IMPORTING OUR WOODS.
German Demands Increase Despite
American Indifference.

Consul Large at Bremen reports to the
State Department that the importation of
American woods has steadily increased
the failure of American
exporters TO comply with the wishes of the
German importers. 1t is owing to this
cause. says the consul, that business in all
cOnsisnments from the United States of
walnut and oak blocks planks and balks
results in a loss. A great quantity of in
ferior walnut woods has reached Hamburg
which, in the judgment of experts, must be
sold at loss; whereas really good material
would bring remunerative prices. 1t ap-
pears that for the last year or so fashion
has dictated the use of mahogany for fur
niture making, and therefore less walnut
american as well as Caucasian is asked
for; but this is not the sole cause of the de-
crease. 1t is rather. as above stated, the
low quality of the larger portion of the i'm
ports.
Another fault of American exporters is
their unreliabllity in the execution of or
ders. For instance, in the autumn of last
year contracts were made for the delivery
In the spring of 1898. and these are now
only partially executed. while the quality
of the oak delivered is very inferior There

NO DISCIPLINE ON SHIPS
Bad State of Affairs on Board Spanish
Transports.
Men Desert in Groups and Officers Ex-
pect Mutiny Before They
Get Home.

KINGSTON, Jamaica. January 19.-lt is
announced that arrangements have been
made with the Royal Mail Company for
the coaling here of the homeward-bound
Spanish warships from Havana. During
the past week four have been coaled-the
Martin Alonzo Pinzon. the Nueva Espana,
the Herman Cortes and the Galicia. The
two former sailed yesterday and the others
leave today. Twelve more are expected
shortly.
During the time these vessels lay in port
and at the coaling dock the most noticeable
thing about them was the utter absence
of discipline. This eliminated in the case
of the Galicia yesterday, when four sea-
men packed up their chests and landed,
dressed in plain clothes.
Shortly after the water police were asked
to arrest the men as deserters. Subse-
quently a superior officer countermanded
the request, without giving any reason,
and a petty officer was heard to remark
that If half the crews deserted here IT
would be happy radiance, for many rea-
sons, one being that wages in the fleet
were hopelessly in arrears. He had no
idea how the navy was going to be kept up
now that Cuba was lost, and he would not
be surprised at general mutiny among
the fleet before ii got home.

PAUL SELBY NEAR DEATH.
prominent thicngo Journalist and
Close Friend of Lincoln

CHICAGO, January l9-Paul Selby. one
of the last surviving personal friends Of
Abraham Lincoln, is in danger of losing his
life through fire which destroyed the
apartment building in which he lived Mr..
Selby was sick in bed from a severe attack
of grip when the flames drove him out
doors.
During the later years of Lincolns life
just before he became President, the great
Ilinoisian had few friends to whom he gave
his confidence and trust in fuller degree
than to Mr.. Selby. Selby at that time was
editor of the Illinois State Journal al
Springfield, and for his great services in
helping to elect Lincoln to the presidency
one of the latter's first acts after being
inaugurated was to appoint SeIby post
master at Springfield. In recent years and
up to the first of the present year Mr. Selby
had been employed on the editorial STATS
of Chicago's leading newspapers He was
considered one of the best-informed news
paper writers in the country upon the no.
lftical history of the west during the de-
cades Immediately preceding and following
the civil war.

PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE EXTENSION.
Recommendation Of the Commits
siOners Quoted by Mr.. Mudd.

The report on the Pennsylvania avenue
extension bill, submitted to the House by
Mr.. NIuGd, quotes the recommendations of
the District Commissioners as follows:
PENNSYLVANIA avenue is now opened up
and available for travel from the east side
Of the AnaCostia river to Branch avenue.
From this point to the Bowen road the
District possesses title to the street but
the street has not yet been graded. 1t is
for the purpose of acquiring title to the
land necessary to open the avenue from
Bowen road to the District line that the
bill has been introduced.
''On previous bills of like nature the Com
miSiSoners have expressed themselves as
being unqua llfiedly in favor of opening I'D
at as early a date possible the main
avenues and thoroughfares of the District;
and in case like the present one, where only
a small area OF land is needed to complete
the extension to the District line, they
consider the case especially nferitorious
The amount of land which will be neces-
sary is only about five and a half acres
the price per acre for which is believed
to be not over $500, so that the amount of
money involved for the acquisition of the
territory is quite small. In addition to
the fact of being the last link in one of
the main avenues of the District the eX-
tension IS very much needed to allow di-
rect access to and from the center of the
city to the people living just beyond the
District line in Maryland, and by affording
them easier access it is believed that Ii viii
contribute greatly to the material benefit
of the business interests of the District
which is i'll addition to the advantages to
the public generally resulting from the
opening of such main thoroughfare."
