MANCHESTER MARKETs.

MANCHESTER. Feb. 16.-The market
has been irregular, especially for yarns.
The continent was not buying much. On
the whole stocks we're burdensome.
good business was done for India, chiefly
for finer goods like dhooties, which were
engaged ahead. Shirtings were fairly
bought. Many looms have started up
again. The home trade was good The
eastern trade was much assisted by the
rising exchange rates.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 16.-starter
Ferguson realizes that the Australian
starting machine will be in general use on
every race track in America in the very
near future. He came to that conclusion
the very first day that he saw the gate
at work and he thereupon closed a con
tract with R. b. de Lopez, the American
agent of Grays starting machine, for the
exclusive use of the machine in Kentucky
and New Orleans. Ferguson will use the
gate at all cities where he has been re-
tanned to do the starting, including Bay
District track.

THE WHEEL.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ia. A.
Zimmerman, the champion professional
bicycle racer, who arrived this morning
from Australia, attributes his failure
to come back with an unbeaten record
to the Australian climate. The bicy-
Gle racers of that country, he says, do
not compare with those of America
or England in speed. but no matter
how fast a foreign rider may be- he
cannot expect to win races until he
has lived long enough in the coun-
try to become acclimated. Parsons,
Piether and Walker are the best riders
in Australia but they would stand lit
tie chance in this country against our
fast men. Another thing that hindered
Zimmerman in Australia was the poor
tracks. They are generally four laps
to the mile and are grassed. thinner
man won nineteen races In Australia
and was beaten several times; twice
at Newcastle, just before he left. He is
we'll satisfied with the financial result
of his trip, as the prizes for races are
usually $1,000 Great interest is taken
in bicycle racing and race meets are
attended by from 10000 to SO, 900 people.
zimmerman was rather reticent about
his plans in the United States He
said he had not decided whether he
would race again. If he did race it
would probably be in Paris, where he
has standing offer of $500 week for
one race a week. This, he thinks.
would be more profitable than follow
ing the circuit in the United States.

Molesnet Is Autonomous and Has an
Army of One Man.
From the London Standard.
The smallest Independent state in Eu-
rope is neither the princjpality of Monaco,
with its population Of 12,oOO souls, nor the
republic OF st, Martin. with its 5000 inhab-
itants, nor that Of Andora, containing only
5000 citizens. but Moreshet, with popula-
ton of scarcely 1900 souls. Moresnet, W hich
is thoroughly autonomous, Is situated on
the Germano-Belgian frontier, about half
way between Verviers and Adx-la- -Chapelle.
1t lies in picturesque valley, watered by
the little river Gueule.
How Moresnet has maintained It's indie
pendence has just been explained to a
French journalist by the Belgian minister
In Paris. The commune of Moresnet, as it
existed under the empire, was. after the re-
treat of the French in the early years of
the century, administered exclusively by
the PrUssian authorities till 1917. At that
time 1t was divided into three parts, in vir-
tue of the treaty Of Jure 20, 1916. The
principal portion was annexed to Holland
another portion was united to Prussia, and
the third portion. situated between the
other two, formed the neutral territory. 1t
contains the calamine establishment of the

the zinc it employs, rendered it impossible
for the negotiators to come to an under
standing concerning that fraction of the
frontier. 1t, indeed. seems unlikely that a
decision concerning it will be taken for a
long time, as the governments of both
Germany and Belgium claim possession of
the mines Of the 'Old Mountain" That is
why that piece of contested territory has
for the last eighty years preserved its neu-
trail character and its political independ-
ence.
Prussia and Belgium have each a COM
missary, whose duty 1t is to intervene in
case of difficulties arising; but that is a
purely formal suZerainty. The Belgian rep

Stories That Thousands Are in Dan.
ger of Starvation DeEied.

PORTLAND orr, Sept. 13.-Oscar
Beer, prominent citizen of Portland,
has just returned from Alaska, and
gives an authentic account of the min
ing situation, differing materially from
those of others.
When left Cooks Inlet on August
21th," says he, there were still 800 or
900 miners in that region. Earlier in
the season there were several thousand,
but the stories published about so many
being penned up there, hundreds of
miles from civilization, without prospect
Of getting away and being in danger Of
starvation or freezing this winter, are
quite untrue. The thousands have
dwindled now probably to a few hun
dred, who can still get away, but many
will winter there in order to be on hand
to work their claims in the spring. 1t
is quite true that the region has proved
the reverse Of profitable to all but a
few Of those who have gone there this
year, for nearly all the good claims had
already been located last year.
'The few claims located in 1895 were
mostly profitable, and everybody looked
for big developments this year. but
while the whole country is so full Of
gold that a miner can find color any
where, the metal is all on the surface
and only a few pockets have paid for
the time and labor of the miner Some
claims have averaged as high as $50 to
500 day to the man after the prelimi-
nary work was done.

BEHRING SEA FLEET.
Soon to Disband and Return to Port
for the Season.


PORT TOWNSEND CWash), Sept. 13.
According to private advices received
here to-day, the Behring Sea fleet will
disband at an early date and return to
civilization, after five months patrol,
during which a number of seizures were
made.
The letter is from the Corwin and
states that that vessel will leave Una
laska on the Goth instant. Instead of
coming to Port Townsend, as usual, the
Corwin will proceed direct to San Fran
cisco, not even stopping at Sitka. The
reason for this is that Captain Hooper,
commanding the squadron, will be
aboard, and will proceed to Washington
City to make his report of the seasons s
work without any unnecessary delay.
The run down should consume about ten
days, which will bring the Corwin to
San Francisco by the 1st of October.
In view of the fact that Commander
Hooper is aboard the Corwin, that will
probably be the last vessel to leave the
sea. The other vessels of the fleet, all of
which will put in here, may be expected
by the Goth or 2Jth instant. The Bear
and Grant are both coming to Port

Diego to protect the southern bOun-
