CONSIDER FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Most Important Matters Before Mr..
Cleveland's Official Family.

Cleveland's Official Family.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted mostly
to the consideration of foreign affairs.
Secretary Gresham went over to the
White house armed with sundry official
documents relating. it is understood, to
the Nicaraguan and Venezuelan situa-
tions, and the Alliance incident. The
Thurston matter. it is understood, will
remain in abeyance until March 27th.
when steamer is due from Honolulu
which will probably bring official ad-
vices bearing on the subject of Mr..
Thurston's recall. 1t appears to be the
belief in state department circles that
Spain is not disposed to make any de-
cided stand against the demands of this
government in the Alliance matter.
The situation in Cuba and the cabinet
crisis at Madrid are pointed to as rea-
sons why the Spanish government is
anxious at this time to remain on good
terms with the United States and it is
predicted that Spain will waive part of
what she believes to be her rights in
the questions at issue and meet this
government half way. On the other
hand, it is said that the Washington
administration is willing to pass by, for
the present at least, any alleged utter
ances of Senior Muruaga, the Spanish
minister, that may be construed as un-
complimentary to Secretary Gresham.

LONDON, March 23.-In the house of

raised to $4,000 men. Although, he
said, the navy was never so we'll pre-

that of the French army.

CAPTURING AMERICAN TRADE.
The Pushing Methods Pursued by Ger
man Merchants.


man Merchants.
WASHINGTON, March 23. - United
States Consul General DeKay has more
to say about the pushing, aggressive
German methods of capturing the lu-
crative American trade for German
manufacturers in special report to
the state department. He has trans
mitted a translation of an official pub
lication which contains valuable sug-
gestions to German merchants looking
to the extension of their trade with the
United States. 1t concisely tells of our
American business practices, how
agents may be secured, how goods
should be packed, and many other facts
of interest to exporters, and altogether
the whole publication might serve
useful purpose if adopted for the guild
ance of American merchants looking
for foreign markets for their products.
One passage in the official article that
is full of significance at this time reads
as follows:
However gratifying it may be when our ex-
porters receive such advices from official
sources. yet would we beg to remark that all
such conSuls would be useless il our govern
ment shall be driven by agrarian influences to
risk our commercial relations with the world
in general, but especially with the United
States"

WILL THE MILITIA BE REMOVED.
Business Men of Now Orleans WIN Give no
Further Aid in Keeping Them on Duty.


New ORLEANS, La, March 23.-The
general conference committee at their
executive mansion yesterday came to
the conclusion not to vote further sup
plies for the maintenance of the mill
tia now doing duty on the levee. The
meeting was unanimous and the decis-
ion was arrived at without much doubt.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the members of the commercial bodies
had done all they could be expected to
do, in the premises, but relied on Gov
ernor Foster to be able to steer clear
course in the difficulty.
The conclusions of the conference
now leave the entire matter in the
hands of the governor. His excellen-
cy's movements will be watched with
much anxiety by the public. The fol-
lowing was the resolution unanimous
ly passed at the meeting yesterday:
Resolved that it is The sense of the general
conference committee in response to the gov
rrDor's inquiry, that having already more than
exhausted the subscriptions they have been
able to secure, they cannot furnish more
funds.
Governor Foster was Immediately
called upon by a reporter after the ad-
journment of the meeting. He would
not say whether he intended to con-
tinue to keep the military in active
service or not.
The general supposition is that Gov
ernor Foster will advise with friends
in the matter and endeavor in other
ways to raise the necessary means of
sustaining military protection. No one
believes for moment that he will
remove the soldiery from the front un-
til settlement has been made of the
existing differences

radical commoner for Gateshead,
moved yesterday in the house of COM

the house that a similar resolution was

subsequent action had been taken. The
country would not object, he said, to
Che small additional tax necessary to
cover members salaries.
Sir I'll. Stafford Northcot, conserva-
tive for Exeter, offered an amendment
to the effect that further burdens
should not be imposed upon the nation.
Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of
the exchequer, said the payment of
members was the logical outcome of
the extension of the suffrage. The
house was now too much one class. He
repudiates the suggestion that the pay
ment of members would lead to eorrup-
tion and the election of unfit men. De-
mocracy might be trusted to prevent
such evils. The proposal was wise and

From other cities better feeling is reported
based 0l the recently developed strength in

of itself significant. Wool remains unchanged,
