DUNNAGE AND QUoINs.
a Curious Business Enterprise Car
ried on in london
F'rom the London Mal.)

In the labyrinth of streets contiguous to
the London Docks are to be found innum-
erable establishments devoted TO the
catering TO the multiform requirements of
sea-going vessels Here and there sign
boards affixed to hoardings bear the leg
end, somewhat recondite, Contractor for
dunnage and quoins."
For an elucidation of this abstrusively
worded phrase II is necessary to stroll
within the headings. Acres of ground are
concealed by small mountains of wood
one glance at which reveals the debris of
many conflagration- The ..dunnage'' con-
tractor on the first intimation of a fire des-
patches his agent, whose duties are to
contract with the insurance companies for
clearance of every atom of wood which the
ravages of fire have spared. This wood
known as dunnage, is eagerly purchased
by steamship owners owing to its adap-
liability as non-conductor of dampneSs.
The floors of the holds of vessels being
lined with the ''dunnage," permeation is
prevented The cargo may then lie safely
stored away in the hold, the desideratum,
an absolutely dry floor, being obtained.
Steel rails, invariably stocked athwart in
the hold frequently have a few inches of
space between them and the sides of the
vessel.
Were not the intervening spaces filed
with ''dunnage" the oscillation of the
ship would be responsible for serious
damage, for t%e steel rails have been
known to pierce a hole in TIE ships
sides. y paucity of fires does not in the
least diseoncert the ''dunpage'' contrae-
tor. sor the demolition of houses furn-
ishes him with fresh material for his
calling. This wood not having passed
through the vicissitudes of an ordeal by
fire is consequently of cleaner appear
anee. thereby permitting its being sawn
into lengths OF six inches to resemble
wedges, and is hereafter termed
''queins-' The .tquoins" are destined to
counteract the oseillating effects of a
ship when the cargo is composed of
casks or barrels. ''quoin" is inserted
between each cask to insure the sta
bility and rigidity Of the cargo, thus
defying all the effects at dislodgment
OF the wave or storm tossed vessel The
number of people engaged in this pecu-
liar industry is very few

STILL A PRISONER OF WAR.
Thirty-fve Years Since He Gave His
Parole.
From the Minneapolis Tribune)

CFrom the Minneapolis Tribune.)
The civil war was over long ago. hut in
spite of the friendship between the North
and the South the prisoners of war have
not been all released.
There stin lives in Minneapolis one man
who has been on parole for the past
thirty i've years and who is still pris-
oner of war as much as when he first re-
ported TO the provost at Fort Smelling
many years ago, so far as release is con-
cerned-
Col Platt B. Walker, one of the old
citizens OF Minneapolis came to this part
OF the country as prisoner of war, with
orders to report 10 the provost at Fort
Smelling.
I was one of the last Confederate Off
GERS to give up my toad-sticker. says
Mr. Walker. speaking Of his ex xgerienee.
When there was that wonderful gather
ing OF armies in the corner Of Texas.
Louisiana, and Arkansas, 1 was among
the troops. We had been driven back step
by step from Missouri, and there on that
memorable morning the whole army was
to elect whether they were to surrender
and go home or stay and be driven back
until we Joined Naximilian in Mexico.
Il was a wonderful sight to see the sep
aration On the hills to one side gath
cred those who were to surrender, on the
other those who were off for Mexico. l
was among the latter.
We went along through Texas until
about twenty miles from the Rio Grande
when 1 was overcome from a wcurd and
| never knew anything for twenty g1t
days.
Il awoke to find myself in a shanty,
where I had been cared for. and there one
morning through a pillar of dust that ap-
preached through the chapparal Captain
Glenn and detachment of Ohio cavalry
captured me. l was sent from there in a
broken-down rattletrap of a stage thirty
miles and finally went to Rock Island to
the prison there and finally to Fort SMELL
ing 1 didn't know whether l was to be
hanged or imprisoned for life but when ]
arrived the officer shook me by the hand
and turned me loose on parole and I was
issued three rations for eight months
Z stayed here, of course. because l was
a prisoner and l never got any further or

THE BRITISH SHOE TRADE.
Markeds Decline in Exports Reportet
for the Current Year.

for the Current Year.
Consul Byington transmits to the State
Department from Naples the following
clipping from the London Daily Express, 70
on the decline of the English shoe indus
try:
Slowly but surely the boot and shoe
manufacturing industry is dwindling in
England
The Board of Trade returns for last
month show that we shipped over {, 00e
dozen pairs less than we did In the previ-
Gus July. OF this shrfnkage, only about
half was due to the loss OF the South Afri-
can trade while the total loss was valued
at about 1864. This raised the decline
for the year to 5000 dozen, valued at
$206, $50.
Our imports of American and continen-
tai boots and shoes are rising rapidly,
while we are reshipping less and less OF
these importations TO our foreign and CO.
lonial customers. This means that We are
retaining more imported boots for our own
use and thus still further reducing the
market for homemade goods. We are
buying more largely than ever from the
cute Yankee and enterprising continental
rival. Though We sold 5000 dozen pairs
less last month We actually imported 700
dozen pairs more than in July 1899.
"A retrospect is still more startling In
1898 We spent $l,546, ,055 on imported boots
this year our purchases have risen to 81
i9o,S9S- Many may console themselves that
1t is only cheap and nasty rubbish We i'm
port But the reverse IS the fact Not
only is the quality OF the goods we import
improving even more rapidly than the
quantity, but il is already % per cent
higher than the price of the foot wear we
despatch to our own customers abroad.
Why is 1t that our shoe trade is thus
dwindiing and being snapped up By for
eigners? a host of factors may be sug-
gested. and each may play its part in the
general shrinkage; but one cause stands
out prominently.
Ladies and gentlemen desiring neat
and attractive foot wear buy French and
American goods. simply desiring neat and
attractive foot wear buy French and
American goods, simply because English
boots and shoes do not fit so we'll or feel
so comfortable as the imported ones. and
also they make the foot look large
The manufacturers reply. according to
the confessions of their trade organs. is a
frank admission that their boots do look
too big. But they throw the blame on the
unfortunate last makers, not half of
whom, they aver, know how to do more
than shape a block OF wood into some
thing resembling a foot The artistic
disposition OF the foot over the sole is
described as The one aim and object Of the
French and American last maker. while
its mere distribution is said to be the
only object in this country.
This distinction is characterized as a
nice one, but it is acknowledged never
theless 70 be vital and it explains tho
comparatively small bulk the foot occu-
pies When inCased in an imported boot"

hinder the Administration from doddering
calmly along in its attempt to make some
thing out of a situation which its own fol-
ly has rendered hopeless. It wants the
Empress Dowager back in Pelsin- and has
never entertained a thought of doing her
bodily harm. If she win return il will
give her the mighty protection of its littls
legation guard against the whole world.
This. We are assured by its leading or
gans, is the spirit II which our Minister
is to open up regulations, supposing that
TIE Hsi is willing To tell an opportunG lie
and say that she has dismissed Tuan. We
have great objections to this individual
because he led the attack upon the Iega-
tions and encouraged the massacre of all
foreigners. But We have none at all to
the female f1end wi.o inspired and ordered
that attack and those massacres- AS an
exhibition of political and diplomatic
paresis the course of the Administration
is as interesting as it is humiliating.

Mobfsm and RoosevcItfsn.


While there can be no defence of the conduct
OF those who participated in the discreditabIe
attack on Governor Roosevelt, his own conduct
and that OF his bodyguard Of Rough Riders was
certainly not above criticism and upquestion-
ably contributed TO the unpleasant result His
whole attitude and many of his utterances during
the campaign have been those of beligerent OF
a who seeking difficulty with sworn
eEenies, and not the attitude and utteraaces of
an American citizen reasoning with fellowcitizens
questions in which they all alike interested
and on which they all have equal rights of
opinion. His Rough Rider style and threatening.
words have had a tendency to infiame the passions
of the excitsble and to create a sentiment per-
sonally hostile TO him among all who object to his
donineering and bullyragging method OF campaign
ing. His intoIerant tone and ideas seem to have
been communicated to his rough-riding retinue,
for according 10 the dispatches the first hostile
act at Victor was that OF one OF his followers who
spatehed a Bryan banner from one of the women
in the crowd around the station. 1t is clear that
it was al unfriendly assemblage that greeted
him, but Governor Rc6seve9tt Ai1 not Improve the
situation when he charged a man who called out
something about canned beef with being cow
ard public speaker who cannot keep his own
temper sets bad example to the crowd which
ne is addressing, and must not be surprised if
his example is followed.

GAINS IN GERMAN TRADE.
Increase in Exports of Manufactured
Articles to Sweden

According to the American Consul at
Coburg the imports into Sweden from
Germany show considerable gains, a fact
which is giving general satisfaction in
German manufacturing circles, as it has
been said of late that Sweden, owing to
the rapid development of her industries,
would gradually become independent of
Germany
In 1898 the import of German goods into
Sweden amounted to S42. $40, ,S00 an in
crease of j,t64, 000 as compared with 1897
while in So it had risen to S49, ,365. 500
England wi Il $41, ,432, 500, against So, ,278, :
500 in 1895 takes the next place after Ger
many, but increase of the English trade is
altogether due to the importation of coal
which has gained by SASS, 0O0 while the
German trade consists of numberless
small manufactured articles
The Consul thinks that Sweden should
be a promising ground for our goods. The
large Swedish element in the United
States he says, who are aware of the su-
periority of our manufactures, would un-
doubtediy be factor in this trade if our
exporters will only take the proper initia-
tive

A NEW YORK MYSTERY.
Parts of a ChiId's Body Found in

the North River.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The finding in
the North River in the last forty-eig4,t
hours of three dismembered portions of l
newly born male infant has brought To
light what the police believe to be muir
der similar in many respects TO the Gull
densuppe homicide Since Thursday morn
ing three separate portions Of the body
have been found floating in the North
River. The head. neck. and right leg of
the infant are still missing, and the har-
Dor police are searching for these miss
ing parts.
There is not the slightest clew in the
hands of the police although three de-
| teetives from the Central Office are de-
tailed on the case. They are being as
eighth Street and the West 15ad Street
stations. According to a statement made
at the morgue yesterday, it is the work
of a person who was cool and skilled in
the dismemberment of the body. The de-
tectives have gained no clew-
Policeman McGann. of the West Sixty
eighth Street station. found the left arm
on Thursday morning floating at Seventy
ninth Street The trunk was discovered
at 179th Street on Thursday afternoon by
William Eerlihy. Yesterday Michael
Hennessy licked up the left leg off Sew
enty-ninth Street.
At the morgue Deputy Coroner HamiI-
ton Williams made minute examination
of the dismembered portions. He said
that the examination had disclosed that
the body had been that of male infant.
The left arm, severed at the shoulder, had
been cleanly cut with a sharp instrument.
Across the body was a cut, keenly outlin-
ed, ending just below the centre OF the
abdomen. Down the spinal column was
a cut similar in description The lower
limbs had been severed, the bones having
been cut squarely in two. The bones OF
the pelvic arch were missing. The head
and neck are missing, but the trunk shows
the same clean and evident skiiiful use
of the knife. The cutting on the neck
was such as to indicate its having been
done with one stroke of q heavy and very
sharp instrument. The ceryical and lum-
bar Yertebrae were squarely severed.
Dr. Williams stated that there vas no
doubt that the work had been done by one
] Skilled in the use OF the knife This was
especially evident where the arm had been
severed at the shoulder. After the first
incisfon had been made there was no jag
ged cutting or hacked edges, but clean,
smooth surface left.
