Continued American Invasion Causes
Serious Comment Abroad.

United States Consul Mcfarland at Not
tingham. in a report to the State Depart.
ment, says that English discussion OF the
American commercial invasion continues to
grow more pointed and frank. Hardly an
issue Of the leading English papers appears
without reference to American competition
in some line. Within the past two years
the tone of such articles has become Sc"
rious. and economic writers are kept busy
attempting to find acceptable explanations
for American success.
Leicester is the seat of two great indus
tries-the manufacture of boots and shoes
and of hosiery Including underwearl. A.
few years ago large quantities Of boots and
shoes were exported to the United States
Now, not only are there no exports, but
enterprising American firms have actually
opened retail stores there, while much OF
the machinery used Is Of American make.
English hosiery exports few years ago
were very large. They are now compara-
lively small. and. the consul says, are con-

climax, American goods are actually selfiag

LAKEWOOD, N. j., January II, 1901.
While the outdoor sports at the clubs have
maintained their customary attraction this
week, the glazing ahard surface of LakeCara-

portunities for skating now for many days.

the Ice at all hours Of the day. with large
numbers of interested spectators occupying
the paths and benches along the shore, and
at night huge bonfires light up hundreds
of enthusiastic young people still enjoying
the sport.

this year an added factor among the tan

The opening is not used in tourney chess,
as 1t gives too much material away in the
opening and Black can safely defend
against the strong attack White gets by the
early development of his force, but the
moves must be made with precision and in

A coming player of the country. one who
can be seriously considered for a place on
the American team in the coming cable
match, is the young player Clarence s.
Ign, who recently beat Frank Marshall in
the current tourney Of the Brooklyn club.
Marshall is to leave shortly for the interna-
tional contest at Monte Carlo, and wanted
to go as the champion Of Greater New
York. For this purpose he entered the
championship contests both OF the Brook
lyn and Manhattan clubs, and had already
succeeded in winning that Of the Manhat-
TAM but this defeat by young Howell leaves
him but the slimmest chance Of taking that
of the Brooklyn, as he is the lowest Of the
four leading players-Souweine. Howell, Zrn
and Marshall. Souweine has best show, as
he has won from Howell and Zirn and
drawn with Marshall. The one-half point
lost in the Marshall draw represents his
whole loss to this report.

The latter claimed that he could have won

TontO News.

There is very little news to record
 here, as travel has been light owing to
 the almost impossible condition of the roads, especially that portion between TontO and Salt river known as Eddy l fiat, and also between Oxbow and Pay son. Nevertheless everybody is thank i ful for the abundant rains which have | fallen in this vicinity, and would like to see more, except, perhaps, the mail man, MT. Harden, who has had tn con tend with many difficulties. He left here last Tuesday for Strawberry to straighten out matters OD the north. ern portion of the route, there having been no arrival of mail from Camp Verde for ten days.
 George FeltOn and John Gibson passed through here last week on their way to Mesa and Tempe with band .of horses to place on pasture, expect ing to get them in good condition be- fore the roundup begins. l notice the horses running at large here are gaining rapidly in flesh Feed is com ing CD fine.
 MT. H0uston'S scalp bill does not suit the cattlemen of this section and if the weather had not been so bad, as to preclude the crossing of the. Verde river, delegation would have gone to Phoenix and entered protest against the reduction of scalp bounties as pro posed by Houston's bill, as they claim that the lions will get all the increase.
 Mir. Gilliland came down from Upper Tonto Saturday after Dr, Maisch, to attend Henry lIardt who has very bad cold, or perhaps the grip.
 Notice has been received from Pay son that masquerade ball will be given there on the evening of Wash ington's Birthday. There will be dance al Cline also, on the same date.
 MT. Attenbury, photographer from Phoenix and who represents the A. T. X $. K. railroad in that capacity, ar rived here today with the intention of going over Reno pass next Tuesday to Phoenix.
 Dr. MaiSch was called during the rain storm week before last to Pleas ant valley, to attend Mr. Putnam. The doctor left his house at o'clock p, m., with guide to pilot him across the mountain.
 Boss Chilson from Payson left here last Friday for Bisbee by way of Reno pass and Phoenix.
 Precipitation from February lst to l7th was 2.S0 inches. During the past two days indications have been good for more rain. The sun is having very little effect, apparently on the snow which covers the mountains.
 Almond trees have commenced to bud.
