others within bounds.

A peculiar incident IN the sending out
Of the new German fleet of warships 10y
Emperor William to China under the
command Of his brother, Prince Henry,
with so much ostentation, self-glorifica-
ton and bombast, was the fact that the
German ministers and adjutants Of war
had not thought to provide Il supply Of
coal for the vessels. When Prince Hen
ry reached Portsmouth, England, be had
to go, cap in hand, to several coaling
stations, begging the privilege of buying
coal for his warships. He also carried a
letter of apology from Emperor William
to his grandmother, Queen Victoria,
apologizing for the sending of the fleet
out to China, declaring that the neces-
sity was forced upon him by the British
government. Prince Henry then invited
himself to dine with the Prince of
Wales at London, and went there pur.
posely for the event, but his royal uncle
would not ever see him and did not even
answer his note until after the time set
by the prince for their meeting had gone
by. His royal "nibs" then returned to
his ships at Portsmouth and set sail for
Gibrnlter where he will beg permission
to buy more coal from the English, and
again be will have to do the same thing
at Malta, at Port Said, at Singapore
and at Hong Kong, On his way to China.
One can readily see from this how In
significant a power England considers

Prospect of An Adjustment of
 BehrinS Sea Troubles
CLOSE OF THE CONFERENCE
General Plan of Agreement
 Settled Upon
1t IS Believed that Final Adjudication Wii Embrace Other Long Psnd- ing Bcrder Controversies With Canada.

Washington, Nov 16.-The Bshring sea meeting in which representatives of Great Britain, Canada and the United States have participated came to a close tonight, EG1e seal experts making a unanimous report concern ing the condition of the ssal herds and the diplomatic representative of the respective governments reaching am understanding by which they hope at a later day Ito effect final adjust ment, mot only of the Behring sea question, but of other pending border controversies. For the present, how ever, DO final action was taken as to the suspension of pelagic seaIiHS
 The Canadians urged alhat oner questions be embraced in amy plan uf settlement and suggested an internnr tional conference to accomplish thts end This proposition was fully dis cussed and am agreement was reached that the Canadian officials would put their views in w1iting after returning to Ottawa, and submit them to the authorities here. All the parties con- cerued say that the outlook is favor able ito a satisfactory adjustment.

FOOTBALL IN GEORGIA.

The cost of the land under the min eral laws, or sold in the usual way by the government, would be but a trif1e compared to the profits. Con
 gress is expected to stand between this new trust and tihe people, but the only alternative in sight seems to be gov
 ernent ownership, and there is little hope of salvation from that source. On April 1 next the Uncompahgre
 Indian reservation in Utah will be
 opened to settlement, all except the
 mineral lands, which are reserved by
 the governtment, The mineral laris
 embrace about 100000 acres The only
 mineral known to exist there is gil
 souite, or asphalt. Tine deposits of
 this character are computed to be the
 richest in the world.
 When the vast wealth lyi-g in this
 small area, awaiting only the consent
 of the government and the enterprise
 of man to bring it forth, is estimated,
 the discoveries of gold in the Klon-
 dyke region seem insignificant. & George Romans Eldredge, the United States geological expert, says in his report that 33,O00,O00 tons of asphultum can be mined in this ter ritory. AS every city in the United States is now laying asphalt pave
 menits, the value of this richest de- posit in the world can be understood The St. Louis corporation, which is now working lode adjacent to the
 reservation, is selling its product for $40 to $50 ton. Estimating the value of the deposit at $40 ton, the as
 phaltum contained in the lands to be
 retained by the government repre- sents a latent wealth of 1920, 100000.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Consul Mon aghan of Chemnitz, in report to the state department on German exports to the United States, says: Zee many is alarmed Exports to the United States are dropping off. Nothing so alarming has appeared in twenty years America was always the best customer in many lines of manufac- tures- In the September quarter of 1896 seventeen consular districts sent to the Limited States goods amounting to over $14, 100000. In the same quar- ter in 1897 the same districts sent $7,O0O,OO0. The average loss all over the empire is nearly 50 per cent.
 ''In many eases this indicates much more than a mere money loss to our revenues It indicates that the di- minution in exports from this empire is due to the Dingley bill. The pub lie is told to put little confidence in newspaper reports even if accurate. Each issue urges intelligent effort to retain the United States market"

If she should be left alone for five minutes in her room in the St. Paul city hospital. she would die Upon the efforts of the nurses she depends for all the air she takes into her lungs By compressing her chest through al ternate pressure and relaxation, day and might, relay of nurses keeps Miss Anderson alive. The work is endless, and is beginning to- tell on the nurses But if they stop, tlhe loss of a human life will be charged to them. Miss Anderson is afflicted with Land1y s paralysis, a form of paralysis which effects the muscles of respiration, and to some extent the limbs. The muscles of respiration do not perform their work. If the patient can be kept alive long enough, nature may remove the malady. A machine is now be- ing constructed for the, purpose of working Miss :Anderson's lungs me chemically, that the nurses may be re- ieved of the necessity of consta tant work However, an attendant will have to be in the room at all times to take the place of the machine if it should get out of order. It is possi- ble that Miss Anderson may continue in her present condition for years If so, the responsibility resting on her nurses will be unremiItting.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

New York, Nov. 16.-James B. Cas- tie of Honolulu is staying at the Wal dorf. He said yesterday: q had hoped to spend a quiet winter at home, but my government asked me Ito go to Washington as secretary of legation. I hope that the adoption of the annexation treaty will soon result in thla cutting off of the po- litical heads of the members of our legation.
 1.-The prospect for the early success of the treaty at Washington ssems to me highly favorable, but perhaps my strong interest in the matter and de- sire for the ratification may have made me too samguine. In khe Ha- waiian islands the sentiment among the white men overwhelmingly favors annexation. The opposition is con- fined to somle EngliShmen, a few Ger mans and a very few Americans"
