at Berlin communicates an interest
ing report of the American exhibits
at the exhibition at Berlin of Leather
Industries. The great feature was
the display of American machinery,
comprising a full and complete set of
all the most approved shoemakers'
tools, apparatus and supplies, which
operated by twenty-five operatives,
turned out boots and shoes as in the
factories in the United States. The
display was from the factory Of S.
Wolf, of Mayence. There are now
forty factories in Germany using the
American machinery, with an aver
age daily production of fourteen
thousand pairs. The report says
that if the American tanners were to
give their work a better finish the
trade in American leather. would be
a permanent and decided success.

MIR. Sherman, in the speech de.
Hvered in Mansfield some weeks age
incidentally referred to the great
saving that had been effected since
the advent of the new Administra-
ton by cutting down the force in the
several departments, and especially
in the Bureau of Printing and En-
craving, where sos useless persons
were found on the pay rolls. The
st. Louis Republican identifies these
as the friends of Mr.. Randall, whom
the obliging Mr.. McCartee put on
his pay rolls, and who were retained
even after Mr.. Randall's committee
had gone through all the depart
ments in search of persons whose
services could be dispensed with.

The Russian losses in killed and
wounded from the commencement
Of the war up to September 9th are
officially acknowledged to have been
fifty-two thousand. Further particu-
lars of the battle before Kars show
that the advantage is with the Turks,
the Russian attack along the whole
line having been repulsed with heavy
loss, which the Turks estimate at
five thousand, and the Russians
acknowledged to be 3,061. The
success claimed by the Russians as a
victory in the capture of Great Yagni
did not compensate for the failure at
other points, and the positions carri-
ed have since been abandoned, the
Russians say because of the diff
Guilty of obtaining water, while the
Turks claim the affair as a Turkish
victory, being complete repulse of
the Russians along the whole line
and leaving the Turks in possession
of the field Of battle, covered with
the Russian dead. The attacking
force comprised 80 battallions of in
fantry and 8 regiments Of cavalry,
commanded in person by the Grand
Duke Michael. Moukhtar Pasha
reports a continuation of the struggle
and he has every confidence ofsuccess.
The Russian report is that two
assaults of Moukhtar Pasha on
Thursday were repulsed. The cores
pOndent of the London NelCs says
of the battle on Thursday: 1.-THE
Turks seeing that Keziltepe was
surrounded and his communications
being endangered, advanced with
twenty battalions against the Rus
sian centre. They were received
with crushing artillery fire, and
were driven back to Soubatan utterly

to flight"

Austin has had ''lion" on hand
for the past few days in the person of

in expressions Of their admiration of
his qualities both as a soldier and a
citizen, showing a full appreciation
of the honor of his visit; but the fav-
orable impression of our General evil
IDENTIFY was not created by outside
appearances, if we can correctly
judge from the following from the
Statesmen General Ord was in the
city yesterday to confer with Gov
ernor Hubbard. He is an eminently
peaceable looking man in any event.
His whole toggery and outfit when
he leaped from the stage-coach yes
terday morning at the Raymond
House, did not cost over So. He wore
a blue cotton shirt worth 40 cents,
even at rates that would be fixed by
an sole clio" man. The Generals
hat was absolutely villianously
smashed, shocking and ancient, and
his coat and breeches correspondent
with his other articles of apparel.
Nobody would have dreamed that a
famous soldier of the regular army
could be enveloped in so modest a
garb. He is evidently not the man
to blow his own horn or to spout like
a whale. He would evince no anxiety
for conflict with Mexico, even if he
felt it, and he will do nothing to pre-
cipitate it Or render it unavoidable.
He is a wise and discreet soldier, rep

The exports of fresh beef and NUT
ton and live stock are beginning to
attain remarkable proportions for a
trade so sudden in its origin. The
total exports of beef for the year 1876
up to October l were 1890, S95
pounds, valued at 81 ,755, 1911. For
the same period during the present
year these exports have amounted to
S6,132,73O pounds, with a value OF
SS,184, 359, an increase of450 per cent.
in single year. Last year there
was no expectation of live stock at
all. For the nine months of the pres
ent wear. this export has reached H.
200 hundred head of cattle, valued
at 81 ,199, 517. The total expectation
of this class of meats, living and
slain, has thus attained for the nine
months, ending October l, the total
of Sl0,5 1860 against 81, 755, 19l for
the same period last year. Adding
miscellaneous shipments of horses,
&C., to other parts, and the grand
total reaches the sum of S11, 226,590
