Xetherlsnds, Aug. 1.-(Associated Press Correspondence.)-The miner's pick and drill were never so deftly yielded since Holland had a history as they are jnst now. Coal is in great demand. The Hutch mines are poorly developed and produce com paratively little fuel and it cannot be obtained, in sufficient quantities from Germany and Great Britain at present td satisfy the calls of the various industries and public works depend ent on it. The limited production of coal In Holland ls said by some to be one of the principal causes of the mainte nance by this country of what they describe as friendly neutrality toward Germany. Even now. when a certain amount of coal is still coming in from thc neighboring cower, the author ities here are encountering not only in running thc railer roads, but lu supplying fuel for the pumping sta tions all over the country whoso operations keen the Netherlands from again becoming a swamp. Holland has plenty of coal beneath the surface cf ber most southerly province-Limburg. The field, how ever have never been properly de veloped and the Dutch arc now re gretting their lack of foresight in this regard, which at a time wheti they feel they would like to be entirely free in their action, haB placed them In a condition of dependence on Ger many for an article which they need badly. With these difficulties facing them pi??Co the beginning of the war, thc mine-owners have made a brave show ing, but they have been still further ii'mdlcapped by the mobilization of tho Dutch army, which took away many of their beBt men, and by the ; ?ailing to the colors of German and Belgian pitmen, many of whom had been employed in the mines in the pro vince of Limburg. Although Holland occupies only very low rank In the coal-producing countries of Europe, its mines are jrobably the most ancient, their rec :>rds showing workings near Kerk rado as early as 1113. The pits now jwned and worked by the states were for many centuries exploited by monks from the Abbey Kloosterade, who /continued their mining opera tions until as late as 1796. The pits, aow named the Wilhelmina, the Em ma and the Hendrik, gave employ ment to 167 officials and 4,332 pitmen, >f whom sonit. 500 were called up for service In the Dutch army in August ind the following months, while members of their German fellow workmen also bad to leave to fight their country's battles. Owing to the lack of experienced miners in Hol land, it haB become necessary to fill their places with foreigners, many af thom Belglums, who fled from their own country after the German Invasion. Besides the state mines there are privately owned coalfields in Lim burg and North Brabant, while bor ings have been made also in Over Ijsel and Golderland. Aa these al together produce only about 1,000,000 jf the 5,00,000 tons annually required by Holland, the remainder is usuallly Imported from Germany and Great Britain. s The German mines, since the war started, have continued to supplly 40 per cent of their usual annual quan tlty to the Netherlands, but England has declined to permit thc export of steam coal in any large quantity Manufacturing concerns and muuicl palities turned to America for sup plies, but the frelph rates from tho United States to Dutch ports were so prohibitive-the minimum roaching; $8, per ton more than the rate from Germany-that nobody would buy Amsterdam alone, for instance, re quires 250.000 tons a year to furnish the city with gas, and this would mean an additional outlay of $2.000,000 per annum. The Dutch capital, there fore, bas cut down Us supply of gsa, and its street lamps are extinguished early in the night, tho example being followed by .The Hague, Enschede Briel and other cities. Peat enters always largely into the fuel supply of Holland and, In con sequenca o fthe shortness of coal, has been more called for than ever. Many private households have resumed the consumption of peat fuel, and ita peculiar smell is now encountered everywhere in Holland. * Careful Haiden.

WOULD EXTEND JAPAN'S TRADE IN PHILIPPINES ---- i Dr, Miyama Thinks Islands Offer Great Market for Japanese Goods. Tokio. Aug. 4.-(Associated Press Correspondence. i -"Expand Japan's trade in the Philippines" ls the mes sage which Dr. K. Miyama brings back to his fellow countrymen after an extensive business trip throughout the American archipelago. Dr. Miy ama sums un lils impressions in un ar ticle which he calls: "Japan in the Philippines." I'miucstionably. Dr. Miyama thinks tile islands offer a much greater mar ket for Japanese goods. Pointing out that after the 1'nlted Slates comes England and then Japan In point of trade, the writer remarks that notwithstanding Japan's geo graphical advantage over ber rivals she has been able to surpass only Germany and China In trading with tlp? iuluuds. Tile Chinese, he says, ar,, especially strong in the interior, but lie thinks the natives have little rtspect "for the cunning Chinese whose ways they do not like." As for anti-Jupan.'se sentiment. Dr. Miyama is happy to say he found ione at all. He says: "The natives, suffering to nome extent from white ipprcssion, have little real respect for their masters. In fact tiiere seems .very where to prevail a warmer riendship for the Japanese than for any other race, even the savages ?bowing them kindnesses." llotb the American authorities aud the natives, le declares, welcome the Japanese and reat them with due consideration. "Tile authorities aro specially an [lous to introduce more labor from tupan as the Japanese prove more tatlsfactory in this respect than do ho natives. Thc white hemp- com ?anles utilize Japanese labor as far s they can with very satisfactory re ults. Thus the demand for Japan se labor in the Philippines ls almost lulimitcd at present. New planta ions are always being created; una he new Industry of abaca promises a ihcnomenal development that will tand further increase thc demand for abor. Dr. Miyama notes that in tho pro uctioti of pearls the Japanese lead ,s they are the most fearless and kilful divers; indeed they now al lOBt monopolize this enterprise. One lg ?Japanese company has forty liree boats anu fishes by machinery, tut tit? business ls now suffering rom depression caused by the war Ut' ." uro i ii ..
