JAPAN, as current dispatches show, is
close to its after-war panic. War always
brings an apparent prosperity, as it has
In Japan. AS usual the currency has
been inflated, prices have gone up and
wages have advanced, though less than
prices. The Chinese indemnity, which
might have prolonged war prosperity II
expended in Japan, is being expended IN
London. The transaction Is simple.
China has sold $I6o,ooo,ooo bonds In
Europe in two installments of Sc, ,ooo, 900.
The bankers who buy these bonds-to
sell again-deposit credits in the Bank OF
England. These credits are transferred
to Japan. Japan transfers them to deal
ers in arms and ironclads. No money
changes hands. There is simply another
expansion of the international credits on
which Europe is now doing business and
banking. Japan, therefore, makes nc
such gain as did Germany when the
''milliards" were spent there. Much OF
the Japanese expansion will shrivel under
the touch of panic.

THE revenues of Pennsylvania amount
to over twelve million dollars last year,
an income that many nations do not ex-
ceed. Nearly one-third of this, or over
three and half millions, was from taxes
on corporation stock, nearly million on
corporation loans, over half million
from tax on bank stocks, an almost equal
amount from foreign insurance compan-
les, nearly two and third millions from
tax on personal property, over half a mil
lion from mercantile license and nearly
as much from wholesale liquor licenses,
etc. The amount of conscience money
refunded, $36.24, might be taken to in
dicate that the State had not been de-
frsuded of very much. but it is possible
that this is not the whole amour: that
should figure In this item.

The Mckinley Sweep.

The great popular sentiment Tor Gov
ernor Mckinley as the standaro-oearef
Of the country's return to Republicanisn'
prosperity and progress is becoming al
toeetter resistless. What was a power
full current a month ago is now a YER
table whirlwind It's mighty sweep sur
prises even the most sanguine friends OF
the great Protection leader.
The Illinois Convention is decisive.
II unanimously instructs for Mckinney.
After a strenuous struggle OF two DAYS
and after fair defeat on fair trial the op-
moments of instruction gracefully yielded
and Joined in giving Mckinley the solid
voice and vote of the State. Bear ID
mind they were not opponents OF Mckin-
lev-he had no opponents. They were
only opponents of instruction. They raw
ored Cullom a. State candidate tor
complimentary vote, and then they were
for Mckinley, IKE the rest. But the ma
iority were not for wasting any time or
any votes on empty compliments. They
were in dead earnest for Mckinley, hrst
and last. and when on direct test they
showed clear majority of 800 the minor
ity Joined in making the instructions for
Mckinley.
The moral effect of this potent demon
stration, following on the heels OF Yer
mont; will be incalculable. The Illinois
convention was the last entrenchment of
the anti-McKinley combination. Its cap
ture leaves no hopeful fighting ground.
Mckinley already had nearly two-thirds
of the district delegates of Illinois. Sen
ator Cullom, highly respected and emil
nently worthy as he is, had not been able
to hold his State against the predominant
and irresistible sentiment for the great
leader who typifes to the popular mind
the ideas and principles which they want
embodied in administration. A candi-
date for President, however meritorlous
In himself, who lost majority OF MS
State delegates could not well remain in
the field, no matter what his State Con-
yention might do. But when that body
follows the districts in declaring for the
pre-eminent national candidate, it finally
disposes of the State movement and abb
sorbs it in the great national sweep.
1t is now plain that Governor Mckin-
ley will have all of the Northern States
except Iowa, part of Pennsylvania
part of New York, part of New Eng
land, and two or three inconsequentlai
silver camps, and in all of these sections
where he is not the first choice, he is un-
deniably the second choice. This IS say
ing nothing of the South, where he has
more votes than any other candidate. 1t
Ii not partisanship which recognizes TINS
truth, but simply observation. What Is
there left to Philadelphia Press.

The Mckinley column continues to hold
half the delegates elected.
GRosvEEoR SAYS THE CONTEST Is ENDED
General Grosvenor, in speaking of the
Mckinley triumph in Illinois, said: The
result is highly gratifying to the friends OF
Governor Mckinley. By some process OF
reasoning ii was given out by the oppo-
nents of Mckinley that if he should win
at Springfield the contest would end IN
his favor.
"The stand of the bosses was made IN
that State and their hope was thar the TIDE
could be stopped, checked and turned
back To this end concentration OF the
leading IN ansgers of all the opposing can
didates was made in Chicago, and they co
operated to head off the Mckinley vote
and little care was taken to whom the
vote should go, SO it did not go to Nc
Kinley.
Senator Cullom was appealed to and
be came out and entered thehght. And
tie machine had secured the Cook County
V tie for their purpose. Against all this
the army of farmers, the plain peopto,
rose and triumphed. The victory means
the end of the contest.
Samuel W. Allerton, who took promi-
nent part in the Springfield convention,
zmarked recently that manufacturer Of
St. Louis who employed 500 men told him
taat if any other candidate than Mckinley
were nominated the manufacturer would
have to labor with his men to get their
votes, but with McKinley's hume at the
head of the ticket no work would be re-
ouired, as the men would vote for Nc
Kinley solidly, because they know him
AMI want him. This is the secret OF this
whole matter The workingmen, as well
as the manufacturers, the farmers, and the
business men generally, want Mr. Mckm-
ley, and they are going to have him"
QUAY STAYS IN THE FIBLD.
Washington, April Ex-senator Quay
late Thursday night, after secret confer
ence with gentlemen whose names uo did
not care to divulge, gave out the follow
ing
The result in Illinois is by no means
conclusive Three of the four delegates
at-large are pronounced ti-AcKiniey
men,"
He also said that he would remain in
the fight, and as far as he knew, all the
other candidates would do likewise.

TREES AND SHRUBBERY.
The Storm Wrought Great Ruin In
the Mall and Parks.

Sal havoc was wrought among the trees
in the grounds surrounding the Smith
souian Institution Some OF the finest of
them are lyiug PROSTATE this morning anu
the beauty OF scores of Others Is destroyed.
The walks aud drives in many parts OF
the grounds are almost impassable. 70
numerous are the distractions from fallen
trees.
Shrubbery in the grounds also suffered
and the beauty of one OF Wash'ngton's
finest parks is seriously impaired by the
wholesale damage.
The damage in uther parts OF the city was
not less marked Not a square escaped
the general havoc and some OF the most
beautiful shade trees in the city were de-
stroyed.
A notable instance is the case OF very
large tree in front of the Washington das

HOWARD GoULp's ANSWER.
Hot Retort to British Criticism nent
the ROYAL Yacht Races.


London. Sept. 29.-Prior to leaving for
his home in the United States, Howard
Gould. owner of the yacht Niagara, under
date of September 26. has addressed an ex-
tended communication to the council of the
yacht racing association. reviewing the
action taken by it in the matter of the Ma
gara's water tanks. Just after the race of the
Royal Thames Club, May % last.
In prefacing his letter, which is dated
from the Savoy Hotel, Mr. Gould says he
has waited and hoped all summer to re-
ceive letter from your association which
would have made this Communication un-
necessary"
After specifying that the Niagara's tanks
OF thiry gallons each for drinking water
have been in the yacht ever since she was
built, and SO were when the association
issued the racing certificate, under which
the yacht sailed fifty or more races In
1898, Mr.. Could recalls the visit Of the
Investigating committee the last Of May
at a time when he was not on board.
He then quotes Dixon Kemp sletter for the
association, dated May 81. in which 1t is
officially disclaimed that the committee
believed there was any truth to the charge
that the tauks were used for shifting water
ballast, but at the same time requesting
changes made In the piping.
In ending his reply he asks the council ts

AMONG TELEGRAPHERS.
Location of the Storm as Determined
by Wire Indications.

The location of the storm was placed by
local telegraph operators as being mid
way between Washington and Baltinio.e.
Communication with Baltimore and points
North was very imperfect from Z O'Clock
until at 1920, when all wires were conr
pletely prostratel.
While Baltimore could interpret the tele-
graphic signals sent out OF New York,
and Philadeiphia. the operators in Wash
ington were unable to read what was said
on account Uf the constant grounding OF
the wire.
The Western Union chief operators be-
lieve the wire trouble to be chiefly within
a radius Of ten or twenty miles, which
would indicate that Baltimore was lot
touched by the storm.
The morning times., 1896-09-30
TOTAL LOSS ABOUT $500, 900
Conservative Estimate of the DAM
age Done in This City.

1t is, OF course, impossible from the gen.
eral view which could be taken OF the
effects OF tile storm last night to make any
thing like definite estimate of the losses
measured in money value.
The principle loss to buildings has been
in shattered roofs, falling or fallen gable
ends, windo ws and shutters Business
houses fronting east or southeast have suf-
fercd heavily in the total destruction Of
many of their finest plate glass windows
An authority said last night that the toss
in such windo US alone would exceed $780,
600.
Government property he's probably heen
damage to the extent OF fifteen to twenty
thousand dollars, and it will be work Ct
years for The city TO replace the WHOLE
forest of its trees that has been utterly de-
struyed. 1t is rot likely that this feature
Of the wreck can be replaced for less than
$40, 900.
The damage to telephone. telegraph and
electricIIght wires is just nov impossible to
reckon with any degree of certainty, but
il is probable that it will take about - 900
or 81, 900 TO replace the broken wires and
all the circuits, this estimate, OF course, in-
Guiding the cost of labor.
1t is CONSERVATIVE estimate 10 pldCe
the damage to buildings within the Dis
trict at $4,000. The damage To the cars
of the Metropolitan Railway Company will
probably be not ess than from ten to fifteen
thousand dollars, judging from the posi-
bility OF the wreckage under the fallen iron
work OF the power house.
The total loss will probably reach two
hundred thousand dollars. which will in
clude the damages to stock in stores into
which the rain poured through the broken
windows.
The storm Of the spring was mere
breeze compared to the hurricane OF last
night, and yet the former left behind
1t wreck which cost from S35 900 to
SAC, 900 to restore. 1t is not, therefore,
unlikely that the estimate of S20o,OOo
will bc materially increased when de
tailed sta tement shall be possible.
