BERLIN, May 19.-The German news

France. In some quarters the opinion
is expressed that the French deliberately
intend to provoke quarrel on tie
frontier with view Of bringing on a
war with Germany.
The North German Gazette warns
President Carnot not to place an official

projected excursion of gymnasts to the
frontier will not be attended by any

HAVOC IN THE HOLD.



Baltimore.
PHILADELPHIA, May 19.-Under the
keen eye of board of experts appointed
by Secretary of the Navy Tracy, it has
just come to light that strangely gem
Grated galvanic current played queer
havoc with the condenser of the new
United States cruiser Baltimore. twas
when the vessel reached the Mare Island
navy yard, San Francisco, that the dis
covery was made.
The Baltimore has been at sea less
than twelvemOnth, and when the
CHILEAN imbroglo was in its most threat
ening aspect and tho services of the
cruisers were i'll greatest demAnd, the
Baltimore's helpless condition excited a
deal of anxiety. The condenser was re-
moved and its interior was found to be
singularly honeycombed, as though
eaten ont by the peculiar action of the
saline waters in which the ship had
cruised.
The experts have just submitted their
report. They were compelled to have
the whole condenser, with its many frail
parts, removed in order to insure a com
plete examination. Then they discov-
cred that an electrical current from some
unknown source was the sole cause of
the trouble.
IL was first thought that the current
came from the ships dynamo or Other
electrical apparatus, but this theory
failed when it was found electrical cur
rents ran near but did not come into
actual contact with the condenser.
1t was then decided to carefully ex-
anime the different metals which en-
tered into the condenser's construction,
and it was found that zinc plating, cop
per tips, brass tubes and other metals in
tho interior produced a galvanic current,
which had been working since the YES
eel left Philadelphia, destroying every
thing connected with the engine by
which current could be formed.
The plans of the Baltimore We're pur-
chased by ex-Secretary of the Navy
Whitney from Sir William Armstrong,
the British shipbuilder, for $4,000,
and the condenser's plans came with
them.
1t cost $500 to put in a new CON
denser.

ANGORA GOAT INDUSTRY.
1t Already Has n Fine Start Here and
viii BE Developed.

IL Already Has Fine Start Here and
viii BE Developed.
NEW YORK, May 19-Mr. Bailey, of
San Jose, Cal, who has been visiting
Washington in the hope of stirring our
government up to some activity in pro-
noting the Angora goat industry, is on
his way home, pretty well pleased on
the whole, with the result of his efforts.
BY Secretary Rusk's advice, the breeders
whom Mr.. Bailey represents will give
up their attempt to press the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Hermann, of Oregon, call
ing for an appropriation of P35, 900 to set
the government up i'll the goat raising
business.
In consideration of this Mr.. Rusk will
probably work through Secretary Blaine
and try to induce Turkey to permit our
breeders to buy 200 or 300 choice ami
mails with their own money. Besides
being more constitutional way of get
ting at the same thing, this plan has
been proved by experience to be practi-
cable, for Mr.. Bailey himself now
possesses 10000 Angora goats, 1000 of
them full-blooded, and all sprung from
an original importation of four. There
have been no importations from Turkey
during the last ten years and the need
of fresh blood is beginning to be seri-
ously felt.
1t appears. from the statistics gathered
in view of the effort to set up govern
ment goat farm, that the Angora goat
industry now exists in thirty states and
all the territories. Six hundred thou
sand pounds of hair a year are raised
here, supplying fine pushes for the
Pullman Car company and other large
consumers; yet the industry is still in its
infancy, and we import ten pounds of
Mohair for every pound we produce.

The Bicycle in War.

New YORK, May 19.-Speaking of the
relay bicycle race from Chicago to New
York, conveying a message from Gen
eral Miles to General Howard, the latter
said: 81 am under the impression that
General Miles really believes that BIZ
cycle courier service will ultimately
prove itself superior to that in which
horses are utilized. | have always
thought that the machines would be
valueless in case that bad roads were
met with. During the rebellion when
we found no bridges we had to build
them. Many times couriers had to
make their horses swim streams, and
bicycle can not swim. Can it? | am
not saying this to oppose the scheme,
but simply to cite obstacles that must
be met. shall be pleased to watch the
progress and issue of the trial and shall
withhold further comments until it
has proved either success or fail
ure,"
