Mazatlan, Mex, Jan. 9.-Thirty-

Cotton From East Africa.

Washington, Jan. 1o.-The first ship
meaS of cotton from East Africa as
gell as the first successful crop OF
Egyptian cotton ever raised outside OF
Egypt has just arrived on German
soil, says United States Consul Monag-
CHAN in report to the State depart
ment from Chemnitz. Although con-
sisting of but four bales, the ship
ment is regarded as signifying the
vide possibilities for the future cot
ton import trade for Germany, and
should further efforts prove successful,
German East Africa, says the consul,
may become an important source OF
cotton for German mills. The pro-
duct is of a brownish yellow color aud
has a long silky fibre.
Credit for this achievement, the
consul adds. is to be attributed to the
skill of American agriculturist whom
the German government engaged to 60
to East Africa and instruct tho na-
tives in the method of preparing the
soil planting the seed and harvesting
the product.

Secretary ABoody Injured.

Annapolis, Nd, Jan. 12.-SecretaTy
of the Navy William H. Moody was
seriously, but not dangerously, injured
in the naval academy grounds today By
a runaway accident. Accompanied by
Senator Hale, chairman of the senate
naval affairs committee, the secretary
arrived here at 2 o'clock to inspect
tie new buildings being erected in the
naval academy grounds, being driven
from the railroad station in Superin-
tendent Brownson's private carriage.
The battalion Of cadets were drawn
up in line of salute just inside the
academy grounds, and as the carriage
bearing the secretary, Senator Hale
and their escort, Lieut.. PoyeF, passed
in review, salute Of II guns belched
forth from the guns On tie Santee
wharf. The restive horses attached to
the carriage swerved suddenly and got
beyond the control Of the driver. The
breaking of the pole of the carriage
as the spirited animals dashed down
the roadway served to render them
more excited. The driver, seeking to
stop them, suddenly turned their heads
into a vacant lot between two houses.
Secretary Moody. who had opened
the door of the carriage as the horses
dashed over the frozen ground sudden
ly leaped to the pavement as the car
riage made the turn into the enclosure.
He landed on his face on the pavement
and was rendered unconscious by the
shock. The secretary was carried to
the nearby residence Of Superintendent
Brownson, where he shortly recovered
consciousness. Slight cuts and bruis-
es on his forehead, nose and face are
thought to be the extent of ethe
sec.etary's injuries. Neither Senator
Hale nor Lieut. PogeT was injured,
as The horses were brought up against
wall shortly after making the tura
into the cpeR Bot.

Picture Agents Win.

Washington, Jan. Pin the United
States Supreme Court today an opin-
ion was delivered by Justice Shiras in
the case of E. NJ. Caldwell versus the
State of North Carolina and the city
of Greensboro. The case involved the
validity of an ordinance of the city
fixing license for the sale of picture
frames. Caldwell, who represented
the Chicago Portrait Company, resist
ed the payment Of the license on the
ground that the ordinance is in con-
hict with the provisions Of the Fed
eral Constitution relating to Inter
State commerce. The North Carolina
Trial Courts sustained the validity of
the ordinance and the Supreme Court
Of the State sustained them. The
opinion rendered reversed this YER
diet and the case was remanded 70
the State Supreme Court. Comment
ing upon the case Justice Shiras
said: Transactions between manu-
featuring companies in one State,
through agents, with citizens Of an
other constitute large part of In
ter-State commerce: and for US to
hold with the Court below that the
same articles if sent by rail directly
to the purchaser, are free from State
taxation, but if sent to an agent to
deliver are taxable through license
upon the agent, would evidently take
considerable portion of such traffic
out of the saluatory protection of the
Inter State commerce clause of the
Constitution.

Coal Famine in Pennsylvania.

Reading, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE Phila.

claim that for the week ending tonight
more anthracite coal was taken down
the main. line. than for any previous
week in years. The total is l0, 200 OF
all classes of cars, or nearly 225, tons.
The coal famine throughout this
section has reached such an acute
stage that many industries in the
smaller towns will have to close soon,
and in the country districts the dis
tress is so widespread that teams have
started for the Schuylkill County coal
fields, thirty and forty miles distant,
to supply pressing necessities.
In answer to the criticism that if SC
much coal is mined and shipped, why
it does not relieve the famine, it is
stated that there are many industrial
establishments that do not use coke
or bituminous coal, and that many
scores of these must be supplied with
anthracite to keep them in operation.
