TOLD TO STUDY AMERICANS.
GERMlNY ADVISED TO FOLLOW OUR
AGRICULTURAL POLICY.

Carl Simon, the Roumaninn Consul-Gen-
eral in Germany, Issues n Book on Our
| Agricultural Succsss--His Advice as to
the Best Way to Keep Dat Our Products.
WARRINGTON. Aug. 26.-The State Depart
| ment has received from Vice. Consul Gene rnl
| Hanauer, OF Frankfort, some comments on a
book recently written by the Roumanian Con-
| sui General in Germany. Carl Simon. Mr..
Simon is said to rank high as an economist.
and his book has made a deep impression. 1t
is entitled The Export OF Products OF Agricul-
ture and Agricultural Industries From the
United States OF America" The author Is
quoted as saying:
1T would be OF great economic advantage to
Germany IL our agricultural class could in
crease its cultivation OF grain and other prod
ucts. such as fruit, eat. etc. In order that we
might become independent OF other nations
and save tho millions that now go abroad. Ag-
ricultural products from the United Statos
compete severely with those OF native growth.
The com petition OF the United States does not,
like that Of other grain-sxporting countries.
confine itself to cereals alone. but ia dam
gerous rival in all fields as the country exports
all kinds OF agricultural machines, etc.
The competition Of other countries Is.
further. not as hurtful as that OF tho great re-
public. because their methods OF production
and commercial handling OF the products are
primitive and our agriculturalists can more
easily compete with them. The methods OF
the Americans. on the other hand. are perfect"
The author says that as the American agri-
cultural classes are able to sell their produce
in Germany at cheaper rates than are ask cd
for tho domestic article. the tariff on imports
must be made high enough to protect German
producers. The rate, he says. can be ascer-
tanned only by thoroughly studying the re-
iona ivtiD in ha fvv0 n1n
tries. Mr. Simon continues:
1T would be national disaster IL Ger
manys agricultural conditions were to con-
form to those now existing in England. Amer
leans have practised tho doctrines OF the
great French statesman Colbert, which
made France rich and caused her agri-
culture. industry and commerce to at
tain an unexampled stage Of prosperity.
This system suits the United States. but der
many does not occupy like position. as she
cannot raise sufficient food products for her
population. This condition might be amelio-
rated by u thorough reform OF the agricultural
system.
"Germany's import OF food articles for the
year 1897 amounted to over $250.O00.00o.
This figure is alarming and should induce her
statesmen to adopt every measure calculated
to foster home production 30 as to change the
adverse trade balances which for the past
years have existed in German commerce with
foreign nations. In this respect the Americans
ought to be looked upon as teachers OF national
economy"

Navy Yard to BE Freed from Sewage
Nuisance.

Civil Engineer p. c. Asserson OF the Navy
Yard in Brooklyn. has prepared plans for de-
stroying the eddy at the entrance to the yard
which carries sewage and other filth into the
Wallabout Channel. He proposes to build a
pier OF concrete and masonry 200 feet out into
the river from the extreme end OF the cob
dock. This pier is intended to defect the cur
rents along that side of the river so as to de-
stroy the eddy. II is believed that the pier " i'll
even have the effect OF clearing out any matter
that may be carried there by the high tides.

APPROACHING A CLIMAX
Rumors in Circulation

NATIVES LEAVE THE CITY
A Peaceful Solution Is Yet Possible
Another Manifesto From Aguinaldo
VIII Drive the Americans
From the City.

Manila, Jan. 9.-The situations is rap
idly approaching climax and it is lust
possible that tomorrow will see
peaceful solution. Meanwhile, all sorts
of alarming rumors are in circulation.
The United States authorities are TAX
ing, every precaution. The troops in
quarters are under arms and the Cali
fornians have disembarked from the
transports. The natives, it is reported,
have been ordered not to work for the
Americans, and the employees in the
commissary department have gone on
a strike. The natives are leaving the
city. Major General Otis, however, has
the whole situation thoroughly in
hand.
A second proclamation by Aguinaldo
bearing the same date as the one which
Immediately followed the proclamation
OF General Otis, based on President
Mck1nley's instructions, first appeared
on the streets to-day, but it is alleged
10 nave been recalled. It's terms are
much more vehement than those used
in the first proclamation. Aguinaldo
threatens to drive the Americans from
the islands, calls the deity to witness
that their blood will be on their own
heads if it is shed, and details at
greater length the promises he claims
were made by the Americans as to the
part of the insurgents in the cam
paign.

SULLIVAN KNOCKED OUT.
The Fight With Gardiner Was Disastrous
to Him.

New York, Jan. 9.-The fight between
Oscar Gardiner, the Omaha kid, and
Dave Sullivan of Ireland ended disas-
trously for the latter in the 18th round
tonight. Sullivan seemed full of fight
when the 18th round opened and went
right to his man. In a clinch the legs
of both boxers became entangled and
Sullivan fell to the floor The moment
he got up, Gardiner planted two fearful
right swings on Dawes head, and put
the Irishman down and out with a wild
left hand swing which landed flush on
Sullivap's mouth. All three of the
blows were delivered within ten sec
onds, and the last one sent Sullivan in
to the land of Nod for the first time in
his ring career. Gardeners legs were
in anything but good shape, but de-
spite Sullivan's efforts to make him
use them the Omaha kid refused to be
coaxed into sprnting and saved him
self for the supreme effort when the
time arrived.
Gardiner waited frequently for Sui
Ivan to go to him and would either lead
or get inside of Sullivan's leads and
counter hard. These tactics puzzled
Sullivan and at times ratified him so he
showed unmistakable signs of having
lost his temper. Sullivan was beaten
fairly and squarly and there was no
excuse when the bout was over. If the
attendance tonight can be taken as
an indication of that which will visit
the big arena to witness the Mccoy
Sharkey bout tomorrow night then a
crowded house will surely see the con-
test for the heavyweight honors From
the moment that the doors of the club
house were thrown open tonight
steady stream of patrons passed
through the turn stiles and by the time
the preliminary bout was put on there
We're over 5000 people in the house
The men were billed for 20-round bout
at catch weights. Gardiner said he
weighed 1909, and Sullivan's seconds
said Dave was five pounds heavier.
After the men had donned the gloves
the betting took a turn in Gardeners
favor, $1,000 being laid on him at 100
to so.
