The following report regarding the
importation OF towels into China liz
transmitted by Wilbur Il. Gracey, con.
Sui at Tsingtau:
Tsngtan is the largest. importer Of
towels in China. and during 1906 1iU.-
625 dozen honrScomb and liuckaback
towels passed through the customs at
this port. Tie. total Importation Of

dozen were supplied from Japan. which,

dozen of other varieties OF towels and
toweling. Great Britain supplied 23a,.
us dozen and HonEkong (probnhlH
originating in Great Brittany 193.1ol
dozen of the huckaback quality. and
of other kinds Great Britain supplied
e33.733 dozen.
1t will be seen by these statistics
that the Chinese people arc becoming
large buyers of the cheapest quality
OF foreign towels. TheAvarictles found
on this market are mostly small sell

90 cents to 81 Mexican Isl Mexican
equals 45.3 cents goldo per dozen. The
entire Province OF Shantung appears
to have been supplied through Using
tau. Several Chinese and two or three
German firms are interested In the
importation. tho former making their
purchases on the Shanghai market and
the latter importing direct from
Japan or Europe The British variety
OF towel sells at a slightly higher
price uS cents each1 is somewhat
larger. and of u thicker and better
quality. The demand for this class Of
goods and the Importation from Japan
has Increased enormously during the
8 past few years. The Importation from
japan In 900. of the huckaback variety
was 63,sa5 dozen. which in 1906 In
creased to 23l,957 dozen. while the Inn
ports Of otherSvarieties have Increased
from 273,l1S dozen in 1903 to 627.2S3
dozen In 1906.
While 1t would probably be impos-
sible for American manufacturers to
compete with the Japanese on tho
cheaper grade of goods. owing to the
advantages of Asiatic labor and near
ness to the market. yet as regards the
better qualities supplied blythe British
mills there should be an excellent OPP
portunity for competition. There is a
call for cheap toweiing in China, and

Americans can certainly secure por-

How 'rhcy Were Built.
The British were surprised Mt how
easily and quickly tie Americans car

they seemed to make of IT. The civil
engineer. who was sent out 10 take
charge Of the construction, was little
more than a boy His name was A. u.
Lueder. and he had graduated Mt Cor
nell University only a year or SO be-
fore. In addition to him there was a
Pennsylvania man named Jarrett who
acted as superintendent OF construc-
ton, and about twenty bridge build
ders and foremen from different parts
of the United States. These men arrived
al Mombasa in December. 1900. and
they had completed their work before
the following Christmas. They acte,l
merely as superintendent and fancy
workmen. All the rough labor was
done By East Indians and native Afri-
cans. furnished by the Britieh. When
the road was started the government
planned to use only Africans. but they
found this impossible. and therefore
imported 10000 coolies from India.
These men came on contracts OF from
two to five years, and their wages We're
from 81 to SIS n month and rattons.
The native laborers We're paid about

Before the American workmen ar
rived here a large part of the bridge
material was already in Mombasa.
They left one man there to see that
additional materials We're forwarded
Iprompty, and came at once to the seat
of action. They put up the bridges

duct in sixty-nine and one-half work

enforced delays on the part of the
government they would have undoubt-

OHIO CAMPAIGN PLANS
WHAT FORAKER MAY DO.
Secure Contesting DeIegation-Pos-
sible Convention Action.
IFrorn The Tribune Bureau.1


Washington - Feb. 1.-THE announcement
made in certain newspapers this morning that,
DESPITE the overwhelming victory Of Secretary
Taft in Ohio, Senator Foraker would seek to
secure certain district delegates, even If they
were elected as contestants. and that mass
meeting would be called to elect a contesting
state delegation occasoned some SUNRISE in
political circles especially as it was known that
the announcement came direct from Mr..
Foraker.
Mr.. Foraker has frequently referred TO his
nurpose to seek certain district delegates. but
that was before it became obvious that Ohio was
a unit for Judge Taft. In fact, at the time the
national committee met in Washington, in De-
cember Mr. Foraker assured certain Of the
members that he could be counted to appear
Of Chicago with one-half the district delegates
from, his state and that he might contest the
deIegates-at-large was then regarded entirely
likely.
In the light of yesterdays news from Ohio.
however there was considerable curiosity
his purpose in continuing his losing fight. Light
uas thrown on the subject to-day by
conversation which occurred in the Republi
can cloakroom of the Senate. 1t was explained
that certain members of the national committee
had advised the anti-administratiOn forces that
they would be unable to seat the contesting del
Southern states in sufficient numbers to control
the convention without bringing too great dis
credit on the convention.
This assertion met with the proposition
that MI Foraker secure the selection Of a dele
cation from Ohio which should contest the seats
of the Taft delegates. The national committee
could then consider the Ohio case first, II was
exnlained and emphatically reject all OF the
Foraker delegates. including the two Senators.
ubo would be selected delegates -at-large.
News of this decision would be promptly her
aided throughout the country, and would de-
noonstrate the complete fairness OF the national
committed" after which the contesting delega-
tions sent from the Southern states could be
seated without fear Of undue criticism.
OF course this programme contemplates ma
tional committee favorable to the anti-admr-
,etration faction and this the allies count
ing on The Taft people, on the other hand,
maintain that they will control the national
committee Should this latter claim become OBJ
yiousy correct, II is proba BILE that there will be
no contesting delegation from Ohio. but it is
entirely possible that the Taft forces will be
unable to satisfy their opponents that they cam
NOT control the committee before 1t meets in
Chicago.
The intirnation that Mr.. Foraker would be
marty TO q scheme to secure contesting delega-
tion in Ohio merely TO harass Secretary Taft and
IN confuse the situation in the minds Of Repub-
ucans in other states Is not credited by the
noliticians at the Capitol, who say the tale is
preposterous.

DEFY ICE FOR SICK CHILD.
Parents Make Perilous Journey
4cr0ss Great South Bay for did.

Mr. and Mrs J. B. Lockhart made perilous
trim across Great South Bay on the ice yesterday
with a sick child in order to reach medical aid.
Their safe arrival due partly to the aid
rendered by Captain Charles Baker, of the Point
O. Woods Iifesaving station, anG. as the weather
beaten lifesaver said, mostly to Gods provi-
dence"
Loclxhart is assistant keeper of the Fire Island
lighthouse, south Of Babylon. After the bay is
frozen over there is no way to reach the main
land of Long Island save by scooter" small
boat so built that 1t can skim over the ice and
sail through the water.
There was no scooter" at the lighthouse, and
I,ockhart and his wife carried the child five
miles to the Point o. Woods lifesaving station.
I'll take you over myself in my scooter"
volunteered Captain Baker.
But they had not travelled far from shore
when the wind died out. The ice was rotten and
treacherous, full of airhoes and traps for un-
wary feet The men decided that they must pull
the scooter" across the bay. Mrs. Lockhart sat
in the scooter" soothing the sick child. while
the two men pulled 1t the five six miles
living between Point o. Woods and Sayville. The
child did not suffer from the trip.

CANADIAN RELATIONS.
DETAILS TO BE SETTLED.
Mr.. Bryce's Visit to Ottazca Er-
pected to Hasten Treaty Progress.
rFroun The Tribune Bureau-]


washington Feb 1.-THE British An1bassa-
dor will II is expected at the State Department.
start for Ottawa, Canada, on Saturday, TO take
I'M with the Canadian administration the details
of the negotiations affecting Canada and the
United States, which it is hoped to conclude
and to embody in a treaty which Will close all
nandtnq matters between the United States and
Great Britain The negotiations providing for
the submission of the Newfoundland fisheries
question to The Hague are already under way.
The visit Of Secretary Root to ottawa, some
months ago, paved the way for the negotiations
in which he is now engaged, and 1t is expected
that Mr. Bryce will encounter comparatively
little difficulty in reaching understanding
with the officials at Ottawa on the points which
remain TO be settled. The various questions
which are to be made the basis for this treaty
NAV be summarized follows:
First-Transit free of duty of merchandise across
portions of American and Canadian territory
Second-Transit of merchandise without pay
Of appcafion of the alien Dor laws to
citizens of the United States and Of Canada
F'ourth-Reciprocal mine owning rights.
Fifth-Conveyance of American prisoners through
Canadian territory and nd vice , versa ,.,,, -s.
Seventh-The use of logging booms in the St
Eighth-The disposition of certain pecuniary
Ninth-The exemption Of Canadians coming tenn
porarily to the United States from payment OF
head tax.
Tenth-Distribution of power from Niagara Falls.
It would afford the utmost qualification to the
President and to the Secretary of State to see
every question between the United States and
Great Britain disposed OF before the close OF this
administration. and. while it is entirely possible
that the arbitration of the Newfoundland fish
cries question may not be concluded, the ratif-
cation of a treaty providing for its arbitration
would be regarded virtually disposing of that
troublesome and long standing contention When
the American Ambassador TO Great Britain
recently in Washington the Secretary of State
received from Mr. Reid all the details necessary
to the completion of the treaty
In view of the expectations of the administra-
tjon. the return Of the British Ambassador from
Ottawa will be anxiously awaited. IL a
treaty can then be promptly negotiated and it
and the Newfoundland fisheries treaty be rati-
fed at this session. the last point of difference
between the United States and Great Britain
will have been removed.
