PROSPERITY AT PORT AU PRINCE.
Favorable Report Received From
Minister Powell

Minister Powell, at Port au Prince. has
made a report to the State Department on
the subject of commercial conditions in
Haytl, In which he says that during the
past year the government has not had to
resort to loans. as has formerly been done.
Employees have been regularly paid, and
the country may be said to be in a bet
ter financial condition than it has been for
the past six years.
He says that merchants doing busn- SIS
with the United States have largely in
creased their orders for all class of mer-
chandise and provisions, in order to take
advantage of the old law, by which the
duty on all imports was paid in the cur
rency of the country.
+ The new law, which went into effect on
the LIST instant, provides that the surtax
shall hereafter be payable in gold, and that
the export duty on coffee and logwood shall
be reduced. Mr. Powell speaks, in his re-
port, of the increased coffee crop, and says
that that product is increasing in value in
the French market. .rs.-

American on Australia's Commerce,
From the London Mail.

There is no gratitude and little patriot
ism in business" said Col. Bell late cor
sui general for the United States in Aus
tralia. at meeting Of the London chamber
of commerce yesterday at which Lord Bras
sey took the chair. In Australia, he con-
tinued, people are Just as loyal as any in
London, but they buy where they can get
the best bargain Americans have in
creased their sales in Sydney 800 per cent
in seven years. Germany is strong COM
petitor. and would be stronger If she nut
as much integrity In her goods as ability in
her commercial methods.
Col Bell expressed surprise at finding
how few people in London know anything
about Australia, yet the Australians. he
said, are the greatest commercial people in
the world. With a population of four and
half millions they have a greater external
trade than Russia, four times as great as
Japan and twice as much as China with
her 400.0O0.OOO of people. Col Bell asserted
that not single nation possessed a con-
sular service properly organized and adapt-
ed to the needs of the age. The American
consular service, he said, would be a dis
grace to Turkey.

it now only remains for the ltepublicah

and to stop them demand that elections

ity Of the Oxy-Hyrdogen charter
is beyond question. II there ever
was a question about that, it was re-
moved in the opinion and decision of
Chancellor Nicholson. The effect of that

been swept away by the administration
Of the department. BY granting stree

away its own case, has proved that tn
