North Dakota, the reports from which
were not very bright, records change
for the better. Damage by hail in the
last named state during the previous
week is estimated at 100000 acres,
with 49, 900 acres totally destroyed. It
is doubtful if the damage in Min.

county losing at least 10000 acres.

their officers renewed encouragement
and strengthens the belief that victory
will ultimately crown their efforts
.'Tho history of industrial strife has
no parallel to the present movement.
Deputy marshals, coal and iron police
and secret detectives have been at work,
but their presence has failed to incite
the miners to acts of lawlessness oreven
to resumption CT work. Their pres
ence in peaceable communities with a
chip on their shoulder gave some
cause for alarm, and ordinarily would
have caused a resort to violence. But
our miners in this instance, profitlng by
the experience of the past, would
neither cause trouble themselves nor
allow themselves to become involved III
the trouble by the action of others.
Satisfied With Results.
"We have started into this movement
realizing fully the importance OF the
work before US, and after two weeks OF
SUSPENSION involving more than 10000
miners, we are well satisfied with the
results. Only those who are best &C
euainted with the condition of the min
ers have any idea of the extent of this
suspension aud its paralyzing effects
upon the labor and business of the
country. 1t has not yet reached its full
proportions. The coming week will add
10000 men to the idle column. The
week following will bring greater ac-
cessions to our ranks. The movement
will continue to grow not only from the
point of number involved, but public
opinion will become crystallized more
fully and through the press of the coun-
try will demand a solution Of this great

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Hawaiian
commerce during the last 10 years is the
subject of circular just issued by the
department of agriculture. The facts
set forth bear directly ppon the current
discussion of the annexation OF the Ha'
waiian islands to the United States and
are as follows: f..
The comparison of statistics shows
that the United States controls 80 per
cent of the trade to the islands. The
total value Of exports and imports OF
Hawaii for 1896 was $2l, 578, 1892, OF
which about two.thirds, $l5, 515, $50, was
the value of goods exported. OF this
traffic 91.2O per cent was with the
United States. Another impression OF
the situation may be gained from the
statement that our trade with the islands
in 1896. according to Hawaiian statis-
tics, reached $50, 1906, the largest
amount ever recorded, while the highest
figures previously were for 1890, when
total of $l6, 332, 631 80 was reported.
We Take All Their Products.
The United States, however, does not
yet hold so high position in furnishing
goods for Hawaii as in taking the prod.
ucts Of the islands. Of the average Of
exports for the last 10 years, nearly
S11, 100000 y year, the United States
has bought practically all. Only one:
half Of pei Gent has been sold to other
countries. Of the goods purchased by
Howaii, on the other hand, the United
States furnishes only about three
fourths. However, it is chiefly in our
sales to the Islands that the trade is
growing. The annual average Of these
sales for the five years l8S7-91 was
$4,376,312; and for 1891.96, "a, 1876, 275;
while. the exports to Hawaii for last
year amounted to 1864, 208, nearly
81, 600, 900 more than for any previous
year.
The goods coming from Hawaii to
the United States are mainly agricul-
tural products, while the equipments in
the other direction, except breadstutts,
are chiefly manufactures.

Trouble Over q G hange in Standards Of
Value Easily Remedicd.
WASHINGTON, July l9.-Russia has
experienced some difficulty in reversing
her standard of value by simple decree,
as shown in a report to the state depart
ment by United States Consul Henan at
Odessa. He says:
"The change inaugurated about two
years ago in the currency of Russia
from silver. to what is supposed to be a
gold basis, has had somewhat depress-
ing effect upon the mind of the peasant
farmers. By imperial edict it was made
known that rouble gold piece would,
until further notice, be equal to z
roubles and 80 copecks, paper currency,
and check drawn on any Russian
bank for rs roubles must be considered
paid should the holder receive 80 louE.es
in gold. ...
''The masses Of Russia are said to be
uneducated and ignorant; nevertheless,
when they were offered 5.rouble gold
piece in payment Of debt due them for
Z roubles and 30 copecks, they refused
to accept it, and pointed out that
stamped on the gold piece in plain Rus
sian characters were the words ''flve
roubles, and they furthermore demand
to know why it was that they were ex.
pected to believe that twice two and
. half made seven roubles and fifty
copecks in money or anything else.
1.-THE government officials were equal
to the emergency, .recoined the same 8
rouble gold piece, and stamped on it :
roubles and 80 copecks, which illustrates
the old adage that ''there are more
ways Of killing q cat than by choking Il
with butter" 49,. .....-.'.

cations, now unanticipated, might

been disposed to allow but one day for
debate in the house, and, while they
still believe one day would be sufficient,
they have decided, more to disarm the
protests the minority would be sure to
make, to give two full days for debate.
It is not believed that a single Repub-
lican vote in the house will be recorded
