BOUND TO AFFECT OUR TRADE
If Present Condition of German In
1ustry COntfnuea

If Present Condition of German In
dustry Continues.
If the debilitated condition Of German
industry continues much longer 1t will Sc
riously affect United States trade with the
empire. says Consul Diederich at Bremen
in a report to the State Department, in
which he sets forth the alarming indus
trial crisis that now threatens Germany
The laboring men Of that country, he says,
barely succeed in keeping body and soul
together. while the monthly reports as to
the number Of men who are Idle and seek
ing employment are startling. Then, too.
Germany Is preparing to harvest the poor
est crop it has produced for many years
The textile, coal, chemical, cement and
various other Industries have been affected
more or less seriously, one being affected
by a blow to another.
Much is hoped for from the commercial
treaties now under discussion, and, gener-
ally speaking. says Mr.. Diederich, trade
and manufacturing circles are in favor Of
commercial treaties of long tenure, argu-
ing that these would be the best means for
removing from the markets Of the world
the risks brought on by instability and
constant changes.

Weather Bureau Predicts That Mod

"eather bureau Predicts That Mod.
crate Temperature VIII Continue.
The local weather conditions today were
considerably moderated from those of yes
terday. and the weather bureau this after
noon predicted that within the next twen-
ty-four hours the temperature will prob
ably not rise higher than 1t has done since
last evening. We are likely to have more
local rains this evening. These rains may
AFFORD only temporary relief, however. and
they will not necessarily mean that the
present spell of moderate temperature win
continue for any great length of time At
the weather bureau this morning the ther-
mometer registered IA degrees and about
O'Clock this afternoon it had reached the
81 point On Pennsylvania avenue at 2
O'Clock the mercury was wavering between
81 and 81 degrees.
The weather bureau reports that during
the day and last evening showers occurred
in various parts of the north and middle
west. These rainfalls were entirely local
in character, however, and gave only a
small measure of relief to but few sections
of the drouth-stricken agricultural region
Missouri and other sections of the west
were favored with such showers. but In
the vast proportion Of the area suffering
from the heat and lack of rain there has
been no relief afforded during the past
twenty-four hours.

THE LYNCHING AT ERWIN
COGNIZANCE OF THE AFFAIR TAKEN
BY ITALY.
Facts Likely to Constitute an Inter-
national Incident-LOoking
Up the Case.

The italian government has taken cog
nizance of a recent bloody affray at Erwin,
Miss, in which, 1t is alleged, two Italians
were lynched and third seriously wound
ed. The facts have been communicated to
the foreign office at Rome and the Italian
embassy here has made representa- to
the State Department. At the same time
the Italian authorities are pursuing an in
vestigation of their own through the consul
at New Orleans, and the consular agent at
Vicksburg, Miss, which Is not far from
the scene of the trouble. The consular
agent is now on his way to Erwin to make
more careful inquiries.
Thus far the reports received from
these officials establish what is con-
sidered two essential points in rather
serious condition of affairs. First, it Is re-
ported positively that the Italians were
killed by lynching, and not through any
accident of chance affray. Second. the
Italian authorities nearest to the scene of
the trouble have established TO their salts
faction that the persons killed are Italian
subjects in the full sense not having taken
out naturalization papers. This latter
point is usually regarded as important In
such cases. as a foreign subject loses the
protection of his home government when
he becomes naturalized American.
Thus far the case is in a stage of inquiry
both on the part of the State Department
and the Italian authorities, but there is
every indication that the facts will con-
stftute an international incident similar to
that with Italy growing out of the lynch
Ing of certain Italians in Louisiana.
The first report of the trouble at Erwin
came in brief press dispatch four or five
days ago At that time the Italian en-
bassy knew nothing of the affair. The next
day another unofficial dispatch cast doubt
upon the report, and indicated that there
had been no such killing. In the mean
time. however the Italian consular officers
at New Orleans and Vicksburg made tel
egraphic reports, and these have been fol-
lowed by several additional reports as fast
as facts could be ascertained
The Italian charge d'affaires, Mr. Carig-
mani, took prompt action in advising his
government and in laying the matter be-
fore the State Department. The depart
ment has rendered every assistance possi-
bic. although this has again disclosed the
difficulties of federal action in a matter
occurring within the Jurisdiction of a state
The governor will it Is reported. proceed
In person to Erwin.

RETURN OF THE CONCORD.
The Navy Department Asks for Rea
sons for the Move.


The Navy Department has received a
telegram from Lieutenant Commander
Henry Minett, executive officer of the gun
boat Concord, announcing the arrival of
that vessel at Seattle yesterday. The an
nouncement occasioned no little surprise,
tnaSmuch as the Concord recently was
ordered home from the Asiatic station and
sent to- Unalaska to assist in enforcing the
liquor laws in that locality and carry on
the work formerly performed by the gun
boat Wheeling. Lieutenant Commander
Minetts telegram stated that Commander
Harry Knox, the commander Of the Con-
cord, was i'll, and it is supposed that this
was the cause of the Concord's unexpected
return to Seattle. The department imme-
diately wired for full particulars of this
move OF the Concord. vessels undirected
abandonment Of her post constitutes a
rather serious offense under ordinary cir
cumstances, but, pending further details
OF the occurrence, judgment is suspended
at the Navy Department.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 17.-Iieutenant
Commander Minnett when seen aboard the
Concord, declined to be interviewed regard
ing the press dispatch from Washington
regarding the return Of the Concord from
Alaska without orders from Washinaton
He read the dispatch with the greatest in
terest, and expressed his surprise at it's
contents.
hardly know what to say about this
dispatch" he remarked. II have just re-
ceived telegram from the Navy Depart
ment asking me to explain fully by letter
the reason for bringing the Concord TO this
port but 1 have not yet prepared my
answer. 1t will be impossible for me to
say ANYTHING pending instructions from the
Navy Department. more than that have
an explanation to make officially which I
am confident will be entirely satisfactory
to the department"
Commander Knox Is still aboard the Con-
cord. but will probably be detached from
the vessel and taken to hospital in this
city tomorrow. His nealth has consider
ably improved within the last few days.
