on his way to Paris. He is hopeful Of sup

before proceeding to Paris

gested. 1 am not quite sure how long the

sonal idea is that American mine owners
are apt to find better market in the Med

country where England herself will be a

iieve the United States can supply Eng

nearly 5000, 600. and this surplus would
have been exceeded in the month just gone
but for extraordinary civil and miscellan-
eous expenditures on account of the taking
of the twelfth census; the redemption of
Porto Rican coins and the payment of Ha-

in the war and navy expenditures.

MIR. THOMAS WAS MISQUOTED.
He Condemned Instead of FavOrfng
the Jewett Movement.

BOSTON, September 1T. H. Thomas of
Galveston, Tex, delegate to the recent
national convention of negro business men.
in this city, has received word that the
publication of certain quotations from his
address before the convention has caused
misunderstanding and very severe criticism
at his home. The dispatch covering mis-
speech gave the impression that he was in
favor of the Jewett movement.
On the other hand, Mr.. Thomas spoke
strongly against the Jewett League, and
said that 1t was unwise for negro business
men or those who had the best interests ot
their people at heart, to be Identified in any
way with any such movement as that with
which Miss Jewett is associated.

personal liberty.
The Castine arrived at Annoy this morn
ing She started from Shanghai on the 2Sth
ultimo for that port, in answer to the ap-
peal of Consul johnson to safeguard Amer
lean interests. The voluntary action of the
Japanese officials in withdrawing their
forces from Annoy has undoubtedly relieved
the international situation, but that very
withdrawal may necessitate the retention of
the Castine at Annoy for some time to pre-
vent rioting by the Chinese.
The Navy Department has given no in
structions to Commander Wilde of the Or
egon relative to the destination of his big
ship. since Secretary Longs cablegram of
two months ago, authorizing him to take
up his interrupted voyage to Taku. 1t Is
said at the department that this project
however. is not likely to be carried out, but
that the Oregon will be assigned to post
by the commander-in-chief of the station,
Admiral Remey, and in all likelihood that
post will not be Taku. Owing to her draft
the Oregon would be required to lie about
fourteen miles off shore at that place on
poor anchorage, not desirable position for
low freeboard battle ship. 1t is believed
that the big ship will probably go to Shan
ghai. or, rather, that she will be sent to the
mouth of the Yangtse to carry out the en-
gagement of the United States to contribute
toward the protection of the transport SER
vice.
No messages were received from Minister

ALCOHOL LOCOMOBILE PLOw.
1T II Claimed That 1t Can he Run for
Less Than Steam.

Consul General Guenther writes to the
State Department regarding an exhibition
of the newly invented alcohol plow locomo-
biles by motor factory of Oberursel, near
Frankfort, in the presence of number of
experts.
1.-The plow locomobie' says Consul
Guenther, ''is a twenty horse power one,
and confidence is expressed by competent
judges that coal can in some cases be SUBJ
stituted by alcohol, which can be procured
everywhere and at a low cost. The alcohol
plow is said to have performed its work
fully as We'll a steam plow, operated
simultaneously. The problem of using al
cohol for power purposes has been solved
by the motor factory in evaporating de-
naturalized alcohol of 80 degrees. The con-
structlon and operation of the motor is,
after this Justification, the same as that Of
gas motor. The machine uses about q
pint of alcohol an hour for one horse pow
er 1t is claimed that the operating ex-
pense Is % per cent lower than that Of
steam DloWs."
