ENcLAND's EXPORT TRADE.
Protectionst Juggling with Figures to
sustain False Position.

Protsctionst Juggling with Figures ca
sustain = False Position.
Senator Aldrich. OF Rhode Island. the
Mckinley Of the United States senate,
has recently attempted TO show that
the system Of protection Is more favor
able to building up nm export trade than
the free trade system. In doing SO he
cites the case OF England. claiming that
the exports Of that country have not
increased rapidly under free trade.
But the senator deals with his figures
in way that can not be called honest.
In comparing British exports in 1860
with those Of 1875 he includes for 1860
exports to British colonies. but when
he came to foot up the exports for 1876,
he suddenly conceived the notion that
exports to the colonies must be excluded,
since the colonies are a part Of the
British empire. and trade with them is
not foreign trade. In this way he cuts
of $3.50. 600, 900 from England's exports
for this latter year, without having
made the corresponding deduction for
1860 Anything could be proven by
such methods.
But England's trade with her colonies
Is foreign trade. Most Of them, indeed,
maintain protective tariffs upon the
products Of the mother country, and tho
commodities which they sell 70 England
are rs much foreign products as the
products 81 Brazil and China are. For
all purposes Of trade India, Australia,
Canada and other British possessions
are foreign countries.
Restoring the $3.50. 600, 900 TO England'i
\ exports for 1876. it will be seen that hel
| total exports increased $500, 000,000 in
stead OF remaining stationary, as tho
1 Rhode Island Mckinley seems 20 claim
\ Nor Is there any truth in his further
claim that our exports have gainet
on those Of England; but they ars
4 further behind British exports thar
they were thirty years ago. Instead q
our exports being so, 600, 900 grcatcl
than those Of England, as was claimed
BY the protcctionist senator, they arr
Ct least $500. 000, 900 less.

The Eavoys of the Congressional
Party at Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 27--Dom Pedro
Montt and his associates. representing the
Chilean congressional party, made no effort
to-day to meet the President or any of the
government officers, and have so far given
no official notice of their presence in Wash
ington or their mission to tho United
States Their position as Representatives of
what is rightly or wrongly regarded in this
country as an insurgent party makes neces-
sary extreme delicacy and the exercise of
tact In their effort to establish communica-
tion with the officials OF this government
1t is therefore probable that their first over
lures will be made only after unofficial
means have been taken to lead up to their
object and make clear the justice Of
their contention that the 30
called insurgeant party should be
accorded the rights of belligerents in the
United States. The principal advantage
expected to accrue from such recognition is
rather Of negative character, as it would
not involve the allowance of the right of
the congressional party to buy arms and
recruit men in the United States, but
would prevent the Balmaceda government
from exercising this right, as il may now.
and would thus place both factions on an
equality.

AN ARMORY ABLAzE.

The Quarters of the Seventy First
Regiment at New York in Ruins.
NEW York. June 27.-The Seventy first
regiments armory was completely gutted
by fire early this morning. 1t is estimated that
the loss is 100000. The roof was burned
and only the grim besoked walls were left
standing. The regiment loses everything.
A big blaze lit up the upper part Of Broad
way for several hours. 1t was $50 O'Clock
before the firemen succeeded in get
ting the fire under control. Just
where the fire started cannot
for the present be definitely ascertaned.
There was high wind blowing at the time.
1t so famed the flames Chat they made their
appearance at all tie windows on Broad
way. and in a short space of time the whole
structure was a mass Of seething flames
The awning Of the Barrett house, block
away. caught fire from flying sparks. For a
time the guests in the hotel were much ex-
ercised. There are number of dwellings
in the vicinity Of the armory, the occupants
of which for time were terror-stricken.
They left their apartments and did not
return until the fire was under control.
LOSSES OF THE REGIMENT.
The members of the regiment had 800
uniforms and their arms in the armory, all
of which were lost. There were twenty
boxes of ammunition in the armory. These
were saved. The stores leased from the ar
mery were of q miscellaneous character,
cafes, real estate agencies and oyster shop
and cigar stores. The individual losses OF
the proprietoTs are comparatively small.
George Morgan, dealer i'll fine furniture,
estimated his loss at $4,000. The regiments
loss, together with that OF the occupants, is
placed at $50, 900, while the building, owned
by Robert T. Ford, is figured at S50,0o0

a Sea Captain and His Family Fight
Posse of Police.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 27.-Police
Officer Knott attempted to arrest Thomas
folding, Jr., an employe of the hydro
graphic office, at the house of his parents in
this city last night on a charge of horse
stealing. Golding. ST., who is an old
Paclfc mail steamship captain, repelled the
ofncer with cutlass, aud, when the latter
was reinforced by Officers Brown.
Gould and MCGEE, Golding was assisted by
his wife and son. A number of shots were
fired, and when Golding was finally arrested
and taken to jail it was found that Golding,
Sr, had a bullet wound in his neck that
will probably prove fatal.
WOUNDS OF THE OFFICERS.
Officer Brown was shot in the right thigh.
Officer McGee had his right cheek split open
by a blow from the cutlass.
Golding, Jr., had several severe scalp
wounds and Officer Knott had wound
across the forehead made by bullet. The
Golding family claim that the shots were
all fired by the policemen after having been
thrown from the porch, and the Goldings
claim to have mistaken the policemen for
burglars. This was also the view taken by
a citizen named B. @. Mann, who attempted
to arrest one of the policemen aud was
knocked senseless. The warrant for young
Golding's arrest grew out of horse trade,
he refusing to return a horse for which he
gave watch in trade. Mrs. Golding and her
son appeared in court this morning to an
swer to a charge Of assault to murder pre-
ferred by Officer Knott. Golding senior
was unable to appear. owing to his wounds,
and the cases were continued until Friday
next, with bail fixed at 81, 500 each.
