Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1898-12-22

A statement by writer in LIlluStra-
ton that Limoges porcelain is super
seding that of Sevres and Dresden IN
the art markets of the world will patu-
rally direct attention to this historic
old town, which is achieving new dis
tinction from it's most celebrated man
ufacture. The town itself is one Of the
Oldest in France and has been celebrat-
ed for other things than it's famous
porcelain, having given four popes to
the Church of Rome and been renOWn-
ed from medieval times for it's monas-
tic, conventual and educational inst1-
tutions. Since the French revolution,
when it's ecclesiastical institutions
were secularized, it has lost it's former
scholastic and ecclesiastical pre-emi-
nence, but it is still one of the most IN
teresting and picturesque towns, to
which it's famous art industry has CIV
en- world wide renown. 1t was in l76S
that beds of kaolin were discovered at
Limoges, but as at that time Sevres
had monopoly in the porcelain art
and competition was forbidden, but lit
it's until within the present century.
Now the great factories, the kaol1q
quarries and works present scene OF
busy activity. The supplies of the pre-
cious deposits seem practically mex
haustible. It is found in all states from
pure white-used only in the finest
porcelain, to blue, purple and black.
The quarrying of the product is after
a primitive fashion, but owing to the
care with which it has to be handled
this is probably the best. 1t is dug out
by the workmen with small trowels or
spades. They deftly separate it from
the veined varieties, and it is then car
ried in wooden trays or pans on the
heads of French girls to the tram cars
above. The new distinction the LII
moges ware has won will probably lead
to even greater activity in it's manufac-
ture.

A report ON the financial conditions in

says:
1.-The financial crisis through which the
colony is now passing Is attributable to
many causes, but can be traced imme-
diately to a short time ago. In 1892, 1898.
and 1894. the exports and imports bal
anced. In 1S9i-'95. the sugar crop fell OF
rs per cent, and at the same time the
price of sugar diminished. The quantity
and value of the imports, however. in
creased. curious state of affairs en-
sued. Bank drafts remained nominally
ct per cent premium, but on the market,
drafts readily brought 30 and 35 per cent
premium. The bank consequently had to
suspend issuing drafts.
EARLY In 1897, II sold some drafts at
Is per cent premium. but later again
suspended exchange operations. In April,
the rate of exchange was lowered to 26
per cent. For short time there was no
restriction on the sale of drafts. Now.
the bank sells only on dates of sailing Of
the English royal mail boats. Business
is stagnant and feverish. Merchants are
using every effort to collect money, and
the price of provisions remains very

Can Dock the Maria Teresa.

Norfolk. Va. Nov. 3.-Constructor A
W. Stahl. of the Gosport navy yard.
said yesterday that the story sent out to
the effect that the measurements of the
Maria Teresa would make it impossible
for her to be docked here, is untrue. The
Teresa's measurements are. length. $40
feet; beam. 65 feet: draught, PIG feet;
displacement, 1900 tons. The dock means
urements are, length, 800 feet; width at
entrance, 70 feet; depth of water at mean
high tide. 25 10 feet. The constructor
said the Maine, with an actual draught
of 22.S feet. was docked here December 6,
1897, without any trouble, and that the
Teresa could. of course be docked. being
of less draught than the Maine. Com
modore Farquhar said today that he had
no official information of the Teresa be-
ing ordered here. but that Congressman
Wise had given him to understand that
he had given personal assurance that the

cepting his reelection to a seat in the
upper house of Congress. He discussed
the problems that confront the United
States Government in its relations to its
recently conquered territory. and said:
THE United States must assume some
responsibility in the Far East, be it
greater or less. In my opinion, 1t Is
bound to be greater. Many wise citizens
advocate the retention of a coaling sta
tion only in the Philippines, but if any
jurisdiction is assumed in the islands
there is no legal stopping short of the
whole of the Philippines. Since that May
morning when Dewey destroyed the Span
ish fleet in Manila harbor it has seemed
to me that Spain must abandon her SOW
ereignty in the Philippines. Anything like
joint or divided government there would
inevitably result in trouble"
