pressing satisfaction in the cordial feel
ing which had characterized the meet
ings OF the last ten days.
The contention of the American rp,,-
resentatives Is that the Bering sea oues-
tion Is the hrst thing to be disposrl Of
and that the suspension of pelagic seal
ing can not be put off till action Ia ma
tured on reciprocity, border immigration
and other subjects. The Canadians are
equally insistent that they will not sur
render on the sealing question without
al the same time securing action on all
the other subjects, which, to them, are
Of quite as much Importance as The
Bering sea question. Their suggestion
OF commission, therefore, will contem-
plate the assembling of duly authorized
commissioners, to be appointed by the
president and by Canada, to consider
all pending question. and, II possible,
negotiate treaty covering q settlement
Of all Of them. This plan necessarily
implies the suspension of action on the
Bering sea question for the present.
1t is understood that while the United
States representatives have no objection
to commission. they will insist hat
the first preliminary to il is suspen-
sion, by modus vivendi or other expe-
dent. temporarily, If need be, of pelasic
sealing.
1t developed today that Secretary
Sherman had written a letter to Sir
| Wilfrid Laurier which may have an i'm
portant bearing on the Canadian nego-
| tiations. The letter is not made public
| and all persons cognizant of 1t are very
| reticent concering 1t. 1t is said this
| letter resulted from the divided respon.
sibility of the officials here, Gen. Foster
having charge of the Bering sea mat,
ter, Secretary Gage of immigration. Mr.
Kasson of reciprocity, etc, etc. While
| each of these officials are desirous OF
making friendly arrangements with the
Canadians, there was no one person who
could consider the subjects homogeneous
ly, granting a concession on one sub
ject for IN equal concession on another
subject. This being recognized as ar
embarrassment to the negotiations, it Is
understood that Mr.. .Sherman's letter tc
Sir Wilfrid suggests means for d
broader discussion of the relations he
tween the two countries.

Washington. Nov. 16.--Consnl Nora
CHAN, at Chcmnitz, in q report 70 the
state department on Germany's exports
to the United States, says.
Germany is alarmed. Exports TO the
United States are dropping Off. Nothing

years. America was always the best
customer in many lines of manufactures.
In the September quarter of 1896 seven
tren consular districts sent to :he United
States goods amounting to S14,4SS,4 Ala.
In the same quarter in 1897 the same
districts sent $7,1S9112. The average
loss over all the empire is nearly 10 pr
cent. In many cases this indicates
much more than mere money losses to
German revenues. 1t indicates dimi-
mutton in exports from this empire, ,lua

to put little confidence in newspaper re-
ports, even If accurate. Each issue urges

THE FOREIGN WHEAT CROP.
Difference of Opinion as to the Ex-
tent of the Deficiency.

tent Oh tne DenclenCys II
Washington. Nov. 16.--- The agricul-
tural department has issued it's month
ly review of the foreign crop situation.
Much attention is devoted to the grain
crop of Russia, especially wheat, on ac-
count of it's magnitude as q factor in
the European supply. The review says
that all accounts agree in representing
the wheat crop as deficient, but as to
the extent of the deficiency much diff
fereLce of opinion exists.
The review says the estimates of the
Russian crop are so uncertain that their
reproduction would be of doubtful
utility.
The preliminary official figures for
France show reduction of 26 per cent
below last year and II per cent below
the average for ten years. AZ for hye
years France and Russia produced ~
per cent of the worlds crop, the re-
view says, heavy shortage in both
countries would, therefore, be sufhcie1t
in itself to produce a very sensible effect
on the worlds supply, independent OF the
Danubian and Balkan countries and else
where and the shortness of the last crop
in India, Australasia and Argentine. In
Germany rye, which is the principal
bread grain of that country, has been
officially estimated per cent less than
last years crop. The various estimates
for Austria Hungary are more. or less
conflicting, but there is no doubt as TO
there being a heavy deficit in the wheat
crop. The wheat crop of the United
Kingdom is estimated at DW6,OOCJ
bushels. The preliminary estimate % ei
the Italian wheat crop makes o y 90, 3D.
131, 900 bushels against l43.'zz'"'

The Roumanian wheat crop is estl-
mated at 37,134, 100 bushels. a,,

good resulting from the exercise Of
roller skating. are entirely obviated and
the foot cycle has been demonstrated to
be entirely noiseless. There are three
wheels supplied with each foot cycle,
two in front and one behind, and Il is
on this tricycular form Of the device
that the beginner learns. One of the
front wheel is easily detachable and the
continuance thus becomes a bicycle,
upon which form, the inventor claims,
the highest and easiest rate of speed
may be developed and the most intricate
of fancy tricks may be performed.
The action in foot cycling it is said TO
bring into use all the muscles exerted
in ice skating, as the motions are pre-
cisely similar. In skating every mus
Gle is continually brought into play. II
this claim OF the inventor is well found
ed the foot cycle will fill place In the
athletic development Of young people.
Skating has been recommended as an
ideal means for the development of
grace and symmetry in the human
form. The ordinary cycling costume
Is perfectly adapted TO foot cycling, and
as most women doff the artificial sup
port OF the corset when riding bicycle
the benefit to the intercostal muscles
and those of the back should be very
great and do much for the undoing of
the admitted evils of tight lacing, while,
restoring that sense of strength and
self-reliance without which n graceful
carriage cannot be permanently nc
quircd.
But il is not for itself alone. and the
exercise IL promises, that the foot cycle
bids fair to become exceedingly popu-
lar. 1t is claimed that, owing to its
ingenious construction. the device af-
fords it's user complete control over all
motions, forward, backward and side,
and command quite impossible with
either ice or roller skates. III this Is cor
rect, then team games Of foot cycle polo
and golf, with the sports slightly modi
fed TO suit the conditions. and even
tennis,may provide us with n new series
OF novel and exciting indoor games for
the winter months-a field which is re-
stricted. It Is also claimed that an ex-
citing and amusing sword tourney, per-
formed by opposing teams armed with
single sticks, has been invented espe-
cially for the use of foot cyclists.
