Princes as Warricrs.-The war be-
tween Turkey and the Balkans has
been noted for the number Of royal
princes who have fought upon its bat
tleflelds.
King Nicholas, the sturdy ruler OF
plucky little Montenegro, and his three
sons were the first to engage in war
fare, Prince Peter, the youngest, hav-
ing fired the shot which began the mo-
mentous war; heralding, as events
have turned out, the downfall Of Tur-
key in Europe. The crown prince OF
Montenegro holds the most important
command in the Montenegrin forces
and Prince Mirgo has also served in
the war with great distinction.
Prince Arsene, the youngest brother
of the king Of Servia, became famous
for his daring raid and capture of the
important Turkish stronghold of We
les. King Peters two sons have also
fought bravely at the head of their
regiments.
AS crown prince, the present King
Constantine of Greece was command
er-in-chief Of all the Greek forces, and
gained great renown for his many
successes during the war. 1t is against
the practice of modern warfare for a
reigning sovereign to be seen on the
actual field of battle. but King Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria has been practically
commander in chief Of the allied
forces, keeping always in touch with
the vanguard Of his army.
The last battle in which British
sovereign personally led his troops on
the battlefield was in 1742, when
George II, at the head Of his army, de-
feated the French at the Battle of Det-
tingen.-London Times.

cd In Ivory Trade.
The Underwood tariff bill puts q
duty of 20 per cent on ivory-ele-
plants tusks. Up to this time ivory
has come in free. In putting on the
duty, congress will injure southern
business more than $1,000,00o annual
ly. SOutherners are petitioning con-
gress not to put on this 20 per cent
duty. t
This statement sounds queerly, but
as II Is explained at Washington by
Captain Ellison A. Smith, of Green
Vile, 8. c., the strictly business fea-
ture Of the matter asserts itself:
Transferring tusk ivory (only pro-
duced in Africa) from the free list to
q duty of 20 per cent" Captain Smith
said, destroys our market on the
eastern coast Of Africa for $1,000, 900
worth of southern cotton cloth and
threatens to destroy a total trade in
southern cotton cloth Of more than
$2,000.000 per annum. taaf Y
"Since 1S49 one firm has been ex-
porting American products to East At
rica and Red Sea ports in exchange
for the products of those countries,
the chief Of which has always been
ivory The chief imports varied in the
past, but Of late years cotton cloth has
supplanted other imports. For the
collection and shipment of ivory, etc.
to this country and for the sale and
distribution Of cotton goods In the
east we maintain houses, for example,
at Zanzibar. Mombasa, Alden and
Khartum or Omdurman, and are
about to establish a house in the Con-
go. At such places the actual collec-
tion of the ivory throughout the ele-
phant country and the final distribu-
tion of the cotton goods is done by ma
tive traders with whom we make the
exchange, and to whom sometimes we
give credit as high as $4,000. They
will not take our cottons unless we
will buy their ivory Cotton cloth for
q long time has been a recognized me-
dium Of exchange and more desirable
than money. Thus In Mombasa the
trade is through an Indian, Sir All
Viserman, who maintains many sta
tions up in the Uganda country; at
Zanzibar, through Hassam Baladina,
and at Alden. through Menahem Mes

I'VE would point out that the large
export Of American cotton cloth, prac-
tically all from southern mills, used to
facilitate the collection OF products to
be brought back here Is really a me-
dium of exchange, and the imposing
Of a duty of"2o per cent on tusk ivory
a raw material used for manufactur-
ing purposes), Is certain to curtail the
selling Of cotton cloth in these semi
civilized countries to the extent that
the importation Of ivory Is checked by
this duty, and the Judgment of those
familiar with the trade Is that the duty
will operate prohibitively on the raw
material In the readjustment Of trade
