WARNING TO GERMANY.
WILL NOT QUARREL UNTIL HER
FLEET IS LARGER.
Will Try to Block Diplomatically All
Plens to Strengthen the Posi-
ton of America.

New York, May 14.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
1t is the belief of we'll informed de-
partment officials that Germany will
heed the warnings given her by Secre-
tary Root and Senator Lodge by more
strongly urging the passage of the Dill
providing for the increase of The navy de-
sired by the German emperor
1t is thoroughly appreciated that Ger
many is not now ready to take any ac-
ton which will involve her in war with
the United States and the administration
does not expect trouble bcfors the Ge.'-
man fleet has been very largely increas-
ed.
expects Germany to try to bi TX. dip'o-
matically, every plan which Elay
strengthen the position OF the United
States as in the case Of ;he Danish West
Indies, but it is no supposed for mo-
ment that she will 2, 10 the extent Of
hostilities. It is thought to be her policy
to continue the colonization Of Central
and South America to Gat 4 Prepunder-
ant German influence in those states so
that, in case of war with the United
States these German communities might
have an important bearing upon the de.
gree of neutrality the southern republics
would enforce.
The German embassy, in line with the
policy of the state department is ninim-
zing the report that Germany contem-
the Monroe doctrine. The German en-
bassador declined today to discuss SEN
ator Lodges speech, but it is known that
he is very much concerned about the sem
ator's declaration, following those made
by Secretary Root.
Embassy officials say there are too
many Germans in the Fatherland: that
they must emigrate somewhere, and that
they have selected Central and South
America and Asia Minor because they are
undeveloped places in which immigrants
may live without restrictions.
AS an indication that Germans in Bra
zil are not pressing their trade with the
Fatherland, mention is called to an ar
ticle published by Hamburg journal re-
garding the outlook of Hamburg's export
trade to Brazil. From 111.O00,OO0 marks
in 1895, the exports declined to 8S, ,000, ,OG0
in 1896: 10000, 900 in 1897 and $4,000, 900 in
1898, and it is assumed that the official
statistics will show further decline in
1899.
While Germany is not increasing her
trade with Brazil she is undoubtedly inn
proving that with Central America. Ger
many comes first in the Guatemala trade
and the United States second. Germanyss
place in this commerce is due on the one
hand to regular steamship line co.,

was used in one of the lower courts
Instructions The court holds that the
use of the word the" instead of "a in
instruction No. 3, that the plaintiffs
negligence was not the proXimate
cause of the injury, instead Of "a" proX-
innate cause. constitutes a reversible
error In commenting upon the hair
splitting cause of the reversal, the court
says:
1T is regrettable that this case must
be reversed upon ground apparently
SO technical. Our only course, however,
is to declare the law as we find it, with
out regard to any hardship. That may
result in this particular instance.
Judge Hunt in dissenting from this
doctrine, says it involves too technical
a construction of the language embraced
in the instruction.
Il do not approve of it, he says, yet
cannot think it's fault was calculated
to mislead or did mislead. / think the
judgment would be affirmed"
The Wasu Judgment including inter-
est, is understood to have been worth
nearly $4,000.
The court affirmed the district court of
Deer Lodge county in two appeals in
which the A. NJ. Hotter Hardware COM
pany is plaintiff and the Ontario Mining
company. which failed a few years ago,
is defendant. involving questions of ma
terial mans liens.

lantry in the final onset. The town was
formally surrendered by the landrost al
ter the Transvaal burghers had removed
the bulk of their own stores, blown up d
bridge, wrecked the railway station and
done other damage. There We're groups
of British sympathiZers in the streets
when General Roberts entered the town
at the head of his troops and the scenes
enacted at Bloemfontein under similar
conditions We're repeated. The troops
halted yesterday after their long march,

miles apart at ths outset having been
massed at Kroonstadt. This town Will
now be converted into an advanced base
of supplies for operations in the Trans
Vaal.
While General Botha with the Trans
vaal burghers has retired to the Naat

of the Free State army is making feeble
stand in the northeastern corner. He'll

but Lindley, on the Vaalsch river. north
of Ficksburg, is held by a small Dutch
force as a temporary capital with Beth

Oliviers commandos have been operat-
ing against Rundles division from Me-
quatling's Mex from which the line of
retreat leads through Ficksburg to Beth

ed Saturday that the Beers We're moving
North. What remains of the Free State
force could be easily dispersed if General
Hildyard's division We're sent from Natal
over the mountain to Harrismith, but
Rundles division, with cavalry, seems en-
tirely competent to deal with it without
assistance.

and the scattered Free State comman-
does on the eastern flank. TIE will make
a fresh start for the Vaal after brief
halt and carry the bulk of his army into
the Transvaal, leaving Steyn's burghers
at liberty to retain control of a small
section of the country around Bethle-
| hem where they will gradually disperst

MOB TOOK POSSESSION.
Objected to School House Being Used
for a Pest House.

Pittsburg. May ia mob of 1000 men
and boys had possession of Turtle Creek,
a small town eight miles east of here, all
the evening and at midnight the sheriff
was called to aid the local officials. The
trouble was precipitated by the board os
health trying to take possession of an
abandoned school building in the town
for pest house. The citizens object to
this and when the board made prepara-
tiOn to remove six cases of smallpox to
the building they We're prevented by the
mob. Special officers sworn in could do
nothing and the volunteer fire depart
ment succeeded in dispensing the rioters
by turning the hose on them. The crowd
soon returned, and, cutting the hose,
pelted the tiremen with stones and beat
them with clubs until the officers re-
treated. A number of the firemen We're
badly cut and bruised. They then sur
rounded the school house in which three
OF the members of the health board had
sought refuge and barricaded Them
selves.
The sheriff and possee arrived at 80

Helena. May 14.-F. L. Mcbride applied
to the supreme court today for a man
damus to compel Judge Clancy to hear
motion to dissolve the injunc ton recent
ly issued by that couls restraining the
owners of the Silver King mine in Butte
from following their lead from it's apex
to its conclusion in the Plymouth ground.
He made some rather sensational allie
cations about the injunction having been
secured for the purpose of permitting the
Plymouth people to fill up drifts, levels
and raises of the Silver King people, and
even to mile ore. Also that the injunc-
ton was an abuse Of a process of court.
Judge Clancy last Monday refused to
hear a motion to dissolve the injunction.
Mr. Mcbride also asked the court 10 stay
the order of Judge Clancy granting ttn
injunction of April rs restraining the Sill
yer King from working west of a certain
Injunction line. Both applications We're
taken under advisement.
Four decisions We're announced, one
an appeal from Silver Bow county. The
court again reverses the district court Of
Silver Bow county in the case OF Peter
Wastl against the Montana Union Rail
company. Wastl got Judgment once for
S., 600 for the loss of part of his hand in
April 1889, while throwing a switch, al

house. The higher court reversed
the case. Then Wastl secured Judgment

HARVEY PATENT STORY.
CHANDLER EXPLAINS WHY HE
SAID TT WAS FRAUD
How the Claim for Patent Was Turned
Down and a Monopoly Finally
Created.

New York, May IA special to the
World from Washington says: Senator
Chandler was asked for further eXplana-
ton of his charges in the senate that
the Harvey armor plate patent is fraud
and that Krupp armor is without su-
perior merit. He gave the story of the
Harvey patent as follows:
"Mr Harvey, nine years ago, offered
some especially hardened tool steel to
Captain Folger then ordnance officer
of the navy, who suggested that he eX-
pertinent in applying the hardening pro-
cess to armor
"All that Mr.. Harvey did at his own
expense was to get little plate three
feet square and four inches thick and
he brought it in contact with charcoal
fire at Newark N. J. He submitted the
result to Commander Folger, who there
upon. at the expense of the navy depart
ment, went on with the experiment.
! "He ordered from the Creusot works
plate 6 feet by feet by lO13 inches.
and down here at the navy yard he
went on and super -carboniZed the plate,
Mr.. Harvey being present and giving in
structons.
''Then Mr.. Harvey applied for a pat
ent. This was in April. 1891. The claim
! was disallowed. 1t was after that re-
peatedly disallowed Eugene A. Byrnes,
/ the examiner. rejected it. A second re-
lection was made on June II, 1891, and on
June 20, 1891, Secretary Tracy wrote a
+ letter to the patent Office asking to have
! the Harvey patent expedited That eX-
! petition took place, and at last the two
! examiners in chief, II. l.. Il. Clarke and
! S. w. Stocking, on appeal from the pri-
mary examiner allowed the patent,
which was issued on September 30, 1891.
$50 the monopoly had been created.
Any one can judge whether it was cre-
ated by Mr.. Harvey or Commander Fol-
ger Among the reasons given by the
patent Office for rejecting the patent was
the assertion that there is no invention
adding to the carbonizing process dis
! closed by Harvey and Mcdonald, the
| well-known step of hardening by chilling
employed by Sperry and Howell.
Taking up the subject of krupp
armor, Mr.. Chandler said that congress
fixed the maximum price for armor at
5000, and the combined companies of the
world found it necessary to resort to
some new methods of making the plate
in ordea. to avoid coming down in the
price of their products.
| "The companies then invented this
new Krupp armor,' added the senator,
(which is nothing in the world but an
! armor into the face of which carbon is
driven two or three times as far is it
! is into the face of Harvey armor. The

t ing about. The so-called secret is no
