In the matter of items the greatest fall- ing off fs naturally in wools, manufactures of wools and sugars, on which the present duties are high. The value of manufactured wool import- ed in September, 1896, was $472,766, while for September of this‘ year it was $298,452, nearly the whole of that amount being in woois of class 1. In manufactured wools the imports for September, 1896, were $2,- 066,101; for the same month of this year $686,603, showing the enormous quantities of wool goods brought fn before the pas- sag@ of the Dirgley bill. The largest part of these anticipatory tmportations was in women’s and children’s dress goods. Only $94,156 worth of this class df goods came in last September. In the same month of last year the amount was $613,711. In. wood and the manufactures of wood there’ ts also a large décrease, the totals being $1,961,809 and $1,010,208, respectively, for September, 1896 and 1897. Tin, for September of this year, shows a big increase, the value, being $1,177,047, against $423,812 for September of last year.

The order calls for 2,000 chickens, 1,000 pigeons, 1,000 ducks, 300 turkeys and 500 geese. The 450 cases of eggs will contain 13,500 dozen. will be alive when they reach here. Have plenty of feed to fatten them.” “I have made some unusual shipments,” said Mr. Scott yesteréay, “but this sur- prises me. I could hardly belieye the order at first, but soon found that it was gen- uine, and there was no mistake in num- bers. It came from a wealthy commission firm in Cape Town through a London house. “The _cost of the fowls and eggs will be over $5,000. The freight charges I have not estimated. We will select the choicest chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and pig- eons that can be found, and put them in crates. Fifty bushels of ground corn will be placed aboard, and a man sent along to feed and water the lot. He will have plenty to do on the voyage from New York to London, and the much longer one from London to Cape Town. Forty days will be required to make the trip. “I have made many shipments of live fowls to Cuba, Jamaica and the Centrai American states, but this is the first to South Africa. I can’t imagine what is wanted of American birds unless for Christ- mas dinners. I guess that explains the de- mand for chickens and turkeys. “Barnyard fowls must be extremely searce In South Africa to cause an order to Americt. Those turkeys will be worth mere than $5 apiece in Cape Town when cost and freight are reckoned, and the chickens from $2 to $ each.” There was considerable interest among commission merchants yesterday on ac- count of Scott & Co.’s unusual order, and the shipment next Tuesday will be closely watched. isa long and hard one. It is much easier to get that a careless servant must be in fault. Hot water or rough handling was always the cause of the breakage of the old-fash- jloned Hint glass goblets. The difference be- tween the old and the new kinds of tum- blers seeme to be in the haste with which The molecules of the glass in this case have no chance to arrange themselves in Itnes of least strain, so that every new-fashioned tumbler is filled with torsion stresses tend- ing to fracture its substance with any slight external sii—as, ‘or example, the ecol air from un open window striking the proximate sides of the tumblers set on a dining room table. Of course, the advan- tage of using the new kind of tumblers is that their cost ts only one-fifth or one-sixth of the old kind. Looking at the matter more broadly, the tendency of the new glasses to spontaneous fracture is only another illustration of crystalline degener- ation. Herbert Spencer, in perhaps the most fascinating chapter on evolution which he has ever written, points out that all substances which have been rendered colloid by the application of heat sooner or later radiate this heat, which has been acting as a cement between the molecules, and become crystalline. Mr. Spencer gives 4s illustrations of this process the igneous rocks in their various stages, from molten lava to granite, and jam, which becomes gritty when kept too long, owing to the crystallization of the contained sugar. —_—_-see. Gold im Corea for Americans. From the Pall Mall Gazette. The British consul at Seoul, Mr. Jordan, who recently made 2 very interesting jour- ney in the interior of Corea, states that it ecntains a large supply of mineral wealth, especially in the Ping-yang province—there are also reported to be rich gold mines in the southern part of Hoang-hai—which may play an important part in the future development of the new port. “Placer” gold mining is carried on very largely in the northern portion of the Ping-yan prov- ince, in the tributary streams of the Ta- tong and Yalu rivers, and in 1895, the Corean government granted a concession to work gold in the district of Wonsan— not to be confounded with the treaty port —a tract of about twenty-five square miles, situated about 100 miles north of Ping-yan city, to an American syndicate. There are about a dozen foreign engineers resident at present; a mill has been set up, and at the time of his visit to Ping- yang the manager was awaiting with some anxiety the. result of the first crushings. When the Americans first took possession of their concession they encountered con- siderable opposition from the local “placer” miners, who naturally objected to what they considered a violation of their natural rights. The syndicate was prac- tically boycotted, no workmen could be ob- paid to the Corean miners are forty cents a manager of the professes himself perfectly satisfied the organization was authority from Con- gress.

It turned ont that the vessel was only slightly damaged by the collisfon and was not responsible for it, whereupon the governor of Michigan changed his mind and concluded to accept the gift of the Navy Department to the Michigan naval militia without conditions. ——S PROCEEDS OF THE SALE. Mr. Vanderlip Goes to New York to Make Arrangements. Assistart Secretary Vanderlip has gone to\New York to arrange for receiving from the reorganization commijttee of the Union Pacific railroad the proceeds of the recent sale. Mr. Vanderlip’s purpose is to effect the transfer with as little disturbance of the money market as possible. Several of the New York banks have signified their willingness to accept on temporary deposit a share cf the whole amount to be placed, and agree to furnish the necessary in- demnity bond, but the aggregate of’ these offers is only about $20,000,000. As the pro- posed arrangement is solely in the interest of a stable money market, it is assumed that the whole amount will be accepted. ————o+—___ SILVER HEELS ESCAPED. The Montgomery and Annapolis, Fail- ed to Sight Her. Sy ‘The Navy Department is officially ad- vised of the failure of its efforts to inter- cept the alleged filibustering schooner Sil- ver Heels off the coast of Florida. The cruisers Montgomery and: Annapolis; which went in search of her in the vicinity. of the Bahamas, have reported their return to Key West without having sighted the ma- rine suspect. It is believed in naval circles that the Silver Heels either sailed directly to Cuba by the outside passage or that she transferred her arms and ammunition to the steamer Dauntléss or some other vessel somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. This case may be used by the Spanish gov-. ernment as a basis of a claim against the United States. y ———ese___. CONSUL AT GRENOBLE, —L s George B. Andersesi ofthe District Appoidteai « George B.

The two boys arrested were Raymond Murphy and William F. Mathews, well bred, gentlemanly looking little fellows. It appears that a fruit venders’ stand was overturned, when the two boys named ran when the streets were alive with thousands in the station house, without even the for- mality of an “information,” as there was not a particle of evidence against them. ——— Convicts Sent to Trenton. “The following District convicts were Frison at Trenton: Andrew Gettings, lar- ceny from the person, three years; Chas.

Wheeler, bigamy, four years: Charles Hewlett, housebreaking, two years; James Sharp, alias Smith, housebreaking, two years. ——————— Officers Not Needed. A messenger boy called at police head- quarters this afternoon and stated that a policeman was needed at a house on E street northwest near the corner of 3d street. When officers from the sixth pre- cinct arrived there was nothing for them to do. It was learned that several men employed by a loca! installment firm had taken a carpet from the floor of a house in the neighborhood and had experienced a little trouble with the occupants of the dwelling. No arrests were made.- ——— Question Quickly Answered. “Pushing the can” is an established cus- tom, but. throwing the tin receptable is something new. James Downs, a small colored boy, was charged with the latter offense this afternoon in the Police Court. After a long argument, dwelling on the fact that one witness had testified to one thing and another to something entirely different, John Moss of Hillsdale, who ap- peared as attorney for the boy, with a dra- matic gesture, concluded: “Your honor, now where do we stand?” “Two dollars fine,” quietly remarked his honor. And the spectators smiled. —_.—_—_ Milly’ Case Appenied.
