Report of Consul General Mnaon to the State Department. WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.-Germany Is how passing through a period of reflection, self-examination and a somewhat vague uncertainty as to her future, according to United States Consul General Mason, at Frankfort, who has transmitted to the State Department a comprehensive review of the conditions which have been productive of a threatening crisis in many branches of German Industry. "In many branches of trade and manufacture the limit of profitable production seems' to have been reached," says Consul General Mason, "and this, together with the scarcity and high rate of money incident to liberal investments in all sorts of Improvements and new enterprises, ha3 brought on a relapse which has recently caused a general decline in most Industrial securities. 'Thoughtful Germans," says Mr. Mason, "are at a lots to determine whether the distressing condition of textile, hardware nnd other branches of trade is the Inevitable reaction following a protracted period of intense activity or wnether a serious critic in thes-e industries is at hand. The temporary stoppage of exports to South Africa and to China is felt to be responsir Lie in large measure for present conditions. "Asid.; from the local conditions which exist in Germany," says the consul general, "by far the most important and ominous element in the problem i. the new and enlarged role which has been assumed by the United Stated as a source of supply of coal and metals. The first reports that American coal had found a market in France and Italy and had even been tested successfully for gas-making purposes in London were received here with an Incredulity amounting to resentment. While dealers and certain consumers hailed the prospect of a new source of supply from beyond the Atlantic with delight the general sentiment of the press was distinctly hostile and incredulous." Consul General Mason recounts the .Incidents that gradually awakened Germany to the unquestioned superiority of American coal. A test of Ohio on the Bavarian State Railway proved It superior to the best of native coal. The great transatlantic German steamship lines were found to be using the American article exclusively, and the big Deutschland before setting out to break the speed record of the sea filled up her bunkers at New York. "There was no arguing against these facts." says Mr. Mason, "and when a short time ago it was announced that West Virginia .gas coal had been tested at Hamburg and f)und superior to the Cardiff standard the conclusion became unavoidable that only scarcity of tonnage and exorbitant freights stand between the coal famine prices in Germany and the exhaustless deposits of the United States." Something of the present Industrial depression is attributed to uncertainty as to what legislation will be enacted in the Reichstag on the future fiscal iolicy of the empire. A number of reciprocal commercial treaties will expire in 1902. and as their effect has been to powerfully promote Germany's industries and her exports their re-enactment or reteetlon I awnltpd with deep interest. CLAIMS HACK PAY. Salt BronRht by- n Chaplain I'ndor the Xnvnl Personnel 7)111. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Alfred Lee Royce, a chaplain of the navy, ha brought on action in the Court of Claims, based upon a construction of the naval personnel bill, for $1.500 back pay, which, if decided la his favor, would result in the payment of considerable back pay to all officers and, warrant officers of the navy appointed from civil life. The action Is based upon the clause in the personnel act providing that "aLl officers, including warrant officers, who have been, or may be appointed from civil life, shall, on the date of their appointment, be credited for computing their pay with live years service." The chaplain In the navy ranks as lieutenant. Ills longevity pay, a3 well as that of all officers, does not begin until the end of the five years service. In the case of Itoyce, who was appointed in 15S1, it would amount to $2ü0 per year for five years. If his claim Is good, all other officers, surgeons, paymasters and warrant officers have a claim for longevity pay from the date of their entrance into the service. Controller of the Treasury Tracewell h.is given an opinion against the validity of Itoyce's claim, contending that the Intent FAIR AND COLDER. X Market!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The State Department has received notice from an attorney for the Faribault Company of the purpose of that company to submit a formal application for the intervention of the United States government in its behalf to prevent the loss of its concession In Venezuela. Minister Loomis is now in Washington, and he will acquaint himself with the case and probably submit it to the Venezuelan government whtn he returns to Caracas in about a week, providing it is deemed proper to present it at all. So far as the department Is advised up to this moment there has been no such denial of Justice by the Venezuelan government as would warrant a protest, and ir: Its present aspect the matter Is really a contest between two private organizations for the same valuable commerclaV privileges. When It shall appear that the Venezuelan courts either have declined to net or have denied Justice the department will act. Meanwhile the Venezuelan government has been asked to see that justice Is done In the courts. Meredith Seeking Ills Former Place. Syeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Capt.

Claims Against the Roers. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. A number of persons claiming to be American citizens have submitted to the State Department claims against the Boers for the destruction of their property and injuries to their business in the late South African Republic and Orange Free State. No decieions have been arrived at as to what disposition shall be made of these cases. x WHAT CHINA MUST DO. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) tee has adopted a resolution indorsing the government's plan of policy and especially its decision to protect German interests. The Cologne Volks-Zeltung to-day points out that "There are growing indications of sharp opposition to the government's China policy." Herr Maximilian Harden, In the Zukunft, ridicules the Imperial chancellor. Count Von Buelow, as "the Kaiser's agile manager," and calls upon the Reichstag to "regain the lost confidence of the German people through an energetic opposition to the China policy of the government." The German Foreign Olflco emphatically denies a statement cabled from London that negotiations for an extension of the Anglo-German agreement are in progress. CHINESE AROUSED. Summary Execution of Ofletals Causing; Mnch Bitterness. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. It Is understood that the Chinese authorities at Peking have been profoundly 3 roused by some of the executions of Chinese officials which have taken place recently and that they have made known in an official way their surprise and regret that this should be done while the peace negotiations are going on. It appears that the execution of the acting viceroy of Chl-LI is looked upon as peculiarly reprehensible. This acting viceroy served during the absence of Li Hung Chang at Peking, occupying his yamen and In all ways executing Earl Li's functions while he was conducting the peace mission. His headquarters were established at Pao-Ting-Fu, whence the allied forces under the Gorman commander recently directed their expedition. It Is said that the acting vcleroy made no opposition to the advance of the German and other allied troops, although he had an army capable of resisting. He Is said to have come out from the city to meet the allies and to have turned over his yamen t them. From the Chinese standpoint, China is herself proceeding to punish the guilty otuclals and tne question of punishments is also being considered in the neKotlaMons now progressing. Chinexe officials maintain, therefore, that this summary execution of one of the highest officials, while he Is said to have Wen noncombatant anil peaceful. Is extraordinary and calculated to stir up animosity among the Chinese people, which there is every desire to avoid. The Chinese minister made a call on Secretary Hay to-day mainly for the purpose of getting news on the progress of affairs. When asked as to the execution of te acting viceroy of Chl-LI he wuu'.d make no statement, although it Is understood that ho is fully advised of the felirs of detp concern which prevails among the Chine. officials at Peking concerning this act and others of a similar character. Ilrltnln Protests to lluasln. LONDON.

Three days' enforced absence from his post of duty on the part of D. S.

REVEALED BY AN ARREST

FIRST .ATIOAL IlAMv OF XASIIVILLIl DEFItAl DED. DnsinesM Man Charged with Acting In ColluKltm with u IJookkecper The Latter Miskln;;. j NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 12. The arrest of T. P. Brady on a federal warrant sworn out by F. O. Watts, cashier of the First National Bank, has stirred up a sensation in Nashville. The firm of Connor & Brady, composed of J. II. Connor and T. P. Brady, wholesale grocers and liquor dealers, made an assignment to-day, and the arrest of Brady followed. In this connection the disappearance last July of W. W. Lea, an Individual bookkeeper of the First National Bank, is explained. The two are charged with collusion in defrauding the bank out of $44,000. It appears that Bookkeeper Lea left on his vacation July 15 last and at the expiration of his two weeks' rest failed to return to his desk. Lea bad been a trusted employe of the Institution for over twentytwo years, and his failure to return upon the date set caused little concern among the bank oiHcials, but as the days rolled on without tidings from the missing bookkeeper they commenced an Investigation of his bank affairs. It was discovered that the account of Brady & Connor was wrong, and experts were put to work. It is charged that false entries aggregating $56,000 had been made by the bookkeeper In the accounts of this firm, extending over a period of five years; that over $22,0u0 of this amount had been fraudulently obtained since May 1, 1&2, up to the date of Lea's departure, and that the work was carried on by Lea by increasing the amounts of the firm's deposits on the journals of the institution and decreasing the amount of the checks drawn by the firm against the bank, following this transaction with false extension balances. It is alleged in the charges that the bookkeeper would, upon a certain date, make an entry through which the bank would be defrauded of a certain sum of money and later on make such alterations, always through the accounts of the firm, as would reduce the shortage. By operating this scheme it is alleged the two men drew from the bank $36,000 in cash, but through the system of entries had paid back, through the firm's account, the sum of $12,000, leaving a net shortage to the bank of $44,000. The bank officials then held a consultation with Connor & Brady. It is said that Brady acknowledged the crooked transactions, taking all the responsibility on himself, stating that he had put the money Into the firm's business, with the exception of a small amount which he said he used as an individual. The members of the firm, after the facts were talked over, figured out that Brady had secured something like $23,000 and agreed to reimburse the bank to this extent. Meanwhile tho guarantee company which was on the bond of Lea pushed the matter, with the result that deed of assignment by Connor &. Brady was filed yesterday with the Union Bank and Trust Company, as trustee. In the instrument an overdraft of the First National Bank for the sum of $28,714.72 was mentioned, covering the part of the $44,000 Brady claims to have received unknown to his partner. Rearrest of Bankers. SOMERSET. Ky.. Nov. 12. Renewed Interest was aroused In the defunct Somerset National Bank, when the late president, G. W. Walt, and G. R. Hall, his cashier, were rearrested, together with L. E. Hunt and Cyrus Walt, on the charge of eoneplracy to defraud, on an indictment found by the grand Jury.

His bride, though very Italian In name, is half American and a distant relative of her future husband. Her mother was the beautiful Edith Story, daughter of W. "V. Story, the American sculptor, who won fame In Rome. Many years ago, when the young marquise was a little girl, the mother of Major Eldredge visited In Rome, and there her son met his relative.

An attachment sprang up, and before the titled young woman returned home she had assented to the major's proposal. The Peruzzls and De Medlels belong to the most powerful Roman Catholic families In Italy, and mu:h persuasion was necessary to Indue them to accept Major Eldredge as a suitor for the young marquise's hand, he being a Protestant. But the bride-elect has recently becom a Protestant, and now all opposition Is removed. CANNOT GET JUSTICE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) latlons to President McKinley on his reelection.

Fla., Nov. ll-Dr. John Gulteras, of Havana, arrived In th city to-day. He Is a professor in the Medical University of Havana and holds an appointment under Governor General Wood as yellow 'fever expert for that city. Ir. an interview to-night he said: 'There is no more yellow fever in Havana this year than in former years.. More has been heard of it in the States on account of the number of Americans who are in Havana. There were 24.0W Spanish emigrants landed in Havana last winter, and It has been among them that the fever has spread this summer. Three hundred have arrived from Spain thi winter, but we have not allowed them to enter Havana, having erected barracks just outside the city, where they are kept until they are sent to the interior of the Island. I believe that yellow fever will b? stamped out In Havana In the course of the next two or three years. There is noreason why It should exist now If proper precautions are exercised. There was no yellow fever In .Mantanuis or Santiago this summer, and only a mild form In Havana. Kvery house In Havana will be fumigated this winter, and If the dormant germ. can bo exterminated there will I little or no fever In Havana next lumm.'r." BAN JOHNSON SUCCESSFUL.
