Refuse to Cut Prices.
Export interests In the United States
have been consistently refusing to cut
prices and sacrifice their lumber In the
foreign market on the ground that they
were able 10 sell to the advantage In
the home markets, because Of the firm
ness Of the latter. But the consignment

selves, but have consistently done eve
rything In their power to prevent the
inexperienced from falling into the
hands Of the commission firms who
seek TO profit by their gullibility. Only
about 10 months ago one Of the larger
firms in the South connected with the
consignment Of lumber failed for about
$500 900, and the foreign market was
glutted with consignment stock TO such
an extent that demoralization ensued
from which the trade has never reeov'
cred.
With this experience so fresh in mind
exporters here and elsewhere in ths
South are glad TO learn that foreigr
firms hive agreed among themselves
not TO bid for the consignment stock
on board the Irak, thus forcing 1t int,

Memphis, Tenn. Sept. 2s.-Expoft
lumber interests Of this city and the
sntise South are up In arms against the
publication recently appearing In . for.
|sign trade paper regarding the arrival
Iof . large cargo Of lumber from this
side, the greater portion Of which 10
claimed 10 have been sent abroad on
consignment. The Liverpool eorrespon.
dent Of the paper which Is published In
London, reads American shippers q lee
ture on the folly Of making consign.
,uents OF lumber In the present condi.
tion Of the foreign market. and asks
when they viii learn to use common
sense In sending their lumber abroad.
THE steamer In question was the Irak,
which cleared from Norfolk July rs,
after being specially chartered to carry
over this cargo OF about 300 carloads OF
lumber. logs and planks.
A a matter OF fact manifests OF the
cargo Of the Irak show that out OF the
large cargo, only seventy cars Of lum'
her were sent on consignment, the re-
naming 2o2 cars being shipped on firm
orders. This II the first fact that

incident by leading export interests

has been misled regarding the amount
OF consigned stock actually sent abroad

HAVANA, July 22.-Ihe ayuntamiento

sisted, as they considered that such action
on the part OF the Government would be
unlawful. They asserted that any inves-
tigation should be held by the provincial
Governor.
However, as the Provincial Governor is
Jose Miguel, another presidential candidate.
and as the ayuntamiento is favorable to
him and he had refused to make an investi-
cation on the ground that recent examine
ton of the pagers showed that affairs were
all right, the Government took other means
to accomplish its purpose.

LONDON, July q. -"Lynching IN America
is always an attractive headline In the
English Newspapers and many are the
sermons which have been preached In
editorial columns warning America to mend
her ways in this respect. Yet two days ago
a man was lynched and carried of dead
in London street in broad daylight, practi-
cally under the eyes Of the police, without
any more notice being taken than il 1t had
been an ordinary little street row.
The facts revealed at the inquest are these:
John Jacobs, an elderly dock laborer, was
sitting in Victoria Park on Thursday after
noon. little girl was sitting close by.
Another workingman passed and, looking
through the bush separating him and
Jacobs, suspected an improperly. He
pushed through the bush and shouted,
what are you up top
When he understood the charge Jacobs
indignantly repudiated it and accom- panied
his accuser to a police box in the park.
There he established his innocence. and
was let 60. but was taken out of the
park by a constable, who at the inquest
said: 1T Is usual to turn q man out after
such an accusation"
A large crowd of some hundreds OF people
had assembled. and they allowed Jacobs
to walk In the middle Of the road. Then
they closed around him and he was struck
by several men. Jacobs fell to the ground
and was carried to a nearby horse trough
amid cries of Lynch him!' Put him in
the horse trough" but when the horse
trough was reached Jacobs was found to
be dead.
No arrests were made at the time and
no attempt has since been made to make
arrests, though one witness swore he could
identify the man who dealt the last blow
which knocked Jacobs down. The jury
returned a verdict that death resulted
from natural causes and attached no blame

CUSTOMS MEN GET VIOLIN.

Chance's UnderclOthes.

A valuable violin. supposed to be
Stainer, was brought to this port on Fri
day, by y. N. Chafree Of Detroit, who
arrived from the Mediterranean aboard the
White Star liner Cretio. Mr.. Chaffee did
not declare the instrument. which was
wrapped in underc!othes. He said that
he had bought it for $50. The Government
appraisers, who are not expert violinists'
but who, through long experience, can
tell a real violin from a common fiddle,
decided that they ought to get an opinion
Of experts on the value OF Chaffee's violin,
and they seized it and sent it to the Pubic
Stores. Mr.. Chaffee admitted that the
violin was worth much more than $50.
One Of the appraisers ventured the opinion
that it might be worth 1890, or more II
it were real Stainer. 1t will be deter
mined tomorrow just how much duty the
violin will cost Mr.. Chaffee.
