The following story of the mayor of Falaise is related by the Boston Herald:
 It was dark in the streets of Falaise.
 The mayor ordered that every citizen should hang a lantern in front of his door.
 But still the streets were no lighter.
 Then the mayor swore an oath and issued a proclamation that the citizens should put candles in the lanterns.
 And still the streets were no lighter.
 Then the mayor swore a great CT oath and issued a proclama- ton that the citizens should light the candles.
 Then the streets were lighter. A man once wished to make money.
 He secured a good store.
 He secured good goods.
 He secured good clerks.
 He made no money.
 Then he turned on his store the light of newspaper adveriis- ing and let the people know he was in business and why. He kept them in the dark no longer. Then he made money.

GROWTH OF AMER1CAN SHIPPING.
Report of Commissioner Cham rlatn
 of the Navigation Bureau.

Washington Oct. 16-Compla te re- turns received by Commissioner Cham berlain of the navigation bureau of the treasury department show that the doc umented American merchant shipping on June 30, 1898, comprised 22,705 yes sels of 4,749,738 gross tons, compared with 22,6 ,633 vessels of 4,769,020 tons on the like date in 1897. The decrease of 19,2S2 tons is more apparent than real as 1000 tons of this amount is due to dropping fractions of tonnage in the accounts and 66713 tons were sold to the navy and war departments to carry troops, supplies and provisions and have merely changed employers The total steam tonnage amounts to 6,712 vessels, of 2r371 ,G23 tons, comp4r-d q with 6,599 vessels of 2,35S,55S tons for the previous year. The vessels sold to the government were all steam vessels, so the true increase is greater than the figures indicate. Sailing vessels have decreased from 1904, 153 tons for 1897 to 1,S35,S2 tons for 1898. Documented canal boats and barges amount to 541,- SSS tons compared with 506,309 tons for the previous year. The increase is chiefly in barges, which are superceding sailing vessels, especially in the coal trade.

SPANISH CABINET MEETING. Letter from President of Spanish Peace
 Commission at Paris.

Madrid, Oct 15.-At meeting of the from Senor Montero Rios, president of the Spanish peace commission at Paris. The impression is that the situation is neither better nor worse than it has been for several days. According to one member of the cabinet, the com missioners have not yet taken up the question of the Philippines. The min isters, however, are very reserved General Weyler and Senor Romero Y Robledo, with several friends, are go- ing to Andalusia. This excites consd- erable comment.
 La Epoca, the conservative organ renounces the suggestion of La G0rre- spondencia Gndependent and semi .oIi. ciaD regarding arbitration between the United States and Spain. It says: '"1he negotiations at present are going on without touching the question of the Philippines, which is most obscure and which lends itself to the gravest dis sensions. Owing to the vagueness ard lack of cIearness of the protocol, the COIliIu SslOItIS are HleelllS WllH SeTiCuS difficulties. It has been said that 7 our adversaries are obstinate ill their cX- aggerated demands, Senor Sagasta should address the European govern ments asking arbitration at least upon the points upon which an agreement should be reached but in View of the elective struggle now in full vigor Tn the United States and of the declan a. tions of the jingo press, which aiEl ms without limits the rights of the con- queror, it is safe to assume thatsa re- quest for arbitration would be without avail and serve no other purpose than loss of time"

T am on my way to see Secretary Hay said he, "as the special representative of the republic of Liberia to secure q protectorate, either quasi or actual" /" Whether an actual protectorate can be established or not will depend on how far the Liberian government is willing to go, assuming that the United States consents.

THE FORESTS OF AMERICA.
Government to Undertake the Improve
 memt of Some of Them


 Washington, Oct. 16.-"Practical as- sistance to farmers lumbermen and others in handling forest lands is the title of Circular No. 21, Division of For estry, by Clifford Pinchot, forester, soon to be issued by the United States de- partment of agriculture. This circular states that the forest lands are owned by the government of the United States, by some of the states and by private owners. The private forest lands exceed in area those of the fed eral government and those of the states combined, and their preservation is of vast importance to the nation. These lands are held for profit, but as rule the treatment they receive is calculated to destroy their value rather than to sustain or increase it.
 Therefore the division of forestry has undertaken to provide a series of prac- tical examples of improved treatment of private forest lands, in which the in- terest of the owner and the protection and improvement of the forest shall have equal weight. The object of the
  methods of handling timber lands are best for the owner as we'll as for the forest, by assisting few owners to try them and then publishing the methods and results for the benefit of all. The division, as far az it's appropriation will permit, will aid the owners of both large and small holdings, on receipt of applications stating the situation, area and character of forests for which working places are desired.

The masthead light in his opinion, should have been an oil instead of an electric lamp, as that event it would not have been extinguished, but would have fur nished beacon to guide the life-boats. MT. Williams, the company's manager, says the disaster Is utterly inexplicable. The vessel was new, and he asserts, we'll found, while the captain and crew were most reliable. He says the crews fo the company's vessels have con- stant practice and he is indignant at the insinuations regarding the condi- tion of Captain Griff1ths.
