The increase of German and Ameri-
can exports and a corresponding de-
crease in British foreign trade is giving
the merchants and manufacturers Of
Great Britain no little anxiety. This
increase was accounted for in various
Ways-by tue scientific and technical
training Of the German schools and the
enormous advantage the United States
enjoys in manufacturing facilities, due
to improved machinery, progressive
methods, etc. These factors undoubt-
edly contributed to the result, but still
another reason was adduced by the
British merchant and manufacturer
the greater activity, intelligence and
wide -awakenesS of German and Amer
lean consuls and commercial travellers.
This also may have something to do
with the decrease in exports of Great
Britain FROM E309.0OO,0 900 in 1891 to
t294 100000 in 1897, while in the same
period those of Germany increased
from tl76,000,000 To 1897, 900, 900 and
those of the United States rose from

The difficulty has arisen from defects in
the text book law. In the first place the

some defect, and the state has not been
able to settle with the book companies.
Then the provisions for distribution of

Manila, Jan. 10, via Hong Kong, Jan.
2l.-The Americans and Filiplnos were
probably nearer conflict this afternoon
than at any time since the occupation.
Fortunately the matter was amicably set
tied. A Filipino lieutenant imagining
that his men had been insulted by some
American troops, marched a company OF
40 armed natives to the line OF the Amer
leans and the sentries. four in number,
back of the Montana regiment, in obedi-
ence to orders, were compelled to retire
to the outpost i'll order to avoid trouble,
As the Filipinos disobeyed the command
to halt. deployed in the canebrake and
assumed a determined, threatening attl-
tude. Lieutenant Jansen who was in com.
mand of the post, telegraphed to brigade
headquarters and General Otis personally
investigated the matter. The Filipino
.captain was summoned and he was also
found to be excited. AS a result of the
conference he admitted that the Filipino
lieutenant had exceeded his authority. His
men were drawn up in line, saluted, com-
tesies were exchanged and the Filipiuos
retired.
The incident is significant, as it shows
the tendency of the Filipinos to disregard
pickets, knowing that the Americans are
not willing to commence hostilities and
it also demonstrates the danger of ire
sponsible junior officers OF the Filipino
army precipitating trouble at any mo
mont.

A BAD INSECT PEST.
Worse Than the Tent Caterpillar e
Deal With.

Worse Than the Tent Caterpillar to
Deal With.
One of the worst pests that the APP
pie grower has to fight is the railroad
worm, called also the pulp worm, and
the apple maggot The fruit growers
of Vermont are unanimous in giving
this insect the first rank among their
insect enemies,
1t is worse than the tent caterpillar.
That can be entirely overcome by
spraying, whereas spraying has no
effect on the railroad worm.
The railroad worm, or apple mag
got, is the cause Of the PUPPY punky
condition of the apples as we find
them now in the stored fruit and in
that offered for sale. The eggs are
laid Just under the skin Of the apple
by small fly. This fly begins her
work in June and keeps it up pretty
much all summer, so that there may
be worms of all ages in the apples.
She has a strong preference for sweet
apples, and has practically ruined the
crop Of Talmans this year. Still she
works in all varieties. sour as well as
sweet, and causes hundreds of dollars
loss to the fruit grower.
We have consulted the authorities
at the Vermont experiment station,
and they frankly admit that no salts
factory way Of dealing with it has
been discovered. They say that con-
siderable good can be accomplished
BY keeping hogs or sheep in the
orchard to pick up the windfalls.
These windfalls are usually fun Of
apple maggots and the hogs digest
them out Of existence.
Experiments are being made at
various places in the United States,
and we hope eventually to know some
more effective way of dealing with
this pest. But for the present we
must rely on the practice Of destroy
