Washington, Jan. 3 Naval subma-

session If the views OF the majority of
the naval board of construction are

day a letter from Representative Foss,
chairman of the house committee, in
wiling attention to the bill pending au-
thorzing the construction of twenty
additional submarine boats and asking
the department whether such addition

vote of 4 10 Naval Constructor Wood

to submit report to Secretary Long.
advising him to inform Mr.. Foss that
in view of the construction of these
boats and the possession OF one, now in
commission, it seems undesirable for
congress to authorize additional boats
of this character until their value for
naval warfare has been demonstrated,

The writer talked with a number of
prominent farmers on the question of n

tax paid in money and road work done
by contract or hired help. Myron Stauf-

way. Hon. Thomas Kimball, of La
Noble was outspoken in favor of such
method. Charles Lynch, of Vienna,

many of them THE teams and men on

men take hold differently. The teams go
anywhere and one of them will move

WANT CORN GROWN.
Germans Seeking to Have Their Col. onies Produce This Cereal for
 German Markets.

According to Consular Agent Harris the German Colonial association is so. liciting the government to take steps toward introducing and protecting on large scalet the growth of Indian corn in some of the German colonies. The German empire imports about $32, ,000,- 900 worth of corn every year, the ma joI part of which comes from the United States.
 If the soil and climate of any one oi the colonies should be favorable to the growth of Indian corn such step would no doubt be of some importance to that particular colony But should any of these colonies he ahlez ta nrnd nee the corn which grows in the Mississipp ppi valley (which is not apt to be the easel; it will be many years before the American farmer need fear competi- tion from this source.
 The Woermann line, which plies be- tween Hamburg and Togo, charges $9.5o per ton for foreigners between these points. The North German LIoyd q charges on the average $2.75 per ton from New York or Baltimore to Bre- men. Often large quantities of corn from the United States are taken gratis as ballast. Until Germany has better shipping facilities with her colonies the freight on corn will amount to as much as the original price of corn pe1 ton in America.
 To make good this difference in a degree the Colonial association pro poses to admit corn from the German colonies free of duty. In 1899 the gov ernment's income from the duty on corn amounted to $7.74o ,0O0. The duty on corn imported from the colonies amounted to $1,430.

MAN WITH BROKEN NECK.
Astonishing Case of Recovery-stead- fly Improves Until Now He Can

Walter E. Duryea, who has derived fame as being the only man who has actually survived broken neck, as tonished his physicians as well as his attendants at the Hotel St. George in Brooklyn the other afternoon by stand ing upright on his feet without as- sistance.
 MT. Duryea's improvement has been continuous and steady. Since his ar rival at the Hotel St. George, in Octo- Der last, he has never been out of doors, but has confined himself to a rigorous course of treatment that already is showing gratifying results.
 The treatment has enabled Mr. Dur yea to recover practically all his dor mant faculties save that of walking. and the demonstration which he gave of being able to stand unaided con- vinced his friends that it is likely he may soon be able to get about.

\ WASHINGTON CHARACTER.
Dwarf Does Thriving Business Sell ing Shoe Strings to High
 Officials.

Secretary Long travels up and down Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, with his green cloth bag in hand in the most unconventional manner, and while on his way to the white house to cabinet meeting stopped near the east gate, and after brief conversa- ton with a deformed little being. who is known as ''the presidents shoestring man," bought a pair of strings, and. thrusting them into his green cloth bag, put a number of bright coins into the hand of the vendor and went iD to sort his shoe strings and state pa, pers prior to the cabinet meeting.
 Every member of the cabinet and the president himself has stopped along the sidewalk to buy shoe strings from this dwarf, while the clerks of the state. war and navy departments could not be induced to spend 8 cent for this use full commodity with anyone else.
 The police have driven most or the men of this class from the streets, and only on account of unusual pat ronage would he be allowed to hold his present stand. No one knows his name, and no one has ever asked. Long ago, during the first Cleveland administration, he became known as the presidents shoestring man, be- cause President Cleveland stopped one day and, casting a pitying glance at the little figure standing almost shoul- der deep in the snow, bought a hand full of shoestrings, giving in return painful of coins. After that goon luck attended the shoestring man and business is so brisk that in the worst weather he is enabled to re. main indoors.
 Though the price paid by statesmen is pretty stiff for shoestrings, the dwarf is conservative in his real charges, and was never known to ae- cept cent without making sale While his shoulders are almost as broad as those of the president him. self, the little man stands scarce three feet from the ground, and is a. strange vision as one ever saw.

7be Readable Reporzs o kbe Late C0nSu/ W1Ildzunn In All of His Official Communications He
 Displayed Literary Training

n OUNSEVELLE WILDMAN, the N United States consul general at
 Hong-Kong, who, with his fam lily, went down to a watery grave on the ill-fated Rio de Janeiro, was, like many of his coworkers in the consular service, man of unusual ability and polish; man fitted by nature and training to fill we'll the post assigned him.
 Wildman's name will go down into history as one of the brainy men of that great country we call the west. He was a writer of ability, and he dis played that ability not only in his books, which have had wide sale, but fin his reports to his home government as well. America has as rule been fortunate in the selection of her con sular officers. The position of a con- sul general, or even of consular agent, is not one that is easily filled If the duties are performed satisfac- torily and for the best interests of the country. Many of the more impor- tant consular posts are to-day, and have been in the past, filled by capa- ble newspaper men. It is a work for which newspaper training is seem gAgly well adapted, and these men

have given to the service of the coun- try the value of such training. There are many and long reports to be made; there are numerous clerks as 8 rule who might prepare these re- ports in such way that they would be equally valuable for the use of which they are intende ed-the information of American manufacturers and export CTS. But Consul Wildman went step further than the majority of his CO., workers in the service and prepared these reports himself. Anyone who has studied Wildman's literary style can see in the reports that have come from Hong-Kong over his signature the work of his pen. and not that of a clerk in the consular office. There is in all of them vein of terseness, of pointed fact, of humor that pro- claimed Wildman as the author. The last report that he ever made to this government displayed this in an ex- ceptional manner, and for that reason and because it is the last manuscript intended for the public eye that he probably wrote, we reproduce it be- low:
