pears to be much pleased with the sue

IT WAS SENSATIONAL

Berlin, November 24.-Despite at
tempts to maintain secrecy regarding
the matter, it has leaked out that Col.
Picquart's deposition before the court
of cessation was sensational. Col. Pic
quart, it is said, broke down and ap-
pealed to the judges to simplify his ter
rible ordeal
1t is believed that the courts demand
for the secret document will lead to a
renewed conflict between the military
and civil authorities. 1t is understood
that NJ. De Freycinet, minister of war,
vainly appealed to Gen. Zurlinden, the
military governor Of Paris, to grant
Col. Picquart provisional liberty.
Much indignation is manifested by
the Dreyfusites at the decision to try
Col. Picquart by courtmartial.

SERIOUS TROUBLE
With Members of the Third Alabama,
at Admission, Last Night-- Several
Men Shot.

Admission, Ala, November 24.-Mem-
bers of the Third Alabama negro regi-
ment, with murder in their hearts,
caused the greatest excitement tonight
that this town has ever known. Short
ly after dark Private Gildhart, of Com
pany B, Second Arkansas, while re-
turning TO camp from town, was shot
in the head by a negro soldier, who
also stabbed him in the back. Gildhart
was taken to the regimental hospital.
A little later a member of the Fourth
Kentucky is reported to have been shot
on Walnut street by negro soldiers who
lay in a gulley shooting at the white
men who passed. Firing was heard in
Liberia, the negro quarter of the city,
which is not far from Walnut street,
and squad of the provost guard went
to investigate. AS it turned the corner
of Fifteenth and Pine streets, a large
crowd of negro soldiers, without warn
ing, opened fire upon the guard with
Springields, the gun in use IN the regl-
ment. The guard returned the fire, but
had few cartridges and soon mad to re-
treat. When reinfOrcementS and am
munition were secured the negroes had
disappeared.
In the engagement Sergeant DOdsOn,
Third Tennessee, was shot in the arm,
and Private Graham, Third Tennessee,
in the stomach. Ii any of the negroes
were shot it is not known, as no dead
or wounded have been found. Two
members of the provost guard are miss
ing. When news of the trouble became
known, white soldiers who were in the
ri txy J. hn nd
headquarters and begged for guns and
ammunition, but were refused. Citi-
zens armed themselves and repaired to
the scene Of the battle. Mayor Hight
had the saloons closed. Several negro
soldiers, one with a Springfield which
had just been fired, were arrested in
various parts of the city and locked up,
though it was with difficulty that the
Infatuated white soldiers and citizens
were prevented from wreaking sum-
mary vengeance upon them.
Armories OF the two local military
companies were broken into and every
gun and cartridge appropriated by IN
known parties. Gen. Frank, who is
in command of the troops here, came
out and was on the street until a late
hour. Gen. Colby, commanding the
Second brigade, brought IN two COM
panies each of the Third Tennessee
and Second Arkansas. They secured
the city and carried all soldiers not on
duty back to camp. A member of the
Fourth Wisconsin is said to have been
shot, but the report cannot be verified.
One negro soldier, while under arrest,
was shot in the arm by citizen. After
the engagement at Fifteenth and Pine
very few negroes, either soldier or civ
ilians were to be found on the streets,
but firing has been heard at intervals
in various pCrts Of the city.
A negro soldier was dangerously
beaten by some white soldiers on
Tenth street this afternoon and this
incident is supposed to have caused toe
riotous action on the part OF negroes
who are said to have slipped out of tho
camp through the guard lines:
Later-One negro soldier has just
been brought in dead and another ia
tally wounded.

at the same hour of the day. At the
last call he leaves his walking stick,
and If he is to win the desired bride
the cane is handed to him when he
calls again. but if he is not regarded

is made to understand that further
calls will be useless.

both gold and silver at 1C to |. or any
thereabout ratio. would be for 1t to
lose what gold it possessed, because
that metal would surely go where 1t
was rated higher.
although the efforts of the commits
sion were brought to an end by the
refusal of the government OF India to
join the movement, the director con-
siders the failure indirectly due to a
growing feeling that the rapidly in
creasing product of gold has radically
changed the situation from what 1T
was ten years ago, when the gold pro-
duct seemed to be at standstill or de-
clining. 1t has changed to Indifference
or opposition the attitude of many who
then feared an approaching standard
but who are quite as much opposed to
depreciating one.
Great as was the worlds production
of gold in 1897" continued the director,
amounting to the value of S237,5O4,-
800, and exceeding that of 1896 by $34,-
s22, 800, it is, judging by the returns
already at hand, certain that the pro-
duct of 1898 will be still greater.
Stocks of gold in sight in European
banks and government treasures from
December, 1892, to December, 1897, in
creased about $55, 100000, or over forty
per cent. The stock of sold in the
United States increased in the five
years S95,A57,O0 The increase in the
gold holdings of the banks of Austria
liza, Canada and South America was
about Sis 1000. Total gold thus ac-
counted for is 1850, 450, 900"

In letter to the State Department
under date Of March 4th, 1928, Walter
Schumann, United States consul at
Mainz, Germany, writes:
ln my report dated January 9Th, 1893,
] mentioned that American dressed
leather wus finding it's way into German
markets.. Since then | have investi
gated the matter more thoroughly, aud
find that American dressed leather ia
greatly preferred by the local shoA anu
huot manufacturers to tho German
article, or, in fact, TO that of any other
country. 1t is the fault of our Ameri.
uan leather manufacturers AMI dealers
III they do not succeed in gaining per
manent foothold and become formidable
competitors in the German markets
provided, Of course, that the present
Import duty on leather remains un.
changed.
So far, however, our A american leather
manufacturers and dealers in general
(of course, there are few exceptions
have not given their export business Ia
this country tho proper attention, and
seem to regard Europe merely as a good
dumping ground in times of overpro
duction at home. One of ths largeHt
houses OF this district told me that they
had actually gone to tho expense OF
sending representative TO the United
States in order to induce our manu-
facturera to send their goods to this
country. If the initiative has to he
taken by the customers themselves, il
shows lack of interest on the part OF
our manufacturers and dealers.
In order to promute American in
terests in Germany, l would suggest
that number of our manufacturers
whose interests do not clash, and who
manufacture the various kinds of leather
required in thu German markets, com.
hine TO establish general agency In
this locality, which ia tho centre of the
German leather industry. and consigu
full lines Of their goods in bond to this
city, as convenient point for dis
trlbuiion, so that orders can be filled
promptly. l have the assurance of local
dealers thnt large and profitable bust
moss can he done. One of tho local HOUSES
has expressed its willingness to enter
into negotiations looking toward the
establishment OF such a general agency
on a large scale, with headquarters in
this city and agents throughout the
country.
Consul Schumann's Suggestions arc
very good, hut something more is needed
and can only be supplied by the Con
gress Of the United States. And that
need is reciprocal trade arrangements
between this country and Germany, in
stead OF hostile tariff on our part.
The feeling in Germany with respect to
American products is very bitter, and
has already resulted in the practica
exclusion of our apples and meats. Il
we expect to soil to a foreign country
we must also buy of it, for reciprocity il
the very life of profitable trade Re,
ciprocal trade arrangements with Ger
many would no doubt result to the ma
torial benefit of the United States.

Washington, April CT may no Of
some interest to Dalawhreans to know
that ever since tho destruction Of the

TO the White House almost every day

regarding the iresidnnte proposed

Ever since the Spanish question as.
