 Consul Abercrombie, at Na,gasakiA < submits an article in the same reportI upon the Formosan tea trade, which is interesting from the fact that it exhibits the beneficial influence upon the quality of this tea resulting from the legislation of the present Dingley tariff act. He says that over 90 per cent of the Formosa tea exported goes to the United States, and that the tea shipped during this season is valued at B, 400, 900. The United States regula- tions which prevent the importation of impure and unwholesome tea has caused the Formosan teas to be much freer from dust and broken leaf than usual.
 The last article in the number is by Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, upon German textile exports. He describes the effects upon these exports of an ticipatory shipments to forestall thaa tariff bill and the falling ofr immed ately after the enactment of measure.

RECIPROCITY WITH ENGLAND
Wants Freer Trade for West Indian
 Colonies

Washington. Jan. 14.-Fhere is reason to believe that Great Britain will again take the lead of other na- tions in the negotiation of reciprocity treates under the Diagley tariff act. While other natons were lodging c01n- plaints against the terms of the - and of the very limited advantagee fered by the reciprocity clauses, tho British embassy here has been at work quietly carrying on negotiations for series of treaties extending the benefits of so much reciprocity as may be obtained under the act to the Brit ish possessions in the West Indier Sir Julian Pauncefote has been at the state department several times recent ly, and matters are advancing to a point where it Is expected some of the officials of the British colonies will be called into the consultatio-s prior to signingg an agreement, as iSoSs- tomary when British colonies are con cerned.
 It is. said that the old reciprocity treaties, which were set aside by the Wilson act, will still serve useful purpose as the basis for the new agree ments, though 1t will be necessary to amend them in order to allow for the changes in business and commercs that have taken place since they were drawn.

A Chicago Eoman Beats of Two
 W0uld-Be Robbers
THEN SHE PAINTED AWAY
Brave Battle of a Typewriter on
 a Street Car
Her Only Weapon Came From Her He adgear. But 1t Frightened the HighWaymen More Than the Blows of Strong Mon.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Two men who last night tried to rob Conductor War ren Symington of a Blue Island av- enue cable train were foiled by a wo- man passenger named Miss Sadie Williams. Besides Miss Williams there were three other passengers-an- other woman and two men-and the gripman.
 Neither of the male passengers nor the gripman came to the help of the conductor, who was having a des- perate fight with the robbers in the car. Just as the robbers were getting the best of the fight she concluded to take a hand. Grabbing her long hat pin that fastened her hat to her hair, she made plunge with the pin on the robber nearest her.
 All her strength was lent to the thrust, and the man screamed with pain. He released his hold on the conductor and turned on Miss Will quit the fight. Miss Williams went for the next man and she made a thrust for his eyes. The point of the pin struck his cheek.
 ''Take her off," cried the robber. He turned to look for his companion, who by that time was on the plat form making ready to jump. He was asked to come back, but he did not. Meantime the young woman was strik- ing for more vital spots than his face. She reached with her pin for his stomach His thick clothing saved his life.
 The conductor was then bleeding and in a half dazed condition. When he came to his senses there were but two persons on the car. The other passengers, whose names could not be learned, had gone, and so had the rob bers.
 the robbers had disappeared behind some buildings, Miss Williams re- placed her hatpin and then asked the conductor if he was hurt. He was not. Then she tainted. She was soon revived, however, and escorted to her home
 Miss Williams resides with her par ents, and is employed as typewriter and stenOgrapher in one of the down town offices. She is small of frame but it is said that she has the courage ! of a soldier.

DEBT OF CENTRAL PACIFIC.
Government Will Probably Soon h.
 stitute Foreclosure Proceedings.

Washington, Jan. 14.-It is stated On good authority that up to this time the government has taken no steps looking to the initiation of proceed ings in foreclosure against the Cen tral Pacific railroad, which is said to have defau1ted in it's payments to the government on January 1. It is said, however, that representative of the company recently had a conference with the president, Secretary Gage, and Attorney General McKenna, with a view to a final settlement of the companys obligations without placing the road in the hands of a receiver. No definite proposition, it is under stood, was made either by the com- pany's representative or the govern ment, and nothing has occurred be- yond the recent informal conference, which would indicate that a serious effort was making to avoid a fore closure suit.
 What the government will ultimate ly will do in the matter cannot be au- thoritatively stated, but there are good reasons for the belief that it has been the intention for some time to begin legal proceedings soon after the first of the year, in the absence of a satisfactory proposition for a settlement. Owing to the many claims and counterclaimss involved, it is not possible at this time to state the ex- act amount in which the company de faulted on January 1, but the amount of the due and unpaid principal on that date was $1O, ,614,120 The other items in the account are: Balance of interest due the United States, $35,- S52, ,719; bonds redeemed by the gov ernment prior to January 1, $6,074,- coo; accrued interest, $504 ,333. Against this total of $53 ,045,17 the company has $7,513, $50 in cash and bonds in it's sinking fund.- There are also judg- ments and claims against the govern ment unpaid amounting to $2,473 ,366, which leaves a net balance on Janu- ary 1 of 43,o5S, ,J66. On January 1, 1898, bonds will mature to the amount of s9,197,Oo0, exclusive of accrued in- terest.

Worden. condemned to death for train wrecking, have received the at tention of Governor Budd, who will take the matter under consideration at once.

How the Prussians Took Possess sion of the Coveted Asiatic Sea- port ana Contributory Territory. They Will Obsy.

New York, Jan 14-lAccording to the Washington correspondent of the Herald, the navy department has re- ceived from Rear Admiral McNair, who was recently relieved from duty in command of the Asiatic station, a copy of the following proclamation is sued by Admiral won Dietrich, com the Asiatic station:
 sHTo all concerned with reference to the cession of the territory: I, high commissioner, in obedience to the commands of his imperial German majesty, have landed a force of ma rines and have taken and occupied Kiao Chou bay with a cluster of is lands to the left within the boundaries set forth below: On the west in a straight line from the coast through miles) from Kiao Chou to the west at high tide; thence in northerly direc- tion to Ia Pa Ehr, where a custom house is located; thence to the con- f1uence of two rivers, Kiao and Tako, and proceeding eastward to the east coast on to the center of Laoshhn bay; the eastern boundary to run from the said center southward to the Chiate and Chalif islands. The above de- scribed is fo be held by Germany for German missionaries in the province of Shang Tung, and it is but reason able that China should be called upon to make due reparation. The said territory is therefore taken as a guar antee that such satisfaction would be e1ven as my government may desire.
 ''I have also to observe that rela- tions of amfty and friendship have always existed between my empire and China and in the interruption of peace some days since, Germany made every effort in coming to the rescue, exhibiting thereby a spirit of neigh borly friendliness. The landing Of a force at present must not be con- strued as an act of hostility to China and you need not harbor any misgiv- ings or suspicion on this point. More over, 1t will be the duty of officials to protect all law-abiding people to the end that tranquility and peace may me maintained and on the other hand severe punishment, in accordance with Chinese law, will be inflicted upon all evil-doers creating disturbance Should there be any fierce ruff1ans to injure German subjects or interests 1t will rest with Germany to take measures for their protection and let there be no resistance. A willful violation of this will not only prove of no advantage, but calamity may overtake the evil doer.
 ''Oficers of the Chinese government will, however, still continue to exer- else their official functions in all good faith within the territory occupied by the German forces but hereafter should there be eases that cannot be personally disposed of, they should b; presented to the government of tho brigadier-general as the military va. men for attention and adjustment. Al regards the buying and selling of land it will not be permitted unless ths sanction of the government be frs obtained.
