ENCOURAGEMENT Is made at
~ Washington that the presi
4 n dent has selected the man
whom he Will appoint first
minister to Cuba. The selection falls
on Herbert G. Squiers. of New York.
Mr.. Suuiers was born in Canada Of
American parents. He entered the
West Point academy from New York,
became an officer and served with the
Seventh cavalry. He resigned from the
army, however, and in 1894 entered the
diplomatic service as second secretary
of the United States embassy in Ber-
lin, and held that office until May, 1897.
He was out of the service until Janu-
ary. 1898, when President Mckinley ap-
pointed him secretary of legation at
Pekin, post he now holds although
now in this country on leave of alb
Sence.
In the siege of the Peliin legations by
Chinese troops and Boxers Mr.. Squiers,
on account of his military experience,
was appointed chief of staff to Sir
Claude Mcdonald, the British minister,
who had also been an army officer and
was commanders in-chief of the forces
defending the legations. His gallantry
and efficiency in that trying position
won encomiums from all the legation
ers. He was repeatedly and highly COM
mended in official reports.
Mr.. Squiers. in addition to having a
thorough diplomatic training, including
a perfect knowledge of the Spanish
language, has ample private means to
sustain the expenses of the Havana
mission, which are likely far to exceed
the $4,000 salary asked for by the presi-
dent.

~ the silk industry in the United
L. n States exhibits proof of re-
markable growth. For many
years France had almost a monopoly of
the manufacture of fine silks. The an
nual value OF Frances silk production
is estimated at 122,OOO,OOO In 1889 the
United States produced silk to the value

time, so rapid is the growth of the
domestic silk industry, is in the lead
The leading states for silk manufac-
ture are New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
New York, Connecticut and Massachu-
setts. The greatest growth is noted in
Pennsylvania, which from position of
comparative insignifcance in 1880 has
advanced to the second place. There
are 121 establishments in PENNSYLVANIA,
giving employment to 21,O2S wage earn
ers. New Jersey has $50 establishments
giving employment to 24,157 wage earn
ers. New York gives employment, to

There was an increase of so per cent.

The increase in the value of products
was % per cent, and in cost of ma

the gross products of this industry in
Pennsylvania aggregated $3l,072926 in

growth of this industry in the United
States under the protective tariff has
seriously affected the industry in Ger

annually in this country constitutes a
welcome addition to the incomes of

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

According to the secretary Of the johannes.
burg Chamber of Mines, South Africa, it is
probable that at the end of the next five years
there will be II 600 stamps working in the dis.
trict between the Randfontein and Geduld mines,
as compared with G,O00 at thc outbreak of hos
tilitics and less than 1000 now. This would
mean an expenditure of fully $1a5, 100000, OF
which Il very large part would go to foreign
manufacturers for imported supplies of various
kinds. The machinery requisite to install II 900
new stamps would involve very large expen.
diture. 1t is estimated that while fully seventy
five per cent. Of the mining drills used in South
Africa are OF American manufacture barely ten
per cent. of the complete mining plants, l. e.,
including engines boilers, etc., were purchased
in the United States. Regarding another chan
mel for American enterprise there is likely to he
constantly increasing expenditure on the part
Of the government in establishing irrigation lc-
scrvoirs and canals. An expert report estimates
that an expenditure of $50, 900 could profit
ably be made
Regarding American locomotives the report on
the West Australian government railways Hnd
tlamways, recently issued, states that during 1901
the demand for haulagc power was SO acute and
the facilities for repairs so inadequate that it
became necessary to take steps to meet the
emergency by extraordinary means. In view OF
the long period required by British contractors
in which to complete orders it became necessary
to look elsewhere. The ultimate result was that
Mcssrs. Burnlam, Williams Co. of Philadcl-
pha received cable for the supply of twenty
Baldwin compound locomotives seven months
being given in which to deliver the engines at
Frcmantlc. Although it il necessary specially
TO educate the drivers to operate these engines,
very good results are being obtained from them.
The paragraph concludes with the remark that
had the orders been given to British contractors
in the usual course 4 period of probably two
years more would have elapsed between plac-

A Faithful Bird Mate,

When the British steamship Saxoline
arrived at Wilmington, Del, recently,
the sailors showed to the government
officials, with great deal of pride, a
cage in which were confined two white
birds. 1t appears that when the yes
sci, which sailed last from Cette,
France, was in mid-ocean, white
heron flew against the rigging with
such force as to break its wing, and
causing it to fall to the deck. One of
the crew Immediately took the help
less bird, dressed it's injuries and
placed it in a cage which happened to
be on board. With the heron at the
time of the accident was it's mate, and
when the injured bird was placed in
the cage, the other lowered about and
would not leave the ship. For several
days it remained, and then the sailors
finally opened the cage. The uninjured
bird Immediately joined it's wounded
mate and the two remained perfectly
contented in their confined quarters.
The touching incident made great pets
of the two birds, and from captain
down to cook the men on board the
ship looked after the comfort of the
herons and during the vessels stay at
Wilmington took delight in escorting
visitors to the cage.-Goiden Days.
