Prussin's Amber Monopoly.

FROM tne London News.
The working of amber in Prussia is
monopoly in the hands of a firm which
owns the two best mines Palmnicken and
kraxtepelle- Fer the concession it has
according to report from the British con-
sui OF Dantzis, to pay to the German gov
eminent d royalty of 650,OGU marks a year.
1t is reckoned that this firm has, I'D to
now. paid no less sum than $1,000 in
royalties to the German government. In
addition to the output from the mines in
1885. a good deal of amber was picked up
on the beach at Pillau, in the province of
East Prussia, being washed up with the
sea weed during the prevalence of north
westerly gales. The shore at Pillau after
storm Is sometimes covered with a layer
of seaweed three feet thick, among which
the amber is found entangled. Men, wo-
men and children find easy and lucrative
employment in searching for the amber
along this part of the amber coast The
people engaged in this precarious work Of
ten earn ST day and more. In 1895 about
100 tons of raw amber came to Dantzig 20
be worked up, as compared with 40 tons
In 1871 1t was nearly all melted to make
lac and varnish. The larger pieces are
made into beads. which are sent all over
the world. The beads known to the trade
as Leshorn corals were in strong demand.

TOURISTS PURCHASES ABROAD.

Treasury Agents Estimate That They
Amount TO SfO,tO0,OtU Annually.
From The New York Press
Special treasury agents of the customs de-
partment at this and other ports have de-
Cided that 1t is a duty of all Americans to
make their purchases at home, or, If re-
turning from abroad, to pay duty upon
every article of foreign manufacture which
has not been in their possession for one full
year.
They have under investigation at the
present time the amount of merchandise
brought to this country by returning tour
lists, and have reached the decision that at
least s4O,o03,000 worth of property-gowns,
bonnets. hats, wraps, leather goods, cloth
ing, pictures and presents-come into this
&C untry in the course of a year free upon
which duty may be assessed.
For a week incoming passengers have
been Intercepted by special treasury
agents to the value of their purcha SEES
abroad. The passengers have, Of course,
been in ignorance of the reason for this in
quiry.
Some of the homeward bound have stated
that they bought nothing. others that they
have expended $1,000, s1,S0O or $3.50 for
clothing and other articles abroad. Would
a 800 limit suit them?'
why, that was absurd they replied.
They could buy nothing for $780,
The agents soon decided that no passen-
ger would be satisfied if limited to the 500
for personal effects of foreign manufacture
permitted by the Dingley bill
1t was ascertained that probably the re-
port of the special agents would be that
since tourist was satisfied with s1W,
worth of foreign goods, and it seemed i'm
possible to raise that limit, that the priyi-
lege be cut off entirely, and all goods of
foreign make, except such as had been in
the owners possession for year, be de-
clared dutiable.

TELEPHONES.

The Economist of France has been
giving some of the details about tele-
phones in that country. There are 112
towns which have the telephone, and
among them they number six millions
of inhabitants, and 1871 subscribers,
half of the subscribers being in Paris.
But in Paris the number of subscrib-
ers is one in 253, while at Cannes, It is
one in every 1870. The use of the tel
ephone is far less than it is in Ger
many.
600 millions of communications, in the
latter there were 424, 100000, excluding
Bavaria and Wurtenburg. Switzer-'
land with one-tenth the population Of
France, had 29,533 subscribers and 49,
100000 communications. In Switzer-
land the cost of the telephone is more
than covered by the receipts, in
France the contrary is the case,
though in the latter country the sub
scription price is higher.
In the Island of Oahu the number
of subscribers, according to the tele-
phone list, is 1858. The population is
a little over 10000, so that we have
subscribers to the telephone at the rate
of about one in forty, which is very
much larger percentage than in any
CITY in France But our telephone Sys-
tenn is thoroughly unsatisfactory. 1t
is not an isolated case of complaint
that has been made by the Bulletin
against the Mutual Telephone of this
city and Island. The complaints come
from all directions. There is no
doubt that the service is bad, and with
the large subscription list it should
be good. The telephone is a public
necessity and should be kept up to the
top notch. 1t is not. When the pub
lie finds that it's desires are not COM
piled with it usually finds a means of
getting what it wants, be it a change
of government, or be it satisfactory
telephone system. AS long as the
Telephone Company shows DISPOSE
ton to do it's utmost to please the pub
lie, it will receive the support of the
public: when it puts itself in opposi-
ton to the public, it must not be sur
prised if another company is formed
and telephone war instituted.
