Good Business in American Securities
Since Mckiniey's Election.

Copyright. 1896. by the Associated Press)
BERLIN, Nov. For many years past
no American election has excited such uni
versal attention in Germany as the one
just over. During the week preceding the
day of the election the papers of every
shade of opinion published daily articles
discussing the issues and the candidates,
the universal tenor being that, so far as
choice between two evils, the Mckinley
evil being the smaller one. Financial circles
here, especially. were greatly interested in
the election, and unheard-of pains were
taken TO obtain early ard reliable Informal
ton concerning the results. Several of the
hanks and financiers received frequent ca
Diagrams on Wednesday. and as the news
began to pour in the same day things be-
came lively on the Stock Exchange and
the Berlin brokers did n good business in
American securities OF all kinds. Railroad
shares climbed up three or more points by
noon. In important commercial circles,
however. the feeling is not SO buoyant,
owing to fears OF u protective tariff.
A book written by Evon Halle and dedi-
Gated TO the government has been pub
liShed. 1t surveys the importance of the
American elections toward Germany and
assumes that a fairly prohibitive tariff vii:
be passed and in view of the fact that
Germany in 1885 imported American goods
to the value of Oh 600, eco marks, he pro-
poses that early steps be taken to counter
act the injury TO German industries. He
advocates dc1C uncing the most feyD-ed ma
ton clause and passing a tariff paragraph,
and also to try In the main to cooperate
with the rest of Europe in sweeping retail
iatory measures against the United States.
The government has taken notice of the
book. and a score or copies nave Deen
bought for use in the different foreign Of
fees.

Yes said Joseph Bonner, superintend-
ent of telegraph for the Southern Pacific
railroad, telegraph poles along the line
nave a hard time. Particularly Is this so
out West, where the poles are costly and
stations are few and far between Now,
out in the Arizona desert the poles are
played the deuce with generally. There
is a sort of woocpecker that picks the posts
absolutely TO pieces, thinking there may
be insects inside the wood. They hear the
humming and haven't sense enough to
know what causes it. Then near the hills
the black bears imagine that each pole
contains a swarm of bees, and they climb
TO the top and chew the glass insuIators
to pieces, but the sandstorms are the
things that create the most havoc. When
the winds blow strongly the sand is drifted
at q rapid rate and the grains cut away the
wood at a fearful rate. 1t was common
to have an oak pole worn to a shaving in
a days time. while / have seen poles just
ground to the surface of the earth during
a single storm. Things got SO bad out
there hat the company decided TO substi-
tute steel poles for the oak and cedar. but
that didn't remedy the thing at all. The
sand just wore away the metal on each side
of the pole until the center was as sharp
as a razor, and all the Indians in the coun-
try used to shave themselves on the edge.
We finally managed to fix things. Just
painted the poles with soft pitch. The
pitch caught the sand and now every pole
is about two feet thick and solid as a
rock" :.
