A CARGO OF TEAK WOOD.
Expensive Material to Be Used on the
Cruiser Des Moines.


Special to Times-Republican.
Boston, March 31.-A cargo of teak
has been ordered from Siam by the
Fore River Ship & Engine Company to
be used in the construction of the war
ships which are building in it's yard at
Quincy, Mass, for the United States
navy, and the first vessel in which IT
will be employed is the protected cruz
ser Des Moipes which is to have teak
keel.
Teak is famous for the beauty of Its
grain and it's color, which is yellowish
brown, and years ago was chiefly
known in this country thru the curious
mementoes made from it's wood, which
sailors and travellers brought with them
from the East Indies. The teak tree Is
distinctly a timber tree, however, grow
ing to a height of from 100 to $50 feet,
with trunk twenty to twenty five feet
in circumference and dropping leaves
that are eight to twelve inches long. Its
wood is easily worked, but it is hard,
strong and very durable, and when 1T is
well seasoned does not warp or crack.
Teak is not only a very close hbered
wood, but 1T contains large amount OF
natural oil which preserves it during
the time that ordinary wood put into
ships keel would rot away; and it's
great advantage in the construction of
modern war vessels is th,lt it does not
oorrode iron and steel as most other
available woodstock, for example-do.
Beside it's use in the Des Moines it is
to be employed for backing the heavy
armor belts of the battleships New Jer-
sey and Rhode Island, which, also, are
building at the Fore River yard.

than this revelation. One couiu ieau.Ay

ideas might involve.
That Secretary Root and President
Roosevelt should turn him down
promptly is sequence any rational OBJ
server must concede. Secretary Root
we'll describes it as spectacular enort
that would work untold injury. 1t
would be a confession Of failure not
warranted by the constantly improving
situation in the Philippines. and its re-
suits would be as confusing as they
would prove ahortive of good fruits. In
stead of Fastening it would prolong pa
cification, and give the Filipinos the
well-grounded impression that our
plans are unstable and our purposes
yacillating. It is impossible to consider
this new scheme of General Miles with
any degree of satisfaction or patience
II is not in evidence, at least not on the
surface, that General Miles betrayed an
intense desire to take charge of affairs
in the Spanish war or in the opening
hostiities in the Philippines, and this
sudden awakening is chiefly interesting
in showing how ill-timed it is.

A,mep AZ AMERICAN COMPETITION.

The prohibitory measure recently la
ken by Germany against American
canned meats is less pure food move
ment than one to protect the German
agrarians against the competition of
American producers and packers. The
decree does not, in SO many words, bar
out American meats, but as American
meats are largely treated with boric
acid and borax the measure, which pro-
vtdes against certain preservatiVes,
including the two mentioned, works
practical exclusion. The move is large
" political and cuts off competition
which amounted to 100000 in 1901.
Like Russia's tariff on American ma
chinery and Hungary's prohibition of
American plants and fresh fruit, the
German decree is aimed at the COM
mercial push and position of America.
It was the fear Of competition that
threatened the German producer with
disaster that inspired the prohibitory
decree. Col. John F. Hobbs, editor of
the National Provisioner, says in re-
cent interview: "This Is the shrewdest
trade move Germany has ever made. 1t
will destroy practically the American
meat trade with Germany and place it
in the hands of the agrarians. In
word, it says to the German people,
BUY your meats Of the agrarians. or
etarve' Germany has reason to dis
eliminate In the matter of preserva-
tives, because many of the chemicals
used for the purpose are harmful; but
to decree that borax or boracic acid
could not be used is simply evidence
Of the insincerity of Gernany's move,
as her own commission and her own
scientists have ascertained the harm
lessness of borax. The only American
meat which Is not thus shut out Is the
thoroughly cured salt ham. 1t operates
against pork. mild-cured ham, bacon,
picked pork, barreled beef and sausage.
In the matter of sausage exports alone
from 10000, 900 to 30.oo0.000 pounds an
nually are affected.
1.-THE amount of boracic acid in the
solution used on meats is hardly more
than one-fourth Of one per cent, and
may be blown off and washed off before
the meat is offered for sale. American
exports of fresh beef to Germany have
been cut off already by reason of the
stipulation that the organs of the ami
mails be exposed. When frozen beef
with the organs exposed is defrosted
decomposition sets In and the meat is
spoiled.
Last year there were 100000
pounds of bacon. 100000 of sailed,
picked and other cured beef, and $780,
900 pounds of sailed and picked pork
shipped to Germany. When this decree
goes into effect, on Oct. next, prevent
ing the import of meats preserved with
boracic acid, it win thus mean the loss
of millions Of dollars annually to the
meat and livestock interests of this
country.
"There would be as much sincerity In
saying that anybody might go to the
north pole who wanted to, but that
those who went must not wear cloth
ing. The truth is that Germany is NOR
tally afraid Of Americas position in the
field of world trade. and that therein is
the reason why restriction after re-
striction has been placed upon Ameri-
can products. The elimination is
reached in this decree. That it is
