The uncertain quantity for the republic

publican leaders take conservative view
of the situation. They recognize that there
is disaffection among the Germans on the
subject of expansion. or rather on the sup
posed Anglo-American alliance, but they
say it has not yet become a detection.
They hope to meet this feeling by an ap-
peal to reason. The German vote in Iowa

cities, notably Dubuque and Davenport. 1t

noted that Germans in the towns are more
excited about expansion and alliances than
they are in the country. However. the APP

so openly demagogic that 1t is not likely
to convince the Teutonic judgment of its

GERMANY A BIG PURCHASER.
More Imported From the United States
Than From Any Other Country.


Figures received at the State Depart
ment from the German bureau of statistics,
through Vice Consul General Hannauer, at
Frankfort show that last year Germany
imported from the United States more
goods and products than from any other
country, the total being sos, 7s5, 500. In the
same time we bought from. Germany goods
to the value of only N$79, GIL 600. Great
Britain stood second among the nations
from which Germany purchased, and Rus
STA third but each of these nations pur-
chased much more from Germany than dld
the United States. The total German for
eign trade amounted to S1,295,5Ji S6o in
imports and s954. 400. 600 in exports.
The report speaking of Germany's eco
nomic condition, says that some branches
of trade are working only half power for
lack of raw material There has been a
great boom in iron and coal. principally
due to large government contracts for
railways, and wages have advanced con-
siderably 1t is predicted, however, that
as soon as these government contracts are
filed a reaction will set in, the demand for
labor will be lessened and the reduction of
wages will be in order
The report mentions the effect Of Amer
lean competition of the German chemical
of branch factories in America by many
large German establishments in order to
hold their business. The growing compe-
tition of American textiles is also the cause
Of loud wailings by German manufacturers.

MacyEAGH's OBJECTIONS.
Points Made Against the Verdict In
the Carter Case.

Mr.. WAYNE MacVeagh continued his ar
gument IN the case of Capt Carter before
the Attorney General yesterday afternoon
after The Stars report was closed. He con-
Guided with a summary of objections to
the approval of the verdict, as follows:
First. The tumble of homogeneous charges
in contempt of fundamental and essential
principle Of Jurisprudence, making a fair
tria h, impossible.
Seg&ad The incapacity of the court to
obtaf7 sany testimony except that volun-
Tile Such incapacity explains in part
whyYThe opinions of a mere majority or
officers ordered by the Secretary OF war
to try particular case have in law no
force or effect whatever.
Fourth. The contemptuous ioutlng OF the
Fifth The reading and rereading of
wholly irrelevant specifications and checks
for the sole purpose of preJudlcing the
minds of the officers of the court-martlai.
Sixth In admitting evidence of the rate
of charges paid by the contractors for cut
ting and laying brush as evidence that
Capt. Carter was guilty of conspiracy.
Seventh. In declaring that they We're not
strictly bound by the rules of evidence
Eighth In allowing Cooper to TESTIFY as
to the contents of written papers which
were easily accessible.
Ninth In admitting the letter of Cooper
to Gillette of August Z, 1897, as PROOF OF
Capt. Carriers guilt in 1886
Tenth In deciding that the statute or
limitations had no reference whatever to
the evidence.
Eleventh. In holding that declarations of
persons not on trial and made in Capt.
Carriers absence were admissible in evil
dence.
Twelfth. In admitting the letters from
Capt Greene to Capt. Smith of 1891.
Thirteenth. In allowing Cooper to certify
as to an alleged conversation with fore
man of contractors in 1893.
Fourteenth. In deciding that questions
asked by the court cannot be objected to
upon the rules of evidence.
Fifteenth. In admitting the private pa
pers of Capt. Carter, illegally seized, in evil
dence against him.
Sixteenth In refusing obedience to the
provisions of the Constitution.
Seventeenth. In refusing obedience to the
decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Eighteenth. In refusing obedience to the
plain and explicit act of Congress.
Nineteenth. In admitting the letters be-
tween Capt Carter and Capt. Greene and
Mr. Garner from 1885 to 1891, to prove a
conspiracy in 1896.
Twentieth. In allowing Carvalho to tes-
tify falsely that Capt. Greene was guilty of
criminal forgery as proving that Capt Car
ter was guilty of conspiracy.
Mr.. MacVeagh closed with very earnest
appeal for a judicial hearing of the case,
dwelling at length upon the majesty of the
law, and appealing to Attorney General
GrggS as a lawyer and jurist to accept his
view of the case and counsel the President
to prevent the affirmation of the verdict of
the court-martal.
