An Exclamation.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Will you kindly allow me to correct the account of the character of my tax motion argued before the Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday evening?
 I took pains at the beginning of the argument to show that the motion was not a resolution for municipal owner- ship" The motion as read showed for itself what it was, but I took pains to motion exhausted itself in procuring committees charged with the duty of outside of New Haven, comparing the two sets of facts together and then on of recommendations to the Chamber in the premises. The subjects to be treat ed were trolley roads, gas, electric light, water and telephone companies; and the information to be sought by the gathering and comparison of data was as to whether the inhabitants of this city are paying, for public services and commodities, fair or monopoly rates; second, whether the rates charged are fixed with sole reference to the capital invested or with reference to lot of imaginary capital known as water; and third, whether these public service cor poratons are or are not bearing their fair share of the tax burden.
 The Chamber, with about a dozen not voting, by a vote of IA to 9 determined that it would not be best to ascertain and compare the facts in other cities with the facts in New Haven.

THE ENDURING BoERs.

How those Boers do last! It is figur- ed that between the end of May and the beginning of December the Boers lost 1,00S killed, 635 wounded and taken, G. 673 unwounded prisoners, 1891 volun- tary surrenders-a total of 10907 put out of action in six months. At this rate the war is approaching an end, though it is significant of the deter mined character of Boer patriotism that General De Wet is said to be now at the head of 2,000 men. In fact, it seems, in view of the large forces still led by Botha, Delarey and others, that the losses on the other side are exaggerat- ed in the British reports, or the Boer population must have been vastly lar ger than anybody thought it was.
 And how the Boers' supplies do last! Since May the British have taken 12S,- 359 cattle, 44,O55 horses, 4,S52 wagons, 592,526 rounds of ammunition and 4,127 rifles.

ONE MORE EXPOSITION.

| Of making expositions there seems to | be no end In order to worthily cele-
 brate the twenty fifth anniversary of
 the foundation of the Royal Geograph- | ical Society of Antwerp it has been | decided to organize an exposition to be called the Exposition Cartographique,
 Ethnographique ct Maritime" The ex- position will be held in the building of the old museum at Antwerp Rue Venus, to be opened in the month of
 May next The object of the committee
 is to popularize geographical sciences,
 to make those countries recently open
 ed to commercial activity better known
 and to contribute to the development of the mercantile marine and of maritime enterprises. There will be section de- voted to ancient and modern maps and globes, surveying instruments etc, which will comprise also meteorological and ocean sounding apparatus. The committee proposes to assemble inn portant ethnological collections, in view of the interest taken in them by the public. The participation of the Congo Free State will largely contribute to the success of this section. Besides the colonial section, there will be depart ment devoted to everything relating to the progress of navigation. Models of ships and of great maritime works, inn provements in the art of navigation and trophies of voyages of exploration will be exhibited. It is desired to give to the exhibition an international charac- ter, as it is wished to signalize the great examples of the colonial and maritime powers and the progress realized by them.
 " This will be an interesting show. and though it may not attract many visi- tors from other countries it will be we'll worth seeing.

CHEERING NEVIS FROM INDIA.

India seems to be rapidly emerging from the depression caused by her long period of drought and famine. The off, cial returns of Indian trade for the first six months of the current fiscal year indicate striking recovery. An in- crease of nearly G4,300OO0 in imports shows that the purchasing power of the people has improved, while the much larger increase of nearly G7,600,O00 or g per cent, in exports of Indian pro duce and manufactures points to a gen. eral resumption of agricultural opera tions and a revival of the cotton indus try The English manufacturers in Lancashire have profited by the en- hanced imports of cotton piece-goods, the total value imported being 99,775,- 900, or se2,132,O ,O0O more than in the cor responding six months of 1900. The railroad companies have doubled their expenditure on rolling stock and mate- rials for construction. An increase of 100 per cent. in quantity and 50 per cent. in value of steel imports was

chiefly profitable to Belgium. The re- vival in Bombay manufactures is re- fiected in the larger imports of machin- cry and millwork, mainly supplied by the United Kingdom. Sugar imports, though larger in quantity, were some- what less in value than in 1900; but in both years the figures far exceeded those of 1899. Wheat exports, which sank to G141 ,000 in the six months end ing September 30, 1900, rose to G1,357,- 900. The value of raw cotton exported advanced to e4,1440 000-a growth of over 100 per cent. Japan was the chief customer, taking 1,024O00 hundred weight out of total of 2,472, 900 hun dredweight, as against only 62,500 hun dredweight in 1900.
 This is cheering. India has had much extra trouble during the last few years.

fl IIMELY SUGG ASTON

Peter Strickland, the United States has something to say concerning the need of direct steamship service be- tween the United States and Africa which is worth attention. The United States hasn't its share of African trade. It is almost as conveniently To- cated as Europe in reference to the tropical and south temperate parts of Africa, but it has not more than per cent. of the import trade of those re- gions. American goods before reaching Africa are often carried nearly 5000 miles out of the direct route, and on their arrival are handled and levied upon by foreigners How can 1t be expected" the consul asks, that Amer ican commerce will have the develop ment 1t deserves in new countries, where manufactured goods are not pro- duced, but where they are greatly needed when nothing is done to change conditions which threaten even the continuance of the trade we already have?" We might easily gain and maintain a respectable footing in the great African market, MT. Strickland believes, if we had well appointed steamers under the American flag to carry our goods and to bring back such of the products of Africa as are in de- mand at home. If direct steamship lines are established immediately, MT. Strickland considers that the tide of traffic may be turned in our favor but if the opportunity is neglected, he be- lieves that the present 5 per cent. of the African trade that this nation pos sesses now may be lost.
 Why shouldn't we have the trade of Africa? It is worth having, and we want everything that is worth having.

He ban daged the injured limb, and, strange to relate, when he made a second attempt to caress the dog, the animal, as If con- scious of his fault and anxious to make amends. licked the hand that stroked him. From that moment Karo, who, under Wagner's care, soon presented a respectable appearance, was constantly at his masters side.

RICHARD WAGNER AND THE DOG. The last time I was in Baireuth Wagner was hard at work on Tristan und Isolde" One day, as we were walking together in silence-for even on stroll his guests seldom ventured to interrupt the current of his thoughts he suddenly stopped and exclaimed angrily, Look! Look there!" He pointed to boy, who was fastening a string about a large stone. The other end of the string was tied to a dogs leg. Wagner hast tened up to the lad and demanded what he was doing. Going to drown the dog" said the boy. "Why?" Because he is old and no good He's half-blind.'' How long have you had him?" asked Wagner. About ten years as a house dog. He used to draw milk and vegetables to market was the response. "So!" ex- claimed Wagner. And now you won't give this faithful servant food and lodging in his old age. Shame on you. No, we can't be bothered with a sick old dog" answered the yokel, proceed ing with his executioners work. Then Wagner seized his arm and said
 Here is a thaler (about seventy-one cents). l will buy the dog. Take your self off, and remember that you were about to do something shameful. A beast feels the sting of ingratitude as keenly as a man." The boy went off, blushing q little, but carefully pocket ing the coin, and the dog, attempting to follow, was driven back. Wagner then tried to coax the dog to stay with us but as he stopped to stroke him, the beast bit his hand. Wagner turned pale and uttered a cry of pain, and raised my cane to chastise the snarling
