presence of the body to-day prior to the
touching ceremony of placing the remains

marched N and took up position behind
the premier. NM Berge, lie Gall and Blon-
del were also present With tears i'm his
eyes NJ. Berge cut a few locks of hair from
NJ. Faure's head and kissed his left hand
an example which was followed by M. LIE
Gall and NJ Blondel. -Four mutes then

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 19.-Advices re-
ceived from Dawson say that Lieutenant
Castner, of the Fourth United States Infan-
try, who started almost year ago from
the southern coast of Alaska to explore the
interior and find, if possible, an all-American
trail to the Yukon, has arrived there Find
ing the trail they had believed to exist inn
possible, Lieutenant Castner and two COM
panions started to reach civilization. They
put their provisions, guns. etc, on a raft
and set 1t aiioat on the Tanana river. The
raft was wrecked the second day and all
the provisions. rifles. axes, etc, lost. All
that was saved was d coil of rope. With the
rope another raft was built, and for six days
the three men floated down the river, living
on berries and roseapples. They were with
out shoes or moccasins, their feet being COW

where the party rested until boat could

river below Circle City, but lack of pro-
visions prevented him from taking the time
to map it out.

Count POsadOwsI<y-Wehn State
ments Refuted by II. 2. Porter.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-In an interview with
the correspondent of the Associated Press
last evening Robert Z. Porter, who goes
to Berlin tomorrow, explained at some
length the object of his mission, prefacing
his remarks with the statement that since
the war with Spain many continental coun-
tries had shown disposition to make un-
friendly discrimination against American
products Referring to the recent statement
in the Reichstag by Count Won Posadowsky-
Wehner, German imperial secretary of state
for the interior, on the subject of the trade
development of the United States with Ger
many, he said that a close study of the
question did not warrant the conclusions
drawn by Count Posadowsky- Wehner. On
the contrary, it showed most satisfactory
and profitable trade conditions so far as
Germany was concerned.

ports into the United States reached high
water mark, 912O00,C00 or el5,O00000 higher
than any other year during the decade then
ending. The decline for 1898 was almost
wholly due to the decreased sugar importa-
ton. The healthy feature of American i'm

fact that Of the $150,OO0OU0 in 1898 over half

employment to German labor. Large i'm
ports of raw material. especially when

are a source of wealth rather than loss to
country like Germany.
There can be no commercial difficulty be-
tween the United States and Germany, be-
cause, apart from Great Britain, America
is knit more closely to Germany by bonds
of kinship or mutual interests than to any
other power. Individual interests may clash
but fair analysis of the balance sheets Of
the two nations shows a healthful condition
of trade, which is a subject for rejoicing,
rather than alarm. on both sides"
With reference to his visit to the West
Indies. Mr.. Porter said that many of his
suggestions regarding Cuba and Porto Rico
were based in measure on what he had
observed in Jamaica In concluding the in
tervew he highly praised the success Of
the secretary Of state for the colonies. Jo-
seph Chamberlain. in dealing with Great
Britain's West Indian administration.
