THE EFFECT UPON TRADE.
America Will Not Reap All the Benefit Re-
sulting from War.

America Will Not Reap All the Benefit Re-
sulting from War.
LONDON, April 13.-The Bulionist says the
imminence of war will provoke lively discus
sion as to the probable effect upon American
trade. All American securities have advanced
upon the assumption that grain shipments must
imneasurably increase and that otherwise an
important stimulus must be given in various di-
rections. Before following the movement too
readily it would be well to inquire into the re-
lations of trade between the two countries So
far as wheat is concerned, which seems to form
the main point which the more hopeful feel
ing of the spectators is based, it should be
remembered that there are other important
sources of supply To say nothing
of what can be drawn from Australia,
the growth of wheat and corn in
India has developed in measure to make US al
most careless of what America can do. The
visible supply of grain in the United States is at
the present time large, while the stocks in Great
Britain are moderate This, it may be said,
favors the theory upon which American securi-
ties have latterly risen, but as a set off, the
quality OF the American growth is not exactly
suitable to our requirements What is princi-
pally wanted is red wheat and it is perfectly
we'll known that the buik-say eight tenths of
the supply afoat-consists of white. Under
these circumstances then, it is difficult to inn
agine that our cousins across the Atlantic can
very successfully compete with India and Aus
trala producers, both of whom occupy unques
tionably position of advantage in at least the
among London fnanciers that both the banks
and outside markets are considered unusually
well prepared for all contingencies implied by a
state of war.

1t is said by the same authority that the Rus
sian government has offered to buy of Mr.
Roach the three cruisers-Atlanta, Boston and
Chicago, and to take them just as they are, if
the United States government does not want
them. The Atlanta is so far advanced that she
could be gotten ready for sea within three weeks,
if necessary. Secretary Whitney is absent, and
those in authority decline absolutely to speak
upon the subject of Mr.. Roach's letter. There
is precedent for releasing contractor from

LAUNDERING LEGISLATION.
An Omission Of the Enacting Clause Leaves
the State Board Of Health as 1t Is.

The bill passed by the Legislature providing
for the reorganization of the State Board of
Health, which was intended to effect the election
of q new secretary of the board instead of the
present incumbent, Dr. Elder, signally failed in
its purpose, yesterday, through the neglect or
oversight of the Democrats. Before a bill can
become law it must have an enacting clause
The Constitution of the State of In
diana, Section /. Article T. says:
''The style of every law shall be: BE
it enacted by the General Assembly of
Indiana" etc. AS this clause was left
out, the purpose of the bill is not effected,
and the old board will proceed as usual Dr.
Elder will continue to be its secretary until the
Legislature can convene again to pass the bill in
a legitimate way. DIR. Boots, of Greenfield who
was appointed by Governor Gray as a member
of the board, cannot, of course take his position
and the whole scheme falls TO the ground.
Under she old law the board. COM
posed OF four members appointed by
the Governor chose its secretary, who
composed its fifth member The new bill pro-
vided for reorganization of the board, which
should be composed of five persons, the secre-
tary not being member The failure to use
the enacting clause was not discovered by the
Democrats until a few minutes after the Legis
lature had adjourned but Ovid Jameson, one of
the Republican representatives from this city,
discovered the omission short time before noon,
yesterday, and Immediately notified DIR. Elder
by mail of the fact The mistake however, was
discovered too late to be rectifed.
The Democrats are much. chagrined at the
error but blame nobody but themselves. The
whole matter is looked upon as being good
joke, as we'll as piece of fragrant carelessness
The board, as it now Is, consists of Dr. Lomax,
of Marion; Partridge, of South Bend; Leawright
of Lafayette; Fritsch, of Evansville, with DIR.
Elder as secretary. 1t will be governed by the
regulations of the old law until the Democrats
can pass another next Legislature.
