UNITED STATES COMMERCE.
ENGLAND LOOKS THIS WAY
The British Are Slow TO Grasp Changes
Great Advancement OF the u. :. in "a
Commercial Way--They UnIOaded their
stocks to soon-New Rebuying.

London, Jan 30~-The attitude of Brit
ish investors toward American business
underwent notable change during the
past week. The mind of the British pub
lie is always slow to grasp changes, and
people here are only just beginning to
realize what finanqiers and politicians have
for months considered the most important
fact of the year--the tremendous COM
mercial advancement of the United States.
Ever since the Venezuelan affair the only
idea of the British holders of American
securities has been to sell whenever they
could do so with any profit or without
too great loss. la the beginning of the
present upward rush of American stocks
both spectators and conservative holders
of trans Atlantic securities were eager to
take advantage of the opportunity to un-
load, the former selliDg Tor profit, in view
of the crash in the market. which was
deemed inevitable; the latter, TO get rid
OF what they regarded as unsafe property
which they had been long holding.
Both British and American tinanciers
who have talked with a representative of
the Associated Press on the subject agree
that the pendulum has now begun to
swing in the other direction. Investors,
seeing that the anticipated disasters do
not materialize and that the United States
as apparently in for a period of great
prosperity, are coming TO the conclusion
that they were over hasty in unloading
their American holdings. They are re-
tracing their steps and are giving orders
TO their brokers to rebuy the stocks they
discarded with feeling of joy at getting
rid of deadwood, though the newspapers
are still croaking dismally over the panic
which Wall street is destined to witness
in the near future, according to all their
prophecies.

GERMANY VS.. UN|TEDSTATES
THEY WILL NOT INTERFERE.
The German ambassador Interviewed
He Protests Against the Remarks To-
Germany They Were not Prepared
for Dewey's Victory.

New York, Feb "A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Dr. Theodore Won Holleben, German
ambassador, has given an authorized in
terview which may be regarded as an
official statement of the attitude of Ger
many. Speaking OF immediate questions
the ambassador said
Without discussing the question If ex-
pansion, which has become vital one, [
can say that Germany, at least, is not
interfering in what is strictly the affair
OF the United States. The United States
does not object to our occupation Of China
, We have not in the Philippines any more
vital interest than America has in China.
Since the United States, although urged
to do so, did not protest against our en-
trance into her commercial domain in the
celestial empire, we can not do a more
courteous act than to follow her example
and abstain from any criticism Of her acts
| in Asiatic waters
The ambassador emphatically protests
against continued limitations of unfriend-
illness upon the part OF Germany and says:
When you talk OF the Philippines and
the presence of large German fleet in
those waters you must remember that
Germany had more valuable and more
numerous interests to protect than any
other power, England not excepted. In ad-
dition to our own interests we had those
of Austria, Switzerland and Portugal.
ut must be remembered, too, that we
were not prepared for the sudden victory
of Dewey and the changes on the political
horizon. We We're acting on the suppo-
sition that such II nation as Spain would
hold her own against the insurgents and
would be prepared to cope with a state Of
anarchy. With the appearance of the
United States as the sovereign power our
fears vanished"
