TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Chief Engineer Says Trouble Was Not
Known on Leaving Southampton.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19-Chief Engf-
neer John Philip, of the steamship ST.
Louis, today made his official report
on the cause of the vessels much
delayed trip from Southampton to
New York. In it he says:
I'm regard to the long passage of
the ship, beg to state that it was
due tv the boiler tubes getting choked
up on the fire side, through tubes
leaking in the back tube sheet The
only cause that I can see for this is
hammering too much at the choked
tubes in the different boxes while we
We're at Southampton, which started a
number of tubes in the back sheet.
The boilers are as safe now in regard
to any part giving way as they were
when built. When we left Southamp-
ton we did not have the slightest idea
of the trouble in store for U.S.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19-James J. Hill
and several members of his family are
at the BOikenhayn. The magnate de-
nies the report that he is en- route to
Europe. He says that his presence in
the East is due solely to desire to
overlook the two big steamships that
are to be launched within few weeks
from the Hanscom yard at New Lon
don. He adds that certain business
matters might receive some attention,
but none was of any great Importance.
NO" he said, rather brusquely, re-
ferring to the report that he was going
across the Atlantic. Il am not going to
Europe. It's about time that the ca
nard was dOWned. 1 came here to take
a look at the ships that are to be
launched shortly at New London for
the service of the Northern Pacific in
the China trade. 1t would be a most
enjoyable trip, I know, to go around to
Seattle in one of them, but 1 haven't
the time to spare"
The Business Outlook.
What do you think of the business
outlook of the country? Will existing
conditions cOntinue?"
With regard to this section of the
United States I cannot speak with
much intelligence, but as for the
Northwest 1 can say that the field
for development is beyond most mems
dreams. Tthen you think of the great
stretch OF country between Lake Su-
perior ana Puget sound and the fact
that for sery square mile there are
on the average only twelve residences,
&c to
and the opportunities.
Mr.. Hill talked away from this sub
ject to the rumors that he would go
abroad to escape the worries that would
arise from the convening of legislatures
of different Western states in which he
is interested.
/ haven't the slightest idea what
is meant by such talk he said 1--WE
have nothing to do with makers
and all we are trying 10 do is to run
our railroad without interfering with
others, and we hope to succeed. Our
line hasn't any more connection with
the Erie than it has with a railroad
whose first spike has not been driven.

there is nothing in common between
the two companies and there is no

Mr.. Hill is uncertain how long his
affairs will keep him here He had a
conference With j. P. Morgan and his
partners today concerning the litigation
TO declare the Northern Securities COM
pany an illegal combination. Privately
Mr.. Hill expresses the greatest conf
dence in his belief that the validity of
the merger Will be upheld in the
courts. He even intimates that the
plan will broaden to include many
more lines.
Mr.. Hill and Vice President James
Gayley, of the United States Steel
corporation. also held q conference.
They are arranging details Of the pro-
posed sale OF the valuable ore lands

spoon. Her ability to feed
NJ herself Is steadily decreasing
Her population increases

II eventually be dependent up
49, on us, as is John Bull The
first six months of last year we sold
her 5000 tons Of meat, 10000 tons OF rye
and 100000 tons Of wheat.
The farmers are objecting to these
imports, and they want tariff. The
truth Is they cannot supply the nation,
no matter what their projection. Their
soil is poor. and they lack the labor to
work their estates The character OF the
empire is changing. a generation ago
the majority of the people were farm
ers. Today two-thrds Of them are en-
gagged in professional pursuits, manu-
features and trade, and there is
steady exodus from the farms to the
cities. The farm hands get low wages
and their hours are long The factory
hands work less and are paid more.
The army has also cut down the farm
employees According to law every
German must be a soldier al about the
time he reaches manhood The chief
headquarters OF the soldier are IN and
about the cities. and the farmer boys
thus get taste Of military life. They
refuse to go back to the farms at the
close Of their service, and grow fewer
and fewer Today the greater part Of
the farm hands are women. and much
farming is poorly done.
THE AGRARIANs.
You have seen mention OF the agrar-
ians in the newspapers, They are the
chief enemies OF American food stuffs.
They fight the Introduction of our pork
and would like to put a big tax on
American bread stufts, Before l came
here ! supposed these men were hard
listed farmers like our grangers and
that their party was party OF the poor
against the rich, Of the farmer against
the monopolist. 1t is not, The agrar-
ians are the mobiles of Germany. They
are the land-holdng classes, and their
relatives, many Of whom are In office
and many in the army
The German empire is divided up into
large estates many Of which have been.
In certain families for ages. There are
also smaller estates but many men
IN the past lived of the income Of their
farms, The most Of them ara extrava-
giant and have large families dependent
upon them. Their sons in the civil and
military employ are poorly paid and
have TO be helped and the result Is II
there is not a profit from the estates
the whole family goes hungry meta.
phorically speaking.
Again the soil OF Germany is poor.
IT cannot compete with our rich lands
or the west, and the land holders are
running behind. They have morteagcd
their estates IN some parts OF Germany
TO 70 per cent Of their value and they
have an interest debt to meet every
quarter Their only hope Is in raising
the price Of food stuns, This means
Keeping our grains out Of the markets.
which so far they have not been able
TO do.
