the United States is Mr.. Mason, who is
highly praised for his work in this
direction. English people often ask,
and rightly, why Germans are put in
charge Of the English consulates in
Germany. However conscientious and
hardworking they may be, Germans
cannot be expected to show the same
amount of interest and keenness in
the furtherance Of British commerce
in Germany as Englishmen. It is
about time England copied America in
these matters.

the police that Mr.. Carter still is alive
If he had killed himself or been killed
his body would have been found. Had
he drowned himself his body would have
been recovered, as the body Of persons
who drown in the Christiana river are
invariably found in these waters, and

lars in Wages

Union and non-uninn seamen are
IN commencing the action
of Judge Bradford I'm deciding the
Chambers suit for wages against the
British ship Kcster. in favor of the
sailor and virtually reversing a recent
decision made by Judge Mcpherson, in
Philadelphia.
The case in point IS that Of william
Chambers against the British steam
ship Kcster. The former, British
subieo, shipped ON the Kester in Sep
tembcr, 1899, as q fireman. Part of his
wages OF $50 Per month was paid to an
agent I'm Baltimore for shipping him,
and Chambers Signed a contract TO
work the first thirty days for a shilling
and the remainder of the time for $50
a mouth. When he was discharged he
demanded $50 for every month he was
ia abe Kester's service. This was re-
fused on account of the contract.
Judge Bradford held that Chambers
was entitled under the law TO the fun
amount.
The seamen's Union. of Philade,-
phia. and other societies interested in
the welfare of sailors We're pleased
with the outcome Of the case. 10 Is
declared That the business OF sailors
agents and boarding house runners
has been responsible for many abuses
during The past few years. and the
.unlucky tar arriving in any large pori
on the Atlantic seaboard. has become
virtually the prey OF land sharks.
According 10 stories told OF the
runners they keep watch on an I'M

JUDGES OUTLAW
SWIMMER BURNS
Had Electric Propeller on His
Back and Lost the
Race

There is a colony Of Wilmington cot
tage dwellers now in Pennsgroye and
they form a jolly crowd. Among those
who are spending the summer there are
William T. Clayton. assistant tax coli
lector for the Northern district. Former
Representative Robert Burns. William
Lackey, ]. " Harbert and Frank ii.
Mason. They have sports Of all kinds.
and last evening they had an exciting
swimming race in which Mr.. Burns
showed his want-to-win proclivities. Al
though he was scantily clad he had a
trick up his sleeve that was a winner
and a surprise, but the judges decided
against him.
The contestants in the race were Clay
ton. Lackey and Burns. 1t was hun
dred yards course. Clayton had the
middle course, Lackey the inshore course
and Burns TO the channel course.
Clayton held the lead from the start
until within few feet Of the wire. when
Mr.. Burns began 10 operate a small elec-
trio propeller wheel which he had secret
ly fastened TO his back, and which was
operated by a small storage battery, and
simply flew through the water, beating
Clayton by a length. There was a cry
of foul and the swimmers surrounded
the judges, creating a regular pande-
mOnium.
After due deliberation Messrs. Mason
and Harbert, judges, decided that as it
was understood that the motive power
was 10 be muscular instead of electric,
Mr.. Clayton was awarded the race, Mr..
Lackey was second and Mr.. Burns third.

While entering this port yesterday

Mate Francois Joaquin. his face swol-

arms wrapped in bandages OF soothing

measures employed to wage war on the
Insects. He Is the most severely bitten
member Of the crew. although Seaman
Ariaud runs him a close second.
The VILE de Dieppe, from Dieppe. in

when she neared the Jersey coast last
Monday afternoon. Suddenly myriads
.ot rayenous mosquitoes descended On
.the bark. In "a short time the seamen
were nearly driven frantic by Che

a second cloud OF Insects was OBJ
served heading for the vessel on the
port bow, and it was imperative that
some scheme should be used TO repel
them. Captain Nevine Immediately or
uered a tar barrel to be burned for
ward.and hastily spread bales of wrap-
ping paper, covered with pitch. over
the deckhouse. These measures proved
unsuccessful. and the bark soon be-
came literally alive with the pest.
Then Mate Joaquin bethought himself
OF an eXpedient which proved success.

We're sprayed over the sails and the en-
tire superstructure was deluged with
petroleum. The smell of the OF, ming

barrel became too much for the mo-

was required TO exterminate those on
board and the succeeding swarm
which followed an hour later veered Off
in another direction.

As a consequence of the awarding of

Other merchants say that while they
would like 90 see the bidding restricted.
they cannot expect it. as the object of the

supplies as cheap as possible but they do
expect that the amount of each firms bid
be published.

UP GOES TINWARE'S FRICE
Strike Among Steel Workers the
Cause OF the Increase

The great body of consumers Of tin
and enamel goods was to-day made to
feel the first direct effects of the big
steels trike now on in all mills Of the
Steel Trust by an advance of 10 per
cent in the price of all articles made
of tin and enamel. The increase, OF
course, is due to the falling off in the
supply of those articles. the demand
remaining practically the same, which
limitation to the supply is caused by
the stoppage OF work by the employees
now on strike. From the tinplate are
made household utensils of various
kinds. particularly for the kitchen, as
well as useful articles for Office and
store and warerOOm. The increase in
price strikes at the root OF household
economy. In fact, as one dealer said
yesterday, an increase in the price Of
no other class OF manufactured goods
could have brought home to the great
body Of the American people the fact
that a strike is on and that they would
be expected to pay for it,
