Tangled affairs In the National
league are practically unsnarled as the
result OF the telephoning, telegraphing
and comforting of the magnates for
several days. Peace has been made GER
tain by protocol which has made its
appearance. The schedule will be
agreed upon before many days and the
various clubs will have started their
spring training trips.
But by the terms OF the peace

not he is given legal title to the
position OF president of the league, A..

was not regular. The league will go
on. 1t has been agreed that a man
aging and schedule committee shall
have control of the major portion Of
the leagues affairs. James A. Hart Of
the Chicago club is to be the Spald-

One is at once impressed with the
fact that the Germans have been
quicker than other nations to take
advantage Of improved machinery and
methods. An inspection of our ex-
ports to Germany in the last half
dozen years shows an extremely salts
factory increase in our sales of manu-
featured goods, but an analysis of the
character of those manufactures
brings out the fact that a large part
has been in labor-saving machines.
whose economics have at once been
turned against us.
There are some shops IN Germany
that are quite as admirably fitted with
modern machinery as would be cor
responding shops with US, says Frank
A. Vanderlip in Scribner's, and with
such superior equipment and with
labor costing little if any more than
half what our labor is paid, the Ger
man manufacturer will make us look

the most primitive way.
There are $50 miles of these petriied
logs; most of them exceed 100 feet in

two feet. 1t is estimated that there
are still $4,000 of these huge logs to
be fished up, and the wood is fetching

Democratic, the American people would
never consent to poltroOnery.
In the course of his speech, Mr.. For
aker read some editorials from the Den

Colorado, is the proprietor. The edito-
rails maintained that the United States
must retain control Of the Philippines
and put down the instruction among
