Ii ALL BND) A firm at Annistou, Ala,, has just ' closed a contract to furnish water pipo to the City of Tokio, Japan. English, German aud Belgian manu? facturers were in competition for tho contract, but despite this fact it was awarded ADniston, and the figures at which it was taken will afford a good profit, Tho Baltimore Sun. iu refer? ring to this matter, has the following to say: 4,Wheu Anuiston, Ala., is able to supply Tokio, Jnpau, with water pipe at a profit, in competitiou with English, German aud Belgian bidders, how foolish and ineincero seem the dolorous wails sent up from that quar? ter in 189o when it wbb proposed to re? move tho duty from iron ore and pig, No protection was needed, it is olear, since Anniaton can pay freight on its water pipe to Tokio, vio Liverpool,aud yet underbid all competitors."

An interpreter named Samuel A-Ha-Tone stood alongside of thu mighty warrior on the platform and sandwiched his English versions in be? tween tho guttural sounds of the chief.
