Commerce Of she United states.


The Now York Journal of Commerce
enlarges its statistical exhibits in re-
gard to foreign trade, 30 as to show tho
commerce Of the United States at all
tho ports instead Of New York alone.
This comprises no less than ninety
four ports of entry, and has reference
to tho year 1874, ending with Decem.
Der 3lst. The total foreign imports
into the United States for the time
amounted in gold value, exclusive of
freight and duty. to $577,3G9.7ll, .
falling of Of nearly $l00,OOO.0OO a.
compared with 1872, and Of s47, ,5OO, 600
as compared with 1873. The exports,
including specie, give : favorable
showing. They amounted last year
to $649, ,699, ,62S which Il over SO, ,OOO. 600
In excess Of the exports OF 1879, and
over $llOO0,OOO In excess Of l073

The domestic produce alone shows .
oousiderable gain. This 10 4 gain OF
nearly 900. .000, 600 In the trade balance,
counting the falling Of OF importe.
Nearly $500. .000, 600 Of this import and
export trade was with Great Britain :

Canada fourth, and Brazil dfth.
American bottoms carried about 4

The result Of the lato election in
Michigan is not of q character to dis
hearten the Republicans. Msrston,
the Republican candidate for Supreme
Judge, was elected over his Democrat.
ic opponent, Norris, by more than
twenty-five thousand majority. The
Detroit Tribune says:
"The vote cast is tho largest ever
polled at spring election in the State
of Michigan, one of the largest ever
polled in the State at any electisn. Mr..
Marston received nearly five thousand
more votes than were cast for Cover.
nor Bagley last fall, while Mr.. Norris
is nearly fifteen thousand behind
Chamberlin's vote. The official vote for
Regents Of the University is not yet
announced, but the average majority
for the Republican candidates will
probably not be less than 10000. 1t ia
evident that the tidal wave has taken
backward course In Michigan, and
she bids fair to stand as nearly at the
head Of the column of Republican
States in 1875 as she did III 1872.

ST. Louis, May 6-The Glo6e's JET.
terson City special says scheme has
Just come to light there to rob the
State of several million dollars. A
commission Of War Claims sat at JEFF
terson City last week, and allowed
nearly S5,0o0.000 claims, and issued
certificates 10 claimants to nearly that
sum. These certificates are not to bs
paid, however until the Government
agrees tore-imburae the State therefor.
and OF this there is little hope. These
certificates are worth about two cents
on the dollar. The swindle in the case
is asserted TO be that these claims,
with the exception of few Thousand d
dollars. are bogus, tho names being
used are of men who have been dead
ten years.

LONDON, May "a Paris correspon-
dent of the Times teiegraphs that
great uneasiues3 is felt in all well in.
formed circles. la Paris il Ia asserted
that peace or war depends on the ap-
proachiDg meeting of the Car and
German Emperor. The beliefis based
on the fact that a powerful party in
Germany, comprising the military ele-
ment, believe the late treaty was too
lenient.
France is rapidly organizing, and
will soon be able to furnish formid-
able army for alliance with other
powers, and germany is no richer
than before the war, and cannot long
support the expense of her military
force, but cannot disarm while France
IS so powerful.
The Germans firmly believe that to
tiDish with Franco il now q dutv to
Germany and humanity.

as to necessitate new one. Except
for tho lucky circumstance above mon
toned the boat would undoubtedly
have burned to the waters edge, -
the fire had got well under way before
It was discovered, and thcro was NO
fire in the boilers 30 the big engines
werc not available for pumping.
The affair created considerable ex-
element for short time. Many OF
the occupants, including several pas
ecngcrs, were still in bed, and the
alarm of IRE created panic among
them on . small scale. They partially
dressed themselves, gathered their ef-
fects together and made . rapid exit
from the boat. There was . lively
scramble for baggage. Some amusing
as well q exciting scenes occurred.
Tho engineer, in his haste, got his
pants on wrong end up. He ran mp
stairs into the cabin, shouting water.
The second clerk Of the boat hadn't
heard tho alarm yet, and euppossd the
engineer was choking to death. So he
commenced hammering him on the
back and shouted to the cabin boy
'for Gods sake bring > pitcher Of
water" One Of the chambermaids
got very much excited. STE threw .
