Officials Preserve Silence.
NEW YORK. July 29-The officials of
the steel companies now here preserve
silence to the conference of Saturday
between the leaders either side of the
strike and the possibility of a settlement.
1t is believed. however, that the terms of
peace outlined on Saturday will be ratified
by the executive board Of the Amalga-
mated Association on Tuesday, and that
there will be an early resumption OF work.
Both sides are silent as to the terms of
the new pact. but various claims of victory
are being made in behalf of the strikers.
On that point a man interested in the steel
trade said to the Associated Press:
Take some salt with these claims of
victory. Wait until the new agreement is
signed and it's contents published before
you award any decision to gains on
either side"

ARMY TRANSPORTS.
Extravagance Charged I'm the Opera
tiOn of the Service.

Extr1vagance Charged I'm the Opera
tiOn of the Service.
Reports have been made by officers Of
the inspector generals department to the
effect that the army transport service Is
not as economically managed as 1T might
be. Some Of the reports charge actual ex-
travagance in the operations Of the trans
port service, especially in connection with
the vessels employed In carrying troops
and military stores between Manila and
San Francisco.
One of the allegations is that the trans
ports are overmanned, one officer saying
that each transport has twice as many
men as are actually needed. Extrava-
gance is also alleged in the matter Of sup
plies and repairs, and attention is called
to the condemnation Of 100 small boats as
unfit for service, the seams of which were
open at the time of purchase.
Inspector General Breckinridge has SUBJ
mitted these reports to the War Depart
ment and they have been referred to Gen.
Bird Of the quartermaster generals office,
who has mediate charge of the transport
service.
General Bird has directed strict investi-
cation Of all the points criticised by the
officers of the inspector generals depart
ment and Is confident that he can show that
the reports are exaggerated If not actually
unfounded.

SENATOR T!LLMAN'S VIEWS
COMMENT ON THE ACTION IN RE
GARD TO McLAURiN.
His Opinion I'm Reference to the Ohio
Denof rats conve-s,on and
Silver.

Senator Tfliman3of South Carolina Is In
Washington. and called upon Secretary
Gage at the Treasury Department today
In speakirgsto a Star reporter OF the re-
cent action of thS South Carolina demo-
cratic state committee in virtually reading
Senator McLaurin. his colleague, out OF
the party. Mr.. Tiilman said:
The action of the committee In TINS
matter should not be construed as one ex-
pelling Mr.. McLaurin from the party. In
the first place. the democrats of the state
do not regard Mr. McLaurfn as one OF
them. There was therefore. no expulsion
from the organization In this act OF the
committee, but rather notice that MT
McLaurin should stand before the people
In his true light
There Is no mistaking the meaning Of
that committees action. 1t has told NC
Laurin that common political honesty and
decency demand that he go before the peo-
pie In order that the principles expoundeu
by him In hts heretical attitude may be
either sustained or disapproyed
What the State Democracy Denies.
"In a word. the democracy of the state
does not deny hiai the right of member
ship. but 1t does deny that he Is repre-
sentative OF their tenets. The proper thing
for him to do under the circumstances Is
for him to resign his office as senator and
go before the state for vindication. That
would settle the whole issue. Let him 90
that and there will then be no question OF
the propriety of his democracy Ihat
what the people want him to do and that
Is what the state committee meant for him
to do when they judged him and his policy
/ do not think McLaurin is democrat
In referring to the recent apostasy or the
Ohio convention on the silver question,
Mr.. Tillman said:
The Ohio Convention.
"The Ohio democrats had no business
dragging the silver issue into their con-
ventions as they did. This Is a matter that
could we'll have waited for year or two.
1 think the conventions action nonsense.
The man who pulled Bryan and silver into
that meeting was. in my candid opinion. a
fool. There was no necessity for 1t, and
1t only raised trouble. 1t was bad politics
and Furthermore demonstrated bad judg-
ment in every respect.
The Ohio convention nor any other con-
ver1tion at this time, for that matter. has
no authority or excuse for determining po-
lHical issues that are to be settled three
years hence. What Is the use Of any such
action? 1t can readily be seen that 1t is
all fOolishness. The year 1904 Is long
way off and there Is no way Of predicting
what the conditions may be then. Ohio has
no right to say now what the issues shall
be in 1904. 1t would have been far better
In this instance it is better to await the
developments of the next three years. Then
we can tell what Is best for the party and

FOUR NEW. :.STEaMER LINES
CONSUL GENERAL GUENTHER'S RE.
PORT FROM FRANKFORT.
Ambassador White Speaks OF the
United States Trade With
Germany.

According ito Consul General Guenther,
at Frankfort. In AZ report to the State De-
partment, there is good authority for the
report that four new lines are to be In
corporated with 1.-The Hamburg American
line, as follows:
ID The Jebsen line. between Shanghai
and Tsintau. This line was subsidized by
the German government; 1t Is proposed to
enlarge the service and extend It to Chez
foo and Tfen Tsin. the Hamburg-American
line wishing to gain part OF the Chinese
shore trade.
(2) The share held by the Bremen firm Of
Rickmers in a line operated on the Yangtze
by the North German Lloyd. 1t Is ex-
pected that the Yangtze commerce will
soon increase greatly. The North German
Lloyd and the Hamburg-American line in
this case work together.
CD The third project Is that of regular
East Asia and San Francisco route. by
which (using the overland route between
San Francisco and New York; more
rapid communication with the east will be
secured than via the Suez canal
C4) The fourth enterprise Is the purchase
OF the British Atlas line, operating between
New York the West Indies and South
America.
Ambassador White of Berlin has trans
ing official statistics Of the foreign trade
Of Germany from 1891 to 1900, inclusive:
In 1891 the United States occupied fourth
place in the import trade Of Germany,
with a total of sos, ,52S 900. being preceded
nv Great Britain. with S16O S3S .OO0: AUSTRIA
Hungary, with $142 ,324 900, and Russia,
with s13S. 900. In 1895 the imports into
Germany from the United States rose to
s121 600. and after that year increased
RAPIDLY until In 1900, when they reached
the sum Of $268. 750. 400. The United States
thus stands far above any other country
in this trade. being bel aso followed ndd by Great
sra. TAO 900: Austria, with $172. 2.312 900. and
France, with $72. 100000. During this
period American imports into Germany
have increased more than those of the last
named four countries together. As regards
the export trade of Germany, the United
States has occupied third place during this
whole period. In 1860 the United States
imports from Germany many WEI were e, to the value
1893. $40, ,492 900.
Up to 1898 they showed tendency to de-
cline amounting in 1891 to $S4, 9G6 600 and
sinking in 1894. under the tariff of $780, to
$64 49S, 600 the lowest point reached. The
first place in the export trade has been
continually held by Great Britain (which is
the only large country with which German
trade shows larger exports than imports),
the second is held by Austria Hungary and
the fourth by Holland. though from 1906
to 1899, Inclusive, this was held by Russia,
which Is NOW fifth. Within this period
-19OO-there nave been notable increases
In GermanY's exports to England (notwith-
standing that since 1897 there has been no
commercial treaty between these coun-
tries) to Balgium-s Italy. Sweden and Nor
way British India. Australia. China and
Denmark. The syeatest relative increase
has been In the exports to Japan, which
have risen from - 900 In 1891 to $8.-

HARyESTS IN EUROPE,
Outlook Is for Increased Importatfons
From America.

LONDON, July 29-The Mark Lane Ex-
press today in its weekly crop review says:
The harvest Is proceeding rapidly In
France The wheat in Normandy, Picardy
and in the south exceeds the average: but
there Is a bare average in the west, center
and east. Probably the total will not ex-
ceed thirty-seven million quarters. leaving
six millions to be imported.
Germanys wheat crop is five per cent
below the average on area and also five
per cent below the average yield. Her
import needs, therefore. will be larger than
in 1900.
The crop in Austria-Hungary, though
not large, exceeds expectations.
The Russian spring crops have I'm
proved"
The Express remarks that the damage
done to the American corn is probably ex-
aggerated, but the news sufficed to scare
the trade and the whole trade IN feeding
stuffs is much strengthened

Throws cherries at the birds and breaks

And spoils the flower beds,
And watches for chance to push
The good boy from the shed;

To run across the grass
The bad boy gets the smaller boys
To run away TO swim.

Are tied in knots by him.
