Senator Rawlins ought to have the

towards securing the location of a
mint. Letters and petitions forwarded
to the senators and the congressman
from this state, and to those from

The wsrehouse System.



Recent consular reports indicate that the Eng
lish and German manufacturers are considering
plans for initiating the American warehouse sys-
tenn of securing trade which has been so success
fully inaugurated at Caracas, Venezuela. The es-
tabshment of this warehouse, or Showroom,
at Caracas by the National Association OF Manu-
facturers of Philadelphia, is experiment that
has attracted the attention OF the entire indus
trial and commercial world The system Is an ex
pansion of the idea embodied in the Philadelphia
museums OF trade and industry, where every va
rietv of manufactured article and raw products
is displayed According TO the last report from
Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz the Germans are
about to adopt the Philadelphia idea in reach
ing out after trade in the Orient. leading ar
ticle in a local official organ points out the pos
sibilities of further increase in the German trade
in China and Japan, and recommends the opening
OF sample rooms, similar to the one at Caracas,
as most likely TO give the largest returns for
the smallest expenditure of money and men. 1t
is represented that ito exhibit goods IN Bombay
and Calcutta Pekin. Shanghai and Hong Kong,
in Yokohama and Toxic, for year, is worth
a century of circulars by mail. Since the re-
turn of the Lyons commission France is reported
to be organizing syndicates to extend trade,
which send out and maintain agents to show sam
pies and obtain orders. If Congress makes provi-
sion for the commission, as recommended by
Secretary OF State Day, it will find its field OF
greatest usefulness in facilitating the work OF
establishing showrooms for American products in
the chief cities of China and Japan.

A WASsHIP STORY.
The Eject On an Officer of the Rigid
Discipline of the Navy.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser)
The forward twelve-inch handling room
in the Iowa furnishes an amusing story.
This room is twelve feet below the water
line, and. like the stokers, the men there
are out Of sight and hearing. They work
hard during a battle, but they work in
the dark so far as the progress of events
IS concerned. and they have TO trust
blindly to those of us who are doing the
nghting When we started for Cervera's
ships these men knew the battle of our
lives were on, and / do not know with
what feelings they went below. But j do
know that the ammunition came up as if
delivered by machinery.
AS they worked in the Stiffness how
ever, crash came. A siX-inch shell had
entered cur side al the water line and ex-
ploded right over their heads. They could
not see 1t and it sounded as If some
heavy water-tight door had dropped, or
like a shell falling down the ammunition
hoist. So they did not know what had
happened. Their imagination was free,
but their hands were not, and they
worked on without a word. Meanwhile
the shell had started a fire and half
dozen hose were turned on the flames.
Perhaps more water than was needed was
poured on the place.
At any rate, a lot Of water flowed down
through the valve drains into the am
munition room. II was a great help to
the Imagination. for the men had not the
Slightest clew to the source of the supply.
The ship had a slight list to starboard
and, Of course, it was within the possi-
bilities that the water was being let into
as by the Spanish. The men looked at
one another. then al the officer in COM
maad there. He did not seem to see the
water. More water came, and il came
with a rush.
''HuIy gee" said one of the men, but
it's wet.''
''we'H get soaked I guess" said an
other.
The passage up to the deck from the
ammunition room is very crooked and
marrow.
Think fellow can swim up out Of
here?" asked third man.
They were addressing one another but
the whole conversation was an invita-
tion 10 the officer to speak up If he had
any Ideas, 10 say something reassuring
But though the water splashed all about
him. he did not pay the slightest heed 10
It, At last one Of the men could not help
speaking.
do you notice that IT'S water sir.
that's coming in here, sir?"
The officer looked at the man. then at
the water, then at the man, then back to
the water.
Yes he drawled finally, yes, it's wa
ter. But what the hell you expect-whis
ky?"
That was all that was said. The men
exchanged glances. looked at the officer
and then, as one of them said:
We let the damned water flow until
II got as scarce as whisky. We didn't
care a whoop If he didn't, even if we
sank
II is said that some whisky did leak
down into the ammunition room after the
fight was over

But let the error that Spain has asked for peace

peace. The President has not indicated terms
further than to say that Spain must get out OF
