UNCLE SAM is causing good deal
of stir in diplomatic circles. His object
is ID do with away ''politicol spheres"
in China. That is, that France, nor
Germany, nor England, nor Russia
shall shut out other natione from terri
tory in China, over which they have
us Irped authority, but the whole Of
China shall be open to the trade of the
world. This is a direct challenge of
the right of Russia, or Germany, or
France to gobble up China and appro-
pirate its trade. England and Japan
Joined the United States in the move
ment, and Germany was willing, but
Russia and France objected. But an
intimation that they would not be look
ed upon as friendly, and that the other
powers would look after their interests,
has caused Russia and France to yield
and it is said Uncle Sam will get all he
started out for.

IT having been reported that the
Boer Government would not permit our
Consul at Pretoria to look after the in
terests of British subjects in the Tans-
vaal, as requested by the British, and
as is usual in wars, and according to in
ternational law, President Mckinley
has sharply demanded an explanation
of the Beers. Unless they behave them
selves, Uncle Sam may have to send
some of his soldiers, that are enroute to
Manila, to Durham or Cape Colony. We
judge, however, that the lBoers will
behave themselves and make no trouble.
They have troubles enough now, with
the British lion switching its tail
through Dom Paul's whiskers.

caught in his net was wonderful, and

contributed her share. Urbana chip
ped in TO the amount of $4,000, and
Woodstock, North Lewisburg and 9TH

The fellow promised to pay the inter-
est monthly, and paid enough to make

disappeared with hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars.

INSTRUCTIVE TRADE FIGURES
the German Bureau of Statistics on Foreign Trade of Empire.

According to a statement published by the German bureau of statistics, the foreign trade in the empire in 1898 amounted to $1,295, ,554,S60 in imports and s954, 4,499 ,o0O in exports. These fig ures do not include precious metals, of which Germany imported Ss5,442 900 and exported S6O, ,152 ,OO0. Of late a new phase in Germany's economic life has become apparent which af- fects the labor market. Some branches of trade can work only with half power, because they lack the raw materials.
 This refers especially to rolling mills, which suffer from dearth of pig iron, and industries using steel, coal and coke, though fully at work, are not making much profit on their output, as the advance in the cost of the raw ma terials is not compensated by the prices obtainable for the finished products. Most of the iron and some machinery works have contracts that will keep them busy until the middle of next year. These are now working over time and refuse to take any more con- tracts at fixed time and price.
 The great boom in iron and coal is principally due to the large contracts given by the government for its rail- road stations and rolling stock, and by municipal and private corporations for narrow gauge railroads and electric tramways; also to the many machine works that have sprung up during the last two years.
