LEASE OF Gas. WORKS.
inspector Shelton Gives Strong Reas-
ons Against Entering into it.

The question OF the lease OF the City
Gas Works to private parties Is still
q. live topic.
Inspector Joseph NJ. Shelton, in talking
over the proposition yesterday, said:
THE much-talked of movement to buy
or lease the Gas Works is simply, in
my opinion, part OF the scheme to se-
cure complete monopoly of the city's
lighting, both public and private. the Gas
Works now being the only competition
left to protect the people from exorbitant
charges for electric lights.
There will be no proposition to buy
the works, as a thirty-year lease will
accomplish the same result, and secure
the votes of those who oppose sale,
but favor a lease. although 1t amounts
to practically the same thing. OF course.
the nance Of some Of our prominent
business men will be used as incorpora-
tors to secure the confidence Of the peo-
pie.
..It should be borne in mind that the
only purpose OF this proposition to the
Council IS to Ginducc that body to ask
the people to allow them to lease the
work. II the people decide that the works
should DO leased, sealed bids will be CALI
ed for. Therefore. the present offer to
lease can safely be couched in very liberal
and extravaganta terms.
.If these gentlemen propose to give the
city more than the profits now derived
from the works, expend over million
dollars in Improvements and reduce the
price TO consumers several times during
the thirty years Of their lease. the ques-
zion naturally arises. where are they go.
Aug to get their profits
Surely. these New York capitalists are
MOI philanthropists who propose to over
whelm our people with their generosity.
ii is quite evident that they expect to
secure their profits from extra charges
to the consumers ana by reducing the
cost Of production of gas. which consists
principally OF labor and material. They

EMPEROR LIKES

Use of Virginia Bright Tobacco
in Japan-New Scheme to
Kill Off Bugs.

Concerning the position occupied In Ja-
pan by cigarettes made from bright Viz
ginia tobacco. tobacco paper, In q re-
cent issue, has the following:
Native Corean cigarettes retail as low
as twenty for one cent; besides the Japa-
nese cigarettes sell low: but this does nos
preclude growing demand for better
grades Of tobacco. The Virginia bright
cigarette tobacco. long preferred and
smoked by the Emperor himself In ciSa-
rettes and cigars. when smoked are very
thin and smaller than stogies in sizs.
Men, women and children smoke. The
curing of tobacco is in quite q. crude state
This use they will have to learn from
Americans. or the Japs after they have
done so.'
The new scheme OF killing to-
bacco worms comprehends the use
OF choral napthaleum, a substance non
poisonous but as effective as the Paris
green This stuff is familiar to all
the disinfectant used in many of this
large establishments of Richmond and
also in a great number OF private resi-
dcnces. Its use by the public at large
has been up to the time almost altogether
as q deodorent and disinfectant. Tha
fact that it is also an insecticide has been
known to some few persons generally
and to a. small class of tobacco men, par
ticularly the manufacturers who also
have plantations. But the great mass OF
the farmers. it is said, have heretofore
been ignorant of the bug and worm KILL
ing qualities Of the stuff. As a result OF
the disturbance here over the Paris green
matter these valuable facts are brought
out and II they and the other things
claimed for the napthaleum are really
facts, the new scheme is designed to solve
the much vexed question of how to get
rid of the pest and yet do no damage to
the tobacco or to the user of it.
One OF the chief features Of the naptha-
leum is that it is not costly. It can be
diluted to almost any extent. 1t is put
upon the tobacco with an automatic air
pressure spray and by this method the
farmer can cover seven or eight acres OF
his land in a single day. The stuff does
not poison the worm, but makes its pores
contract and thus stops the process of
breathing. The result is that every
worm which comes into contact with the
napthaleum meets death.

TRADE WITH GERMANY
VAST INCREASE IN COMMERCE
 LAST YEAR,
Exports from This Country an 19Ot to the Realm of the Kaiser Larger Than Ever Before.
 Imports Also Increased.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The cordiality of the relations between the United States and Germany is shown more eloquently than by speeches and more forctbly than by the booming of cannon by the figures which show the commerce between the two countries during the last few years; These figures show that the commerce of the United States with Germany exceed that with any other country of the world except the United Kingdom: that our i'm ports from Germany in the fiscal year 1901 were larger than those of any preceding year. with a single exception;. that our exports to that country in 1901 were iarg- our total commerce with Germany in l9ol was larger than in any earlier year.
 This commerce has grown from less than $3O.00O. 600 in 1865 to nearly 800 900 in 1901; or to be more exact, from $29. 9.SlS,- S45 in 1865 to $292, ,226, 329 in 1901, the total for 1901 being practically ten times as great as that of 1S65.
 An examination of the details shows that the per centage of increase in inn ports from Germany has been greater than the per centage of growth in ex- ports to Germany. the figures being: Im- many in 1865, s, o6s, 743; in 19Ol. $100. B,9o2 On the other hand the exports from the United States to Germany were in 1885, go, 315, 1o2; in 1901, $f9l, ,7S0,427. Thus the imports into the United States from Ger many are more than ten times as much in 1901 as in 1865, and our exports ts Ger many about nine and one-half times as
