Commercial Information of Interest where German Emigrants Come From Washington'. Sept 17. Minister Ryan transmits for the information of the State Department statistics of the vain of American machinery exported annually from the United States to Mexico, from 1SS0 to 1887, inclusive, which shows that the exportation grew in valuo from $462,284 in 1SS0, to $4,000,000 in 1887. M v Vice-consul Wopalenski writes as follows from Batavia: "About 300,000 cases of Russian petroleum, from liatonm, are expected, a quantity which will doubtless greatly influence the Java petroleum market, inasmuch as the monthly consumption of the whole island only amounts to abont 160,000 cases. The contents of a case of both American and Kuasian petroleum is the same, two tins of ten gallons. Some of the above Kussiau petroleum has already been sold on delivery to retailers at 40 Java cents (about 16 American cents) per case cheaper than that at which American petroleum imported in sailing vessels can be bought. The rate to consumers will be 8 cents a caso less than American petroleum. According to the recently published official report of the royal Prussian statistical bureau furnished to the State Department by Consul Warner, of Cologne, the crops of lbbSt except of barley, buckwheat and clover, were decidedly better than those of lS.su Winter wheat was 13 per cent, below the average, and only potatoes and hay reached tno average. The grainproducing states of Germany are the Prussian provinces and the kingdom of Bavaria. These provinces likewise furnish the larger contingent of German emigration to the United States. For instance, out of a total of 7f,7.7 Germans that emigrated to the, United States in 18NH. the Prussian provinces, and the kingdoms of Uavaria and Wnrtnmburg furnished M.S70. The Rhenish province being chiefly industrial it furnished only 1,183 emigrants for the United States in lh8. MINOR MATTERS.

' ppeclftl to tlio Inllanpolls Journal Washington, Sept. 17. A novelty was introduced, to-day, in the work of reasphalting Pennsylvania avenue for the Knight Templar conclave. Of course, the old asphalt had to be torn up first, and, to expedite this, the plowing was done by steam instead of with four big horses, as before. The contractors got a traction engine, and the way it ripped up the asphalt amazed the thousands who stood about and watched it till the?, rain began. A loner. heavy chain was fastened to the back end of the traction engine, and a big plow was hitched to the other end of the chain. A hole was broken in the asphalt surface, and the point of the plow put in it. Then the tngiue began to "pntf, pun'," and roll up furrows of asphalt like xioosier boil Fatents Isiued to Indiana Inventors. Krcial to tha Indianapolis Journal. ' Washington, Sept. 17.

Bridges and Railway Tracks Washed Away by a Sadden Rise in Streams Wilmington, DeL. Sept. 17. A cloudburst in upper Newcastle county and lower Chester county, Pennsylvania, last night, and heavy rains this afternoon, have caused great damage. Three bridges on the Wil mington & Northern railroad, above Coateaville, Pa., are all, or nearly all. destroyed, and more are expec ted to follow. No trains have been able to reach Reading, Pa., from this city, and none have arrived here. Sev eral extensive washouts have also been made, and those localities will have to be trestled before trains can be mn. On the Landenburg branch of the B. & O. railroad, near Brandy wine Springs, a big washout made it . necessary to transfer passengers. The heavy rains will increase the damage already done to crops in this section, ine Wilmington & Northern Railroad Company reports the storm the most damaging that it Jias ever experienced.

Pittsburg, Pa., Sept 17. The Times will publish, to-morrow, the report of the national legislative committee of the Knights of Labor, which will be presented at the next session of the General Assembly of that organization at Atlantic in November. It is a lengthy document, and tells how the committee made a dismal failure of the work intrusted to them. Not a single labor measure was passed. Members of the order are blamed for not assisting the committee by securing signatures to petitious, and suggestions are made that the General Assembly pass a law compelling members to do so, and to vote only for candidates pledged to labonlecislation. Ine committee was in an embarrassing position, as every member who had previously supported labor measures were defeated for re-elec tion. The land nnestionis discussed, and a pro test entered to claims of railroads for some 40.000.000 acres. The report says that the persons voting for the passage of this law for the railroad enrants, if it is to stand as construed by Justice lield. are guilty of knowingly swindling and robbing the government and the neoDle. Thev commain that the Senate wasted the time in discuss ing a tarift bill which it knew could not pass, and that both parties generally vlaved 'doir-in-the-mantfer" on labor lecislation for political etlect, neither being willing to accept wiiat tne otner, advo cated.

The negroes are a patient race: they are Sood-natured, and the traditions of slavery ays have force enough to make them submissive to treatment that would drive tbe most abject of white men mad. But there is a bound even to negro submissiveness. Before now, races counted as too patient to resent wrongs have suddenly, as if by prearranged concert, turned upon their persecutors, feeling that Jt was better to go down in one mad outburst of hatred than longer to endure an existence in which degradation gave no assurance of safety. We do do not say that the Southern negroes will take such a course. But should they do so, the peaceable sections of the Union will hold the South responsible, and they have a right to insist that present remonstrances should be heard. A Typical Narrative. Boston Trail script Tho story told by the delegates to the National Colored Convention now in session at Indianapolis is a typical narrative of the experience of many colored men on railroad trains in the South. In this instance the colored men escaped with their lives. though, of course, they lost the better ac commodations they had paid for. 1 his incident is less suggestive than the declaration of a Mississippi delegate, that, as he desires to live in that State, he dares not tell all the negroes have suffered there, and go home. The convention will appeal to the President of the United States for pro tection, as well as to the uovernors of the Southern States, and its action cannot but advance the consideration of the race-con flict as a national problem.

' The members of the expedition had often heard that to write in a notebook in a public place in France was a 6tab at the safety of tne French nation, insuring the arrest of the Btabber, but they never fully appreciated the saying until now. Mr. Wilder, the photographer of the expedition, was the tirst to leel the heavy arm of the law in this respect. He prepared to take a snap shot with his camera at the Place de la Concorde, when a snuad of gen-darmes surrounded andcaptured nim, camera and all, but a lengthy confabulation resulted in his dismissal. The next victim was Mr. Kendall, the furniture man. While in an aisle of the exposition he desired to put down something in black and white, and whipped out his note-book and pencil. With the first stroke of his Faber he was placed under arrest by the police and was hustled to the policestation. It was an hour or two before tho officers would release him, as it required that time to read the voluminous notes which he had taken thus far on the trip, and to ascertainthat there was nothing in them calculated to overthrow the government or even lead up to an insurrection. All the notes he had made relative to the exposition, however, were taken from his book and kept by the police. To say that Mr. Kendall was indignant is putting it mild. He was diplomatic, however. Next day he waited with an interpreter on the man who had caused his arrest, and explained tho matter. The Frenchman was profoundly penitent, and couldn't do enough for Mr. Kendall, even offering him him pencil and paper to make all the notes he wanted, then and there. Mr. Dozier,.the baker, has been rolling the French bread as a sweet morsel under his tongue ever sinco ho arrived in Fans, and wondering 'how in thunder they make it so crisp and put that glaze on it." "I went into a bakery to-day and found out all about it," he exclaimed, yesterday, his face beaming wif h happiness, 'and 1 11 make bread just like it in America. It is simply a matter of allowing a spray to fall upon tho dough as it goes into the oven." "Cahinet-mnlrerft in Paris nnmhpr 90 ODft n said Mr. Longsdon, tho carpenter, M10,000 of whom belong to labor organizations. A very peculiar law exists in Faris, fixing the wages of cabinet-makers at 10 cents an hour, and they receive this price and no more and no less, save when they make a contract in writing fixing another figure. They work ten hours a day. "After a thorough examination into the subjectj" continued Mr. Longsdon, "I havo ascertained that two rooms, euch as workingmcn occupy, cost on an average, $50 per year." Mr. Bunn, the electrician, finds that they have better dynamos on exhibition hero than ho has seen in America. They have a steadier current with more power at soxno 500 volts less. Mr. Vail, the blacksmith, has found a process for welding bv electricity. His comment upon it, though somewhat tech- ' nical, is very interesting, especially to the trade. He says: It is already made certain that metals and combination of metals hitherto considered unweldable can be fused together by the process with the greateftt facility. Ho alfto can piecea of like and unlike metals. The process is very simple. The bars or pieces to bo welded are tirst ground to a slightly conical form at the ends, so that the heating and welding start at their centers and spreads out sradually, as pressure is applied, forcing all foreign matter, euch as scale and oxide, outward, and making a perfectly clean and certain weld. The process would be much more complete and satisfactory If the junction of the weld could, in tho operation, be swedged to the pame sire as that of the piece weld and leave the weld clean from scarf. "Whatever tho advantages of the electric process over old methods, the costliness of the machinery required will prove an obstacle to the blacksmith of small means." "As to screws. I find a machine in the ex position that will revolutionize wood- . ecrew-making," said Mr. Wilbur, the nut and bolt-maker; "but it is from Providence, K. I. It will make sixty screws against seven on the best machine I ever saw. There are on this machine but two movements in making tho screw. The first hammers the wire into the shape cf a screw, tho second makes the thread and slot. I find foreign machines make more machine screws than the American, but they turn . A. II A out poor worK. we coumni sen xneir product in America," "I have seen nothing very new in wirepulling," 6aidMr. Waldeck, the wire-drawer of Cleveland, "but I have just seen a machine which was in use in loOl. It will only make three feet of wire at one time, but it shows what my trade was in its infancy." "The most notable thing in my trade is the absence of light vehicles in France," eaid Mr. Knipht, the carriage man. "The carnages for unvine are all heavy, fctuce I have been in l'rris I h.-ive seen but one buggy, and I asked a French carriage man where it came from. Oh.' eaid he, 'that was imported from America 4 by a wealthy man as a sort of curiosity. "l tio not Know," continued Mr. Knight, "why buggies are not used, unless it is because the middle classes do not ride at all in their own conveyances. The wealthy' havo tho big. lumbering vehicles, and tho middle and lower classes.walk or ride iu hired conveyances built in imitation of those of the wealthy." "As to agricultural implements,7 said Mr. Kcdinger, of Akron, "I haven't seen a good machine since I came to France, except such as I find from Americx Even their plows here are too rough iu finish to scour l TM v : i 1.'., rope for tilling the soil are too rough and clumsy to sell tt alk in America or to give1 any degree of satisfaction if they were sold."
