CONSULAR NOTES.

Consul General Prlngle is spending few
days in the city.
Consul General Williams, OF Havana,
has returned to his post.
Consul General Porch's report on the
coffee culture In Mexico, published In No.
II, will prove Of much value to all inter
ested In that product.
Consul Stewart has returned to Washing
ton from New York, He will leave in a
few days for his old home In Plttsburg, and,
after short sojourn there, will sail for
Antwerp.
Consul Lorning and wife, Of Bremen,
bave been spending few days in Washing
ton. They were very kindly received at
the White house and entertained and
were entertained great deal while here.
Consul Bird, of Laguayra, reports to the
Department Of State that recent important
changes in the tariff Of Venezuela effec-
tually prohibit the importation of foreign
lumber into that country. Printed In
No. II.
Consul Eckstein reports that extensive
preparations are being made at Amsterdam
to Introduce Russian petroleum into Hol-
land. He fears that the enterprise may
affect the consumption Of American petro-
leum In that country.
Consul Herring, OF Tegucigalpa,
Honduras, has made short, but interest
ing report TO the Department Of State, con
cerning the cultivation OF rita fiber, of Hon
duras. The report is published in No. Il.
Consular reports, No. II, opens with an
exhaustive and valuable report Of Consul
Malmros, Of Leith, concerning the cost Of
manufacturing and producing woolens,
papers, minerals, and agricultural products
In Scotland.
Consul Goodwin, OF Annaberg, reports
that gradual decline In the tobacco cul-
ture OF Germany continues, and that the
number Of planters and acres will become
smaller year after year as long as the agita-
| tion for government control OF the industry
is kept up.
It has turned out as we predicted. Min
ister Manning has been more sinned
| against than ginning; in fact, SO much
sinned against that he proposes to put the
full penalty Of the law upon those who
have attempted to tarnish his good name
| by circulating malicious reports concerning
| his conduct at the Mexican capital. Let
no guilty man escape.
Consul Grlnnell, of Bradford, reports,
concerning the worsted industry, that Eng!
land, In proportion to her population and
| wealth, is less heavily taxed than Germany
and and: France; that she is not burdened with
compulsory military service, which is i'm
posed upon all men In Germany and France
for.three to five years, and that food is at least
| as cheap In England as In Germany and
much cheaper than In France. These
things account, in part at least, for the ad-
vaptageous position of England in hei
manufacturing industries.
