BERLIN. Aug. l1.-For the purpose OF
studying the actual effects OF the Nc
Kinley bill, as far as such effects could
show themselves within the compara-
lively short time since the law became
operative, the Associated Press corre-
spondent has visited some of the most
important industrial centres of Ger
many.
OF all the industrial centers in Ger
many, perhaps in Europe, Chemnitz, a
thriving manufacturing city OF saxony,
and the district surrounding it have
suffered most. The principle industry
OF Chemnitz is the manufacture OF knit
ted goods, especially hosiery.
There are $50 manufacturers OF hos
iery in the city. Numerous dye works,
commission houses, brokers, spinners,
etc, are interestedin this trade. Many
thousand skilled workmen employed in
the "house industry" depend upon it
for their living.

EXPORTS FALLING OFF.

The exports for this year show fall
ing off of nearly S3,OOO,OOO over
last. Many Chcmnitz manufac-
turers say that the present dull
ness is only consequence Of
last years over-production. But If the
tariff is not reduced they fear that in
the future they can't manufacture at u
profit and that factories springing up
in America will deprive them COM
pletely OF the trade.
One OF the largest manufacturers, who
asked that his name be withheld because
he feared the wrath Of his townsmen,
said he had sent number Of his best
young men to America for the purpose
OF initiating them into American busi-
ness ways as he thought seriously OF
putting up factory somewhere in the
United States.
The Associated Press correspondent
visited many of the houses while in
Chemnitz. For seven miles all along
the road leading west from Chem
nitz> one house joined another,
one village merged into another. In
every house one could see one, two
or three looms. At some, men were
busy, many others were covered with n
white cloth, the sign OF enforced idle
ness. In one house visited, a man was
making silk gloves OF very fine work
manship.

The Coinage Committee Will Close Hear
ings on tine silver Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ls.-Frsncis Newlsnds
to-day resumed his statement before the
house coinage committee in advocacy of the
free coinage of silver. NewIands and Rep
resentative Walker combatted each other
on the assertion of the former that the
prices of products always rose and fell with
the advance and decline of tho price of sill
yer. Bartine and others wanted to know
how long the examination would be kept
up and another wrangle ensued. Williams,
of Illinois, moved that hearings close with
to-day's session. Tracy. of New York. as
substitute. moved that hearings cease at
seven O'Clock Friday, and he adopted the
suggestion OF another member that vote
should be taken at one O'Clock Friday ON
reporting the bill. Williams said he wonld
vote for the proposition of Tracy under pro-
test, because he conld not help himself.
Bland made n similar statement, so BY IN
animous consent il was agreed that hear
ings should cease Friday noon and that
vote on the bill should be taken at ore
O'Clock of that day.
Warner. of Ohio. called attention to tho
charge that the advocates OF free coinage
were not willing to be questioned and
stated that he was willing to answer any
inquiries which might be made. Walker
asked II he were not at the head Of the ma
tional silver executive committee and
when Warner responded in the Affirmative,
Walker inquired how much money had
been expended to promote silver legislation.
Newlands interrupted with the remark that
he hnd given a statement of the expendi-
lures to the silver pool investigating COM
mittee and advised Warner TO answer the
question. Warner declined to give the
amount. but declared that five dollars
had been expended by the gold pool and
bank pool for every dollar spent by silver
men. Warner declared that he represented
no pool and said he had been advocating
the cause Of silver ever since he had learned
of its demonstration. Walker several times
pressed Warner for information as to his
knowledge of the existence of any gold POOL
or bank pool. Warmers response was In
effect that he had NO knowledge except thnt
which was in the public press.

CHICAGO, FEB 1S.-The twenty-eighth an

shows the gross earnings of the past year to
be 81 1890, $50: total disbursements for same
period. including operating expenses. taxes,
ETC.. 81, ,25S, 1873, leaving balance of Ss1, III
The actual net earnings were $2,6s3.751, a
decrease of $261, ,12S as compared with last
year. The gross earnings show decrease
of $3.50, 1868. and operating expenses de-
crease of $1s9,73l. President Blackstone
refers in plain terms to the secret rate cut j..
ting last summer whereby the Alton lost
much business. The agreement between
southwestern Missouri river lines. he says.
fell very far short OF realization. Depor-
ing the tendency of state legislation
against railroads, he says that in the group
of nine western states. west of Indiana. in
which about one-third of the whole rail-
road mileage of the United States is Iocat-
ed, I'VE find in 1889 more than four -fifths
of these roads failed to earn any dividends
for their shareholders, and that the capital
stock representing such non-dlvidend earn
ing roads and that of dividend earning
roads amounts to more than $1,000, ,O0O, 900.
And yet, in the legislatures of several
states in this group there are one or moIe
bills under consideration designed for the
still further reduction of railroad earnings.

CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-WiIliam s. Alley.
New York stock broker, has asked Judge
Tulsy 70 appoint receiver for the Louis
vile, Nsw Albany a. Chicago railway. A
lengthy bill was fled making grave charges
against President Breyfoele. He charges
BreyfoGls with d0ctoring the records of the
directory and packing the board with his
personal friends, who we're not stockhold-
ers. conspiracy is alleged between Brey-
fOgle and Henry S. Ives TO wreck tho com =
pany and buy tin for confederates. Judge
Tuley referred the matter to the master in
chancery. Information has been received
that at . meeting of tho directors OF the
Louisville, New Albany d Chicago railroad,
held at the company's Office in New York.
an additional issue of $2,5O00O0 of COM
pany stock was authorized, President Brey-
fogle stating to the directors that he had
arranged with some one TO loan the COM
pany money on them. II is claimed the
issue was part Of the attempt to defraud
the company out Of just SO much money.
The directors, it was also asserted. did not
understand anything about the company's
business; that they did just what the presi-
dent wanted them to do, and that all they
knew about the matter was that the stock
holders voted to make some extension in
Indiana. all Of which, il was expected,
would cost much less than 81 100000.
In talk with Post reporter Breyfogle
denied the above story. He declares that
there has not been any such meeting of di-
rectors, and no additional issue of stock
had been authorized or even suggested.
About a year ago the bonded debt was in
creased by $2,5O0,OO0. to $12.5OOOOO, and
with the proceeds of the additional bonds
some floating indebtedness had been paid
off, saving having thus been effected on
interest charges. Breyfogle also declares
that no company was in easier circum-
stances financially.
In affidavitsli in connection with his suit
for a receiver in Chicago, Alley alleges that
n conspiracy exists between Breyfogle and
Henry s. Ives, of Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton fame, to wreck the Monon CON-
pany, etc. Mr.. Breyfogle, when seen to-
day, made tho following statement: II
have been informed that such q suit has
been brought and have been repeatedly told
that since Henry Crawford severed his con-
nection with this company, he was prepar-
ing sensational suit. The charges are
fictitious and sensational Another officer
Of the Monon said: 1.-The cause of this
difference and controversy lies in the fact
that Henry Crawford was general solicitor
of that railway Qndiana Midla nd. which
he desired to unload on the company at
excessive valuation. Had the management
would never have been brought. Crawford
is behind the proceedings"
