with °s^ equanimity to the exha,nation of the coal ^k»Sllles when it comea, but long before that f(w place mankind will have harnessed other to do the work of daily life. It may console generations—the exhaustion of our coal "Ml is not R°iu^ t0 trouble the present—that b^Sittioij i3 not solely bounded by factories nor eatirely on steam engines. J BATTLE OF THE BACES.

Cambrics, Satnrday,-When play ceased on Friday the University ha,d completed an innings for 215, and Surrey had made 45 for one wicket. Dull and thre.itemug weather prevailed when the game was resumed to-day at 11.15, Hayward t20) and Brock- well continuing the county innings to the bowling of Driffield and Dowson. Brockwell made 12 in four overs, when he got under a ball and skied it to slip. Crawford followed in, but when 25 was had in the slips for 38. With Crawfnrd and Abel together Wilson relieved Driuseld at one hundred and five. Then Abel cut Dow son prettily to the boundary. Johnson went on for Dowson, to be immediatly cut to the boundary by Crawford, but Abel when 16 was nearly caught by the fresh bowler. The score rose steadily until 140 was reached, when Scott ana Hma were entrusted with the bowling, but- 71 had already been added since the fall of Hayward's wielcet.. Two runs later Abc! was captured in the slips. With three added Yiees was caught at the wicket. Jepn- bon aided Crawfnrd to add 20. Crawford, who stood, one hour and fifty minutes, hit 4 fours.

Surrey were 93 runs behind on the first innings. Vcwson took six wickets for 79 runs. Shortly before 3 o'clock Cambridge entered on their second innings with Daniel and StannÍDg to the bowling of Jeplison and Itichardsou.

LEICESTERSHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. KAKD LINES FOR TOUGHER. Leicester, Saturday.—When play commenced yes- terday Yorkshire had scored 136 for four wickets, and were within 26 of their opponents' total. Some rain fell early this morning, but the game was resumed at the usual time before a small attendance. Pougher and Woodcock bowled, and with three runs added the former got Hirst caught in the slips. Hirst was at the wickets for an hour and 20 minutes. Smith, who came next, was also caught in the slips, and six wickets were down for 144. Washington was brilliantly caught at 151, but Haish andHawke made a useful stand. Leicester's total was parsed with three wickets in hand. Haigh left at 181. With Rhodes in 200 was reachcll in 31 hours, After batting 75 minutes Hawke was dismissed, and the ■ Yorksliiie innings closed at 1.35 for 241-79 on.

Yorkshire wero only set 15 to win, and these were quickly obtained, the visitors winning by 10 wickets. The match was for the benefit of rougher, and it was exceedingly hard lines for the popular pro that rain seriously interfered with play on both Thursday and Friday, thus militating greatly against the atten- dance.

WARWICKSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. CENTURIES BY ROBSON AND SPROTT. Birmingham, Saturday.—In a minority of exactly a. hundred, and with two wickets in hand, Warwick- shire resumed their first innines at Edgbaston. The weather was dull, and drizzly rain fell at times. Quaife and Santall continued their valuable stand, but in half an hour Santall was caught off Soar with the total at 189. Field, the last man in, hit vigor- ously and sneedily brought up 200. He scored 14 off Denton in one over, bringing Baldwin on. A separation was effected by Soar, who bowled Field,tbe innings realising 214, or48short of Hampshire's total. Bainbridge t'ied n. double change of bowling, Santall and Quaife going on. The score mounted rapidly, tho pitch giving the bowlers no help. Quaife reduced the rate of scoring, but San- ta!l had no success, and gave way to Kinneir, The pair were together at lunch. After lunch llobson and Sprott tidde(I 50 in less than half ail hour. Field then took the ball from: Kiraeir. Ten runs were hit off the first over he sent down. Quaife was alsopuuished. The weather continued dull and the attendance only numbered a little oyer 1,000. After two lioi,,rs' vigorouq play Robson reached his century, this being the first he has made. in first- class cricket. He had been missed when 48. Directly afterwards he was taken at the wicket, and with two added Newton "a ran out. The game slowed down as Sprott approached his hundred. When 90 he put up a ball to mid-on, but Field dropped it. At 4.30 he passed his century with a huge drive, and tlr; innines was then declared closed.

It was five minutes after that time when Bromley-Martin and Wilkes came out to continue Worcestershire's second inniugs, the position of the game being that Worcestershire, with nine wickets in hand, were 62 in arrears. Four runs were slowly added, and then Wilkes was caught atslip. The score bad only reached 14 when Arnold was caught off a ball he apparently tried to avoid playing.

ESSEX v. LANCASHIRE. FURTHER PROCEEDINGS ABANDONED. Manchester, Sattirdav.-A lot of rain fell in Man- chester last night, and this morning, though not so heavy, the downnfall was continuous. Soon after 12 it was decided that even should the rain cease cricket would be impossible before lunch. As the game was left yesterday, Lancashire, with three wickets to fall, were 113 behind, their score standing at 257 for seven wickets. As the rain came on more heavily and there was no prospect of any improve- ment in the weather, it wa.s decided at fivc minutes to 1 to give up all idea of proceeding with the game and it was abandoned asa draw Scores 1st Innings.

CARDIFF v. SWANSEA. Cardiff, Saturday.—There was a fairly large attend- ance at the Cardiff Arms P30l'k in anticipation of see- ing a canital match between Swan sea. and Cardiff. The visitors brought up their strongest possible side, and as they have beaten Lampeter College, Usk, Newport, and Llanellv successively, a big improve- ment was necessary in the home batting to ensure Cardiff making even a. creditable draw. It had rained heavily during the night, and a shower prevented a start until 1 o'clock. Though it was a hitter's wicket the Cardiffians, who took the chance of first knock, showed surprisingly poor defence. They started badly, Barry, a recruit who has been scoring consis- tently, being run out. Bv lunch time six wickets were down for 90, and Cadogan 13, who was helping Brain (32) to make a stand, was lucky in being let off by Bancroft on the boundary a few minutes before the interval. Up to the adjournment the bowlers (CreVier and Dr. Cameron) had shown really good form, the amateur's analysis reading fonr for 40, but the sticks had not been hit by either. Cadogan had added but one to his score and the total stood at 96 when he was dismissed: by a catch by Dr. Reid at covar-point. The next batsman was George Robey, the popular comedian, but after shapinc promisingly he, too, was caught by Dr. Reid. D. Mullens followed ill, but soon retired throngh smart stumping by Thissen-9 for 107. On j Brain being joined by the elder Lowe the pair iiindertms quicker than at any stage of the game, and with the total stand- ing at 130 Willfroose took a tarn at Creber's end. With a strong son the wicket had become consider- ably eaaier since luncheon. Lowe remained steadily plodding away, taking every possible care,yet making a few runs the while. Brain-maldug none of the tame strokes which had marred the earlier portion of his inuings--was scoring rapidly and all round the wicket. At 150 A. W. Samuel took the ball from Dr. Cameron, but the batsmen were well set. W. H. wanted but eight to pat on his first century for Cardiff this season when Creber resumed bowling and Bancroft was tried in place of Samuel. The score was now 175, and the tenth wicket had completely altered the prospect of the game, which when they became associated looked like ending in an easy victory for Swansea. Lowe seemed like stopniug for a week when Brain was almost taken at mid-on, and a few biU's afterwards the innings closed. Bancroft, with a particularly smart throw in from mid-wicket knocking off Lowe's baüs. Both bats- men wore cheered on returning to the pavilion. To win Swansea needed to make 185 in 130minutes. Considering the baking wicket was an uncertain factor, this was a practically impossible task for them, fast scorers 1I,r; many of the side are, as was evidcuccd a week ago when 135 was run up in about 50 minutes. E. W. Jones and Dr. Reid opened the innings, but with seven up Dr. Reid had the mis- fortune to play Mullens on to his wicket, the ball rising from the shoulder of his bat and reboundng off his chest. Dr. Cameron then joined Jones. E. W. Jones, playing as well as ever, had knocked up 44 in quick time when he was taken behind the wicket by W. H. Brain. His successors did not give much trouble, and half the wickets were down for 82 rnns. It wanted 40 minntes to half-past six, the agreed-upon time for drawing wickets. Victory for Swansea had for a long time past been utterly impossible, and evidently with the hope of staving off a draw the bowling and field- ing of tho CardifSans greatly improved. Bancroft nrd Thissen thoroughly mastered the bowling, and remained together until wickets were drawn at 6.15. Time thus saved Cardiff from almost certain defeat, as Swansea bal put on 169 for six wickets. Bancroft's patience was a feature of the innings, and the defence of this versatile athlete with the veteran Thissen was as noteworthy as had been the victory of W. H. Brain and Lowe t S.) over the, bowline. Bancroft wculd have been out to Lowe (S.) had George Robey made a very easy catch. Lowe (R.) had a couple of overs at the finish, and determi- nation seems to have been made to bowl him for Glamorgan T. Northamptonshire at Cardiff on Friday and Saturday next.

SWANSEA INTERMEDIATE AND TECHNICAL SCHEME. A GOVERNOR'S COMPLAINT. The minutes of the gvernors appointed under the scheme for intermediate and technical education for the inhabitants of Swansea, which will be dealt with at to-day's meeting, contain a. letter which Mr C. H. Glascodine, one of the members, has sent to the Board of Education complaining that though Clause 22 of the scheme requires the governors to make regulations, there were in his opinion no such regulations yet tho business of the Governing Body was almost wholly performed in committee. The schools were managed in meetings of the governors in committee (called a Schools Committee), sitting with executive power every month, except Anpust, with a formal adoption of theic minntes iu July, September, and JiLnuary but, in disregard of Clause 19 of the scheme, the minutes recorded only resolutions carried, and did not mention propositions moved, secaaded. debated, and lost, 60 that coitain propositions be had made for getting regulations were not entered on the minutes. The whole of the finances of the Governing Body, he added, and the management of its property were practically entirely in the hands of the Finance Committee, consi-sting of 10 governors only, and never came up to be dealt with by the Governing Body. It sesmed to him that such a state of things in dealing with public moneys should not be possible without the clear and formal delegation by the Governing Body to their committee, if permissible by law, of these important duties, with the necessary powers, aud that even then they should be surrounded with proper, usual, and sufficient safeguards. Having failed in his efforts to convince the governors that his view3 with respect to their duties to make regulations and that no governors should be excluded from a share in the control of the finances -and managemeiit of the property were correct, he turned to the Board of Education, having, lie hoped, the power to express an authoritative opinion, for such assistance as would enablo him to press his view with greater force or justify him in allowing matters to remain as they were. He asked the Board to advise him on the following points (1) Can the Governing Body delegate to a sub- committee of 10 of its members entire executive powers with regard to finance and the manage- ment of its property ? (2) If so, can it do so other- wise than by regulations made under Clause 22 ? (3) Are the resolutianil recorded in the varioas minutes, copies of which excerpted by the secretary are herewith, regulations in the proper sense of the term, or such as were con- templated by the fra.mets of the scheme or such as satisfy the Board of Education ? (4) Are the powers of the Governing Body as to finance and management of property i n fact delegated by the r-gsolution recorded by Minute 18 ? (5) Am I iustified in allowing matters to rest as they are ? Thia letter was sent down to the governors for their observations, with the result that the clerk was instructed to reply stating fally the way in which the business was transa.cted. The reply cconclodeB It will thus be seen that every member of the Governing Body is afforded full information and the opportunity of criticising every receipt and item of expenditure-in the one case before it is spent,.and ill the other case after it is incurred and paid. To the Finance Com- mittee is assigned the duty of paying all salaries and accounts incurred by the Governing Body, and it is tbe dntv of that committee to see that the amounts due to the Governing Body are duly received and brought to proper account, and that all payments are vouched and properly recorded. No accounts arc discharged by this committee that do not reprosant expenditure authorised by the fnll Governing Body. The governors are of opinion that under this system the business of the Governing Body is well and efficiently discharged, and there appears to them to be nothing lacking that is essential to good government, but at th same time they are always prepared to consider any proposal for improvement that may be snb- mittcd to them. or for the correction of any ir. regularity that may have arisen."

Sam Loates will have the mount oa Ameer in the Royal Hunt Cnp. After the success of General Peaco in the Aatenil Grand Hurdle Race on Woctnssday Mr Prentice presented 1.000 francs to the Jockeys' Hospital at Chantilly. Mr Wm. Stout, at one time the leading amatear sculler of England, died at Gloucester yesterday, aged 58. He won the Wio,«field Sculls in 1869 and the Diamond Sculls at Henley in the firme year. Star of Hanover's success in the Beanfort Hf-n- dicap a.t Manchester eutails a 51b. penalty for thb Royal Hunt Cup, increasing his impost to6st. 81b. Mr Cortis's colt is also engaged in the Woking- ha.m Stakes, and in this instance a, 71b. penalty sends his weight to 7st. lib. Mr E. C. Clayton's Victor Hugo., who is marked dead in the Calendar," in next Tuesday's A-cot programme, was alive and well and out at exercise on Wednesday morning. En is not marked dsad in other races at Aarx t, so that his demise has possibly been announced in error. Now that La, Roche has won tho Manchester Cup just as easily as she won the Oaks, it would be interesting to know who started the rumour, immediately she had won at Epsom, that she would not be stripped at Manchester, but would be kept fer her Ascot engagements. As a matter of fact, the filly never had an Ascot engagement, and in all probability the originator of the rumour knew this. Mr E. Corrigan, a well-known American owner of racehorses, has arrived in this country with a string of a dozen animals—including a fillv by Ormonde—which came in charge of Mr Oorii- gan's trainer, C. E. Darnell, on board the Minne- apolis. Mr Corrigan stated before leaving New York that he had engaged Sloan to do most of his riding. The horses have arrived at Newmarket, and they will be trained by G. Aehby-tormerly trainer for the late Mr Hamar Br.,es-at Blooms- bury House. Mr Ffrangcon-Davies, the well-known Welsh baritone, who has for the past two years taken r<p his residence in Boriin, sailed on Thursday by the Hamburg American liner Aug as t a. Victoria for New York to meet hia engagements at the German Saugerfest in Brooklyn, and at the University of Oberlin, &c. He will return on the DeutschlaJid in Angus: in time to appear at the National Eisteddfod in Liverpool.

SIGNALMEN'S CONFERENCE SPEECH BY MR R. BELL. On Sunday morniog a. conference of G.W.R. signalmen's delegates took place at the Co- operative Hall, Treharris, representatives being present from Cardiff, Merthyr, Dowlais, Neatb, Llanelly, Aberdare, Llantrisant, Quaker's Yard, Treharris, Llancaiach, Tredegar, etc, Mr Kichard Eell, general secretary A.S.R.S., attended. The principal subject ander discussion was the wages question. In the afternoon a propaganda. meeting was held, with a platelayer in the chair. A signalman moved and another seconded the following resolution, That this mass meeting recognises that, the only msans of obtaining and maintaining reasonable conditions of service ia by combination, and appeals to all who are out- side oar organisation to at once join with & view ofkmakiiivanni.ted demand for improved condi- tions." Mr K. Bell said be was very pleased to be present and greater pleased to find that the non-Unionist element had been much reduced since his last visit. The cietyhodaecomplished a great deal. It existed to reduce excessive hours, to get a/ fair day's pa.y for a fair day's work, to get pay for Sunday work, to pre- vent accidents, and to look after the interests of those bereaved through accidents, both fatal and otherwise, and to obtain compensation for them. (Applause.) Was there any non-Unioniat who could find fault with that ? He was gla.d to sa-y that the efforts of the society bad been the means of adjusting many disputes without resorting to the barbaric methods of a strike. Where the men were beat organised they fonud the best condi- tions of service, and it was through the non- Unionists of to-day that they had not made more progress. (Hear, hear.) There was a general agitation in 1897 for an improved condition of service, but because they failed at the first time of asking many members had left them. The society now numbered 65,000 members, and was making steady headway, those joining he be- lieved having come to stay. (Hear, hear.) He exhorted all non-Unionista to join the society at once and improved conditions of service would follow. The resolution was unanimously adopted. I
