England Delagoa bay is the most

must he accepted with reserve until the
foreign ohIces confirm 1t. The alleged
payment Of 25,OOO,OOO marks for Ger

OF this kind has been expected in diplo-
matte circles for several weeks since

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-The publication by

She was a woman who would never talk

Mrs. Smith died suddenly on May 13.
She left no will and no papers showing
where her property was. i7All efforts to find
the banker have failed.
Between 1886 and 1891 he sent checks to

The greater portion OF this was raw ma
terial. Falmouth's imports from the
United States in 1898 consisted of maize
valued at sl09, 1854, timber valued at s1c,-
s1S.62, and phosphate valued at S13,o04o3.
The value of declared exports from Hud-
dersfeld TO the United States for the fiscal
year 1898 was 1897 4S7.49. Consul Ben
jamin F. Stone says that the market for
American goods in England is slowly but
evidently widening. The old-time distrust
or indifference is distinctly disappearing.
Although the average Englishman still
clings to his belief in the superiority of
all things English, he more and more
notes exceptions to his rule, and today
there is more than ever general and
hearty recognition of the great value of
numerous American products and a grow
ing admiration for the superior fneness,
finish, quality, and adaptation of Ameri-
can wares in all departments.
The report from Liverpool says that the
past year has been the best one in history
for trade in American products in that
district, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that ii will grow. While the hs-
ures covering the importatons at Liver
pool from the United States are not avail
able, there is not the slightest doubt that
more American goods, both agricultural
and manufactured, came into that port in
1897 than in any other year; and even the
exports TO the United States in 1897 show
a substantial increase over those Of 1896.
The declared exports from Liverpool TO
the United States for the nine months
ending September 80, 1898, were valued
at 1880, 500. being a decrease of $4,320,-
$40, as compared with the same period in
1897. The figures for the quarter ended
September 80 1898, were s4,261. 224, being
an increase of s66l .944 over the correspond
ing quarter of 1897
The sale of American bicycles has in
creased enormously in this district during
the past year. An American bicycle of the
highest grade could until recently be
bought for S25 cheaper than an English
bicycle of the same grade. There were
Two reasons for this: First, the English
bicycle manufacturers do not use up-to-
date machine tools and the output OF the
workmen is far less than in America; sec
ond, there has been combination among
manufacturers and dealers over here to

About ten years ago number of Amer
lean women convened representative as
sembly at Washington, and organized the
National Council of Women of the United
States.
The National Council of Great Britain
has just been formed on similar lines, and
the two together constituted the nucleus
of an international council, with Mrs.
Fawcett as its first president
National councils of women have been
formed in Canada, Germany, Sweden, New
Zealand New South Wales, and Italy. The
movement is taking shape in France, Hol-
land, Denmark, Belgium, Finland and
Switzerland.
Among the subjects debated of late have
been the care of children. women's work
in local government, the organization of
the nursing profession. the work of visit
ors in prisons, the training of elementary
teachers. and the appointment of police
matrons.
The council may claim to have broken
down prejudice, to have promoted mutual
understanding, and TO have worked out
valuable suggestions; and it is scarcely too
much to say that every woman in the
country who has done distinguished work
has taken an active part in these debates,
or at least has sent her sympathy. An
other five years has passed, and the Eng
lish council invites its sister councils TO
meet at a common centre, round which in
formation of the works and opportunities
of women in all parts of the world will
be gathered.
Among the better known of those attend
ing. who will either preside, read addresses,
or speak. are Miss Agnes Repplier, the wit

JERSEY CENTRAL EARNINGS.
ENtraoardinary Improvement in til
Anthracite Coal Trade.

Anthracite Coal Trade.
The extraordinary improvement in the
anthracite coal trade. is shown to a certain
extent by the official statements of the
Jersey Central apropos of which Messrs.
Fahnestock & Co. have issued the follow.
ing letter:
THE gross earnings of the Central Rail-
road Company of New Jersey as reported
for two months ending April 80, 1899, in
creased S592, ,426 (33 per cent over the
earnings for the corresponding period in
1898, and the net earnings increased
$3.50, 1867 az per cent.
During the period of ten years ending
December 81. 1898, Jersey Central paid in
dividends s12, ,179, ,359, an average per annum
of SIS per cent on capital stock out
standing. Moreover during that period
the sum of So, ,606, ,506.S4 was carried for
ward to profit and loss as balance in ex-
cess OF dividends paid, being an average of
$500, $50 per annum.
THE recent marked revival in business
on the lines of Jersey Central is not due
alone to the betterment in the anthracite
coal trade. More than one-third of the
gain is in revenue from passenger and
merchandise traffic.
THE increased, and increasing, income
permits the company to make liberal ex-
penditures for repairs to roadbed and
equipment, the operating expenses being,
OF course, increased by this policy which
the company is now following.

MAINE WRECK FORGOTTEN.
No Move Made Toward Raising the
Wrecked Cruiser.

NEtthtu tFuistE.
Washington, Aug. 22.-lt is more
than n year since the signing OF the
protocol which gave the United States
control over Cuba. The wreck Of the
Maine has been lying in Havana har-
Dor all this time, and apparently no
'pody connected with the government
has given il n thought. Since Havana
is no longer under Spanish rule inquir-
les will do something toward bringing
the torn and twisted mass of steel to
the surface.
The inquiries have drawn attention
to a curious condition of affairs. The
wreck of the Maine is no longer i'm the
jurisdiction of the navy department.
Even if the secretary of the navy
wished to do anything about it he
would have no power. 1t would be n
piece of presumption in him to under
take to raise the wreck or to attempt
an Investigation of il. The harbor of
Havana, with the city and all the rest
OF Cuba, is under the control of the
war department, and any steps which
may be taken would have to be taken
by the military authorities. The Off
Gals of the war department have not
considered the question. They appar-
emily are not aware yet that the Maine
comes no longer under the navy. One
very high officer remarked off-hand
when he was asked whether anything
was TO be done about the Maine, "Oh,
that is a navy affair. 1t does not come
up here at all"
It is safe to say that nothing will be
done toward raising the Maine or de-
stroyipg the wreck unless congress
legislates specially. So far as the
United States is concerned it is quite
unnecessary to raise the wreck to as
certain the cause of the explosion.
