THREATENS NEGRO
Albanian Tells President That the

Than the Birth Rate.

Washington, April DIR ai'is,
professor of medicine in Il sity
of Alabama at Mobile, tall the
President today about the ravages of
consumption among the negroes of the
south.
He expressed the fear and he added
that his opinion was eoncurred in by
the medical fraternity generally in the
south that the negro race was likely to
become extinct in this country through
the ravages of disease, especially con-
sumption Statistics showed, he said, that
the death rate among the members of
the negro race in America was greater
than the birth rate.

GERMAN COLONY TRADE.
Mother Country Reaps Rich Harvest
from Her DeDendents.

Germany's colonial trade is source
of constant income to the Kaiser's en-
pire, and the German newspapers are
now rejoicing over the increase of
commerce between the home country
and the colonies. According to Stats
tics just made public, Germany's i'm
ports from her colonies have risen
from 81 1923 ,160 in 1902 to 81, 231 .4O2 in
1905, and her exports to the colonies
from $5,025,60 in 1902 to $1O,271 ,088
in 1906. German West Africa exports
more to Germany than any other OF
her colonies, and German East Africa
comes next in the list. having almost
trebled the value of her sales to the
mother country in three years. From
German East Africa rubber is the
leading article of export, 874,72O
pounds, worth about 1857 900. having
been shipped from there in 1905. The
exports of coffee from German East
Africa have fallen off from 1893, $50
pounds in 1902 to $4,000 pounds in
1905. Guano, which formerly oc-
cupied prominent place among the
exports from Southwest Africa. is no
longer of importance.
Caberoons and Tege began to export
anything of importance only during

amounted in value to $2.143.903 and
those OF Tege to $257.992. Here. as
in German East Africa. rubber &C.
cupied the chief place, 2,220,020
pounds. valued at $l.5S6.666. having
bee shipped. Palm nuts and coca
beans were shipped in great quantities
to Germany. and ivory shipments
amounted to 6O,940 pounds. worth
about $41,65O. There are no statis-
tics from kiao-Chou for 1905. but in
1904 coal for the first time figured
among the exports, along with on
hides. Shantung coal worth about
$3.50 was exported. Copra is the
chief export from Samoa. The i'm
ports OF German from her colonies
have increased nearly IS per cent
since 1904.
Germany's exports to her colonies
have naturally been much heavier than
her imports from them. In 1902 her
record was $5.O25.574. In 1905 these
figures had increased to $lO.371 .OSS.
To Southwest Africa she sent last
year goods to the value of $4.3S3. zoos.
as against $1,095.5l4 in 1902. With
Samoa. during the same period. Ger
many's trade decreased from $121.142
to $lO1.lO0. The other colonies oc-
cupy intermediate positions between
these two. ranging from East Africa.
West Africa and Kiao-Chou to Ger
man Australasia. Among the articles
sent to the colonies from the home
country. iron. textiles and beer oc-
cupy the first place in weight. Then
follow the precious metals. with silver
in the lead. The expectation of To-
comotives. automobiles. iron bridges
and machines to East Africa all show
ed heavy increase last year. Natur-
ally provisions for the troops in South
west Africa played heavy role in
the expectations to that colony. Rail-
road supplies and iron products all
show a decrease during the last year.
To West Africa the principal en-
ports were heavy cotton goods. rough
iron. knives and coal German Aus
tralasia takes only textiles. ironware
and bottled beer in appreciate quaint
tiles. Samoa purchases dress goods,
building materials and lumber.

CARPETS IN LESS DEMAND.

The Smyrna trade in Oriental car
pets with the United States has fallen
off considerably in the last two years.
The preference for antique" goods,
which are a class of rugs and car
pets procurable in the market in
Constantinople and which come from
Persia, the Caucasus and Mesopotamia
has greatly affected the demand for
the genuine Smyrna articles. Dealers
in Smyrna say that most OF the car
pets sold in Constantinople have the
name without the quality OF being
antique, but they are sold as such,
and an enormous trade exists in them.
There Is no end to the varities made
In bright colors, which find their way
to the STEAMBOAT market, and which
would almost be unstable but for
treatment with acids, which tone down
the colors and give superficial ap-
pearance of age. Most varieties con-
tain more or less cotton in the form
OF welt, which serves to give the car
pet body and stiffness. The Garnet by
this treatment loses in value by. reason
OF Its inferior density and the dimin-
ished quantity of wool employed in it's
manufacture
Looms are almost always worked by
women and girls. 1t is not unusual
to see girls under ten years of age
sitting by their mothers and helping
to tie the knots. Beginning at this
early age, they become experts when
womanhood has been reached and
work so rapidly that the eye cannot
follow the movements of their hands.
None of them earn more than from 80
to 40 cents day. The looms may
not belong to the persons who work
them. Every producing center has its
own methods and customs, which diff
fer widely In many cases. In some
cases the looms belong to tho man
who furnishes the work, and who is
supposed to act as an Intermediary
between the weaver and the Smyrna
merchant. The cost of looms is
trifling, as they are made in a primi-
tive way out of coarse timber, without
iron. Looms are scattered through
out the towns and villages, and the
merchant who has fifty looms has to
inspect them every day to make sure
that his carpets are made in COM
pliance with his instructions.
The six heaviest purchasers of rugs
In 1904 were France, $3.50 200; the
United Kingdom. 100000; Austria
Hungary, $89,7O0; Germany, $4,000,
and the United States, $4,000.

MExICO's GOLD BASIS.

The first year of Mexico's exper-
fence OF the gold basis in her finances.
which was completed on May i last,
has proved the most prosperous in the
history of the country. Investments
OF foreign capital in the republic,
which had practically stopped for two
years prior to the change, in antigua
ton OF the adoption of the gold stand
ard. were at once resumed on larger
scale than ever. and native capital,
which had also been held back, was
quickly released. At least $4,000, 900
OF foreign capital was invested in en-
terprises in Mexico in her first year
as a gold standard country, about
one-half Of 1t beingAmerican and the
rest largely French and Canadian.
Most OF the new American capital was
invested in railroad construction, min
Ing equipment. plantations, city real
estate and mercantile establishments.
The total investments of American
citizens in Mexico now aggregate
$600,0O0,000 sa
Mexico has begun her second year
of the gold basis under particularly
suspicious circumstances. Finance
Minister Limantour has placed in his
budget 100000 additional federal
revenue for the current fiscal year.
The annual production Of $4,000, 900
OF silver Is expected to show Sch
stantial increase, while the produce
ton of copper. which now amounts to
more than $12,OO0,O0O annually,
promises this year to reach the $15,-
100000 mark. Its high proce is in
Mexico's favor, and there Is no present
indication OF decline in the near
future. 1t is natural that Mexico
should be rejoicing over the prosper
ity which her change to the gold
basis has brought to the republic.

sighting the Jane Gray the Yorktown
was in range of her guns. Deter
mined to have no further misunder-
standing of his wishes, Commodore
Evans ordered the gatling guns of
the gunboat's deck to be turned
loose on the pirate schooner. In a
few minutes the water all around the
Jane Gray was leaping upward with
sharp spurts.
This was a message Captain Kelly
could understand. so he brought his
schooner up on the wind and lay to.

knew would be soon forthcoming He

Evans. don't take on so. BY the way.
there are not many whales where you
were anchored this morning. Think"
Capt. Kelly was then asked why he
had not stopped when signalled. He
replied that he had lost his signal
book. To the same question in regard
to the Yorktown's whistle he answer
ed that he thought her whistle had
been broken.
He stoutly asserted he had stopped
his ship of his own accord and was
about to send boat to the gunboat
to request that it cease its target prac-
tice so near to his own ship. The
naval officers were not to be fooled
so easily. however. and the schooner
was searched from deck to keelson
Nothing OF an discriminating nature
was found. as Capt. Kelly had not
stopped until all evidences OF seal
had been thrown overheard
AS he was known to be somewhat
careless in his regard to the law. the
presidents proclamation forbidding
seal hunting in the Behring sea was
read to him and he was told that if
he was ever found in those waters
again his ship would be confiscated.
With this he was released and
sailed away to the south through the
encircling chain OF the Aleutian Is
lands. During the following year,
returning to his old haunts his schoon-
er was at once captured, condemned
and sold. and he was heavily fined.
