zens of organizing country club with
the view of leasing the Edwards park
which lies in the heart of the noun
tains on the left fork Of the Gallinas

there is strong impression in the
best informed military circles that

who are besieging Wepener. Columns
are admitted to be in motion from
Aliwal North and from Reddersburg
for the relief of the garrison at Wep-
ener, but 1t is suspected that there
are other columns operating further
north which has not been mentioned
by Roberts, and that under the pre-
tense of cutting off the retreat of the
Boer raiders he has entered upon a
great turning movement which will
render the enemy's position north of
Bloemfontein untenable. The rigor
with which the censorship is enforced
seems to corroborate this theory.

American Goods In Russia.
rom the Scien,iic American.

From the Scientific American.
American goods and specially Amert T.
can manufactured articles are making
rapid gains in popularity in Ru sia.
This Is shown by the increased total OF
our exports to that country, and also by
the warnings which the consular rep
resentatives of other nations in Russia
are sending to their home governments
respecting the popularity OF American
goods and the success Of the American
merchants In their business methods.
The British consul at Kietf reports that
while Germany is talked about as Great
Britain s greatest rival in the markets
of the world, there does not seem to be
the same attention paid to the rapidly
developing competition of America, and
gives many instances, citing the agri
cultural machinery trade, which is
practically controlled by Americans;
also steam pumps and machine tools.
The British consul at Odessa says that
bicycles of English make are held in
high esteem, but they are distanced by
American machines ~ they are supplied
40 per cent. cheaper than those Of the
English make, and consequently under,
sell them, In 1898 exports from the
United States to Russia amounted tO
81, ,441 Ala, according to tue reports OF
the Treasury Bureau Of Statistics and in
1899 the value Of the exports was SlO,'
