Exclusion of Our Meat in Germany
Causes Uncle Sam to Figure on

NEW YORK, Mar. 1. A special to
the Times from Washington says:
Although it is out of the question to
attempt to obtain any official authority
for the assertion that' politics in Ger
many are preparing the way for ser
ious differences between Germany and
the United States in commercial mat

Justify the statement that in case the
law-makers of Germany carry out their
declared purpose of excluding Ameri

meet with retaliation by the United
States.
For a long time, several months, in
fact, negotiations have been at a stand
still on the question of reciprocity with
Germany. Undr the conditions face!

The Ley land Cimi-mv Absorbs th At-
lantic Transport Company's, line
0f t-wwOiip.
.
new YORK. Mar. J. It has been
persistently nniw.vl in shipping lir
cles within the past three days end as
often denied oy the otllciaia suipod
to be most interested that the Ley land
steamship line, controlled bv FroVritk
Leyland & Co , of Liverpool, li.-.s ac
quired absolute contr.d of the Atlantic
Transport Co's Nev York London line
of st"umers and vill assume ail respon
sibility for those interests on May 1.
It was only a ttvt weeis aso lhat the
Atlantic Transport Co. took over the
entire interests of the Wi'son Fvrntss
Leyland line, running Ij-Uvcen New
York and London and Its fle t now con
sists largely of steamships then pur
chased. The rumor that :he business
is to revert back to the original owners
Is inexplicable to shipping men, who ex
pected that the Atlantic Transpjrt line
would absorb the projected Leyland
line, which is to run between Liverpool
and New York.
It Is rumored now that tegotlations
for the absorptl in of the Atlantic
Transport line by the Ixylands have
been pending since the 'itt-?r decided
to come to New York.
Colonel Bernard H. Baker, president
of the Atlantic Transport company,
who has been In Europe f"r several
weeks, is said U. be on his way here
now with the conti-uct for the purchase
of his company's interests.
P. F. S. Franklin, general manager
of the Atlanil? Transport company,
ami Passenger Agent Gibson, of the
Leyland line, denied absolutely that
there is any truth in the rumors of a
deal !etween the two companies.
CHICAGO WOMAN'S LUCK.
She Will Receive One-Fifth of a J20,
000,000 Estate.
CHICAGO, Mar. l.-Mrs. D. B. Ten
Eycke, No. 87 North ivitt street, re
ceived information yesterday that she
will receive probably one-fifth of an
estate valued at more that $20,000,000
left by her uncle, who died . twelve
years ago in Albany, N. Y.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Ten Eycke, the uncle's name was Rous
ler Wandell. His relatives had not
heard from bim in years and had no
idea of his whereabouts or his wealth
until sometime after his death, whtn
tne administrators of the estate bfgan
to look up the rightful heirs. The old
man never married an.l left no will.
Therefore the whole fortune falls to
the children of his brothers and sisters,
five In number. Three of these 'ive
In New York and the other two In Chi
cago. They are Mrs. V. B. Ten Eycke
and John Wandell, a retired Chleugo
& Northwestern engineer.
Several years ago a brother of Mrs.
Ten Eycke who lived in New York,
learned of the existence of the estate,
obtained papers from Rousler Wan
dell's former housekeeper, ny means
of which he proposes having the prop
erty transferred to himself and his
brothers and his sisters. He ht.d al
most concluded the work wnen he died
arid until yesterday, Mrs. Ten Ejcke
knew nothing of the progress In the
case.
Mrs. Ten Eycke ik of middle age and
has a daughter and son.
SAME OLD THING.
Utah Democrats Instruct Delegates
for Bryan and Declare for
Free Silver. -
SALT LAKE, Utah, March 1. The
democratic state convention today
eleetajd six dele-gates to the national
convention and the delegates were
unanimously Instructed to vote for
William J. Bryan for president.
The question of the exclusion of B,
H. Roberts was brought prominently
before the oonVentlon by the following
...
resolution
"Resolved, That the democratic, par
ty of the State of Utah, in convention
assembled, solemnly affirms that the
people of . this state' have kept faith
with the nation and repela upon their
behalf all charges to the contrary as
false and misleading. Therefore, we
deplore the action of th congress of
the United States In refusing to ad
minister the oath of ottW to the member-elect
from this commonwealth."
J, R. Letcher opposed the resolu
tion and said that he regretted that
Mr. Roberta had been brought face to
face with the conditions that had
confronted him and he believed the
same was true of Mr.Koberta.
At thl point Robert arose and said,
if the gentleman supposed for one
mement that he had my regrets on
the subject he was entirely mistaken.
After a long and exciting discussion
the resolution was adopted.
The platform demands the free and
unlimited coinage of both sliver and
gold at the present IcKal ratio of 18
to 1. without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation.
Ex-Congressman W. 11. King was
nominated for representative in con
gress. HOW TO LIVE LONG.
Dr. Cyrus IMsm Records Some of His
Observations.
NKW YORK. Mar. 1. Vddivsslng
the Hundred Year Club last night on
"The Causes of NaturiM I'eath and
How to Attain an Active and Useful
Old A;te." Dr. Cyrus Edson said that
longevity is due to unusual powers
of assimilation. Dr. Edson spoke of
the trades and professions in which
statistics had shown the fatalities to
be earliest.
"Among the most fatal of the trades
were those of steel polishers and pot
ters. Merchants came veil up in the
list for early deaths and it had been
shown that the mortality anions butch
ers afur the as- of 23 Is large. Among
physicians, also, he ald, there is a
hlsrh mortality rate much above the
average, due to Irregularity of living.
On the other hand f irnnrs and hunt
ers, from their open life, often attalne I
old age.
"Hut." he added, "if the Intellectual
parts of the brain of the fanner had
proper activity and exercise, he woul 1
live longer. Rapid thought leads to
longevity. Men In the city In this re
spect have a distinct advantage over
the fanner. Not only is a well balanced
mind essential to -ld age, but a well
balanced active mind."
From this Dr. Edson deduced, "that
nature Is a relentless fool killer."
Statistics show, he added, lhat men
of genius live a remarkably long life.
There should not be more than eight
hours sleep, as too much sleep makes
the sluggard. Exceslve sleep results
in degeneration from disuse of the
mental faculties. After 35 years of
age we never need more than eight
hours, unless It Is to "catch up." The
cry of doctors ten years ago was to
build up the body, but building the
mind Is equally if not more Important.
THE SOMER3 A FAILURE.
Gunboat Purchased From Oermany
Unlit for Service.
NEW YORK. Mar. 1. A sp tlal to
the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long has leports from the
board of Inspection ami survey stating
that the torpedo boat Somers Is In
ni&ny respects unsatisfactory.
The Somers was able to make only
lTH knots and the trial showed that
she was unfit for sea service. The
beard suggests that tn vess.-l be ustd
for harbor defence and states that she
Is not worth .iry great expenditure of
money.
The Somers was purchased on March
2f, 1838, of the Schichau W irks. Elbing,
Germany, for $72,997. It was leported
the Spanish government was negotiat
ing for her purchase and to prevent
her Irom passing into the possesion of
the Madrid government th? American
attache was authorized to pay the
price asked by the Schl:hau Works.
COAL FOR RUSSIA.
Large Purchases Have Been Made of
the American Article.
NEW YORK, Mar. 1. Russia Is like
ly to become a large - onsumer of
American bituminous coal. While no 1
contract has yet been rlgned, represen
tatives of the Ruslan Imperial govern
ment have been making overtures to
the Berwlnd-Whlte Coal Mining Com
pany, looking to the purchase Mid
shipment of nearly half a million toiu
to ports on the Baltic
John B'-rivInd, vice-president of the
coal company, said last night, the only
difficulty consisted in the problem of
freights and transportations. Should
the pending negotiations end success
fully, he naid, he thought likely that
Russia would carry the 'oal in her
own ships, piobably utilizing the nam.
vessels which she will employ to cany
the Iron, steel and ore already con
tracted for with the Carnegie-Frlck
Company.
"With this as an opening wedge."
said Mr. Berwlnd, "I see no reason why
America should not be able to hold up
a large export trade with her In clal."
