STATUE OF WEBSTER
Handsome Work of Art Added to the
Treasures Of Washington.
Donation Made by Mr.. StiIsOn Hutch.
fns-The Statue Temporarily
Unveiled Today.

The statue Of Webster presented to the
city by Mr.. Stilson HutcttRs, and set up
on the public reservation between street
and Massachusetts avenue, just west of
Scott Circle, was temp orarily unveiled to-
day by Mr.. Trentanove the artist. The IN
formal unwilling took place at IL o'clock,
and was witnessed by n small company
who had been invited by Mr.. Trentarove to
be present.
The statue is heroic IN size measuring
twelve feet in height. and stands on u
pedestal of granite eighteen feet high The
statue is in the familiar pose of Webster,
who is represented addressing an audi
ence He is attired in the swallow-tail coat
which he always wore when in the Senate,
MS rl2nt hand holding a book. which rests
on classic stand al his side; his left ha nd
holding his cloak, which is swung loosely
over his shoulders.
The face shows those strong lines Of
character SO well depicted in all portraits
of the great statesman.
On the west and east sides of the pedes-
tai are bas-reliefs, which. respectively. rep
resent Webster delivering addresses in the
Senate on the occasion of his reply to
Hayne, and at Bunker Hill on the occa-
sion of the dedication of the monument
there. These are realistic scenes, but the
great number of objects crowded in the
small space gives rather an unpleasant ef-
feet. The statue faces the east and shortly
foot paths will be constructed through the
reservation giving visitors to it an oppor-
tunity TO approach within a short distance
of the pedestal.
The statue and bas-reliefs are the work
of Mr.. Trentanove, the casting of the
bronze figures having been done in Flor
ence. The statue represents Webster at
about fifty years of age, when he was at
the height of his fame 1t is a splendid
addition to the art treasures of the Capt.
toll, and will be formally dedicated some
time after the assembling Of Congress.

GERMANS FOREIGN INTERESTS.
People and Capital Operating in
Every Part of the World.

Hitherto few have had anything like
definite idea of Germany's interests
abroad says Consul Monaghan, writing
from Chemnitz under date Of April "a to
the State Department. German economists
are not eXaggerating when they say this
empires people and capital are operating In
every part. of the world. Not only Ham
burg, Bremen, Stettin, Lubbock and klei-
that is, the seaport cites-but towns far in
land, have invested millions in foreign en-
terprises. In the americas. North and
South in Australia, in Asia, in a large part
of Africa German settlements, German fac
tories, German merchants and German in
dustrial leaders are at work.
Nor is it always in settlements under
the empires control that this influence is
strongest. In Senegambia, on the gold
coast, the slave coast. in Zanzibar and Mo-
zambique in Australia, Samoa the Mar
shall Islands, Tahiti, Sumatfa and South
and Central America there are powerful
commercial organizations aiding the Ger
man empire. from Viadlvostock to Singa-
pore, on the mainland of Asa, and in many
of the worlds most productive Islands, the
influence of German money and thrift is
felt. In Central America and the West In
dies millions of German money are in the
plantations: SO, too, IN the Plantations
along the gold coast. In Guatemala, Hon.
duras, Mexico, the Dominican repnblic, Gu
ba, Porto Rico, Trinidad, Nenezueaa, brazil
etc, German capital plays very 1Inport-
ant part in helping to develop the asricul-
tural and in some cases the manufacturing
and commercial interests. A consequence
of this development Is seen in the numer-
Gus banking institutions whose fields Of
operation show that German commerce is
working more and more in foreign parts
These banks look after and aid foreign in
vestment as well as the empires other
commercial relations. They help the mill
lions of Germans in all parts of the world
to carry on trade relations, not only with
the fatherland, but with other countries.
The empires capital in United States
railroads is put down at $1So,0o0o00. In
America Germans have undertaken manu-
featuring. They have used German money
TO put up breweries, hat factories, spinning
weaving and paper mills, tanner.es, soap
boiling establishments, candle mills, dye
houses mineral-water works, iron foun-
dries, machine shops, dynamite mills, etc
Many of these mills use German machinery
and not a few German help. The Chilean
saitpeter mines, the Chilean and Peruvian
metal mines, many of the mines of South
Africa, etc, are in large part controlled by
German money and German forces Two
hundred different kinds of foreign bonds or
papers are on the Berlin, Hamburg and
Frankfort exchanges. "lsF0 IL
