WOOLLEN GOODS REVIVAL
CAUSES THAT LED TO THE DE-
PRESSION OF PAST YEARS.
Attempt of Foreign Woolen Goods
Manufacturers to Place Industries
In the United States—Some Are
.Already Here and More Would Fol-
low If There Was Capital At Com-
mand. I
New York. June 13. A A special to
biic Tribuue from W ashington anys:
There is probably no great enterprise
whioh has undergone within a compara-
tively short tune such a marked change
as the woolen dress goods industry ol
this and neighboring districts.
Until 1900 prosperous conditions pre-
vailed but early in that year there was
a falling oIT in the values of wool and
woolen yarns of 50 to 00 |>er cent. Enor-
mous financial sacrifice* followed. The
high tariff of Russia and the establish
ineirt of factories on a large scale at
laicize ami other placet in thut country
caused uhe loss <4 u valuable United
States market and a decrease in export*
to England and Scandinavia arc among
the causes of depression.
Of the many manufacturers previous-
ly eng.iged in the dress goods trade with
our country only seven or eight nre etill
left and those ship less each season.
These statements are made by Charles
Neur consular agent at Gera in a re-
port to the State department. He says
further:
Some of the prominent manufacturers
of this and other German cities have es
taWishcd brandh factories in Pawe
and Philadelphia and it i» said with
great success. lam convinced that
more would follow if in possession ol
accessary capital. Many communicn
tin ns have been received by this otpee
from real estate agents railroad eompa
nies and private persons in all parts Jf
the United States wishing to sell proper-
ty for woolen mills but while 1 may
claim tlie merit of having been the Me-
diator in the partial transptalat'on ol
one of the largest Gera factories »o out
shores my further endeavors were on
account of lack of capital in vain.
“In my opinion this is an excellent
opportunity for some of our large capi
talists to gain reliable European produ-
cer* for the home market.”
A VALI ABLE GIFT OF PRINTS.
Donated by .Tames D. Smillie to the New
Y’ork Public Library.
New York June 13. —At a recent

plate. . Besides the works of Smillie

MKELWAYS WARNING NOTE.
He Sees Danger in the Unprecedented
Industrial Increase.
New York June 13.—1 n the course
of the commencement exercises of the
Brooklyn Polytechnic college St. Clair
McKelway called attention to the dan
gers which he sees in the present Ameri-
can industrial expansion. He said in
j* rt:
“Because we are citizens of the United
States we are citizens of the world.
Those are days when we are told tn.G
our locomotives and bridges are injuring
England; that our manufacturers ol
machinery and small wares are hurting
Germany; that our ocean carriers and
our bargain makers.arc crowding Rus-
sia Italy and France even out of their
markets at home and out of m tuy
of Uicm abroad.
“W hy should we want to injure any
body! Superiority is desirable. But
if it is to be purchased at the prine of
impoverishment or of distress it will
be too dearly bought. Life is a coni
pel it ion but t'he earth is not a slaughter
housc.“

THE GILLMAN ESTATE.
It Will be Settled Among the Relatives
Without Litigation.
New York. June 13. —Fraser GUlamn
the half brother of the late millonaire
tea merchant of Bridgeport George
Francis Gillman has reached this eity
from Georgia to confer with certain of
the full blood relatives with a view to
settling the diaputea among the various
memlier* of the family of the deceased
mereha ut.
“We have raeched a virtual agree-
ment" he said "as bo which of the ea
tate is to he divided equally among the
fun blood and half blood heirs. The
Connecticut laws may administer the
estate in one way but the family wi l '
divide up the money in its own way
after the laws get through. We do not
want to have any lawsuit in this mat-
ter. We find that the estate is wortli
about ss.(MMlJ*lb. “A* to the re *“'
tion* of Mrs. Helen Hall in this case
her claim will be coueidered seriously.
We all know she Ims no legal claim up-
on the estate but I think both branch-
es of the family are disposed to make
allowance for her. I have no doubt
that some annuity will by mutual agree
ment he settled upon Mrs. Hall although
we are satisfied that she has no claim
before the law. 1 believe the whole
matter will lie settled in a very short
time and that we will avoid litigation.'
NO AGREEMENT ON CHINA.
Reduction of Claims Rejected- Inter
national Gurantee Sticks.
New York June 13.- A dispatch to
the Herald from Pekin says:
At the meeting of the diplomatie
corps held yesterday a reduction of
the claims as proposed by America was
definitely rejected.
Secretary Hay • proposal- to submit
vouchers for the claims to the tribunal
of The Hague was taken into consider-
ation.
If the ministers voice the viwes
their government there is hope of its
acceptance.
Russia made a concession by with
drawing tier opposition which has been
most nronon med.
The tax on salt will be guaranteed to
the Powers provided the commercial
Powers consent to the augmentation of
the import duties. This was agreed
to on condition that the Chinese govern-
ment undertakes the improvement of
harbors and consents to have the tar
iff readjusted by an international com
mission.
The tax on salt the native customs
duties and the taxes on grain which
have been conceded amply guarantee the
indemnity. The opposition of America
to the proposed guatantee has not been
overcome.

RELIEVING THE PRESIDENT.
THE CABINET IS GREATLY AS-
SISTING IN ROUTNE WORK.
Fight Between Democrat*—Like* to
See Big Building*—Headed Off a
Scheme—Tariff on Steel Product*.
Washington June 13. —President Me-
Kinley is only seeing Those of hi* caller*
who have important public business to
discus* owing to Mrs. McKinley's con-
tinued critical condition. Members of
tlie Cabinet are doing everything in
their power to relieve President McKin-
ley of the routine executive work 4>y
only calling his personal attention to
the most important matters.
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina
who is in Washington on official bust
ness said of tlie Mclavurin lilbiian
mix-up in South Carolina: “The fight
is between Democrats and 1 have noth-
ing to de with it but tnere is a
strong sympathy for Senator McLaurin
among business men and manufactur-
ers ot our section who are Democrats -.
They believe that he represents their
interests and the best interests of tho ■
South. I am willing to make this
prediction however —both North ami
South Carolina will soon tie in the Re-
publican column and the day is not far
distant when that will take place.
Other Southern States are leaning that
way too." Senator McLaurin is also in
Washington. He expressed absolute con-
fidence that a majority of the South
Carolina voter* will endorse his posi-
tion.
Representative Mercer of Nebraska
hopes that Attorney General Knox will
not take advantage of the authority he
has to make a contract for the erection
of the new building for tlie Department
of Justice because he considers the site
on Pennsylvania avenue entirely too
small and the appropriation available
inadequate for the erection of a suit-
able building. He said on the subject.
“1 believe that all new Federal bujltk
ing* in Washington should lie large
imposing and commodious built for tho
future and not for the present Our
forefathers showed splendid judgment
when they planned the Capitol. White
House and Treasury. There's the Con-
gressional Library. It has l>een admired
by thousands. We ought to erect aai.
other building for the Supreme Court
and the Department of Jus*ice. near the
Lilirarv. Tlie citv hall of Philadelphia
has cost $2L000.(H)0 ao far and the
State house at Albany $19000909. but
neither is admired as much as the Q>n-
gressional Library which coat a lit-
tle over $6900009. The small amount
of money appropriated for the new
building'of the Department of Justice
will not erect much of a building. It
certainly will not. make a showing >n
the small piece of ground owned by the
Department. I like to see big buildings
in spacious grounds. The people are
willing to pay for them and that ought
to be sufficient.”
Secretary Long headed off a scheme
of some real estate speculators who
have acquired the land that will be
needed for the establishment of the
Navi! Station on Pearl Harbor. Hawm
and have been holding it at extortion-
ate prices by instructing the eommand *
aut of the Naval Station at Honolulu
to consult with the United States Dis-
trict Attorney there in regard to pro-
ceedings to protect the interests of the
government in securing the needed land
of Pearl Harbor. By tlie same steamer
at the request of Secretarv Ixing ord
era from Attorney General Knox went
to the United State* District Attorney
to take the necessaary steps before July
1 to condemn the land needed for the
Naval Station. This alertness will con-
vince these speculators that Uncle Sam
is not always au easy mark.
Discussion of Representative Bab-
cock's idea of removing the tariff from
all products of the steel trust has
brought out some interesting facte
about the steel trade. It has been
shown that big as tlie steel trust
is it by no imobb controls the steel
trade in this country there being
many establishments sonie of them em-
ploying a large number of men. who ii
have no connection with the trust it
seems to be generally admitted that
the removal of the tariff on steel prod-
ucts would not injure the big trust t»j
any marked extent but it is claunem
that it would nece**ritate an immediate
reduction in wages in all steel establish-
ments not in the trust. This claim
which is being made by those who tiught
to know whereof they speak is causing
manv who were at first inclined to favor
Mr. Babcock's idea to entenain doubts
of its wisdoni. ami if il l»e suKstantiated
