ENGLAND PREPARING
HOPES TO SECURE. THE BULK or
AMERICAN TRADE.

Importing Largely of Raw Materials at
Very Cheap Prices Acknowledge
: That They Are 'Preparing For Increased
Activity"-A Point Against Americans.
The London board of trade returns
for the first three months Of this wear
present some features that are of partic-
ular interest to American manufacture
ers. In the British free trade country it
appears that the value Of the imports
this year to March 81 was $54, 900, 900
greater than during the first three
months of 1893, an increase Of 11.2 per
cent. The exports Of British and Irish
produce, however, decreased by So, 1O0,-
600 during the same period, falling
off of IL pr cent.
The London Economist finds comfort
in this large increase in the British i'm
port trade, stating that:
''The increase in the imports, apart
from the exceptional movements in COT
ton and cereals, is to a considerable ex-
tent due to larger importations of the
raw material for our manufactures.
That goes to indicate that our indus
tries are experiencing a certain quick
ening and are preparing for increased
activity"
From the American standpoint this
preparing for increased activity'
means that the British manufacturers
are either preparing to deluge those
great markets of the world' that free
trade theory would give to us, but which
Great Britain largely controls, Or else
that she is preparing for increased &C
tivity'' in securing the American trade
that our free traders desire to place at the
feet Of foreign countries by lowering
our protective tariff.
Out Of her total increased imports of
$54, 000,0 Great Britain purchased
$37, 900, 600 more Of raw cotton during
the first quarter Of 1894 than she did in
the corresponding period Of 1898.
It is a question how much of this raw
cotton will return to the United States
in the way of manufactured cotton goods
should the Wilson bill become law.
Certainly some of it will, and consider
ably more than we would otherwise
purchase if the Mckinley protective tar
iff were to remain undisturbed. It is
well to remember that every dollars
worth of cotton goods imported means
dollars worth less to be manufacture
ed in the United States-a fact of di-
rect interest to mill owners and to wage
earners both in the north and in the
south.
In the interest of American manufac-
turers and labor it is we'll to look into
the preparing for increased activity"
on the part Of the British manufacture
ers in other textile raw materials as
we'll as cotton, and thus we find that
the imports this year to March 81, as
compared with the corresponding period
Of 1898, were greater by the following
percentages:

FOR THE TEXTILE TRADES.
Per cent of increase
American manufacturers can for

American manufacturers can form a
very good idea, from the foregoing ex-
hibit, to what extent this preparing
for increased activity" is being carried
on in Great Britain. Larger importa-
tions Of raw cotton by 80 per cent, of
fax by ]45 per cent, of hemp and jute
by almost 80 per cent each, and of raw
silk by 8 per cent, within the brief term
Of three months, mean an almost CORE
spending increase in the output Of the
English manufactured goods, which
have to be disposed of either in the
markets of the world'' or in the Unit
ed States. AS England takes very good
care that the former are always we'll
stocked, it is but natural to suppose that
she is preparing for increased activity
in the United States.
But still further very important
point is to be noted in the foregoing ex-
hibit. Where there has been an increase
of 80 per cent in the quantity of raw
cotton imported into England, the in
crease in value was but II per cent. In
the case Of flax the increased value was
IS per cent less than the quantity, and
in hempit was 1917 per cent less. In the
case Of raw silk the value has not
changed, while in jute it appears to
have advanced. Where the raw material
has been purchased much below the
values Of year ago, the British manu-
facturer will have still further advan-
tage over the American, because he is
well supplied with cheap raw material,
while we are not, owing to the uncer-
tainty of our future industrial condi-
tions through the tariff tinkering of the
free traders.

PERU'S NEW PRESIDENT.

Caceres Has Lost an Eye and All His Prop
erty For His Country.
General .Andreas Avelino Caceres, who
recently became president of Peru, is a
distinguished soldier and a thorough pa.
triot. His body is covered with wounds
received in his %country's service, and he is
a poor man for the reason that in her hour
Of need he gave his country every cent he
had. General Caceres was born in Aya-
cucho SO years ago and has been fighting
Peru's battles ever since he was a mere boy
Of 1S. In 1854 he was a student at the
University of Lima, but left his studies to
assist in quelling an insurrection at Are
quipa.
He displayed rare bravery and talent as
q soldier and was q second lieutenant at
10. In the service of Grand Marshal Cas-
tilla, the great Indian general Of Peru,
Caceres distinguished himself at a despe-
rate battle with the forces of Echcnique in
1858. Caceres received a terrible wound
that destroyed one eye and left a scar from
his right temple to his mouth and was
left for dead upon the field. Soon there
after he was appointed military attache of
the Peruvian legation in Paris, where he
spent several years.
General Caceres' greatest service for Pc
ru occurred during the disastrous war
with Chile. AS colonel in command of the
Zepita battalion, he turned the tide of bat
tie at Tarapaca and won a decided victory

for the Peruvians. He again fought with
great gallantry at Tacna In 1880, but was
outnumbered by the Chileans and defeat
ed. Caceres then attempted the defense
Of Lima with a small force, but his army
was again vastly outnumbered and was
annihilated by the invaders.
Caceres was again wounded about this
time. After the retirement of the army of
Chile the congress at Arequipa made Ca
ceres a brigadier general and commission
ed him to overthrow Dictator Iglesias, who
had been placed in power by the Chileans.
Caceres had given all his property to the
government and had suffered severely at
the hands Of the enemy, but he at onoe be-
gan q hard campaign against the dictator
and in 1856 succeeded in overthrowing
Iglesias and entering Lima. The follow
ing year he was elected president Of Peru.
He served four years and was succeeded in
1890 by General Bermudez. When Der
mudez died, in March Of this year, Caceres
was proclaimed dictator, and on May 10
was reelected president. Ex-Dictator
Pierola has started q revolutionary move
ment in northern Peru, but Caceres prom
ises to crush the rebels and restore order.

%sertion, and the waist was bebe form. The
sleeves had shoulder puffs, with plain fore
arms. She (the owner Of the pink frock)
had one Of those hats with lace falls, which
will probably give place to one of the pretty
fingers of many young girls are now work
ing at in the large MANUFACTURES.
These new hoods are almost the exact
counterparts of those worn so years ago
by little and big girls. They are closely
SHRED over reeds and lined with soft silk.
The little faces look like rosy apples in
baskets peeping from these deep hoods.
I saw O suit for a little boy not yet pro-
NOTED to the dignity Of pantaloons. It
was of cream white serge, made with a
sailor blouse. Around the skirt were three
rows of, braid, two of light blue and the
center one Of navy blue. The belt was of
the. dark and the collar was of light blue
flannel of the same shade al the lighter
braid. There was a bow of white ribbon
and light blue braid at the junction Of
the collar tabs. This suit could also be
worn by a little girl under z years old.
The new striped flannel suiting for boys
and girls is very pretty and makes neat
suits alone or in combination with dark
blue for boys and blue or red for girls. A
jaunty suit for a boy from z to 10 has blue
serge knickerbockers and an open jacket
of dark blue, faced and having a very
wide collar of blue and white striped fan
mel. The deep blouse was also Of the strip
ed goods, and it was SO arranged as to
collar n fancy cords that it could be
worn without the jacket if the day proved
too warm for comfort. I might add here
that polo caps for boys will be worn this
fall for almost all occasions, to the exclu-
sion Of derbys and other hats. Pea jack
cts and pilot oats Of blue and Of drab and
brown woolly stuff. will be the favorite
overcoat. These are all short and full of
pockets, SO that boys will find them Just
the thing. Russian blouse suits will also
be worn by small boys. The trousers may
be loose, snug or gathered at the knees.
The most Of the blouses have wide sailor
collars in dark blue with white braid.
A pretty frook for q little girl is made
Of notified cheviot, with drab ground and
red splotches of color. Theskirt is slightly
gored across the front and deeply plated
in the back. Around the skirt is one row
Of cherry velvet ribbon, and another encir-
cles the waist, ending in the back in a full
rosette of cherry velvet. There is q guimpe;
with long full sleeves of cherry surah, the
children's silk par excellence, and epaulets
Of cheviot. The waist is entirely plain.
This makes an effective little suit, which
could readily be copied in almost any ma
terial and combination. To make such q
frook for a child of 10 mother would not
need over two yards Of cheviot and the
same Of surah. And it could be made out
Of the best breadths Of mothers or big sis
ter's old dress-that is, II that dress had
been originally made Of good material.

spent nine months in work and study.
Paris has long been considered the one
place on earth where an artist could find
exactly what he needed and desired, but
Mr.. Gibson declares that in one respect at
least Paris disappointed him-tho models
to be had there wero no better than those
Of New York.
America, the artist believes, has a great
er variety of types than any other coun-
try, despite the fact that the wo1ne of all
nations are more generally represented in
Paris than in any other city of the globe.
Mr.. Gibson is an ardent champion of
American beauty, and after his long So
journ in Paris is we'll content to utilize
native types for his future work. In Paris,
however, the people are nearer to art than
they are in America, and for that reason
models in all walks of life are much easier
to procure. The proposition to pose is
50 familiar to Parisians that it does not
startle them, and money or vanity will in
duce almost any one in the great French
metropolis to pose for such pictures as
Mr.. Gibson creates. During his stay there
two famous French actresses, Rachel Boy
or and the great Rejane, gave him sittings.
The results were quite satisfactory, but
MI. Gibson came to the conclusion that
actresses are not good models, for the rea-
son that a good model must be perfectly
| natural and lack self consciousness.
AS an actress entire training is an ef-
fort to represent what she is not, she is
quite naturally anything but herself when
posing for a picture. Mr.. Gibson surpris-
ed the Paris models more than they sur
prised him. They invariably came pre-
pared to pose for nudes inc were astound-
ed to learn that they were to sit with their
clothing on. One of Mr.. Gibson's most
useful models is Miss Minnie Clark, a
New York girl, whose graceful figure and
refined, beautiful face have appeared In
many of the artists pictures.
MI. Gibson, who has been called the
American Du Maurier-although Du Mau-
rier's women are wooden beside the flesh
and blood creations Of G1bson-was born
in Roxbury, Mass. He is tall and athletic
and never talks shop unless asked to do
so. He uses many Of his good looking
friends as models, and Richard Harding
Davis has posed at different times as a
Cherry hill (New York; tough, a gam
bier, a man about town, an English adj
venturer and q tout for q racing stable.
