New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-01-22

The Jackson Republic remarks that
some of the reasons the government is in
trouble is the fact that in the last year
we bought of England one hundred and
six million dollars worth of goods more
than we sold them in grain, cattle and
other produce" That's as plain as the
nose on Sheeny's face, Bro. Allen,
but the trouble is that you cannot make
a Democrat see the folly of it by any
means. Col. 1ngersoll, you remember,
told them the same thing at banquet
at Minneapolis a couple of years ago,
but every lasting Democrat who heard
him went home the next day and roas-
ted him for il.

New Enemy IN Our Midst

From all quarters comes the report
that the army worm is playing havoc
with the early wheat, clover, etc, and
the cut worm has also made its APP
pearance in large numbers in many
sections, but third enemy, the for
est worm" is now with us. This pest
made its appearance few days ago,
attacking the post oak trees exclu-
sively, and in many sections this va
riety of the oak has been entirely
stripped of its foliage and many of
the trees will doubtless die. The
worm resembles, very much, what is
known as the measuring worm" and
the amount of damage already done
to the forest trees is immense and
may result in great disaster unless
there is an early abatement of their
ODeratiOnS.

Hopkinsville a Winner.

AS announced the jacksonville
team and our local club crossed bats
at Athletic park Wednesday after
noon. The game attracted a very
large crowd and was much enjoyed
by the spectators. Hopkinsville won
by the score of s to 7, with the last
half of the ninth inning to their cred
it. Some fine playing was done, al
though both clubs made some costly
errors. jacksonville is very proud of
her team and claims that it will win
the pennant. 1t is true that she has
a very strong aggregation, and has
won every game played this season
until she ran against Hopkinsville,
but the score of Wednesdays game
speaks for itself Another game was
played between the two mines yester-
day afternoon, but the fun had not
finished when we closed the forms.
The Hopkinsville boys will go to
Madisonville this morning, where a
game will be played this afternoon
and another tomorrow afternoon. The
regular League games will commence
in about ten days.

Freight Wreck on L. d n.
Nashville Americana

Early Tuesday morning a north
bound freight train, consisting of
thirty-five loaded cars, ran into four
fiat cars on side track at Goodletts-
vile, piling them one upon the other,
tearing the cab from the engine and
otherwise injuring it. Mr.. Nunnaly,
the section boss, had been at work on
the tract and when the engine blew
for the station be ran his handcar on
the side track and failed to throw the
switch back. The train was moving
at the rate of thirty. five miles an hour
and the engineer saw the open switch
too late to stop the train. Reversing
the engine, he and the fireman Jump
ed from the cab, receiving several
severe bruises, which are not of a
serious nature. 1t will require sever
al hours to remove the wreck from
the track. The south bound train
was delayed three hours. Those in
Jured were Walter Fondsworth, en-.
gineer, George Luton, fireman, and
a brakeman whose name could not be
ascertained. When Nunnally saw
the result of his error he left and
nothing has been heard or seen of
him since.

THE LION wINCEs.
Afraid OF Another Tail Twisting
Scare.

LONDON, March ga Paris dispatch to
the Daily News asks: "Are we to have
a tail-twisting foreign minister in the per-
son Of NJ Bourgeois? 1t almost appears
so. The colonials are already rejoicing at
the prospect of fun. M. Berthelot's only fault
is the stain of the original sin inherited
from his predecessors. The fatal mistake
of French policy has been the perpetual
nagging of England
A dispatch to the Chronicle from Paris
says; "M Berthelot, in an interview, ad-
mitted that he had resigned on account Of
differences with his colleagues on foreign
policy, but he declines to specify. 1t is
generally admitted that, although M. Ber-
thelot was made a scapegoat for the re-
cent menacing note to England, NJ. Bour-
geois was the real author.
''It is alleged that both Baron de Courcel
and Russia objected strongly to the policy
Of sending meaningless ultimatums, which
only had the effect of placing France in a
ridiculous position. The Moderates will try
to upset the cabinet. Nobody can foretell
the issue of today's debate. The opposition
will make a strong attack, blaming the gov
ernment for the rebuff which France has
sustained in Egypt at the hands Of England
who, until recently, was completely isolated
in Europe. NJ Bourgeois today Sunday has
been busy comforting with the leaders of the
Colonial party and others for support. He
hopes to be able to tide over the crisis
A dispatch to the Chronicle from Berlin
says: Pending the result of NJ Bourgeois
appearance before the chamber Of deputies
in his. new position, the papers here speak
with reserve. But no uneasiness is visible
at the crisis, which is unlikely to affect
European peace"

Opinion of Government Expert
Sent Abroad to Investigate.
LONDON, March 29-Col. William Ludlow,
military attache Of the American embassy at
London, recently sent by the government to
inspect the various European canals with the
view of reporting their working in comparison
with the proposed Nicaragua canal said to
press representative regarding his inspection:
THE inspection proved an interesting, though
laborious undertaking I have thoroughly in
spected the Suez canal, and the officials of that
company did everything to facilitate my in
quiries and placed a steam yacht at my dis
posal. 1t is a wonderful success. There is
hardly any other enterprise in the world, re-
garded purely as commercial investment,
that is yielding so large return. You know
that the canal was not success at first. but
now 1t proves one of the most useful and sue
cessful schemes Of the century. I also went
to Greece and witnessed the working of the
Corinth canal.
while entirely different both in aim and
construction, it is still success. It is a most
interesting work. The original scheme for a
canal here was conceived in the time Of
Nero. and one may yet see the original test
pits that were made by the Romans.
II also inspected the new German canal
thoroughly. 1t is a wonderful affair, and

feasible, but until my report is submitted, I

WORKING UP RECIPROCITY.
Duluth MiIlers Among Those Who
Want the Law Revived

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Representative
Hopkins of. Illinois, chairman of the sub
committee of the house committee on ways
and means, having in charge the subject Of
reciprocal trade relations with foreign coun-
tries, has received a number Of letters dur
ing the past week on this subject.
A resolution Of the New York legislature
favoring closer commercial relations was re-
ceived. Four letters were from boards of
trade, ten from merchants associations and
thirty-nine from representatives of private
interests. AS a rule, the replies are favor
able to reciprocity. The Louisiana Sugar and
Rice Exchange, and the New York Grocers'
association think that some provision should
be made for a bounty on sugar. Some of the
writers favor reciprocity with Spanish-Ameri-
can countries only, and others designate
articles which they think would be benefited.
The Winter Wheat Millers' league. Indian
apolis sends pamphlet headed Reciprocity
and Retaliation Needed"
The Head Of the Lake Millers' association,
of Duluth and Superior, Wis. says that re-
ciprocity and retaliation law would make
foreign countries cease to discriminate
against American -four. The National AS
ISOLATION of Wool Manufacturers says: 'The
organization believes most heartily in the
general principle Of the reciprocity clauses of
the act of 1S90.'
The boards Of trade of the following cities
were heard from: Glencoe, Mimi; Gaines
Vile, Fla; Paterson, N. ].
Manufacturers and merchants associations
of New York, Orwigsburg, Pa; Martinsburg,
w. Va, and Buffalo, N. Y, also sent re-
plies The Philadelphia merchants would re-
commend to favor all American countries
alike, and make reciprocity treaties with

NO ONE CAN PREDICT THE OUT

OF DEPUTIES.
SQUADRON ON A WAR FOOTING
Conference of Powers Mar Be In
vOked to Discuss England's
Action.

PARIS, March 29 - The political
world Of France is again in a badly
perturbed condition, and there are in
dications going to show that the gov
ernment seeks to retrace some Of the
steps by which it was placed in the
position of impotent acquiescence in
the dispatch Of an Egyptian expedi-
tion up the Nile, and the defraying of
the expenses of 1t out Of the Egyptian
debt surplus.
The government will be interpolated
In the chamber of deputies tomorrow,
and the ministers will be under the ne
cessity Of making some kind of a state
ment in reply. An important debate
is expected to result, and there is a
feeling in some quarters that far
reaching changes Of policy may be an
nounced.
The air is electric with expectation
tonight and numerous rumors are cur
rent Of grave things that are in con-
temptation. Among those which are
circumstantially formulated are that
the resignation of M. Berthelot as min
lister of foreign affairs, announced yes
terday, was connected with the wish of
M. Bourgeois, the premier, to recall
Baron de Courcel, the French ambassa-
dor in London; that Frances naval
reserve squadron has been ordered to
be placed on a war footing, and that
France and Russia will convene Eu-
ropean conference to discuss the pow
ers Of the Egyptian debt commission
to act against the vote Of the minority
of the powers guaranteeing the debt,
n 1c0
Egypt.
There is a growing feeling among
Frenchmen that the entente between
Great Britain and the dreibund, as
whole, is not as cordial as it was be-
ieved when the Nile expedition was
first announced. The signs of the un-
reconciled attitude Of Germany toward
Great Britain have been keenly noted
In France for two weeks past, and the
conviction has grown that Germany,
though glad to avail herself of Great
Britain's assistance to her ally, Italy,
will not take a more lenient view on
that account OF any other forward
movements by Great Britain. Whether
the disturbed condition Of affairs in
South Africa gives France a hope
that there will be inserted a wedge to
break asunder again the newly formed
friendship of Great Britain and Ger
many, is q matter of surmise. But
that France regards the alliance of
Great Britain with the dreibund as less
formidable because less well assured,
is evident from many things.
How far the French ministry will re-
sumo the stiff attitude Of protest
not ho
in M. Berthelot's report Of his COM
munication to Lord Dufferin when the
expedition was first announced, and
subsequently softened in face of the
outbreak of unbridled French patriot
ism, is the question Of first interest in
Paris tonight, and which it is hoped
will be answered in the chamber of
deputies.

WOULD STEAL TEXAS.
Pops and Republicans Hatching a
Plot.

AUSTIN, Tex., March 29.-There is move
ment on foot between the Populists and Re-
publicans by which they hope to capture the
state from Democratic ruling this year. The
proposition comes from Republicans accord
Ing to certain we'll known Populist leader,
who made the proposed fusion known to press
representative today. The proposition is that
the Populists place Republican presidential
electors on their ticket this year, and in re-
turn, the Republicans will put the Populist
state candidates for state officers on their
ticket. BY thus consolidating their vote, the
two parties expect to defeat the Democratic
party The returns of the last election chow
that such move, If faithfully carried out,
would out-vote the Democrats. The Populists
arc eager for the combination for the reason
that they have no hopes outside of the state
for victory, and If they can get control of
the state government that is all they want.
Many OF the Republicans are also in favor of
the combination, and there is some nroh-
ability of its being consummated.
