GERMAN IMPORTS
ARE NOW BARRED
Ruling of the Supreme Court on Cot
ton Velvets Blow to Euro
pean Manufacturers.

LONDON, Jan. 15-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says: The
Cologne Gazette, commenting upon the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court REGARDING cotton velvet, says the
rule will, of course, be applied to all
German manufactures so that it will
be useless in the future for a German
manufacturer to produce his goods in
bond with view of saving the duty
on raw material. The article con-
cludes:
ITO put it briefly, imports to America
are forbidden and the export trade is
destroyed, at least for countries which.
like Germany and France, must pay
considerable duties upon the raw ma
terial they import
For country which, like England.
does not impose a duty on raw ma
terial the decision, in the opinion of the
Cologne Gazette. cannot be regarded as
bad news, inasmuch, for once, extreme
protection would seem to have done
free trade a good turn in the course
of the internecine war of protectionist
countries

Egvntian Moralities.

Here are some extracts from the advice
that Ami, an Egyptian scribe, gave his
son in the thirteenth century before
Christ:
IF man cometh to thee for counsel let
this drive thee to books for information -
Consider what hath been; set before
thee a correct rule of life as an example
to follow. The messenger of death will
come to thee as to all others to carry
thee away; yea, he standeth ready"
Take heed with all diligence that thou
woundest no man with thy words"
THE man who, having received much,
giveth little, is as one who committeth
an injury
"Whosoever speaketh evil receiveth no
good"
when thou hast arrived at years Of
maturity and art married and hast a
house, forget never the pains which thou
hast cost thy mother, nor. the care which
she hath bestowed upon thee. Never give
her cause to complain of thee, lest She
lift up her hands to God in heaven and
He listen to her complaint

number of cases will go over to the

General Robert A. Friedrich of San

Union League Club and we'll known in
California, now attorney of the United
States for Alaska, has tried and dis
posed of nearly 200 cases of all kinds
on the criminal docket. He mas Sc
cured convictions in all but two or
three instances, and the record of the

called up on Tuesday. An election case
has the highest privilege, and if the
notice is carried out the personnel bill
will go over.
Wednesday has been set aside for the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, and an agreement to that
effect has been made. The most i'm
portant bill this committee has on hand
is that providing for a Pacific cable
running to Hawaii and to Japan. By
Thursday the postoffice appropriation
will be reported ready to take up in the
House and perhaps the military acad-

The main interest attaches to the
time when the important bill for the
Increase of the regular army can be
taken up.
