Importers Deny Any Competition Be-

the Respective Countries.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-The OFF,
clal statement Of facts respecting the
Argentine convention Is given out.
The Argentine tariff system involves
not only a fixed and high rate of du1
ties on imports but also provides for
an afOro. or valuation which Is TO be
fixed from tine 10 time by executive
authority.
The convention for example not only

The Argentine government demand
ed a reciprocal concession on wool
and other articles. The American wool
growers have expressed fears that this
would prove injurious to the domestic
interest. The total Import Of wool
into the United States Tot 1899 from
all countries was 76.S73.0 900 pounds. OF
this from Argentine came only I,s57,-
900 pounds. The proposed reduction
for Argentine wools alone can have
no effect on our market prices. A
majority Of the wool Is Of The eoarest
class (for carpets stcJ.

This was the case when the war

The queen regent issued dtc'ee

Spain did not announce what course

THE CASE OF MACRUM.
Our Former Consul at Pretoria Must
Explain His Actions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S,-The case
Of Consul Charles E. Maarum, United
States representative at Pretoria, who
insisted on being relieved at the time
Of the South African crisis became
most acute, Is assuming additional
Importance.
Tho understanding at the state de-
partment Is that lie is not coming by
the way Of English ports, but is on a
German ship which comes through
the Mediterranean and thence direct
to this country.
In the present aspect OF the case
there is little doubt that unless the
consul presents ample explanation for
his course he will not continue In the
consular service.

EVERYTHING tends to show that the
rations furnished the American troops
are as near perfection under all circum-
stances as it is passible to make them.
A board of experts in the Philippines,
after an exhaustive Investigation, rec
commended only trifing changes to
adapt the ration to that climate. A
similar board in Cuba has reported rec
ommending no change whatever. Eng
lish officers in the Philippines report to
their government that the United States
army is the best fed in the world. The
people at home would not permit any
thing else, ever if there were a DISPOSE,
ton to treat the men otherwise. 1t is
largely owing to this system of looking
after the wants of the American private
which makes him the best of his kind
in the world. He may not be the equal
of the European for show purposes. but
when it comes to business he shines
with the best Of them.-Bee.

THE horror Of the Texas flood Is not
exaggerated. Fully 900 persons have lost
their lives and those homeless and In
dire distress must number 100000. The
district inundated is 900 miles long by
100 miles wide. The property loss is put
conservatively between $I5,ooo,ooo ana
$40 900. 900. Gov. Sayers has aPPeaieo
to the federal government for aid, as he
does not think private relief and contri-
buttons, however generous, can begin to
alleviate the suffering.

NEBRASKA Republicans will hold their
state convention, this year, considerably
later than usual, but that does not mean
that less effective campaign work Will be
prosecuted. The convention date, this
year. is September 81. Last year, the
convention date was August 10, in 1897
it was nominated August 20, IN 1896 1t
was nominated July I, which was parllc-
ularly earlv ON account of the presiden-
tial election then under way. Active
campaign work has seldom peer inaugu-
rated in off years before the latter part
of September, so that a short and sharp
political contest should satisfy every de-
mand.-Bee.
