BRIDGEPORT 10 RR1sTo1, n

Bridgeport, July 11.--Bridgeport shut
out Bristol this afternoon in game that
was much more interesting than the
score. would indicate. The game from
start to finish was of the snappy order,
with many brilliant catches and fine
base running. Garoni, who did the
twirling for the home team, excelled at
all times. He pitched remarkably fine
game and nabbed a number of hot lin
ers. Hartman, who has been farmed
out to Bridgeport by the New York
team, gave fine exhibition of base run

BASEBALL GAMES YESTERDAY
Marked by Errors and Loose Play
ing-Vollendorf Pitched for Home
TeRm-Other Games

New Haven retrieved her defeat of
Saturday at the hands of Norwich by
defeating her yesterday afternoon by the
score Of 10 to 6. The game was fairly
well attended, about 400 people being
present.
Norwich played in much better form
under the new management and made
better showing than formerly. The
playing on both sides, though, was hor-
ribly loose and the game was character
lied by errors. OF these Norwich sue
ceeded in making twelve to New Ha-
vens three.
Vollendorf pitched for the home team
and allowed eleven hits to be made off
him. He struck cut nine men. Gildea
occupied the box for the visitors and
was touched up for twelve hits. New
Haven scored most of her runs in the
fourth inning.

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS IN GERMANY
interesting Report of United State.
Consul Anderson

IN view OF the many propositions under
consideration for the Improvement of the
street railway systems in the District of
Columbia, including the extension of exist
ing lines into the suburbs. a report made
to the State Department by Consul Ander-
son, at Hanover, in regard to electric rail-
ways IN Germany, will be found of more
than ordinary local interest just at this
time He says that the entire length of
electric lines in operation in Germany on
September l. 1898, was sss miles and the
total trackage was los miles The num-
Der OF motor cars was $3.50. and the num-
Der of trailers . 12S The length of the new
hnes IN course of construction or about to
be begun at that date was Ga miles and
their total trackage. $50 miles
Most of the large Industrial cities in
Westphalia and the Rhine province are
connected by network of electric roads
whlch serve not only for passengers but
for freight traffic
The electric street railway of Hanover
was bullt under the supervision and direc-
ton OF an American from Philadelphia. and
was opened for business on May l. 1882 1t
was one of the first electric lines ina1Ie1,-
rated IN Germany, and, says the consul, is
low one OF the best systems in existence

THE COPRA INDUSTRY.
May BE Transferred to the United
States From MarSeiIIes

Consul Skinner at Marselles invites at
tention to the fact that the occupation of
the Philippines by the United States may
lead to the transfer to the United States
of an industry now almost exclusively con-
fined to the city of Marseilles He refers
to the copra industry, and states the sit
uation as follows:
The crushing of oleaginous seeds and
cocoanuts, for the extraction of the oil
they contain. has for many years given
employment to hundreds of Workmen and
the skillful use of blended oils In the manu-
facture OF soap gave to this city its world
wide reputation for the latter. In more
recent times, the American cotton seed oil
has to large extent replaced the copra
+, or cocoanut oil, at the same time severely
Gripping the seed-crushing business. A soap
manufacturer advises me that the cotton
| oil cannot, however entirely supplant the
| cocoanut oil, the former, if used alone
produces soap too soft to be acceptable to
! commerce; and the latter, if unmixed with
] cotton or peanut oil, makes soap as
much too hard. / am informed that mix
! ture of about half and half produces the
| best results, and that the failure of Mar
| settles manufacturers to maintain these
| proportions has been followed by distinct
| falling off in the quality of some famous
| brands of Marselles soaps.
The copra or cocoanuts crushed in Mar
settles come almost exclusively from the
! Philippine Islands. In the year 1897 the
!
! tails, in addition to which 1910 metric
| quintals were imported from the French
colonies. The highest price paid at Mar
| settles during 1897 was $694 and the lowest
| 1881. The nuts fall from the trees and lie
| on the ground until the hard shell sepa-
| rates from the kernel and decays. The
| kernel appears to lose none of its useful
| qualitieS, though permitted to remain on
! the ground for a year or more. When a
! favorable opportunity occurs the copra is
gathered, dumped into some small coasting
| boat and eventually reaches Marseilles.
| At the present time the price is uncertain
| and almost double the average figure, be-
Cause of a complete suspension of arrivals
| from Manila. On January II the total
| stock of copra in the docks and ware
| houses was only l $50 quintals and the fear
now prevails that the troubles among the
| natives will prevent the shipment of any
considerable quantity for some time to
| come.
| THE assurance that means of communi-
| cation between the Philippines and the
| United States will soon be established will
| make 1t appear easy for American capital
! to build and operate crushing mills; and
| with cotton oil in unlimited quantities to
draw upon, the manufacturers of soap will
be in possession of additional resources for
| carrying on their business"

As 10 Taxing Bicycles.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The proposition to tax bicycles is, as I I'M

each on all wheels used in the city. The
value Of the average wheel in use in Wash

AN uNTRiED MARKET.
Great Field for Manufacturers in Cen
trail South America.

The State Department has received an
interesting report from Consul Monaghan
at Chemnitz, pointing out the great field
which exists for American manufacturers
in the hitherto untried markets of central
South America.
Among these he speaks specially of
Iquitos capital of the province Loveto, in
Peru. This city is near the headwaters of
the Amazon, and is a distributing point for
the immense regions watered by the Ucoy-
ali, Napo, Yabary, Rio Tigre, Jacua and
other streams. IGuitos is inhabited by an
energetic and enterprising population as
one will find in any of the lands south of
the equator. 1t is easily approached by
water and has all of the conditions neces-
sary to make it a great trade center. Not
withstanding the fact that it is close in a
direct line to some of the new manufac-
tories established on the Pacific coast of
South America, the immense chain of the
Andes presents an almost insurmount Bile
trade barrier in this direction, as all the
goods have to be transported on muleback
from England and Germany are almost a
dollar a cubic foot, but these countries
supply almost the whole of the import
market Consul Monaghan saws that the
field is almost unlimited for anything thai
could be conceived TO, add to the comfort
of life in the tropics.
Light worsted and cotton goods, prints.
cotton hose, silk handkerchiefs and imi-
tations, hammocks, preferably with the
arms of Brazil and Peru woven in their
meshes pajamas,i cheap laces, shawls rib
bons sunshades and other articles of cloth
ing find ready market. The consul ad-
vises sending catalogues in Spanish and
Portuguese as well as@in English, with the
prices in Spanish and Portuguese currency.
AT present goods go in every six weeks
via the Booth Iquitos Line, whose boats
leave Hamburg, London, Havre and Lisbon
Prices should be quoted free on board" at
these points Samples of goods with a
guarantee that orders shall be up to sam
pie is considered the best way of working
up a market in this great and untried field.

Capt. ShufeIdt's Appeal.

Capt Robert w. Shufeldt, a retired army
surgeon, it is said, has appealed to the
President for modification of the action
of the War Department. by which he is con-
fined to the limits of the military depart
ment OF the east pending the settlement of
the civil suit against him now before the
Maryland courts. The officer contemplated
a tf1p 10 the East Indies with a party of
scientists, and says that the action of the
war Department practically amounts to
MS arrest without trial by court-martial.
