j. r.. Dodge Disputes Sir William
CrOOkes' Figures.

dispatch from Albany, n. Y, yesterday
says: j. r. Dodge, for many years statis-
tician of the United States Department of
Agriculture at Washington, has written to
the Country Gentleman an exhaustive an
swer to the address of Sir William Crookes
before the British Science Associa ton, in
which the latter predicted a great wheat
famine. He takes Sir William to task for
presenting inaccurate figures. He says:
Sir William Crookes declares that there
is already a deficit of wheat area of 81 900
square miles, or approximately 2O0oo, 900
acres IA her unreaSOna bly,, in view of the
TACT That this area. at present rate of Weld
would produce nearly 2G0,p00,000 bushels
while the European deficiency, which is the
principal one in the world, is by the Beer
bonn record only 2lo,a1o 600 bushels aver
age in the last eight years. He assumes
the present annual requirement for bread
is 2.:2i, 1000, 600 bushels of wheat while the
official and export estimate of the period
since 1880 average more than that figure
the compilation of such estimates for seven
years by the Department Of Agriculture
averaging 2,4I1, 50! 900. an excess of over

almost as lame in his statistics of con-
Sumption as he is in those of production.
really minimizing both. He makes the sup
ply of the year only 9o1 o09 eco while in
the statement quoted above The product of
1877, the smallest of seven years, is given
as 2,21 i,GVpoo0. 1t is very unreliable fore
cast that underStates production nearly 10
per cent. 1t would be Unchar rita BILE to hope
for scarcity of bread rations; still our
wheat growers would not feel very de-

The CrookeS view is distinct enCOur-

been put forth before. sometimes apparent

After twenty-five hours elaboration, the
jury in the Fayne Strahan Moore robbery
trial failed to render a verdict, and reported
the fact of disagreement to Recorder Goff

DELIVERY OF THE TREATY.
Return of the Peace Commissioner
to the City.

The treaty of peace between Spain and
the United States was presented to Presi-
dent Mckinley late Saturday afternoon as
forecasted in The Star. The commission
bearing the treaty arrived from New York
on a special train at 4:a0 O'Clock and was
met by number of friends and State De-
partment officials. The members of the
commission were congratulated by all pres
ent.
The commissioners proceeded at once TO
the White House accompanied by John b.
Moore, legal adviser, and the ladies Of the
party None of the commissioners had
packages of any kind, but MIR. Moore had
with him huge leather case containing
the momentous document.
President Mckinley and Secretary Hay
welcomed the party at the White House,
Judge Day being the first to grasp the
Presidents hand. So soon az all the men,
bers of the commission assembled the PrCsi-
dent led the way to the blue room. Arthur
W. Ferguson, whose work as official in
terpreter has been 81 satisfactory. was
present with the commissioners and Mr..
Moore.
The peace treaty was presented TO the
President by Judge Day. AS chairman of
the commission he said that ii represented
the earnest efforts of the American rep
resentatives at Paris and 1t was sincerely
hoped that IL would rebound to the peace
credit and glory of the American nation.
With the party ranged around him. the
President made brief response consratu-
latng the commissioners upon their work
and extending to them his best wishes.
After the presentation short time was
spent in informal discussion of the trip,
and then the party left for their homes,
Judge Day remaining with the President
for dinner and leaving with Mrs. Day at
40 O'Clock for Canton. senator Gray
went to his home in Delaware. Mr.. Red
returned to New York and Senators Davis
and Frye remained at their homes in this
city.
Until the treaty is presented to Congress
1t will remain in the keeping of the State De-
partment and no publication of Its con-
tents Will he made. The treaty, has
been stated in The Star, viii be submitted
to the Senate Immediately after the reas-
sembing of Congress. The understanding
is that the official existence of the Ameri-
can peace commission is terminated and
that if further negotiations between this
country and Spain are necessary they Will
be carried on directly with the Madrid gov
eminent or through an entirely new COM
mission.

English Army JealOusics.
From the LondoG Truth.

FROM the lcndoG 1rutn.
The Kitchener crisis is about to collapse
through the departure of Lord Kitchener
for Cairo. 1t has, however, been an excep-
tionally severe crisis while il lasted. Lord
Kitchener has for years been working pa
tiently, perseveringly, intelligently and
without counting publicity. His organiza-
ton completed. he advanced and captured
Khartoum. But Lord Kitchener encoun-
tered the Khalifa, not Napoleon, and won
the battle OF Omdurman not the battle of
Waterloo. The court and the country have
awarded a welcome to him which would
have sufficed for Wellington. 1t is an open
secret that the enforced retirement OF the
Duke of Cambridge from the post OF COM
mander-in-chief. and the subsequent ap-
pointment of Lord Wolseley to succeed him
were not approved by the court. and It is
commonly known that many officers are
not admirers OF Lord Woiseley. The
demonstration in favor of Lord Kitchener
has, therefore. been, TO all intents and pur-
poses, a demonstration against Lord Wolss-
ley, anG. IL might be added. against Sir
Redvers Butler. The court. the army and
the West End gave the pitch, and. Of
course, the populace roared even louder.

Triumph of Our locomotives.
IN the phila1eiDhia North American

FROM lHe lHlatielphla North American
The placing Of an order for twenty freight
locomotives with two weIl-known American
firms by the Great Midland railway of
England, one of the biggest railway cor
porations in the world, comes as cap
stone to the achievements of American
manufacturers during 1898. All the world
but England had recognized the fine points
of the American locomotive, and now Eng
land bows to our skill and ingenuity in this
line. A variety of circumstances has
brought about this happy consummation-
namely, the condition of the English build
ing trade, the increasing friendliness be-
tween England and the United States, and
lastly, and perhaps more than anything
else, the enviable reDutatio for merit
which our locomotives have made in every
quarter of the globe. This order, half of
which comes to Philadelphia, is but the be-
ginning. we believe. Our locomotives have
never been used anywhere without the
creation of d demand for more of the same
kind and with the types which We shall
send them in filling the first order in sue
cessful operation, there can be little doubt
that the American locomotive will so fix
itself in the favor of British railroad OFF,
Gals that further orders will be forthcom-
ing in due time.

EIFFEL TOWER REPAfNTED.
1t VIII Look Like a Ladder From the
Clouds.

From the New York Herald.
The Eiffel tower, say the gentlemen Of
aesthetic temperament, must go. The
Elfel tower, say the gentlemen who know
the law, must stay for some years yet
The Eifel tower, say the aesthetics is
ugly, discouraging to the eye and an all
around nightmare. ''Scaffold," cries the
carper. Down with it! 1t has no place
in artistic Paris
'lmpossib!e!" objects the law. when
the company took a lease of it they got it
for term of twenty years. You can't
break the lease, and the time limit is no.
where near up.
"Eut," urges the aesthetic look at the
shape, look at the size, look at the color,
Is not the whole thing hideous? If we can't
destroy 1t, We can at least improve it and
lessen the OffenSe to our senses"
And so the EifTe tower is going to be
metamorphosed. 1t has been in color
reddish brown. and it is the color To which
the gentlemen with fine ideas have long
OBJECTED. They have called the tower
shameless creation, and repeatedly ridi-
culed the commonplace tone of hue And
ROW they have prevailed and the tower is
going to be thing of beauty. so far as
tint goes. Silver white is the color agreed
upon, and 1t is urged that when the army
of workmen have finished their painting the
huge structure Will look really not so bad
after all. Half hundred men will be en-
pioyed on the building. working hard every
day for two months. And $4,000 Kilograms
OF paint will be used up before the Eiffei
tower has fully lost its brickdust coat and
hnds Itself afrayed in the poetic covering
which the aesthetics have advised. Two
coats of paint will be applied and the
brushes will be busy
1t has been objected that the tower has
always had the appearance of having been
cast up IN an inartistic form by a careless
earth The tower has seemed to rise awk-
Wardly from the ground, the critical have
SAID. Why not give it such an arrange
ment as would suggest the idea of dropping
from the cloud? That would be pleas
Ing fancy, and if the huge tower We're
iighted at regular intervals ii would pre-
sent "a picture as of brilliant creature of
the clouds, and all the world would be lost
In admiration. These plans were suggest
ed when the exposition of 1900 was under
discussion, and they have been adopted.
A ladder from the clouds. That was the
idea. And with that the aesthetic taste
was forced to be satisfied.
The Eiffel tower has long been the uni
Versal bed lamp of Paris. The great cam
die in the top would be sadly missed, even
by those who have fought against the con-
tinuance of the structure. That ever-sway
ing lantern is one Of the wonders of the
French capital.

Astonishing Figures OF Prosperity.


From the New York World.
The year is SO nearly ended that its sta
tistics can be made up with almost exact
accuracy. Some of them are both aston
ishing and picturesque:
l. We have sold to other nations more of
our products than we ever, did before, the
figures being 81, $50, 100000 this year, against
81 GD. so! last year-a gain of more than
sl3o,Ooo,ooO in one year and a gain of $780,
10000 over 1885
?. We have sold more goods to other coun-
tries this year than has any other nation
In the world, our exports exceeding even
those of Great Britain by more than $780,
600 600.
That is to say, We have become the great
est exporting nation in the world
3. We are buying less than ever before of
other nations, SO that our excess of exports
over imports is nearly double what it ever
was before. In 1897 it was 1857 ,0G0, GOETHE
highest figure ever reached. This year it
Is about $6O0.000,0O0. And there has been
an excess every year since 1880.
1t Is no wonder that, besides paying off
enormous Indebtedness abroad and buying
enormous amounts of American securities
there, We have imported during the first
eleven months of this year about S135, OO0,
oOo In gold to balance accounts.

1t is a curious and almost anomalous posi-
ton that Dawson occupies. There are few
if any towns of its size in all the world so
locked away from the outside world for
nine months in the year. Think of IL A
city of 5000 souls. and the center of dis
trict of 10000, live, busy city, with the
streets thronged with men, its big ware
houses, its growing interests and civic prob
lens. shut away entirely for at least three
months in the year, during those seasons
when the ice is forming and breaking, and
with only occasional laborious communica-
ton during three other months. Whatever
happens of fire or food or fortune, it must
remain for many weeks Or months unknown
to the larger world outside.
