GENERAL u 4 SITUATION.

Only Change is That Butler Is Again
Moving Toward He1pmaaker.
LONDON, March l22 The only impor-
Ftant change in the general situation in
South Africa, indicated by the news re-
ceiYed mp to noon is that General Butler
Is again on the move. The news comes
in a adispatch from the Boer camp at
Biggarsberg, dated Thursday, March 8,
saying:
Twelve Thousand British are threat
sening the Boer positions from the direc-
ton Of Helpn akaar, while a party Of
British scouts was encountered at
Waschbank, March 8. u ii2.;
This force was probably General
Hunter division, and it is considered
quite possible that an attempt may be
made to traverse the neck Of Znluland
into the Iransvaal, thus effecting the
double purpose Of outfanking the Beers
at Biggarsberg and threa atening Vryheid
and Utrecht. $l # rs s3ss ss8
The Beers are reported to be at Big
garsberg in consid derable numbers, but
it is said they are already sending their
stores to the rear. General Joubert ap-
pears to have left active service to take
charge Of the war office at Pretoria
Lonrenzo Marques stories attribute his
action partly to the alleged fact that he
has lost both control over and confid idence
III the bnrghers, and partly to his wish
to push the preparations for the siege
which are supposed to be being made at

AMERICAN MACHINES IN GERMANY

Consul Monaghan Makes Report to the
State Department. @
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Vice Consul
Monag CHAN, at Chemnitz, reports to the
state department. that owing to the in
creased importation Of American ma
chimes into Germany, the total value Of
the imports Of machinery increased from
$10, ,472,000 in 1890, to $l3, ,32S, 900 in
1898. The vice consul transmits two
newspaper reports touching upon Amer
lean trade with Germany. The first APP
peals to the German shoe manufactur
ers to combine to secure an. increase of
the tariff on shoes to 20 per cent, in
order to ward off the invasion of Amer
ican shoes.
Another extract inyeighs severely
against the German officials who award
ed contract for 20 locomotives, charg-
ing that the Americans made their bid
appear lower than the German bidders
by omitting the tariff, amounting to
about 81, 900 on each locomotive. This
"business trick" is severely criticized,
and there is also reference to Ameri-
can locomotives as inferior, being .sloco-
motives built by the dozen. .
The vice consul, however, says the
easy dup location of parts in the American
machines is really a great virtne, while
the bureau of foreign commerce points
out that American companies who bid
upon locomotives corrected the bid to
compensate for the tariff before the
awards were made. .s I. I'll

GERMAN WORK AT KIAU CHOU

Enlsrgipg Facilities For Trade, Especially
i'll the Matter Of Docks.
NEW YORK, March 10. "a correspond
ent, writing from Kiau Chou, the inn
portant Chinese port under German
control, says:
w hen German authority was first
established over this port it offered very
limited facilities for the quick dispatch
and repairs Of vessels seeking it. But
no time was lost in determining what
was needed to attract the shipping in
terest and enlisting private capital to
meet the ascertained wants. "a company
was formed with a fleet of towboats and
iron and wooden barges, sufficient fol
any probable demands, for towing and
Tightening service. This company is
negotiating FOR the acquisition Of an
extensive piece of ground next to the
Using. Tau bridge, on which large ware
houses for the storage Of imported goods
will be erected.
The bridge itself will be placed under
the management of the tow and lighter
comp which will provide it with the
requisite number of steam cranes for
loading and discharg rging, and also con.
meet it by railway with the warehouses.
The company has also leased q second
landing place for cargoes, so that it car
respond to- any likely requirement. fol
years to come. |
In April, the so-caled small port ii
the inner Kiau Chou bay will be ready
for use. 1t has landing pier over 5O(
feet long, with normal depth Of water
from 20 to % feet, SO that not only
hghtering vessels, but smaller steam
ships can discharge directly upon it.
In about two years the construction
Of the so-called great port will be com.
pleted, so far as to afford basin fur:
q, nishing protection in every kind Of
weather, and ample room for a large
number of vessels. It is expected tina,
by that time. a sufficient frontage d
docks will be furnished to enable large
vessels to lie alongside ard receive and
discharge cargoes directly from and into
railroad trains. =

CONTEST IN THE
 FIFTH DISTRICT The Fierce Struggle is Nearing
 an End. CAMPAIGN CLOSES TONIGHT MT. Kersh Says That Colonel Thompson Has Won the Day, and Estimates His Majority Between =
 1000 and 1900
CAMPAIGN CLOSES TONIGHT

Montgomery, October 1S.-(Special )-The fierce, bitter struggle between the ,Thomp son and Brewer forces for supremacy in the Fifth Congressional district will close after one more days battle. The result of the contest is barely longer in question. From careful survey of the situation it seems one day before the primary that Colonel Thompson will get the Congress sional nomination by a handsome majoIi- ty
 Since the actoin of the state committee in referring the contest back to primary to decide who is the nominee, the Thomp son forces have been most active through out the district, prominent speakers filling appointments in all the counties. The Brewer forces have been little on the stump, it seemingly having been their plan of campaign to still hunt This mode of campaign has. beyond question been against them the people over the dis trict have desired an argument of sthe questions involved.
 Colonel Thompson went to Lowndes the home county of Colonel Brewer, to open his second campaign, and advices from that county are that Thompson will poll
 
 extremely doubtful if Brewer will receive majority in any other county in the dis trict than Lowndes. The Thompson cam paigners have been active in Autauga, El- more, Tallapoosa, Chambers. Coosa, Clay and Randolph and as a result of this ac- tiyity it is confidently predicted that each of these counties will show a majority for the Macon man next Saturday.
 There has been considerable comment over the district to the effect that the Brewer men would challenge a large DOT tion of the Thompson vote and thus seek to overthrow the will of the people. There can be no denying the fact that a majori- ty of the recent recruits to the Democratic party in the Fifth are for Thompson, but that Democrats will seek 10 thwart the will of the Democrats few can believe.
 After a personal canvass of the district, l am practically assured that Thompson will win the nomination by from 1000 to 150O majority, estimating the vote to be boiled at from one-half to two-thirds. It is but one more day until the battle of ballots, and activity on election day will have considerable bearing upon the final results. F. E. KERSH.

OVATION FOR HANNA
Ends His South Dakota Tour at Sioux
 Falls

Sioux Falls, s. D.. October 1S.-Two days of speech making by Senators Hanna and Frye in South Dakota were concluded at Sioux Falls tonight with three mee tings, one in the Auditorium and the other in the opera house. In this, the home of Senator Pettigrew, the biggest demonstration of the campaigning tour was held. The cele- bration included torchlight procession, in which marching clubs from several near by towns took part, and fireworks on an elaborate scale. It had been the original intention to hold but two meetings, at the Auditorium and new opera house, but the crush was so great that an overflow meet ing was held at the old opera house. Sen ator Frye made an extended address in the Auditorium, Senator Hanna speaking first at the new opera house. At the Audi iorium he was given an ovation.
 Turn around, Mark, and let us see you" shouted some one on the stage and the national chairman bowed his acknowledge ments to the throng and he did so laugh ingly as the women waved their handker- chiefs. You seem to be ready for the election out here," said MT. Hanna. After what l have seen today, so am l."

TEDDYS TOUR
Nearing an End-He is Now in West
 Virginia

Parkesburg, W. Va, October 18-Gov- ernor Roosevelt will finish his general cam pagn at Baltimore tomorrow night, after having travelled nearly 1900 miles and after having made nearly five hundred speeches, short and iong. Then he will spend the final week of the campaign in New York State Tonight he is jubilant over reports from New York which to his mind presage great Republican victory there.
 Today's work began at Canton O., the home of Mckinley.
 After a hard days campaigning through Ohio and West Virginia, Governor Roose- Welt reached Parkersburg tonight and ad- dressed a large audience. paying special attention to Senator Jones' denial that the American Cotton Company is a trust.
 He produced a statement of the company and argued that its own figures, prospec- tus and plan of procedure entitled it to the name of trust He said that in exploiting its stock the American Cotton Company had boasted of its ability to control the price of cotton, and entered the market with the expressed intention of cornering the crop and mastering the market To this end, after the established methods of trusts. the American Cotton Company had, he said. bought out and gained control Of three or four smaller factories having pat ents which enabled them to make the round bale of cotton. Roosevelt accused the cot ton bale trust of first securing prohibitive advantages in freight rates gaining the foreign markets, squelching competition, establishing and controlling warehouses when the money could be loaned on cotton crops and in every way fulfilling the most hideous offenses that have been ascribed to the Standard Oil Company and other monopolieS.
