The Whisky Inquiry.

Senator Window made report Tuesday
of the conclusions reached by bis committee
appointed to investigate the charges that
money had been eorluptly used to secure
the passage in the house Of the whisky bond
bill. The report says the committee do not
find that any money has been used corrupt
" to promote the passage of the bill in
question. The report deals largely with
the testimony Of the whisky men from Chi
cago, mainly, and copies verbatim resolu-
tons showing that strenuous efforts were
made to raise money for the purpose Of
using money at Washington to promote the
paDoge ofthe bond bill. The money raised
Tor this purpoes reached the aggregate Of
500 600. Mr.. Window makes It very dis
tinct that where 90 much money was
raised there Was strong reason for believing
that It was being used corruptly to oinduence
legiseation in this direction.

The Work Of an Earthquake.

From Galegnani's.
On the 18th and 18th Of last month.
siena, Italy, was visite d by series Of
alarming earthquake shocks. The SOL
diers were all turned out of the barracks,
and the people rushed out of the houses
on to the Liza for safety. The houses
rocked; the plaster came tumbling down
the chimneys. The shocks were repeat
ed, some strong, some weak, throughout
the day at intervals of = quarter to half
an hour. The bells were rung; the
thrice-holy Madonna del Vuoto was un-
covered. Some of the nobility, afraid of
their own houses, had their carriages
dragged on to the Lizza and slept there
in the open air. At z in the morning
there came shock ~ strong and terri
fying as if mine had been sprung un-
der the city. After that the force Of the
conclusion decreased. As t. the causes
Of the phenomenon. there can he no
doubt, . correspondent asserts, that It
was owing to the municipality having
just put up two tablets to Garabaldi.

The growth Of material wealth in the
United States is something marvellous.
There is nothing like it in the whole his.
tory OF mankind. \ late publication
contains facts and figures from the pen
OF IN English statistician, drawn from
the best auth critics that are astonishing
TO those who have only been possessed
Of general information. Two Of the
principal factors Of national power are
men and money. In ten years, popnla-
ton has increased in round numbers,
from g, ,OOO,0 600 IT, 10000, 600; wealth
from $3l ,00O, ,0OO, 600 to $+s, ,OOO, 900, 600
and per inhabitant, from $50 to $3.50
In 1910 Great Britain possessed five
times the wealth owned by the
United States. AMI while the
wealth OF the former country has only
doubled within the past four decades. that
Of the latter has increased twelve fold
The growth Of wealth in the decade Just
ended is sufficient to buy up the whole
Austrian empire, or to pay for the aggrt:-
gate value Of Italy, Holland, and Belgi-
um. Since 1870 the valne OF railways has
increased at the rate Of nearly one mil
lion dollars IL day, Sunday excepted. The.
mileage Of railway has increased from
IS, 600 to 81 900; capital from - 2O0O, ,OOO,
600 to 5000, ,0OO and the rail-
way capital per inhabitant, from
$62 to $lO4. Our agriculture, more than
anything else, shows the unprecedented
rise Of industry in the United States in
one single generation. While the pop
ulation has only trebled since lSl0, the
growth Of the agricultural interest has
been fivefold, and whether we regard the
value Of crops Or Of cattle, the per capita
is abont double what it was about fortv
years ago. The most remarkable in
crease has been in the manufacture of
iron and cotton. The former has in
creased from !, $50, 900 to 4,ltO, COO tons
in ten years, while in the latter the
''''HtS has riss% from % 40 Sux 'Soo,on ''ts t.
9l1 ,O00,000 pounds-that is, from II to
l8 pounds per inllabitant. While our
shipping interest declined from 5,:}54 600
tons in 1850 to 4,2l3, GOO tons in 1880, yet
our foreign trade has steadily increased.
The value Of imports have doubled since
1850, and multiplied tenfold since 1910.
The exports have increased from &, ,OOO, ;
0o0,0o0 in 1870 to S, ,000, ,0OO, 600 in 1880;
and the total of imports and exports
from $685., 900, 600 to l,5OO, ,0O0, 900, or
from $22 to $50 for each inhabitant
