NOT BRITISH TERRITORY.
Formal Acknowledgement as to Ger
tain Islands Off Honduras.

NEW ORLEANS, July 3O-The steamer
Condor, which has arrived here from
Puerto Cortez, Honduras, brings the news
that the British government has withdrawn
all claim to sovereignty over the bay
islands of Jtilla, Ruatan, Bonacca, or
Guanaja Felna and Barbarat, and acknow-
lodges that they belong to the republic Of
Honduras.
Great Britains formal acknowledgement
was carried to the islands by the cruiser
Psyche, which sailed from Havana under
sealed orders on July Il. The British resi-
dents at Ruatan were assembled and a
proclamation was read to them by the cap
tain of the Psyche, declaring that under
treaties made between Great Britain and
the United States in 1870. and with Hon
dUras in 1860, his majesty's government
could no longer regard the islands as
British possession, and would henceforth
withdraw all jurisdiction or claim to the
allegiance of the natives.
The population of the islands is almost ex-
clUsiveIy of British origin, coming from
Jamaica, but there are some Americans
from the western states who have recently
come in. English is the only language
spoken. The islands do a large fruit trade,
mainly with New Orleans. The United

A TRUST THAT FAILED.
Tried to Control the Production Of
German Cement

The efforts of the German cement syndi-
cate to control the production and to regu-
late the prices of cement have failed, and
the syndicate has been dissolved Consul
Albert at Brunswick, who reports this mat
ter to the State Department, says that in
the last two or three years so many new
factories have sprung UP that il was i'm
possible for the syndicate to bring them all
under one management, and the competi-
ton which ensued has been disastrous to
the trust AT the same time, dissensiuns
have arisen within the syndicate. While
there was little demand for the brands of
the new factories which had been taken in
to the TRUST. some of the old factories were
overcrowded with orders Comp aints arose
as to the apportionment of sales, some
works declaring that they did not receive
the number to which. on account Of their
productive capacity, they were entitled.
The competition between these different
factories and the continued reduction in
prices. the consul says, must inevitably re-
suit in the destruction of some of them.
The labor market shows the effect of this
according to reliable estimates, the number
of workmen employed in the factories in
creased from 80 600 to 30 .0oo. During the
past year the number employed has reced-
cd below the aforementioned figure, al
though in the meantime the number OF fac
complaints of the workmen is that the
number of hands employed in each factory
is constantly changing, so that the work is
not steady, and no one knows when he VIII
be discharged. Wages have fallen 70 per
cent since 1899.

fected the industry, and the sales Of ce-
ment in Berlin during the past year are

TO SERVE AS PATTERN
THE ANGLO-CHINEsE CONNER
CIAL TREATY.
It is Probable That This Country and
the Other Powers Will Agree to
Conventions on Same Lines.

1t is said here that the commercial treaty
between Great Britain and China, approved
at conference at the London foreign Of
hce yesterday, is to serve pattern for
s. milar treaties to be negotiated by the
other powers with China By the terms of
the Pekin agreement, each of the powers is
to have equal trade advantages and privi-
leges in China, and it was recognized at
the time of signature that Great Britain,
with her large trade interests in the east
would probably be the first nation 20 con-
clude a treaty.
1t is probable that the United States and
the other powers signing the Pekin agree
ment will conclude treaties on the same
lines, so that instead of the composite
agreement as to trade privileges embodied
in the Pekin treaty, each of the powers will
have its own convention with China on the
question of commercial relations.
The revision which Great Britain proposes
to China in the trade treaty, it Is said. ex-
ten6s to nearly every point in which the
United States is interested, from the regis
tration and protection of trademarks, the
creation of a national currency, and the ex-
tension of the bonded warehouse system, to
the reform of the Shanghai mixed court
and the abolition of all internal taxation of
every kind and description, whether native
or foreign or for import or export.
If the provisions which will be embodied
In the British treaty as it is finally con-
cluded, meet the views and wishes of this
government, the United States may accept

But If the results obtained by Great Britain

MAKING OF TYPEWRITERS.
Remarkable Development Indicated in
the Past Decade.

Director Merriam issued from the CEN
sus bureau today bulletin on the manu-
facture of typewriters. The reports show
capital of SS, 400,4:1 invested in the man
ufacture of typewriters and supplies in the
forty-seren establishments reporting for
the United States. This sum represents the
value of land, buildings, machinery, tools
and implements and the live capital util
lied. but does not include the capital stock
of any of the manufacturing corporations
engaged in this industry. The value of the
products is returned at S6.932, ,029, to produce
which involved outlay of $3.50. .4dS for
salaries of officials, clerks, etc; 81, 403, ,604
for wages; S714,721 for miscellaneous eX-
penseS, including rent, taxes, etc, and ST.,
4o2,110 for materials used, mil supplies,
freight, fuel, etc.
Although typewriters We're manufactured
in the United States prior to 1880, the IN
duStry was not classified separately in cen
sus reports until 1890, and therefore no sta
tistics before that date are available. In
1900 the receipts from typewriter repairing
for the United States amounted to S367 176.
This industry shows a remarkable devel-
opment during the past ten years. During
the decade there was an increase of sew
enteen establishments, or 56.7 per cent
while the capital increased S6,97S, GAS, or
1908 per cent. In 1900 the average capital
per establishment was $17S, 1873 compared
with S47,393 in 1890, indicating that the
growth of the industry was due to increase
in the size of esta ablishments as we'll as to
the inauguration of new companies Wage
earners increased 2,7O9. or 1861 per cent,
and the wages paid S1,45S.12S. or 1912 per
cent. In 1890 the amount paid in wages
represented 25 per cent of the value of
products; in 1900 the corresponding per
cent was 341. The cost of materials in
value of products increased s3,3o1 ,9O3, or
91 per cent.

ARRAIGNs THE REPUBLICANS.
Senator Harris Believes Democrats
Have a Good Chance in Kansas.

Senator Harris of Kansas, accompanied
by his wife and sister, will sail for Eu-
rope today. having left Washington last
night.
The senator goes abroad on a special
mission for the Louisiana purchase exposi-
ton, and will be away until the middle
of September. His work in Europe is to
arouse interest in the St. Louis exposition
among foreign cattle raisers.
In discussing this phase of the coming
show just before his departure for New
York, the senator expressed himself as
greatly pleased with his mission, and said
he felt sure he would be able to induce
foreigners not only to exhibit, but to go
to the show and become interested in the
American cattle industry.
Just at this juncture the senator drew
from his pocket a clipping from the Topeka,
Kansas, Capital, which accused him of
''fiunking' and endeavoring to get out of
the country and away from the campaign.
This sort of stuff makes me want to
say something" the senator declared.
There is absolutely no foundation what
ever for such reports as this which is be-
ing circulated throughout Kansas. I am
not running away in any sense. l shall be
a candidate for reelection to the Senate,
and shall be in my state by the middle of
September and engage heartily in the cam
paign.
II believe the democrats have good
chance Of winning in Kansas. When 1 get
into the campaign I shall lay particular
stress on the failure of the republicans
to take any action on the reciprocity
treaties which were drawn along the exact
lines advocated by President Mckinley in
his famous Buffalo speech, but which have
been lying in the Senate committee on
foreign relations for two sessions Of Con-
gress absolutely ignored.
1.-The republicans have lauded President
Mckinley, and justly SO. But they have,
while praising his utterances, and par
ticularly his last speech. failed to act on
it's suggestions concerning reciprocity. 1t
is not alone Cuban reciprocity which they
have let fail. but it Is the whole doctrine
of reciprocity so earnestly advocated by
