Were the Men Selected Scrantcm
Mine Workers Leave for New York
to Attend the Civic Federation
Conference How to Increase Sales
of Coal in Austria Discussed by a
United States Consul Make-up of
the Board for Today.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Lackawanna railroad, held In New
York, yesterday, E. E. Loomls, general
manager of the coal department, and
U. D. Caldwell, general traffic manager
were elected vice presidents of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Ilallroad company. The office to which
Mr. Loomls was elected has been
vacant since E. R. Holden resigned two
nnd one-half years ago.
Mr. Loomls joined the Lackawanna
forces on June 15, 1S09, as superintend
ent of the coal department, and was
appointed as general manager on March
6, of this year.
i Have Gone to New York.
The officials of District No. 1, of the
United Mine Workers, left for New
York yesterday afternoon to attend
the conference of the Civic Federation,
the coal operators and the United Mine
Workers, which will be held there to
day. Those in the party were: Secre
tary John Dempsey, Vice-President
Adam Rosencranz, and Organizers T,
J. Llewellyn. M. H. He.Uey and John P.
Kearney. In New York they will be
joined by President Nichols, who left
Thursday,
The delegation of United Mine Work
fers will make their headquarters at the
Ashland house.
Two More Mines Secured.
On May 1 tho Delaware and Hudson
Company will resume the leasehold of
the Laurel Run colliery at Parsons and
the Pino Ridge colliery at Miner's Mills,
which It sub-let to Independent oper
ators eight years ago.
Superintendent Rose said yesterday
that the Pino Ridge breaker would be
rebuilt.
To Increase Coal Sales.
During the year 1901 there were im
ported at Trieste about 300,000 tons of
coal, 0 per cent of which came from
the United States, With tho execep
tion of one shipload, all the United
States coal was imported by the Aus- J
it'Mii iioya sccamsuip company tor
its own use, I am Informed that this
company is so well pleased with the
result of its experiment of substitut
ing American for British coal It has
again contracted for 100,000 tons of
our coal, to be delivered during 1002.
Tho praises of American coal .sound
cd by the Lloyd's engineers induced a
Trieste coal dealer to place with a
Now York Ann an order for 300,000
tons ,of prlmo steam coal, When tho
coal unived it was found to contain
so largo a percentage of screening as
to render It unsalable as standard
steam coal, and the purchaser refused
to accept it. Tho coal was finally dls
pobed of at a considerable discount,
but not until It hud been offered to,
nnd Inspected by, nearly overy other
dealer lit tho city. The local repre
sentatives of the British coal Interests
unduly (descanted on this Incident, and
Jt can not bo denied that the reputa
tion of our coal has suffered' a serious
backset.
That we have coal equal to tho best
British grades few dealers doubt: but
I. Uuow that, many of them would re
gard It hh a very risky experiment to
buy In the United States "sight un
seen" a shipload of coal and pay cash
for It, in fact, the large majority of
our exporters of coal are not yet well
enough known abroad to demand from
foreign buyers more confidence than
they are willing to extend to them.
British coal Is bent here on consign
ment. Nearly every British exporter
doing business In Austria has a large
depot at Trieste, in charge of u native"
agent, and; It Is probably safe to say
that the most experlncedicoal men of
this city are thus linked to British In
terests. ".
A standard' grade of. American steam
coal was recently offered here for Feb?
ruary or Murch delivery at d price Ss.
Alum Is used In some baking powders and
in most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders, because It is cheap, and makes a
iheaper powder. But alum is a corrosive
poison which, taken in food, acts injur
iously upon the stomach, liverand kidneys.
100 WIUIAM T., NEW YORK.
(73 cents) below the present quotations
of Welsh coal and found no taker;
while in Italy and France, the same
coals have for the past year been sold
side by side at practically equal prices.
I have no doubt that, were an Ameri
can coal depot established here, from
200.COO to 300,000 tons of first-class
American steam coal could annually
bo sold In southern Austria. Consul
Frederick W. Hossfeld, of Trieste.

AMERICAN ENGINES.
Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Washington, April 25.
Till! USE of American engines on UiltUh rail
vvjjs, especially upon those In Egypt, is
dkcuiied In ii icport by tho Earl of Cro
mer, tho IliitUh consul-general in Calio,
a copy of which has Just i cached the treasury bu
reau of statMlcK. The rqiort stated that Oilier
ic.iii manufacturci s are able to furnish cnginca
of their btamUul tjpc4 at lower prices and in
less tlmo than British manufacturers, but that
fur seelally nunufactmed engines upon oikr-i,
differing in detail troni American types, the
price.) of British manufacturers nro slightly be
low those of tho United States, and tho tests of
American uud Urltisli engine? iu actual tervk'o
have shown that the American engines contiime
from 23 per tint, to CO per cent, more coal than
fhoo manufactured in England, Two offers from
American anil British manufacturcis for tptclally
made engines according to 6poelticatloni iiiucd
by tho Egyptian lailwjy. boaid .ire quoted. In
one of thrao the British price is $2,210 pound)
sterling, ami the Aineiican price 2,700 jioumlj
sterling; and in the other case tho British pile
is 3,230 pounds Muling, and the American price,
n,r76 pounds bterling. To this, liovvovcr, Eoid
Cromer addit "On the other hand, tho Amer
ican firm (ifrsfrs, Hurnham, Williams & Co,,
whose woiks are known as the 'Baldwin' works),
offered to eupp'y tngiucj differing in certain par
ticulars from tha Egyptian designs and epcciflcu.
tlons, but which they hold to be of equal power
and equally suitable to tho work wldch liad to be
performed. Under these conditions, the Amori
cun price fell respectively to 1,CM and 2,473
pounds sterling, that is to say, 10 per cent, below
the British. The reason tor this great fall in
price I sufficiently obvious; it Is thus explained
by Mr, Trerlthick. The American firm, he iyi,
'were able to introduce their stock standard,'
and to advance woilc continuously without be
ing; hampered by, to them, unknown and unnet
esssry conditions, an iiivantage which, iu my
opinion, quite accounts for the difference in the
cost and time of delivery between tho two makes
cf engines.'
"It appears, however, that It Is not to inucUl
In the blatter of price as In rwpect to the period
required for tho construction that the American
mnmificlurcra have had the grralCRt advantage,
not only over British, but ocV all other com
petitory. Tho figures in this connection are, In
deed, Ury remarkable. On tho two occisloin
glen by Mr. Trcvllhlck, tthen BrltWi and Amer
ican firms entered Into tonipctltlou, Hie former
offered to complete the outers in fort -eight to
ninety wrcks rrepccthrb', Tim American ofTeir,
on the other hand, were for ilclhery In eighteen
to fhlrly-mc weeks, If the Kgjptlan designs and
specification! wern followed, or In fwchc and
thirty weiU, it certain changes in the dislgna
Mere allowed,
"II cannot be doubled that the main reason
uhy no in my orders for railway and other plant
required fn Egjpt have recently been given to
America, Is that American firms hic been uhlo
to execute them with extraordinary rapidity.
For reasons to which I hue hrinicntly alluded In
my annual rrnorls. nnd on which I need not.
therefore dwell at present, railway development
in Egjpt did not, for many jcars, keep pare
with the rapidly Increasing prosperity of tha
country. The natural rcault ensued. A moment
eamn when a a large quantity of material va
required for delivery in a short time, and, inas
much as American firms were in a far better po
sition than others to comply with the require
ments of the government as regards time of de
livery, a laigo portion of the orders naturally
went to America."
With rclerence to this particular question of
lime, Mr. Troithlek forwuidrd a memorandum to
Lord Cromer as follows! "The Baldwin works
arc at present turning out locomotives at the tate
of 1,000 a jear, or 23 per cent, more than the
combined turn-out" of the four leading UitittUh
firms, xljE.,aKcltson, 800; Dubs, 1B0; Sharp Stew
art, 140, olid Kltfion, 130, Their secret of succlms
In rapidly and Inexpensively constructing locom3
tives is their continuous day and night work
ostein of piece work, nnd working to fixed types
and 'templates, It will bo readily understood how
Krcat an economy can bo effected in the ron
strucllon of machines so complicated as locomo
tives vlion, by working day and night, double the
amount of work is obtained out of the plant and
buildings ftapltal), when no scheming; nor draw
ings are necessary, and when complete 6ets of
templates and patterns exist.
".Moreover, under this sjstem, they are able to
make use of labor-saving machines nnd tools spe

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, April 23. There was a persistent
tendency today among the stocks of grain car
rying railroads to move in a see-saw fashion with
the price of grain. The heavy liquidation and a
violent break In prices in tho grain market sent
tho price of the Grangeis up with a rush. Union
Pacific leading with an e.xticme advance of 2!4.'
The movement spent its force when it was been
that good buying bad developed in the grain
market at the decline and that prices were rally
ing there from the slump caused by reports of
last night's lalns with the forecast of fitlr weather
for thomorrow. The whole market felt the lack
of the early aggressive leadership of Union Pa
cific and during the final hour there was a ragged
lecession which wiped out many early gains ind
carried piicea of important stocks amongst the
Grangers, Coalers, New York public utilities and
high priced industrials below last night. There
vvosaa late advance in the southern group martccd
by very largo buying of Southern railway at an
extreme advance of 1; Louisville was lifted at
the same time - and Chicago, Indianapolis and
Louisville rose 1 over last night after erratic
fluctuations. This movement seemed designed to
check the decline elsewhere in the market and
when it was i-ecu to be without effect the houthcrn
stocks reacted. There was tome bidding up of
the Grangers again at the close, which was act
ive and steady. Thcie was large buying of the
United States Steel slocks during the morning
by luokers unsually employed by the syndicate.
This buying beemed to be in connection with the
issues of bonds chcular. The stock icacted and
became dull with the rest of the market. The
chcular disclosed that it35,000,000 of the proceeds
of the bond K-ue is deslgrcd to capitalize expen
ditures of about $25,000,000 for pioposed improve
ments will add from S10.000.00 to $13,000,000 to
the yearly profits. The ?CO.000,000 proceeds of the
tale of bonds for cash are thus accounted for. The
piovMon for the $10,000,000 allowed the under
writing syndicate and its managers, J. P. Moigan
& Co., at the rate of i per cent, of the ?30,000,
000 bond issue is not made clear. The American
ice stocks also moved very vigorously upwards in
face of the parsing debenture bonds ahead of the
stock's, 'in ei e was u great variety ol move
ments among the specialties. Amalgamated Cop
per advanced on the conjecture that the con
solidation of the Hclnzc interests was preliminary
to their absorption. The stock lost its gain.
Sugar was weak on the proposed investigation of
the company's Cuban holdings bv a senate com
mittee. Total sales today, 1,100,1)00 shares. The
activity of the stock market diverted interest
ftom the bond market but prices heic were flimlv
held. Total sales, par value, $",.10'i,tV)a. United
Slates bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

"Thus It Is that the Baldwin works, so long as

chlncrj- day nnd night, oml arc allowed to con

fully compote with the world In locomotive mail'

With regard to the conuimptlon of coat by tho
various types of engines, t,oid t'romer reports as
follows! "It Is, however, In respect to the rela
tive consumption of toil that tho recent trills
nro of special value. Tho most scrupulous rare
was taken to render tho trial fair. On this point
Mr. Trdvlthelck sajss 'Thrso comparisons have
been carried nut under exceptionally favorable
circumstances, Inasmuch as tho locomotives em

in design and manufacture, and tho results con
Jointly signed by n representative sent out by tho
American builders, nnd a locomotive Inspector
of tho Egyptian railway administration.
Trials wcro made vylth both goods and pabsen
gcr engines. It was found that, in tho cave of
poods engines, the American consumed 25.1 per
cent, more coal than the British engine, while
the latter was drawing 11.2 per cent, more loid.
In the case-of the pawonger engines, the Ameri
can was CO per cent, more than the British con
sumption, with the same average load, This lat
ter difference represented at 3fs. 2d. per ton (tho
average price paid last year by tho railway
board), an additional cost of 400 pounds sterling
per engine. Major Johnstone, in reviewing these
figures, nays, speaking more especially of tho pass
enger engines; "The contrast between about 20
pounds of coat per mile in the beat runs of the
British engine, and over 00 pounds In the hardest
ruas of tho American, Is quite extraordinary. On
the whole, the superiority of the British type is
fully established; but It is clear that the pass
enger engine is a bad example of Amtrican prac
tice." fjord Cromer concludes bis memorandum
ns follows: "The gcneial conclusion to be drawn
from these trials is, t think, tint in respect to
price British manufactures can well hold their
own where fpechl designs have to bo executed;
that in respect to quality they turn out wotk
equal to, or superior to that of American or
Belgian competitors: that in consumption of coal
they have a decided superiority over American,
and that the British weak point is the time re
quired for executing orders."

Chicago Grain Market.
Chicago, April 25. Rains in the four big wheat
and corn slates played havoc with the price of
grains; on the board of trade today and caused a
commotion for a time that resembled a stampede.
For the first hour It was nothing but tell, hell,
sell. Prices fluctuated so widely and wildly tint
for a time a panic was feared. When tiidcri
recovered their heads the pits quieted down some
what and there was a good reaction. Bears, how
ever, had too much the best of the argument to
allow prices to recover and May wheat closed la
1C lower; May corn lc. down and May oats lc.
off. Provisions, though showing independent
strength for a time, could not withstand the
pounding in grains and they closed 5.i7c lo 17e.
