..rhe American Danger

Privy Councillor GOldberger. author
Of the book "America, the land OF I'm
limited Possibilities" has published in
Berlin a supplementary essay enhled
"The American Danger" in which he
declares that the prevalent European
tear of danger from America is Inneces-
sary. y II is lrne, he said. that America ;
industrial development contains the pos.
sibilities of danger. but 1t IS fatal
mistake TO describe American prosperity
as bubble which bursts when the boom
is over. Americas prosperity rests on
solid foundations German prosperity,
hos,yer, he argues, is also very power
full. Herr GOldberger cites elaborate
statistics to prove that America cannot
achieve commercial conquest. Germany
is able to compete successfully with
America. The real American danger
lies in the circulation Of extrayagant
declarations of American industry, there
by advertising American competitors
and encouraging the belief that Amerl-
can products are superior to German
articles. Germany must carefully watch
American industrial progress, according
to Herr GoIdbergcr, and must follow
her example Of organizing trusts, not
initiating the custom slavishly, but
adapting American methods TO German
requirements. He advocates the estab-
lshment of central depot for he band
ling of German products in New York,
which would promote the seading of
German exports to America. Herr
Goldberger concludes by saying that a
commercial treaty between Germany
and America, based on reciprocity, is
needed

DEATH OF Is DUE

Albany Department Store Col
lapse Caused by Criminal
Negligence.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 24.-The coro-
ner's examination Of workmen who
were digging cellar under the Myers
department. store at the time of its
collapse recently, has shown that the
men were warned of the approaching
disaster for an hour before the struc-
ture fell and crushed the life out of
thirteen persons. -~rE
The laborers dug away the earth
about the bases of the pillars support
ing the center of the building, leaving
them resting on high mounds of earth.
John Mitchell, foreman, said that when
he arrived the morning of Aug. he
discovered that large piece of earth
had fallen from a corner of pied No.
8, the pier about which the investiga-
tion had centered and that one-half
hour before the crash came he and
others saw that pier No. 9 had begun
crumbling, and that for that half hour
the crumbling continued, while the
whole force of men were kept work
ing at pier No. with desperation
born of the knowledge that the safety
of the entire building depended upon
getting it shored up in time. la ......
Five minutes before the crash came
the superintendent of the job left the
gang in the cellar, saying he was going
above to warn employees off the floor.
At the last minute, realizing that
their efforts to save the building were
useless, the workmen rushed out. All
escaped uniniured but Mitchell, who
was caught and badly bruised.
1t has not yet developed that any
of the $50 persons in the stories above
received adequate warning, with the
exception Of those in the basement.
Here the sagging Of the floor drove
all the clerks to a place of safety just
as the building fell.

A stranger claiming to be a resident
of Rice s state engaged him in a friend

adjourn to a nearby saloon and get a
drink.
Rice pulled out his roll and one of
the men grabbed it and passed it to
one Of his confederates, who ran out
of back door and escaped. Another
seized Rice, claiming that he had been
gambling, enabling the other three to
escape.

him that there was enough doubt to
justify a review of the entire case by
the supreme court. The case will come

TIE SUPPLY Is SHORT
Forest Reserve and Northern Pacific
p. Looking into It.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The investiga-
tion into wood for railroad ties in Min
nesota and Wisconsin, which the forest
service is making in cooperation with
the Northern Pacific railroad, is bring
ing out the fact that the supplies in
those states are by no means unlim-
tied. Oak is, Of course, largely used.
Tamarack, which, on account of its
strength and weight, has become the
standard for railroads using their own
supply, has suddenly sprung into de-
mand for sawn lumber, for which use
its market price has shot up far abovs
the price paid by railroads for ties.
White cedar, valued because, tho dur
able, it is so light as to save freight
charges, may hold out for some time
longer in the more accessible regions
if it is diverted, like the tamarack, {,
to other uses.
The object Of the study is to reach
an accurate estimate of supplies and
to suggest the exploitation Of inferior
woods, such as the jack pine and the
white birch, in case these woods are
found to take preservative treatment
successfully. The jack pine, the red
or Norway pine and the European larch
are being considered as substitutes.

Work Of Lumber Kings and c. attic
Barons.''

Doubtless congress will consent to
amend the land laws by the repeal of those
employed solely to increase the holdings
OF the dishonest man and to give rise to
such scandals as have lately thrown shame
upon the American name: but If the flu
ture Is to be judged by the past, this ac-
cess: of wisdom and Of honesty will come
only when there Is no longer any land
left that is desired by the lumber king
or the cattle baron. It is, therefore, Of
the utmost moment that these lands
capable of reclamation, which it was not
In the past to their interest to acquire
and which at least partially and in a lame
fashion safeguarded by the laws of 1902
should be prepared as a patrimony for the
days when the land hunger that is as old
and as indestructible as man shall find
no food for its reasonable satisfaction.
Vast Territory Ready for Water.
There is indeed, a magnificent area
available for this purpose. One-t third of
the entire land area Of the United States

possessions Is still vacant. The great bulk
Of this is included within the regions
known as arid and semi-arid. In the six

f1dently stated by good authorities that
about 60.oo0,000 acres are capable of sup
porting settled population on the basis
OF 1rrigating enterprises now regarded as
feasible. A great portion Of this area,
many times as valuable for production as

FOSTER CHARGED WITH
THE CHINESE BOYCOTT
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Aug. 24.-Report as to
the authorship of the Chinese boycott
against American goods, has fastened
upon John W. Foster, formerly secreta-
ry of state, who for years has been le-
gal adviser Of China! He is credited
with having devised the boycott for the
purpose Of affecting the exclusion
treaty negotiations. But the idea that
it would prove SO serious a matter
never entered his head.
Further changes in the, rules govern
ing the administration. of the Chinese
exclusion law are expected soon by
those conducting the fight against ths
method in vogue among officers and EN-.
ployees of the i1nmi grafton service.
The president s feeling is SO strong
that friends of Frank P. Sargent, COM
missioner general of immigration, have
begun specializing as to whether he can
longer remain in office. The president
recently brushed aside his objections
and ordered notifications that have
been engrafted upon the rules.

Mr.. Witte's Statement Of the Results

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 24.-Mr.
Witte's statement Of yesterdays peace
conference was this:
We arrived at nothing.'
- The Russians have been. in constant
communication with their government
for the last forty eight hours. They
have received word from the czar that
they must not submit to an indemnity
in any. form whatever Gin whatever
guise. G. ti
There is not man on the staff of
M. Witte who is not certain that nego-
tiations will end in failure, even if the
Japanese should make another propo-
sition. It seems definitely settled that
the Japanese will insist on getting
money, under some pretext or other,
and that the Russians will not pay.
They still insist, "not a kopeck.'
The Japanese. have no comments to
make. They. think their magnanimity
in changing their propositions, SO as to
avoid wounding Russian honor by in
sisting on the term indemnity, shows
the world they are in earnest in their
effort to get peace. They consider their
action shifts the responsibility to Rus.
sia,, and they are content to let Rus.
sia work it out as best she NAV.

WILSON'S WAR ON
TOBACCO TRUST
An Anti Trust Expert Named as
Official in Bureau of
Statistics.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special SerV1ce.
Washington, Aug. 24.-Admitting
that the American tobacco trust has
had the better in the statistics on the
production Of tobacco, Secretary Will
son has appointed Joseph Killebrew of
Ciarksville, Tenn, special agent on
tobacco, to be attached to the bureau
of statistics. ~
Killebrew is a member Of the Dark
Tobacco District association, an organ
ization which has been fighting the
trust Killebrew was appointed be-
cause he is an expert on tobacco and
because he represent the producers in
their fight with the trust. His salary
viii be only $1,eoo-an insignificant
amount of money-but the mere fact
that they are to be represented in the
departmental service will please tobac-
co growers. For year or more they
have been charging that the stats
ticians who compiled the tobacco sta
tistics for the department of agrieul-
ture have been biased in favor of the
trust. = - ts.>a -
Since the organization of the Dark
Tobacco District association, the fight
made by the producers has forced the
price Of the lowest grades up to 8 and
4 cents. The trust has not been able
to increase it's price accordingly, as
it long ago put them to the highest
notch consumers would pay.

THIS PROPOSAL NOT THE LAST
Others Are Likely to Follow If Russia
. --..--- BalkS '.>'

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 24.-It is
stated that Japan has proposed to Rus
sia that the question of indemnity for
war expenditures be waived, practically,
and that Russia agree te purchase. a
$600,000,000. -- ."ra.-.
+. It is believed that one part Of the
proposition submitted to Baron Rosen
by the president was that Russia should
purchase possession Of the Island Of
and that if the conferees were unable
to agree upon price to be paid for it,,
the amount be left to the determination
of an impartial tribunal.
Final decision of the proposition
made by Japan thru Baron Komura will
rest with Emperor Nicholas. Even
should it be. rejected, it is almost Ger,
tain now that it will be succeeded by
other propositions looking to an ulti.
mate agreement Of the plenipotentiaries.
