on board, Captain Dreyer, her commander,
and five others having died of that dread
disease. scurvy which so often breaks out
on board vessels from the far East. The
Olga sailed from Surabaya on April 5.
When about two months out from port
the disease first made its appearance and
one by one the men were taken, until the
ships company was reduced to four men
able to be about. Captain Dreyer was
among the first to be stricken. He lasted
only few days. suffering great agony.
Then the mate took charge and he, too,
was stricken down, leaving in charge of
the vessel men who had little knowledge
of navigation.
When St. Michaers was reached a new
captain was taken aboard and the fateful
voyage was continued. The Olga upon her
arrival to-day reported that all on board
of her were we'll. She is now waiting
orders and will probably come to this port
to discharge her cargo.

INVADING EUROPE.
Demand for American Productions in
All European Misunderstanding
Beer to Germany.


WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-The United
States consul at Vienna, in report to the
state department on the trade of Austria
hungary for 1897, ascribes the general de-
crease in exports to this country to the
fact that the same goods are now manu-
factured in the United States and can be
soid there at the same or lower prices than
the Austrian goods. The report is that
American silk is being sold in Lyons, the
real silk center in Europe. and that French
manufacturers are buying it in large guam
titles, and practically that used for lining
purposes, to take the place of that formerly
imported from Austria and Germany There
Is falling off in the demand for pearl
goods and for glassware, due to the popu-
larity and superiority of the American
product. 1t is frankly admitted there, the
consul says. that the American cutgiass is
finer and more elegantly cut than any
manufactured in Europe. The American
bicycle, according to the consul, is finding
favor with the wheelmen, Notwithstanding
its higher price over those of domestic
make. He thinks that if the United States
manufacturers desire to get their wheels in
TO the foreign market they should be sat-
ished with a little less profit and try to
make easier terms for their agents. The
Wneeis sent from America are generally
without mud guards, brakes and other ne
cessities and the agent is put to the addi-
them.
There is a growing demand for American
canned goods, but high prices prevail be-
mddlemen.
The consul at Antwerp, Belgium, reports
mat the exports from that country TO the
United States in 1896 We're valued at 49, 49,
ioo, an increase of per cent over the pre-
cedlng year, and the imports direct from
the United States in 1896 We're valued at
S51 oc4,s0o, an increase of 81 per cent over
1885. An important increase in the con-
sumption Of beer is noted. amounting to
about fifty-one gallons per capita. Figures
are also presented showing a large increase
IN importations in a number of articles
from the United States for the first eight
months of the fiscal year 1897 over the
corresponding period of 1895. notably in
starch and non-edible products, timber,
rye, barley, oats. corn and buckwheat.
From the Client consular district re-
port on the commerce for 1896 says the cot
ton mills are employing more and more
American cotton. The demand for the raw
material is annually increasing by reason
OF the larger number of spindles set in mo-
tion. The Importation OF American hard
ware on the market shows considerable in
crease. The introduction of American BIZ
cycles was also marked during 1896 and
with present quotations United States
manufacturers will strongly compete with
their foreign rivals.
