ernor's Island. This company for year
has been at Fort Mcpherson. Ga. The
companies will go into camp at the Pre-
sidto in San Francisco preparatory to
shipping for the Philippines or China, as
may be determined by the war depart
ment.
The departure of the companies of the
Ffteenth regiment will leave General
Brooks with but a small garrison at Gov
ernor's Island until the arrival Of the
army corps now in Cuba. The island,
which is the official headquarters of the
department Of the east, will for the pres
ent be garrisoned by companies OF the
Fifth artillery, now stationed around the
harbor. Army officials in this city, par
ticularly those attached to the quarter
masters department, are very busy
looking after the troops ordered home
from Cuba. The belief Is general that
the commands will not long be permitted
, to enjoy the comforts of their home sta
tions, but after brief period they will
be sent to the east via San Francisco.
Company E of the battalion OF engi-
neers two officers and 100 men stationed
at this point, is under orders to proceed
to the east The detachment Will get
away tomorrow. More troops are ex-
pected this week from Cuba. The trans
port Rawlins is now on it's way with part
of the Fifth infantry, which will go to
Fort Sheridan, near Chicago. Two bat

next month part of the Eleventh infan-
try will leave Cuba. A squadron of the
Fifth cavalry has also been ordered from
Y Cuba to Fort Myer, Wash. These are
all seasoned troops and 1t is expected
that they will be able to give good ac-
count of themselves If It becomes neces-
sary for them 70 60 to China Army Of
ficers stationed around New York are
inclined to the belief that most of the
troops now under orders to go to San
Francisco will be landed on Chinese soil.
/ Army officers say that the Chinese
troubles and the prospects of United
States troops seeing service in that
country have given great impetus to
recruiting in this city. Nearly all the
regiments in the service are below their
quotas and the officers in charge Of the
recruiting stations have received orders
to redouble their efforts to secure men
for the regiments now in the field. Most
of the applicants, many Of them veter-
ans Of the Spanish war, want to be as
signed to regiments under orders or likely
to receive orders to go to Asia. No DIFF
Rculty is anticipated by those In army

OUR FOREIGN LETTER
Dealing with Commercial and In
dustriaI Conditions Abroad.
4 Craze Crisis hreate All of Eu-
FOpe-Advantages offered by the
Commercial Union of Bel
guim-Other Items.

The wave of industrial prosperity
In Europe, which has steadily risen
since 1895. has taxi
en- a turn and be-
gun to recede. All
signs point toward a crisis in ndus-
trial and financial lines which may oc-
cur before two years have passed.
Any political disturbance of note may
bring on the crisis suddenly and with
out warning. Coal mining is still
blooming" as the supply is not equal
to the demand. The iron and steel
works, including the manufacture of
many lines of machinery and steel
plates for wal ships, have orders
which it will take some months to fill,
but factories making small ironware,
nails, needles, bicycles, sewing ma
chimes, ETC.. are curtailing production
and reducing working forces and
wage scales.
There are doubts if the immensely
capitalized electrical works of Ger
many and other countries a keep
fully employed after present contracts
are filed. This line of industry, which
in Germany alone represents an in
vestment of nearly $500, 900 900, has
been largely instrumental in creating
the present boom.
Failures nave already begun in the
building trade, which in the large
cities has been of a speculative nature
and rested mainly on borrowed cap
ital. Rents for business houses and
dwellings, have advanced, but will top
pie upon the first beginning of a bust
ness crisis.
Shipowners are still jubilant, owing
to the phenomenal advance in ocean
transportation rates, which was
brought about by the South African
war and the present troubles in China.
The German papers speak in alarm
ing tones of the sad position of the
textile industry, where stoppages of
factories are the order of the day.
Late statistics of the Gera district
show 6,022 looms idle cut of a total of
1889. The weavers still employed
there earn but $3.50 to $2.3S per week.
This wretched wage. which is to sup
port a family, is next to a starvation
rate, especially as fuel and provisions
have greatly advanced in price, and
the poor operative must pay govern
ment tax and school rate besides.
The stock market is the delicate
seismometer which denotes the COM
ing %upheaval. Shares of industrial
companies have already commenced
to decline, though the reports of their
operations promise for this year large
dividends. The high interest rates
which have ruled for money this year
and the high taxes which capitalists
and business interests must pay in
Germany have also tended to affect
the boom.

A Cargo.

From the time we first got on board
the SLAYER had we heard means, cries
and rumblings coming from below,
and as soon as the captain and crew
were removed, the matches had been
taken off, when there arose a hot
blast as from a charnel house, sick
ening and overpowering. In the hold
were 300 human beings, gasping,
struggling for breath, dying; their
bodies, limbs, faces, all expressing ter
rible suffering. In their agoniZing
fight for life. some had TORN or
wounded themselves or their neigh
bors dreadfully; some were stiffened
in the most unnatural positions. AS
soon as I knew the condition of things
l sent the boat back for the doctor
and some whisky. He returned bring
ing also the captain, and for an hour
or more we were all hard at work
lifting and helping the poor creatures
on deck, where they were laid out in
rows. A little water and stimulant
revived most of them; some. however,
were dead OF too far n to be re-
suscitated. The doctor worked earn
estly over each one, but II were be-
yond human skill. AS fast as he pro-
noanced them dead they were quickly
dropped overboard.-J. Taylor Wood.

ways" replied Ullmark, who did not
seem to realize that he had done any
thing wonderful.
That's right" put in Yorker. "He
got a 6A-pound bass out there in the
middle of the lake with a hundred
feet of water under the canoe. I got
two four-pound bass there myself in
a short time, but did not think it worth
while to bring them in after Ullmark's
catch. 1 have seen the luck of a green
fisherman before, and went with him
to enjoy the fun. Ihave had nv share
of it."

NoiseIess Powder the Latest.

The success of smokeless powder in
modern warfare has been such as to
prompt a nan of an inventive turn OF
mind to manufacture a powder which
is said to be also noiseless. It is the
invention of a German workman who
studied the chemistry of explosives in
this country. He has already given a
private exhibition of the practicable
ty OF his discovery with considerable
success. A shell loaded with his pow
der was fired at a target so yards away
and the only sound indicating the ex-
plosion was the falling of the plunger
of the shell. Bohnengal. which is the
name of the inventor, has not, it is
said. yet sold the secret of the process.
but is still in treaty with different gov
ernments for its purchase.-Chicago
