CONSUL MAsoN,s STATEMENTS.

The statements of Mr.. Mason, our con-
sci general at Berlin, contained in a report
to the state department relative to the
feeling of hostility in Germany towards
this country, on account of the restTictive
effect which our tariff has upon German
exports to this country, the severe compe-
tition which German merchants and man
ufacturers have TO endure from American
merchants and manufacturers, not only in
South America, Africa and Asia, but, in
some lines of manufactured articles, even
in the markets of Germany, are very inter
esting, and indicate that there may be
some ground for the statement made by
Mr. Root, the Secretary of War, recently.
that the time might not be distant when
this country would have to fight for the
Monroe doctrine.
Since Mr.. Root made his speech an In
quiry has been made into what Germany
is doing in Brazil. A Washington CORE
spondent of Leslie's Weekly Gays that the
territory Tin Brazil, now inhabited exclu-
sively by Germans, is larger than all Ger
many ITSELF and that maps of that sec
ton entitled Antarctic Germany" has
been printed for the purpose of pleasing
the German people. For years past"
says this correspondent silently and
steadily a current of German emigration
has been pouring into the three Southern
states of Brazil, namely, Rio Grande do
SSll, Perana and Santa Catharina, and the
newspapers of Rio Janeiro are commenting
with some bitterness on the recent visits
to these states of the German minister to
Brazil and the German consuls.'
| 1t seems that Germany has in recent
years invested an almost fabulous amount
of money in these three states, and has
encouraged emigration to them. Her ex-
pectatlon is of course to get back big
return on her investments. II will be in
the shape of trade. 1t Is also said that
our government has received informa ton
that in one of the South American states
German emissaries have endeavored to
| arouse a feeling against the United States
and the Monroe doctrine.
1t may be that Secretary Roots speech
was not so sensational as it was thought
to be by the public generally at the time
it was made. II is undoubtedly a fact that
Germany is making extraordinary efforts
to extend her trade, and her strongest OPP
position comes from this country. 1t
would be only natural, therefore, for her
to want to weaken this rival wherever she
could.
1t is true that German officials close to
the Emperor have denied that Germany
has any designs on the territory of Brazil,
or any other South or Central American
state, but the policies of nations are liable
to be changed quite suddenly. While there
many not be any reason at present for APP
pretending trouble with Germany on ac-
count of the Monroe doctrine, 1t would be
the part of wisdom for our government to
keep informed in respect to the develop
ment of German interests In Brazil and
other South American states.

Mr.. Richard Croker has at his home In
England two bulldogs, valued at 5000
and $1,000, respectively The other day
the $1,000 beast became angered with his
$1,000 neighbor, and started in to chew
several hundred dollars worth Of his ear
off. The lower-priced fellow, however,
was as good game as the other and ac-
cepted the challenge eagerly, no doubt
being in a frame of mind 10 make that
5000 dog look like thirty cents in just
about three shakes Of a lambs tail
Luckily for Mr. Croker however. the
man who is hired by him to look out for
the wants of his dogs, separated the
would-be combatants before either had got
a good hold upon his antagonist, so no
damage was done. The story of the UNI
fought dog fight was copyrighted and ca
bled to New York, where IL was given
a prominent place among the news of the
day by one of the great newspapers. The
incident illustrates how much New York
is interested in anything Richard Crokers
name is connected with.

Not long ago Sir William Vernon Har-
court dined on an English man of war, and
a storm coming up the Captain, who was
a very small man, persuaded him to oc-
cupy the stateroom for the night. The
steward was not notified of the arrange
ment, and the following morning at 6
O'Clock he brought a cup of coffee to the
Captains door. Knocking twice without
receiving a reply was most unusual. so he
hastily pushed open the dor and inquired :
Don't you wish your coffee this morning
sir?" Sir William gave a snore, and the
steward was amazed TO see huge figure
turn over under the bedclothes. Smash
went the cup and saucer and the frighten-
ed sailor tore off to the surgeons office

The actual cost of that little govern
ment railroad in Cuba was $4,000 per
mile The former superintendent of con-
struction of II is quoted as saying it can
be built for $4,000 per mile. The gov
eminent has put s342, Gil into building and
equipping the ten miles of road. If 1t
can be built for $4,000 per mile, then 1t
would appear that there had been either
great deal of extravaganza or a big
"rake-off" in connection with the road.
Harrington, the superintendent, said
he knew big scandal would result from
an investigation. There can be little
doubt that an investigation will be made,
and the people who built the road will
be given an opportunity to explain.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal Oem)
says '"The Governor of Montana is very
busy Just now instructing the United
States Senate upon its duty to keep Clark
out Of that body. If the Governor Of Mon
tana had been anything like as busy at
tending to his official duties, instead of
practicing law outside his state, there
would have been no occasion for his pres
ent excitement over the appointment of
Clark by the lieutenant governor"
The Chicago Chronicle Dem) says:
1.-The Prince of Wales will not visit the
Paris Exposition because the French gov
eminent will not become responsible for
his safety. With his recent Brussels ex-
perience in mind, 1t is apparent that AL
bert Edward must forego his customary
holiday jaunts to the continent. This is
Ireland's opportunity to prove again that
members of the British royal family are
safer in the Emerald Isle than anywhere
else"
The Indianapolis Sentinel Dem.) says:
1.-The Demo cratic party owes no debt of
gratitude to the trust element. Being
fundamentally opposed to the principles
which prompt their development. the
party of Jefferson has always been their
most persistent enemy. AS a matter of
fact, the special privileges which have
nourished them have been the fruit of
Republican legislation. And the great
measures to curb and reform them have
been the creations Of Democratic states
manship."

Gaynor of the Supreme Court of New York
has decided that chickens must not cack-
lie, and that a clucking hen is nuisance.
to be dealt with according to the forms
of law duly prescribed for the suppress
ion of her nuisances The decision may
be wise aud strictly legal. but the task of
enforcing that decision would prove too
vast for all the policemen, constables and
sherinfs in the land. Cackllng is hens
privilege. ana when the last lawbook Of
New York has crumbled into dust some
hen, laying her eggs in a nest lined with
the paper of the ancient tome, will cluck
loudly in derision."

against recovering anything except pos

A Chicago doctor advises that the peo-
pie Of every city begin Immediately a
war Of determination against rats, in
view of the appearance of the bubonic
plague at San Francisco. Rats are said
20 be one of the most usual channels by
which the germs of the plague are dis
tributed, hence to get rid OF the rats
would be a preventive measure of great
worth. 1t would be too late to wait until
the disease had made its appearance be-
fore starting in to kill the rats, as a
dead rat with the disease germ in its
body is quite as dangerous as a live one.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the
plague is a warm weather disease. 1t
seems. indeed, to thrive best in cold and
damp weather. The summer, therefore,
is the time to take precautions against it.

While some influential persons and news
papers are advocating the abolition OF the
death penalty, other equally influential
persons and newspapers are in favor not
only of retaining that penalty, but OF max
ing longer the list of crimes punishable
with death. For instance the Washington
Star, the Cleveland Leader and one or two
Illinois papers hold that burglary should
be included in the list of capital offenses.
The s.st of their argument is that burg
larry is carefully planned. in cold blood,
and that when burglar enters a dwell
ing he goes prepared TO kill should he be
discovered in the commission Of the less
er offense He is, therefore, murderer
at heart and desperate criminal in intent
and purpose, and being such ought to re-
ceive the murderer's punishment But, If
the death sentence fails to act as de-
terrent of murder and crimes against
women, is 1t likely that it would be de-
terrent Of burglary2

SEC. LONGS ANNUAL REPORT.
for the Increase OF
the Navy.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The annual re-
port Of Secretary of the Navy Long was
given out for publication tonight. The
report opens by giving an account of
the operations of the navy in the east
and of work of the marines ashore. 1t
then takes up the various matters of
interest in the navy Regarding new
vessels it says:
THE department is of opinion that
congress at its coming session should
be asked for only two battleships and
two armored cruisers, all of the maxi
mum displacement specified; that at
least six light-draft gunboats and some
small craft for river service are espe-
cially desirable in connection with our
insular service, and that the Golfers,
training ships, transport and repair ship
are the necessary accompaniment of the
general recent increase of the navy,
both in it's fighting force and in the en-
large range of it's operations. The de-
partment therefore makes it's recon-
mendati tion in accordance with this opiK-
ion."
