OUR ALLIES AND COALING ARRANGEMENTS.
July 23, 8 25 p.. In the House of Commons, during the committee stage of the Cost Bill, Sir A. B. Markham moved an amendment to procure coal for Britain's allies on the same terms as in Britain,
Mr. Banoiman (President of the Board of Trade) anncanoed that they were giving the French Government and the State rail- waya full advantage of the Admiralty's arrangement with the Welsh comfowners. Russia and Italy at present bad contraote on favourable toreis, with which they were satisfied. When the contracts expired the question would probably arise and the Admiralty would then be prepared to extend treatment similar to that of France.
The amendment was withdrawn.

It declares that a repetition by: German naval Commanders of acts contravening the rights of nou- trala would be regarded, when they affect American citizens, as deli berately unfriendly.
