The committee which is organizing the German Antarctic expedition has decid- ed that the expedition is to be composed of one ship only, in order to secure greater independence and mobility. The vessel is to be built entirely of wood. The committee are confirmed in this de- cison by Nansens experience with the Fran, and by their desire to eliminate all possible causes of error in their mag uetic observations. The ship is to be laid down this autumn, and the eApe0l- tion is to be ready to start in the autumn of 1901. It is to be away for two years altogether After touching at the yape it will make for the Antarctic con-

Monday and drove in buggy TO Gathers
burg. where she boarded the DO pm tram
for Washington. After reaching Gathers
burg she hired a colored man to take the
team back to her uncle's home. Being
aware that Miss Taylor had only been in
Washington once or twice, and fearing that
something might Happen to her, MIR. Cooper
came TO the city on later train. he as
certained that Miss Taylor was seen soon
after her arrival at the Baltimore and ONO
depot here but after that all trace OF her
was lost A general alarm, which was sent

but the tables were served by Miss futile,
Miss Doherty, Miss Shaw, Mrs. Luckett,
Mrs. Brock and Miss Joyce, the matron.
Twenty nine of the inmates, too feeble TO
come down to the dining room, were waited
upon upstairs by Miss Kimball and Mrs.

and fruit.
Tuesday afternoon the affair was re-
peated in the home for old colored men.
There are lightweight of these housed in
two buildings. While their entertainers
were busy preparing the dainties they sang
some of the old hymns with wonderful
harmony and expression.
The largest donation received in connec-
ton with the tea was S., which came to
Miss Van Dcren to be applied to that pur-
pose and signed only "A friend of the I'M
Fortunate" This amount was expended in
angel cake. and peaches for the coiored
home.

Reason for Delay in Arrival of the
Big Ocean Liner.

The New York Herald of today says:
The steamship St Paul of the American
line, late valued cruiser in Uncle Sans
navy, signaied her arrival at Fire Island
at 3 oc clock yesterday afternoon, three days
late. After battling terrific gales for three
days the discovery had been made that the
connecting elbow of the main steam pipe
which feeds the triple expansion engines
on the starboard side was cracked and the
pressure was reduced one-half.
1t is supposed that the savage seas en-
countered the first three days out, which
pounded the ship until she creaked and
groaned from stem to stern, strained the
big 16-inch steam pipe, causing the con-
Meeting elbow to crack along its outer
surface. The crack did not reach through
to the inner surface of the pipe, but ex-
tended lengthwise along the outer sur
face for about is inches.
On account of this mishap the steam
pressure was reduced and the big liner
made the remainder of the voyage at
about half speed.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star
AS citizens and residents of East Wash
ington Heights the people of that section
of the District of Columbia are especially
interested in local expansion" and just
now feel greatly concerned for the speedy
construction of the railroad eastward
whose charter was granted during the last
session of Congress. 1t is understood that
the East Washington Heights Railroad
Company is ready to begin the work of
construction as soon as a city connection Is
provided for them. This connection was
provided for. as it was supposed and ex-
pected. by an extension of the Capital
Traction road out along Pennsylvania ave-
nue. eastward to the bridge across the Ana
costa river. The charter for this extern
sion was passed in the House of Represent
tatives and now awaits final action in the
Senate. Why the wearisome delay in the
Senate is the question which the people
are anxiously asking from day TO day. A
few moments of attention to this matter
in the Senate would settle the business and
give this long-suffering section of the city
the accommodation Of rapid transit with
other sections of the city and District-a
boon for which they have been laboring and
pleading for long time, and which ought
to be granted most cheerfully and without
further delay. Until the Senate authorizes
the extension of the Capital Traction line
as presented in the bill that has passed the
House the building of this new suburban
road. will be practically impossible, city
extensions of suburban roads not being
permitted. There must be city connec-
ton. and this provides for such connection,
and without it this new and important
enterprise will be killed. The Capital Trac-
ton bill has been on the Senate calendar
with unanimous report in its favor for
nearly year, and IL does seem as IL IN
might and ought to be brought to a vote
and favorable decision be given soon. SO
as to allow the waiting work OF both COM
panies to begin and to go ahead to cow
pletion as speedily as possible. / plead for
the city and the people of East Washing
Ton Helghts. am not stockholder in
case, except that OF other citizens who
rejoice TO see growth and prosperity I'm All
our borders other suburbs have been
greatly favored in the matter OF randi
transit. Why not look eastward also
and give the people there a share in the de.
veiopment and properties of our magnif-
cent city? SIJBIIRRAN

TREATY WITH THE BARBADOES.
The First of the Kind Framed Under the
Dingley Law.

Washington. June ia reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain in relation to trade be-
tween this country and the British col
ony of Barbados was signed at the de-
partment of state to-day by the repre-
sentatlves of the two governments. 1t
is the first treaty framed under the
Dingley law and the first of the series
OF treaties which the British colonies
to the south of this country are seeking
to effect. John A. kaSSon, special reci-
procity plenipotentiary, signed for the
United States and the British charge
Mr.. Tower. for Great Britain. The
treaty is made for the term of five
years and is strictly within the terms
of section of the Dingley law, which
pprovides for a reduction of not more
than 20 per cent of the regular duties
on goods which may be agreed upon, in
return for reciprocal reductions gwen
by other countries and permits goods
to be taken from the dutiable list and
placed on the free list.
Because this convention is a treaty
and not mere reciprocal arrangement
and consequently must be submitted to
the United States senate for its APPROX
al, the state department is precluded
frfom making public it's terms. How
ever, information received from official
quarters has shown that the chief arti-
cles of export from the Barbados to
the United States are sugar, molasses
and maujak, the latter being a pitch
much like asphalt Sugar is the chief
product of the islands and the chief eX-
port to this country, the trade last year
reaching $2,03S,610.
The chief articles sent to the Barba-
does from the United States are food
stuffs, mainly flour. corn meal, salt
beef bacon, pork, bread and corn. The
islands depend almost entirely on this
country for their food supply. On the
other hand they have been getting their
manufactured goods almost exclusively
from England.
