Here 1t is clear that material increase i'm tho
quantities provided by the domestic manufact-
ure for American consumers has already oc-
Cured The aggregate value of British exports
of these articles to this country was f734,461
this year, against G1,3O9,6 ,63G last year. de-
crease of more than 40 per cent, and it is plain
that goods costing abroad nearly S3,OOO,OOO
are supplied for q single quarters consumption
by the home manufacture, which were year
ago supplied by British manufacturers.
The change in linens is not yet so important,
though in linen yarn British exports were only
92,4O6 pounds, against 1862, 500 for the same
quarter last year, and in linen goods only
25, $50, 200 yards, against 27,177,700 last year
In silk cloths no decrease appears, and it may
be worth while to note that the exports from
Great Britain to this country OF unwrought tin
which is and has been free of duty here, show
some increase; that the exports of alkali on
which the duties have not been changed, also
show a large increase as we'll as the exports Of
many forms of iron and steel on which duties
here have been unchanged or slightly reduced
Thus of unwrought steel British exports to us
were 5,275 tons, against 1, 100 last year, and
of railroad iron 2.i2S tons, against 1915 last

DIR. Briggs's associates in the Union Seminary

is printed on another page, is an important con-
tribution 10 an important controversy. 1t IS
noticeable that these defenders of the accused
professor do not accept in its entirety the state
ment of his position as contained in the famous
inaugural address, and that they distinctly depre-
cate the tone and temper Of some of DR.. Briggs 5
remarks. In general, however, they hold that
his views are orthodox and they speak in the
highest terms of his ability and Christian char
acter. Whatever the General Assembly may do

JAY G0ULD's fine RENTED.
The Wizard Was Too III in March
to Serve as q Juror.

The fine Of $3.50 imposed by the Court Of
General Sessions upon Jay Gould for failing
to appear as juror last March has been re-
mitted, and the reasons for this clemepcy, a.
sworn to by Jay Gould himself, are very sur.
prising indeed, coming at time when Mr..
Gould is reported to be very feeble man.
In one OF the affidavits presented Jay Gould
swears that on Feb. 25, the day the summons
was issued commanding him TO appear rs Q
Juror, he "was sick and under Il Q physicians
care and not able to Appear and serve as
juror" even had he received the summons,
which he did not.
AS TO the month OF March, when ha should
have appeared as juror, he says his ply.
sician, Dr. Mum, was in constant attendance
upon him, and that Dr. Mum will make AM
davit that he, Mr.. Gould, "was not at that
time In q state Of health that would have
warranted me in serving as juror, even for
one day."
Eddie Gould, one OF Jay Gould's sons, made
aflidaNit that the great Wall street wizard
was IN February 81 i'll that It was not
deemed advisable to hand to him the SUM

Graphic Story OF Sea Tragedy Told
ut the Maritime Exchange.

Capt. Dexter OF the bark Kentigern, lust
arrived at this port from London, visited the
Maritime Exchange this morning and related
a thrilling experience on the mouth OF the
Thames when leaving London for this port In
one OF the violent gales that recently swept
the English Channel and caused the loss OF a
bark's entire crow.
The kentIgern " as at anchor ready to be-
gin her voyage the next day. Near her was
anchored RUSSIAN lark, having on board
crew OF tweuty-s,x men. In the evening the
wind. which had been strong, began to In
crease IN violence, and soon developed into a
gale. The seas were running high and broke
over the rail, drcnchinp the men on watch.
Capt. Dexter ordered another anchor let 20,
as the tempest increased In fury and threat
ened to drive the vessel upon the rocky beach.
At midnight there had been no abatement
to the gale. Suddenly capt. Dexter heard a
crash, and, running forward, he found that
the Russian bark anchored near by had
dragged her anchors and was driving down
on the Kcntigern.
The Russian bark's Iibboom had struck the
foremost OF the Kcntigcrn and was broken on.
leaving a hole In her hull through which the
sea poured. The russian bark then swung
alongside the Kentlgern, where she remained
Tor few minutes.

at $50 this morning.
He was first noticed at Tarrytown dock
about Z O'Clock and was n pitiable- looking
object, cold, hungry and wid-eycd.
He hovercd about tho little dOck-house try

When the 7.30 boat from Syack reached her

and commenced to rub his almost frozen
hands. capt. Lyon saw at glance the mans
condition, but spoke Chcerily to Cole saying !:

Coles only response was u vacant stare
which betokencd his mental arliiction, and u
painful effort to whisper the word cold"

could not be reused by any OF capt. Lyons
efforts.
When the boat reached Nyack, q carraige
was procured and Isaac Pye, a friend OF Cole,
took him home. AS Pye assisted the demented
cashier out OF the carriage In front OF the
house, Cole looked about wildly and then,

The greeting OF cole by his family was too
afrecing for literal description.
An effort TO force little wine down the
sufferers throat failed, and DR.. Blauvelt, who
arrived a few minutes later, ordered Cole put
to bed.
The doctor denied admission to the "a
tents room to any one but members OF the
family.
II was evident that Cole had not been to
bed since he left Nyack, last Saturday, and
his swollen feet indicate that he las wan
dered many miles.
Indeed, II Is thought that, since he was
seen In Harlem, he walked from there to
Tarrytown, a distance OF twenty-five miles
That Cole is demented there can be no
doubt, and 1t is also certain that only abso-
Lutte quiet and the most careful nursing Will
prevent fatal results from his exposure.

GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS CRIME.
Minister Lincoln's Butler Cut His
Throat Through Remorse.

Mrs. Bradley Martin, one OF New YorE's
famous society women, was greatly shocked
to-day by the news OF pathetic tragedy In
London, cabled to THE WORLD, that United
States Minister Robert Lrcoln's butler, SELF
accused OF the robbery OF Mrs Bradley Mar
tins diamond spray, had taken his own life.
The Bradley Martins were guests st the
American Legation in London about four
weeks ago Minister Lincoln had engaged as
his butler an Englishman, John Thompson,
who had been u part Of the household OF
Baron Ferdinand Rothschild at Woddesdon
Manor. The Baron is the son OF the late
Baron Anselm RothsChiid and brother-N
law OF Lord Rothschild Thompson came to
Minister Lincoln with the highest recommen.
dations from his former employers and was
u model servant.
During Mrs. Martins stay she missed dia-
mond spray, q jewel valued for Its associa-
tions az we'll ~ intrinsically and after futile
search, q reward OF 81 500 was offered for Its
return.
All the servants had been carefully exam
ined except this model butler Nobody sus-
pected him, and the surprise was great when
Thompson visited Scotland Yard and told the
Chief OF Detectives that he was the guilty
person who had nlched the jewel from. the
American ladys room.
ThompsOns story was slightly incoherent
and he gave no clear explanation OF how he
had disposed OF the diamonds But he In
sisted on being locked up, and was confined In
q police station In kipg street, London,
where he was closely watched for signs
OF mental alteration, for Scotland Yard could
not believe that an English butler had turned
thief much less that such a thief should vol
uni arily incrimiuute himself.
Ultimately Thompson was released, but he
was helpless and could not loDc to find an.
he could lind was as caretaker OF an empty
house In Onslow gardens. the haunt OF the
ariStOcratic demi monde. He became de-
spondent and gloomy.
Thompson said to his devoted wife TUESDAY
night: - am feeling tired. ! think VIII lie
down" He then retired to an upstairs room.
A few minutes later his wife heard singular
noises and hurried 10 his chamber
She opened the door and found her husband
gashing his throat with knife and blood
guShin. from several wounds. lie staggered
aud fell dying into her arms.
OpiniOh IL divided. some people believe
that Thompson WAS really so worked up over
the possible suspicion nat miSht attach to
believe that hs was really guilty; thai he
had been iaduced TO become thc cGispaw OF
experienced thieves, and thar the mental
torture endured In the contemplation OF his
guilt and consequent less Of character had

morning that she could not be seen before

Narrow Escape from Drowning OF
16O Scotch Workingmen.
rpv ASSOCIATED pnrss.l


GLASGOW, Dec. 17.-An exciting scene oc-
Cured last evening on ferryboat plying on
the Clyde. on the boat, besides the crew,
were 100 workmen who were returning to
their homes In Ren!rew.
Some one noticed that the boat was settling
in the water. The news spread Ike flash.
The men fought like wild animals to get
possession OF the lie belts.
The captain rushed among his frightened
passengers and finally induced them to go to
the stern OF the boat. This raised the bow,
where the boat was leaking.
The engines were forced to their highest
speed, but the boat continued to sink deeper
and deeper. Fortunately, she managed to
reach a pier, and oil hands scrambled ashore.
They lett her just in the nick or time, for
the last man was hardly ashore before she
went to the bottom.
