IMPORTS FROM ENGLAND.
America Making Small Purchases
From the United Kingdom.

New York, Nov. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Some
interesting facts about American com
merce with Great Britain are obtained
in the October statement of Trade
and Navigation of the United King
DOM" just received by the treasury
bureau of statistics. This shows that
despite the small purchases which the
people of the United States are making
from Great Britain sales to that coun-
try continue to increase. In nearly all
of the great classes of goods for which
American producers are seeking a mar
ket, the October importations into the
United Kingdom from the United
States were in excess Of those in pre-
ceding years, while the exports of man
ufactures from the United Kingdom to
the United States were in most cases
smaller than those in earlier years
Imports of bacon from the United
States in October, 1898, were 9474, $40
in value, against e363,S S4 in October,
1897; those of hams, 93O3, 635 against
$751; SS in October of last year; Of

Copyright, 1888, by the Associated Press.)
London, Nov. 26.-The recent compar-
atively mild weather which has pre-
vailed in Great Britain has been inter
rupted by a thorough blizzard in many
parts of the country, especially in the
north, where the snow drifts have been
several feet deep. Three men persisted
in the snow in the highlands, a train
was blown off the rails near Tralee, Ire
land, numbers of fishing boats have
been lost, many fishermen have per-
ished, and the Irish mail boats and
croSs-channel mail services were inter-
rupted or seriously delayed. Trains
have been showed up at several places,
and generally the snow storm is con-
sidered to have been the worst for
many years. The severe weather
reached as far south as the MediteT
ranean, where a French transport,
bound for Tunis. was obliged to return
to Toulon in a damaged condition. She
also reported that some of the recruits
on board of her were killed or injured
during the storm.
Queen Victoria. who has been enter
tanning extensively at Windsor this
week, received a visit from a man
named Mathews, described as an Amer
tcan, who presented himself at the Gas
tie with a bundle of papers under his
arm and asked to see her majesty. He
said he had just come into a large
property, through the death of his
grandfather, and he wanted to consult
with the queen about it. The authori-
ties found that he was q harmless
crank, and they sent him back to Lon
don.
The dislike of the queen for the late
William f. Gladstone was well known,
but since the death Of the great states
man, her majesty has given several
proofs Of her kindly regard for Mrs.
Gladstone, the widow. She has written
frequently to the latter, tnquiring very
compassionately regarding her health,
and expressing the hope that her be-
reavement has now lost its keenness.
There is some discussion this week as
to whether the queen will again go to
the south of France next spring, in
view of the Anglophcbe feeling eXcit-
ed by the Fashoda dispute. Outbursts
upon the part Of the French newspa-
pers are having a certain effect, and
letters are appearing in the English
newspapers, urging that pressure be
exercised in the proper quarters to in
duce the queen not to go to the French
Riviera, but to go to Florence instead.
RELIEF FOR SPANIARDS.
The Countess Casa Valencia, wife of
the former Spanish ambassador of that
name, has written to the newspapers,
appealing for funds to be devoted to
the relief of the wounded Spanish SOL
diers and widows of the slain. AS gen
erous contributions already received
will not suffice to meet the widespread
misery existing among this class of
unfortunate Spaniards, a three days
bazar viii be opened at Downshire
House on Dec. by the Infanta Eulalia.

EQUIPPING THE ARMY.
Quartermaster Ludington Reports On
Operations of His Office.


Washington, Nov 26.-The annual re-
port of Quartermaster M. I. Luding-
ton reviews the operations of his office
to the close of hostilities with Spain.
Treating of the war as affecting the
quartermaster generals department, he
said to properly clothe and equip this
large number of soldiers for active
operations in the field was a problem
of vast proportions. Many difficulties
were in the way. Contracts were
promptly entered into for all the ar
ticles of clothing and camp equipage,
for which there would be an early de-
mand, great care being taken to pre-
vent the supply of articles Of inferior
quality.
The kerseys and fiannels of standard
quality used for making army blouses
were not to be had in the market, and
it was necessary to have them manu-
featured In the meantime the depart
ment, as far as possible, endeavored
to procure articles conforming as near
ly as possible to existing standards,
but had to resort at first to some ex-
tent to the purchase of dark blue
trousers, so that the men might be
quickly supplied.
With all the perpleXing difficulties
confronting the department in the mat
ter of clothing and equipment supplies
in the short period of three and one
half months. an army of 275O00 was
equipped with such supplies, and the
army in Cuba, consisting of 10000 men,
leaving their tentage behind, arrived at
their camp at Montauk Point, New
York, and found a complete new outfit
of tents and clothing ready there for
them.
During the war period animals were
purchased costing SO, ST., $50, and wagons
| and harness costing 1858, 499.
During this same period SPOTS tons of
coal were purchased.
General Luding7ton discusses in de-
tail the transportation during the war.
He says: From April l, 1891, to the
breaking up of Camp Wikof the ag-
gregate movement of troops by rail
amounted to 1883 officers and 49,, $50
men. Low rates were secured by the
quartermaster's department in making
these movements, generally not exceed
ing cent per mile for passengers and
in many cases much less, and about
one-half the prevailing rates for freight,
in excess of $50 pounds per man carried
free. From the declaration of war to
June 80, 1898. this department chartered
for service on the Atlantic and gulf
waters forty-thTee vessels, with a total
! tonnage of 104 POI, and a, carrying ca
pacity of 1887 officers, o. 800 men, with
their arms, ammunition, equipment
medical and subsistence supplies, and
6,746 animals. There were also char
tered four water boats, with a total
capacity of $4,000 gallons; three light
ers, two tugs and one barge; also two
barges purchased.
The combined fleets on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts at the close of the
fiscal year consisted of sixty-nine yes
sells of various classes, with total ton
mage of 1853 tons, and a carrying
capacity of over 81, 600 men, The total
expenditure of fitting up these vessels,
as far as reported to June 80, 1898
amounted to $3.50. 632.

On the other hand, the exports from
Great Britain to the United States are
in nearly all cases similar to those in
October, 1897, despite the fact that they
were abnormally smaller in that month,
because of the excessive importations
in the months just preceding the en-

Philadelphia, Nov 26.-Thomas W.
Barlow, receiver Of the Peoples bank,
has notified the depositors of that in
stitution that the remaining 10 per

close every known contested claim

OUR CAVALRYMEN.
They Are the Best Soldiers In the
Whole World.
Handy Men Who Can Fight on the Ground
or on Horseback-Ten Regiments Of the
Best Equipped Rough Riders
4 on Earth.

Up 10 comparatively recent date
individual hersemanship and the train
ing of horses received little systematic
attention in the cavalry service. The
nature of the duties required of that
arm Of the service, which kept it in the
field from the early grass until the
SHOWS of winter-and frequently all the
winter-made it impossible to engage
in instruction beyond the simplest
movements of the drill regulations.
No adequate facilities were afforded
at the recruiting depots for instruction
in equitation, and cavalry recruits rare
ly knew anything beyond the manual
of the carbine and saber when they
joined their troops. The men and
horses frequently arrived on the eve of
a campaign, and even during a cam
paign.
After a time the men made good SOL
diers, and in some respects good cav
airy soldiers. The handy men and
those who had some previous knowl-
edge of horses and riding caught on"
but the inexperienced, the clerks,
shopkeepers, foundry men, ETC.. who
had never been on horses back, kept
the surgeons busy patching up their
skins, and the veterinarians busy
patching up the horses skins. When
II new man and a new horse came to-
gether it was tough on man and beast.
Nothing could be done in the way of
horse training beyond riding them
with stiff curb BIZ in the column day
after day. Field work is a good school
in many respects, but ii is Impractical
BILE to instruct new men in the many de-
tails absolutely essential to make
horseman, and it is impossible to sub
