The action Of the State Department
in cabling to Ambassador Choate to
notify the British Foreign Office that we
cannot admit England's right OF seizure
and 10 demand a declaration OF policy
and a concession Of liability relative to
the seizure OF American -four by British
cruisers near DelagOa Bay is the first
vigorous step taken by the Govern nent
in this matter The State Department
was at first ofthe opinion that the matter
was of slight importance, and began
communications with London and
South Africa by mail.
The United States makes two distinct
points:
First-A neutral port cannot be
blockaded, and Great Britaln's blockade
Of DelagOa Bay is Gnwa ranted and
contrary to the law Of nations.
Second-Flour, corn and meal are not
contraband OF war unless addressed to
the camp OF the ehemy. They can even
be sent into the territory OF the enemy
TO merchants. They certainly cannot
be stopped when consigned to neutral
port TO neutral merchants.
England has thus far failed TO state the
ground on which the rargoes we're
intercepted and forced ashore at East
London, instead Of LOurenzo Marques.

possession.

INFORMATION FOR BREWERS
AND OTHERS.
FRENCH WINE CROP.

FRENCH WINE CROP.
The reports thus far received from the
wine producing districts OF France
Algeria and runis promise Weld OF
about as, ,ooo, 900 hectolitsrs (I.26S, ,oIo,'
coo gallons) in 1899. The organs OF the
vine growers differ slightly In TINS
estimate. One Of the newspaper organs
OF the wine interests estimates that tue
surplus production of 1899 over 1898 viii
be absorbed in the following manner;
In home consumption, which IS
shown by the taxes levied at the city
gates upon wines entering the different
cities of France to be steadily increasing.
The increase for the first hall OF 1899
was ss8,47o hsctoliters (T4 734,7o7
gallons). 1t is believed to be moderate
estimate that the domestic consumption
for 1900 in the cities OF France will be
76,osS 700 gallons in excess of that OF
1898.
There will be a larger consumption
in the country than in years OF small
harvest.
An increased distillation tor
brandy. The steady increase Of the
annual production Of wine will compel
producers to devote larger percentage
OF their output to brandy, as they did
thirty and forty years ago. before the
in Jasion OF the phYlloxera and the
mIldew.
The agriculturists of France are
devoting more of their land to wine
growing at present than at any time
during the past forty years. Stock
raising and wine growing are considered
the two most profitable pursuits for the
farmer. Consul Covert passed a lew
days last summer in the Valley OF the
Rhone in the neighborhood of Valence
and St. Percy, where all the rich Her
mItage wine IS grown, and was taken
through thousands OF acres that had
been newly planted with vines and
shown stretches OF mountain aud hill
side which will all be under cultivation
in another year. On the steep muuntain
sides, where only the most stunted
vegetation seems possible, rich vines
are growing.
Alta meeting OF the National Agricul-
turaI Society, reported in the journal
Oficiel OF September 20, 1899, it was
set forth as a fundamental principle
never to be lost sight of By French wine
growers, that their success must IN the
future depend entirely upon grating
This principle is also applicable to the
wine growers of Spain, Italy, and per-
haps some other countries. No vine
can be worth cultiva'ing until it is
grated with the American vine, as 1t is
then proof against phylloxera. M.
Tezeir says that the insect always stays
where It has once taken up its abode,
and no one expects it ever to leave
France. There will therefore always be
a demand for American gratis for Italy,
Spain, France, Algeria, Tunis, and all
other wine producing countries.

OPENING FOR SHOE MANUFACTURERS,
There are, says Consul lie Bert

ment, no American made shoes on

(Ghent), nor can l learn that there
ever has been an effort made to intro
duce them. True, the induce ment IN
the past has not been Oi such nature as
to warrant much expense in endeavoriDg
10 establish a market. Oflate ears, the
conditions are becoming more favorable
for the leather shoe industry, as this
shoe is gaining IN popularity and IS
gradually taking the place Of the wooden
shoe. The wooden shOeis still in general
use among the laboring class and
farmers, being worn alike by men,
women and children. It Is very cheap,
a pair costing from s to 40 cents. On

ber wear yerv cheap shoes, costing from

running in price from g. to $3.50 per
pair The upper classes wear custom
made shoes. costing from s. so to 50 per
pair Among this class there IS a strong
prejudice against ready made shoes;
but this feeling can readily be accounted
for. as there are no fine ready made
shoes TO be had. There are few boots
worn, except by army officers.
A few custom shops turn out fair
looking shoe, but they all lack the style
and frish of the American fine ready
made shoe.
There are no shoe factories located at
Ghent; but at Iseghem, IN this consular
district, there are three establishments
of them quite extensive. There are
also several other large factories IN
Belgium.
The stocks OF ready made shoes are
all oi Belgium make, with the exception
OF that OF one house, which carries the

The Test of Love

nF ALL the noble rivers that go
" bounding to the sea, none is more
splendid than the Columbia. Its pine
clad banks give a majestic setting for
its silver stream. But why should il
be called silver? At times it is the
deepest green-deeper and more lu-
minous than the heart of jewel. There
are hours when its cascades have
thousand colors, like mother-of-pearI.
There are dawns, after the mist has
lifted, when the broad surface of the
river above the cascades is actually SAT-
from or FURNISHED gold.
Barbara Merriden knew it in every

and the firm earth, with all its comfort
and beauty. could never give her the
JOY that she felt when the current
took her boat in its strong embrace.
She went to the river in her SORROW

ODDS AND ENDS OF EARTH.
There Are Many Regions of the Globe
Yet Unknown to Civil
lied Men.

Young men with a taste for travel,
adventure and discovery have been late
ly in the state of mind indulged in by
Alexander, who sat down and wept be-
cause there were no more worlds to con-
quer. For the comfort and edifcation
of such Henry M. Stanley, the distin-
guished eX-traveler, publishes an arti-
Gle on the odds and ends of earth, which
are still left open, or rather closed, for
exploration, and which, with industry
and economy, could be made to yield
something to the traveller.
Mr.. Stanley begins with the continent
of Africa, which still offers certain par
cells of ground, one of them 700 miles
long and so miles wide, which have
never been thoroughly explored or, in
deed, explored at all. Besides the work
of original exploration there is in Afri-
ca an immense amount of supple
mentary exploration to be done. There
are mountains $4,000 feet high to be
climbed and written up in detail. These
mountains all have names which may
be found in any good central African
lexicon. The great African lakes, all
discovered since 1850, are konwn only,
as it were, in outline. Their depth or
their altitude above the sea level is un-
known as yet. The Nile has few more
sources yet to be discovered and so has
the Congo. There are believed to be
active volcanoes in Africa which have
never yet been studied by white men.
There are scattered around in the for
ests and mountains of Africa whole
tribes who have never seen a white
face. These are all to be looked up.
Besides Africa, the continent of South
America offers great tracts of almost
unknown country. An American
steamer occasionally ascends the ANA
zon, but the vast forest on the head wa
ters of that stream-its tributaries
themselves great rivers-is still mys-
terry. The great chain of the Andes has
been crossed in many places, but has
not been traversed lengthwise. A great
part of the Andean Cordil1era is COM
pletely unknown, says Mr.. Stanley,
both as to its topography and geology.
The Cape and Cairo railroad has been
spoken of as depending on circum-
stances, but one great explorers rail-
road is open for business already. 1t is
the great trans-Siberian all through
route from one side of Asia to the other.
South of this road lies one-ffth of the
continent of Asia, stretching away to
the Himalayas, which is good and fruit
full ground for the explorer.
Thus Africa, South America and Asia
are yet to be explored in large sections.
The arctic regions sti1l present their
hidden attractions and the traveller
may still seek them, cheered on by the
hope of freezing and starvation.-Kan-
sas City Globe.
