anncuIi5emenGs of certain contracts Sc
cured by Americans has caused a feel
ing, sometimes amounting almost to
luminosity. The feeling against Amer
lean competition is greater in Ger
many than elsewhere. Still, there is
little ground fer it, as most CT our ex-
ports are partly finished material.
Take machinery, for instance. The
export is considerable to Germany,
and with it the Germans manufacture
articles which they sell at home and
abroad at large profits.
Ten or fifteen years ago we import
ed aiboyE hundred million dollars
worth of steel and iron, now we export
nearly, that amount. A great part of
this iron and steel is in structures for
bridges and buildings.
There is more reason in this export
than American low prices. I have
visited every country in Europe, ex-
cept Spain and Portugal. Everywhere
l was struck with the air of general
prosperity. Work WAS plentiful, and
there was no appearance of want in all
the principal cities, such as Paris,
Berlin, Vienna and Amsterdam
can immense number ol buildings
were in course of construction. In
Paris there is nothing but the EXPOSE
ton. In Amsterdam they are driving
piles in all directions for foundations
for new buildings. Europe is not able
to supply the demand and American
orders, in the majority of cases, are
only the surplus which cannot be sup
piled by the European manufacturers.
Mr.. Porter, says that Russia feels
most kindly toward US, but gives
America only orders she cannC. her
self fill. English orders for American
locomotives are given because Eng
fish manufacturers are unable to sup
ply the demand.
He thinks that if Mr.. Bryan sue
ceeds in restricting the silver ques-
ton it will cast a shadow across the
sunshine of our prosperity. There will
be she usual withdrawal of foreign
orders and the usual shock to capital
ist enterprise at home.

IA FORTUNA NINE
An Interesting Story of Its Early
Discovery.

Mr. Tenn Lewis was in the city yes
terday from the La Fortuna gold mine.
MIR. Lewis says shat the main working
SHIFT is new down 800 feet and the ore
at that depth is Of the same quality
that found in tn eurpar workings. The
La Fortuna is gold mine with a re-
mark6l5le record. 1t was rich from
the grass roots and produced some of
the richezt ore ever found in this ter
r:tory
Mr.. Lewis says that the camp is in
y prosperous condition, and the mine IS
expanding every month. 1t has
proved beyond all doubt that the great
EST value Of the mine is in the depths
Of The earth, and the prcp1uators are
getting down On the vein as fast as
they can The average value Of the
La Fortuna ore is said tc be $50 a ton.
The original ore found ran as h.g.l as
$4,000 to the ton.
Mr. Lewis visit recalls the story of
the discovery of this min, which, ike

west, was seemingly pure matter If

PONCE BANKRUPT.
The City Is Practically Out Of
Funds,

Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. S0--At a
Meeting CT the city council yesterday
1t was suddenly discovered that the
city was practically out of funds, only
200 pesos being in the treasury, and
that it was impossible to supply the
needs Of the board of health. Gov
ernor-General Davis was asked for a
loan Of $4,000, or a gratuity OF
S. 900, but replied that he had no au-
thority to grant either request.
The board of health has, consc-
quently, been compelled to stop all
work On the streets. The merchants
refuse to honor orders on the city
treasury and the distribution of food
and clothing will cease.
Lieutenant Eames, president Of the
board, stated chat he had the sanitary
situation under control, but that if the
work of cleaning the streets were per-
manently stopped and it should rain
the result would be serious. Lieuten-
ant Eames contemplates an appeal di-
rectly to Governor Rooseeelt. Rain is
now setting in here

from all parts of the dominion, come
to attend the thirty-second annual
meeting of the Canadian Medical as

this morning in the building of the
educa tional department. The session

of infectious disease and other matters

with marked attention by the large

AT the same time Wall street was pro-
NOTED from uameless aTleyhood to the
right and title OF a stree.- 1t takes
more than one edict of a council to
convert an alley into a street and
even the name of Commercial was
lost among the barrels, boxes, garbage

there. The new building will be the

SENATOR T1LnMAN COMPLAINS.
Says Newspapers of Souln Carolina
Are Boycotting Him.


Columbia, S. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Tillman is hard at work on his fences.
The annual state convention of the
farmers alliance, held here on the
lass of July, with twenty-five members
present and five of those off1ceholdlarS
in this city, demonstrated the extent
to which that organization had petered
out Immediately after it che SEN
ator began attending picn:cs, re
unions and Ibarbecues in various parts
of the state, making speeches in his
old vein.
The senator is bitter about the
changed policy of the daily papers to-
ward him. In former days staff cor
respondents chased him around, re-
porting his speeches by the column.
This summer the senator has often
held the ear of only those within hear
ing distance of his voice. the chief pa
pers of the state ignoring him-tired,
they say, of the same vituper2Eion
and personalities.

mouth. The only morning daily sup

REMEMBER.

but when stepped upon it pops like a
torpedo.
A lady passing down Washington
street few evenings ago stepped upon
one Of these bugs and the explosion
was followed by a dainty little scream
as she imagined a bomb had been
thrown at her
Another very common bug during
the summer time is the Spanish fly.
Il is green and is rightly named, as
green is one Of the leading Spanish
oolors. 1t is alleged that the Phoenix
Rough Riders who went to Cuba were
literally provided with supply of
This insect and the theory accounts for
the way they made the Spanish fly

one with an exceedingly hard shell
and a small head that enables him to
crawl through very small aperture,
and once he gets through a button
hole one might just as well content
himself to let him stay there or
get up and disrobe, for no amount OF
squeezing will crush the life out of
him.
The congress Of this particular kind
Of hug adjourned some weeks ago, to
make room fer a still smaller variety,
that looks like katydid, but is not
over a sixteenth of an inch long. They
are Lively little fellows and delight in
crawling through ones hair as they
are so small they can hardly be shaken

bald-headed man is supposed to

crawl around the lamp and at the
evening meal battle in everything of a
liquid nature that appears on the
table.
Another insect of which there are
many varieties easily cultivated in this
climate is the mosquito. Like the
poor he is with us always, but in the
winter time he is not distressingly
active. 1t has been said that mos
quittoes grow here as big as vultures,
but it is only mistake. They only
seem SO. Put enough of them together
and they are as big as two vultures
and twice as hungry. They are very
musical, however, and their singing
compensates for their familiarity.
Some Of them can make more noise
than a hooking bird (seemingly)
about two a m. when their voices are
at tEoir best. There are many RENE
dies for mosquitoes that are sure death
if one can catch the mosquito and adj
minister the dose.
There are many other kinds of bugs
festive. interesting and arrayed in
colors that would make a Partisan
dressmaker enVious, but space forbids
greater detail. 1t is enough that the
season draws nigh when the bug con-
gress will adjourn for a few months,
and the noticeable falling off in their
numbers justffies the prediction that
PhOenicianS at the summer resorts
will soon be coming home.
Lest those unacquainted with this
valley should become alarmed and fear
to settle here, it should be stated that
these insects are only one of the many
diversions enjoyed by these that have
become 2cclimated, and are utterly
harmless.
As for the tarantula, scorpion and
centipe1e, they belong to the aristOc-
racy and are not currently met with
They are much sought after Though
usually with a club and if given half
a show will run rather than be killed.
