TRADE WITH BELGIUM.
Steel Products Extensively Bought by
the United States.

The backbone of the hard times which
have existed in Belgium for many months
appears to have been broken. says Alfred
A. Winslow. United States consul at Liege
under date of October 7. The United States
has done much to stimulate Belgian in
dustries. Steel products Of all kinds being
difficult to obtain in the United States,
Belgian concern has just closed contract
for $1,000 tons Of steel rails to be delivered
to railroad in Maryland. and the consul
says that many smaller orders for struc-
tural steel and for steel rails have been re-
ceived from the United States. Liege mills
practically have closed a contract to sup
ply railroad in this country with sc, 600
tons of steel rails.
Consul Winslow says, however, that the
increase Of business is not one-sided.
American goods are in greater demand than
ever before, farm and Industrial machinery,
electrical supplies and canned and dried
fruits being wanted particularly. Belgian
merchants desire to open direct communica-
tion with American producers of such arti-
cles.

itary Athletes.

CAISklLL, n. Y, October 2S.-Maj Gen.

McLahahan Of Washington, D. c., at Mr.
ncLahahans country home here. Gen.

1t is possible. he said, that the English

tournament at Madison Square next spring.
Such exhibitions, he said, might prove in
terestlng to Americans. as showing the re-
suits OF physical training In England The
Engilsh training, according to Gen Young.
is not superior to the system at West
Point, but Is much better than can be
found at American military posts

MARYLAND SITUATION
PARTY LEADERS TRYING TO STIR
UP INTEREST.
Prospect That the Republicans Will
Secure Four Members Of
Congress.
Special DISPATCH to The Evening Star.

Special DISPATCH to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, October 27.-The
headquarters of both parties are livelier
today than at any time during the present
very dull campaign, and the leaders say
they hope to instill new life into the con-
test SO that the closing week may arouse
the voters and interest them to such an
extent that they will turn out and vote
on election day.
To this end meetings will be had every
night this week, by both republican and
democratic parties, not only in all parts
Of the city, but throughout the counties.
Tonight the democrats will hold their first
and last general city mass meeting at Mu-
sic Hall. The speakers will be Attorney
General Isador Rayner and former U. s.
Senator VIM. Pinkney Whyte. The republi-
cans will hold their last general mass meet
ing in Music Hall on Wednesday night, at
which the orators will be Charles Emory
Smith, former Postmaster General and
Senator Louis E. McComas.
There is no reason now apparent to
change the forecast given The Star last
week, that the republicans will elect at
least four and the democrats possibly two
of the six members of the House from
Maryland. The only change, If any, which
Is manifest, Is favorable to Mr.. Schirm
reelection, which will give the republi-
cans five members instead of four.
End of Strike Favors Republicans.
The settlement of the coal strike has
had a decided and favorable influence on
public sentiment in favor Of the republi-
cans. Whether it will be sufficiently strong
to secure the reelection of Mr.. Schirm is
difficult to foretell. The republican leaders
today claim that their reports indicate
that 1t will and that they will elect all six
of the members.
Mr.. Wachter's reelection is practically
conceded by the democrats. Mr.. l. Free
man Rasin, the city democratic leader, is
taking no part whatever in the campaign
against Mr. Watcher, and his lieutenants
are following his example. In fact, Mr..
Rasin has been out of the city for several
weeks in order his lieutenants say, to
avoid taking part in the contest Tuesday.
as he does not consider it his fight. If ne
is doing anything against Mr.. Schirm 1t
is not evident in public, and should he
pursue his present plan and remain out of
the fight the republicans may carry every
district unless forces not visible are work
ing in favor of the democrats.

CHARGED WITH POISONING.
George Chapman, an American, Under
Arrest in London.

LONDON, October 27-George Chapman,
who came from America in 1893 and who
is now the landlord of a Southwark saloon,
was arraigned at a police court today,
charged with having poisoned young wo-
man who had lived with him as his wife.
1t transpired that this was the third wo-
man who had died within five years in
houses owned by the prisoner, and it Is
said the affair may develop in a manner
similar to that of the celebrated Neill
(Cream) poisoning case in 1892
Thomas Nell (alias Cream), MD, was
convicted In London of the murder by
strychnine of Matilda Clover, an unfortu-
nate woman, October 81, 1892, and was exc

MEXICO BUYS CONTROL.
Government to Be Chief Stakeholder
of the Interoceanic Railroad.

The Mexican government, according to a
report to the State Department Of ]. Con-
zales Pages, United States vice consul at
Vera Cruz, has purchased the major part
of the recent issue Of the Interoceanic Rail-
road Company's bonds, thus obtaining a
controlling interest in the road
The Mexican officials, in effecting the
purchase, were actuated not so much by a
desire to seek profitable investment of
government funds, as by determination to
prevent, If possible, the formation of pools
and trusts" and with view of controlling
the import and export traffic of the repub-
lie. With the control of an important rail-
road like the Interoceanic. the NJ xican
government will be able the report says,
to prevent freight determinations to the in
jury Of native manufacturing and COM
mercial interests.

Gen. Young to Be the Next Lieuten-
ant General

IT do not think that 1 am betraying any
confidence when 1 say that Maj. Gen. S.
B. M. Young will be the next lieutenant
general of the army" said Major General
Corbin today. Then he added, "And his
promotion will be enjoyed by no one more
than by myself
Lieutenant General Miles will retire from
age next August, and this declaration by
General Corbin was inspired by some COM
ment to the effect that the recent appear
ance of his General Corbin's) name in the
monthly army list next after that of Gen
eral Miles pointed out the probable success
sion. 1t is explained that the order of the
names in the list was fixed by the seniority
of the commissions of the officers. General
Young will have about a year to serve in
that grade If he Is made lieutenant general,
and General Corbin will be the senior major
general still.

PERU's COPPER INDUSTRY.
Good Effect Of the Introduction Of
American Methods,

Minister Irving B. Dudley at Lima, Peru,
in an interesting report to the State De-
partment under date OF September H. pre-
sents some facts with respect to the copper
industry Of Peru and American participa-
ton therein. Owing to the fall in the price
of copper the entire industry has under
gone "a certain paralysis" but it is ex-
pected that the energy and ability of
Americans, who have established some Of
the largest plants in Peru, will contribute
to the highest prosperity Of the copper in
dustry. The Introduction of American
methods of exploitation and of American
machinery already has reduced the cost of
production ito an incredibly low figure"
and the building of new railroads has en-
abled even the native miners to find a new
and wider sphere for the industry.
