J^ NO COAL AT GIBRALTAR BRITISH FLEET WAS PRACTI- CALLY HELPLESS. Sequel to the Baltic Fleet Crisis â€" Commandeered a Supply. It is hard to believe that whu'U jvcryone thought that Great I'ritaiii Was on the brink of war with Uussia afler the North Sea outraife the liriti.sh fleet was practically help- less at Gibraltar owing to want of coal, says the l^ondon I>aily Chronicle. Yet this is the .sensational state- ment made in the Indian Daily News by Captain Berryman, of the steam- er London Bridge, on his arrival at Calcutta. The London Uridge left Kngland trith u cargo of coal for Port Said (Ust before the North Sea occurrence. Captain lierrymnii airived o(T the Straits of Gibraltar about four o'clock in the morning. "We were going through quietly," .le told a represL'nlativc of the In- dian Daily News, "when out of the oarbor came torpedo boats and launches. " 'Who are you?" asked the lead- ing boat, and when 1 replied I was iold I must come into Gibraltar. '^ TOOK VESSEL'S COAL. "I was greatly astonished at this, and thought they were stopping all traffic through the Straits. But when I reached the harbor I found they wanted my coal. They told me to start unloading at once, anil the Condon liiidgo went from ship to ship until she Wiis empty. We were two days over the job. "There wori> (ourtiKin war vessels ._ In the bay, and they had been gath- sreil hurriedly from nil parts of the Weditcrrunean. .So they were fairly well empty by the time they reached Gibraltar. "What slock of coal was there at Gibraltar? Well, 1 do not know for certain. Ashore there was, I believe only 1,000 Ions of patent fuel in hulks. Hut I hail no op[iortunity to ete how much there was on shore. oriiKU BOA'is .sTopri':n. "The slock must have been low, however, for I was i;of the only boat that was stopped Ten others at least there were within the two days onl.v â€" all lOnglis-h. of eournn." Asked for further iletails, Captain llerryinan continui'd; "I don't know if tin; Governnu-nt had arranged with the T'orl Said people to buy the coal before they look it. Probftlily this may have been arranLTfil. for the business could bo aettlcil ipiirkly by calilcgi lun.

"Porgive me, dearest, that's simp- ly heroic." 1 a LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. According to a Widl-foundcd rumor, the Dominion (Jovernnient will dur- ing the present session be uirged to impose a customs duty on grades of fence wire which are now on the free list. That such a tax would prove an unjust burden to the farmers of Canada there is no doubt. In the older juirts of the Dominion the ol<l Wooden fences are being year by year replaced by wire structures, and in the Great West, which is rapidly being settled, practically all the fencing is being di/ne with wire in one or other of its many forms of construction. Were the kinds of wire mo.st in u.so for fence conslruc- lion manufactured in Cana.la, there might be some excuse for imposing an import tax, but since there are practically no factories for making it in operation in the Dominion, whom could such a tax benefit? That the price of fencing material Would be raised to practically the extent of the duly there can be no doubt. This would mean that a duty of 2,5 or SO per cent. would impose an extra tax of $1.50 to $175 on the fencing reipiired for an average farm. Nor would thi- rural community sutler only lo the extent of an increased expense to those who have to fence, but a great deal of farm iiuprovement would be dela,yed for many years. which would oper- ate .strongly in keeping down the value of land. Uathcr than impose a tariff on Nos. 9, 12 and 111, .smooth galvanized wire, as has been proposed, it would be a much saner policy to remove the present duty of 20 per cent, on Nos. 7 and 11. If this were done, the revenue would not suffer, for these grades are not extensively imported, liiit if they were free n stronger and more satis- factory fence could be obtained without enhancing the cost.
