German Estimation of American
Methods and Manufactures.

Frederick Nachod, United States vice con-
sui at Leipzig, has submitted to the State
Department two interesting articles which
appeared recently in prominent news
paper of that city. The first indicates that
the Germans are well satisfied with the
present export trade to the United States
and with the prospects for the future.
In the second. American manufactures
and exports are discussed. The writer
praises the American manufacturer very
highly, both as to his methods and his rela-
lions with the American workman. He
compares them with the German manu-
facturer and workman, and, although he
does not anticipate any danger from Amer
lean competition at the present day, he
nevertheless warns his countrymen to be
on the qut vive, and recomm ends that they
initiate the Americans, not only in their
activity, but also in their methods of
manufacturing. He gives some good hints
in regard to the consular service. discusses
the proposed imperial bureau of commerce,
and adds that although 1t Is evident that
the import Of American articles of manu-
facture into Germany is regarded with fear
by some Germans, larger part Of the peo-
pie rather welcome these importations. on
account Of their good quality at relatively
low prices, and also because the keen COM
petition acts as an incentive for Germany
to bring her products to the highest posi-
Bile point of perfection.

FAIR CHANCE OF RECOVERY
SAMUEL MCDONALD IS SLOWLY BUT
STEADILY IMPROVING.
The Gauze Filling Removed From His
Wound This Morning With
out Difficulty.

Samuel Mcdonald. the slayer Of Auditor
Frank l.. Morris. is slowly but steadily i'm
proving at the Emergency Hospital from
the effects of his self-inflicted wounds, and
while his condition cannot be regarded as
otherwise than precarious the chances for
his recovery are not as remote as they were
at first believed to be- DR.. Vaughn, as
sisted by DR.. Moulden. the resident ply
sician at the hospital, this morning removed
about yard of the gauze filing which had
been placed in the wounds Saturday. There
was little or no hemorrhage. .-.-
No Apprehension Felt.
Despite reports to the contrary. the
physicians did not apprehend any
efforts on Mr.. McDopald's part to in
terfere with the removal of the gauze, and
he was given no anaesthetic. Their con-
fdence was rapaid by the entirely docile
manner in which the patient bore himself.
The physicians are struck by the tremen-
dous reserve force which Mr.. Mcdonald
displays, and Dr. Moulden said this after
noon that he regarded his chances for re-
covery as fair. and that he was now TAX
Ing nouriShment regularly.
Sees but Few Visitors.
Only a very few visitors are permitted to
see the patient and only those whom the
latter expresses a desire 10 have come 20
his bedside. The only caller yesterday who
saw him was Rev. Dr. Stafford of ST.
Patrick's Catholic Church. To friend who
saw him this afternoon Mr.. Mcdonald ex-
pressed his deep appreciation of the atten-
tons he is receiving from the hospital au-
thorities and the officer who is on duty in
his room
His nephew. Judge Miller of Steubenville,
Ohio, will arrive here this afternoon, and
his brother. William II. Mcdonald, IS ex-
pected to reach the city from Denver either

PEACE COMMISSIONERS MEET.
Prince Ching Exchanges Credentials
for the Powers Joint Note.

Prince Ching Exchanges Credentials
for the Powers Joint Note.
A cablegram received at the State De-
partment from United States Minister Con-
ger, dated at Pekin on the Gath instant,
states that the first formal meeting be-
tween the diplomatic representatives and
Prince Ching took place on that date.
Ching presented the credentials of himself
and Ii Hung Chang, who was unable to
attend owing to illness. to the diplomatic
representatives, who handed to him the in
ternational note The officials of the State
Department aye unwilling to venture
guess to the length of time that will be
consumed by the Chinese government in
consideration Of the note.
The last article of the note notified the
Chinese government that the occupation Of
Chill and Pekin may continue until the
Chinese government has complied with the
terms of the note 1t may be stated, how
ever, that the United States is not bound
or affected by that condition. Our occu-
pancy from military point of view has
terminated and there Is no disposition to
renew 1t. AS for the other powers, 1t is
expected that the main obstacle they will
encounter in withdrawing under that con-
dition will be found in the difficulty in OBJ
tanning satisfactory guarantees upon the
Chinese promise to pay indemnities.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 26-Opening
prices this morning generally reflected
sharp advances over last weeks closing
level as the result OF the accumulation Of
buying orders over the holidays. The
higher prices naturally attracted profit
taking around the room and some shaSp
recessions had been recorded toward the
end of the opening hour. The establish
ment of a per cent rate for call money
early in the day was the occasion of some
concern among traders and led to an effort
to get prices Off Dizziness set In at TN,
decline, however.
Ihis action was generally construed To be
favorable. and commission houses came, N
with buying orders for round amount e
The volume of business after the digestive
period was well distributed, and there was
every indication that the leading banking
interests had the situation well IN hand
iigher prices were predicted, ana the OPP
timism during the afternoon was equal in
every way to that of last week.
Evidence is not wanting that Northern
Pacific is on the verge of an Important dis
closure, which will justify even nlgher
prices than any yet reached. Good Judges
of the market closely identified with inside,
interests are quoted as being certain of &
cnange In the status of the stock, which
Will warrant the improvement. The tape
Itself indicates that record prices do not
deter further accumulation OF both COM
mon and preferred stock.
The railroad list as whole was In good
demand, the prospects of the disbursement
of sem-annual interest next week aggre-
eating Sl6OOoO,0Oo, helping the demand for
the investment shares.
The feature of the market was the a.
mand for the Traction and Steel shares
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was well bought
at sharp advance under persistent rumors
that lease with guaranteed dividends had
been drawn in favor Of Metropolitan.
Manhattan for the same reason was
strong at top prices. There is little room
for doubt in the matter of these leases and
some rather extravagant prices are pre-
dicted in consequence. The Steel shares
We're taken by strong interests and an evil
dent effort is being made to restore them to
popular favor.
Tennessee Coal and Iron is likely to he
prominent In any activity in this group,
and Colorado Fuel, by reason OF an intrin-
sically strong position, seems a likely favor
lite.
The newer creations of last year are beins,
lead by Federal Steel, and it is probable
that the most merit is thereby made most
conspicuous. The short interest in Peoples
Gas was credited with advancing the price
of those shares.
Earnings from all sources We're favorable

row, after celebrating Boxing day today.

return to Washington next Monday after
an absence Of about six months in Europe.
A letter received from him at the French
embassy today states that he sailed on the

bassador spent much time at Paris during
the critical iuncture of the Chinese ques-
ton, comforting with the authorities on the
course to be adopted while NJ. Thiebaut
acted as charge d affaires In Washington
throughout the active negotiations carried
on here. There have been reports from
time to time that M. Cambon would be
transferred to another post, but he now re-
turns to Washington without any present
indication of transfer in the near future
His distinguished service governor gen.
eral Of Algeria, and the intermediary in
the Spansh-American peace negotiations
place him in line for one Of the first posi-
tons of highest rank In the French foreign
service, although the post at Washington
is now regarded as hardly second to any in
the service.
