The London Economist recently pre-
scented an interesting analysis Of the i'm
Y port and export trade of the United
\ Kingdom during the first quarter Of the
Il present and two preceding years, from
which some interesting facts can be de-
Quoted. Separating the trade Of the
mother country with her British posses
q sions from her trade with foreign coun-
tries, we have the following:

The most noticeable fact in the fore
going exhibit is the steady and gradual
decline in the value of British exports,
which decreased at the rate Of $50, 000,-
900 year within two years, while
their imports increased at the rate Of
1854. 200, 900 a year within the same Pc
RODS, the adverse balance Of trade be-
ing at the rate Of 800, 900, 900 year.
So much for free trade policy.
Looking more infinitely into the Brit
ish export trade with foreign countries,
we find that the loss this year as COM
pared with the first quarter in 1894 was
e1,717, 900, or at the rate Of $34, O0O,-
900 a year. But had it not been for
our new tariff the English loss Of ex-
ports would have been much greater,
the shipments to this country increasing
by So, 1913, 900 in the three months Of
1895, or at the rate Of 500, 900 q
year. If the British export trade to the
United States had remained stationary
this year, their quarterly balance sheet
would have shown deficit Of $2S, $780,!
900, or at the rate Of $94, 600, 900 year:
The British manufacturers, producers
and exporters have much to thank the
free traders in this country for. That
banquet to Professor Wilson was but q
shoddy return for $04, 900, 900 saved in
a year: We now quote the London
Economist as follows:
Coming now to our export trade
with foreign countries, it will be seen
that the resuscitation Of our trade with
the United States and slighter i'm
provement in connection with some
South American countries has more than
offset falling of in the value Of our
exports to the principal countries on the
European continent. The gain Of more
than eS, 600, 900 in the quarter exports
to the United States covers, Of course, q
wide range Of commodities and can best
be shown In tabular form, thus:

COLLINS.
f'rty of Young People Lose Their
Lives While Fishing by the cap,,xinp
OF Boat-Father and Ono CHI Id Es-
capped.

Denver, May Ga special to Fort
Collins to the Republican gives details
OF very sad tragedy at Lewis Lake,
near that town, yesterday afternoon.
Inc lake is six miles southeast of
Town. and the family of Fl. C. Carsrude
reside on a farm near the lake. Mr..
oarsrude, his three daughters and his
son Robert Craig of Fort Collins and
Ray Badger of No 1924 Humboldt
street, Denver, decided to go fishing.
Ihefe Is boat on the lake, leaky old
craft, but the seven persons decided 1t
would be safe to get into the boat and
paddle about near the shore
AS soon as they pushed off from the
shore the boat began to fill with water
from the leaks in the bottom. and the
people in the boat became thoroughly
frightened and confused. In his eX-
cltement Ray Badger made an attempt
10 secure an oar and in doing so over
turned the boat. Immediately the en-
tire party was struggling in the water.
MI. Carsrude seized one of his chill
dren his eldest daughter, aged about
thirteen years. and succeeded in reach
ing the shore with her. He ATTEMPTED
TO rescue the other members of the
party, but was not successful, as all
sank for the last time before he could
reach them. Mr.. Carsrude and his
eldest daughter We're the only ones of
the party who escaped drowning.
Mrs. Carsrude. the mother of the
drowned children, came to the shore of
the lake just in time to see her chill.
dren sink into the water for the last
time.
Ray Badger and Robert Craig We're,
II Is said, unable to swim They both
made heroic attempts to rescue the
children and save themselves. by cling.
Ing to the upturned boat. but in their
struggles they lost their holds and
went down.
The agonized father after rescuing
his children rushed back to the spot
where his three children went down.
but he was unable to reach them in
time and was not even able to recover
their bodies, although the water AT
that point was not deep.
Neighbors were notified and soon
willing hands We're doing all in their
power, both in soothing the wildly dis.
tracted parents and in the recovery of
the bodies of the lost ones. 1t was not
until eight o'clock that the last body
was brought to the surface. The lake
was not large. but an underground of
weeds and grass retarded the progress
of dragging the lake.
The Carsrude family Is a prosperous
and prominent one and is universally
respected. Robert Craig was young
man about twenty years of age and
had lived all his life in Larimer Coun.
ty.
Ray Badger was a resident of Den
yer and had been in this section but Il
short time. He was about nineteen
years of age.

WATER POWER IN MONTREAL.
Lachine Rapids to BE Utilized by a
Hydraulic Company

Lachine Rapids to Be Utilized by a
Hydraulic Company.
A project has been perfected for util-
lZing the immense water power of the
Lachine rapids from Isle AUX Huron
to the Montreal shore. A dam about
$500 feet long is to be constructed par
a1lel with the shore at an average dis
lance of 500 feet from the island OF
Montreal. The upper part Of the dam
is to be submerged, and the part toward
the center partially submerged. A cross
section will connect the short with the
dam. Upon it will be built power
house with seventy-two turbine wheels
and twelve dynamos of $50 horse power
each. Below the power house will be
another section, placed to keep Ice from
the channel. The dams are to be con-
structed of cribwork, filled with stone
and lime. with planks on the inside.
The company is known as the Lachine
Rapids Hydraulic and Land company.
1t has 2,700 feet frontage on the river,
as well as the water rights on the
property to the west.

now buried, and none of the injured
now living are thought to be fatally
hurt
The Journals representative. who
went all over the ground swept by the
storm. says $4,000 will cover the prop
erty loss, including houses, barns, out
buildings and fences. In few places
are the crops seriously damaged, for
grain was not up far enough to be
killed or dislodged by the wind. and
the principal injury in the fields was
by the plastering of mud which they
received. The mud shower" was Il
prominent part of the storm, but it
seems that the power of the wind sim
ply scooped up the black. wet earth
from the surface in several places and
distributed it all over the other fields.
