The report Of foreign commerce for the month or
March is eminently interesting. although. details
being still suppressed by the Department, one Is
unable 20 determine exactly In what articles the
changes have occurred The imports show an In
crease OF about $5 600 900 In the dutlablc list, com
pared with the same month last year. which is
partly because of the difference In sugar OF which
the value imported appears from unofficial state
ncnts TO have been about s7.329,Sii In March. For
n similar reason decrease OF about 81 900 900 APP
pears In imports free OF duty. because the value OF
sugar imported In March last year-then free Of
duty--was about 1854. 400. Thus there results an
increase OF 100000 in all imports. On the other
hand the decrease I'm exports already fore
shadowed by returns Of exports from this city, and
by the preliminary statements as to principal
products, was about 81, 100000 Thus there results
an excess OF imports over exports for the month
amounting to Nil9.sOo. against an excess OF ex-
ports over imports in the same month last year
amounting to Sl5l.s75.

PERRY AND COMPANY.

A great many persons who have naturally been
in state Of trepldatiOn during the last week will
be relieved 10 learn that Perry, the most in
famous Of the fugitves from Mattoawan, was
captured yesterday and hos rcjoincd his com
raccs in the asylum. The general satisfaction
would be still greater If these adroit and sea
soned criminals had been reunited in Il sccurer
and more appropriate place They have already
figured too long as lunatics under the operation
of a system which Is exceedingly liable TO abuse
and which is strongly suspected of being worked
occasionally in the interest of individuals rather
than of society 1t is a curious and suggestive
circumstance that these five desperate criminals,
as they have been successfully caught and taken
back to the place whence they escaped but where
they do not belong have been treated precisely
as they would have been had their sanity never
been suspected They have been closely Qucs
toned as 1t was entirely proper they should be-
about their escape and their wandcrings but Ii
seems to have been assumed matter OF
course that their testimony as trustworthy
as any criminals testimony in like case would
be- Their excupaton Of the asylum attendants
has been eagerly proclaimed and nothing they
have said has been subjected to any special dis
count in consideration OF the fact that, officially,
but on the contrary regard II as a sensible pro-
cedurc and hope it may be the first step toward
a consignment Of at least a majority Of these
felons to State Prison. The MatteawaD Asylum
Is less desirable retreat than Sing Sing for men
who even approach to the record and character
istics of Perry
SO far as can be discovered from published
narratives official and unofficial, OF this extreme
| ly discredtabe business, these men possess all
| the mental and moral competency which the
| State needs TO be assured Of before It puts a
| criminal in plate capable Of holding him. 1t is
especially marvel that Perry has kept his head
on his shoulders so long. He is known at every
| police headquarters in the country as an extraor-
| dinarily shrewd and resourceful mscreant and
| 1t has been his boast for years that no prison
keeper was his match. He has come pretty near
| to justifying his estimate Of himself and Of a
long succession Of official guardians but he ought
not to be permitted 10 come any nearer. His
| sense Of humor may be less highly developed
than his other mental qualities. but il is fair to
| assume that he has often been amused at think.
| ing Of the credulity which has served him well
| heretofore and which he might pretty confident

PEACE IN THE EAST.

The most humlatng treaty OF peace ever
known in Asia has been signed by the represent
otiyes Of the Chinese Government. The terms
mentioned in the dispatches are the independence
of Corea; Japans retention OF all conquered terri
tory and strongholds: the permanent cession or
Fornosa: an indemnity Of S1000OO.OOO, and an
offensive and defensive alliance between China
and Japan. The indemnity might have been
larger. but otherwise Japan has gained every
thing that could reasonably have been demanded.
The sacred city Of Moukdcn, the naval strong
holds Of Port Arthur and Wei-liai-Wei. the
cradle Of the reigning dynasty, and the precious
island of Formosa are all abandoned TO the con-
oueror The territorial cessons offer no evidence
Of magnanimity in triumph Japan. having de-
ferred the negotiation of peace upon one pre'eX'
after another while her armies were steadily ad-
vanclng. has finally obtained permanent control
of all conquered territory.
For many years II has been an open diplomatic
secret that Great Britain. France and Russia, III
authorization Of the ultimate collapse OF the chi
nese Empire. have informally considered from
time 10 time various schemes for the partition OF
vast territories in Asia. Colored maps with the
sections of China assigned TO each Of the three
Powers have been carefully locked mp in the
archives of the diplOmaiss at Shanghai ana
Picking and there has been thought To be some
secret understanding on the subject between ~.
Petersburg and London and Paris. In conse'
ouence of the recent war and the triumphant
peace which has been dictated by the con
0ucring nation what has been assumed 10 be
a European problem Of the future has reverted
10 Aslatic conditions. Japan. with It's protccto-
rate over Corea and its alliance with China. has
suddenly carried into practice a new theory OF
the balance of power in Asia Whatever may
have been the secret understandings In the Eu-
ropean capitals, Japan is now on guard In Man
churia, in the Regents Sword and in Formosa,
and IS prepared TO defend China from European
aggression by land or sea.
This Is the most important result Of the mo-
mentous conflict in the East which has been
brought TO an end An Asiatic bulwark has been
created against European aggression and Chi
nese disintegraton. Japan with the tremendous
increase of power prestige and resources gained
by the war with China will be a new and progress
sive State evolved from Asiatic conservatism and
inertia 1t will make use Of its own opp0rtun
ties Of victory. and it will also protect China
against the demOralzing effects Of defeat. II
will retarl, If not prevent altogether the natural
process of the division of the Chinese Empire
into three or four independent kingdoms which
would inevitably be reduced 10 dependence upon
the rival European nations. 4 new balance OF
| power has been established in Asia, with Japan

| trlgue and jealousy.

IN were S214272 $685. against $46 1915 last year,
and the total free imports s2O4,270,5l0 against
$2l2 234 $50 last year. But important corrections
must he made in these figures on account OF the
transfer Of nearly all sugar to the dutiable list,
AID on account Of the transfer OF other articles
formerly dutlable to the free list 1t appears from
statements partly unofficial, that the value OF
sugar imported since August under the new tariff
has been $23072 9O4 duiabe and S3,O24703 not duti
able, while In the same months Of the previous fis
cal year the value Of sugar imported free OF duty
was S6s, 1863, 4e2. Deducting these sums. the re-
naming imports for the seven months compare as
follows:
1896. 1894
P Pqee 'aisss$ iSssss
There are yet to be deducted. for just compari-
son. the goods formerly dutiabe but now free OF
duty, including wool, some textile grasses and
few manufactured articles. The value Of these
for the seven months can only be estimated from
imperfect returns the official reports for the last
three months being kept back. but from the best
information obtainable the amount was probably
s1 900 900 In 1894 bearing duties, and $2S5OoOO In
1895 free Of duty Deducting these amounts. 1t ar-
pears that the remaining imports bearing duty
$751; against 1884, 900 in 1S94show an in
crease of Ais per cent. On the other hand. the re-
naming imports free Of duty-about $l71, 100000
this year. against about $14O0O.OOO last year
show a. much smaller increase only about 10 per
cent One other item has yet 10 be taken into ac-
count-namey the importation Of drygoods Ac-
counts of these published weekly do not precisely
correspond with Official returns, but, neverthe-
less serve to show with substantial correctness
what the movement has been. The value Of dry
goods imported at New-York during the seven
months was about $780, 434,O26, against S, 1884. In
the same months Of the previous fiscal year. show
ing an Increase Of 10 per cent. Deducting these.
the remaining dutiable Imports show an increase
Of 26S per cent.
From these facts II appears that the erect OF the
new duties has been to increase enormously the
importations Of drygoods. and consequently the
competition 10 which textile manufactures In this
country are subjected and that the increase In I'M
portations Of other goods. while relatively smaller,
have vet been considerable. The Democratic pol
ley compensates for the enormous loss OF revenue
thus resulting by imposing duty on s23,0I2,so4
sugar imported during the seven months, and
meanwhile about $29 $780, 900 worth Of wool and
other products formerly dutable are placed on the
free list It Is not a matter Of wonder that under
such circumsta nces the Government Is In trouble
and finds its revenue seriously deficient.

A question of considerable Importance is about
TO be passed upon by the Excise Board; namely
whether licenses can legally be renewed for s'-
looms which are situated in near proximity TO
churches or schOolhouses. The law PROVIDES
that saloons shall not be established within 2oo
fect Of such buildings but it is disputed point
whether a liquor-shop so situated can lawfully
continue to exist A considerable number or sa-
looms are now within the prescribed limits, all OF
which will be affected by the decision or the
Excise commissioners. There are lawyers VINO
will stoutly maintain the rights OF the SALOON
kceners. and no doubt the matter will AT length
no laid before the courts for an authoritative
decision.
