export trade. They say that the higher
prices paid by us for many foreign com
modities, such as hides, have increased
the purchasing power of other coun-
tries, and thereby enable them to buy
more from us. Then, too, the conse-
Guences of the Barring failure are pass
ing away abroad, as those of our panic
are doing here. The whole world,
with the exception of China, Japan and
Cuba, is on the up grade, and it is
expected that our export trade this
year will be very large
These views show how silly and
baseless is the calamity howl raised
over the increase of imports We are
taking more goods from abroad be-
cause with the passing of depression
our purchasing power has increased.
In like manner the purchasing power
of most other countries has been aug
mented. and they are taking more OF
our goods than they have heretofore
simply because they have now found
themselves able to pay for more. This
does not mean less sales by domestic
producers, but increased consumption
and more comfort for all classes Prof
its may be less in many cases, but this
disadvantage is offset by increased
sales.
The moral of this is that foreign
commerce is good thing for all, and
that the prosperity of one nation is
shared by all the others that trade
with it. On the other hand, depres-
sion in one country extends to others,
or at any rate has a tendency to reduce
their trade. The long depression in
the commercial world seems now to be
approaching an end, and all countries
will get share of the improvement

Investigating Charges OF Conspiracy and
Solicitation Of Brides.
CHICAGO. July 12.-The special grand
jury which was summoned Wednesday
for the purpose of investigating
specific charges of conspiracy and
solicitation of brides on the part of
aldermen and their go-betweens, was
impaneled yesterday in Judge Tut
hills court, and strongly charged by
his honor. The jury is composed OF
twenty-three prominent business and
professional men. In his charge, Judge
Tuthill said:
For months past the press of this
city has teemed with charges more or
less direct that corruption has existed
in the public legislative body of the
city. How much of truth there may
be in the charges l do not know
and you do not know. These charges,
as made through the press. have
reached that stage where special acts
of misconduct and malfeasance in of
flee have been charged against particu-
lar individuals. On the representation
of the state attorney that it was for the
public good that a special grand jury
should be called and submission by
them of evidence to me, l have caused
it to be summoned. The only matter
to be submitted to you will be the
charges of the corruption in the city
council"

ing brides from ice companies and oil

EXPORTS INCREASED.


prosperity Returning Through the Dem
ocratic Tariff.
Among the other facts Enthusiastically
showing the revival of business is an
increase in our export trade. New
York merchants within the past few
days have been commenting upon this,
and the reason they assign for it is a
remarkable illustration of the solidar-
ity of the commercial nations of the
world.
1t has pleased certain school Of
American politicians for many years
past to represent international conn
merce as analogous to war. They
have held ont the idea that when one
nation gains anything from trade an
other necessarily loses They have
treated imports as a calamity, and ex-
ports alone as worthy of consideration.
They have quite ignored the fact that
international commerce is mainly an
exchange of commodities, and that if a
nation does not buy it cannot sell Oc-
casionally exceptions to this rule may
be noted, but it is incontestably true
in the long run There is no nation
that can go on for years exporting
commodities without importing others
to pay for them. for the simple reason
that other nations cannot go on pay
ing for their imports in money, for in
q few years they would have no money
left. As rule, imports must be paid
for by exports. Hence when imports
increase exports must increase in a
similar ratio.
The protection papers have been
making great outcry about the in
crease of our imports for the past fiscal
year, comparing them with the panic
period that extended from July /, 1893,
to June 80, 1894. Our imports then
were small because our ability to pur-
chase was limited. Much has been
said about the large increase OF imports
of woolens during the fiscal year just
closed. In the first ten months of the
fiscal year ended on the 3Oth ult. our
imports of wOolens were of the value
of nearly thirty millions of dollars,
which was in excess of those for the
corresponding months in the preceding
fiscal year. Hence the bowls to which
we have referred. But if we go back
another year we find the imports of
woolens for the corresponding period
amounted I'd tnlrty-tnree mlillOnS ana
a half In other words, we are not yet
importing SO many woolens as we were
before the panic under the Mckinley
bill, which tends to show that the re-
turn of prosperity is not complete, as
we know well enough from other
sources
We have alluded incidentally to the
reasons assigned by New York mer-
chants for the Improvement Of the

THE OHIO RIVER.
General Plan for Improving It's Navigatio
Difficulties in the Way.

General Plan for Improving It's Navigation
Difficulties in the Way.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-The general
plan for improving the navigation OF
the Ohio river is treated in the an
nual report of Col. Amos Stickney,
corps of engineers, United States
army, with reference to the work ac-
complished during the year ended
June 80, 1895. The plan has for its OBJ
ject to secure additional depth at is
lands and bars by the construction OF
low dams across chutes and by the
building of bikes where the river is
wide and shallow so as to confine the
flow to a smaller cross section and
by dredging.
A radical improvement of the upper
part of the river has been commenced
by the construction of lock and
movable dam at Davis island. five
miles below Pittsburgh and work on
another lock and dam No. 6, has been
commenced just below Beaver.
Surveys have also been made for
sites for movable dams Nos. 2. 8,
and of the series. A snag boat and
two dredges belonging to the United
funds are available and the stage o.
the river permits. in taking out snags
and wrecks and in dredging away
gravel and rock Instructions that can
not otherwise be removed.
The work of improvement has been
continued all along the river to Mound
City, ILL.,. go miles below Pittsburgh,
where bikes are being erected.
Speaking generally CT the project Col.
Stickney says that it is impossible to
determine in advance just where and
how much work will be needed for
making good navigation upon the en-
therefore it is impossible to submit
estimates for complete Improvement
The work, he says, must be pro-
gressive and tentative, and ow-
ing to the varied interests
and covering nearly 1000 miles
of river, the locations of works
must be at considerable distances
apart, so that no one reach of river
can be taken on hand and improve
ment completed in advance of other
parts of the river, unless large amounts
of money are provided.
Continuing, he says: ''The great and
growing commerce of this river, its
numerous cities, and the rapid in
crease of the already large population
of the valley should appeal in strong
terms for adequate appropriations for
such betterment of the navigation as
it is certain can be obtained by we'll
known methods"

tween congress and the Indians for
the lands, August Is. 1894, provided that
if the secretary of the interior did
not within one year from the
ratification of the agreement refer the
question of the ownership of the Pipe
stone reservation to the United States
supreme court, as provided in the bill,
such failure should be construed as
waiver by the United States of all
rights of ownership and thereafter the
lands should be the sole property of
the Yankton tribe. The year expires
in one month. 1t is now almost too
late to bring the matter before tire
courts and the Indians will doubtless
secure the quarries.

Herbert yesterday received a report
from Admiral Carpenter, commander
in-chief of the Asiatic squadron, on the
flagship Baltimore. dated, at Kobe,
Japan, June Is. explaining to the sat-
isfaction of the navy department why
no American ships have been kept in

declaration of independence by the in

to the conditions in Formosa, There
are no American citizens there resident,
not even a missionary-the interests
are all in the hands of foreigners that
are DESTROYS of making a display of
force, the idea being to assemble as
many vessels of different nationalities
as possible. The British and German
nations are the only ones represented
by men-of-war, as the business interests
are principally in the hands of citizens
sailors that have been landed are in
sufficient force to afford ample protec-
ton to all foreigners
The admiral's declination to spare
any American war ship from needed
points at critical stage of the Chi

the report of Commander Craig of the
Concord, who had visited Tamsui, For

the first week in May for the specific
purpose of finding out whether any
American interests were involved on
the island.
Naval officers agree that Admiral
Carpenter has upheld the dignity of

dispelled all the doubts at one time sug-

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The question
of the ownership of several hundred
thousand acres of land in Los Angeles
county. Cal, recently decided as be-
longing to the Quilted States. will
probably be carried to the United
States supreme court on appeal by the
Southern Pacific Railroad Co., at least
this is the opinion of officials of the
general land Office.
The case involves the ownership OF
overlapping grants to the Southern
Pacific and Atlantic & Pacific railroads.
The former road. on the ground that
the Atlantic & Pacific road was never
built, took possession of the lands.
The courts hold that the lands reverted
to the United States They will proba-

final judicial decision is rendered.
