Our Commereial Relations With New Zealand—A Threatened Death Blow. In a series of reportsto the State Depart- ment from Auckland, New Zealand, United States Consal Connolly furnishes some valuable information, Speaking of the wool-growing industry in New Zealand, he says that the number of-sheep exported last year with and without wool amounted to 1,964,281, valued at $533,040, Thirty-seven thousand eight hun- dred and twenty-six of the above number were shipped to the west coast of America (San Francisco) of the value of @5,055. The total value of wool exported from 1890 to 1889 ex- clusively.was 207,622,565. The wool export for 1880 was 66,860,150 pounds, valued at 17,473,- 450, while the returns for 1889 show the wool yp eagthedare 102,297,354 pounds (€28,037,- ee aes to hee years of $10,- 4 HINT TO AMERICAN WOOL GROWERS. He is of the opinion, he says, that American wool buyers could buy in this market and ship direct to New York or Boston much cheaper than they could buy in London. It is reason- able to presume that the goer’ poe man's commission, together with the cost o! transshipment from London to New York, would at least be saved. If wool buyers on the conti- nent find it profitable to purchase their wool from first hands, he says, then would not Ameri- can manufacturers find it equally advantageous to pursue asimilar course? The experiment seems worthy the consideration of those en- ed in woolen manufactures. the total value of imports from the United States during 1889 amounted to $1,712,180—an increase over the preceding year of €96.835. The value of, the exports to the United States during the same period was $1,706,860, thus showing the balance of trade to be €5,320 in our favor at the close of last year. AMLRICAN INTERESTS THREATENED. New Zealanders, says Mr. Connolly, keenly appreciate the importance of creating friendly intercourso with the people of the United States, and they have demonstrated this by subsidiz- ing a line of American steamers to run between San Francisco and the colonies. For years this colony bas borne the brunt of the expense of mainteining direct communication with the United States without material assistance from any other source. New Zealand has at last be- come wearied of the burden which a continuance of the service single handed must necessarily entail, while others, practically speaking, reap the benefit. It has, therefore, been determined to discontinue the subsidy to the San Francisco service, but, before doing 0, the government of New South Wales was invited to join Ne nd in defraying a por- tion of the expense. ‘This necessarily compels the abandonment of the San Francisco mail route by the New Zealand government. This is indeed 9 great misfortune, as the line can- not live without outside assistance; and, if it is withdrawn altogether, it will work # great hardship to many American interests in the colonies, ‘Tbe withdrawal of the Oceanic Company's steamers would be a death blow to aeeey pe [pos in the South Pacific. It would tend to alienate the friendly desire to trade with the United States that at present happily exists. It would require years of letermined and unremitting effort to re-estab- lish the friendship and prestige that we st Present enjoy in these seas. THE CASE OF FRANK K. WARD. fis Trial For the Murder of Maurice Adler Postponed to December 10. Inthe Criminai Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, today the case of Frank K. Ward, indicted for the murder of Maurice Adler, set for Tues- day next, was called to the attention of the court by an application fora postponement, There were present Judge Hoge and Mr. Clagett for the government and Messrs, Jere Wilson James Coleman, in Brown and W. K. Duhamel appeared with the defendant. Mr. Coleman remarked that since the case was some weeks ago set for next Tuesday Sen- ator Biackburn, leading counsel for the defendant, had met with an accident which will prevent his apj in the case at the time set, for he was confined and unable to el therefore asked at least le read in support of the plication letter from Senator Blackburn stating that he was confined to his room and making the request for a postponement. SENATOR BLACKBUBN UNABLE TO APPEAR. Affidavits of Drs. Smith Townshend and J. Ford Thompson were read, in which it is stated that Senator Blackburn is now physically un- eae ee enn ee pene eee wee! Mr. Coleman said the defendant had the right tothe attendance of Senator Blackburn, and they asked the postponement as a legal right *"Sudge Hoge, sald’ that while thizi + Ju loge while sympathizing with Senator Blackburn and slheden. 9 the fact that in a civil case as a matter of courtesy he would agree to the request and as an indi- vidual be inclined to yield, yet as a public officer he felt it his duty to oppose the motion, for already there had been expense in the ——— of the case for two occasions, The authorities on continuances favored them when there was but one counsel, but not so in a case of this kind, where there was such a wealth of counsel. However much he would like to oblige the counsel his duty impelled him to do otherwise. Judge Wilson denied that it was Judge Hoge's duty to act otherwise than he would ina civil case and urged that Senator Blackburn keenly felt his duty to appear for his client, He ap- pealed to the court for a few weeks, They did not = a continuance, but simply a postpone- ment ve his room. TRE DECISION OF THE COURT. The court made inquiry as to witnesses and was answered that some from a distance had been summoned for Tuesday and others were under bail to appear. He said that postpone- ment anda coutinuance were somewhat ‘Tier: ent. The court had the power to chan; e date for trial, but should not do so arbitrarily. If it was @ question of continuance he would not be justified in granting the motion. It had been stated that Senator Blackburn had en- tered on the preparation of the case. It oc- curred to him that there might be a postpone- ment to some later day in this term without any serious loss or any real public injury re- sulting. He suggested Monday, December 15, if the counsel could agree, and asked if the trial would be a lengthy one.

The report says: There have been filed 1,810 plans showing plumbing and drainage upon which permite have bees issued for the erection of new houses within the city limits, This is larger number than ever before reported, the nearest to it being my seventh annual report, when 1,787 were recorded. This increase in numbers but ard illustrates the increased value. t is gratifying to eve ean cree gaan those who buiid their homes in this city in the regulations and inspecti of this office. Architects pow build houses for their elionts upon the plans advanced by itary writers, and clients appreciate their value. Plumbing fixtures are not now hid away in dark unventi- lated closets nor finished in upholstery, as was so common a few years ago. DOMESTIC SANITATION, To those who have given intelligent thought to domestic sanitation it is gratifying to see the many beautiful residences now being built in this city in which the laws of hygiene re- ceive reasonable atteution and in which the light and sunshine have free admission, and the cheerful open fireplaces adorn every room and inwhich afuple bath rooms are provided with walls and floors laid with warm colored tiles and every fixture oj to visible inspection; in which. while the beautiful work of the in- terior decorator is evident, the impressive fea- tures are convenient appointments and bealth- ful conditions, There soy been many cheap houses built’ for speculative purposes and the necessity of having all modern conveniences has invited competition among plumbers, who do not always have the confidence of this office. Such houses and such men are the cause of much solicitude and re- quire very careful scrutiny on the part of the inspectors. It is to guard against the evils arising from bad work done by the scamp plumber in these cheap houses that new regulations are so absolutely necessary and that the poor and ignorant may have the same protection from this office as the more intelli- gent and wealthy class of our people. INSPECTION OF OLD ROUSE, In addition to the 1,810 new houses which have been inspected as the work progressed there have been 6500ld houses inspected, upon the request of the owners or occupants, Such inspections are frequently very anxious and laborious, but I have never failed to re- spond to all reasonable requests and I have given my best personal attention to these in- Spections, as I have thought by so doing the welfare of the community was promoted ~~ | the importance of this office made more a ot In this connection I take the liberty of quoting from my last annual report: “With ay het re- eee of 1882 and with each succeedit report I a attention to the fact that there is no authority, in the absence of consent of the owner or occupant, for the in of old houses nor the application of our present rules and regulations thereto, and have asked for congressional «ction upon this point.” New regulations have been ready for promulgation, but there are clauses which juire additional legi: and we hope the bill now before the House of Representatives, which has already passed the Senate, and which has the indorsement of the best plumbers and citizens of the District, will become @ law when Congress again convenes, This law will provide for the examination and registration of plumbers and the practice of the business of plumbing in the District of Columbia, and empowers the Commissioners to make new regulations and prescribe reasonable for the violation of the law. Wecan add much to the Soames ae public. Permits have been issued for 152 houses having plumbing fixtures in the yard only, and eighty houses have been per- mitted in the county. The rapid growth of the suburbs and the evident fact that extensive districts and subdivisions outside of our sewer and water services will soon be built upon compels me again to mention this important it EXTENSION OF SEWER AND WATER SERVICE. No time should be lost in preparing proper plans for the extension of the sewer and water service of the city or the enforcement of rea- sonable i for the immediate di tion of sewage maticr in suburban residemoss to avoid the evident penalty of theria, typhoid and visared sith alec total number of inspections recorded number 4,507 and I take pleasure in again mending my two assistants. who, by their dilt- gent attention and gentlemanly behavior, have made possible so excelicut a record, and ask that you will urge upon the Commissioners the necessity for an increase in the salary of these officers that we may be able to retain skillful — intelligent men to perform this important uty. INOREASED WATER SUPPLY. Since my last report the water supply has been increased by the additional seventy-two- inch main, and many districts where the houses ay had only a faint supply on first floor ve now an abundance all over the house. If water users would exercise some little of the care which, in other cities they are to, our present water service would be much more satisfactory. " This. however, ean only be secured by rigid house-to-house inspection. In conclusion I ask favorable consideration of my frequent request for # scparate and suit- ably fitted office, with safe and proper files for the preservation of the rapidly accum: plans and correspondence, which may be great future value. eee AMUSEMENTS. As Avuprence filling every seat in Music Hall and embracing the best people in the city greeted Mr. Nikisch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra last night on the occasion of the first of the series of concerts to be given here this winter. The aoe gy was varied sufficiently to please all shades of musical taste, and that it was thoroughly enjoyed was manifest by the emphatic applause given to every number, The Beethoven symphony and the fire scene from “Die Walkure” were the numbers in which the interest centered, and both composi- tions, so widely different in motion and con- struction, were formed with a perfection that belongs only to this orchestra In the Paganini selection the finest exhibition unison movement in the large number violins ever witnessed here was given. Mr, Theodore Reichmaun eang an aria by ner and Wotan's Farewell, displaying a baritone of exceptional power ‘ com- pletely captivated his hearers. At Kerxas's this evening Dixon, the bantam, will meet Albert Last RR of C.
