Bloomingdale, H., April 10, 1899.
Gentemen-As the second annual
tour of the BANDA ROSA draws to
close, we desire to express the great
satisfaction we have enjoyed in the use
of the sterling piano, which has been a
constant friend and companion to US on
board our special train, for the past
three months.
| The piano in question has been sub
! ject to constant use and much rough
treatment, but has managed to hold its
sympathetic tone through everything
and to keep in tune in remarkable
manner.
We feel, therefore, that it is only
just to you to thus grant our endorse.

IMPORTANT GERMAN EVENTS,
Talk About the New German Navy

Berlin, Dec. 16.-The members Of the
Reichstag are now home for the Christ
mas holidays, but the four days Of budget
debate have left deep traces,
The main results were the open rupture
proclaimed between the conservative party
aud Prince Hohenlohe, In which 1t will be
interesting TO see which wins; secondly,

MIGUEL gave some hard knocks; thirdly,

general arraignment of the Emperor and
tho government, and fourthly, Count Pos
adow sl1i-Wehners remarks about German
relations with the United States and Great
Britain. Count Posadowski- -Wehner said
he regretted ''our commercial relations
with America are not wholly good, but 1
am convinced that right and justice In this
are on our side"
Then talking about the necessity for a
larger German navy, he said;

desire to nave a fleet large enough to cope
with any afioat is that while now the re-
lations with England and the United
States are satisfactory enough, they may
again become less so, and Germany has
no desire to be pushed aside commercially
and politically"
Another remarkable feature of his
speech was the part in which ne ridlculed
the Agrarian, Roesicke, who had upheld
the Boer states as political and economic
ideals for the German nation.
Herr Richter's three hours oration was
replete with witty sayings. as usual One
of the most effective was when he re-
ferred to the groundless rumors about
the Danish West Indies, he said

for the Caroline Islands! No matter that

other countries to ponder whether they

ENGLAND CAN GET SUPPLIES.
Government Can Do Nothing About
the Free states Protest.

New York, Dec. 16.-The shipment of
arms and ammunition from this city TO
South Africa, for use by British forces
against the Beers last Tuesday, caused
Consul Charles Pierce, of the Orange Free
State to file a protest with Secretary of
State Hay in Washington.
To-day Mr.. Pierce received a note from
Mr.. Hay, declaring that the department
of state could not take any action In the
premises.
According TO the authorities cited by the
Secretary of State in case of war, bellig-
erents have the right to purchase any kind
of goods in a neutral country, subject to
confscation after shipment. AS the Beers
have no navy and no port of entry, the
ruling is decidedly advantageous TO the
British.
Last Monday I received a letter from
DR.. Hendrick Muller, envoy extraordinary
of the Orange Free State at the Hague, f"
said Mr.. Pierce, calling my attention to
the shipment by a cartridge company of
Bridgeport, Conn, of 100000 cartridges
to South Africa. He also stated that this
company had received other large orders
from the British government. 1 at once
transmitted DR.. Mullers letter 10 Wash
ingtOn, and to-day received the reply.
Secretary Hay closes his letter thus:

ments of this government from the car

ness of the doctrine stated by Chancellor
Kent and that, in this position, they have

courts of the United States and by the
opinions of eminent authorities on inter-
national law. Under these circumstances
therefore. and in view of the fact that the
law on the subject in the United States is
