the Washington Board of Trade that will

Cooperative Wholesale stores for Italy

has been mailing a special investigation Of
the commercial situation with regard to
trade with this country. He points out that
as goods are now handled. being shipped
from New York to importers at Genoa,
thence sold to wholesalers ct Milan and
thence to retailers. who dispense them to
the consumer. there are five profits to come
out of the goods and the only wonder Is
that anything can be sold at all It Is

In small quantities as he wanted from the
producer, three of these profits could be
eliminated and the market greatly enlarged
Consul Nash advises establishing big de-
pertmental stores In Naples, Genoa and
Milan. whence goods could be Immediately
supplied in reasonably small quantities.
He says a great number of useful and IN
genious manufactures In which we excel
are utterly unknown in the market in Italy

MILLION COCKTAILS ANNUALLY.
Drinking Record Of One Far Eastern
Climb

1t looks from one report of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor as though the
British were having a few troubles of their
own in the commercial line in the far east.
IAN excerpt from the London Commercial In
telligence correspondent arraigns the Brit
ish severely for letting their far eastern
trade slip into the hands of the Germans.
He says, in part:
The average merchant in Shanghai is
quite content to sit down and wait for the
business to walk in, whereas the Germans
seek 1t, and establish branches in the prin-
cipal business centers Other points on
which the German IN China beats the Brit
ish are application and temperance. The
German comes to China for business, and
does not make fetish of sport. nor does
he think it necessary to close his office every
day from II TO 2 for the purpose of stand
ing around the club bar drinking cocktails
II needs good deal of argument TO prove
that five or six cocktails in the middle OF
the day are conducive to business yet this
appears to be the average all over emma
and Japan. Nor is 1t a creditable state OF
affairs when a club can boast OF having
sold million cocktails in a year. and that
IN q business community the total foreign
population of which is 1000, including
Asiatics other than Chinese.

FLAT MILEAGE RATES.
A Lively Discussion in the Senate
Yesterday Afternoon.

Mr.. Foraker occupied the attention of the
Senate yesterday afternoon until 5 O'Clock
in a discussion of the rate bill. being fire.
quently interrupted by Senators
Mr.. Lodge spoke briefly IN support of the
practice of granting lower rates on goods
intended for export than those used in
domestic consumption.
Mr.. Foraker eulogized the Elkins law as
most helpful to shippers. saying that it
covered all railroad evils except excessive
rates.
In the present bill it had been found in
convenient to deal with the wrongs of I'M
Just rates and the lack of uniform classifi-
cations, thus combining the operation of the
bill almost exclusively to excessive rates.
He did not believe in fat mileage rate,
as suggested by Mr. Tilman. and in case of
such legislation he feared the result would
be ID serious matter for the strawberry
growers of South Carolina and the peach
growers OF Georgia.
Mr.. Tillman declared that although a
peach grower himself he was willing to
take the chances on a fiat rate. He be
lieVed 1t to be in accordance with the
declaration of Independence He said there
would be no danger of competition in
Southern peaches, because, he said, the
peaches of Georgia are done and gone and
ate up before the Delaware peaches get
into the market.
I'm stand and die by the proposition that
peaches from Delaware TO New York that
is charged on them from South Carolina to
New York" he added.
Mr.. Bailey suggested that a fiat rate
might have the effect of causing consumers
TO move from the eastern seaboard nearer
TO the farming centers
Mr.. Foraker said that the manufacturing
industries of the west and also of the
south We're very prosperous, and Mr.. Till
man responded that this was true of the
south despite the Determinations of the
tariff and of railroad rates
Mr.. Galllnger said II railroad companies
were to be put upon mileage basis ex-
press companies should be compelled to
adopt the system. and also that the mails
should be carried on the same plan
Mr.. Tillman declared that the pottery
manufacturers OF East Liverpool, Ohio
We're being deprived of the advantages the
tariff gives them by the DETERMINATIONS of
the railroads.
Mr.. Foraker admitted that there was
some discrimination there, but said that
the condition might be worse.
We'll, they're squealing," responded Mr.
Tillman
IF the Senator had been there during
the Cleveland administration, retorted Mr..
Foraker. 'he would have heard them
squealing long and loud

FORMAL STRIKELIKELY
MINERS AND OPERATORS UN-
ABLE TO GET TOGETHER.

At the meeting of the subcommittee OF
the anthracite mine workers and operators
in New York yesterday, as briefly reported
in The Star. the representatives of the en-
ployes offered the mine owners the choice
of two propositions In thir endeavor to
come to an amoable agreement, and the
employers made an informal reply In which
they intimated that they are not likely
to accept either of the wage workers Of
fers. The operators will make an official
answer to the miners later proposition by
letter, and there will be no further meet
ings until something develops.
While there is still hope that a peaceful
solution of the controversy will be found,
yesterdays meeting did not bring the con-
tending parties closer together in fact,
they appear to have almost reached the
limit of their negotiations.
Briefly stated the offer made by Presi-
dent Mitchell yesterday was a resubms-
sion of the miners original demands, with
two amendments and in case they are not
accepted he proposes that the whole con-
troversy be placed before the strike COM

day says:
News has been received that the govern
ment of Ecuador has made goods from the
United States into Ecuador duty free for a
period of three months. the period beginning
about the first of the present month.
NJ. Aristizabel. acting consul from Ecua-
dor, is quoted In regard to t&e matter In
effect that while he had heard that the du-
ties referred to had been SUSPENDED. and
that he believed 1t to be true, he could not
make the statement officially. He was in
doubt as to whether In fact he was consul
for Ecuador. owing to the recent change In
the administration as a result of the revo-
luton which took place last January. He
had since then sent in his resignation, but
had not vet been notified whether 1t had
been accepted. The superstition Is that the
duties have been RENTED to permit those
who took part in the revolution to recoup
their losses.
