CERMANY'S SAILING SHIPS.
Navy Said 10 Be in Need Of More
Sailors and May Pay Large
Subsidies.

Consul Pitcairn, writing from Ham
burg on the suggested subsidy for
the German sailing fleet, quotes a re-
cent report by the Commercial asso-
citation of Oldenburg. He says In part:
Steamships nowadays take hold OF
cargoes formerly reserved for sailing
ships, such as nitrates. logwood.
pitchpine and grain from California
and Australia. This is due to the
keen competition, making It often i'm.
possible for sailing vessels to cover
expenses.
German steamships and sailing
craft were equal In tonnage in 1899;
since which time the former fleet has
increased 1888 per cent, while the lat
ter has decreased 3s per cent. Briggs
have almost disappeared. barks and
three masted schooners have de-
creased, while large fourmasted and
full.rigged ships have maintained
their position.
The German governD mt has be-
come actively interested in the re-
viving of the empires ship sailing
trade, because of the rapid develop
ment OF their navy and tho great need
Of seamen. Sailing vessels are the
only practical schools for deckhands.
The government also desires to pre-
serve and promote the small ship
building yards, which are declining.
II is proposed to make an appro-
priation in Germany of 1871 cents per
day and capita for training men on
small sailing vessels. For 1885 men
this would require only $25O,Os0 for a
1o'months' service. and would re-
lieve many poor skipp r, payments
being s1O7 to s214 per small vessel
An extension to the larger sailing
craft would require s1,O6724o per an
mum, increase the feet OF German
sailing vessels, which would be man.

ford annually 1000 young men en-
trance to the mariners career.

VINEYARDS IN PORTUGAL.
Grape Growers in Bad Way over In
ability to Dispose of Stored
UP Crops.

The distress among the agricultural
laborers is taxing, in many parts OF
Portugal, the resources of the local
author tiles, especially In The wine dis
triCts of the north, where the crisis
seems to be most acute. So keen APP
pears to be the distress that the sub
ject has been laid before the parlia-
m"nt.
According to the local press in these
districts, whose products IN prosperous
times are a chief source of the coun-
try's wealth. many OF he vineyard
owners have in their cellars the har-
vcsts of two years grape growth which
they are unable to sell, except at
huge sacrifice, and not being able to
obtain the cash on which they count
ed for help from bankers and others
to tide over bad times, they nave re-
solved this year to discontinue In
many vineyards the hOeing and other
indispensable labor rhis has led
to unemployment of some thousands
of hands who could OF erwise have
counted upon employment.
Hunger and misery, 1t is said, are
seen everywhere, and the poor starv-
ing wretches are spreading themselves
ever the country, to the detriment OF
others OF the working class whose lot
Is but little better. and resorting to
pilfering and begging to satisfy their
needs. Instances are said by the press
to have occurred where some men who
were considered well to dc yeomen
have solved for themselves the ques-
Ton OF financial difficulties by resort
ing to suicide.
Some few years ago regular fever
OF vineyard making spI d over the
northern half of the co sl;ry and over
production has been the result, which
wiser Portuguese heads foresaw and
avoided, but their warnings were not
EecGed.

The second pillar was based mainly on

Commenting on the first Instruction.
that it must be proved that the crime
had been committed. the lawyer argued
briefly that the specific charge that the
sum Of 80 was obtained from o. j. Sands
by Misrepresentation and by fraud was
not sustained.
Pillar No. was intent to defraud at
the time the offense was committed. and
the court charged the jury that this
pillar must be sustained by immutable
evidence. Counsel claimed that the wo-
men who obtained the money from Sands
told him of the proposed entertainment
for the benefit OF the Dorcas Society.
that he handed out the 50 accepted the
tickets, the entertainment was given at
the time promised and the tickets bought
by Sands were used. 1t, therefore, mat
tiers not If the women told him they
