The Cry For Coal.
Day before yesterday, pi-rhaps It was,
a dispatch announced that coal had
risen to the hiKhest price ever known
In Kngland, and now a dispatch an
nounces a like fact In Germany. Cham
bers of commerce have petitioned the
government for relief on this account,
and '"the Prussian cabinet has resolved
to grant a modified railroad tariff for
foreign coal in order to facilitate the
Importation of coal from England and
the United States. The Prussian min
lster has laid an embargo on all the
coal mined in the state mines."' This
last evidently means that he has order
ed the entire output to bo reserved for
government uses; nono Is to bo sold to
Individuals. Tho prospect of a supply
from Eng'and does not seem very bright,
seeing what Is said of the price of It
there, and Boeing the statement received
recently, that manufacturers In Scot
land were considering the question of
closing their works until they can buy
coal at a prlco which will leave them
somo profit on what they manufacture
The present state of affairs is unusual,
but, when It has passed away, there is
no telling how soon It may recur. Late
In the sixties there was a scarcity of
coal In England and a scare raised by
the idea that the stock of it In the earth
there was approaching exhaustion,
which Idea has been In circulation late'
ly, though in a modified form, as that a
groat amount of coal remains, but at
such a depth that it Is becoming un
profitable to mine it. There was then
a prediction that electricity would be
brought in to fill its place as fuol, tho
electricity to be produced by water
power or largely so, and transmitted to
the points of consumption. That for
tho old world the matter of fuel supply
under circumstances like those prevail
ing has become a serious one cannot
well be doubted. Pittsbuurg Daily
