of Herr Thielen, the Prussian minister
of public works, of giving preference
to Russian petroleum as against Amer

GERMANY'S UNEMPLOYED,
Four Per Cent of Her Artisans Ar.
Out of Work.

Berlin, Dec. 4.-Oficial 'investiga-
tions, made by the municipal council,
as to the number of unemployed in the
various industries of Germany, reveal
q rather worse condition of affairs
than had already been intimated by
the German press.
These Investigations have resulted
in showing that 10000 men are EN-.
rloyed in the metal trades today, as
against 73,100 in these same trades in
the month of October, 1900. The work.
ing hour has been reduced in half OF
the factories The unemployed in the
largest towns amount to from Z to 10
per cent of their populations and the
aggregate of unemployed in Germany
reaches 100000 men, or per cent
OF the total number of artisans in the
country.

Indians and Railroads.

D. H. Robbins of Vineland was down
Monday, this being his first visit to
Princeton since the smallpox outbreak
at the lake. Mr.. Robbins was present
when the Indians were paid off last
week, and says each Indian received
as annuity the sum of 1925. The reg
ular annuity was little over 81, but
the cost of the new blankets and clothes
for the Indians was deducted from the
money due the Chippewas. He says it
was sight to see the cleansing OF the
Indians at the time the quarantine was
raised. They were all made to take
bath in a strong solution of carbolic
acid and water, and every vestige of
apparel, blankets, etc., was destroyed,
the Indians receiving in return new
outfit of clothing.
Mr.. Robbins says that there have
been parties at the lake from Little
Falls, representing the Little Falls
electric line the Westinghouse people
at Little Falls intend to construct to
the lake. They will develop 1900
horse power at Little Falls and cal
culate to run train of electric cars
from that place to the lake in an hour.
The route the company will use from
Little Falls to the lake will require
very little grading and but one small
cut will have to be made. The COM
pany will use seventy pound rails and
make the road standard guage. I'm a
conversation with Hon. A. F. Ferris
of Brainerd, who was at the lake re-
Gently, and who is one of the directors
of the Brainerd & Northern Railroad"
said Mr.. Robbins II was informed that
at the time the Brainerd & Northern
was absorbed by the Northern Pacific
that the latter road agreed to construct
line to the lake, and it may be that
some of these days we will get branch
from Brainerd.''
Referring to the matter of the re-
moval of the Indians from the Mile
Laos lake country, Mr.. Robbins said
that there was no question but what
the Indians would consent to go, pro-
vided that final treaty or compact
could be made with them whereby the
government would make final settle
mept in cash as recompense for all
the queer and mysterious pieces of
legislation that have been enacted in
relation to the Mile Laos Indians,
and provided that the government
would guarantee them tract of land
somewhere in the north where there
was woodland and lakes. "The Mile
Laos Indians,' said Mr.. Robbins, twill
never consent to go to White Earth
(which is a prairie country"
During the recent outbreak of small
pox Mr.. Robbins says that there were
seventeen Indians who died with the
disease. Of this number thirteen were
children. This was what the roll call
on pay day revealed.

! The UNION would suggest that it be
informed of coming nuptial events by
some friends or relatives of the con-
tracing parties. Remember that any

Der that the open record at the clerk OF
courts Office is not sufficient to enable
the reporter of this or any other paper
to find at all times the continued chap

absence of the desired information,
it is quite otter the case that news
papers will ''catch at straws," and in
doing so are apt to say things that
the expectant ones take exceptions to.
Remember that attaches of this paper
are not mind readers, clairvoyants or
hypnotists, nor are they possessed OF
any occult powers, and the best way to
get along with newspaper is to be
communicative and confidential. In
other words, don't be clam and then
expect to read history of the world in
each issue of the paper that comes out.

Pekin, Nov ga violent dispute
with M. Paul 1essar, Russian minister
to China. over the Manchurian treaty,
appears to have been the immediate
cause of the death Of Ii Hung Chang.
The diplomatic events preceding this
tragic climax have enabled Japan for
the moment to Illustrate the designs
of Russia. A fortnight ago the Japan
ese legation secured reliable outline
of the terms of the treaty and there
upon demanded that the Chinese plen-'
ipotentiary officially lay before them
the text, basing this demand upon the
allegation that Japan's interests were
involved in any change of the status
of Manchurla
The Chinese plenipotentiary refused
to comply with the, demand. There

their influence with the empress dow
ager against the treaty. In the mean
time the empress dowager instructed
Ii Hung Chang to communicate the
treaty. after certain notifications, to
the ministers of the powers, and II
they did not object, to sign the same.
Ii Hung Chang visited NJ. Lessar'
and explained to him the instructions
/ The Russian minister strongly OBJ
I jected to revealing the text of the

and a stormy interview ensued. Ii

Bartlett. Texas. November 9.-Henry
Mills, one of the best farmers here,
sold his farm yesterday. 1t contained
three hundred and thirty acres and the
price he received was 100000. Mr..
Mills has not yet decided what date
and whore he will go from here. He
has been thinking of going further
west and make investments there.
About twelve or fifteen families have
left here and gone west. They have
bought and rented lands there. Most
of them went to Jones county.
Great efforts are made to get free
rural delivery system established in
this vicinity, which would be a great
benefit for this thickly settled neigh
borhood.

Adairsvllle, Ca. November 9,--The
elimination of an old feud was reached
here today in duel upon the public
streets between William Paris and
Spence Smith. in which Smith met his
death. The men arc prominently con-
nected, and the killing is likely to be
followed by others in the near future.
Great excitement prevails in Adairs-

crowded streets and on account of the
prominence of the parties. The ex-
element is not unmixed with appre-
hension as to the outcome among the
feudists, as the death of Smith is GER

fifty leagues from the sea, near Dos

with the lost Tayapa. The Spanish
owners are said to have been muir

no one was allowed 20 enter that re-

REPORT or TEXAS.
NEW YORK DELEGATION HAS
COMPILED STATISTICS,
They Are Favorable to the Investment of
Eastern Capitai-- Resources OF the state,
Its Industries and Various Advantages
Are Viewed with Favor.

New York. November 9.-The Mail
and Express says: The delegation of
the Merchants association of New
York, which visited Texas last spring
in response to an official invitation
from the governor and legislature of
that State, have prepared their re-
port, and it is now in the hands of the
printer. 1t is expected that they will
be ready for distribution in 'two weeks.
The reports cover the agricultural and
mineral resources of the State, the
manufacturing industries, railroads.
labor, educational. climatic, soil and
sanitary conditions and banking facil-
tiles.
The trip of the delegation was first
suggested by Governor Sayers Of Texas
on the ground that it had been reported
that the people of his State were in
imical to Northern capital invested in
Texas Enterprises, and the facts in re-
gard to this will be one of the features
of the report. 1t is said that 1t will
be decidedly favorable and will give
many instances in which foreign CAPT
tai is now profitably employed.
Another section of the report will
cover the State laws in relation to cap
ital invested in various enterprises and
the rates of taxation. The report is
presented by the subcommittee, of
Councilman James B. Dill is chairman.
DR.. George A. Soper engineer and
chemist, who is an expert on such
matters, made the report on soil and
climatic conditions. 1t will be shown
by the data given that the general idea
of extreme heat during the summer
months is not entirely correct. In adj
dition to the Beaumont oil fields, there
will be an interesting report of the
other rich mineral resources of the
State.
The great extent of the lumber region
also forms the basis of report by an
other subcommittee. This will go into
the details of the different kinds of
| lumber found in Texas and the facil-
tiles for its shipment by raj and water.
| In the report on the banking inter-
ests the banking methods and their
facilities for answering the demands
of their customers will be gone into
with great detail.
The reports will be accompanied by
sectional maps showing the different
resources of the State. Altogether the
data given will form a pamphlet of
about 1876 pages.
