The startling decline in the prices oil
steel, coal. iron and other industrial
stocks in Germany, which has been go

part to fear OF American competition
Since April 20 ten Of the leading steel
coal and iron stocks have lost from 81
to 50 points, fifteen others from So to
80. and ten others from % TO 35. The
Transvaal war and the disorder in
China are contributing causes. which

competition of American manufacture

Steal the Trust Plank.

steal the Trust Plank.
NEW YORK, June 23.-Richard
Croker arrived from England to-day on
Board the Cunard line steamer Lueania.
He says that he is ready to take very
active part in the coming national
campaign.
Mr.. Croker acknowledges having
owned American ice stock but said il
was bought before the company became
a trust and would not say il he was now
a stakeholder. AS to the request made
to Gov. Roosevelt to remove Mayor
Van Wyck for his ownership of ice
stock, Mr.. Croker said:
"The Governor has the power to 10
SO if the mayor is guilty. but all men
must be considered innocent until they
are convicted of wr~ong-doing."
What would you consider as guilt?''
he was asked.
We'll in case the mayor uses his Of
fee to get possession of the shares of
stock or to increase the price OF ice;
that would be, if proven, cause for his
removal was the reply.
Upon matters pertaining to the ma
tional campaign, Mr.. Croker said that
Roosevelt as MeKinley's running mate,
we would have San Juan hill all over
again." He said that he was going to
Kansas City and that he had to thank
the New York newspapers for making
him a delegate. 1t looked, he said, as
If Mr.. Bryan would be the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency.
Mr.. Croker was asked whether be
thought Controller Coler would make a
good Vice Presidential candidate or
a stronger candidate for Governor, but
he said that he could not answer that
Mr.. Croker said that in their trust
plank the Republicans were simply
~straddling the matter. They cannot
take that plank away from the Demo

DID NOT PLATTER THE ORATOR
A Minnesota Congressman Who Made
Hit by the Drummer
He Engaged.

Congressman Eddy, of Minnesota,
enjoys a joke, even though it is at his
own expense. He relates this story OF
bow one of his constituents got the
best of him and curbed his youthful
vanity, says the Chicago Chronicle.
'In making the campaign in my dis
trict one year." said Mr.. Eddy, 81 took
along as an attraction veteran of the
war of 1912 and of the civil war who
was famous hand at beating the
drum. He was a drummer from away
back and could arouse a whole town
ship. Drum music is an incendiary
kind of thing anyhow, and the old
captains drumming was particularly
stirring.
"Well, one night, after the captains
drum had given the usual overture, }
commenced my speech to the populace
which had been lured to the scene by
his drum. l noticed at the foot of the
rostrum, the same being a big dry
goods box, bright-eyed little fellow
about ~ years old, who sat through
the speech, following me with great at
tention. 1t pleased me very much.
Any fool can interest an audience OF
adults, but it takes a genius to hold a
child.
$50, after the speaking, went down
and spoke to the little fellow, and after
shaking hands with him asked him
how he liked my speech.
"'Oh, it will do he said, but if /
was you I would keep the captain
q drummin' all the time"

WANT GOOD ROADS.
The Farmers of Pennsylvania Are Be-
ginning to Pay Attention to the
Cost of Hauling.

The subject of good roads is begin
ming to occupy the attention OF the
farmers of Pennsylvania, and prom
ises to become, before long, prom
inent factor in state and county cleo
tions.
In a recent address at Doylestown
Edmund G. Harrison, chief engineer
of the United States department of
road inquiry, said the average cost OF
transporting products in the United
States over common roads is 25 cents
per mile, an aggregate of $9OO,oOO,-
900. With good roads, such as they
have in many parts of New Jersey,
Connecticut, New York, Massachu-
sets and Kentucky, he said, the cost
is reduced to eight cents per mile
The average of building good roads is
about $4,000 per mile.
According to these figures, it is
much cheaper to maintain good roads
than it is to allow the poor ones TO re-
main. Good roads practically effect a
saving of two-thirds in transportation,
The residents of cities have learned
to realize the benefits of improved
highways. 1t is safe to assert that
Philadelphia would not go back to the
old era of cobblestone paving and
reeking cutters if they had to sell the
public buildings and the ground on
which they are ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

unpaid, and In the majority OF cases
the Office of consul joins on to mans
regular commercial business, and
forms portion of his trading facili-
ties. OF course, the position OF Brit
ish consul gives him certain status,
and there are various fees which come
to him, according to his place OF resi-
dence, which have to be RENTED to
the foreign Office.
1t would be too lengthy to detail all
the different fees which he has a right
to demand, but a few of the more Curl
GUS may be quoted, as, for instance,
for recording a mortgage OF a ship
made under a certificate, Ell; for
every sale of ship, Ell; for every
seaman engaged before q consular Off
Ger, 2s; for every desertion certifi-
cate by a consular officer, rs; for at
testing q seaman's will, rs; for ex-
animation of provisions or water, to
be paid by the party who proves to be
in default, los; for every marriage
solemnized by a marriage officer and
registered by him, los.
It is not generally known that a
consul, under certain circumstances,
can act as marriage officer, and may
unite two British subjects In matri-
mony. He also issues passports, certi-
fles to a persons identity, registers
births and deaths, and there are hun
dreds of other little duties which he
may be called upon to perform.
According to the official regulations
the flag to be used by her maJesty's
diplomatic service Is the union nag
with the royal arms in the center, on
a white shield surrounded by a green
garland. The flag to be used by her
majesty's consular officers when en-
barked in boats or other vessels is the
blue ensign, with the royal arms In
the center of the fly of the flag.
In accordance with time-honored
custom, agents and consul generals
rank with but after major generals
and rear admirals in order of Official
precedence. Consuls rank with but
after colonies. Vice consuls rank
with but after majors, and consular
agents rank with but after captains.
In some cases the most curious IN
stances occur at foreign ports, owing
to the ignorance of officers as to the
exact official precedence of consuls,
and II is on record that in at least one
instance a popular consul always Wis
its ships at his port with a copy OF
these regulations In his coat tall
pocket, to be shown to the officer in
command II q captain goes down to
lunch before his consulship.
