thnt the post exchange Is n club whore

of hall storms by cannon firing Is nn all
absorbing topic nmong tho wine growers of

United States consul nt Lyons, France, has
provided tho Stnto department with a sup
plementary report upon this important sub
ject, tn nnswer to many requests and In
quiries. Ueforo tho Improved cloud destroyers
wero In use wine growers shot powder
from a sheet iron ense fixed In a strong
box on the trunk of a tree. In somo parts
of France they rang, and still ring, church
bells at the approach of a hall storm, ho
lleving that tho vibrations In tho
ntmosphero rerved to break up tho storm
clouds.
Hut Ihcso methods have given way to n
scientific system of combating tho elements

ship problem today. Secretary Long had
referred back to tho board tho bids cov
ering tho three sheathed battleships, hav
ing nccoptcd Its conclusions ns to tho eight
other vessels Included In tho advertise
ment. Several Interesting legal points are
Involved in this case. In tho first place It
Is doubtful whether or not ono of tho threo
vessels must be
coast builders. Thero Is a utrong argument
on each Bldo ot this question. Again, It
la a question whother tho department Is nt
liberty to request bidders to nmend their
bids through tho Indirect method of restor
ing certain items of construction omitted
In their specltlrattoiis. Altogether, It ap
pears that tho board will bo occupied for
tho next threo days In determining these
points and then passing upon tho nltema

cannot bo brought within tho limit of cost,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. A pronounced
depression tn Gorman business enterprises
genernlly has been reported to tho State
department by United Stntes Consul Al
bert, nt Hrunswlck. In building, In rail
road projects, In tho construction of elec
trical and street railroads nml In projoctcd
electrical planta for lighting tliore ltnB been
n very material decrcaso as compared with
last year, of from 30 to CO per cent. Tho
number of projected gas works Is almost a
third less nnd In mining nnd smelting, metnl
manufacture, breweries and water works
thoro haB been a considerable falling off,
Tho consul characterizes tho depression
ns n natural reaction nftor so much pros
perlty In 18S9, and says thnt (lonnnny never
wns so flourishing ns during last yeur.
cent on nrmor plato appears great,
ho said, "but when Us ncccptanco or re
jection depcndB on two shots, na Is tho
case, it Is small, for when (ho armor plato
Is rejected tho material is lost."
A question ns to combinations ot capital
brought a statement from tho witness con
cerning tho reported Crnmp-Vlcker Sons
nnd Maxlm-Mldvalo company negotiations.
Mr. Harrnh said:
"No ono today has an option on Mldvale,
nor has nnyouo nn option on tho controll
ing Interest ot Mldvale. I would stato fur
ther that when I was In London last sum
mer Mr. Albert Vlckers told me positively
1 that neither ho nor his company hud nny
, Intention of coming hero 10 establish a
plant to do any business beyond thnt which
thoy could do for tho government."
When naked ns to tho tariff conditions
Mr. Harrah said:
"Let tho tariff nlone."
Tho commission also heard testimony re
garding tho plate-glass Industry by John
Pltcalrn, president of tho I'lttsburg Plato
Glass company. Mr. Pltcalrn nsserted that
a combination wns nccessnry becauso of tho
failure of soveral Individual factorlcB. After
tho consolidation of tho manufacturers, Mr.
Pltcalrn said, tho Jobbers association bo
came objcctlonnblo In Its demnnds. These
demnuds nsked tho Pittsburg Glass company
to discriminate ngalnst buyers who were
not members ot tho Jobbers' organization.
W. W. Hcroy of Now York, chairman ot
tho selling department of tho Pittsburg
Plato Glass company, wen asked: "Hnvo
you tried In any way to prcvont tho trade
In tho United States from buying forolgu
glass?"
"Wo havo certain contracts with buyers
In consideration of which they ngreed to
buy glass hero,"
"What would bo tho penalty in their re
lation with you If they bought abroad?"
"Wo certainly would not retuso to sell
to them, hut It would bo renconablo to
suppose that our competitors buying abroad
would recolvo commissions from us when
thoy purchased our product."
