ANOTHER BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
Pennsylvania Gets Control of the
Lehfgh Valley.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says: The
Pennsylvania railroad has secured practical
control of the Lehigh Valley railroad by
the purchase of 66.6OO shares of stock.
The deal was completed through outside
parties in the same manner that control
ing interest was obtained in the Baltimore
and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Norfolk and Western.
The figure giver on the stock purchase is
$3.50 a share.
1t was stated early in April that the New
York Central and the Pennsylvania were
c,ose partners in an important railroad
transfer movement, and that the division
of the hard and soft coal territory in this
state and West Virginia was the object in
view.
To secure the Lehgh Valley has been the
aim CT the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania. and it is acknowledged to-
day that the Pennsylvania has obtained
practical control through the agents of w.
X. Vanderbilt and J. Pierpont Morgan.
The New York Central is said to be the
real power back of the movement, as. I'M
der the constitution of the state of Penn
sylvania, the Pennsylvania railroad cannot
absorb a competing parallel road.
Through the Pennsylvania. Schuylktll
Valley and Northern Central. the Sunbury
and HaZleton branches and the Nanticoke
branch the Pennsylvania completes in Le-
high Valley territory on direct terms.

OUR TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Enforcement of the Meat Inspection
Law May Cause Retaliation.

Vice Consul Murphy. at Magdeburs, has
transmitted to the State Department an eX-
tract from a German publication of recent
date. containing facts and figures which in
dictate strongly the prime Importance of
Germanys trade with the United States
The exports to the United States from the
consular districts in northern Germany
alone for the first quarter of 1890 amount
to SIS, 106 600 or at the rate of Sl3,3i,oo
for the year. The former amount is nearly
double the value of the exports during the
first quarter of 1888. This for northern Ger
many alone. When the amounts for the re-
mainder of the empire are added the total
will be estimated at about s142, S0oGD.
How many thousands of Germans now
dependent upon this trade for their sup
port" says the article, would be without
bread if 1t were to suddenly stop" In the
trade with the United States Germany has
to England in the matter of goods exported
to the United States last year In 1899 the
United States imported $40. 100000 worth of
sugar from Germany. The amount of Su-
gar in bygore years that has been sent from
Germany to the United States has varied
with the crops. in favorable years much
as $23, SDO,OO worth being exported to that
country. This immense trade in sugar, the
article states, will continue, provided peace
with the United States. But If the Ameri
cans are forced into retaliation by the strict
enforcement of the meat Inspection law
and friendly trade relations ruptured,
the expectation of German sugar to the
United States will come to stop. and Ger
many be left without purchaser for the
enormous mass of sugar produced"

Steady Increase in the Number of
Cases in the Island.

that there has been a steady increase in tho
number of cases of bubonic plague. There
Were thirty cases in Manila during January,
forty-eight during February and tifty-SiN

approximately 100 cases of leprosy were
discovered. Excellent work is being done
b. the Manila board of health. under the d-
rection of Major Ira Brown, in improving
the sanitary condition of the city and check
ing the progress Of the plague. From early
in January to the last of March. in the
densely populated districts of Binondo Tom
do, San Nicolas and Santa Cruz, 9.162 prem-
ises were examined and 1852 houses from
which suspected plague cases were re-
moved have been disinfected, in addition
to which all the houses in the infected dis
1ict We're thoroughly disnfected. The
work was conducted quietly and sys-
tematically that comparatively little oppose
ton was made by the residents.
