OUR SWISS TRADE.
We are Selling More and Buying Less
Than Formerly.

Washington, Oct. 15.-ConsuI Germain at
Zurich, Switzerland, in a report to the
state department says that Swiss i'm
ports from America show an increase in
wheat, woods, agricultural machinery
and implements, horses, dried fruits, pre-
served meats, bicycles and cast iron
goods. A decrease is shown in raw cot
ton, leather, lard and fresh fish.
The consul mentions the decrease in the
exports of silk to the United States and
says it is due to an unfavorable season,
but also to the steadily increasing compe-
tition of the American silk industry.

advanced, one being that it was in con

organization, and another that it re-
aated to changes in the firm of J. S

That Name,

PARIS. Feb. IA report from Frouen-
field, Switzerland, announces the death
at that place of NJ. Martini. the inventor
of the Martini rifle.
NJ Martini commenced his expert
ments in SUMMARIZING forty years ago.
1t was not until 1869, however, when a
combination of the Martini breech ac-
ton with a Henry barrel was selected
from a large number of rifle inventions
submitted to the British Government,
that NJ. Martini achieved fame and for
tune. The whole of the British army is
now provided with those weapons. The
manufacture of the Martini Henry rifle
is now carried on by the British Govern
ment at a factory at Enfield, near Lon
don. About l 800 operatives are en-
ployed at the Government factory, and it
is estimated each Martini rifle
costs England about IS shilEngs
NJ Martini has taken out large num-
Der of patents upon inventions con-
nected with the manufacture Of guns,
and the Martini Henry rife has been
adopted by q number of the leading ma
tions of the world OF all the military

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Senator Villas Presents a Substitute
for the Bill Now Pending.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-Senator vi
las to-day presented a substitute for
the Nicaragua Canal bill, which ne
gave notice he would offer at the proper
time.
1t provides for a commission com
posed Of one member of the Engineer
Corps OF the Army, a naval engineer
and three citizens of the United Sta ties,
to be nominated by the President and
confirmed by the Senate, which shall
investigate the entire question. The
Commission is to be known as the IN
ter-Oceanic Canal Commission, and the
members are to be paid at the rate Of
$500 per month. The board is to be
required to visit and personally inspect
the several lines or routes projected
or which may seem to said board to be
sufficiently practicable to demand an
inquiry for an inter-oceanic canal to
connect the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans. They are required to make
surveys, etc. to determine the most
feasible, practicable and economical
route for the canal, and to submit
plans Specifications, etc, for the same.
The Commission is instructed to make
complete estimates on the probable cost
of such work on the route selected as
well as such routes as are considered
competitive Of that chosen. For the
purpose of the bill 81 600, 900 is made
available by appropriation.
Senator Carter offered an amendment
to the pending bin providing for the
elimination of Section { of the law in
cooperating that Canal Company, and
also amending Section 3 of the pending
bill, striking out provisions for the
return OF stock and the cancellation Of
contracts

Committee on Naval Affairs to-day lis
tened to supplementary statements
from President Linderman from the
Bethlehem Iron Works. and Superin

NOR was not exhorbitant and said that
they could not afford to produce 1t for
less than $3.50 per ton.
They complained that Secretary
Herbert's report did them injustice,
taking especial exception to his esti-
mate of the cost of labor, which they
declared to be 40 per cent. too low.
The Secretary was present and de-
Tended his report.

FRANK BUTLER NOW
BEHIND PRISON BARS
Continued from First Page.)

VALLEJO, Feb. 2-There is a pretty
little woman living in this place who
works as domestic servant the mother
of curly haired three ear-old boy in
the care of the Good Templars Orphans
Home. She says that the Australian
murderer Butler is her husband. She is
going to San Francisco tomorrow to
satisfy herself as to his identity. She is
convinced Of the correctness of her sur
mise by the description given of Butler
and the circumstances surrounding his
movements.
Her name is Eta Butler. She married
Harry Butler in May, 1898, and four
months later he deserted her. She has
not seen MIN since, but says that she has
in the meantime learned enough of his
record TO convince her that he would
commit any crime He told her he had
been all over the world before they met,
and that he had been in some serious
trouble before their marriage, she is pos
tive.
She said he had once been a cowboy in
Texas and Colorado, and had enlisted
for five years in the United States army.
This is the one remaining incident that
she has been unable to verify through
her correspondence. He deserted after
serving a few years, and she has since
heard that he had killed the Captain of
his regiment. He had been in Washing
ton and Oregon. In the former State he
was a cOrnetist in a theater. This she
knew to be true as his trunks were al
ways filled with music. She heard he
was engaged in stealing valuable jew
elry in Washington, which he sold in
San Francisco. 1t also came to her ears
that he was driven out of Texas for
stealing cattle.
Butler was not the mans right name.
He told her in letters afterwards that
he married her under an assumed name.
After Butler had been gone several
weeks, Mrs. Butler received a letter at
Napa, addressed to him: 1t contained
the following warning, and came evil
IDENTIFY from an accomplice in some of
his crimes 1t was written at William
settle, Mass, and ran as follows:

TRYING TO CAPTURE THE LABOR VOTE.

SCHEMES OF POLITICrANs-THE PLAN TO GET
W. J. BRYAN HERE TO SPEAK
Politicians who try to work the labor unions for
Endorsement and pledged support have already be-
gun to lay pipes for the coming election for the
control OF the Greater NewYork. No matter what
rebuffs these politicians meet they come up on the
next occasion with more self-assurance and buster
than ever. Just they busy engaged In
making capital out OF the Knights of Labor. and
their scheme is to get the Knights to invite Will

and II the scheme Is successful they will ride
at the head of the procession on horseback. OF
course many labor men would be pleased to and
hear Mr.. Bryan either on that any other day,

their vote when Election Day comes again. The
attempt of Tammany to capture the labor vote last

far from successful from labor mans point OF

this goes to show that workmen do not want
politics to get mixed up with their trades-unonism.
The Central Labor Union has emphasized this fact
time and time again. Even as late as last Sunday

to the convention OF the so-called Citizens Demo-
cratic League.
The story in connection with the proposed great
Bryan demonstration is that the labor men have
