WILMINGTON JUTE MILLS SOLD.

Disposed OF by tho Trustees for the Credit
tors to the Planet Mills Manufacturing
Co. OF Brooklyn.
The Wilmington Mills Manufacturing
Co. IS plant in this city has been sold
to the Planet Mills Manufacturing Co.
OF Brooklyn, N. ", for SS6, 900. 1t is
a most advantageous sale.
About two months ago, the Whining
ton concern, of which the officers we're
James G. Morrow, president, and Lewis
b. Morrow, secretary and treasurer,
found itself in need of ready money.
As the banks were the principle credi
tors, the company laid the situation
before them. 1t was decided to turn
the concern over to the creditors, and
John H. Dandy of the Union National
Bank and Caleb M. Steward of the
National Bank CT Wilmington and
Brandywine, were appointed trustees
of the property for the creditors. The
capital stock was transferred to them
as trustees, and Mr.. Dandy became
president and Mr.. Steward treasurer.
Within three weeks, negotiations
we're set on foot for the sale Of the
plant to the Brooklyn company which
is a very rich concern, in the same
| line, that Of the manufacture Of jute,
and the sale was oonsummated yester-
day. Representatives of that company
were in town yesterday receiving
the papers, which convey to- them the
property. There is reserved the book
accounts CT the old company and they
| will be devoted to the liquidation oil
| indebtedness,
These book accounts will aggregate a
substantial figure The Newfeld Smyrna
Rug Co. in Salem, n. j.. will continue
in the possession Of James @. Morrow
and is not included in the purchase.
In arranging for the sale of the iute
mills, the trustees have been repre-,
sented by Willard Salisbury and
| William 4. Lyman and the Morrow in.
terests by Herbert II. Ward.
1t Is understood that the new owners
will continue the plant, for the present
at least, under the name of the Will
mington Mills Manufacturing Go. The
place is very busy, employing severa

A Competition That is Making Itself Felt
Ships Gan Be Built as Cheuply in This
Country ms Ahrond.
Special Dispatch to Gazette and Journal.
Washington. March IL. The State
Department has just made public q
letter from Ernest T.. Harris, the United
States consular agent, at Eihenstock,
Germany, under date of January Gath,
1900, 10 which no makes some very
interesting statements regarding the
CON percial competition between the
United States and European nations.
Mr.. Harris quotes from an article
published in the Grande Revue, written
by George Wenlersse, which says in
part: 1.-The danger is already at our
threshold and is making itself felt.
Brutal figures prove this fact most con-
clusively. A revolution which will
change the commercial balance OF
power Is takin, place before your Dyes.
Until recent years, the Americans have
been the best customers of European
industries; they arc now our COMPETE
tors, and in very many branches have
beaten us in the worlds markets. "
1t can clearly be seon by the fore
going that the foreign manufacturers
are becoming alarmed, even to the en-
tent of being publicly warned, oyer the
| growth of American export trade, and
1T will not be surprising to hear that
the duties on American products have
been increased to a much higher rate
| within very short time.
| 1t will be OF interest to Americans to
know the foothold our railroad rails
and coaches have gained in European
countries. Within the last few years,
a very large majority of the rails used
for building roads in the British
colonies aud other foreign countries
are of American manufacture. The
same can he said of coaches and other
rolling equipment, about Is per cent
being furnished by firms of the United
States. In speaking of iailrnad sup
plies, Mr.. Wenlersse snys in his article:
"Even Europe is not safe against the
invasion of American goods. Russia,
France, Germany and Italy must pay
tribute. England herself buys Ameri
can locomotives, steel rails, paperware,
railroad coaches and even coal. Ii
would be frivoity itself to remain in
different to the expansion of thi:
levlathan people.
But there Is branch, of American
industry that does not fare SO well, ant
that is American transportation ant
shipbuilding. Ninety per cent Or NOR
of the freight shipped nom this
country is carried by vessels Of foreigl
, companies and foreign make, conse
, ouently il number of these vessels oil
the Atlantic were displaced on accoun
| of war or other unforeseen reasons, thu
change would mean great loss to GU
exporters.
} Ships can be built at Wilmington
) Philadelphia and other places in tn
United States just as cheaply as any
l where in Europe. and the sooner til
shipbuilders of this country realiz
8 cheaper the freight rates will become.

On Subject of Eloctrolysis-Dr. shortiidge
Careful for Bass IN Cool Spring Lake.
Chief Engineer Bond reported to the
Water Commission Tuesday that he
had placed data before City Solicitor
Conrad with reference to the damage
to water pipes by eleotrolysis, and Mr..
Conrad will have an interview with
Willard Salisbury, representing the
Wilmington City Railway Co. on the
subject, before taking action in court.
DIR. Evan g. Shortlidge appeared
before the board and opposed the plan
to clean the lake in Cool Spring Park,
saying he did not believe the growth in
the pond had anything to do with the
odor which has caused complaint. The
commissioners agree with him. DIR.
Shortlidge says that he has 1000 bass
propagating in the lake and the re-
moval of the vegetation would kill
many of the fish. They will soon be
old enough for removal. Chief Engi-
neer Bond has the matter of the lake
in charge and may report in few
weeks. 1t is thought some OF the odor
may come from Shipley Run sewer.
Chief Bond will report plan for a
graduated scale Of meter rates. For a
small service meter the lowest rate will
be charged, and the charge will in
crease with the size of the aperture.
The chief will also make recon-
mendations fas the increase of the
water service in the neighborhood oil
Fourth street wharf; the Wilmington
Steamboat 90. requested adequate
service for fire protection.
Dead or dying trees in Cool Spring
Park will be replaced at o cost of SCI.
The application of the +. Blumentna
| Co. to be permitted to alter the COURSE
Of water pipes in the bed of Reet
street, in order to improve theii
service for protection against fire, wa'
granted. The company has placed
tank in lite yard in the bed OF Reet
street, which will contain a million
gallons Of water.
The department may advertise fo
proposals for a high duty pump to b.
constructed for supplying the tower il

Robert Young of Belle Center, Ohio,
stating that Young says no is still

Young was a saloonkeeper and whole

stationed in Belle Center and fought
the temperance efforts of Mr.. Huston
harder than any other man. Yet when
be was shot and expected to die he sent
for the Wilmington minister. There

already indicated in the London dis.
catches, the answer is declination OF

Adelbert Hay, United States consul at
Pretoria, who will submit it to the two
Presidents. This marks The end Of the
/ first overture toward peace. II is be-
lieved here, however, that another
effort will soon be made BY the Beers
to attain peace, though recourse may
be had to some other agency than the
United States.
President Mckinley has decided that
| it is not proper at this time to make
public the text of the communications
which have passed between Pretoria,
| London and Washington relative to the
peace negotiations. Therefore, the
Allen resolution, adopted by the Senate,
calling for the correspondence, must
remain unanswered for the present,
though there is reason to believe the
cause for maintaining secrecy on thit
1 point will soon disappear. II Is stated,
however, that the PRESS dispatches have
indicated the salient features OF thu
correspondence with sufficient accuracy
and about the only omission, so far al
can be learned, was tho failure to do

willingness to do anything within hi

Of the war, which he hoped might b

firmly declining the request of tn

probation of the oommendable senti
ments which inspired the President

to be some confusion in the publ
