EXCITING OPPOSITION
Ascendancy Of United States Stirs
Europe to Action.
Likely That an Alliance between
Italy and Germany and Austria
Will BE Formed to Control
Commerce Of Europe.

A dispatch to the Journal and Ad-
vertiser from Paris says: Addison
Harris, former United States minister
to Austria, is now in Paris on his way
home. He gave to the correspondent
the following statement on the COM
mercial sentiment of European ma
tions against the United States:
"In 1887 the Austria-Hungarian min
fster of financial affairs urged on the
Austrian parliament the necessity for
a continental bund against the United
States of America. 1t was reported
that he also addressed notes on the
subject to European courts. Austria,
in pursuance of this policy, is now en-
gagged in framing new tariff which it
is expected Hungary will ratify, thus
making the new Austro-Hungarian
tariff take effect in 1908.
'"That year the triple alliance ex-
pires by limitation, as also do the COM
mercial treaties between the three
powers. 1t is reliably reported that
these powers will cooperate CONNER
cially at the same time as they renew
their martial alliance.
"The board of trade of Austria is
diligently engaged in collecting data
and framing schedules, and the min
lister. of finance will soon submit the
proposed new law to the Austrian par
lament. The terms of the schedule
have not yet been made public, but one
we'll informed said to me:
"'After we get our new and our
commercial treaties with Germany
and Italy, then if the United States
want to trade with us they must offer
high Inducements
"Of course, how Austria and Hun.
gary may formulate their common tar
if is not entirely assured. On this the
commercial treaties with Germany and
Italy must rest. But the sentiment OF
farmers and manufacturers is for high
protection, with favoritism to their
political allies.
"The operations of Mr.. Morgan and
his associates have energized the peo
pie of central Europe. They are mo-
afraid; they have foreseen the fierce
struggle with the United States ant
have been preparing for the fray. In
Guiding Italy, Germany and Austria
there are 10000, 900 persons betweeI
the Mediterranean and the Baltic
They produce everything we do excep
cotton. Germany's iron works are sec
ond to none, and the question ever.
morning with the merchants of Buda
Pesth is, what is the price of grain il
Chicago?
"The upholders of the triple alliance
claim they have controlled the peac
of Europe during the last two years
They contend that with similar com
mercial alliance they can regulate tn
commerce of Europe.
81 do not think the Austrian ministe
sent invitations to the chancellerie
:, of Europe to join in a coalition agains
the United States. If he had he woult
not tell. Anyway, the time is not rip
Z for such action. European coalition
Q is not impossible, but it is exceeding
Y ly difficult"

GOOD MARKET FOR CEMENT.
. Variety of Purposes In
south Africa.

According to official reports South
Africa is a gocL market for cement.
All public buildings, stores and
dwellings are coated with cement
There are few wooden buildings
erected. The masons in South Africa
are mostly Malays. They are skilled
in their trade and do the work neatly.
Cementis also used largely in the con-
struction of aqueducts, wharves,
chimneys, walls, etc. While the prin-
cipal import of cement is from Great
Britain, considerable quantities are
also imported from Belgium and Ger
many, the latter, on account of it's
cheapness, increasing. Belgium ce-
ment is of good quality and as cheap
as the English article. The reports
state that American cement should
compete well, as transportation from
our country is not higher than from
Europe. Cement cannot be manufac-
tured in South Africa for lack Of
raw material.

Fatality at a Ball Game.

Stanley Leach, the 13-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Leach, of
South Wellstcn, while in attendance
at the ball game between Coalton and
Wellston at the race track, in Well
ston, on Decoration day, met with an
accident which resulted in his death,
Sunday morning at 2 o'clock.
The young man, like others, was in
the front ranks of the vast srowd,
which attended the game, watching
every move of both sides in eager an
ticipation for the success of the home
team, when Frank Mayes,, who was at
the bat, struck the bah H as II II came upJ
knocking a liner, which went directly
into the crowd, and as young Leach
happened to be the unfortunate one,
was struck ON the nose with the ball,
breaking all the bones and cutting
several of the arteries.-Ironton Re-

PENSIONS FOR MAIDS OF HONOR
Ladies' Of Queen victoria's Court to
Have Small Annuities Given
Them.

The ladies of the late Queen Vic
toria's court, after anxious waiting,
have learned that they are to receive
pensions, although minute ones. Many
of these former members of the royal
household, though of high lineage,
have meager fortunes, and the maids
of honor, etc, found their posts rich
er in honor than in profit. The excuse
for the meagerness of the pensions is
the inadequacy of the provisions for
the royal expenses.
During the last few years Queen
Victoria was unable to make the civil
list meet the official expenditure and
was obliged to draw on her private
fortune. King Edward now has to
keep up Balmoral castle and Osborne
house, costing e31,OOo annually,
though he dislikes both places.

THE FASHION PLATE CHILD.

rm poor little fashion plate child,
And my manners are gentle and mild,
But the trials endure and the fun ad-
Jure
Would set any other child wild.
All my frocks are quite fetching and smart
But great rage fills my poor little heart,
When 1 foolishly stand with purse In
my hand
In pose quite approved by Delsarte.
An umbrella I have, though tits plain
There Is not the least chance of a rain,
For my shoes and my hat are not fitted
for that;
My hair would be curled all In vain.
Little girls must all hate me, fear,
For on Sundays and afternoons clear
They are dressed Just like me for the
public to see
And their comments are caustic hear.
How wish could wear an old dress
Made Of gingham, and then just guess
would make some mud pies that would
open your eyes.
Though my pose might not be success.

Farther Extension Of the Industry
I'm states bordering ON the Gulf
of Mexico IL Probable.

There is promising outlook in this
country for the further extension of
the rice industry. Last year 100000
900 pounds of this valuable food was
produced in this country. In addi-
tion to the home product, 130,6s6,055
pounds of rice and 65,746,526 pounds
of broken rice, -four and meal were
imported.
According to the officials of the ag-
ricultural department, enough rice
can be produced in this country to
supply the home demand and to ex-
port large quantities. Reliable esti-
mates show there are about 100000
acres of lana in the five states bor-
dering on the Gulf Of Mexico well
suited to rice cultivation. The
amount which can be irrigated sue
cessfully by present methods, using
the available surface and artesian
flows, does not exceed 100000 acres.
The rest of the land could be brought
into cultivation, but the cost would
be prohibitive at the present price of
rice.
Three million acres is a conserva-
tive estimate of the amount which
can be irrigated successfully. The
best results require rotation of crops.
consequently only one-half of that
amount, or 100000 acres, would be
in rice at any one time. At an aver
age yield of ten barrels of 1862 pounds
each per acre, 100000 acres of rice
would produce nearly 2,5o0,0oc
pounds of cleaned rice, or nearly six
times the amount of the present con.
sumption. There is no reason, ac'
cording to these officials, why the
United States should not grow an6
mill all of it's own rice anu become 6
large exporter.

French Chemist Powders Volcanic

Boiling in Water.

An eminent French chemist, NJ.
Armand Gautier, has reported dis
covery to the Paris Academy of Sci
ences which may prove of great hy-
gienic value. He has found that finely
powdered volcanic stones, treated by
boiling in water at a temperature of
ESQ to 800 degrees Celsius, yield a
liquid identical in composition with the
ordinary sulphur water of mineral
springs, except that it is stronger than
the latter.

that the Swiss engineers have succeed

Moving mount, near Neuchatel. The
measures taken to save the village and

in building huge cement wall to hold

filled with cement. By these means
the mountain became firm and most Of
