Il YEARS FOREIGN TRADE.

From valuable article in the March
number of the Youths Companion we
extract the following
The exchange of products between this
country and lands beyond the sea in
creases steadily. The returns showing
the extent of the foreign trade for the
calendar year 1890 have recently been
issued. They show that goods were i'm
ported to the value of eight hundred and
twenty-three million dollars; the value
of domestic goods exported was eight
hundred and forty-six millions.
OF the importations of the year 1890
rather more than one-third of the value
consisted of goods free of Luty. The
value OF free goods was two hundred and
eighty-eight millions; of those subject to
duty five hundred and thirty five million.
The largest single item of importation
was coffee, of which more than eighty
four million dollars worth was received
during the year. This, however, was
but one million dollars more than the
value of sugar and molasses, which has
heretofore always held the first place on
the list.
The value of textile goods imported is
also very large, in spite of the efforts
made to secure the market of these goods
to domestic manufactures Woollens
and worsted goods imported were worth
nifty millions; silk forty-one mil
lions cotton thirty three millions; linen,
hemp and jute twenty-seven millions.
Other important items of importation
are chemicals and drugs forty-six
millions, and iron and its manufactures
forty-four millions. The articles we have
mentioned represent quite one half of the
total value, of imports. There are no
other articles of nearly SO much inn
portance as any one of these.
On the export side the trade is even
more closely confined, in its large items,
to a few articles. Not less than two
hundred and fifty-four millions of dollars
was the value of cotton exported, and
this alone stands for thirty per cent. of
the total. TB5 = .-1GY4a
i Provisions is second on the list, one
hundred and forty three millions; bread
stuffs third, one hundred and forty-two
millions; and petroleum, crude and re-
fined, fifty millions, is next. There
is no other class of goods which repre-
sents as much as forty millions. But
the merchandise enumerated includes
nearly three-fourths of the value of
American exports. w. asi-
Where do we buy, and where do we
sell? The returns of trade by countries
are not complete, but the character of
the foreign commerce does not change
much from year to year.
By far the greatest amount of trade is
with Great Britain. One-fourth of all
the imports are from that country, and
one-half the exports are sent there
Germany is second and France third,

FEDERAL MONEY FOR OREGON.

Senator Frye Thinks This State Beats
All for Getting Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Mitchell sat in the same restaurant a
few days ago with a party of friends, when
committee on commerce, entered and
sat down. After the senators had ex-
changed greetings, Mr.. FRYE asked Mr.
Mitchell when he was going home.
In month or two," remarked Mr..
supreme court, and am at work prepar-
ing briefs.''
when is Dolph going homer" asked
Mr.. Frye.
e"Oh, he will be here for some time
yet," responded Mr.. Mitchell.
"Well, the treasury of the United
Oregon men have gone home" /" remarked
Mr.. Frye ''That state has way of get
ting money in appropriations which
beats anything | ever saw"
1--WE have been rather successful at
this session." replied Senator Mitchell,
and, turning to his friends, said ST am
afraid they are laying this up against us,
and in future congresses we may be met
with the assertion that we have been
well treated in the past, and must not
expect SO much in the future. However,
we will try and keep the things going
that are under way, and get as much
more as we can.
1t is a fact that the success of Oregon
in the matter of appropriations during
the present congress has caused great
deal OF talk at the capital.

disease as a punishment for sin: @
DO you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done II you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is a thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only necessary
to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two days time. Try it

Rev. Willard Scott, of Omaha, thus
sums up the outcome of the work of the
majority of the late Nebraska legislature
residence of sixty days at the capital
has wrought a transformation which was
not expected by the alliance men them
selves nor by others, and the prompt
withdrawal by investment companies of
all money offered for loans has made the
transformation permanent. The legis-
lators do not now think as they did in
November when they were elected, es-
pecially those who have come from the
outlying districts. The atmosphere of a
city of 55, 900 people, with four universi-
ties and scores of professors and profess
sional men, has been wholesome and
corrective. Many of these teachers are
students of social and political science,
and have developed the thoughts of the
city and neighboI hood to their was of
thinking. A dozen other special schools
in this section of the state have done the
same. Entering upon this atmosphere,
the alliance men have first begun to
doubt their own ideas, and then to
change them, and before the local strifes
over state officers was settled sufficiently
to enable them to come to the considera-
ton of new laws, they were unwilling
to carry out the plans they had come to
the city to make. Visitors sitting in the
gallery could see change from week to
week, and the men themselves felt 1t.

pFpOPT ON ITNDERVALUhTION

Washington, May 5.-The conference Of local ap-
praisers held at New-York last month has made a
special report upon the subject OF discriminating values
or undcrvaluaton of foreign merchandise in favor OF
purchasers or consignees in the United states by
means of exceptional discounts or otherwise Ihey
say that the practice is pernidous, opens wide the
door to fraud and tends TO paralyne American in
dustries. The difficulties experienced by appraisng
officers In checking this and at the same time standing
firmly against public opinion that the prices
paid by American purchasers constitute dutabe values
regardless of wholesale prices is discussed The con-
cs,0n is that the act of June TO- 1890 must govern
in prescribing the method Of ascertaning the actual
market value of such merchandise as is bought and
sold in the usual wholesale quantities. in the
principal markets Of the country whence imported v
taking account Of cartons and all charges.

his recent partners the liquor men have been giving

pubncans from enactlng Justice Murray proceeded 70
flood the hall with his familiar brand OF oratory Az
ter eulogizng Hill OF the greatest statesmen OF
modern times he told his hearers that the senator
Governor had greater capacity for leadership than
any Democrat the state had ever produced warming

nor Horatio Seymour, nor Samuel j. Tllden Every

GENERAL BRYANTS RAILROAD PROJECTS.
TO the Editor of The Tribune
SIR / notice a dispatch, dated Baltimore. May .,
and published in your issue OF the Sd, referring to an
offer made by me to the city of Baltimore for the pur
chase of its interest in the Western Maryland Railroad
which says:
General Bryant admitted to-day in an interview
that he represented the syndicate controlling the Norol
and Western and the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroads.
This is mistake for in all interviews upon the sub
ect most positively declined to admit who my as
sociaes were, and did not name any persons or cor
pornton. In Justice to the parties referred to in the
dispatch above quoted permit to that the state
ment is without foundation and that have had no con
ference the subject whatever direct or ndIect

AND HIMSELF.


EXCITEMENT IN BowERY REsoRT-NO WIT
NEssEs OF THE SHOOTING.
The Excelsior Concert Hall, in the Bowery,
Ayas the scene of murder and suicide at
IL o'clock last night. Ida Brevoort, one
Of the singers, was shot in the right temple by o
man whose name is thought TO be VIII
bur. lie shot himself Immediately after
ward. and death in both cases was
instantaneous. There were about 400 people in
the hall at the time, and great excitement pre-
vailed.
The man entered the hall about 1890 o'clock
and seated himself at one of the
tables Ida Brevoort was then on the
stage singing Wilbur called waiter, and
sent. request to Miss Brevoort that he might
be allowed to see her. She sent back the reply that
she did not want to see him. lew minutes
afterward Wilbur called another waiter and re-
peated his message to the singer. Inc answer
was the same.
When Miss Brcvoort left the stage, she entered
small reception-room where the sing
ers were accustomed TO 20 a1ter thelr
performances Wilbur probably watched MS
opportunity, and entered the little room when no
one was looking.
Al II o'clock three pistol shots were
heard by the startled crowd. In the
little room on the floor were the bodies Of the
man and the woman. both dead. The singer
had evidently just entered from the stage before
Wilbur went into the room. What paHed be-
tween them is not known. Two of the
shots that made known the tragedy were
fired at her, both entering her right temple. AS
her body fell from the chair to the foor her mur.
derer completed his work by putting bullet
into his own brain.
The identity of the man could not be fully
established but from cards and pawn-tick-
cts in his pocket it was found that
his name was probably William, and he seemed Ito to
thirty wears old and had been handsome
and popular singer in the concert halls in
the Bowery. She was said to be married. married

near Sixth-ave. until few weeks ago.
