AUSTRALIANS SHORT CROP.
Two Hundred Thousand Tons Of Bread.
stuffs Will Be Needed.

Two hundred thousand tons of bread
stuffs must be imported from wheat-pro-
ducing centers to Australia during the
coming season to meet the deficiencies in
the harvest of the commonwealth, says
United States Consul Cooling at Newcastle
In a report to the State Department under
date of November II.
The crop in New South Wales, he says,
will not reach 80 per cent Of the quantity
reaped last year. Victoria will require the
importation of 1897 800 bushels of wheat to
supply her needs. The situation Is not so
bad in south Australia. though there the
crop is less than last year. Fifteen thou
sand tons of California flour are already
afioat for New South Wales. San Francisco
Is the natural port for Australia. but the
consul says the price Of California -four has
risen so that the effect will be to divert a
good deal OF trade to Canada. which can
supply hard wheat of class well suited to
mix with California -four.
Importation of such large quantities Of
wheat will have a marked effect on wheat
freight rates. Sixty vessels will be re-
quired. carrying each 5000 tons cargo

NEW WAR COLLEGE
THE CORNER STONE WILL BE
LAID JANUARY 90.
Statue of Frederick the Great, the Gift
of the Kaiser, Will Adorn
the Grounds.

Secretary Root today announced that the
corner stone Of the Army War College In
the Washington barracks reservation will
be laid with appropriate ceremonies on the
22d instant. The details of the program
have not yet been arranged, but the Ma
sonic rites usual to such occasions will be
observed. The President and all the men,
bers of the cabinet will attend. and it Is
probable that Secretary Root will make a
short address. All the troops stationed at
Washington barracks, and possibly those
stationed at Forts Myer, Washington and
Hunt will participate in the ceremonies.
The general scheme for the improvement
Of the Washington barracks reservation
heretofore described in The Star involves
the erection of statues Of notable military
heroes including foreign as well as Amer
lean soldiers. Sites have been reserved FOR
these statues. but the assignments are still
under consideration. Probably the first one
to be put into position will be that OF Fred
erick the Great. which is approaching COM
pletion at Berlin. President Roosevelt mott
fed Prince Henry Of Prussia on the occasion
of his visit to Washington of his acceptance
Of that statue and said 1t would be erected
near the site of the Army War College.
According to a press dispatch from Der
lin. Emperor William. in receiving the New
Year congratulations of the foreign ambas-
sailors yesterday, said to Ambassador
take the statue Of Frederick the Great to
the United States he intended to include
in 1t descendants of German officers who
had fought under Washington.
Pleased With Site Chosen.
His majesty remarked that the Placing
of the statue in the new war college was a
happy suggestion. especially as he under
stood that the statues of other famous COM
manders who belonged to all the world and
to all time would also be erected there.
1t having been mentioned to the emperor
by member of the court that Ambassador
Tower would probably go to Washington at
the time of the presentation of the statue
to assist in receiving the German commits
sion, the emperor said that the ambassa-
doris presence upon that occasion would be
a compliment to Germany and that he
hoped Mr.. Tower would be there.
Herr Uphues, the sculptor, has nearly
| finished his statue of Frederick the Great.
The date when it will be shipped is not
known but it is assumed that it will be
some time in the late spring.

NO SUCH INTEN TON
SENATOR MORGAN NOT DISPOSED
TO HURRY THE PRESIDENT.
Although He Prefers the Nicaragua
Route He Will Await Result
Of Negotiations.

Numerous reports have been circulated In
relation to the alleged intention of Senator
Morgan to introduce resolution in the
Senate when Congress reassembles. pro-
viding that the government Of the United
States proceed at once to the building OF
the Nicaraguan canal, as proper time has
passed since the passage-of the bill author
izing the building of the Panama canal II a
satisfactory title could be obtained to the
property of the New Panama Canal Com
pany on the isthmus It is stated on author
ity that Senator Morgan has not entertained
such an Intention.
Senator Morgan was seen by a Star re-
porter today and asked concerning his at
titude on the canal question at this time.
MY attitude" he replied, "is Indicated
by my vote on the bill that passed the Sen
Spooner amendment. The government is
trying to get the rights for building and
controlling canal at Panama according to
the authority granted in that act. If the
templated from Colombia the President
must turn to Nicaragua and make an
agreement with Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
as have no doubt he can do. and he must
submit to the Senate the form of treaty he
makes.
'Supposing we should meet such a situa-
ton and his treaty negotiated with Mica
ragua and Costa RIGA should be voted down

which makes a legislative agreement in
stead of treaty agreement with those
countries. Such a bill would require only
majority vote in order to pass it.. That
course would be exactly In accordance with
the relation we hold with Cuba today. We
have no treaty with Cuba now and yet she
is enjoying all her rights under the COM
pact between the two countries"
Asked what progress had been made in
the negotiations between this country and
Colombia for acquiring the right to build
and own the Panama canal, Senator Nor
gan replied:
'It is impossible for me to say, because I
do not know what goes on in the State
Department. I do not know whether they
are meeting with success. I do not believe
satisfactory agreement with Colombia can
be obtained, and 1 never have believed it,
What do you regard as reasonable
time for securing satisfactory title to the
Panama property, as provided for in the
Spooner act?" Senator Morgan was asked.
Il think a reasonable time has already
elapsed" he replied. But it Is for the
President to determine what constitutes a
reasonable time The Senate can later de-
termine for itself what is reasonable
time"
Asked if he has made any effort to hurry
action on the part of the administration on
this matter. he replied:
II have not pushed this matter before the
President. nor have L been to see him about
it. 1 propose to let the diplomatic depart
ment take care of itself without any sug-
gestion from me-

Patent Laws Of the Transvaal.

In the current issue Of the Patent Office
Gazette the full text of the patent laws Of
the Transvaal under British government is
printed. This is the first time these laws
have been printed in the United States. and
will be Of interest to inventors and patent
attorneys throughout the country. The
Transvaal Republic and Orange Free State
both had codes Of. patent law that were In
many respects similar. When these two
states were combined under British domin-
ion 1t was a matter Of some moment to in
ventors and owners Of inventions to have
the patent law of the country firmly estab-
lished. Great quantities Of machinery are
used in South Africa for farming, mining
and other purposes. and it was necessary
that the law should be quickly promulgated
in order to afford these inventions ample
protection. Under the direction Of Lord
Miner a code Of patent law has been COM
piled by combining the best features of the
laws which previously existed with that
which is operative in England and other
British possessions. The new law also in
cludes trademark and design section.

Postal Guide and Directory.

The new postal guide for 1908 was dis
tributed throughout the Post ONCE De-
partment today. The new post office edi-
ton of the city directory was also issued
today. The post office edition of the d.
rectory is issued by the delivery division Of
the local post office to the various substa-
tions In order to facilitate the business Of
the office the postmaster has arranged a
system OF subdivisions Of the directory
which have been found to be very conven-
lent. The directory is divided into as
many parts as there are men working on
the distributing cases, the parts having the
portions of the alphabet which the case of
the distributor holds. The use Of the SUBJ
divisions obviates the necessity OF handling
the entire directory when looking up an
fllegbble address and saves considerable
time The directory in this shape Is issued
to all the large substations and the deliv-
cry division OF the main post Office.

THE COAL SUPPLIES
OVER A HUNDRED CAR LOADS RE-
CEIvED HERE TODAY.
Situation Less Strained Than It Has
Been for Two or Three
Weeks.

There Is little II any change in the local
fuel situation. In the Baltimore and Ohio
yards this morning there were fifty-six cars
OF anthracite and fifty-five cars Of bitumi-
nous coal waiting to be unloaded. Another
train OF thirty or more cars was expected
to arrive later In the day. The Pennsyl-
vania brought In the usual supply Of both
kinds today.
The situation at the steamboat wharves
Is much less strained than 1t has been for
the past two or three weeks The steamers
are receiving daily a little more than
enough to keep them running, and a small
surplus. enough to run them a trip or two,
lected
The greater part of the soft coal now
being used by the steamboats, is coming
from the Pocahontas region In Virginia.
No coal Is coming here by canal, as that
waterway has been closed for the winter.
The big tug Chesapeake came into port
yesterday with the barge Sharon Hill:
laden, 1t is said. with about 700 tons OF
hard coal. In tow. The Sharon Hill is the
barge which was reported lost at sea, but
which finally arrived at Norfolk.
Coal. has been arriving Of late in good
quantities at Anacostia. The coal reaches
Anacostia over the freight line Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad. The demand has
been very great the local dealers being i'm
portuned by requests from the city from
Dealers have not been storing any of the
coal in their yards, but instead have been
busily engaged in hauling it directly from
the cars to the consumers.
As much as ton Of coal has been dis
posed Of by dealers to individuals although
the general sale Is in half-ton and quarter
ton quantities. The quick arrival Of the
coal, however, has made it possible for the
persons whose small stock was being de-
pleted to renew it from the dealers without
much inconvenience.
At meeting Of the citizens committee
at the Riggs House this evening report
Of the subcommittee investigating the
question of transportation will be heard,
and it Is expected that something definite
will be made known about the outlook for
an average fuel supply. 1t is thought that
the committee will be able to report about
it's work tonight. although additional time
may have to be given in order that an
swers may be received from the mine oper-
ators and transportation companies.
Secretary Charles F. Weller of the Assoc
ciated Charities is increasing his efforts to
swell the charity fund. The greatest need
for charity work always comes In the lat
ter part Of the winter, when the poorer
classes have exhausted their small savings.
