TOYMAkING IN GERMANY.
The Industry Has Been Unusually
DrnS Is6l NJ I.xxfl

Prosperous of Late.
Nearly all the toys in the world are made
in Germany. According to Consul Warner
at Leipzig, the toymaking industry of that
country has been unusually prosperous dur
ing the past few years. North and South
America, England, Cape Colony, British
East India, East Asia and Australia are the
principal buyers of German toys, and the
demand seems to be increasing from year
to year. The United States and Great
Britain are by far the largest purchasers.
The shipments to those countries in 1900
exceeded those Of any previous year. Great
Britain has bought over 1900 tons an
nually during the past few years, and since
1895 has increased her purchases over 1,CO0
tons annually. The United States bought
6.195 tons of toys from Germany in 1888
and 9,612 tons in 1900, an increase of more
than one-third.
The German toy manufacturers regard
this increase as remarkable in view of the
fact that a few years ago an attempt was
made in the United States to prejudice the
public against the purchase of German toys
by circulating report that the paint used
in their manufacture contained Ingredients
dangerous to health The manufacturers
say that this agitation caused decrease
in the imports Of German toys for time,
but the report having proved to be ch1merl-
cal the toys have again found increased IA
vor in the United States. The exports to
the United States increased in value from
s. 200 in 1899 to about S3,S0S,00O In I9OO,
while the exports to Great Britain Increased
from So sos, 900 in 1899 to "a, 100000 in 1900.
France was also a large importer of Ger
man toys, standing third in the list of coun-
tries purchasing such articles from Ger

INTERSTATE, PARK SHOOT
NITRO-POWDER HANDICAP MAIN
EVENT OF TODAY.
Wind Was Light and Blew Directly
In the Faces of the
shooters.

NEW YORK, April TRAP shooters to
the number of 200 or more were at Inter-
state Park today, when the first and main
event of the second day I'm the ninth an
nual shoot of the Interstate Association,
the nitro-powder handicap, began. The
conditions of this match were: Sixteen
birds, $40 entrance; birds extra; handicaps
from twenty-five to thirty-three yards:
high guns, not class shooting; the handi-
caps allotted for the grand American
handicap to govern.
There were 80 entries before the shoot
began, and the list will not close until
each man has shot at two birds The light
was better for the shooters than yester-
day, as the rays Of the sun were subdued
by clouds. The wind, which was light,
was from the east, and blew directly in the
faces of the gunners, with a tendency to
veer to the south.
The days handicap must be completed
this afternoon, and the association re-
serves the right to drop every shooter out
OF the contest who has missed one or more
birds. This rule will be strictly carried
out If found necessary. as the grand Amer
lean handicap will be begun promptly at Q
o clock tomorrow.
One of the first men to kin all his birds
on the first round of the four sets of trans
was Maj. t. A. Marshall of Keithsburg,

MIR. MEIkLEJOHN Rack.
What He Says of the Nebraska Sena-
torial Contest.

tOrlaI contest
Ex-Assstant Secretary of War Meikle-
john has just returned to the city. In
speaking to a Star reporter today about
the final outcome of the senatorial contest
in Nebraska, in which he was prominent
factor, Mr.. Meiklejohn said:
1.-THE state and nation are to be con-
graduated upon the result of the senatorial
contest in Nebraska. The deadlock con-

Had this course not been pursued Ne
braska would have been without represen-
tation in the Senate for two years, with
the probable election of senator's by the
fusion party two years hence.
Gov. DIETRICH is forty-nine years of age

GOVERNOR OF PORTO RICO.
If Mr.. Allen Resigns Secretary Hunt
May he Promoted.

While Governor Allen of Porto Rico who
sailed yesterday from San Juan on the
Mayflower for Hampton Roads, has not
formally submitted his resignation, so far
as can be learned. his friends here would
not be surprised If he decided not to return
to Porto Rico. Governor Allen went to
Porto Rico in May last at the personal re-
quest of the President to set up the new
civil government there and get 1t into good
working order. 1t was distinctly under
stood that he was not to be obliged to re-
main longer than tnat, and it was esti-
mated that about a years time would serve
to launch the new government. This esti-
mate has been completely realized, and the
President and Secretary Hay are full Of
praise for the manner in which Governor
Allen has executed his task.
1t is expected here that if Governor Allen
declines to continue in Office Secretary
Hunt will succeed to the place. He has
acquitted himself with credit in the most
responsible office next to the governorsfip
in Porto Rico, and it is known that he win
have Governor Aliens personal support IL
he desires it. AS for Governor Aliens fu-
ture, his name Is connected in official gos-
sip with one of the foreign ministries.
though as there are no present vacancies
he might be obliged to wait for time.

BUSINESS OFFICE MACHINES.
they Have BecOme Indispensable in
Recent Years.

recent Years.
Consul B. H. Warner, jr., at Leipzig, in a
communication to the State Department,
tells of the growing popularity of type
writer's and adding machines, and says they
nave become SO Indispensable to business
concerns in Germany within the last few
years that a typewriter is to be found in
every large bureau or Office; and there is
no banking institution Of any prominence
without an adding machine. The first type
writer's and adding machines were of Amer
lean manufacture, and the importati in
creased to such an extent that German Gus
toms ofhcials placed them in a. special class.
The consul says during the first three
quarters of 1900 American manufacturers
sent 1919 per cent of the whole trade of
typewriters and adding machines into Ger
many. During the same period the export
of typewriters and adding machines from
Germany amounted to 1913 tons. which
We're distributed to various countries of
Europe and Asia The imports of type
writer's and adding machines overshadowed
the exports by $349,S6O.
AS the manufacture of typeWriterS has
met with some success in Germany. and as
they are becoming more numerous, some
German authorities are of the oaEion de-
spite the increasing demand, that ahe i'm
ports will not increase very, ma arially.
Consul Warner diSsents from this view
and expresses the belief that ,ehefe is a
market in Germany, as well as N Russia,
Sweden, Austria Hungary and FL gland, for
American typewriters and adding machines.

TURKEY GIVES A PLEDGE
IL II believed That Payment of Our
Claims Must soon Follow,

There is reason to believe that Mr.. Lloyd
Z. Griscom, secretary and charge of the
United States legation at Constantinople
who Is now on his way home, has earned
the credit of effecting final and satisfac-
'tory settlement of the American missionary
claims against Turkey. 1t cannot be learn
ed whether Mr.. Griscom will return to Con-
stantinople, but if he does not he will have
earned the honor of settling an issue that
has taxed the abilities of no less than three
of the ablest ministers ever sent nv the
United States to Constantinople
For 1t appears now that Mr. Griscop, has
hnally succeeded in arranging with the
Turkish government the principle ,Inon
which these lOng-Standing claims shall ha
settled. and the pledge of the Turkish gov
ernment is in such binding form that II is
not doubted that payment will soon follow

offered bonus Of $4,000 and exemption
from taxation for ten years to ~ person
or corporation that will erect Dhelter at
that place, says Consul Dudley at Van
couver in a report to the State Depart
ment. 1t is understood that a company Of
that country has taken the offer, and it
may be too late for an American firm to
get 1t. But there will undoubtedly adds
the consul, be a market for machinery, ma
terials and supplies, which elherprising
Americans may be able to supply. The
construction of the esmelter must be COM
meneed before October 1 next, Kaslo is
the center Of a great silver-lead-producing
