table concerning the area, population, i'm

WOOL MANUFACTURES.
Excellent Condition of the Business
at the Close Of the Year.

From the Wool and Cotton Reporter.
In the present situation of the goods
market nothing stands out more clearly
than the fact that the home market is
more thoroughly in possession of the home
manufacturer than Tor many years. This
applies alike to both mems wear and dress
goods lines. 1t is a happy condition of
affairs for the home manufacturer and one
from which he proposes to gain as much
as he possibly can. 1t was not long ago
that the mems wear market was invaded
TO a considerable extent by the product of
dress goods looms. 1t was a condition
brought about by the difficulty dress goods
manufacturers found in keeping their
chnery employed. Consequently, thousands
of yards of serge and similar goods were
turned out by dress goods looms to share
the market with the product Of the mems
wear looms The course Of the demand for
dress goods favored such novelties the
European manufacturer is such adept
at turning cut. The soft and rough faced
wooden fabrics did not meet with favor:
it was either worsteds or novelties that
were wanted. Now things have changed
and changed happily for the home manu-
faclurer of dress goods fabrics: the soft
wooden fabrics have come into favor again.
Goods of the order of the cheviot. the
homespun. and the Scotch plaid are today
getting the orders that formerly went to
worsted cloths and novelty and fancy crea-
tons from foreign looms.
Under the changed character of the de
mand and the largest volume of business
offering in many years, the dress goods
mills are full of work. IL il a very uncom-
mon thing today see dress goods
chnery weaving out goods for the mems
wear trade: there is enough work to be
had or their own lines rob dress goods
manufacturers of the necessity of doing
this. Thus the Improvement in the demand
for wool dress goods has helped 10 afford
relief to the mer's wear market. What is
more, mems wear manufacturers have been
quick to take advantage of the brisk de-
mand for rough faced wooden dress goods
and cloakings. and have in a number of in
stances diverted number of their own
looms to making these goods with results
satisfactory TO themselves and without sub
jecting the market to any apparent danger
of oyer-Droduction.
The prospects for continued popularity
of wool dress goods are bright The out
look for a big worsted mems wear season
is equally promising. while indica lions ia

ton of seventy-fixe millions of people re-

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
HIATTSVILLE, Md, January r. 1900.
Daniel O'Brien. a white man about thirty
years of age, presented a pitiable appear
ance at the home of John f. Bowles
colored man, of this village, last evening.
His feet and hands We're badly frozen, and
in this condition he was endeavoring to get
to his home in Baltimore from where, he
claims he ''shanghaied last Septem-
Der and placed aboard an oyster boat which
operated upon the Chesapeake bay and its
tributaries.
O'Brien told a sad tale of hardships and
privation After he became too sick for
work. he said, he was placed ashore near
Newport News, Va, and had beaten his
way on trains to this point.
A petition had been placed in circulation
in the village asking the town commission
ers, as is required by the town charter, to
call a public meeting Saturday, January
90. at the Masonic Hall. for the purpose of
placing before the citizens of the town the
question to the ACCESSIBILITY Of change
in the present form of local municipal gov
eminent, placing affairs in the hands of a
mayor and common council A large num-
Der of names are already on the petition.
The committee composed of seven citizens
of the town, which was recently appointed
to investigate and report on the probable
cost of an installation of water plant in the
village, will report at citizens meeting
to be held at the Masonic Hall Saturday.
January 20. 1t is proposed to bring before
the citizens of this meeting the dire neces
sity of fully equipped and well-reguated
fire department for the protection of the
town. At present the town is without a
well-regulated fire company, which would
be sadly felt if fire started in thickly
populated portion of the town.

which has been edited by Messrs Carr and
Pride was recently disposed of to Messrs.
Z. A. Fuller and George Mcfarland.

ENGLAND ON FLOUR SEIZURES.
Statement Given Out at the State De-
partment.

The following statement in regard to the
flour seizures was given out by the Secre-
tary of State last evening and fully cor
roborates the statements made in yester-
days Star:
"a telegram has been received from Am
bassador Choate reporting an Interview had
by him with the Marquis of Salisbury on
the afternoon Of the 10th instant in regard
to the American shipments of -four and
provisions on the detained British steamers
Beatrice and Mashona and the Dutch
steamer Maria. The British position as to
foodstuffs and hostile destination is that
they can only be considered contraband of
war If supplied for the enemy's forces, it
not being sufficient that they are capable
of being so USED. but it must be shown that
this was their destination at the time of
seizure. This qualification virtually con-
cedes the American contention that the
goods We're not subject to seizure and prac-
tically disavows the seizure, it not being
claimed that there is any evidence of hos
tile destination
