HE MADE A MISTAKE
cHAMBERLAIN's SPEECH IS RE.
 oARDED AS ILL-TIMED.
Although the German storm, is Exr l',pectedi to Quickly Subside the 3e "a Colonial Secretary Has
 Damaged Himself.

London, Nov. 23.-Once more has Jos seph Chamberlain, the Colonial SecreLa- | ry. proved his right and title to pc the most thoroughly hated British statesman. nan The storm now raging in Germany over his animadverslons on the Prussian army has had a powerful effect in Great Brit ain where, regardless of political ties Mir. Chamberlain has been severely crit icized for uselessiy putting his tooE int0 it." On all, sides can be heard irrttated expressions of opinion by English busi- ness men and politicians who, while they perhaps believe Mir. Chamberlain was eor- rect in what he said, denounce the utter ing of such sentiments. It Is recalled that MT. Chamberlain' uterancss regard ing the Czar and the Anglo-American- German alliance have been the causes of the only serious outbreaks of anti British feeling on the continent in re- cent times. It Is no exaggeration to say that the financial world Of Englan0 would be delighted to see Mir. Chamber lain muzzled when he intends to speak on Engiand's. foreign relations.
 As might be expected. MT. Chamberlain himself, takes the whole affair with his usual cynical indifference He Is staying quietly at Birmingham and Is not show which he has raised. At the Colonial Off flee a representative of the Associated Press was informed that Mir. Chamber lain does not desire to enter into any controversy and stands by what he said- If the German papers continue to mis- represent him (this Is Mr. Chamberlain's point of view), why. 1t cannot be helped
 The other government departments be- Iieve that the whole agitation will die q
 natural death and everything VIII cont out all right. There is no doubt how
 ever that by his latest break MT. Cham
 berIAin has seriously. perhaps irrepara.
 bly, damaged his reputation with thf better classes in England.

GERMAN SUGAR TRUST
BRITISH MAaNATES UNEARTH
 A COMBINE.
:. It is Alleged That the Decline in the Price of Sugar is Due E- . to Be "KartelPs" ~r
 Manipulation,

London, Nov.- 23.-The British sugar magnates assert that their investigations nave revealed the existence in Germany of a great trust called the "Kartell, '" which has been in existence about 8 year and that. it is chiefly owing to its sagency that sugar has been forced down to itsSlowests spoint in the history of it's Industry and that Germany today is enabled to dictate to the world the price of that commodity. The exact extent of the "Kartelr' was discovered they say, only quite recently. The magnitude of its operations supplies the missing factors in, the present alarming condition of the sugar market
 The abolition of this organization will be one of the chief objects of the nations, other than Germany, attending the forth coming Brusselrs conference. Already British firms have entered into negotia- tions with leading American interests and tables are now being drawn up show ing the transactions of the 'Kartell'' with a view of submitting them to the authorized q Washington. The British Government will be urged to empower it's representatives at the Brussels con ference to threaten retaHatory counter yailing measures unless the "Kartell" is broken up or at least modified.
 The latest figures available in London show that Germany now produces one third of the worlds supply of beet sugar, of which she exports no less than 1,250,000 tons after completely supplying her own population. These exports, which are almost one-fifth of the world s available supply, are sent out at loss to German manufacturers, but thanks to the "Kartell" plus the bounty, they are able not only to make up for this. but to reap a handsome preht-4H.addf- ton to gaining absolute control of the sugar market. 2
 The .'KartelI' is run very secretly, but from confidential reports shown to a rep resentative of the Associated Press in London, it is learned that 1t consists of an iron-clad combination of almost all the producers and refiners to keep up the price of sugar in Germany. This IS done so successfully that German consumers today pay thrice as much for sugar as the. Britian does for the same article i'm ported from Germany.
 The members of the "Kartell' bind themselves to buy from and sell to only those affiliated with the combine. This has worked so satisfactorily that the "Kartelr' now includes practically every factor of the sugar interest in Germany from the agricultural producer to the re- 0ner. The latter agrees always to pay 8.75 marks per hundred weight for the raw article, though natural conditions might ordinarily allow him to buy three marks cheaper. This, however. iusures
 permanently high price to the. con- SGmer. The enormous profit consequent

 Hon. Thomas M. Owen, State Director of Archives and History. who recently returned from Mobile where he went to Committee, Is full of enthusiasm anent the celebration.

 In his "CoIonial Mobile" Mr. Hamilton relates that the city was first located at what is now known as Twenty-seven Mile Bluff, point on the Mobile River about seventeen miles north of Mobile. It is said that the distance indicated by the name was based on the distance to that point from Dauphin Island and not from the present location of the city. which was at that time barren marsh at the mouth of Mobile River.
 The first city was founded by Iberville de la Moyne. French Governor of Louis. jana Territory and representative Of as MT. Hamilton can estimate the date, the town was formally launched on Jan- uary g. 17o2 Nine years later it was found that the locality was not a good one and Iberville sent his brother Bien- vile to change the location.

MINE OFFICIALS LOST

Pocahontas. Va, Nov. 23.-An hopei of, finding the eight mining officials wne entered the West mine yesterday to search for bodies entombed by the recent explosion in, the Baby has been about abandoned. Up to D. m. nothing nad been heard from them. rescuing party entered the mine this morning but was able to proceed only 300 yards. Tney found the coat of Superintendent oMaI- lev hanging on a peg about 2OO yaros in the mi.Ie, but discovered no other trace of the party.
 The mining experts now here have de- rided upon a plan of attempted rescue, but the mine officials refuse to give any Informant 9n to the public. Hopes had been entertained up to this morning that the party had escaped through the Tug River outlet, ten miles distant, and mes sengers were dispatched at an early hour to this point They failed to ind any trace of the party.
 At g D. m, nothing had been heard from the missing officials. No effort has been made to enter the mine since early morning, 1t being impossible to do so on account of the enormous accommodation of gas. Until the passages connecting the two mines are entirely closed and the gas forced out by means of large fans it will be impracticable to explore the mines. Large forces are working day and night to free the mines from gas, but 1t is impossible now to form any definite Idea as to when the mines will be con sidered safe for searching parties to en- ter. Some who are familiar with the mines claim that 1t may be several days before such a party could enter.
 The fire has now been burning ten days. Including the eight missing men, the probable total death list numbers seventeen persons. Hundreds were gath cred around the mine entrance tonight anxiously awaiting developments.

 constantinople, Nov. 23.-Never has the Turkish government been in such fnan- ciai straits as at the present time. It is impossible to see how the expenses of the Bamazan and Bairam. due in De- cember and January and involving $780, 900, can be met. The Ottoman Bank utter Iy refuses to make any more advances, and the penury is so acute that even the troops in many of the provinces are un- paid. The, consequence is that there have been mudnies in several districts. Hostile demonstrations here recently have only been quleted by the authorities hastily scraping together few thousand piastres as something on, account
 The discomfort in the army forms the real danger of the situation.
