THROWN From A WAGoN.-Last Satur-
day evening as John Riccard was starting
home in light spring wagon. and when
opposite H. E. Harris store his horses from
some unknown reason sprang suddenly for
ward and the forward wheels striking a
cross walk, the seat on which Mr.. R. was
sitting became detached from its fastenings
and threw him out of the wagon, striking
the ground with considerable violence. His
shoulders first struck the ground, and by
almost miracle he was not hurt other than
the jar.

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-A Mr.. Hoovenden
who we are informed lives at or near
French's prairie, while travelling the road
from here to the Yaquina bay this week
with a team and vehicle containing eight
or ten persons. went off the grade over
the bluff, the vehicle tipping over and bury
ing its occupants SO completely that it took
some time to extricate them from their per-
ilous condition.
A lady whose name we have not learned
had her leg badly broken. DR.. Boswell
came along on his way to this place just in
time to render the necessary surgical and
medical aid. Our informant states that the
road at that place was sufficiently wide so as
to permit vehicles to easily pass each other.
We have not learned of any special reason
why this accident occurred at place where
the road is of such width.

in that year were only $685., 479, 922, and the
Increase in eight years has been nearly
$3.50, 100000, or over ~ per cent. The
exports of domestic products were only
2S,39S,908 ten years ago, and now they are
1888, SOS, 105, an increase of over LOG per cent.
During the same ten years the net imports have
increased from $505, SO2, Ala to 1924, 141, S51,
or only 10 per cent. This comparison most
fairly expresses the state of our trade with
foreign countries since the foreign exports
and a corresponding amount of imports really
represent only goods in transit The aggregate
commerce of the country in merchandise was
$963,OO0,OOO in 1871, and $1,545, 100000 in
1881, but only Sis 1889, 437 of the increase
was in goods imported for our own consump-
ton, while $455, 469, 1877 of the increase was
in goods of domestic production sold to for
eign consumers.
The recent course of the foreign trade has
not been in correspondence with these surpris-
ing figures; the decline in exports during the
months of May and June has been consider
able. Nor has that decline been balanced by
corresponding decline in imports. But it is
well understood that the recent condition of
the domestic markets has been such as to
check exports materially, and there is reason
to look for an enormous excess of exports over
imports of merchandise during the year upon
which we have just entered.

UTILIZING ANTHRACITE COAL Dust.

The problem of utilizing for fuel the enor-
nous accumulations of coal dust in the anthra-
cite regions 'of Pennsylvania was partially
solved some years ago by n company which
established works at ROndOut, under the au-
spices of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany, and is making large blocks of pressed
fuel for the use of steamboats, and locomotives
A single concern like this might work half q
century, however, without making any sensible
reduction in the masses of material piled up
near the mines. Quite recently further step
has beentaken in the same direction, and one
of even greater Importance, by a Philadelphia
inventor, Mr.. f. +. Loiseau, who, after thirteen
years persistent effort, has at last got machin-
cry in operation which converts the coal dust
into egg shaped Jumps, suitable for combustion
in ordinary stoves.
The difficulty in treating anthracite dust for
fuel is twOfold. First, there must be mingled
with it some binding material which will hold
it together in Jumps while it burns, for if the
Jumps crumble before combustion is completed
the CRATE will be clogged with the dust and the
draft stopped. Second, the process of manu-
facture must be so cheap rs to bring the coal
dust fuel III competition with coal at the lowest
rate coal is sold at. American inventors who
have grappled with this double problem have
hau Httle ana rom European experience.
Pressed fuel is largely used in Europe, but it is
made from bituminous coal dust, which can
easily be rendered adhesive and besides, the
price of fuel is so much greater there than here
that the manufacturer of the artificial article
has larger margin to count upon between the
cost of his product and that of coal Mr.
Loiseau first tried clay rs n binding substance
and coated his egg-shaped Jumps with lime
water. The fuel thus prepared burned WELL
and was exhibited at the Centennial in a sepa-
rate building near Machinery Hall, but little
experience showed that it would not stand the
effect of water Or atmospheric action long with
ont crumbing, so the inventor had to begin
anew. His present process uses n little btu
minous coal dust mixed with the anthracite, and
little cOal-tar pitch. 1t is claimed that n
perfect domestic fuel is produced by the
new process and that the machine now in
operation ut Port Richmond, PHILADELPHIA,
turns out thirteen tons an hour eat a cost of
manufacture so low that profitable business
can be made of transporting the dust from the
mines and converting it into Jumps. Doubtless
this enterprise and the one at Rondout are bat
the beginnings of an important industry which
will in time make of the millions of tons of
anthracite dust now numbering the ground
around tho crushers" at the entrances to the
mines, and will thus open q new source of fuel
supply.

FOREIGN COMMERCE.

The commerce of the United States has
never been greater than in the fiscal year end
ing June 30. The imports of merchandise
amounted to $642 ,593,2l9, and this amount
has never been exceeded except i'm the pre-
vious year, when the value of imports was
$6G7,954, TAG. But the decline of $25, OOO, 900
in value of imports was due almost wholly to
the fall in prices of imported articles, and,
Notwithstanding a similar decline in prices,
the value of exports of merchandise reached
5000, 1919, 473, the largest amount for any pre-
vious year having been about $67, 900, 900 less
in 1880. On the whole, the excess of exports
over imports is not quite as large as it was in
the fiscal year 1879, though it was only
$4,000, 900 less, and amounted to 81 So 726, 254.
No wonder exchange is weak, and the shrewd-
est bankers are anticipating that the flow of
gold this way will begin much earlier this sea-
son than usual.
The balance of $259,726,254 on merchan-
disc account was ONLY met in part by an ex-
cess OF sol, 16S, $50 in imports over exports OF
gold and silver. There has never been year
in which the excess of imports over exports
OF specie has been greater In the year 1880
it was only $75, 1871 1891, and in no other
year has it ever amounted to $4,000, 900.
In effect, the world bought goods amounting
paid $642, 100000 in goods and 1871 200, 600
in specie, leaving balance of $16S, 1857, GOA
unliquidated. But part of this went to pay
cost of transportation, and part to pay inter-
est on bonds and dividends on stocks held
abroad, and yet there remained large bal
ance due this country for which no settlement
seems yet to have been made.
The specie movement, as respects its rela-
tons to the currency, was even more remark
able. The imports of gold during the fiscal
year amounted to $1OO,024, 400, against only
$50, 75S,396 in the previous year, and in no
other year has the amount been nearly as
large But some gold was sent abroad, so
that the excess OF imports over exports of
gold was only $97,452, 1877. On the other
hand, part of our surplus silver went abroad
as merchandise, and the excess of exports over
imports OF that metal was $6,2s4,O87. The
excess of imports over exports of gold alone
during the fiscal year 1850 was $77,1I9,371.
so that the addition to the gold reserves of
the country during two years has been
$l74, 572, Jos, besides all the gold produced
by American mines and not used in the arts.
The enormously disproportionate growth of
domestic exports deserves especial notice. In
1878 the value of imports was $642, 136,21O;
only trifie less than the value during the
year just closed. But the merchandise exports

illicit impOrtations. United States Custom
officers search what is brought into this cOun-
try-be it merchandise or baggage. 1t is for
England to search what is imported thither
Our Custom House will render prompt and
efficient aid whenever she apprises us of an
exigency; but this is matter of national
courtesy.
The suggestion has also been made on the
other side that the principles on which England
was required to pay damages for the depreda-
tons of the Alabama expose the United States
to an obligation to prevent these expectations
The principle of the Alabama decision was
that Great Britain had neglected to enforce her
neutrality laws, whereby the commerce of the
United States had been devastated by the rebel
cruisers. Now, neutrality" implies war.
When the Alabama receiving her equip
ment in a British shipyard the rebellion OF
the Southern States had assumed the proper
tons of a civil war armies had been raised,
military stores accumulated battles fought, q
blockade proclaimed, privateers commissioned.
England and Ireland are not at war. Ire
land is clamorng for reforms in English law
and policy that is all. Until there is war,
or unless what is done in this country and
complained of by England amounts to prepar-
ing for or threatening war, no case for mvok-
ing neutrality laws can arise. Any parallel
between the fitting out of the Alabama, long
continued and notorious, and the secreting in
merchandise of implements for proposed acts
of private violence, is ludicrously inappropri-
ate. The United States respects and obeys
the principle of the Washington Treaty, but
it has no application here.
The law of the United States which has been
violated by the transportation of these infer
nal machines is one passed in 1865, pri-
marily intended for the protection of passen-
gers 1t fOrbids transporting nitrOglycerine
Cor eithor of similar explosives enumerated),
upon or in any vessel employed in transporting
passengers in foreign commerce. etc. The
penalty is fine of not less than 81, 900 nor
more than $4,000, one half to the use of the
infOrmer. And if the death of any person is
caused by an explosion of the article while
being carried contrary to law, the persons
responsible are liable to imprisonment of not
less than two years, as for mansaugh-
ter Stringent regulations and penalties are
also imposed for sending these explosives in
freight vessels, unless they be peculiarly
packed and labelled. This law has been vio-
lated; and thus our police and magistrates
have power IA inquire and bring to justice the
persons in this country who may be proved
responsible for the shipment, if they can be
identified. England may also depend upon
American sympathy in hearty detestation of
any and all schemes for coercing or terroTizing
the course of government by devices of assas-
sination or destructive violence. On this sub
ject the feelings of our people are, just now,
especially keen and sensitive.

the increase 1T New-YOrk was due to specula-
ton in stocks, it appears that after deducting
twice the market value of stocks sold during
the month the increase is still nearly 80 per
cent.
Reports of speedy settlement of trunk line
controversies have been current, but do not
appear to have other foundation than this:
that such dispute cannot ever be kept up
long, and that the very managers who have
been most averse TO q settlement are said
to have been buying stocks. AS they are not
persons who are supposed to be inclined to
run eleemosynary institutions for the public
convenience, it may be safely inferred that
they will patch up all differences whenever it
suits their private interests, and that they will
neglect to mention the circumstance to the
public until the settlement has been privately
made for several days. In The Produce Er-
change Bulletin of Friday last estimates are
given that the probable yield of wheat
in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Iowa will
be SO,5OO,OOO bushels less than it was last
year; but that eve commence the crop year
with upward of 50,O0O,000 bushels of old
wheat on hand" about half in the Pacific
States, and that the yield of winter wheat in
Kansas and of spring wheat in Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Dakota may be expected to
show an increase. Nebraska might also be
added with reason, and if the gain in these
States and Oregon is as much as 10000, 600
bushels, the decrease in yield of wheat, ac-
cording to he Bulletins figures, will only
about equal the amount of old wheat left on
hand from last years crop. me
