l-.as transmitted to the state department
a translation of an article which re-
at!y appeared in a German publica
tion hearing upon Russian-American
trade and the exportation of American
machinery to Russia in particular. The
article says:
"The increase in the trade of the TJnit
eJ States with Russia is noticeable.
This is due to the cordial relations which
exist between these two countries and
t the less friendly attitude of Russian
merchant towards the manufactures of
other countries. The greater part of the
.nir-rs for the Siberian railway has
l-.-en placed in the United States. An
nher large order amounting to $595,000
i'i value has just been placed in Amer

T..t far from Charbin in Manchuria.
The tunnel is to be finished In one year's

A CABLE ERROR.
Found to Be Responsible for Ckarges
Against Rev. Mr. Ament
Boston, Feb. 21. Rev. Judson Smith.
D. D.. foreign secretary of the Ameri
can Board, announced that on February
lis he sent this dispatch to Rev. Ament,
of Pekin:
"Ament, Ptkin: Reported December
24 jour collecting thirteen times actual
losses, using fcr propagating the gospel.
Are these statements true' Cable spe
cific answer."
Dr. Smith has received the following
replv, dated PeKin. February 39:
f tatements untrue. Collected one
third for church expenses, additional ac
tual damages: now supporting widows
and orphans. Publication thirteen times
blunder cable. All collections received
approval Chinese officials, who are urg
ing further eettlements same line.
Ament." ,
Dr Smith says: "Trie officers of the
board axe perfectly clear that the error
in the original newspaper dispatch
which accused Ament of collecting thir
teen times the amount of losses arose
from the omission of the fractional line
in 1-3, making it 13. From Dr. Ament's
letter, publishel yesterday, it appears
that the living Christian Chinese have
had all their losses made good and the
damages of which one-third have been
collected for support of widows and
orphans represent the losses of the Chi
nese converts who were slain, the
church purposes' referred to being iden
tical with 'supporting widows and or
phans." " t
TEDDY III CHICAGO.
The Colonel Leaves at 2 O'clock
For His Ilome.
Chicago, Feb. 21. Col.Theodore Roose
velt, apparently enjoying the best of
health, arrived here at 7:45 a. m. today
in a special car attached to the San
Francisco and Portland express limited
of the Chicago & Greatwestern railroad.
He greeted the newspaper reporters
briskly and then hurried to a carriage
which was waiting for him. He was
driven to the Auditorium annex where
he took breakfast.
The trip from Colorado Springs, he
said, had been without incident. While
the rough rider colonel was dining at
the hotel his private car was witched to
the Lake Shore depot to be attached tos
the fast mail leaving at 2 p. m.
WANTS A REVISION.
Li Hung Chang Thinks the Decalogue
la Imperfect.
New Tork, Feb. 21. J. Martin Miller
of this city, who has Just prrived. hav
ing reached Kngland from China, by
way of Ceylon, said in an interview:
" I attended two sales of loot in the
boxers' palace which the Rev. Dr. Ament
occupied in Pekin. after the relief by the
allies. Dr. Ament took possession of the
treasures which he found there, held
sales and kept account of the proceeds
crediting them against the claims which
he makes for mission property destroyed.
Much ci' the loot was bought by an
American speculator of Shanghai.
"I had an interview with Li Hung
Chang, which indicated that he was pre
paring to offset the claims of the pow
ers for indemnity by giving an account
of the loot taking. His excellency was
in very good humor.
'I have just had the Christian com
mandments read to me," he said through
his interpreter, "and I think they need
revising. The eighth commandment
should be made to read: 'Thou :ihalt
not steal, but thou mayst loot.'
"It has been said that your excellency
is favoring Russia in the negotiations
because you have an understanding
with that country and are to be the
governor of Manchuria," I suggested.
"I am simply grateful Lo Russia for
having withdrawn her troops," his excel
lency replied.
Speaking of his visit to Ceylon, Mr.
Miller said:
"Up in the hills at an elevation of
3.500 feet In a delightful ciimate and in
a fine sanitary situacion I saw the en
campment where 4,700 Boer prisoners
were confined within a series of high
barbed wire fences.
"There were two or three hundred
Americans among them and those I
talked with seemed to owe their plight
to having gone to South Africa rather
from a love of adventure than from any
sympathy with the Boer cause. They
have a good deal of liberty.
"There does not appear to be any
great desire among the Boers for the
war to end, so that they can go home,
and they appear to be fairly contented.
Boer officers are at liberty, being re
quired only to report themselves twice
a week." i

GRATTAH SATISFIED.
Says
New Text Book Law is
Better Than None.
Chairman Grattan, of the education
committee, who drew the school text
book bill when asked if the present
status of it, amended out of all recogni
tion to its original self, was satisfactory
replied:,
"It is better than nothing 'and better
than the old law."
As to the point made in debate by
Crosby, of Cheyenne, that if this bill
failed of enactment the Populist law of
1S97 would stand, Grattan said the book
trust would be pleased to see Crosby's
contention accepted and no new law be
enacted this term. Mr. Grattan said:
'The 1S07 act made the term of the
commission 4 years from April, S9T,
and says 'at the expiration of w hich time
the powers and duties of tills commis
sion shall cease." It. also provides that
the lite of a contract made by this com
mission shall be five years from the
date thereof. The act providing penal
ties for its violation says in substance
that any member of the commission
herein established violating any of the
provisions of this act shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon conviction
shall be fined and forfeit his office.
'"At the special session of ISliS a law
was passed to the effect that the term
of office of such commission shall be
four years from April, '97, and at the
expiration of their term of office and
each succeeding term the governor shall
appoint suitable persons as members. It
also provides that at the expiration of
any contract the commission shall make
new contracts. The above is the sub
stance of the '97 and 'SS law.
"The constitution says that no law
shall be revived or amended unless the
new act contains the entire act revived,
or the. section or sections amended and
the section or sections so amended be
repealed.
"On the above law my judgment is
that the act of 1S97 has not been revived
and amended as the constitution de
clares shall be done. Hence the Grattan
bill sought to cover the entire law by re
enacting it that the crimes act part
thereof as well as all otheis of its pro
visions should be valid . beyond any
question. My fear is that the old law is
not legally extended so that the courts
would uphold it, and if not upheld uni
formity would end September 1, 1902,
the time of the expiration of present
contracts and this is exactly what the
enemies of state uniformity would be
pleased to see brought about."
An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Strip of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fis Syktjp Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining-the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them it- the form most refreshing- to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening- laxa
tive, cleansing- the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling-one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionaWe quality and sub
stance, and its acting- on the kidneys,
liver and boweis, without weakenfng
or irritating: them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing1 fig's

ARCTIC EXPLOKER BACK.
Dr. Cook Hag Been Attending Meet
ing of Scientists in Belgium.
New York. Feb. 21. Dr. Frederick A.
Cook, the arctic explorer, has just re
turned on the Oceanic from a visit to
Belgium. In Brussels he attended a
meeting of more than a hundred scien
tists interested in the recent Belgian ex
pedition toward the north pole. Ail of
them contributed something for report
of the venture being published by the
Belgian government. This report said
the explorer, is the official record of the
expedition, the story of which has al
ready been published. One of them con
tributed contains a vocabulary of
30,000 words of the Yahgan language,
the tongue of the inhabitants of Terra
del Fuego.
Three antarctic expeditions are now
being fitted out on the other side. The
one from England will start in August,
going south of Australia, and the Ger
man explorers are to start at about the
same time. The Swedish expedition will
leave that country later.
Dr. Cook is not going with any of
them. He has been exploring for years,
and now means to rest.
Dr. Cook said that the Belgian gov
ernment would present 30 sets of the
report to various institutions in this
country, among them Harvard and
Yale.
Another passenger on the Oceanic was
J. A. Farquhar. of Halifax, the owner
of tne steamship Newfoundland, which
was captured by the Mayflower during
the war with Spain, then hauled into
Charleston harbor, condemned and
finally released. Still another passenger
was Corporal Cronyin, iate of Strath
eona's horse.

MOKE COALING STATIONS.
Government Will Establish Several
in Near Future.
New York, Fib. 21. According to a
Washington special to the Herald. Rear
Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau
of equipment, has postponed his plans for
the establishment of new coaling stations
immediately after the appropriation au
thorized in the pending naval appropria
tion act becomes' available
Seven hundred thousand dollars will be
appropriated. A part of this likely will
be applied to the improvement of Amer
ican coaling facilities in Cuba. Rear Ad
miral Bradford also has in mind the lo
cation of a station in Chiriqui lagoon,
Colombia. He has approved the plans for
stations at Narragansett bnv and at Ma
nila. He also desires to establish s.ations
at San Diego, Cat: Sitka. Alaska' Una
la.ska and one in JPorto KIcan wa'ers or
at St. Thomas. -
The department seems to have given up
all intention of establishing a station on
the coast of Liberia because of the ab
sence of a convenient harbor in those
waters. Rear Admiral Bradford recently
called attention to the , necessity of the
navy establishing more coaling stations.

Speaker is Severely Criticised in a G.
A. It. .Meeting
New York, Feb. 21. A meeting of "The
War Veterans and Sons association"was
held last night in Brooklyn at which
Gen. Geo. B. Loud, department inspector
of the state spoke on "Washington." In
introducing Gen. Loud Joseph W. Kav,
chairman of the committee on legisla
tion of the Grand Army took occasion
to speak on the question of preference of
members of the G. A. R. for minor posi
tions in the employ of the government
Mr. Kay said that it was a sad com
mentary on the name and fame of
Washington himself the synonym of
Justice that congress should, during 35
years following the civil war have been
appealed to ever in vain to give a rea
sonable preference in the minor positions
in the public service, to veterans of the
greatest war of history. Mr. Kay sain-
"This rang injustice, emphacised and
conveyed in the flat footed refusal on
the 11th of this month, by the speaker
of the house of representatives to, in th
exercise of his discretion, permit the
house to give one hour to a proper con
sideration of this subject before the final
adjournment of the Fifty-sixth congress
is almost beyond belief."
WIRELESS MESSAGE
Successfully Sent to Shore From a
Vessel 13 Miles Away.
New York, Feb. 21. The steamship
Georgice, which arrived last night from
Liverpool has on board as passenger a
Mr. Shoreman who had charge of the ex
periments with wireless telephone on the
Georgice off Browhead. Mr. Shoreman
said that he sent messages to Browhead
from a distance of over 13 miles and re
ceived replies but could not receive mes
sages further than that owing to the
fact that the rolling of the ship some
what disarranged his instruments. He
does not us the Marconi, but a system
invented by Col. Henry Montague Hos
ier, secretary of Lloyd, London, and Mr
Nevil Maskelyline of the Egyptian hall.
Piccadilly, London.
The instrument on the vessel was at
tached to the metal of the ship and con
nected with wires which were atached to
fore and aft stays of the steamers. The
influence which conveys the message in
wirelei-s telegraphy is able to pass read
ily through msulars as are in glass
but is absorbed to a very great extent
by all conductive material, especially
by sheet metals.

union of the fifth district last night,
which lasted late into the morning at
the Grand Pacific" hotel, an agreement
was reached for, the coming year which
was said to be satisfactory to both
sides.
It is understood that the conference
was called by the heads pf a number of
large machine shops as a. result of in
formation they had obtained to the
effect that dissatisfaction existed among
machinists and that there would be a
concerted movement on their part at
the coming spring conference to abro

the price paid for peace among the in
terest to be gathered in is known it is
impossible to judge whether it is high or
low.
All will depend upon the management
which must be broad and tactful Crowd
ing prices would be fateful in many
ways. Leading men point out that the
true policy must be to secui e. economics
and share them with the consumers. In
other words, the plan must be to per
sistently lower prices. With control of
everything from the ground up there
will be little excuse cf fluctuations, and
a steadying of the market must be a
natural result, if it were not that the
situation in steel billets is peculiar, one
of the first steps should be a lowering
in the price, which would do much to
allay public apprehension.
FIGHTS AMERICAN LEAGUE.
National Baseball Magnates Will
Deal With Players Direct.
New York, Feb. 21. There is a mova
ment afloat among the stars of the Na
tional league, says a World special from
Baltimore, to form a combination sim
ilar to the one by which the players of
the Baltimore club in 1897 compelled the
club owners to concede the demands of
all before any would sign. It is ex
pected that the national league mag
nates will now concede, the demands' of
the Players' Protective association r.nd
this organization will then order the
league players to sign their contracts.
This would prevent the lc-ogue players
from accepting increased salaries offer
ed to them by the American clubs. Then
the new combine is to become operative
and the "star combine" is to hold out
for increased salaries.
Captain Joe Kelley of the Brooklyns,
who is in it. admits that tiiere nas been
a vast amount of correspondence on the
subject and the project is all ready.
