in three months an English factory was

In 1856, when the new process was just

bureau. The latter has collated official
figures dealing with both fiscal calendars
for the year 1898, and they both show an
enormous discrepancy compared with the
figures Of Count Won Posadowsky-Weh
ner. The latter set forth that the excess
of imports Of American goods compared
with the exports to the United States in
1858 were sos, 800, marks, the imports be-
ing S52, 100000 marks, and the exports 344,
100000 marks.
According to the United States treas
ury the American exports to Germany
during the last fiscal year were about
624, 900, 900 marks, while for the calendar
year they were 172,0o0,0o0 marks below
Count Won Posadowsky- Wehner's figures.
This enormous and unexplained discrep
ancy is greatly hampering the negotia-
tons for commercial treaty, and al
most bars Mr.. Porters way for the pres
ent.
Germany claims that the balance of
trade has lately been going, under the
Dingley law, too much the American way
to make a treaty under the existing con-
ditions profitable to Germany. In proof
Of this the German officials adduce the
alleged enormous American surplus of
1898. According to the American figures
the excess of American exports to Ger
many during the ten years, between 1889
and 1888, is only s115. 100000, or less than
the excess which Germany claims for
1895 alone.
COMPARISON OF EXPORTS.
During 1SS9-90-91 and 1893 Germany ex-
ported an excess to the United States,
while the annual average of Americas
excess of exports to Germany for ten
years is only a little over 81 600, 900, a
trif1e in so enormous a trade, Of which,
moreover, 2240, 600 marks were raw
material, "copper" tobacco and petroleum
and cotton from the United States and
produced in Germany, whereof the lat
ter enriches the value of manufacturing,
insuring that trade with the United
States a great source of profit to Ger
many instead of a loss.
An American exporter has furnished
what seems to be a good explanation of
the above discrepancy. Count Won Poso-
dowsky- Wehner's figures include among
the imports from the United States all
goods passing through Germany in tran
sit, which form a very large amount but
just how large cannot be stated precise
ly. The expert does not take into ac-
count the fact that nearly the whole car
rying of exports from the United States
to Germany is done in German vessels
the profits Of which are also large

MONEY FOR SAILORS.

credit during the late war and received

In the shape Of extra pay which congress
allotted to them in the closing hours of
the last session. Very many applications
have been pouring in upon the navigation
bureau for information as to how the
men should proceed to collect their
money. In reply to these the following
circular letter is being sent out:
Washington, D. C.-Sir: Replying to
your letter requesting information con-
corning the extra pay allowed men and
officers of the volunteer navy by the last
congress foH services rendered during the
war with Spain, L have to inform YOU
that your application should be addressed
TO the auditor for the navy department
treasury department, Washington D. G.
Very respectfully,
IA. 8. Crowninshield,
Chief Bureau
These volunteer sailors are under act
Of congress, entitled to one months ex-
ira pay in case they served within the
United States and two months If they
served outside the United States. IT
would be for the auditor to draw this line
of inside and outside, but it Is said at
the navigation bureau that vessels which
served In the Cuban and Porto Rican
blockade and vessels which went to for
eisn ports will be regarded as having been
outside the United States, while those
which piled up and down the coast will
be held to have been within the United
States although of course, outside the
three mile limit
The men should first address their in
quiries to the auditor above, who will
furnish the information as to the fur
ther procedure. This Is likely to involve
later on the sending to Washington of
the discharge of the man and statement
of the service rendered by him The au-
ditor will adjust all the claims and only
In case of doubt as to the actual service
rendered will the navy department be
consulted.

After Portugal places her colonies on the
market, which will probably occur before

ern half Of Portuguese East Africa, eX
tending south as far as the Zambesi
river. This territory will be added to
German East Africa. England will Sc
cure all south of the Zambesi river, which
will be added to the contiguous territories
