Washington, Dec. 80. Among
members of the administration and
of the Congress Committees on For
eign Relations in the city the report
from Berlin that England is likely to
secure concession of Delagoa Bay by
secret treaty is received with credence.
The particulars alleging an agreement
between Germany, Portugal and
Great Britain providing for the partl-
tion of the Portuguese colonies are
not considered so important. The
main fact is that England should seem
to he so close within reach OF her de-
sjres on the South African coast.
Despite denials from Paris and eva
Sions from Berlin, there is evidence
that the Lokal Angzeiger has struck

that British Foreign Office only says
that the alleged disclosures from
Berlin are quite inaccurate. They

ment of men familiar with foreign

The announcement that the American
capitalists have joined forces with the
British in their raid upon the Chinese
Empire is greeted with joy by the work
ing class in this country, whose wishes
would be more completely fulfilled if
the land of the "heathen Chinee" were
made a fountain to quench thirst of some
of our already gold intoxicated trusts.
What affect this development of Chinese
coal will have upon the market of this
country it is somewhat difficult to con-
lecture at this time however, small
matter like that will have little intiu-
ence on the actions of the syndicate.
The action of John Bull in giving otli-
cial instructions to his representative
in China to treat all American contracts
as though they were of British descent
is a mighty stride toward the mark at
which Great Britain has for a long time
been aiming, that of a union OF forces
for the ruling of the world. The first
step was II shrewd one, that of bringing
the first influence to bear in the ranks of
American capitalists, for their influence,
unfortunately, is the most poten, factor
in politics today.

Hard Wood Lumber GOinU I'm.

Minneapolis, July Is. - The Times
says: Hard wood lumber was advanced
during the past year at an exceedingly
rapid rate, and the price is now higher
than ever before in the history of the
trade in this city. The present status
of prices is due to the shortage in supply
Of northern grown hard wood and the
rapidly increasing demand. The Wiscon-
sin hard wood forests are gradually be-
ing exhausted, and as result the supply
for the local markets Is growing less and
less, and it is asserted on good authority
that the local trade will in few years
have to depend almost wholly upon the
southern forests for Il supply.
