respectively. TO Russia, Holland. Tunis.
Italy. Switzerland. Spain and the French
colonies. The value Of the exports
to other countries. not i,emioed, was

Some Trustworthy figures furnished
not long ago concerning the automobile
business in France serve to explain how
that country is able to meet the demands
OF its outside trade while supplying the
market at home. Between seventy and
eighty concerns are engaged in the
manufacture Of these vehicles, and their
employees number about 5000. Nearly
three times this number Of nen are en-
gagged regularly in producing automo-
bile accessories and tires, % that the
total force employed in the various
branches Of the industry aggregases not
far from 20, 900 hands The tire industry
alone is shown 70 be enormous, the esti-
mated value Of the output Of the different
French tire manufacturers for 1860 being
from 5000 go 10 100000.
The foregoing facts leave no doubt Of
Frances present supremacy over all
other countries in the production Of these
modern vehicles How long she viii be
able 10 maintain her lead is something no
one can say Germany is now her most
formidable competitor. while Belgium
and Italy are both making serious in
roads upon her trade So far, the United
States competition with France has
been rather feeble, although reports
rendered from time to time show that
the value OF our exports OF automobiles
is increasing steadily at the rate Of sew
eral thousand dollars q month
Whether or not our manufacturers
ever succeed in overhauling their dis
tant contemporaries, IL is interesting TO
note the sentiment prevailing in some
parts Of France on this subject. The
head OF one Of its prominent automobile
concerns expressed the belief short
time ago that the manufacturers there
ought to look out for an American in
vasion. l greatly fear said he, the
Yankees will do as they did with the
bicycle come years ago. They are smart
and smooth and don't mind spending a
lot OF money to advertise properly

Frances Trade in Autom obiles and
Ours.

A good deal has been heard concerning
the demand in nearly all civilized coun-
tries for automobiles made in France.
Various estimates have been made as to
the extent Of Frances export trade in
these vehicles. Statistics now at hand
show precisely what this trade amounted
to last year 1t is seen to have been
enormous-probably far in excess Of the
most sanguine expectations Of the manu-
facturers themselves.

SPREcKELS'S DAUGHTER SUES.
Wants Property She Gave Back to Him
After Her Runaway Marriage.

San Francisco, July ia cable de-
spatch from Honolulu says that Mrs.
Emma Spreckels Watson, only daughter
of the sugar millionaire. Claus Spreck-
els, has begun suit there for possession
Of q business block worth 100000 and
for 100000 damages for being deprived
of the rents for five years.
This suit recalls a peculiar quarrel
that resulted from the sudden and Sc
cret marriage OF Emma Spreckels in
1897. The millionaire guarded Emma
carefully from fortune hunters as he
had given her more than 100000 In
her own hight. Among the friends
who dined often at his house was
Thomas Watson, a grain broker. who
was old enough to be Emma's father.
He courted the girl, however. and she
married him at San Jose without noti-
flying her parents. Spreckels was saw
agely angry, as he had just built new
house and expected his daughter to
preside over it. He called Watson a
fortune hunter. A few days after her
marriage, the daughter decided back to
her father a block on Market street and
the Honolulu property and also trans
ferred bonds worth 100000. The
father never saw her after the marriage
Spreckels's friends cut Watson and he
was forced to leave the city. He went
to Lower Kingsford. Surrey. England
where he Is now chairman of the Parish
Council.
One year after she had transferred the
fortune back to her father Emma evil
IDENTIFY repented and made a formal de-
mand on the tenants for rents Of the
Honolulu property. Her lawyers al
legged that as her husband had not
signed the deed the transfer was lille
gal under the Hawaiian law. The
present suit will be made on this
ground, but Spreckels will fight 1t. de-
spite the fact that he recently cleared
up $2.5OO,O 900 on a gas and electric deal

FOXY GORMAN.
His Deep Laid Plan to Get Democratic
Nomination in 1904.

Washington, July lit is quite
generally believed now among politi-
clans here that what is said to be
Senator Germans plan for securing the
democratic Presidential nomination is
a wise and well laid scheme. 1t is as
serted Ivy many politicians that Senator
German went to Europe not only to
recuperate, but also to keep himself
from being talked about too much be-
fore the Democratic convention. 1t is
his policy it is said, to give the other
candidates all the rope they wish in the
matter of newspaper gossip and to
remain in the background until Con-
gross meets.
Senator German doubtless realizes
that after many of the other aspirants
are viewed thoroughly, fault will be
found with them. 1t is his plan. some
assert, to let the others be talked out
and then get himself talked in.
The visit Of Judge Parker to Atlanta
from all reports that have been re-
ceived here does not seem to have
benefited him much so far as what
ever Presidential aspirations he may
have are concerned. In fact it is as
serted by people who profess to know
that his reception in the Southern city,
While cordial, lacked the warmth,
which it was expected to elicit. The
view is expressed that Judge Parker
proved his intellectual worth and his
ability as a lawyer, but that he failed
to show any Of that personal magne-
tism that can sets votes.
When Senator German returns from
abroad he will have splendid orportu-
nifty to show his ability in the Senate.
The next session is the long session of
Congress and will likely extend into
June. Furthermore, Congress will be
called in extra session on Nov. 9 or
thereabouts to consider Cuban recipro-
city, Senator German has been chosen
the leader of the Democrats in the
Senate and will not only in the extra
session, but also in the coming extra
session be in full view Of the public.
The Democratic convention will come
right on the heels Of the closing session
and prior to that time the people will
have an opportunity of giving MIR. Cor
man a thorough discussion, measuring
him largely by what he accomplishes
| in the coming sessions.
1t IS very frequently the case that
prospective Presidential candidates are
| brought forward too soon and become
shop-worn before the time for the NOM
mating convention. Mr.. German
| friends are relying on his conservatism
and the confidence the business
element have in him. They also argue
| that his wide personal acquaintance
with public men and public questions
should have weight in his favor. Also,
| they say, he is conversant with all
| factiona! party fights in various States
and could more easily smooth out these
troubles than a man who has never
been in politics.

TUNNELED OUT.
Four Convicts Escaped from
Dannemora, N. Y, Prison.

Plenty Of Food and Each Is a Des-
perate Man,

Plattsburg. N. Y, July 19.-After
searching all last night and today, War
den Deyo and his force of guards have
been unable to locate the TOUR convicts
who escaped from Clinton prison at
Dannemora, yesterday.
The four men must have been at work
for the past three or four months in
digging the subterranean passage way
from the cellar Of the factory to The
sewer, distance of over Is feet, and
even now 1t Is impossible to surmise
what they did with the earth which
they dug out of the hole in the ground
The men were each supplied with a
large tin pail, it is said, which they
|at some time or other had smuggled
out OF the tin shop and it is believed
the pals are filled with food. With
this supply of food, together with what
berries. apples, garden vegetables and
other stuff they can get, it is believed
that they can subsist for weeks with
out being obliged to beg food
Peter Jacobs. one of the men who
escaped, is under life sentence. hav.

said, for shooting a banker of Troy,
N. Y, some years ago. He is a des-
perate criminal and is expected to fight
to a finish before he is overpowered.

FOREIGN CROPS.
Winter Cereals Generally Are
Showing Great Improvement.
Less Winter Wheat in France-Eng.
lands Wheat Crop Falls of.
An Estimated American Crop Of $751;.
4. Sk3,964 Pounds.

Washington, July 19.--The foreign
crop report Of the department of agri-
culture, just out, based on prices re-
ceived by the foreign statistical agent
of the department at London as late as
July 1, is in brief as follows:
In Russia meteorological conditions
have been in the highest degree favor
able for the development of cereal
crops in most parts of European Russia
and harvest prospects are considerably
improved even, in regions where condi-
lions at the beginning of spring were
unfavorable.
In Germany a great improvement in
all the winter cereals, particularly in
winter rye, has been shown in the last
month.
Only an approximately good medium
harvest of the spring crops in Austria
is to be counted on at the best. Maize
promises we'll there.
In Hungary unless there is more i'm
provement before harvest, which is
hardly expected, this years out turn of
the cereals will fall considerably below
that of 1902, the deficiency in the case
of wheat being about Is 1-2 per cent.
Most of the Bulgarian crops are re-
ported In very good condition.
Storms and floods have caused extern
sive damage to crops and vineyards in
Italy.
In France the estimated area of Win
ter wheat is 6S1,724 acres less than in
1902. A marked Improvement in wheat
and other crops occurred there during
June and the crops are now doing we'll.
Generally favorable reports come
from Denmark. !,
In Great Britain, the wheat crop is
everywhere somewhat lower and hardly
can come up to an average yield. Ad-
vices to the department from the gov
eminent of India estimate the total
wheat crop harvested there in the spring
of 1909 at 290,261, 104 bushels against a
yield of 226.37O, 800 bushels in the previ-
Gus year.
The final estimates of the department
on the tobacco crop of 1902 in the Unit
ed States are announced as follows:
areage, 1,O3O,734; production, S21, $685.
1854 pounds; value, $57, 563,510.

Scientists Working on It in Secret
Preparing for Tests.

Washington. July 7.-Scientists under
the direction OF Professor Langley. secre-
tary of Smithsonian Institution. are
working necessarily to complete the
aerodrome devised by Professor Langley.
and get it in condition for practical tests.
but thus far 1t is uncertain when the tests
will be made. Professor Langley has
been out Of the city for some time, but he
is keeping in touch with those who are
working on his machine. The work is be
ing done by trained men, In building
rigidly guarded from the public A house
boat similar to that used by Professor
Langley in his experiments several years
ago is moored at a wharf here. and may
be moved with the apparatus on board, to
some point down the river. where the
actual tests are to be made. The spot Sc
lected for the previous tests was near DC
caquan. Va. about thirty miles down the
Potomac and the same place may be re-
visited. The scientists now working Sc
cretly on the device are trying to reduce
the weight Of the motive power to an I'M
precedented lghtness, and are seeking
with the most minute mathematical meas
urements to adjust all the parts so as to
accomplish the most perfect balance and
to insure the safety of the machine in its
flight, while at the same time to secure
the rapidity necessary to overcome graVl-
tation.

vices have reached officials here from
Caracas regarding the recent arrest and
Imprisonment there Of a man named De

COCHRAN IN ENGLISH POLITICS.
Makes FREQ Trade Speech at Liberal
Dinner and Arouses Criticism.

London. July 1?.-Bourke Cochran
was a guest last night at a house din
ner at the National Liberal Club, some
Of the members of which believe that
they have secured in Mr.. Cochran an
orator for the anti-protection cam
paign in England. In speech at the
dinner Mr.. Cochran dwelt upon the adj
vantages Of free trade generally and
with reference to Great Britain par
ticularly.
IL is understood that there was con-
siderable opposition among a group OF
the members to inviting Mr. Cochran,
owing to his past declarations against
Great Britain. Some Of the news
papers condemn the club for inviting
him to the dinner.
The Earl Of Darlington presided at
the banquet, at which twelve members
of Parliament. mostly Irish, were
