LONDON, April 11-(Copyrighted 1896
by the Associated Press. 1.-The improve
ment in trade shown in the returns for
the first quarter of the present year, has
been greeted with great satisfaction, and
it is pointed out that the increases are
due to an all-round development of trade
and industry. In addition there is
promise of further progress being shown
during the current quarter.
The returns show that the imports have
amounted to 112, 295, $40 pounds against 100,-
S21SOO pounds for 1895.
The exports for the first quarter of

36l pounds last year at the same time.

textile materials. The home exports in
creased in every instance, and, moreover,
the increases present a fair advance in
prices. Besides there has been an expan-
sion of trade in many instances.

in the United States senate, in the case
MRS. FLORENCE MAVERICK
the American woman who is undergoing
a sentence of Imprisonment for life after
having been convicted of causing the
death of her husband by poisoning has
produced many sarcastic comments IN the
press. Some of the newspapers here init
mate that the senate interferes with eV-
erybody's business But the friends of
Mrs. Maybrick and a portion OF the press
think that the senateS acton VIII be
beneficial to the unfortunate prisoner.
The Echo for instance says: While the
senate's action will. for the present.
harden the so-called judicial mind of
England, yet it will compel
A PARTIAL ADMINISTRATION
of the case by the press of this country,
which will ultimately move the home
offices, and it is probable we shall see
a same result with regard to venezuela.

claim that Mr.. Bayard is now SO AFRAID
of transgressing what is termed 'dlplo-
matte usage" that he hesitates to take
action in the matter. Although the WASH
ington petition with welghty SIghaluIes
was transmitted through Mr.. Bayard by
the state department, neither the IoIelSh
office nor the home office informed the
United States embassy of its recent oecls-
ion in the Maybrick case:

The number of bicycle accidents in Lon
don is increasing and there were sew
eral fatal ones reported this week, one
which resulted in the death of young
girl. As there has been some ADVERSE
Comment on the story that the Princess
Maud of Wales was thrown in Regent
street recently a semi-official announce
ment has been issued, denying that there
was any truth in the story, and adding
that the princess has never ridden
bicycle in the streets of London.
United States Ambassador Bayard is
expected back to town today. He went
from Lord N1iddleon's to a house party
given in honor of the crown prince of
Siam at Buckingham palace.

The Saturday Review severely attacks
the foreign policy of the United States
which. ii says, is entirely due to the fact
that it is a year for presidential election
and that both parties are competing in
the field of sensation and jingoism," and
adding: The politicians are eager to
fight Novembers battle in the air in
stead of on solid ground.
