What the difficulty worse for British pro- s, he continuey, was that Germany, having bought largely from America in the spring and summer, became alarmed | and resold in England at reduced figures, | also placing iron and steel on the market |in competition with American manufac- | turers. . | “As indicative of the general acknowl- | edgment of the crisis in the metal trades, Consul Fleming quotes from Edinburgh | papers, which state that “the iron and | steel trades have gome from us”: “the | outlook is appalling”; “the question of foreign competition in’the metal trades is | the problem before the country in the new century,” and other expressions of alarm | at_the outlook | The press in general, says Mr. Fleming, | blames the manufacturers for not adopt- | ing labor-saving machinery in all branches of production where it can be introduced, and also blames the workmen for their hostility te all labor-saving the last made | undisguised | devices. | As to the lack of practical instruction in | the industrial arts, the Consul states: “It is the accepted opinion here that in the matter of technical education Great | Britain is far behind the United States and Germany.” On this subject also the Consul trans- mits newspaper articles eulogizing the lib- eraiity of rich American citizens in the | founding and endowment of institutions | for the acquirement of such an education, | and declaring that this generosity on the | part of wealthy Americans is a potent fac- | tor In_the eaucational development of the United States. 5 Consul Fleming concludes his report with a comprehensive review of the fuel question. 'he British manufacturer, he says, may not give due weight to the technical advice and notes of warning which come from his “able instructors in the public press, but he cannot shut his eyes to the meaning of $350 coal. Mr. Fleming points out that all coal deposits in Great Britain are known and that there are few fields that have not been worked for a long time. Nearly one-fourth of the output last vear was exported. and the opinion begins to prevail that this amount is entirely too great to send away, in view of the limit which production apparently bas reached. llam A.

Sl Resolution Passed Requesting Secre- tary of War to Furnish MacAr- thur’'s Report on Condi- tions in Philippines. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—An ineffectual effort was made in the Senate to-day to secure an agreement .upon a time for a final vote upon the shipping bill. Vig- orous protests wers made by opponents of the measure against any such agree- ment even for, a Gate in the indefinite future. Pritchard (Rep.) of North Carolina spoke to-day in support of the shipping bill and then the naval appropriation biil was considered the rest of the day, the shipping bill being laid aside informally. Soon after the Senate convened a reso- lution previously offered by Pettigrew calling on the Secretary of War for a copy of General MacArthur’'s report as to the conditions in the Phfllflvmes and for other papers relating to the Philippines was adopted. At the instance of Frye of Maine con- sideration of the shipping bill was then resumed, and Frye made an appeal to the Senate that a_time be fixed for the Yote upon the pending measure. He said he was exceedingly desirous for a vote. Personally he had no more desire for night sessions than any other Senator. | He hoped that th: Senate might agree upon some time for a vote—a time far enough off to permit the necessary lat- itude for proper debate. Jones of Arkansas said he did not think that at this time any agreement could be made for a vote. Hale of Maine said he could understand perfectly the views of those opposed to the measure, but he believed the Senate would be indulgent, as it always had been, with Senators who desire to prepare speeches upon the measure. He suggested that the Senate bear in mind that the pending measure was in effect a political measure, and that the majority would have to assume the responsibility for it.| He did not belleve there was any desire to fllibuster against the bill. Tillman of South Carolina expressed his admiration for the *‘wisdom and diplo- macy always exhibited by the Senator from Maine” (Hale), and for the *‘placid way in which he had attempted to smooth troubled waters herc.” fie inquired, how- ever, how the Senators could prepare speeches when they were now under full head of steam from 7 o'clock in the morn- ing until 11 o’clock at night. Hale believed that those who desired to prepare speeches would find time to do so. The shipping bill, without objection, was laid aside temporarily in order that the naval appropriation bill might be can- sidered. An ameniment was agreed to providing that the promotion of officers of the navy and marine corps, made on account of war services, shall not inter- fere with the regular promotion of offi- cers. An amendment inyvolving the length of the course of study at the naval academy brought on a long discussion. The Sen- ate committee had stricken out the House provision that the naval-cadets who had completed their four regular courses at the academy should be commissioned as naval officers at once. Hale explained that by the House provision 142 officers would be “dumped” into the navy at one time at the foot of the list, thus creating what was known technically as a "humg" in the list. This “hump” would stop the promotion of the younger officers. It was not expected, -Hale . that officers should be provided immediately for all the war vessels authorized. If such a plan were followed it would cost $100,000,000 a ar for the navy. Chandler, a former Secretary of the Navy, said that no greater mistake could be made than to reduce the cadet course from six years to four years, as the Housa had done. Without action the Senate, after a brief executive session, at § p. m. adjourned. \ MINISTER WU TING FANG IS IN BAD GRACES Exceeded His Right as an Official ‘When He Criticized the Acts of General Otis. WASHINGTON, Feb, 8.—For the first time since his residence here Mr. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister to the United States, is in the bad graces of the American Government. There is a gen- eral opinion in administration circles that Mr. Wu went too far and violated his rights as a foreign representative when he criticized Major General E. 8. Otis, in a letter declining to attend the dinner to General Otis_given by the Soclety of Genesee in New York last night. Mr. Wu's statements that General Otis “committed an egregious error’” the Philippines and that acted upon the ill advice of some one,” are resented by high officials, one of whom declared that Mr. Wu had made a ‘‘bad break, the might tarnish an otherwise brilliant dip- lomatic career.” So far no action has been taken by the Government in regard to the letter. It was hinted to-day that somebody weuld make a complaint against Mr. Wu. In that event the Government would feel | compelled to do something. DR A CONSTABLE KILLS WOMAN.

Jexander surrendered himself to the au- thorities and to save him from threatened Iynching he was placed in the Territorial izrlson for safe keeping.

G. Baldwin ‘has accepted the pastorate of the new Congregational church at Palo Alto. Rev. F. J.
