REPORTS FROM coNsULs.
Much General Information From
Various Sources

Much General Information From
| Various Sources.
In the advance consular reports given
out for publication at the State Depart
ment yesterday was much interesting in
formation.
Consul Morris called the attention of
the department to the provincial exposi-
| tion of East Flanders, which will be held
at Ghent during the Summer of 1899. be-
ing opened June Il While the principal
exhibits will naturally be made by resi-
dents of the province. there will be de-
partment for foreign exhibitors. There
will be exhibits in fine arts, indust: ial
| and liberal arts. hygienic and life-saving
apparatus, instruction and science, lit
erature (Flemish and French), woman's
work, alimentation. horticulture, agi-
culture, fruit-tree culture and pomoIcgy,
agriculture; lighting. heating and venti-
lating apparatus; sporting goods, mill
tary arts, export trade and colonial prod
ucts.
Consul General Du Bois, writing from
ST. Gall, Switzerland, states that in Au-
gust, 1898, Swiss exports to the Uni ed
States amounted to $56S, us, an increase
of 5000 over August, 1897. These are
the first two Augusts under the new tar
iff. and the increase has taken place in
spite of the war and the assertions of
exporters here that the action of the
New York custom house would greatly
reduce shipments and thus curtaii the
revenue
Consul Cooling reports from Newcastle,
England that there is a project to es-
tabiish iron works in New South Wales
capable of manufacturing steel rails.
Offers will be received from people hav-
ing command of considerable capital.
While the quality of iron ore, adds Mr..
Godding, is not the best, those inter-
ested are determined to utilize it in the
manufacture of heavy steel rails.
Consul General Winslow, writing from
Stockholm, Sweden. states that at the
close of 1897 the Swedish government rail-
roads mot private corporatiOns) to-
gether with their real and personal prop
erty, were valued at $50 600, ,0J0.

THE ICE SYNDICATE.
The Great Falls Company Not in the
Combine.

Combine
So far as can be learned the consolida-
tion of the local ice companies under the
control of the Knickerbocl1er Ice Com
pany of New York has not been accom-
plished further than in the gaining of
control of the Hygienic Company by pur-
chase OF the total issue of its stock
The only other of the local ice companies
which have spoken on the subject is the
Great Falls Company, which, at a recent
meeting of its board of directors, declared
that such a proposition had never been
considered-for the reason that none had
been submitted. This, however, is not TO
be construed as meaning that had the
proposition TO enter the combines been
made ii would have been accepted.
The only business transacted at The
meeting of the directors was the declar-
ing Of the usual dividend of per cent.
From other sources it was learned that
the proposition is not being considered
by any of the other local ice companies.
The transfer of the property of the Hy-
gienic Company to the Knickerbocker
Company will not result in any changes
in the management. Frank p. Davis will
continue as manager and the president,
Samuel Curriden. will represent the
Knickerbockers in this city.

IT MAY BE MR.. NORTH.
Can BE Superintendent of Census If
He So Desires.

The presence in this city for the past
| several days of Mr.. S. n. D. North has
been source of considerable amount of
| speculation with no small portion of this
community. While Mr. North appeared
as member of the industrial commits
sion that has just ended the labors Of
| its session here, the fact of his being a
| part of that very distinguished body Is
not all that has surrounded him with
peculiar attractiveness. The most in
terest has been shown in him for the
good reason that he is very likely to be
the superintendent of the next, the
| twelfth, census, and the census office is
a very welcome concern to many an as
| piring candidate for government place.
1t is pretty well understood by Mr..
Norths acquaintances in Washington.
and he has many of them, that the Pres
idents attention has been directed to him
In connection with the census, and that
he has been favorably considered. That
is, his qualifications for the place have
been forcibly put to the executive and
he has formed very pleasant opinion of
him.
1t has been stated that the President
requested the superintendent of the last
census. Mr.. Robert 2. Porter, to aga n
assume the duties of the office. There is
no doubt that this Is true But Mr. Por-
ter is said to have had all he wants of
the census. He served in the tenth CEN
sus under Gen. Walker and had charge
of the eleventh census work. He got lit
tie credit and much abuse for his labors.
and does not care to undergo further
census Office experience. Besides, Mr..
Porter is now enjoying most lucrative
and honorable position in New York-a
much better paying position than the su-
perintendency of the census would be.
II was Mr.. Porter who brought Mr..
North to the Presidents notice Mr.
North also served under Gen. Walker in
the tenth census. and in the eleventh CEN
sus under MIR. Porter. Mr.. North is
native of Boston. He is about fifty years
old, and for years past has been presi-
dent of the Wool Growers Association
of America. He Is one of the best in
formed men in the country on the manu-
featuring industries of America and Eng
land and the world generally. and is re-
garded as one of the foremost of statis-
teal experts.
When approached on the census sub
ject Mr.. North was not inclined to talk
much. Il have not been requested to
take any part in the twelfth census he
said. THE experience / have had in
census work does not fill me with desire
for more. In fact / have no wish TO
have anything TO do with it, and do net
know that my name will be considered
in connection with it
This statement is judicious. 1t might
not be modest for Mr.. North to say that
he had been consulted by the President.
and that he had reason to believe that he
can have the census superintsnde.cJ If
he wants it. Yet it is said that If he
should assert both he would not BE- vo-
latine the truth and this fact is well
understood by his friends here.

WILL TAKE FIRST PLACE.
Consul Boyle Says american Cotton
Is King in Englund.

In a report to the State Department,
which was made public yesterday after
noon United States Consul James Boylc.
at Liverpool has this to say on the sub
ject of cotton:
Undoubtedly in this uhe Liverpool
market American cotton is king. Mr..
Thomas Ellison, of Liverpool, is rec1S-
nized both in the United States and in
this country as one of the greatest l.ins
authorities upon the cotton industry. In
recent article in the Liverpool Daily
Post he says that American cotton Is rap
idly supplanting native and Indian and
Chinese cotton In Japan. The United
States figures have held third place since
1890, but this year they will take second
place, and, if prices remain low, the
American fiber will eventually take the
first place.
There is generally, both on this side
and in the United States very compla-
cent and even confident view taken as to
the future of American cotton. Most peo-
pie ridicule the suggestion of competition,
yet it is worth while TO consider the pos
sible effects of the changed conditions
growing out of recent events in the Far
East. Take Egypt, for instance. The
high quality of Egyptian cotton is testi-
fed to both in England and the United
States, by the price 1t commands. The
production of Egyptian cotton has up to
the present, been limited, but the opening
up of the Nile Valley and the Soudan
by the Anglo-Egyptian forces and the
consequent establishment of civilization
throughout that region may lead to a
substantial increase of production of cot
ton and lowering of price The Lon
don Globe a short time ago announced
that the government of India was intro
ducins Egyptian cotton into that vast de-
tendency. The British Blue Book shows
that in 1883 there was imported into Eng
land Egyptian cotton to the value of s26,-
O73, ,0l0 and in 1897 it increased to s31, 5l4,-
42I. In 1896 the expectations of Egyptian
cotton from the Liverpool consular dis
trict alone TO the United States amounted
to $40 29i, and in 1897 the expectations in
creased to $1,656, 300. In 1898 the value of
the cotton imported from the United
States into the United Kingdom was $780,,
i7O,654 and in 1897 it was sis, ,3i9, ,5l3 The
importations into the United Kingdom
from India were in 1898 only about one
ninth of the importations from Egypt,
and they have fallen off considerably
since then but with the introduction of
Egyptian seed into India it is thought
that there may be considerable increase
of growth and consumption of Indian cot
ton. Those who look forward to the pos
sibilities of competition between Egyptian
and Indian cotton on the one hand and
American cotton on the other, argue that
American cotton has almost reached its
lowest point in the cost of production,
while the cost at Liverpool of Egyptian
and Indian cotton will grow less and less
as facilities for cultivation and trans
portation increase. Not only is the Egyp-
tian product of a very superior quality
but it reaches this market in the best
condition of any cotton. Then there are
possiblities-remote, of course-as to Chi
nese competition"

"One of my former classmates, Mrs
Z. Kinsley, of Westfield, Mass, seemed
greatly surprised that / had never used
Postum. The family were very enthusias-
tic over its effects upon them Said they
could not enjoy life without it. The ply
sician had recommended total abstinence
from coffee, as she had injured her di-
gestive organs by using it and was con-
sidered a confirmed and incurable dys-
peptic, but when put upon Postum Cereal
Food Coffee, she Immediately began to
get well. and left off the drugs and the
coffee Now she is able to eat anything
she likes without the least symptom of
disease. Her life before had been one
of suffering, and it is now one of en-
joyment. She said 1t would be impossible
to speak too highly in its praise
when l was in Westfield eight years
ago I visited Mr.. Albert Atkins. who
was then a very great sufferer Both
he and his friends did not think it pos
sible for him to live more than a short
time. I found him so well on this visit
that I insisted upon knowing what made
the change. He said he had visited
every point of the compass and tried al
most everything he had ever heard rec
ommended, but all of no avail, until he
was led by the Postum Cereal articles to
suspect that the little coffee he drank
was really poisoning him day by day.
and from the very time that he quit cof-
fee entirely and began to use Postum he
began to get better. He is a very wealthy
man, and travels a great deal, but saws
he never leaves home for one night with
out his outfit of Postum
While at Jamaica Plains. Mass, I
visited retired sea captains home. He
said in all his experience, far and near.
on land or water, he had never found any
beverage that would compare with Pos
tum Cereal Food Coffee. While he used
to drink coffee he suffered with head
aches. drowsiness. and an unnatural
thickening of the blood, but since quitting
the common coffee and using Postum he
was free from all his ailments. / drank
my first cup of Postum with him. and 10
my surprise found it a very delicious
palatable drink, which I have since used
with favorable results. I cannot tell half
of what I heard in praise of Postum dur
ing my visit in the East. 1t is sufficient
to say that Postum has a very firm foot
hold with my Eastern friends
81 wish to add that on one or two oc-
casions / have had Postum served to me
rather fiat. but always know in such
cases that 1t is simply because 1t has not
been allowed to boil long enough to bring
out the delicate and well-known flavor"
