GERMAN KARTELL
 IS NOT A TRUST
THIS SUGAR AGREEMENT, SAYS COUNCILLOR GoLDeEReER, HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE MANY YEARs-REPoRT INCORRECT.

New York, November 25.-Discussing the recently published cables from Lon don regarding the German Kartell Privy Councillor Goldberger, member of the im- perial German consultative board for commercial measure s. sa'l today:
 ''1n the firsi Face the organization of the German sugar refiners is not trust but s'EIply an agreement among them selves for the purpose of controlling the amount of hone production and regulat- ing prices. The members of the Kartell do not iosc their financial independence as manufacturers. The sugar Kartell in Germany is not a secret organization, it's existence being a matter of public rec ord at home and abroad. It has been in existence for number of years, and has been the subject of frequent discussion in Chambers of Commerce reports and pub lications.
 Furthermore, it should be stated that not all the sugar manufacturers belong to the kartell. True, the Kartell is main- taining prices at home, but this only af- fects the German consumer, the foreign CTS having no cause for complaint if they have cheap sugar at the expense of the German consumer.
 '"The figures in the London report are incorrect to a great extent Germany uses for herself about one-half of her own production. Home consumption has in- creased continuously during the last few years, while the total exports have de- creased, amounting to 1,147O97 tons in 1897 as compared with 1.O09, 466 tons in 190O For the first nine months of the current year the total export increased, but there has been decrease in exports to the United the first nine months of the year against $l2,O0OOCO for the corresponding period of the past year
 'In conclusion I would say that the German Karteil neither endangers the worlds production of sugar, nor that of Cuba and the West Indies. To speak of the German danger in this case would appear as an eAaggeration."
 Washington, November 25-The indus trial commission today published a spe- cial report explanatory of what is styled The Kartell' or German beet sugar trust.
 The Kartell it is stated, guarantees producers of raw sugar certain mini mum price, any differ ence between this price and an actually lower price in the worlds markets being made up by the refiners. In return the raw sugar produc- CTS agree not to produce any refined sugar for inland consumption and to sell only to factories in the combination.

POSTAL REVENUES

Edwin c. Madden, Postmaster
 General, Makes Report
SUGGESTS MANY CHANGES
Would Make Letter Carriers Responsi- ble for All Registered Mail Lost Through Their Carelessness.
 Stamp Books Popular.

Washington. November 25.-Third As sistant Postmaster General Edwin c. Madden, in his annual report, recom- mends the consolidation of third and fourth-class mail matter; an increase of the limit of indemnity for the loss of reg istered matter from $10 to $100, and that postal employees be made liable for the value of registered matter lost through their carelessness.
 The total postal revenues for the year from all sources were Sl11. .631 193. being $3,- 923727 less than the expenditures. This is exclusive of the cost of transporting the mails over the subsidized Pacific rail- roads that have not yet settled their bonded accounts with the government. The total value of stamped paper and stamped books issued during the year was $104. .7S5. .ss7 The issue of postage stamp books is regarded as a successful experiment. The 4,69S 42s stamp books have cost the department s4.69 per thousand to manufacture. There were 659,614S00 postal cards issued.
 The amount of second-class mail matter delivered free of postage to actual sub scriberS within the county of publication constitutes practically per cent of the entire amount mailed
 MT. Madden says it is but a question of time, if the rate of interest of sec ond-class matter continues, before it will consume most if not all of the revenue derived from other classes of mail mat ter.
 While second-class matter, combined with it's necessary equipment, constitutes approximately two-thirds of the combined weight of all the four classes of mail matter, it furnishes only slightly over per cent of the revenue from all postages. About 30 per cent of this nominal and unsustaining rate, MT. Madden says, is due to a construction of the statutes which has permitted the admission of great number of alleged newspapers and periodicals which are merely pretensions. The principal abuses of the pound rate named by the report are sample copies, bulk subscriptions books, serials, return copies to news agents and premiums to subscribers, the latter being characterized as the king of abuses. The hope Is ex-. pressed that the next annual report will show the second-class or mail practically from at least the larger abuses. This reformation, the report says, may take cent postage practicable at no distant date.

 Both teams are eager for the fray and Birmingham enthusiasts are ex- pecting the greatest game played here in years.
 For several years Birmingham has been avoided by large teams, but with the increase of population and love for sports the colleges are anxious to build up interest here and make it battle ground for athletic honors.
 The Alabama team has been putting in somS hard practice since their de- feat by Auburn and as it will be the last game of the season the managers intend to put the men to the severest test.
