uresome trader sent 1900 bags Of Argentine
wheat TO London, and thereby caused nine
DAYS sensation. That was the thin end OF
wedge. In 1891 no less than 2,47S,4o6 cwt OF
Argentine wheat found market In Great bri'-
ain and realized value of more than So,ooV
600. This was getting serious. British farmers
surveyed the figures in dsmay, and colonial
wheat-growers scented possible rival Stead
ily AS did the acreage the trade In wheat ex
handed. until in 1894 Argentina sent to Great
Britain no less than 13272152 cwt, worth more
than S17OOOOOO. Last year very bad season
and poor crops caused some dlmnution OF the
trade. What It will be this year no one yet

When n single "halfsavage Spanish-lndian

three times as much wheat rs all the British

MARCH RETURNS or COMMERCE..

The official statement OF foreign commerce
FOR the month OF March shows an excess Of ex-
ports over imports amounting to $9,l44.O18,
whereas In the same month Of 1895 the excess
OF imports was $4.133646 But 1t IL important
to observe that this change Is not mainly due,
as might be supposed, to remarkably heavy ex-
ports Of domestic products The domestic ex-
ports In March were smaller than In any other
month since September though $l0,30O,OOO
larger than In March Of last year, while the i'm
ports, on the other hand, were larger than In
February, December OF November but were
about $3,000OO0 smaller than In March Of last
year. II Is also worth while to notice that the
decrease In dutiable imports, compared with
March Of last year, was only about ST. 600, 900,
but nearly S20OOOOO In articles free Of duty.
The higher prices obtained for cotton In large
degree explain the difference In value Of exports
but there was also an increase due to higher
prices obtained for wheat and to larger exports
of provisions.
year ago the finances Of the country had
just been placed In charge OF the international
bankers who had been selected as receivers, and
who were importing gold largely for the pur-
pose Of carrying out their contract with the
Treasury. At that time the gold and merchan-
disc imports taken together exceeded the ex-
ports by $S,253.936 In the month of March,
whereas this year the excess Of merchandise
and gold exports over imports Is $S,S5O.383. The
gold movement was small last month, imports
exceeding exports by only $203653 against
$9,375,3S0 In the month Of February In all
other months Of this fiscal year there has been
an excess Of eXDOrts Of gold amounting for the

the supporters of the measure decidedly shaKy
as to their chances of getting it through the

come. Ex-senator Miller spoke out strongly

CHARITY

The X .tie Putnam dramatic cOmpa-
ny appeared in Lewiston tor tie first
time on Christmas night. They were
billed for Thursday but failed on ac-
count of impassable roads to meeet the
engagement. This occasioned much
disappointment On the part of the peo-
pie and loss to the company. The hall
was hacked and the ticket holders re-
manned in their seats tiil ten O'clock,
with vain hope that the baggage and
scenery which was swamped in Pa
louise mud hole might arrive. The O'd
Lime Kiln was billed for Thursday.
This melo-dranla is their speciality and
it was put on the boards the next ev-

The question of the rights of "sooner"
on the Nez Perce reservation was de-
cided 10y the Commissioner Of the Gen
eral Land offices few days ago in the
case of Rhodes VS.. Malby. The con.
troversy was over a valuable tract of
land near Denver. Mr.. Rhodes went
upon the land before the hour fixed by
the president for opening the domain
to settlers. Malby appealed upon the
ground that 'soOners' were prohibited
as they were in Oklahoma from the
benefits Of the homestead rights.
The ruling of the Secretary confirms
the local Office to the effect that there
was no Sooner clause in the prOcalma>
ton opening the Nez Perce reservation
is settlement. S.R Hogan was attorney
for Rhodes.
