GERMAN TRADE.
Great Prosperity Throughout the
Empire.

Washington, Aug. 27.-An important
report on the industrial development
in Germany has been made to the
state department by United States
Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz. He
says:
"Germany's industrial development
in 1898 compared favorably with that
of any year in the last thirty years.
If some falling off is to be recorded
in a few textile lines, great gains are
noticeable in other directions, notably
in machinery. The value of the i'm
ports rose from s1,159, 900, 900 in 1897
to 81, 296, 900 in 1898; that of the
exports from 1901, 547, 900 to 1862, $780,
GEO.
THE real significance of these fig
ures is found in the fact that large
part of the imports consists of raw
materials, which are made into all
kinds of manufactured articles for eX-
port as we'll as for home consumption.
The imports of raw materials for tex
tiles went up, while the imports of
coal and iron fell off. Both facts fur
nish proof that home industries have
been very active, and that the Ger
man coal and iron mines can supply
almost all that is needed in these two
lines. Of the $50, PIP, 900 increase in
exports, drugs, iron, instruments and
machines, silk and silk goods, stone,

THE AFRICAN WAR.

During the latter part Of last week
the Beers were still pounding Lady
smith They had mounted new and
big gun on neighboring hill and were
shelling the English camp. Some Of
the English guns had been hit and ruin
ed, and the garrison was expecting an
assault. In London news Of battles at
both Ladysmith and Kimberly was anx-
iously awaited, and there were reports
of more fighting near the Modder river.
The Beers claimed to have Methuen cut
off from his base of supplies, and also
that the British had murdered helpless
men after the battle of Modder river
On Sunday the British war Office re-
ceived word from Gen. Gatacre, com
manding the British in Cape Colony,
near the southern border OF the Orange
Free State, Of his unsuccessful attempt
to capture Storrnberg, and his loss of
900 men. He seems to have been de-
ceived by false reports into marching
into n trap where he was fanked and
driven from one position after another
until he beat hasty retreat to mis- camp
at Molteno.

the Transyaal ultimatum was delivered
nine engagements have been fought and
the British have lost 566 killed. 2,027
wounded and /, 977 missing or prisoners.
In Berlin there was rejoicing over the
news.
On Sunday night the British made a
sortie from Ladysmith and captured
one howitzer on the top OF a neighbor-
ing hill but on the way back were at
tackled by the Beers and lost G2 men. Bat
ties were expected at both the Tugela
and Modder rivers
On Monday Gen. Methuen attacked
the Beers in fortified position about
four miles north OF the Modder river,
and was again repulsed, with reported
loss Of J00men.
