MANUFACTURING IN EUROPE.
1t Appears to Have Entered Upon
Period of Depression.

United States Consul Mahin at Richen-
burg reports to the State Department that
the manufacturing business of Europe
seems to have entered a period of Sc
we're depression. He adds, however, that
the causes such to justify the belief
that it will not be of long duration. On ac-
count of scarcity of orders factories at
Bradford and other textile centers of Eng
land have been forced to reduce their prod
uct. In one instance thirteen cotton spinning
concerns, with over a million spindles, sus
pended operations for two weeks to check
the oyerstocking of the markets with un-
Salabie goods. Doubt is expressed as to
whether this temporary suspension will APP
preciably relieve the situation. The dis
turbance in China is assigned as a partia.
cause of the manufacturing depression In
Great Britain. Reports of stagnatiou in
manufacturing industries. more especially
in the textile branches, are also received
from many parts of Germany RheniSh
Prussia and Saxony seem to be most al
fected. AS indicating in some degree the
extent to which the German textile indus
try has lost ground this year it is reported
that during the first six months OF 1850 the
imports of wool into Germany declined 20
per cent in quantity and II per cent in
value as compared with the corresponding
period of 1899. The loss in business has
been slightly mitigated by the receipt at
various Saxon textile factories OF large
orders for undertaking for German SOL
diers destined to China. The Chinese i'm
broglio is charged with but small share in
the causes of German industrial depression.
Consul Mahin says that the German tex
tile exports to the orient have been too
small for their utter extinction TO account
in any marked degree for the present con-
traction of business. The cause is general
ly assigned, he says. to the universally dis
couraging state of the textile markets, due
mainly to overproduction during the pros
porous season of 1899. The future looks
sufficiently dubious to deter any one from
venturing at present into large contracts of
any sort. A similar state of affairs is re-
ported in Polish Russia and in Austria, but
not to the same extent in the last-named
country. The consul says that considering
the unsettled state of government, 1t Is sur
prsing that trade conditions in Austria
should be even good as those of other
European countries at this time, instead OF
being rather better, as they apparently are.

Comm Is SiOners' Action Respecting
Restoration of Portraits.

In the matter of the restoration of the
portraits belonging to the District of CO.
lumbia in the District building and in the
CITY hall the Commissioners have rejected
all the bids received by them in response to
their advertised request, principally on the
ground that 1t was impracticable to give
out work of this kind on the basis of COM
petition. Even in the matter of skill, the
Commissioners found, it is stated, great
difficulty in coming to a conclusion and in
order to practically test the matter, they
gave one of the portraits to Mr. William II.
Duckstein, who has charge of the paintings
at the Capitol building and has had much
experience i'll such work; another to Miss
Guiilaum the drawing teacher of the
public schools in Georgetown, who had
many years of experience with her father
in restoring pictures. and another TO Mr.,
William Eeerhoff. The Commissioners hope
from an expert comparison of these pic
lures when finished, to be able to form
their judgment to the best methods TO be
used in restoring the other pictures and as
To the most competent persons to whom to
award the contract for the rest of the work.
There are still two of the smaller portraits
to be restored and the three large ones In

Colonel William S. Patten Of the quar-

arrested this morning by Sergeant S.attery
and locked up at No. police station TO
answer the charge of assaulting John Ben
nard with a knife Bernard was taken
to the Homeopathic Hospital, where the
opinion was expressed this afternoon that
he would recover.
1t is stated by the police authorities that
Wilson admits the charge. but claims he
did not attack Bernard until after the lat
ter had struck him twice in the face with
his fist.
Particulars of the affair are quite meager,
as neither of the men most directly inter-
ested will talk on the subject. Between II
and l o'clock this morning Officer Trussell
of the second precinct noticed the wounded
man sitting on Ith street near r street,
and as he seemed to be in distress the
officer spoke to him. Bernard informed
the officer that he had been cut in the side,
but declined to say who cut him. The
wounded man was at once removed to the
Homeopathic Hospital, where his injury
was attended to. At a later hour the au-
thorties were advised that Wilson was
Bennard's assailant, and. as above stated,
he was taken into custody.

Porto Ricans and naturalization.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Referring to my letter on the case of An
tonic Castro, the Porto Rican, kindly ad-
mitted to the columns of The Star of last
Friday evening, l have been asked how can
a citizen of Porto Rico or of the Philippines
become a citizen of the United States? Some
of the people of those islands may wish to
change their residence to this country and
become citizens. How can they do it? Let
me explain my view of it, 1t is absurd to
say they can be naturalized, like all for
eigners. because since the treaty of Paris
they have ceased to owe allegiance to Spain.
Porto Rico is not foreign state nor are
the Filipnos a foreign nation, but all are
subject to the sovereignty of the United
States which has displaced. that of Spain.
1t is therefore equally absurd to say that
they can forswear allegiance to the United
States. The truth is, it is a new and anom-
alous situation, but it is not difficult of
comprehension. Congress might exclude
these people entirely from our shores, just
as it has excluded the Chinese, on grounds
of public policy, and on the So me principle
that it can put tariff the productions
of the islands coming into the United
States. as 1t has DONE as L think, constitu-
tionally, on the products of Porto Rico. II
not excluded. ii will remain for Congress to
pass a general law by which the islanders,
on coming here, can become citizens of the
United States. There is nothing so terrible,
after all, or inconsistent with the theory of
our government, in holding subject depen-
denotes and peoples. Every foreigner in
this country, before he becomes naturalized
is subject that is to say, he owes SUBJ
mission and obedience to our laws, and is
amenable for violations of them in our
courts. r. HUTCHINSON.
