WHILE New York City has made ex-
tensive preparations for the proper cele-
bration of the Washington centennial

turns from the bureau OF statistics.
There has been an increase both in our
export and import trade for the period
covered by the last nine months Of 1883
and the first three months of the present
year as compared with the correspond
ing time of 1878. AS the gain has
been mostly made in the first quarter of
1889, it is reasonable to infer that our
foreign trade will assume large proper
tions during the next few months.

WE PREFER not to discuss the new
million-dollar depot project with its
viaduct attachment until the railroad
companies have formally laid their
proposition before the city authorities.
Omaha wants better depot facilities,
ana should have long since been re-
lieved from the danger of the Tenth
street crossing. But we want some
thing more than a grand depot
building with accessible approaches.
We want ali the railroads that termin-
ate across the river to run in and out OF
that depot without hindrance, and
unless such an arrangement is included
in the programme of the railroad COM
panies, we would not vote a dollar to
any depot, even if it was to be built OF
Mexican onyx and lined with ebony.

consideration OF which the latter
has already received valuable con-
cession, aud which must neces-
sarily be inimical to the United States.
We have heretofore referred to the visit
OF Count Bismarck to England, his con-
ference with Salisbury, and his reported
expression on his return home OF COM
plete satisfaction with the result of his
mission. 1t was merely conjecture
that Germany agreed to pay, as the price
OF England's support of her Samoan
plans, a desirable colony on the coast OF
Africa, but whether this surmise was
correct or not there is every reason to
believe that an arrangement was effected
binding England to sustain in the Berlin
conference the demands OF Germany
regarding Samoa. The dispatches say
there is occasion to believe that Eng
land supports the principle OF German
demands, and we venture to predict
that this will be found to be about all
England's representatives in the con-
ference will do. The probability is that
they will not have single proposal to
make on their own account, their utility
being simply in standing with the Ger
man representatives against any pro-
position coming from the American side
not approved by the German govern
ment. If this shall prove to be the case
the chances are great that the confer
ence will be failure.
The reported instructions to the
American commissioners are of a char
acter that will require decided conces-
sions from the German government,
some of which there is every reason to
believe it will decline to make. Yet
they are of so reasonable and just a
nature that our government will not be
likely to recede from them. A pro-
longed controversy is therefore not i'm
probable. The conference will open, it
is understood, to-day, and its progress
will be regarded with widespread in

away without bidding the family good-by.
On entering the room the servants found
