The business depression which prevailed through
out the country at the close Of 1898 continued with
even greater severity during the past year, and
the reduction of traf1c consequent thereupon slim
ulated the sharpest competition that has probably
ever taken place between the transportation inter
ests OF the country, and required the most
sentative and economical mana cement in order to
secure even moderate returns upon the capital In
vested. Under such circumstances the results at
tanned must be considered satisfactory, ~. after
providing for all the obligations Of the Company,
and paying cash dividend Of five per cent, there
was credited to profit and loss amount nearly
equal to the surplus carried to that account In the
preceding year.

now seems but a question of a few hours
until Mrs. Parnell passes away. Since
she was attacked by the first convulslon
she has grown rapidly worse and is
growing weaker every minute. DR..
Ships, the attending physician, has
given up all, hope of saving her life,
and as she is too weak to undergo an
operation, all that can be done is to
wait for the fast approaching end. DR..
Ships believes it she was strong
enough to stand an operation that the
clot Of blood at the base Of the
brain, which, in his opinion, is the
cause of the commissions, could
be successfully removed, and while
it might not result in her ultimate re.
covery, life could be prolonged for some
time. Friends of the distinguished
patient are at her bedside, but she does
not seem to recognize any ono. She

Y SAN FRANCISCO, April %. The Bull
letin says: The teachers at Stanford
university are looking for positions IN
other universities on the impression
that the university founded by Leland
Stanford will soon close its doors. They
fear the college will close because there
is no money in the Stanford estate to
pay for its maintenance, the estate be-
ing tangled up in suit with the United
States which is going on in the federal
courts. The probate court has no
power to use tho funds OF the estate TO
keep the college on q firm footing:
Some time ago the estate began to sell

cumulated in the wineries Of the estate
and the money derived from the estate

this, so it is said, coupled with the

The foregoing is list Of the articles,
mentioned by The Herald, that show "a
large falling of in our exports to Ger
many" The values are taken from a
report by Mr.. Worthington G. Ford,
chief of the bureau Of statistics of the
treasury department.. The "large fall
ing off, Of The Herald's imagination
is an actual increase of 50, 661, 316.
In agricultural implements the Large
falling off" was gain of $157, 0O6. In
sewing machines the "large falling off,
was $l50,072, due in great part to the
very much lower price at which sewing
machines are now selling owing to the
expiration of patents. In cotton manu-
features the ''large falling off" was an
increase of $50, 824, which is very re-
markable when we consider that Ger
many bought from us. in 1894 oyer 63, :
100000 pounds more raw cotton than
she did in 1893. In flour the ''large
falling off was $6O1,2 78 because Ger
many bought more wheat from Argen-
tina and made her own flour under her
policy of protection to her home indus
tries. ~ r - ".'z
In our exports of seeds to Germany
the falling off Of more than so per
cent? was less than SO per cent, but
The Herald forgets to state that the pro-
lection on seeds was reduced 30 per
cent, so that we sold less when the mar
kets of the world were open to us, and
the same was the case with flour. But
look at the "falling off Of more than 30
per cent? in our exports of butter to
Germany, which were only 81, $50 in
1898. and increased to $1O8, 841 in 1894,
a gain of nearly 400 per cent.
Then again, the "falling off OF more
than SO per cent" in our exports Of beef
products resolves itself into an increase
Of $111,S 82, our shipments Of canned
beef being lighter, but Of salt or picked
beef 1856, 600 more than in 1898, leav-
ing the net gain in our beef export trade
at Sill, $50, as above stated.
" Still further the "falling of Of more
than 80 per cent? in Germany's pur.
chases of American hog products is rep.
resented by an increase Of So, 392, 913,
which was exactly gain of 80 per cent
in this branch of our trade, every article
Of bacon, hams, fresh and picked pork
and lard being in greater demand than
In 1898.
As The Herald was correct in noting
smaller exports Of sewing machines and
-four to Germany last year, the writer OF
the article cannot be excused on the
ground of an ignorance Of addition and
subtraction. We must assume, therefore,
though we do so with regret. that the
article was cheat, pure and simple. the

Black Min0rcas.

This breed of poultry is rapidly grow
ing in favor in this progressive age OF
poultry culture as their good qualities
are better known. They are of Spanish
origin, but have been bred for many
years in England. They are the largest
nonsitting breed in existence and excel
as egg producers, both in number and
size Of the eggs. They combine two
points that render them specially desir-
able-viz, utility and beauty. They
have large single combs, red face with
pure white ear lobes. 1ustrous black
plumage and are proud and majestic.
The American standard weight for
Black Minorca cocks is 8 pounds and
for hens 6H pounds. They are very
hardy, mature early, pullets begin to
lay when months old and continu
through the winter. Their ability to fl
the egg basket is recognized not only by
the fancier. but by the practical farmer.
