DREAD OF THE FUTURE.

Unless the Italians are submissive More
Blood VIII Likely BE Shed.
WASHINGTON, March II. - Among
Congressman and diplomats who have
given such matters some attention, is
not thought the massacre Of the several
Italian subjects can became mat
ter for international consideration,
or complication between Italy and
the United States. The men, it j.
said. were not murdered as italians
and the only reparation that can he OBJ
tanned, is possibly, damages by the wives
or relatives of the dead Italian subjects
from the municipal government of New
Orleans for protecting the persons of in
dividuals-aliens-w at the time they
met their death, were temporarily at
least in the custody of the municipal
authorities of that city.
Great fear is felt here by former resi-
dents of New Orleans, now Ill Washing
ton, that the race troubles are not at an
end there yet, and it is freely predicted
that at the first overt act on the part of
Sicilians the Italian quarter will be
sacked. The police hate the Italians,
and would be of no use in suppressing
an outbreak against them, The Italians
and all that strange mass Of people
from foreign Mediterranean seaports,
which is so large an element of the
foreign quarter of New Orleans who
are commonly called "dagoes," are all
armed, and will fight like wild cats with
that strange fury that upon occasion
characterized mobs of the Latin race,
mad with fury and fright.
1t will be an awful fight if it does
come. The meddling of the Italian
consul and his threats, have greatly
embittered the sentiment against the
whole race. The Italian priests are
peace makers, but are powerless, The
next fortnight is full of peril Mayor

councilmen, they say, are marked for

Facilities at Present Against Us.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Nery few
realize that for the past five years the
imports of the United States from
South America have been two and three
seventh times our exports to the nations
of that continent,
That if the years be selected in which
there were the greatest imports from the
several nations of Latin-America and
the years i'll which there We're the great
est exports the former would exceed the
latter two and three-fourth times.
brazilian Imports.
From Brazil in 1870 we imported
1862, 766 free merchandise and $24,e9S,
453 dutiable. This had changed in 1897
to $45, III ,595 free and S6,192, 405 duti-
able, and in 1887 to 81 ,016, ,413 free and
$5, $40, 103 dutiable But not only is this
true of Brazil, but Of the products of
Venezuela, Colombia, Argentine Repub-
lie, Chill and to a less extent of other
South American nations.
In 1887 Ecuador brought to our ports
ST. 13l 1863 in merchandise, aud only S1H5
of it was dutiable.
Our markets have been free to South
American nations. In case of q single
product entering our ports free of duty.
Brazil placed upon 1t an port duty
practically reaping our own revenue.
Despite our shipping facilities our own
and the European vessels brought from
two and one-half to two and three
fourth times the merchandise from
South America as we exported to the
nations of that continent. The facts are
Just as true of Central America and
Mexico.
Our OnIy Resort.
Reciprocity was our only resort.
From 1885, the beginning of the Pre- ent
movement for an expansion of our
southern trade, to the 1890, the percent
age Of increase ON exports has been 4j.5
On imports 3G.5.
Brazil, of all South American nations,
is probably in the best condition for
commercial alliances. Here, as in all
Latin American nations, business is
credit-long credit. But coffee, fresh
meat and fish and mechanical products
are cash. SO the imports, salt, lumber,
petroleum, copper, lead, iron, is cash or

Shipping Facilities Needed.
A certain firm in Pennsylvania, manu-
featuring iron chain, applied to the bu-
reau of in-Americ&n republics for in
formation as to the importation and
duties of iron chain i'll Brazil The in
formation having been furnished, the
following reply was received: We have
been much gratifed with the contents of
your letter, as it indicates that on many
kinds of chain the United States will be
able to make such prices i'll Brazil that
it will be impossible for England and
Germany to compete when we get the
same shipping facilities as those coun-
tries possess.
Railroads.
Venezuela is rapidly preparing for
more extensive trade by opening the in
terror by railways.
What is known as the Barquisimeto
line of railroad in Venezuela, extending
from the city of that name to La Luz,
has been formally opened by the presi.
dent and is now III operation. Barqui-
simeto is the third city of the republic,
tie capital Of the province of Lara, and
has population of $4,000. 1t lies about
one hundred miles from the coast, in
POSITION which commands the CONNER
cial highways of the interior and vast
agricultural plains. The new railroad
will serve as a powerful stimulant to
agriC ultural and commercial enterprises,
as the products of the interior. coffee
hides, sugar, rum, and other goods,
have heretofore reached market only bv
means of cars and pack mules.
Railway activity is also being shown
in Colombia and Central Ameri a.
The new railway between l. ort Limon,
the Atlantic port of Costa Rica, and
san Jose, the capital, is now in active
operation. and concession has been
granted for its extension to the shore, of
Lake Nicaragua, for which the line is
now being surveyed The total length
of the road is 12j miles. A fine pier has
cen erected at Port Limon, 80 feet in
length. which is capable of accomodat-
ing the largest ocean steamers along
side.
The great advantage which will be de-
rived from the completion of this rail
road may pe estimated when it is known
that the rate Of freight upon ton Of
merchandise between Europe and Costa
Rica, which by the old route was 50.
will now by the Atlantic route, amount
to only S21. 80 The railway company
has been granted large tracts of land,
which will very shortly be opened to set
tlement under favorable inducements.

NAVAL ARMAMENT.
Annual Report of Chief Folger, OF
the Bureau of Ordnance.

Commodore Folger, Chief of the Bureau
of Ordnance, in his annual report, estimates
the expenses of the Bureau for the next
fiscal year at 81, 78O, 291, OF which s.
1856, $50 is to be applied toward the
armament of vessels authorized to be
built. The number of guns required to arm
the new vessels is placed at 347, ranging in
calibre from four to thirteen inches. The
guns completed number 155. OF which III
were six-inch calibre.
Commodore Folger thinks that some form
of smokeless gunpowder will soon be used
exclusively in calibres of six inches and less;
also that oar navy will soon be equipped
with automobile torpedoes, equal, if not SUI
perior to those possessed by European ma
tiOns
The Bureau will recommend the arming of
vessels with short gun for firing gun-cotton
projectiles and has given an order for so, 600
pounds of gun cotton to the Duponts who
will have gun-cotton plant in operation in
two months.
The use of the submarine gun on rams is
favored and a submarine boat for naval use
is suggested.
The resisting power Of the Harveized
nickel steel-plate arnor is commended high
ly. The establishment of a National gun
factory on the Pacific coast is advised.

Effect of Ice on Animal Life.

Professor Henry S. Bodeman, of San
Francisco, when asked by a reporter
about the effect of ice on animal life
said: Frogs can be frozen in all con-
ditioas to solid ice, So that the slightest
trace of life no longer exists, so that NO
sign of vitality can be elected from
them, by the greatest irritation, and then
again come to life after having been
thawed out, and appear just as before
the experiment. Dument IN 1o42 per-
formed such an experiment with great
success. Many fishes we know, espec
tally the pike, can be frozen through and
through or be left lying in the air and
still be revived on being moistened with
water With warm blooded animals
only few experiments of this sort have
been tried. Still, it is known that few
may be frozen, even TO the entire cessa-
ton of the hearts action and breathing,
even to the complete disappearance of
nervous and muscular senslbility, and
then by careful heating become, for
time at least, alive again. And the
chicken in the egg, before Matching, can
be so greatly reduced in temperature
that the action of the heart ceases, with
out suffering injury, if after a couple of
days the normal heat is restored. 1t
merely matches so much smaller, since 1t
cannot regain the lost time. Fresh eggs
again, which have been frozen to solid
ice, have developed, after gradual thaw-
ing, with complete regularity in the pro-
cess of incubation. st. Louis Star

Jerked Beef.
Sdy1ngS.

Jerked beef was formerly much used
by herders and travellers in the South
west. 1t is preserved by drying in the
sun. The cattle are slaughtered when
in good condition, and the feshy parts
dexterously pared off in such a manner
as to resemble a succession of skins
taken from the same animal. These
sheets of flesh, when exposed to the hot
sun and dry air OF the plains, are dried
or sun-cured before decomposition sets
in, and in that state can be kept almost
any length of time. The beef is some
times dipped into brine or rubbed with
salt before being dried. Jerked beef is
of CHILEAN origin, and IS now made in
large quantities in other parts of South
America, 1t is much used to feed the
colored people who work the cane and
cotton plantation Of Cuba.-St. Louis

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
A Summary OF secretary Tracy's An
nual Report.

The annual report of the Secretary of the
Navy shows that the past year has been one
of achievement and recommends the build
ing of more armored vessels. The most i'm
portant of the pas; year S work is protected
cruiser No. ID, a triple-screw boat of 1900
tons displacement. As no proposals for the
construction of the torpedo cruiser author
lied by the act of June 30, 1890, were re-
ceved it suggests that the limit OF cost be
increased $162, 900, making a total cost of
1912, 900.
Since March 4, 1889, thirteen new vessels
have been put in commission, with twenty
four vessels now under construction, some of
them nearly completed.
The number of guns required for the YES
sells now building is 3z1, OF which 100 are now
completed. The construction of heavy guns
has been greatly improved. Gravity return
cartridges are to be used in the six-inch guns,
and brown powder continues TO give exec
lent results.
This is the first year that America has had
an mor-piercing prOjectlle. The first tor
pedo from the contract made last May will
be tried in few weeks. It is thought, in
the report, that an ordnance station should
be established on the Pacific Coast. If the
Nicaragua Canal were comDlated the situa-
ton would be much improve.
The Department also recommends the con-
struction of another vessel similar to the
New York, and of torpedo cruisers, of which
we have but one. The Secretary expresses
himself in favor of the naval militia. The
number of men now serving in this body IS
1149.
