Cotton as Contraband. Cotton being deemed absoluta contraband the whole daty of the commander of a warship will com- |aist in bringing any cotton-laden Tessel be osptures into port to be adjudicated upon in proper equity, with nothing more deiri mental, to the nautrals to which it may be consigned than & me brief delay, for which compensa tion will be paid. England has rought by every possible means to | avoid giving trouble to neutrals, but the evidence of many soid- area all goca to prove that they bave taken undue adrantsge of the consideration accorded them. Of the many neutral vessels held up the great majority have been found to be cotton- laden Tencele whone cargoen were obviously destined for Germany, Fortunately there have already been frank exchanges of opinion between the Allies and the Ameri- can Government and, although the cotton interests may protest loud enough, it is expected that, with the facia before them, the Washington Government will concur in the stand now taken by those countries which arsim mediately concerned with the speedy termination of a murder- ous war forced upon them by s oruel and ambitione neighbour.

Daily Pran,

Cotton and Shells. As for coʻton indirectly destinad to Germany through neutral countries, we should than, accord ing to the precedents of the Civil War, have ample justification for seizing it whenever, we could prove that these countries were getting more than their normal abare. For the equally necessary. removal of the practical difficulties involved by the sudden curtail- ment of the market of American planters we have an ther Ameri- can precedent. By buying at any rate enough of Germany's normal quats to steady the price, we should merely be paying back with interest the action of the North in Lanosphire whom the block- ade of the South had reduced to atarvation. There are other equally important ways in which the parallel of the Civil War daring which we were continually pro- testing, usually in vain, but good- naturedly, against the same sort of things that the Americans are now finding fault with ons be need." And it would appear from the cables published yesterday. that in taking the step of declar ing cotton contraband the Allies intend to use them for we are told that they will take their stand not only on the broad ground that international law authorises it, but on the fact that the United States proclamation of 1865 made materials for the manufacture of ammunition contraband.

The Mining Industries of Canada. Ia New Brunswick the seams are not thick, but are very nearly horizontal, the coal occurring quite near the surface, the deepest shafts in the neigh bourhood not exceeding 40 ft. In this district the coal industry is still in the preliminary stages of exploitation, though it has been established for many years, Eome idea of the ease with which the coal is worked will be gathered from the slatement recently made that the number of metric tons produced per annum per man în in: Canada 180, while in Great Britain the Dumber falls to 230, Our comparative small output per mahnis explained to some extent by the extra labour entailed in "abnormal places, and the necessity of working thinner seams, due to the steady exhaustion of the thicker, Possibly the resifictivé a polioy encouraged, or connived at, by the trade unions, is not without ita effect.
