GERMAN TRADE.
How It Is Being Pushed All Over the
 World.

AAOW At To 4'CA&AS | ttoAiSA All OtCl tAiS
 World.
 We came down from Rome to Naples, there took the splendid. great steamer Kiachaou of the Hamburg-Ameri- can line, which was crowded with pas- sengers for India, China and other countries of the far East, where the
 Germans have commenced an active commercial crusade. No nation is working so hard or so systematically to increase its exports. The Emperor and his government and the parilment have joined with the commercial and industrial organizations and are send- ing subsidized steamships to every port, carrying the products of the German manufactures. In every town of any importance from one end of the earth to the other you can find German merchant; upon every steamer and ev- cry railway train German commercial traveller and the government has pro- vided the means for it's manufacturers to reach their customers and deliver the goods.
 This is particularly true in the far East, where the Germans are pushing the English out of the trade. Twenty years ago Englishmen controlled every thing. They had ten establishments to one of any other nationality. Now the Germans surpass them in numbers, in capital and in enterprise, wherever you go; in South America, in China, or in Africa. The German steamships to the East are winning patronage away from the old conservative English lines by sending frequent steamers with the best of accommodations and by their efforts to please. The English lines have been running on their reputation for years but the Germans have compelled them to build new ships and modernize the service. Half the passengers on the German ships are Englishmen, who give good reasons why they prefer them to their own.
 A few years ago a German steamer was seldom seen in the Suez Canal. Last year they were second in number among all the nations. The report of the company shows that 3,70S steamers passed through the canal in 1902, having total tonnage of 11,24S,413 tons. Of these 2165 were English steamers of 6,772,911 tons, while 4S0 were German steamers of 1,7O7,3 tons. You will mo- tice that the German steamers must have averaged very much larger than the English, because the tonnage is out of proportion to the numbers, and that illustrates the condition of the trade. The Kiachaou is named after what
 we may call the German province in China, a city in Shantung, which the Kaiser seized because of the murder of two Jesuit missionaries who had been expelled from German only a few months before. They are working slowly but surely to Gernanize the pro- vince, so surely that i'll few years you will hear of a repetition of the recent experiences with manchuria. except that German instead of Russia will be

Some Strange Letters Which find Theil

Some Strange Letters Which find Their
 Way to the White House.
 With the coming of the Christmas season the White House mail bag grows bulkier day by day. It is Mrs Roosevelt's correspondence which in creases at this season until it is mat ter of absolute labor to open the let ters. This is the time when appeals are coming from federal prisoners all over the country to the Presidents wife to use her influence with her hus- band to obtain pardons for offenders in prison. The convicted ones who think they ought to be set free play the -will-toward men feeling at the Christmas season for all it is worth and they place their nope of pardon largely upon the belief that woman is sympathetic. There might be chance of freedom for few of these offenders were it not for the fact that prisoner once established a black White House precedent and the history of it has come down to this day.
 In 1890, just as the snow was begin ming to fly in the fall a young fellow went from Chicago to Fort Sheriden and there gave himself up as a de- serter. The cold weather and lack of money had much to do with his sur- render to the authorities. The records showed that he was a deserter, and he was placed in the guard house to await trial He did not have to wait long, and the result of the court-martial was a sentence to three years at hard labor. Then the deserter began to think he had been a fool for giving himself up, and he began to think of something else as well. It was just a week before Christmas when he sat down in his cell and wrote letter to Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, White House, l Washington D. c. The persual of that l letter before 1t was sent made a hard ened fellow prisoner weep. Mrs. Har- rison was told how hard it was to be 1 in prison during the glad Christmas
 tide, when the world was bright from
 the reflection of happy faces and when, I if ever, pardon should come to the err ring.
 l Mrs. Harrison received the letter and
 was interested, and in an hour she had so interested her husband that he par doned the Fort Sheriden deserter. The young fellow was released and by
 permission he stayed around the bar
 racks a few hours. When he left he
 carried away all the money which

Robbins, of Rhinelander. It is figured that ten male and forty female seals in the lake will increase to one thousand in twenty years. The Apostle islands, together with Isle Royale, and the rock shores of Lake Superior, would, it is be- lieved, be ideal breeding places for seal, while in Malaroff's opinion, the climatic conditions are perfect. Efforts will be made to procure governmental regula- tion through agreement with Canada. The promoters figure large profits. Concerning the scheme, Henry L. Ward, custodian of the Milwaukee public mu- scum, and who spent several weeks last summer on the Pacific coast, observing the habits of seals and sea lions, con- siders the experiment worth trying, but it's practicability, he declares, will de- pend upon developments.
 The fur seal is naturally salt water amphibian," said he, "but it has been known to live and breed in captivity one thousand miles from salt water. However, the captive seals were always well cared for and well fed. Fish is their chief food, and if fish are found in sufficient quantity in Lake Superior, that objection to the success of the plan would be removed. Climatic con- ditions are another matter to be con- sidered. It is somewhat questionable If the intense cold of the Lake Superior region would not prove detrimental to the health of the seals. The fur seals of Alaska only remain at their rooker- ies in the Pribilof islands during the heated season of the summer. The rest of the year they are somewhere in the southern Pacific, at their feeding grounds. However, the project is one worth trying, and if it proves success ful a new value might be given to the great lake"
 Game Warden c. D. Nelson, of Wis consin, knows of no provision in the state laws or either Wisconsin or Mich- igan protecting fish and game that would prohibit or conflict with the plan of putting fur bearing seals in Lake Su- perior. While under the present game laws such animals would not receive protection from the game wardens' de- partments, they would not be regarded as menace to protected fish. Profess sor w. s. Marshall, of the geological department of the university of Wis consin, states that, while seals are heavy feeders, it was not probable that seals in the lake would greatly dimin- Iish the supply of fish.-Hancock, (NIich.)

HOW A KENTUCKY FEUD BEGINS

HOW A KENTUCKY FEUD BEGINS.
 The quiet of our town was disturbed by a shooting scrape yesterday, about noon, which it is generally conceded is only the. opening chapter in a bloody drama. About noon Harlan Stamper, the dentist, and Curl Lacy, between whom bad feeling existed for some time, met in John M. Roses store. Lacy said to Howard James, the clerk: There has been some i'll feeling be- tween Doc and I and want to go back here and talk it over with him. Then, turning to Stamper said, "No, I'll go nowhere to talk over anything with you; you have talk too d-n much already"
 The d--n lie was then exchanged between them and as Stamper raised his pistol Lacy levelled a single barrel shotgun, and James thinks both fired about the same time. Lacy dropped to the floor, crawled back to the end of the counter, got bis pistol and contin- ued firing. Stamper, having emptied his pistol, stepped outside, reloaded and continued firing through the win dow. Some seven or eight shots were fired by each, but Lacy is unscratched. Stamper was shot in the face and breast with No. shot, and the same load tore away the first joint of the middle finger on the left hand; left it dangling and Stamper tore it off and threw it away. These particulars were told us by Howard James, who was the only eyewitness, and he seems to have seen only a part of the trag- edy.
 There being neither police, judge nor marshal in the town, no arrests have been made at this writing-Hazen Green Herald.

filling the title role. That is the req son why Germany has not taken part in the dispute. She is strictly neutral, but her silence is very significant, and her sympathies are on the Russian side because the occupation of a Chinese province by a European power is an important precedent for her.
