ONE OF WILLIE,s SCHEMES.

Berlin, November 24-Emperor William
is credited with the inception of the pro-
posed naval demonstration in Chinese
waters. The suddenness of the appoint
ments of Admiral Won Diederich and
Prince Henry is shown by the fact that
only d week ago, the prince was appointed
inspector of the. navy, a post in which he
liz now replaced by Baron Bodenhausen,
the commander of the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern. No German prince has
ever had an active naval command SO
far from him. The two squadrons will
consist Of eight vessels and $500 men. 1t
is semi officially declared that the pend
ing diplomatic negotiations will be con-
Quoted at Pekin and not in Berlin. The
new Chinese minister to Germany was
just on the point of starting for Germany
but on the occupation Of Kaoi Chau, the
Pekin authorities counternlanded his de-
parture.
On good authority it is said that Ger
many is negotiating with the great powers
for permanent occupation of the bay as
a naval station. The negotiations
promise to be successful
The Hayti difficulty has disappeared in
the background in view of the weighty
Chinese movement. The mi-official
organs regard it as settled ard acknowl-
edge the friendly attitude of the United
States which has materially assisted the
settlement.

USE OF CORAL DECREASING.

The beautiful coral necklaces and
brooches that were once so fashionable are
seldom worn now by women in this coun-
try" says New York dealer ia rare and
curious ornaments recently. Thirty
years ago the material was in great de-
lnand for all sorts of articles of personal
adornment. At the present day coral IS
used largely only in, such countries as
Abyssinia, the Congo, the Cape, India
and Ceyion, Siberia, China and Japan,
The choicest pieces are used for the but
tons of Chinese smandarins or for orna-
menting the turbans of rich Mussulmans,
while the inferior qualities are sent to less
civilized countries, where they are EN- :
ployed for various purposes.
Coral hassbeen often used as money in
Oriental countries, but that use of it is
now declining. Barbarous and semi
civilized peoples employ 1t largely for
ornamenting arrows. lances and pixies,
and also for decorating eorpses before in
terment Prices have varied much of late
years, a rapid decline in value having
taken place, owing principally to the
scarcity Of good and the comparative
abundance OF inferior qualities.
"Besides the loss aceruing to the fisher
men, the present scarcity of coral is very
seriously affecting the large number Of
people employed in preparing the material
for market. There has been great de-
cline in the number of women thus en-
gagged at Leghorn, and the same state of
affairs is evident at Naples and Genoa, the
other principal seats Of the industry.
Nowadays the proportion of inferior
quality is so muoh larger that fewer per-
sons are Observation-Disclosures the guam
tity. No machinery or mechanical pro
cess is employed. The workman simply
takes pieces of coral into his or her hands
one after another, and, according to their
thickness, quality and defects, works
them into certain forms. Their wages
run from fifteen cents to thirty-fve cents
per day. Wv ashington Star.
