I COAL FROM AMELTICA. riiOMlSED IX LOX-DO AT L'os. PER TUX. No effort is beinir spared hy the Americans  4CU° Korne of the British .?l in,i m r' M, i Hylatl. tb. ;UI'OI)ean represeuUitive «t some ot ti\o larpcwt coal accncicsiuthn states, explained the poRition from his point ut view to a represLflitative of the "Daily Chroniele. "Wo arc quite satisfied." he t-aid. "with the progress already made. Yon have to remember ttiat thts is the firnt time that American coal- owners have seriously attempted to trade with lairopo. Wlun Kritieh prices got so high they reaased it would pay them to send coal across the Atlantic. At tiret they were content to cm j into the British export t-rad-s by delivering coa! equally pood at Continental port* at tower prices. Now they hapeto compete with the home supply." Tfar arc ycu hampered by the freightage r ites* I hat s the difficulty we propose to surmount the coal wc have shipped to Havre coat about 17.. per ton for tntnsport alone, and evttn at that figure we can sell at a less price than the British merchant trading in the same port. 5>iK'h frciyhtape. however, rcindors competition in the home market impossible.. But these rates are abnormally high, owing to the S^uth Amcan war. and they are certain to decline. Ittdo not. and if we nun not get lower rates from the shipping companies, I have no hesiuuion in saying that >oine of the Ametvcau voal agencies will build a fleet of colliers of their own. Then we shall lye ahle to outbid the hnglish coalowners in their own markets." "At what price do you hope to be able to coal in l<ondofii?'' At less than 5.. lwr ton." cume the ready response. Wo have carefully gone into the mattejvand «>nco we got the cost of freightage ot ought down to Iu*. per ton—and if shippers won t- offer U8 these tenus we will get trans- pott of our own—we shall be able to ut into Iit,, Ii,n(i ?)ff. coal at ??e'ry much cheaper rate than the consumer is now Paying." But wou't the result, be that the British coalowners will reduce their prices to a point below thai at which you can trade with a profit*" Whatever happens, the British consumer will get his CO" I cheaper. But I do not fear any action which the colliery owners here luay t;.ko once we get our freightage rates down to 10s. British coal is dear not because the sltpplr is short, but because the dema.nd is heavy. The official returns show a very peculiar state of things. While in one sense tonal ii:l scarcer than it has ever been before, the last year 8 output is the largest on record. Tha simply means that the consumption of all the ?,.rt,t is g?lillgIlp by IL'a P. and bounds. Rnginnd has proved that in ""ite 01 her unprecedented output she cannot meet the growing demand without resorting to extortionate prices. Now Alnrka is com- ing forward as a great coal trading country, and the eompetitinu will keep British prices steady. For many years England was tho l;,lre3t. eoaUproducing country in the world, but America has at last got ahead of her in total <.nltpnt. and our increase in propoftion is at a higher rate than England's." "What about quality. Mr. Rylatt? You know, of course, that the reason English coal is 11) much in requisition is because of its excellent properties?" "In the threechief kinds of coaJ—steam, house. and a-we can hold our own with English supplics of the best. The very reason that prompted the South Metropolian Gas Company to order their recent shipment from America was because of the superior gaS"!)f()". ducing properties of American coal. As for steam coal, your own Admiralty is locking out for a supply from us. while only recently a contract was concluded for supplying a million tons for the French navy. Russia is also taking large supplies from us for its navy. In tact, it is said that the coal from the well-known Pittsburg seam, which is used in tho I nited States Navy, is the best steam coal in use." c( Have you any orders on hand at. present ror supplying coal to this country?" "Our chief orders at present are from Con- tinental ports, but I may say that negotia- tions are now pending with regard to supplies for London and Liverpool. Nothing c:>.n be done oil a large scaie until the f1"t..ightale rates are reduced, and we are confident we shall get theiu reduced shortly."

A NEW FLYING MACHINE. EX PERU>1 EX T IN LO-NDON. An interesting experiment was made at "t,lIuford-brid¡:e, FuUam. on Monday after- noon with a machine which has been designed by lr. Edward Anderson, a Swede, for the pur- pose of controlling and tcering a balloon. The contrianee is constructed or can vall. leather, and bamboo, and consists of two small aeroplanes, a canvas car. and a pair of propèllera six feet in length, which are operated from the car by a hand crank. In length it i. about fifteen feet over all. and in breadth about nine feet. Mr. Auderson has explained that the machine was not intended for llyins. but for rendering the balloon dirigible. It was intended to be suspended below the car of the balloon, and when in mid-air the ,css) will be guided in it course by the rotation of the propedel's. whieh were worked by manual power. The machine, suspended at about three feet below the car of a large balloon, which was intuited with orÜtllary ga fronl the town main, ascended with the inventor and Mr. Anhur Williams, tho well-known balloonist, at about four o'clock, and travelled in it south- westerly direction. An unfortunate bitch occurred, however as ?t 1,: tl", balloon left the ground, one of the four ropes by which the machine was attached to the car leeorning involved with the basket- worli of the car and tilting the machine at a somewhat short angle ,Al, the balloon rose Mr. Anderson was :en t: be attempting to turn th" propellers, but until its disappearance no movement could be dis- cerned. Ir, n Anderson had intended, if possible, to return to the starting point if his machine proved efficacious, but the high wind rendered this impossible. Mr. Anderson expressed great confidence in hi. invention, and ii?,i'ted in making the Mccntt.t?ntrarytothe advice of theae?nau? by whom he was accompanied, who considered the wind too high. M r. Anderson has been in London for about six j ears, and has been working at his idea for four ycar,. He has nad numerous experi- ments with flying and other machines for aerial navigation, but this was the first prac- tical step ha had taken. The balloon to which Mr. Anderson's appa- ratus was attached deseelldcd in safety at seven o'clock last evening at Chiddingfold. Surrey. having travelled about 40 miles. The wind was steady during the voyage, an,1 Mr. Anderson was apparently able to use his steering apparatus, for a telegram despatched from Ciliddingfold at eight o'clock says: (irand success.

ALLEGED FALSE PR.ETEXCES BY A IIOV. At Bromley (Kent) Petty Sessions on Mon- day Sidney Marshall Withers, a boy residin- with his father in Edward-road. Croy"don, was charged with obtaining 4s. by false pretences from Mr. Frank Fichus, of N'uthurst House, Kcctory-road, Beckenham. Prosecutor stated that prisoner caine to his, house on the 24th of July and asked him if he would buy some music to help his father, who could not Work. Witness gave him 4s. for a son lud a "Grand March." and the accused said he woold send the copies by Saturday'. He cave his naino as Withers, and said he lived at Fullertnn.road, Croydon. As the music did not come, witness wrote to the address given, and received no reply. He then gave information to the police. The Magistrates' Clerk: Why did yon give him 4s.?—Witness: Because I thought he was an enterprising little boy. I irked him inside my house, and he played the piano. (Litughter.) The Clerk: Did he sny his fathen was i dealer in music?~Witness: He said his father bought ntusir. Deteetin) Carr gave evidence of arrert,, and stated that the lad in reply to the charge said, "It is not my fault; I was acting under the iustrtwtionA of my father. He stood at the gates of the houses, took the money, and spent it. I went to about 10a houses last week." The father came forward and denied that he had the money, and added that his son had brought him to a state of beggary. The bench remanded the accused.

He made a similar arplkation with respect to the rcfresh- memt-rooms at Landore Station, Great Western Railway, where be doclared it to be difficult to get other than intoxicating drinks, which were thiust on passengers. He thought this very Imfair to the pnhlirans in that neigh- applications were granted.— Mr. R.

Mr. Villiers Meager applied for the renewal of the licence of the Langland Hotel, Mt. Helen's-road. Mr. Ii. Watkins. on behalf of the Temperance party, opposed on the ground that the hotel had Iwn recently considerably enlarged, 80 that this was practically an application for a new licence.

No new ground had been huilt on, and the new hal's were simply the old i~ellars. Mr. Llewelyn Evans, the proprietor, and Me.

I.OUIS BOi'HA. I 31r. F, Rumpel, the late editor of tho Pretoria "Vojkst..m," thus describes Lord Roborth's present chief opponent, in tho Transvaal:—Louis Botha belongs to the youngest- of the Boer generals. Ho is slender and supple, has an energetic face and a pair of great eyes, a blonde beard and moustache, aud a mouth which readily folds into a smile. Louis Botha is in' every respect a gentleman. He knows all forms of European society, speaks and writes Dutch better than any of the other generals, and evidences on his first appear- ance that he is a man of culture. His burghers esteem him for his benevolence, his unwearied power for work, and his great tactical abilities. His word is to them a law. They do for him everything to conform to his views. Noticeable is it that, where the Boers very speedily and by preference speak of "Oom Paul," "Oom Christian," or "Oom Koos," no single burgher ever thinks of calling him "Oom" or "Cousin Louis," Yet ho is not unpopu- lar among his fellow fighters. On the con- trary he is, with President Kruger, the most influential person in the two Republics. Louis Botha is the. man of the "grande guerre." No single Boer general knows so well how to select his position and make his preparations, and knows so to do at the exact moment. Where De Wet- and Oelarev find their strength in the guerilla, there develops Botha his power in the great field fights, where he looks over the who\ ground of the lighting as the most capable general. In him Sir Redvers Buller has always found his master. And now Lord Roberts has to meet him. If at the close the victory should COIII" to the British—which I do not believe—then that will not be because of the less ability of the great onoonent of the English Field Marshal, but only because of the crushing and overwhelming force at the disposal of the British.

THE PLAGUE OF WOMEN IN SOUTH AFRICA. LETTER FROM MRS. RICHARDSON, MANORDEILO. :\Irs. ,1. E. Richardson, Glaubrydan Park, Manordeilo, who has just returned from South Africa, writing with regard to the hospital arrangements, says :—"I quite agree with the views of several eminent men that many women have proved them- pln's quite unfit to undertake any work in hospitals. The P.O.M. himself told mo that visitors had fed enteric patients with fruit and cakes, thereby endangering their lives; had interfered with the Army Nursing Sisters, and had even forced their way past the sentries. Lord Roberts him- self refused applications from ladies. to work in Bloemfontein, as no doubt, if he had consented there would have been a rush from Cape Town. But I believe num- bers of capable women returned to Eng- land who, although lacking throe years' hospital training, might have been of incal- .11) 1 () tl,c culable use uuder proper direction and strict rules. At present, permission to assist the Army sisters seems to depend entirely on interest, and not necessarily on capability. I think our soldiers were, on the whole, most carefully tended, and their sufferings relieved in every possible way."

Mr. Howe Oolan. barrister, appeared to i | prostcute on behalf of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; and Mr. Hood, solicitor, defended.
