He entered on his duties the following

when satisfactorily answered, will en-

During this time he has lectured fire.

another series at Harvard college on

His duties as labor commissioner re-
quire him to supply congress with any
statistical INFORMATION it may, in the
fullness of its ignorance, desire. This
often requires him To make long in
designations in different parts of the
country. He has performed an enor-
nous amount of work since he took
charge of the bureau but has had time
to write q number of books, of which
the following are few: Strikes and

Before accepting the position Of la

acceptable to both the democratic and

was given him. He then insisted on
having the assurance that President

AMERICAN LUMBER ABROAD.
1t Is Sold I'm Every Country-Reports from
United States Consuls.

One of the most valuable publlca-
tions ever issued from the state depart
ment has appeared. 1t consists of re-
ports from American consuls through
out the world regarding United States
lumber in foreign markets. While in
tended primarily for the advantage OF
American lumber producers and ship
pers, the information is of unusual gen.
eral interest, according to the Hartford
Times. MThe remarkable fact is shown
that the United States sends lumber to
every country on the globe, and that,
while in many lands the market is vir-
tually controlled by the shippers Of
this country, there are still great pos
sibilities of increased sales.
1t is astonishing to learn that nearly
all the building lumber imported by
Africa comes from the United States;
that Japan buys it, and that no other
lumber enters South American ports.
In Samoa four cents foot is paid for
rough Oregon pine and California red
wood. Hawaii, by letting American
lumber in free of duty and charging
ten per cent, duty on Canadian lumber
virtually prohibits the importation Of
the latter Consul Mills, of Honolulu,
, reports that all the timber used there
comes from the United States. Even
the island of New Caledonia prefers
pine from Washington, and pays about
twenty dollars for ffty-three cubic
feet. Allthe lumber used in Madeira
comes from Maine, North Carolina and
Nova Scotia; while Mexico and the
West Indies rely wholly upon the
United States. Australia buys a mil
lion dollars worth every year, and
would take as much more IL it could be
boughtreadily.
The great difficulty appears to be in
procuring the transport Of the Ameri-
can wood. Little is carried by Amer
lean ships. The principal rivals Of this
country in the worlds lumber trade
are Canada and Norway, except in
England, where Russia and Germany
are competitors, and in Austria, which
is supplied by countries on the Medi-
terranean. Austria, however, gets her
slaves from the United States, as do
most of the other nations of Europe.
More lumber from the United States
than from Canada is used in Great
Britain. Nearly all the spools are made
of white birch'of Maine. Even Oregon
timber reaches England. One patriotic
consul protests against selling Ameri-
can lumber in foreign countries, be-
cause ii may ruin the forests Of the
United States 1t appears from most
consular reports that comparatively
few of the countries have wooden
houses on account of the great expense
of lumber, and that transportation IA
cilities alone prevent the substitution
of wood for stone and similar materi-
ais. This is generally the case in trop-
ical countries, where the woods are too
hard to be proftably used for ordinary
construction. From business point
of view IL is shown that the American
export lumber trade is still in its infan-
cy, though American timber probably
more widely known than any other
product of this country.

INDIAN GAMBLERS.
The Gre atest Vice Of Uncle Sans
Red-Skinned Wards.
Lo Wins or Loses with the Utmost Stoicism
Some of the Games Played Among
the Different Tribes-A Grow
ing Evil.

Unbounded belief in ill-luck and per-
haps the natural deviltry of the race
make Indians inveterate gamblers.
There is nothing in an Indians posses
sion which he will not readily wager
on a game of chance. Nearly every
noble red man is the possessor of an In
dividual charm or fetch that gives him
the ability to do things that other In
dams cannot do This fetch is some
thing that belongs especially to the in
dividuals possessing it, and according
to their belief would be of no use or
advantage to any other Indian. No
person besides the possessor knows
what the fetch is, and were it to be-
come known it would Immediately lose
the power for good. Having full faith
In the ability of his charm to bring
luck to him, the Indian never fails to
place all his possessions in the balance
when there is bet on. If he loses he
takes 1T philosophically and attributes
his bad luck to the greater power Of
his adversary's charm. If he wins he
has added faith in the power of his own
charm. have known an Indian to
wager all of his earthly possessions,
even to his squaw and children, on the
fall of stick in one of their games. l
have known one village to become alb
solute paupers and be dependent upon
charity for months because the men,
bers bet everything they had on the re-
suit of a game participated in by two
villages.
Gambling, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, is not secret vice among
the Indians. 1t is indulged in by all
members of the tribe, and the more ex-
pert the gambler becomes the higher
he stands in the estimation Of his fell
lows To have the fame Of being q
successful gambler causes an Indian to
be looked up to almost as much as II he
were a successful warrior. There is no
fear of shocking the morals of even the
highest chief by proposing a game with
him One point of advantage held by
the red oman; over his white brothe, Is
in thexfact that when he loses every
thing the, possesses he is not much
poorer than he, was before, and he can
readily, recoup himself by making q
raid np0n some weaker tribe -. =
One popularity of Indian gambling
games is their intricasy.'@ In several
tribes I,hape seen Indians playing a
game with sticks and stones for hours
At q, time: Notwithstanding the
closest attention have been unable to
discover the system used, nor have
ever met white man who could ex-
plain the game to me. There are sever
al games of this character, and among
the Pacific coast tribes they are com
mon. In addition to this faith in his
charm the Indian places great depend
ence upon his ability to cheat The
best cheat is accorded the highest
honors when gambling is INDUCED in
There is never a thought of Qetting
