NEW INDUSTRY
OFFERS ITSELF
Millions to Be Made by
Successful Raising
of Goats.
Home Supply Of Skins Falls
Short Of Demands of
Manufacturers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1906 G STREET N.
w, WASHINGTON, Sept. "a new in
dustry is offering itself to the farmers
and manufacturers Of the United States.
The fact that S25,0OOOOO worth of goat
skins are now annually imported into the
United States, and that her enterprising
manufacturers are now obliged to send
halfway around the world for large
snare Of them, suggests that the farmers
OF the country have a great opportunity
10 put a large share of this sum in their
own pockets. and that the entire sum
may be divided between our producers
and manufacturers.
A statement just presented by the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor,
through its Bureau of Statistics. shows
that imporratO Of gOatskins into the
United States are now running at the
rate Of SO 100000 per annum and that a
large share of these are brought from In
dia, China, Arabia and Southeastern Rus
sia- The increasing popularity of certain
classes Of kid leather for footwear as
well as gloves, has Increased very greatly
the demand \for goatskins in the United
States within recent years. In 1855 the
value Of goatskins imported was about
8. 600. .O00 by 1890 il had grown to S9, 900 900,
by 1888 it was SIS, 900 900. in 1900 it was s22-
100000 and in 1903 S25, 900, 900, in round num-
bers
OF this large sum of money sent out Of
the country to purchase goatskins s., ,000,-
600 went to India, nearly 50 600. 600 to
China, 81 900 to France, $1.5O0OO to
Russia. Sl,5O0,000 to Brazil, 81 900 900 to Ar
gentina and 100000 to Arabia. From
India. which took less than s.. 900 600 worth
of merchandise Of all kinds from the
Tinted Ia 81 nd ha- sad
her purchases from US less than S2 900 900
in a decade, we have increased cur impor-
tations of goatsldns alone from 81 100000
in 1892 to 81 800 900 in 1902 From Brazil,
which has reduced her imports from the
United States from $15, coo, 600 in 1895 to
$0,00),000 in 1898, our purchases of goat
skins last year were Sl,5OO0 900. France,
Russia, the United Kingdom, Turkey in
Europe and Turkey in asia. Arabia,
China. Southern Africa, Argentina and
Mexico also contribute Iiberauv TO the
supply of goatskins 10 make up the S25,-
0o0 600 worth of this product brought into
the United States annually.
The farmers Of the United States are
apparently making no effort to reap any
part Of this golden harvest for them
selves. The census of 1900 showed the
total number Of goats in the United
States to be less than 2000O0 and when
il is understood that the skins Of probably
20 600 900 goats were required to make the
IS 900 900 worth imported last year, 1t
would be seen that the supply from the
United States could have formed but
small share Of the total consumption
Yet the fact that large share OF our
supply Of this important import comes
from India China. France and Mexico,
suggests that there are large areas in the
United States which might produce goats
successfully and in sufficiently large
numbers TO supply the entire home de-
mand.

KOSSUTH PARTY
SAVES HUNGARY
Declares Against Any
thing in the Shape Of
a Revolution.
Belief Is Strong That a New
Ministry Is About to
Be Formed.

VIENNA, Sept. 2O-Count Hedervary,
who placed his resignation as Hungarian
Premier in the hands of Emperor Francis
Joseph some time ago, had audiences with
the Emperor both yesterday and to-day,
which, it is rumored, have led to the solu-
ton of the Hungarian Cabinet crisis, and
Ministry will be formed either by Count
Julius Andrassy or Koloman Sell Should
this news be confirmed it will be due to
the correct and patriotic attitude of Fran
els kossuth and his party. Kossuth and
his party declared Fesolutely against any
thing in the shape Of a revolution, and
even forbade any street demonstration on
the anniversary of his fathers birthday
1t is understood that the semi-oficial
communication made yesterday, explain
ing away the unfavorable construction
placed in Hungary on the army order is
sued by the Emperor on September IL, will
be issued in the form of an imperial auto
graph rescript addressed to Count Heder-
vary, and this proof that the Emperor did
not desire to ruffie Hungarian suscepti-
bilities will be emphasized by another
imperial visit to Budapest as an indtca-
ton of his continued confidence and good
will.

name of Earl Sears. who lives On Six
teenth street, near Fruitvale avenue
Dearborn took George to the County JAN
in Oakland, where he was cared for py
the matron, who gave the little wait a
bath and put him to bed. After a nights
sound sleep the boy told of his wander
ings for the last four days. He said that
on Tuesday his teacher, in the second
grade at the Washington Grammar
School in San Francisco, gave him III
cents for going on an errand, and after
school was out he went to the ferry and
took the boat to Oakland. He says he
left the train at Fruitvale avenue and
after playing around until dark went to
sleep in a field. In the morning he went
out the avenue and spent the day wan
dering around near the Hermitage. That
night he slept in a shed.
On Friday morning George came back
to the station and that night slept in
field. On Saturday morning he met the
Sears boy and the two spent the day
"out camping" When night came the
Sears boy was afraid he would be pun
ished for staying away from home all
day; so they went down to the Fruit
vale station to sleep. They were found
there by Constable Dearborn, who took
young Sears home and then brought the
other runaway to the County Jail.
The little fellows case will be placed in
the hands of the Associated Charities of
San Francisco. as the authorities have
not yet been able to locate the boys
father, who, as far as can be learned,
made no effort to find the runaway after
his disappearance last Tuesday afternoon.

REVIEW OF WORLDS HISTORY.
Max Nordab Deeply Deplores the
Growth of Military Imperialism
in the UnIxed States.

Vienna, Jan. 2--In the course of an
exhaustive review of the history Of
the world, contributed to the Neu
Erie Presse by Max Nordau, the writer
deeply deplores the growth of milf
tary imperialism in the United States,
and says that by the admission of the
spirit of militarism which was former
ly vigorously excluded America is rails
ing obstacles to the entrance of the
emigrants whose only capital is their
strong working arms.
Speaking of the future of the new
world, Nordau says the opening OF
the Panama canal under American
ownership will mark the beginning Of
a new epoch. The tragic stage of the
worlds history, which in ancient times
conferred in the Mediterranean, and
which moved in the naval ages to the
Atlantic, will then be transferred to
the Pacific ocean, At first the Anglo
Saxon element will seek to drive ont
the German and French flags floating
over single points in the Pacific
ocean; then the struggle will be car
ried further to the Asiatic coast,
where Anglo-Saxons and Russians will
have to decide the momentous ques-
ton of whether Eastern and Southern
Asia shall remain British or Russian.
To this forecast M. Nordau adds;
Zone can only imagine with horror
what such a gigantic struggle OF ma
tons and races will signify"

Tuesday night the comedians pro-
duced new comedy drama by How
ard Wall, entitled in Dixie Land"
and it proved to be one of the best
plays ever produced in this city. The
story is effective and well told and
while portions of the play are rather
sensational still the author has avoid
ed the inconsistencies Of construction
so often found in the average comedy
drama.
Mr.. Conroy has been careful to so
cast the mauy well balan led parts in
the play that they hold their natural
value TO the audience.
Several changes have been made in
the company's roster since last season
and the new members fit their respec-
tive parts perfectly and the company
is stronger and better tnan in former
years.
New vaudeville features are intro
duced between the acts. Ladies bar

COAL FAMINE TERRITORY BROAD
In Maryland, the District of Columbia,
Virginia and West Virginia Fuel
of All Kinds Is Short.

Baltimore, Jan. 2.-The 100000
persons of Maryland, the District OF
Columbia, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia are feeling the effects of the
coal famine. Few towns are supplied
with anthracite, and in many there is
a shortage of all kinds of fuel In the
smaller towns the residents substi-
tute wood for coal, but in the larger
places this has not been possible. In
some entire counties nothing but wood
is used. At some points near the coal
fields, such as Roanoke, coal is higher
than at points more distant from the
mines. In West Virginia, owing to the
wide distribution OF coal-producing
areas, there is not likely to be much
distress. Although the industries are
suffering Washington and Baltimore
are getting along with soft coal at
advanced prices. The commerce of
both Baltimore and Norfolk is suffer
ing because of shortage.
