CHILEAN EXPOSITION
TO BE HELD IN NOVEMBER,
ALI the Various Products Of the Country
to Be Shown-How to
Secure Space.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-In transmit
ting the translation of a circular issued by
the "Sociedades Nacional de Agricultural y
de Fomento Fabril.' of Santiago, which
proposes to hold an exposition at the
Chilean capital during the month Of Mo-
vember, Consul A. A. Winslow writes
from Valparaiso:
The exhibition departments include for
estry, agriculture. horticulture. fisheries
and fish culture, including machinery, APP
pllances, methods, and productions. The
Chilean Government has made a liberal
appropriation to assist the enterprise. Here
is an opportunity to do some effective work
by those at home who are interested In
the introduction of machinery and APP
pliances. Chile is making great progress,
and much more interest is being taken in
the development of the natural resources
OF the country than ever before. Many
of the people seem interested In improved
machinery and up-to-date methods, largely
because of the scarcity OF labor and the
desire to secure. a greater productloh OF
articles In order to meet the increasing de-
mand. There is n great chance FOR I'M
provement, and this is well understood by
the Chilean Government, which Is giving
much attention to these matters.
To secure space in the exposition, ex-
hibitors should address a brief summary
of the articles they intend TO display to

MANGANESE IN HAITI.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-Vice-Consui
Alexander Battiste. of Port au Prince, re-
ports that a concession was obtained from
the Haitian government by a business
man in his district TO exploit a mine OF
manganese discovered about three years
ago in Coteaux, Province Of Cages. The
vice-consul adds:
IA merchant interested in the enter
prise who recently returned from a visit
to the mining district states that he found
the ore more or less in some places In a
pure state and in others mixed with man
ganese rock. The deposits Of manganese
ere are very rich and can be found in sufi-
cient quantities 10 make the working of
the miles profitable. An important fact
which gives value to the concession is thai
the central point of deposit lies within 200
meters from the coast, and the workable
surface dominates In a straight line the
sea coast, thereby making IL easy to trans
port the ore TO the coast at a small cost
by means of a suspended railway. CThe
Eame OF the business man and the mer-
chant In question are on file in the bureau

HARAHAN MAKES
HOT REPLY TO FISH.
Charged Former President Of Illi-
nois Central Railroad with Using
Funds to Helm Schemes.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-J. T. Harahan,
president of the Illinois Central Railroad
Company, in a statement issued last night
In Chicago. empha tically denied all the
charges made by Stuyvesant Fish In a
circular letter sent by the latter to the
stockholders on Monday.
He charged Mr.. Fish, when president of
the road, with having loaned to himself
81, $780, 600 of the company's money on what,
Mr.. Harahan says, proved to be inadequate
and unmarketable security.
Furthermore, he charged Mr.. Fish with
having, deposited a large amount of money
belonging to the Illinois Central with the
Trust Company of the Republic after the
credit of the latter was seriously impaired,
and that the railroad was unable to collect
the entire amount and suffered n loss. At
the time of this transaction, according to
Mr.. Harahan, Mr.. Fish was a member of
the executive committee of the trust COM
pany and very active in its affairs.
Mr.. Harahan's statement was issued
after there had been a conference in this
city between A. G. Hackstaff, vice-presi-
lent and secretary of the Illinois Central,
and e. II. Hartman.

PRODUCES LIFE FROM
UNFERTILIZED EGGS.
Chemicals Used to Develop Star Fish
and Sea Urchins by Professor
de Lage. of France.

PARIS. Sept. 25.-Remarkable expert
ments in h chemical development of
life have been recently effected by Pro-
fessor de Lage. of the Sorbonne. In
his laboratory at Roseoff, in Brittany,
Professor de Lage placed the unfertil-
lied eggs of the sea urchin and the
star fish in sea water, adding a solu-
ton of sugar with a few drops of am
monia and tannin.
In about an hour augmentation, which
is the first sign of life, began and the
eggs produced larvae. The great ma
jority of these larvae soon died, but
Professor de Lage, by constant and
minute care, brought four of the urchins
and two of the star fish through the
larvae stage and they are now healthy
growing specimens.
Professor de Lagos experiments go
beyond those made by Professor Loeb,
of the University Of California, at
Berkeley.

OUR SHOES ABROAD
EXPORTS TO CAPE COLONY
FALLING OFF.
Several Reasons Given for the Decline
in Trade by Our Consul-General in
South African Settlement.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-In his report
Consul-G General Julius G.. Lay, of Cape
Town. shows how American sales of foot
wear In Cape Colony have fallen off in the
face of increased importations of boots
and shoes. He explains the reasons and
gives some trade information, as follows
The total imports of boots and shoes into
Cape Colony during 1906 amounted to
So. 1872, 1886, being an advance in value OF
$50, 1923 over the previous year. The sales
of American footwear last year, however,
decreased over $35, 900. MS the following
record of boot and shoe imports from the
United States will show: 1898. $56.057; 1899,
$73,0S0; 1900, $I2,329; 1901; $67,313; 1902,
$1s9, 2l6; 1903, $14,146; 1904. sec, 4OS; 1905,
Sis. sst; 1906. $79,9G.
The loss of some of our former large
boot and shoe business is in n measure
due to the practise of sending samples here
superior to the goods shipped on orders
taken from these samples.
A very much larger trade would doubt
less be lone in American boots and shoes
IL American manufacturers were better
represented in this market. An American
boot and shoe store, where a full and com
plete range OF ladies', mems, boys and
girls boots and shoes were sold, would
certainly meet with great success. Prac-
tically no hoys' or girls boots or shoes of
American make are sou III lHlS iHhIhet'
and principally for the reason that the
merchants have refused to stock them In
variety. When only a few pairs of one
make are shown, with no range of sizes or
styles, and at prices apparently much
higher than for similar quality of English
goods, it cannot be expected that any
great Roadway can be made. This applies
to ladies' and mems sizes also.
Cape Town boot and shoe merchants
have not up to the present stocked Ameri-
can-made goods with a view to pushing
their sale, but only to try them, and no
half sizes are kept in stock, which, OF
course, is an important secret of the sue
cess and satisfaction in American boots
and shoes. The decline in the importations
OF American boots and shoes Is chiefly due
to the making of boots and shoes by Eng
1ish manufacturers on the same lasts and
after the came styles as the American,
dBoot and shoe dealers claim that the Eng
iish leather is more satisfactory, and by
getting the American style and English
Weather the results are better. 1t may bt
added, however. that an order has recently
Sbeen given at Cape Town for 5000 pairs o.
fAmerican shoes.
