Close" Relations Established with the
Transvaal Republic.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 Within the last
few years Germany has built up an inn
portant and lucrative trade with the
Transvaal, notwithstanding the fact that
only few years ago she refused to enter
into closer trade rotations with the little
African republic, because her interests in
that quarter of the world were SO insig.
niflcant. Now, however, according TO
United States Consul Moore at Weimar,
Germany, having acquired colonies in
East Africa, Is looking TO that continent
as the most favorable field for extending
her foreign trade
Germans have acquired large interests
IN the Transvaal gold mines, and they
built the railro id frcm Pretoria to the
coast. The KruI ps and other great Ger
man ironmasters have established agen-
cies in the Trans yaal, and Germany counts
upon checking British influence there
through the d velopment of Its iron
trade. In conses uence the German trade
with the Trans vaal has increased from
1. .0Oo. 900 marks IN 1889 to 6,OoO0O0 marks
in 1894, including goods shipped via Eng
