Germans Anticipating the Early Conn
ing OF Peace.

Immense quantities of goods from Ger
many, more particularly machinery, are
being prepared for shipment to South
Africa, IT is stated, in anticipation of the
closing of the war" says Consul George
Sawter, at Giauchau, in a recent dispatch
to the State Department.
The agents Of leading German firms
says the consul, are proceeding to Cape
Town, in order to give their principals the
earliest information as to affairs in the
republics and their probable needs when
the war is brought to a close. The general
belief is that the end of the war will he

world has not seen since the days of the
Australian god discoveries.
According to official accounts the imports

1896 In 1898 1t amounted to 81 S4S sos The
importation Of German textiles has grown
annually, under even unfavorable condi-
tons, increasing from s429,S15 in 1897 to
s5HO.250 In 1898.
Consul Sawter says that 1t is unhesitat-
lngly admitted by our competitors that
goods from the United States are given the
preference in South Africa and he believes
it advisable for our exporters to direct their
interest in the direction of the TransyaaI

injury to public interests in other respects.
Whenever it may become special source
of legal injury to an Individual he will have
an action of damages therefor. and in cases
of continuation, equity would afford COM
plete relief by process Of Injunction.
The Court of Appeals goes on to say that
In a large and growing community condi-
tions like those suggested. and others.
might well be appFehended to become wild
ened in distribution as well as increased
in degree through contributions to the vol
ume of smoke made by other smokestacks
or chimneys of like use. Charged with the
duty of guarding the public interests and
vested with wide discretion and liberty Of
choice in the means adopted thereto Con-
gress 1t must be presumed, inquired into
and duly considered the effect present and
prospective, of the continued emission, con-
stantly or at intervals, OF dense, black or
gray smoke upon those public interests in
respect of safety, comfort and cleanliness.
And 1t must also be presumed adds the
Court of Appeals, that it apprehended and
duly considered the probable injury to or
burden upon private property in such use
through the increased expense that may be
involved in the use of understanding ap-
pliances or. in case of their inefficiency in
the substitution of smokeless coal. coke or
other fuel for the soft bituminous coal
which produces the Objectionable smoke.
Adopting a Regulation.
The policy of adopting a regulation to
meet the conditions, the Court Of Appeals
llOluS, is d IIldlleT peCullai1y anu exclusively
within the province of the legislative de-
partment. The judiciary can only interfere
with the exercise of the power where it is
manifest that the regulation has no real or
substantial relation to objects within the
police power, and constitutes palpable in
vasion of private right
In the light of the principles stated"
says the Court Of Appeals, 1.-The statute does
not appear upon its face to have been be-
yond the power OF Congress to enact: hence
the motion to quash upon that ground was
rightly overruled.
Nor can we concur in the contention that
the proviso excluding from the application
of the act 'chimneys of buildings used ex-
clusively for private residences renders the
statute void because Of inequality and un-
just discrimination. And the same may be
said as regards the limitation of the pro-
hibitcd smoke to its emission from any
smokestack or chimney used in connection
with any stationary engine steam boiler or
furnace -
In conclusion the court says: IF the
smoke constitutes a public nuisance at ali
II does not matter that 1t may not be con-
stantly emitted, but only at intervals, from
day to day.

ELECTRICITY AT vLADIvOsToCk
Contracts to BE Awarded for n Rail-
way and Lights.

Commercial Agent Greener at vladivo-
stock, Russia. writes to the State Depart
ment in regard to new electric railway
and electric light system about to be es-
tablished in that city. No favoritisn on
the ground of nationality, 1t is said, will be
shown in awarding the contracts for these
enterprises. The road will be about twelve
miles in length. No time limit for sending
in proposals for the completion of the work
has been set. The city will be responsible
for payment. All these conditions Mr.
Greener believes, should make INQUIRY on
this subject worth the while of persons in
the United States who are skilled in such
work.

CUMBERLAND PAYS THE COSTS

Question Seems Assured

Speci'i bIsl'atcn TO Inc Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, May S.-The last
object in the way of effecting a compromise
between the West Virginia Pulp and PAPER
Company, owners of the pulp mill at Luke.
and the city Of Cumberland was removed
last night by the city council agreeing to
assume the costs in the injunction suit to
restrain the pulp mill from poluting the
Potomac river. The city kept on taking
testimony and there had been a hitch
as to who would pay the costs,
amounting to about 500. The case was SO
near settlement that the council thought.
after spending thousands of dollars with
out getting pure water, the 500 costs
should not prevent the desired result from
being attained. By the terms of the COM
promise the pulp mill people abandon the
obnoxious sulphite process of pulp making
and substitute the soda process which is
harmless to running water. This is to be
done by August l. The pulp mill people have
commenced the erection of a mammoth
three-story brick pulp mill at Luke to tage
