ROCKVILLE, Md. May 26. 1901.
The Rockville waterworks are again in
operation after being disabled for about
week as a result of the damage to the
pumping apparatus by the recent fire at
the electric light power house. The damage
was not as great was at first supposed.
and the expenditure of about 500 has
placed the pumping machinery in better
working order than it was before the
fire. Nothing definite has yet been done
toward providing lights for the town, but

AMERICAN TRADE IN AUSTRIA,
Reports From COnsuls Mt ReIchenberx
and Trieste,

Mr.. Frederic Emory, chief of the bureau
of foreign commerce of the State Depart
ment, has made public another chapter of
the work entitled Commercial Relations
of the United States for 1890" which is
now in course of preparation. The chapter
made public deals with American trade in
Austria. and consists of reports from Con-
suls Mahin at Reichenberg and Hossfeld at
Trieste.
Consul Mahin of Reichenberg says that
the Bohemian glass industry Is suffering
through American competition. Not only
has the market Of the United States been
largely lost to Bohemian manufacturers
but it Is apprehended that eventually We
will flood European markets with glass
goods. In machinery, on the other hand
we have not made the progress in intro
duc1ng our goods into Bohemia that we
should. The consul says:
Not one of the thousands of factories
in this district contains an American ma
chine. None Is seen on farm-in fact not
machine of any sort is seen there-and
consequently 1t remains a virgin field for
the introduction Of United States agricul-
tural implements. There are possibilities
OF introducing many Of our products into
machinery. Our machines would meet
with cordial welcome. as the United
States is held in high respect by Austrian
manufacturers.
teen years ago whole cargoes of Bosnian
prunes were shipped to New York. This
export now not only has been reduced to
almost nothing, but California prunes act
ually compete with the Bosnian product in
Europe. The development Of our leather
trade in southern Austria has been checked
by high prices. 1t is a strange fact he
adds, that while the importation of Amer
lean sole leather is on the decrease, that
Of American tanned kid skins is on the in
crease. The consul has been informed by
a wholesale dealer in skins that he sells
raw Austrian kid skins to United States
tanners, and at the same time buys from
the same parties kid leather. In other
words, Austrian skins are sent to America
to be tanned and then returned to Aus
tria. They pay freight. insurance and i'm
port duty, and yet they compete success
fully with the home-tanned article.
A good market might be established in
Austria, Consul Hossfed says, for Amer
lean furniture, shoes, machinery, carriages,
etc, If American manufacturers would
open depots or send energetic agents.

ALL ON BOARD WE'RE HEROES.
But Only the Gallant Commander
Roper Lost His Life

The Navy Department has received the
report of the executive officer on the
United States steamship Petrol concerning
the fire aboard that ship March 81. in Ma
Mia harbor, during which Lieut.. Com. Jesse
NJ. Roper was suffocated by smoke while
endeavoring to save members of his crew
from like fate. According to the report
number Of the ships crew went down
into the passageway leading to the sail
room, where the fire broke out in the early
morning, with the intention of getting a
stream of water upon the flames. They
were driven back by the smoke and gases,
but Lieut.. Com. Roper. who had gone down
with the men at the first attempt upon
learning that one of them had been left
behind unconscious went below to his res
cue, in spite of earnest entreaties from
those on deck. Naval Cadet ]. E. Lewis
gallantly stepped ahead of his command
ing onlcer in an effort to relieve Com
mander Roper Of such a hazardous duty
ana other officers and sailors followed him
below. The imperiled seaman was rescued
but Lieut.. Com. Roper was brought on
deck in an unconscious state, and, despite
the most earnest efforts of the ship's sur
geon. died without regaining his senses.
In all, twenty-three officers and men were
overcome by the smoke and gases, but all
recovered, with the exception of their GAL
liant commander. Special mention Is made
of the gallant conduct of Naval Cadet
Lewis, Lieut.. J. S. Mexican and Ensign
Holman, both on the sick list at the time
and Assistant Surgeon r. W. PIummer
who pulled safely through twenty persons
seriously threatened with Suffocation The
conduct of every individual officer and
member Of the crew is said to have been
most praiseworthy. The origin of the fire
Is not known.

DEATH IN HIS OWN PLEA,
ManueIito Signed a Pledge but Was
Tempted and Fell.
LIQUOR DOOMED THE CHIEF.

A correspondent writing to the Chi
cage Post from Darlington. Oklahoma,
under date OF May II. says:
Manuclito. the most important chief
of the Navajoes, was known far and
wide for his bravery. but unfortunate
~ he was a hard drinker. one day
while he was on a visit to Gallup,
New Mexico, n temperance lecturer
was holding meetings. out Of curios-
fty Manuclito attended some of them.
They so worked upon his feelings
that he signed the pledge and left the
hall wearing a blue ribbon. He lived
some distance from Lorenzo Hubbells
ranch. which was sixty miles from
Gallup.
Manuelito stopped at Mr.. Hubbell's
on his return home and joyfully in
formed the owner of what he had
done. and said that he would
drink another drop of fire water as
long as he lived. He also told MIR.
Hubbell that his band of Indians was
to have n dance the following day
and wished particularly TO have him
visit them on this occasion, as he
intended to deliver a temperance lee
ture To his people.
Mr.. Hubbelll understands Navajo as
well as English; so he went. When
the Indians give this dance they wait
until shutdown. then build n large cor.
raj of logs and brush. They make a
large bonfire In the center, around
which they dance.
During the intermission in the
dance Manuelito stepped to the cen.
ter of the dance ring and began to
talk of the evils OF drinking liquor.
Mr.. Hubbell said that for a time he
never heard anyone speak more i'm.
pressively in the cause of temperance.
There CHANGED to be an Indian on
the utside Of the corral under the In.
nuence of liquor. With a bottle of
whisky In his hand he listened to
Manuelito. When he realized what
the subject was. knowing Manuelito's
weakness, he decided to put his good
resolutions to the test. lie entered
the corral and approached the speak
err. but Manuelito say the whisky bot.
tie and pushed him away. The Indian
persisted, and getting closer with the
tempting bottle. succeeded In placing
Il right under Manuelito's nose.
But the chief pushed the bottle
aside and went on with his lecture,
His tormentor. however, would give
poor Manuelito no peace. He tried
manfully to fight against the tempta'
tlon. but continued whins of the
whisky were too much for him, and
his resolutions melted into thin air
At last he snatchod the bottle from
his tempter and took q drink. He
continued his temperance lecture, but
there were many intermissiOns. which
lasted long enough for him to a X O
drink each time. Finally he became
80 intoxicated that there was no more
lecturing and he lay down by the side
Of the corral and went to sleep.
It began to rain. but the Indians
continued to dance and forgot theil
unfortunate companion. When morn
ing came the dance had ceased. Man
uelito. who had lain on the ground al
night in the rain. took cold and in {
few days died.
