AUSTRALIAN COAL.
SHIPMENTS FOR DOMINION. LITTLE INCONVENIENCE THROUGH STRIKE. (Bv Telegraph—Special to Standard.) AUCKLAND, Aug. 28. About 4000 tons of coal from Gladstone, Queensland, consigned to the Railway Department will be discharged at Auckland by the steamer Kaiwarra. Owing to the prolonged closing or the Newcastle mines the department has had to go elsewhere. A consignment of south coast coal from the Port Kembla was landed at Auckland last rnonih. New Zealand coni serves most of the department’s needs; indeed, as a result of much experimenting in reoent years it has been found possible to use only a small admixture of Newcastle coal in the locomotive furnaces. Thus the Australian strikes have not enused the New Zealand railways much inconvenience.
