WilIowware Industry.

In ten years Maryland has jumped
from fifth to third place in the willow
ware industry of the United States,
ranking now next to New York and
Pennsylvania. Baltimore is one of the
three willoW-ware centers which only
have shown any actual growth in the
business. In Maryland the center of
the willow district lies in Howard
County. In the neighborhood of Elk
ridge alone the output of willow ex-
ceeds $1,000 per annum, while Anne
Arundel County contributes $500.

made by Zolock on Tuesday, to 2:05 1-4. One thing that should be announced at the very beginning, how ever before it is forgotten, is the fact that several of the best horsemen said the Phoenix track was the fastest piece of dirt they ever pulled a line over And this is as fine a compliment as the fair association or the fair com mission could have It is the more notable when it is remembered that this is the dead of winter, vixen other tracks are covered with snow, and when there is more or less freezing presumably even on the Phoenix track during the cool nights. Il is likely that with the same care and attention in the summer time, or in the spring and fall, the Phoenix track would DC even faster than it is now. Even on the big eastern tracks, where there is no lack of money or attention, there are apt to be soft and cuppy places,

FRANCE AND GERMANY
 PREPARING FOR WAR
There Is Great Activity of Forces
 Along the Frontier.

Paris, Dec. 30.-Despite the improve ment in the relations of France and Germany occasioned by the submission of the Morocco controversy to a con- ference, there is a distinct revival of war rumors, and considerable element of the people and a number of jour nals are maintaining that war between France and Germany is inevitable. Some of these reports are taking an exaggerated form, but they all tend to stimulate public apprehension.
 Dispatches from Belgium say the authorities there are adopting precau- tionary measures, anticipating that a conflict would reach Belgian soil. Specials from Switzerland report that the German reservists have been sum- moned, and other dispatches graphi- cally describe the activity of French and German forces along the frontier and their extensive works and defences.

HISTORY RECALLED.
By Joseph Chamberlain in Warning.

Birmingham, Eng, Dec. 30.-Joseph Chamberlain in a speech here tonight said he believed that the dispatch of Prime Minister Campbell Zimmerman with relation to Chinese labor in South Africa was purely an electioneering paper. If not. 1t was most serious and probably would result in the same sit uation as when Great Britain tried to legislate for the American colonies and lost them.
 MT Chamberlain said Great Britain had already almost hopelessly lost the trade lead and that her only hope now lay in colonial preference, but he fear ed that fiscal reform would be smoth- cred under the mass of minor issues during the campaign.

WALLER WELLMAN
 SENT TO THE POLE
The Northern Trip Is to Be Made in an Airshi5.

Chicago, Dec 30.-"Build an airship, go find the north pole and report by wireless telegraphy and submarine cables the progress of your efforts.'
 This was the startling assignment given few days ago to Walter We'll man, Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record-Herald by Frank B. Moves, editor-in- chief of the paper. and the commission has been accept ed by MT. Wellman. As an assistant on this daring expedition MT. Wellman will have the services of Alberto San tos Dumont of Paris. who will have charge of the construction of the air ship and will act as aeronautic direc tor and pilot for the ship on its voyage toward the north pole.
 In announcing his acceptance tonight of the proposed expedition, MT. We'll man said: If I did not believe that the chances of success were greater than those of failure, I would not ac- cept the commission. Mir. Moves act ed on no sudden whim or impulse when be, gave me tshe order to try and To- cate the much sought north pole, as he had before him a report which I had submitted to him as the outcome of two visits to the inner polar regions; of years of study of the problem of the pole; of many months of special inves- tigation of airship construction and navigation; the wind and climatic con- ditions to be encountered, and all the multitudinous mechanical and meteor ological factors involved. In his inves- tigatiOn scores of eminent experts and specialists weer consulted voluminous fna finally a complete, symmetrical and at least promising project was evolved by me as representing a seemingly practi- cable combination of the latest de- velopment of many of the arts for ac- complaining the result in view.

The Dreaded ''BIaCk Hundred'' Assists in
 the Work of Destruction
The Revolutionists Admit Their Complete Failure and that They Were Led into Fatal Trap by the Seem ing Helpessness of Witte.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 30.-The govern ment claims that the attempt at an armed revolution has failed signally. In a semi-official communication issued tonight it was declared the movement has been broken and within a few weeks it will be definitely crushed. It attributes the defeat of the reds not only to the force the government em- pioyed, but to lack of public sympa- thy.
 Simultaneously the government an- nounces that the regulations for the elections to the national assembly have been completed and will be pub lished tomorrow, and that everything possible will be done to accelerate the meeting of the douma, when the voice or the nation and not of single class can be heard.
 Te Associated Press representative tonight talked with a prominent revo- lutionary who is leading spirit in the movement to rage the dynasty and its regime, and for whom the police are searching. He was unable to conceal his depression, but nevertheless he claimed that the movement had re- ceived only a temporary check
 We blundered badly" he said. "We fell into the trap Witte set for us. Elm bolden at the seeming paralysis of the government, we proclaimed broadcast our intention of preparing an armed revolution for January and February. We virtually threw our cards on the table then"
 No other details have been received of the horrible affair at Moscow today. when Governor General Doubassoff's artillery brought the walls of the Prok- haroff cotton mill tumbling down on the heads of several thousand strikers and revolutionaries, except a statement that hundreds perished.
 The attempt of the black hundreds to march into the city and wreak ven geance on the revolutionaries and strikers only tends to confirm the fears that the final collapse of the revolt at Moscow will be followed by an awful massacre, and although Governor Gen. eral Doubassaff succeed in preventing their entry into the city today and will take sterh measures in the future. it will be difficult to restrain the lower classes, who regard the revolutionaries as enemies of the empire. Already rowdies are taking advantage of the situation to plunder on a large scale.

 There was a hot contest for the dis tinction of being acknowledged the ugliest man in the territory, and the prize was awarded to J. C. Phillips, probate judge. There is some question as to Mir. Phillips right to enter this contest, as he is known to be some thing of professional in this line, and was generally understood that this contest was for amateurs. However, none of the defeated candidates en- tered protest, so The Republican will not. The other contestants were E. P. Surghnor. C. C. Black, R. H. Field, J. J. Hill, M. M. Elders, w. T.
