MANUFACTURES AND COLONIES.
The Policy Of Nations Who Make More
Articles Than They Can Consume.


Articles Than They Can Consume.
There has recently appeared under
authority Of the state department in
Washington table showing the rela-
ton which the colonies Of certain Eu-
ropean countries bear to the home
country, and from il is seen that four
of the governments of Europe-Great
Britain, France, Holland and Portugal
have colonies larger in respect to
population than the homo country,
while two other European govern
ments, Germany and Denmark, have
colonies larger in territorial area than
the home country. II is more than
a coincidence that the governments
which have colonies are, for the most
part, those which are conspicuous in
manufacturing Industries, while il is
observable that in nearly every case
the agricultural countries OF Europe,
notably Russia, Austria, Spain and
Sweden, either have no distant colonies
remote from the home country, or are
on the point of losing those colonies
which they have, aud the same is true
OF Italy and Turkey.
The figures show that all manufac-
turing countries under the impetus OF
steam power, electricity and modern
invention are able to produce consid-
erably more than their inhabitants
can consume and, the home market
being insufficient, recourse has been
had to foreign market artifcially
created by the colonial expansion OF
the kind now generally favored By
tho.s who are seeking TO get for

DO NOT FAVOR 1T.
Army Onicers Disapprove OF the Proposed
War Investigation and Predict Its
Ultimate Failure.

Washington, Sept. 1.-two Of the
gentlemen selected by the president US
members of the commission TO investi-
gate the conduct Of the war have prac.
tically accepted, Col. Sexton and DR..
Gilman. Favorable responses are
looked for from Gen. Dodge and DR..
Keen. thus insuriug four members Of
the body. The difficulty which is be-
ing experienced in the construction OF
the proposed commission for the in
vestigation of the conduct of the staff
branches OF the army during the war
with Spain has excited some dis
cussion in military circles us to
the possibility OF the practical
failure of any investigation by q
commission. 1t develops that there Is
q decided disapproval among army
officers of the proposition to have the
conduct OF the war investigated by q
civil commission which cannot be
clothed with any judicial authority.
The objection Is not on account OF any
civil authorities interfering in mill
tary matters, but is due to the fact
that testimony before q commission
not possessing judicial authority
would be, In q manner, voluntary, and
would, it is said, put officers in the
attitude Of gratuitously giving testi-
mony which might be damaging to in
dividuals or to the administration Of
the war department

Lawton last night that Gen. Maxine
Gomez the insurgent commander-in'

the command OF the Cuban army to

less notable than the heroism Of the COS.
One Of the most earnest members OF the

active work. A year or 90 ago, when she
was nearing fifty years Of age, the time
when women must be most careful Of their
strength, Mrs Houseweart was taken seri.
ously i'll. The family physician told her
that she had reached critical period OF her
life, and must be very careful. His pre-
scriptions and treatment did not benefit her,
and other treatment proved unavailing:
At last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with in:
disputable evidence that they were helpful
in cases such as hers, and with renewed hope
she tried the remedy. Last March she took
the first box Of the pills, which gave much
relief. She was determined to be cured,
and kept on with the medicine, until now
eight boxes have been consumed, and she
feels like new woman:
Mrs. Houseweart said: II have taken
eigh. boxes, and have been improving since
have lived without the pills. They have dore
