gram to Tin : BKII.J An Informal meeting of
the chamber of commerce , real estate ex
change nnd eitl/.cns was held nt the city hall
tills ovenlnp to discuss the question of urg
ing the 15. it M. to build a cut-off to Hold-
rcge , a distance of thirty miles , wliloh
would place Kearney on the main line.
A utynber of gentlemen spoke In favor of the
proposition , and pointed out tlio advantages
that wet Id act-mo to the city and the B. &
M. if this cut-off should bo built. The dis
tance from Hastings to Holdrcgo is less than
three miles shorter than by way of Kearney.
Another proposition was that a connection
from the north main line could bo made from
Bioken Bow to Cnllaway , a distance of six
teen miles , thence to Kearney over the Kear
ney fi Black Hills , thus saving the long
haul of Denver freight by way of Aurora.
Itx was t'.io general expression of
ji/fiio business men present that the scheme
Jould be of incalculable benefit to all con-
Fcernod. It was suggested that it wus tlmo
the ncoplo of Kearney should favor most the
rend that had done the most for Kearney ,
which means the Union Pacific. This was
received with loud applause.
A committei was appointed to meet with
General Manager Holdrcge , who will bo hero

Ucuu.v , Aug. " . Consul General Edwards
has Just finished his statement showing the
value of declared exports from the Berlin
consular Jurisdiction to the United States
during the llsc.il yonr ending Juno UO , IS'JI.
The Berlin consulate general comprises
the consulates at Berlin , Bremen , Breslau ,
Brunswick , Chemnitz , Dresden , Hamburg ,
Lelpsie , Madgoburg , Plauon and Stettin. It
is Interesting to note llguros and compare
some of the most important Horns with these
of the preceding year , especially as the McKinley -
Kinloy bill has been In force uurlng the last
ulna months of the llscal year.
A synopsis of the exports from the Frank
fort consular district will also bo given
below , but us the Frankfort consulate gen
eral Issues only annual reports nt the end of
each calendar year It is possible now to give
only tliu statistics of the llrst six months of
Ih'Jl. The total exports ftom the Berlin con
sular district during the year ending Juno
: iO , ISOI , amounted to Ki'J.TftVJOl , n compared
with flW.U.Vl.l'S" ' for the preceding year , thus
showing a decrease of nearly f ! , . " 00.000.
Among the moro Important Items nro albums ,
of which S.VJI , ( ill. U were exported this year ,
as against $ sl5,0'f.l ( ! the previous year. On
the other hand books and printed matter on
which , Just as on albums an increased tariff
was placed , amounted to $ l,0-J,770.7l ( ! , there
is an increase of ; ! sl,04S.Ol ever the prnvlous
year. Buttons and button covers showed
only JU.157 70 , as against Slb7.lSi.70 : In IbbU-
00 , a accreaso of almost 75 per cent. Dress
and picco goods fell from ? < l,7iy70.4i ! ! ( in
IhbiMX ) to fl.lU5Dlr ) > .Stf in lb'JJ-l. Glov-os
and hosiery show heavy decioases , the latter
especially in the Chemnitz district. Sugar
fell from Sir , A)2Oli.7r ) ) > to Sll.lNJ.aSiU'J , a de
crease of over $ ) , ; riOOUOO. Tobacco about held
its own.
The Frankfort consulate general comprises
the consulates of La Chapelle. Barmen ,
Cologne , Dusseldorf , Frankfort , Kohl , Mann-
helm , Muyonce , Munlcti , Nuremberg , Soiluc-
borg , Stuttgart mid the commercial
agency ut Fuorth. In the Frankfort

and leaf metal were exported to the value of

Ib'JO. Dies , drugs and chemicals amounted
to * : tl0.vr' ) .GO , an increase of S85,4J.SO.
Fancy goods and toys were J1,7bT ( ! > .bU less in
value than in the llrst six months of Ib'JO.
Plato glass , window and mirror glass also
fell fi-om over $1,000,000 in ISOd to $ ! ' 00OUO ,
In IbOl. Ameiica imports from south
ern Germany $185,000 worth of
hair and over $500,000 worth of hoes. The
latter article has Increased about : ! , ' ! per cent
this year. Iron ware , steel and cutlery have
fallen from $ lC.40r > 4S.84 to * 03,8(1S.OJ , u de
crease of nearly . " .0 per cent. Linen , cotton
and woolen goods amounted to flb07.0S0.11 ,
an apparent increase of $31i > ,334.34 , but as
the Horn of cloth has disappeared from this
year's statement , whereas last year it
amounted to ever J.r > 00,000 , this increase is
only a seeming ono. Music and musical in
struments were exported to the value of
$ l30,3ti3.ia. : Silk goods , velvet , riubons and
braids fell from $1,114,333.48 to 82,041,011.03.
Of wines , brandy , beer and liquors America
took during tho- last half year f735,4U'.i.33 '
worth.
From this mass of figures It Is , however ,
next to Impossible to draw any dollnlto con
clusions as to the workings and nltects of the
MeKinloy bill. Some apparent decreases in
the value of the exports are duo to the strict
regulations of the department as regards the
invoicing of goods at their place of origin.
Siu-ar , for instance , was formerly all In
voiced from Magdeburg by the sugar brokers
there , no matter whether it came from Ger-
n any or from Austria. Now the Austrian
sugar must be invoiced at the proper consu
late there , banco ttio scorning falling off in
the exportation of suear. The increase in
the value of certain Imports Is also always
duo to Increased values. Where formerly in
many places a system of deploraulo looseness
prevailed and invoices were accepted ' 'any
way , " there is now the strictest discipline
and watchfulness.
To Consul General Edwards much of the
credit of this achievement is duo. Ho started
his reform in spite of all opposition and car-
rlod them through. Ho was manlfully as
sisted therein by every consul In his district.
In the southern districts under Consul Gen
eral , Mason a similar spirit prevails.
Besides the reasons given above other ex
traordinary circumstances prevent the possi
bility of judging the effects of the MeKinloy
bill by tbo liguros given. In anticipation of
Its passage shipments of all kinds of goods
were rushed across the oroan , the American
market was overstocked with uoods ana as a
the llrst of the bill's
consequence year o\-
Istenco will allow a decrease In the exports
from Germany to the United States.

LONDON , Aug. 7. The close of the session
of parliament brings to the ministers only n
brief cessation of work nnd to politicians
only a short respite of spoechmaiclng , I'ho
recess will bd the llvelioit experienced in
many years , each side working In view of
the fact that it will bo the last campaign before
fore the dissolution of parliament. Mr. Balfour -
four will open the campaign on Monday at
Plymouth , when It is expected ho will give
n further inkling of bis solution of Irish
county government to which the cabinet U
now distinctly pledged. Since the
prorogation speech announcing that
the committee would deal with
the questions already elaborated all rumors
of n general election have censed. The mem
bers know that the legislative programme
mentioned in the queen's speech in Novem
ber last is loft incomplete and will bo re
sumed next year.
It Is possible oven now to predict what leg
islative achievements the cabinet generally
Ifspos for. Besides the Irish local bill tbo
ministers have perfected an Important En
glish measure for developing the existing
svstem of local government by creating dis
trict councils , and bills to assist the purchase
of land in small allotments , and amending in
favor of workmen the law affecting the lia
bility of employers. The opposition Is
qulto prop irod to assist the government in
carrying out these movements.
The bunion of the work of the recess rests
upon Mr. Balfour. In his Irish local govern
ment bill it is understood the feature will bo
n franchise , the electors of the county boards
being confined to persons actually paving
ront. The measure will bo for the smallest
possible resemblance to a homo rule measure.
it the presence of royal persons can ensure
the success of the world's fair In Chicago its
success now seems to be assured. It is cer
tain that several members of the English
royal family are showing such an in
terest in the progress of the
preparations as Indicates an Intention on
their part to visit the fair , and communica
tions nave reached London from Berlin which
leave little doubt that if Europe is at peace
at the time of the fair the German emperor
will Indulge himself in the greatest voyage of
his lito hi seeing America. The keen and
growing interest taken in London in the fair
rendcri it probable that an invitation from
the mayor of Chicago to the lord mayor of
London , asking him to inspect the slto atu
preparations for the fair this year , would fin'-
acceptance. The queen is discussing among
the members of the council whether the lord
mayor could take a protracted leave of ab
sence from olllco to go in state to America.
Precedents for visits of the lord mayors of
London support tbo proposal. If tbo pend
ing arrangements result favorably the lord
mayor will bo enabled to see Chicago ext
spring , probably In a soml-privuto capacity ,
and bis visit will bo a prelude to the presence
In state of his successor In IB'.M.
The three weeks naval maiucuvres Just
concluded In the North sea have been keenly
watched by every government in Europo.
Exports blame tbo ndrairaltty for suddenly
changing the plans , converting the tactical
mancuuvros after five days evolutions into
strategic manoeuvres , thus spoiling the Initi
ative of the admirals commanding. In spite
of the admiralty's blundering tno evolutions
have yielded results of immense importance.
They have shown the rapidity of the mobili
zation of an English float in reality ; that the
new nnd complicated Instruments of sea
warfare , like the battle ships San
Paroil and is'ile ' , can bo equipped , manned
and sent to sea ready for action. They
also proved that the ton-ton guns used on the
bans Parell can bo worked rapidly and suc
cessfully , ponntrating nineteen Inches of iron
armor and fifteen inches of any compound
armour afloat at a range of over 2,000 yards.
Another discovery made has modified the
accepted Ideas of the value of torpedo ves
sel0. In no Instance did a torpedo vessel
succeed in an attack on an ironclad. The
system followed against , the torpedo vessels
converted the defense into an attack. In
stead of waiting for the torpedo vessels the
warships wont for them. Out of twenty
torpedo boats four were adjudged captured ,
while two protecting ships Were destroyed
anil seventeen attacks were repulsed. The
supoiiority of act've ' over passive defense
against torpedo boats is therefore held to bo
demonstrated.
Mr. Dillon whlio hero conferred unceas
ingly with tlio Pnrnollitea , with the vlow of
ending the gap in the Irish party. Ho found
them opposed to Mr. Parnoll's retirement as
a condition of reunion. Several intimated
their Intention to withdraw from public lllo.
During the tenure of tholr places in the
house of commons they would adhere to their
own doctrine. The meeting of Messrs. Dil
lon , O'Brien. .McCarthy and Sexton to de
liberate on the future leaderbhip of tbo party
resulted in an agreement that Mr. Dillon
should be formally invested with the leader
ship whan parliament reassembled. Moan-
whuo Mr. McCarthy will be the nominal ,
though Mr. Dillon will bo the virtual leader.
This arrrangomontscttlcs all rumor * .
Lord Salisbury bus Instructed his private
solicitor to press the nunkriiptcy case against
Mr. O'Brien to the speediest possible conclu-
Mon. Besides Lord Salisbury another claim
ant , George Bolton , to whom-a Jury awarded
1 , ( )0 ) damages in a libel action against Mr.
O'Brien years ago , has received his demand.
It Is plain that the object of both suits Is to
disqualify O'Brion ' for parliamentary life.
Lord Salisbury started for Chateau Cecil ,
at Lelppo. today. His last ofllclal work was
n communication to M. Wnddington , the
French ambassador , on the preparations
made for the reception of the French fleet
at Portsmouth. The otllciil programme
is as follows : On August 20 a portion
tion of the English licet will meet the
French Hoot olT the Isle of Wight and will escort
cert the French vessels through Spithcad
roadstod to Cowcs , opposite Osborno house ,
where anchor will bo cast. On AugustUl Ad
miral Gcrvnls and tils olllccrs will dine with
the queen. On the liJd the queen will In
spect the French lleoc and the French otll-
cers will attend a banquet In the Portsmouth
town hall. Tlio'id , Sunday , will bo a day
of lost. On the 21th the olllcers will go to
London to visit the naval exhibition and the
sailors w'll ' be banauottod in the town hall.
These aru the salient points , besides which
there will be a series of balls and Junket

Vnrilli y Heard From.
1'niMHKi.riiu , Aug. 7.--In a rather unex
pected manner H. H. Yard , who Is under
ball for trial on the charge of conspiracy
with John Bardslov , was heard from by Ie-
cnlver Ynrdloy of the suspended Keystone
National bank this morning. Shortly uoforo
noon Mr. Yardley learned that Yard In
tended to oiler the Keystone bank , the Sci-

This property formerly belonged to John
Lucas , former president of the bank , and
was iissii-iied by his widow to the bank , to-
gothcr with the bank building , to nuilcu up
the now famous Lucas delicti. Yard claims
that the bank after-Minis sold It to him. but
nobody deems to have any knowledge of such
u tale. As he heard of the coming sale Mr.
Yardley made elforts to prevent It. Ho held
a hurried consultation with his attorneys ,
one of whom wont to Trenton to ninko appli
cation for un Injunction restraining Yard
from making the sale , Assignee McGIll of
