 A person who studies the voyages of sherry. as shown in tables of exports and imports, Is amazed to discover that of all unlikely places Newfoundland Is one or the great points of import for sherry. Of course, Newfoundland is not wealthy enough to be a sherry-drinking country. The wine is simply sent to 1t to go into pond. One of the great national foods of Germany Is the goose. Christmas and roast goose in Germany are as insepar- able as Thanksgiving and turkey in America But the national bird of the leu ton isn't a Teutonic bird at all. Long. long ago. 1t appears, the Germans ate up all their own geese. and now they go around begging other countries for their geese. Russia has thrown herself into the breach and her peasants are turning into goose farmers. In parts of Russia near the German boundary, the traveller can see herds of geese now instead of herds of sheep.
 How big these goose herds are can be estimated by the fact that more than seven millions of Russian geese were shipped into Berlin alone last year.

 MAN HELD UNDER BOND.
Wallace H. Ham, Treasurer of St. Paups Church, Accused of $104, ,0OC Embezzlement from
 American Surety Co.

Boston, Feb. 25-wallace H. Ham, manager of the Boston branch of the American Surety Company of New York, treasurer of St. Luke's Home for Con- valescents, Roxbury, and until recently treasurer of St. Pauls Episcopal Church in this city. was arrested to-day charged with larceny of $104.o00 from the American Surety Company.
 He was arraigned and held by Judge Ely in $50.000 for hearing March 8. In court George N. Berry counsel for the Surety company stated that although the warrant alleged the appropriation of $1A,000, he was ready to prove that as much as $175.00o had been taken by Ham as manager of the Surety Company.
 MT. Berry also said that Ham was re- sponsible for loss of from $4o,0O0 to $5O, 900 in the funds of St. Lukes Home.
 After Hams arrest the American Sure ty Company issued a statement in which they claimed that the accounts of the St. PauPs church were involved in the gener- al deficit but to what extent was not known.

American Food Goes Across the

 Tables of exports and imports show queer movements of foodstuffs. Almost every country seems to export some foods and to import the same kind, and many countries import certain kinds of food for which they themselves are famous. Russia is famous for the production of caviare. Yet good part of the United States exports to Russia consist of cav fare made along the Great Lakes and Delaware and Chesapeake bays.

There is an American concern that has developed the produc- ton of this same Lind of sausage to a point where 1t Is as good as the French and cheaper. But the world wants the French sausage. So the American pro- duct goes over the sea to France. and in Lyons 1t is packed in new wrappers ard boxes.

THE POSTAL TRIALS.
Counselor Conrad Continues His
 Argument,


 Washington, Feb. 25.-Mr. Conrad, special counsel of the government in the postal trial, continued his argument for the prosecution today. He dwelt at length upon the question of what constitutes a reasonable doubt, and instanced cases where a single juror had hung the jury through a misconception of the meaning of a reasona ble doubt, when he was in- terrupted by MT. Kumler, who charged him with statements that were an i'm putation on the jury in this case.
 A sharp colloquy between MT. Conrad and Mir. Kumler followed.
 Resumlng his remarks. MT. Conrad contended that the counsel for the de- fense had admitted all the allegations of the indictment. This brought Charles A. Douglas to his feet, who denied 1t.
 After some wranRlng. Justice Pritchard told the jury that they understood how the matter was, and directed MT. Conrad to proceed
 Counsel attacked the statements made on the stand by MT. Lawrence regarding his first examination of the Croft fasten- CT in 1895, and said they arc not borne out by the circumstances surrounding 1t.
 MT. Conrad replied that he had a posi- tive duty to perform. He said he had carefully and dispassionately examined the evidence, and a grave doubt had oiAScu Wltn respect 10 the guilt of Samuel A. Croft.
 He had not he said, consulted his as- sociatess about this doubt, choosing to tSke tle responsibility alone but" he continued. T cannot find in this evidence anything that warrants me in saying that 1t justified the conviction of Samuel A. Croft
 It was. however. he added. fixed on his mind unalterably and clearly" that the evidence, piece by piece, had forged links which were woven into adamantlne chains to the body of this crime"
 Mfr Conrad took up the transactions be- tween Lorenz and Machen and said the note for $25O0O had been set up as evil dence of a bona fide contract by confed- crates, the payer and payee. Every piece of paper, he said. tending to prove the vitality of Machen's assignment of his oil interests to Lorenz was missing. Men, he said, may think the refuge of lies will protect them, but the overflowinR scourge will come sooner or later and sweep that refuge away. He bitterly re- hected on MT. Lorenz as a man, said Lorenz had defamed his wlfe's name as written on her bank book by making if the repository for all ill-gotten gains and had used her bank account as a cloak that he thought would shelter him from the searching eye of justice

MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.
Bitter Cold Weather and Both
 Armies Will Suffer.

Tokio, Feb. N.-(Delayed In transmits sion. .J-Three weks ago 1t was thought in some quarters that the opening of the war would be speedily followed by a movement of Russian forces toward the south. Pingyang being picked as their objective point. The appearance later of FSssian scouts in the vicinity of Wiju tendeN to confirm this opinion and creat- ed the impression that there would be an early conflict in that vicinity.
 If the Russians ever intended to make this movement they have apparently been beaten by the rapidly moving Japanese. The latter are said to have a large enough force to check the Russians, thus insuring possession of Korea as soon as they are capable of making an aggressive northern movement themselves. The small bodies of mounted Russians who were scouting south of the Yalu River speedily withdraw to the northward.
 Storms are interfering with naval operations. The Yellow Sea Is being swept by gales, heavy snow is falling and the weather Is bitterly cold. The forces of Japan are going to the front, splendid ly equipped to withstand the cold. but despite their preparations both sides will suffer much during the next sixty days

L4PsINa OF TREATY.
Rejoicing on Isle of Pines at Its
 Failure.

Havana, Feb. 25.-The lapsing of the Isle of Pines treaty on account of its not being ratified within the limit, Is regard ed here to be mainly due to the fact tha, the State Department at Washington did not call attention to the matter.
 It would also appear. however, that the Cuban State Department failed to rcmem- ber this time limit. The treaty was sig'i- ed in Havana, July 2, 1903, and was rati- fled by the Cuban Senate on July Is. sinLe when it has been pending in the United States Senate.
 The last condition of the treaty was to the effect that the notifications would be exchanged in washingon within sevca months of the date of signing.
 Persons interested in securing American sovereignty for the Isle of Pines are ju- bilant at this development, considering it to be a setback which gives additional promise of the final defeat of the propo- sition that the island remain under Gu ban sovereignty.

The fire started from a hot box one of the saving machines, and burnt a little of the woodwork near 1t before 1t was put out by the railroad people. The damage will probably not amount to more than $10 or $15.
 The alarm was first sent in by telephone but a minute later the alarm was turned in from Box IF.
