LONDON, Oct. 23.-The special COM
nlittee sent to Germany by the cor
poration of Manchester, in order to dis
cover the cause Of England's Industrial
decadence, found extraordinary deVel-
opment of technical education abroad.
Aid. Crossfeld member of the COM
mittee, said: The English workers
are half savages when compared with
the intelligent artisans of Germany.
Councillor Pythian, a member OF the
Amalgamated Society Of Engineers, re-
marked: The engines and dynamos
made in Germany put to shame most
of the work in the English shops"
These are but types of the impress
sions coloring the whole report of the
Manchester committee, the tenor of
which is amply confirmed by the multi
plying signs of the illusory character
of the British pretensions to industrial
supremacy.
The American line steamer St. Louis,
which sailed for New York from
southampton today had on board
Pierre Lorillard, the American horse
man. After spending two years IN
Europe he declares that he will pass
most of his time in the future on this
side of the Atlantic. He will winter,
however. on a house boat in Florida;
for. after two winters on the Riviera,
he has concluded that Florida is more
healthy as a winter resort. MI. Lorll-
lard took gloomy view of the condl-
tions prevailing in the United States
and said to a reporter OF the Associated
Press: European capitalists have so
utterly lost confidence in the United
States that not even McKlnley'S cleo
tion treasures them. The English,
French and German investors cannot
be persuaded to invest cent in United
States railroads or other business in
the United States and have withdrawn
all their investments except from such
Industries as breweries Were it not
for the socialistic political forces, the
United States would command millions
of money now idle in Europe. L do not
see how our politics could be much
worse. In New York the Republicans
by keeping two tickets in the HELD, Will
return Tammany to power.
Marshall Field, Of Chicago, sa1ls 1or
New York on Wednesday next. In con-
versation with reporter OF the ASsocl
ated Press, he said: Il fail to find
Furopean confidence in the United
States returning with our improving
business. and it never will until our
currency system is settled on Ilfrn,
rational basis. l hope England has
nut an end to the bimetalllc negotla-
tions. | cannot understand why she
should have given so mucn encourage.
ment to the monetary commissioners.
Mrs Robert Mccormick. OF Cnlcago,

ten hounds, which she purchased IN
Paris for $3.50, which has been the SUP

an exchange of several missives, the
signature of a cabinet minister was
obtained to permit for the dog TO

to any public place. Accordingly the
animal was given an asylum at the
limited States embassy and has been

NOT THE PRINCES PAL.
The Greater New York election
amenities are followed here with con-
siderable interest, especially the pre-
sentation of Richard Croker as
crony of the Prince of Wales. The
London Figaro on the subject says:
"The impudence of the New York poll
ticians is laughable to those who know
the extent of the Prince Of Wales, ac-
ouaintance with the Tammany chler
When Croker brought his race horses
here he was introduced to Wales In the
character of a great supporter OF the
turf. Immediately, however, the run
ming of the American horses fell under
suspicion and Croker was dropped from
the royal circle like a hot potato. AS
Il was. Croker never progressed fur
ther in intimacy with the Prince OF
Wales than on one occasion to offer
him a light for his cigar"

cess of Wales, the Duchess of New
