BRITISH VIEW OF TENNIS.
Allows That This Country is Equal to
England in Singles.

LONDON, September 25.-The official re-
port of w. H. Collins, president of the
Lawn Tennis Association, of the tour of
the British lawn tennis players in the
United States frankly admits that the 're-
cent contests demonstrated that the Ameri-
cans possess two singles, players as good
at least our best, but in doubles we have
a pair better than anything they can for
the moment produce"
Mr.. Collins refers to the differences in the
games as played in America and England
and suggests that the United States and
Great Britain adopt a uniform pattern of
nets, center straps, cords and post sup
ports. He considers the American courts
to be above the average tournament
courts in the united kingdom" and ac-
knowledges the excellence of American
balls, but says they are deader than the
English, and thinks the elasticity of balls
should be standardized, as well as their size
and weight. Mr.. Collins also criticises,
mildly, the laxity of American officials in
penalizing foot faults and recommends
that future International tournaments
should include one days rest, 80 that. this
country might play the same men in sin
giles and doubles.

CONDITION OF ENGLISH LABOR.
Prof. John Gray of Chicago Tells of
His Investigation.

CHICAGO, September 25.-After four
months spent in the investigation of labor
unions and their effects on production In
England, Prof. John H. Gray of North
western University has returned to Evans
ton. While he refused to give out the spe-
cific results of his mission until his COM
plete report had been placed in the hands
of the United States commissioner of labor,
Carroll D. Wright, he admitted that sur
prising new light would be thrown Gil the
state by the statistics gathered abroad.
English labor organizations are much
stronger than our own,'' said Prof Gray
last night 1.-The members of a union in
England hang together much better, and
there is less internal strife to defeat the
aim of the union. AS result these bodies
are able to accomplish much more than
their prototype in this country. The labor
ing man in England as distinct from his
organization, on the other hand. is worse
off than the American laborer. This is
partly due to his own shortcomings. for he
Is not SO capable as the American work
man. Cooperative societies are doing a
great work in England for the toilers That
they are a wonderful success is indisputa-

NOT OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.
Rumor Of Death Of the Emperor OF
Corea.

In a dispatch from Seoul, Corea, the cor
respondent of the Paris Figaro says it is
reported that the Emperor of Corea is
dead.
The rumored death Of the Emperor of
Corea fails to find confirmation in any Of
fetal quarters here. The suggestion is
thrown out that a mista axe has probably oc-
CURED through the postponement of the cell
ebraton of the emperors birthday and ac-
cession to the throne. The emperor was
fifty years of age September g. and he as
sumed the throne October -, 1897. He had
contemplated the celebration of the ami
versary of these two events on the latter
day-October IL next, but the State De-
partment was not long ago advised tnat
this celebration had been postponed for a
year on account of the prevalence of chol-
era In Corea. 1t Is assumed that loose
statement Of these facts has led to the cir
culation Of the report Of the death of the
emperor.

German Southwest Africa,

According to United States Consul Win
ter, at Annaberg, in a report to the State
Department, the foreign commerce Of Ger
man Southwest Africa made favorable
progress in 1901. The exports increased
from $2l4200 in 1899 to s297,5O0. This In
crease consisted chiefly of guano, which Is
almost exclusively in the hands Of a large
English establishment in Cape Town. Os-
trich feathers are rapidly becoming an arti-
Gle Of export. In former years the ma
tives were in the unrestricted possession OF
firearms, ana it was their chief delight to
shoot these profitable birds. Today the nas
tives are permitted to have arms only In
limited quantities, therefore the ostrich cul-
ture is beginning to revive The imports
into German Southwest Africa increased
from 81, ,666,000 in 1900 to S2,3S0,000. The
chief articles imported are railway ma
terials, bridges. cement, lumber, beer and
coal.

TO PREVENT A HOARD
TREASURY PROGRAM TO KEEP
MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
Will Anticipate Interest Maturing Be-
tween October l and End of Fiscal
Year at a Rebate.

F. Secretary Shaw made an important state
ment at the Treasury Department today
on the treasury's attitude regarding relief
for the money market The statement indi-
Gates that money will continue to be de-
posted with repositories as fast as the
receipts will allow. In addition the inter
est of bonds maturing between October 1
and the end of the fiscal year will be an
ticipated. The statement is follows:
Treasury Statement.
Money once covered into the treasury
(and this. of course, includes the sub
treasuries) cannot thereafter be deposited
in banks. All custom receipts are by law
payable to the treasury and subtreasuries
The only fund therefore available for de-
posit in banks is internal revenue and mis-
cellaneous receipts before they have been
actually covered into the treasury. These
amount to about half a million per day,
and since the Stringency arose to their
fullest extent have been steadfastly return
ed to circulation. This policy will be con-
tinued for thirty or sixty days, if needed,
and longer If necessary.
I'm the meantime national bank circuia-
ton has been increased about seven mil
lion dollars, largely induced by the distri-
button of deposits, and the further increase
to the amount of eight millions is assured.
''All rumOrS of experiments have been I'M
authorized by the Treasury Department.
1t is to be hoped that the public will place
no credence IN vagaries started by ire
sponsible and Entrusted men of the street.
1t is also hoped that the country will under
stand that the Treasury Department, to the
extent of its ability. will stand by the
banks, east and west, north and south, and
it is hoped also that the banks will st and
by every business and every interest that is
worth protecting.
THE only may to ret money out of the
treasury into circulation after it has been
actually covered in is by the payment of
legal obligations of the government. These
may be anticipated. The department did
anticipate the October interest. 1t now Of
fers to anticipate all interest maturing be-
tween October l and the end of the fiscal
year, if presented within sixty days, at a
rebate of two-tenths of l per cent per
month, which is at the rate of "a per cent
per annum. In other words these obliga-
tions will be prepaid at such a rate as to
allow the government to profit thereby at
"a per cent per annum. The amount ma
turing before June 30, 1903, is in round
figures $2o650,O00. The profit to the gov
ernment, If this offer shall be accepted,
will be in round figures s22O,OO0.
There will be no experiments tried and
no policy adopted until after mature de-
liberation and no feeers will be sent out
Anything to the contrary should be dis
credited

WORKMEN EFFACE COLOR LINE.
White and Colored Screwmen Amalga-
mate in New Orleans.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW ORLEANS, La, September %
The white and colored cotton screwmen of
New Orleans have agreed to form a COM
bination which wholly aboishes the color
line as far as this particular labor is con-
cerned. The combination is for the pur-
pose of gaining solid strength for a de-
mand upon steamship agents for increased
pay, fewer hours and the abolition of the
"chute" system, which reduces the num-
Der of men employed. The work will be
equally divided, white and black screwmen
working exactly on the same plan.
This revolution in the matter Of distinc-
tion between white and colored labor has
created a sensation in labor circles where
numerous strikes are now progressing and
may lead to other amagamation of white
and colored kindred organizations. The
agreement of the conference is to be rati-
fled tonight. There are nearly 1900 white
and colored screwmen at this port, the

Charlemagne Tower to Be
Ambassador to Germany.
STATEMENT IN BERLIN
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SELECTION
CONFIRMED HERE.
1t is Regarded as Likely That Minister
Bellamy Storer Will Be Promoted
to the Embassy to Russia.

BERLIN, September 23.-President Roose-
telt has chosen Charlemagne Tower, am
bassador to Russia, to succeed Dr. White
as ambassador to Germany. Notifications
of this decision and that Dr. Whites letters
partment have reached the foreign Office
here.
The appointment of Mr. Tower had been
expected here for several weeks. As he
was passing through Berlin six weeks ago
he gave hint to one or two of his friends
that he might be transferred to this court.
DR.. White will probably not have his
farewell audience of the emperor November
z his birthday, as had been Professionally
arranged because his majesty leaves No
vember for England. The retiring am
bassador. therefore. is not likely to present
his letters of recall until about the middle
of November.
The announcement of the appointment Of
Charlemagne Tower as ambassador to Ger
many to succeed DR.. White is confirmed
here. 1t Is likely that official announce
ment OF the change will be made soon
either by President Roosevelt himself or by
the State Department.
Mr.. Towers acceptance of the German
mission will create vacancy in the am
baSSadorship to Russia which is held now
by him 1t is regarded as quite likely that
he will In turn be succeeded by Mr.. Bell
amy Storer, present minister to the court
of Madrid. 1t is intimated further that
the vacancy in the Spanish mission may be
filled by the appointment of Mr.. Henry
White, present secretary of embassy in

CAMPERS AND THE LAW

Complaint is made that a large
number of people are now camping
in Colorado without securing per>
mits from the county authorities as
required by law.
Most of these violations arise
through ignorance, as the law calls
ing for permits was only recently
passed and is not as yet generally
understood. In order to guard
against forest fires all persons who
camp outside the county in which
they reside are required to secure
permits from the county clerk Of
the county in which camping is
done. Such permits must at all
be produced and shown to game
wardens or other officials. Mons
residents OF the state shall not camp
within forest reserves until they
have secured, at their own cost,
the services of a warden. Such
warden will be held responsible for
any fires that may occur in his
vicinity.
These regulations, are not harsh,
and do not in any way restrict the
pleasure Of the campers. They are
intended as safeguard, for the
reason that Colorado has suffered
great annual losses owing to the
destruction of timber from the
spread of fires lett by careless cam
pers.
An understanding Of the law
and its application will save much
trouble to tourists and other camps
ers who have turned to the moun-
tains for recreation this summer
