Tokyo and was given a letter for the
emperor Of Korea.
A cable dispatch from Picking says
reports received there state that the
whole of Manchuria is In utter confu-

Il is hardly probable that one more
man on the police force could lave
prevented the attempt to blow up the
safe in the Pennsylvania station last
night. but it bears out the stand taken
by tho Evening News that Perth Am
boy cannot afford to let her police
force grow smaller instead of larger.
Since the death OF Michael Burke the
force has been smaller by one man.
In a city with a population such as we
have the police have been entirely toe
few. There ara several good men
anxious for an appointment and it is
time personal feelings were set aside
and more attention given to the city's
needs.

GERMAN INLAND WATERWAYS.
Playing nm Important Part In the In
dustrinl Development of
the Nation.

The most notable meeting in this dis
trict during 1903, and one Of the
most important held in Europe, was a
shree-day session of the German and
Austro-Hungarian Association for In
land Navigation, held in Mannheim
from September 0 to IL. This ~assocla-
ton is made up of members from the
two empires, who either in a private or
official capacity have taken conspicuous
part in inland-waterway improvements
In the two countries or in freight trans
oortation on such waterways. The Sep
TENDER meeting was attended by several
cabinet ministers and other high off,
Gals besides many noted engineers.
Papers were read on a variety Of topics
pertaining to the subject of inland wa
terway Improvement; the further ex-
tension OF canals In Germany, notably to
connect the upper Danube and upper
Rhine systems; the relation of river
shipping to manufacturing, to state rail-
ways; and ether allied topics. The pa
pers read, as well as the discussions
that followed, gave renewed emphasis
to the Importance Of inland waterways
In the industrial development of Ger
many, the need of still further i'm
provement of these waterways and their
continued operation under private con-
troll with proper recognition and guar
antees from the several states.

far taken 1866 tons anu Europe -,T7o
tons. A brief comparison with the ship
ments of previous years will show how
remarkably this branch of the export
trade has developed. The total crop OF
1900 was 2,514 tons, of which the United
States took A per cent; of 1901, 2,80S
tons, of which the United States tool
so per cent; of 1902, 1920 tons, of which
the United States took So per cent. The
crop of 1903 is above 5000 tons, OF
which the United States will take about
sc per cent. The strong demand from
the United States has held the market
firm and high throughout the season.
Never before has the market been so
steady and inflexible, but, though rul-
ing above the average, prices have not
been e~xorbitant and a fair profit has
been afforded to buyers and sellers
alike.

MANUFACTURES OF YARN.
Improvement introduced in Germany
in Textile Goods De-
partment.

An invention has been recently made
by an English manufacturer which re-
lates t 0 improvements in yarns such as
are to be used in the manufacture OF tex
tile goods, the object being to construct
ID seryiceable yarn from material which
has hitherto been considered of little
or no value, or to construct an excep-
tionally strong yarn at a very cheap
rate. The invention consists of a yarn
upon which is the body or yarn proper.
The core yarn may consist Of one OF
more materials, such as cotton or wors-
ted, or O combination of the two, and the
body of cotton or other material, such
as silkwool, shoddy, mungo. flax, waste,
or a combination of any Of these. Ac-
c0rding to this invention, the core
thread consisting, say, of cotton) is
covered entirely with any other desired
fiber (say, of wool), so combining the
strength of the core with the utility OF
appearance Of the body. BY combin-
ing the core and body as described.
ibers, such as waste or mungo of such
bIFOTL Staple dS W Nc VI pldCtiCaiiy AS
spinning gyalge, may be utilized in the
manufactArc Of textile goods possess
ing eqnsh OH greater strength and be-
ing similar in appearance to goods
manufactured from high-class fiber.
The core and body constituting the i'm
provedsyarnsa are combined in the follow
ing manner;
The fiber forming the body of the
yarn is,removed from the swift, or
cardero by means of a condenser doffer
and card and iron shippers in the ordi-
nary way, and the core thread Is
brought from any adjacent point to and
between the card stripper and the iron
stripper, from which point the two to-
gether pass between the rubbers and
the body is rubbed around the core suf-
ficiently to keep the two together when
on the condenser bobbin, from which
the yarn is spun in the ordinary man
ner.

The MILKY Why.

An investigation at Harvard college
observatory has shown that the Milky
Way has about twice as many stars as
any other equal area of the sky. This
ratio does not increase for faint stars
down to the twelfth magnitude, but the
proportion of stars of any given mag
nitude is the same as in other regions.
The Milky Way covers about one-third
Of the sky, containing about one-half of
the stars. About 10000 stars are of
magnitude &C, or brighter, 100, COO of
magnitude 81, 1,0O0,0 900 of magnitude
II, and 1000, 900 of magnitude 11.9, while
1t is thought-but not certainly known
that about 49, 0 900 stars are visible
IN a telescope of Is inches aperture, that
Is, down to about the fifteenth magni-
tude. There is no evidence of any limit
to the faintness Of the stars, although
the proportionate increase becomes less
for each successive magnitude.

"More American Medd1ins.v

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1.-THE
circulation here of an untrue report to
the effect that the Washington cabinet
had decided to support the protest Of
the commander of the United States
gunboat Helena, now at Newchwang,
against the action of the Russian au-
thorities in sinking Chinese junks in
the channel of the Lao river and that
Washington would notify Russia that
the neutrality Of Newchwang must be
respected has created something Of a
furry. The Novo Vremya makes this
the subject of an editorial article en-
titled More American Meddling," in
which it is commended that, as New
chwang is within Manchuria and is
only six miles distant from the rail
road to Port Arthur, Russia has a per-
feet right to take defensive measures
there and that unless the United States
is seeking a cause of quarrel it would
not insist upon supporting the protest
of the commander. Fortunately a de-
NAL of this story reached here in time
to head off what might have proved q
fresh cause of irritation.

FATE OF LABAREE IN DOUBT.
Would Be First Missionary Killed In
Persia.

Persia.
NEW YORK, March 14.-The Pres
byterian board Of foreign missions has
received no word from Persia regard
ing DIR. Benjamin Labaree, the mis-
sionary who, it is reported, has been
murdered in Khoi, Persia. Doubt is
felt as to whether the missionary re-
ported slain is Rev. Benjamin Laba-
rec, d. D., the father, or Rev. Benja-
min w. Labaree, the son
The dispatch stated that it was DR..
Labaree who had been killed, but the
advanced years of the elder Labaree
have made it i~mpracticable for him to
be out much among the villages, where
as the son is frequently engaged in
such work, and the last letter received
from him, dated Feb. l, stated that he
was about to leave for a visit among
| the villages to the south of Urumia.
The elder Labaree lived in Brooklyn
| after he came to America from a long
life Of missionary work, but he found
he could not stay away from his work
| and so returned.

ARE NOT DRAWN TOGETHER.
the Japanese of New Yorl-A
Possible Explanation.

II is a singular fact, and without
parallel in any other race. that az.
though there are 5000 Japanese in
New York there is no Japanese colony.
The yankees Of the east" are not gre
garious, like their brethren from China
town. 1t is easy to see how this comes
about. Such Japs as are in New York
are not drawn from the class which
usually makes up the immigrant
hordes. Most Of them go there with
money or are supplied with 1t from
home and they are free from the neces-
sity Of making their W living.
Probably half of the Japs there are
preparing themselves for some profess
sion which they expect to practice at
home. The others represent Japanese
mercantile interests and are invariably
men of great business ability and fully
in touch with American customs. They
become keenly offended when mis-
taken for Cinnamon. That they re-
gard their residence in America as a
temporary exile is shown by the fact
that there are only a half dozen Japan
csc women known to be in New York.

which come from JapaS and Shanghai

they are usually distributed among the
