The Electric Starch is the only starch in the
United States that is put up by men who
have practical knowledge of the laundry

iron from sticking and linen from bistering

agreed to recommend the granting of q

Germany and America.

The report circulated in Berlin a few days
ago that Bismarck had favorablv entertained
a proposition to sustain Mexican finances
with the view of extending Germany's colo
NAL influence, serves to direct attention to
other events that seem to indicate desire on
the part of the German Empire to establish
its power in regions on this side of tue At
lsntic. A great part of the wholesale and
importing trade of Mexico is in the hands of
Germans. Some of the German business
houses in Mexico were founded fifty or sixtv
years ago. The presence of many German
traders in Mexico has tended to establish be-
tween the two countries more intimate rela-
tons than otherwise could have existed. 1t
is said that in 1868 secret treaty with Ger
many was negotiated bv Mexico. In 1888 it
was stated bv Col. Linderman, of Philadel-
phia, who was interested in negotiations
which terminated with the sale Of 900 600
acres of land in the State of Zacatecas, that
the purchasers of this land were acting as
agents Of Bismarck and the German Govern.
ment, and that 100000 acres more were
to be bought. Upon this land Bismarck de-
sired, it was announced. to build uD Ger
man Colony. Now it is said by persons who
ought to know what is going on that the Ger
man Government proposes to establish in
Mexico colonies of Germans who shall be
allowed to govern themselves.
Bismarck may have his eye on Central
America as well as Mexico Not long ago
Germany took possession of certain islands
and of parts of other islands in the Pacific.
For some time German rulers have coveted
Cuba Rect mt rum0rs have ascribed to Bis
marck an intention to get possession of one
of the small West India islands. An engi
neer was sent not long ago to choose sites
fpr fortjfpatlops IN German for in rho
Pacific islands he came to Nicaragua, and it
is believed that he is trying to find out how
good bargain Germany can get in The shape
of An interoceanic canal concession. Mica
ragua has not been very successful in her
dealings with the United States concerning a
canal She may be willing to entertain pro
posals from Bismarck. The condition
of the Panama undertaking s gen
orally regarded as hopeless by disin-
terested persons who are familiar with the
subject. If an attempt should be made to
build a canal in Nicaragua under German
auspices, the history of the Panama canal
would not be repeated there.
If Germany could control islands on the
Atlantic eide of the isthmus as well as others
on the Pacific side, and also canal, the way
would be open for such an extension of tIade
as those long to see who are striving to make
Germany great commercial power. This
may have occurred to persons who have fol-
lowed the course of the German war vessels
that have been cruising for months in the
Caribbean Sea. ami from which thousand
men were landed few days ago at St Thorn
as, where the inhabitants were entertained by
a sham fight. If it be true that Germany is
making an inquiry concerning the Nicaragua
caaal route, her activity should not be entire
ly ignored in Congressional committee
rooms-N. Y Times.

Buffers Purchase of a Hand Or

l heard yesterday the first true version OF
the monkey and hand organ story which has
been privately told in army circles here now
and then, but not always correctly. A Treas
ury official said well, General Butler. |
have no doubt these accounts are all right,
and if you will explain satisfactorily one other
item will pass them. Here is charge of
$50 for a hsnd-organ and monkey. Now,
what possible use = hsnd-organ and monkey
would be to the United States Government,
or to YOU as its General, | connot see ="
General Butler then told the following: at
was the hottest time of nv campaign about
Baltimore. The rebels were very close
mouthed, and | could get no inside doings of
the rebels. One day | saw great crowd
gathering round a man with a hand-organ
who had a very large monkey. As | drew
nearer | noticed that the man playing the
organ looked very much like smart Irish
man whom | had smong my soldiers. | said
nothing. but went back to my headquarters,
and calling up the Irishmsn. in whom | had
perfect confidence, | gave him some money
and told him to go and buy out the musician.
He did so He bought the hand-organ, the
monkey and the musicians clothes, and paid
$50 for them. Dressed in these I sent him
out rs spy. He travelled all the surround
ing country and gave me some verv valuable
information. This information was worth
thousands of dollars to the United States
Government, and" concluded General But
