AMERICA GUSHING ENGLAND.

Great Britain.
London. November 90 lit. Hon. Chss
T.. Ritehie, president Of the hoard ut trade
made an important speech before BE cham.
Der of commerce OF Corydon today, taking
as his theme the decline CT the rr'tisl
exports during the last ten months. upor
which hung a grave wura.ng agatns
American competition, now "ousung british
trade"
Mr.. Richie, after declaring that the
Dingley tariff and the increasing trade dis
pute was mainly responsible for The recent
decline OF exports, and after pointing out
that England had no weapons against the
tariff, said there was great deal Of talk
in commercial circles about the serious
competition of Germany. but he Thought
they were toe apt to overlook Il more seri-
GUS ccmpetltor--the United Gtates.
THE facts are serious, ha continued,
and call upon us for tho exercise cf all
our powers TO enable us to flaiatain cur
position in the commercial world. III, re Is
no doubt the United States Is ,secutinA
orders which ought to be executed here. AS
we all know, an American firm o1lalned
the contract for the central undergrot nd
than these OF the English concerns nd 1t
could deliver the supplies three months
ahead OF the British tenders. Many impor-
liant continental orders have gone to Amer
lea.
The same is to be said Of Egypt and
Japan, where the Americans are doing
work that Englishmen should have done. In
consequence OF the engineering dispute,
many orders are leaving the country and
unfortunately these orders seldom return.
Americas successful competition is due
TO her enterprise In embarklng cacitsi hut
II is yet more due to the frsed1.n ti her
manufacturers enjoy OF employing TIE hest
machinery and working 1t in the most eco
nomical manner untrammelled bv the re-
strictions which have hamoared manu-
facturers here Every one having mis- co, n
trys interest at heart must 'iope that to-
Inorrows conference will lead to settle
ment OF the unfortunate engine srng dis
pute.'

German Obstruction Causing Indignation

LONDON, June GA dispatch to The
Daily Chronicle from Constantinople
says it is rumored that stormy scenes
have taken place during the sessions of
the peace conference and that German
obstruction has provoked lively indigna-
ton among a majority Of the ambassu-
doris.
Negotiations are not making much
progress and there is considerable dis
quiet in Athens, caused by the appar-
emily reliable statement that the negoti-
ations are in danger Of collapsing alto
gether. It is believed by many good
judges Mt Athens that Greece may yet
have to fight for her very existence.
Already there are reports that the Turks
have advanced III the Agrapha district,
occupied several villages and are still
advancing toward the town of Agra
pha. Greece has protested to tho pow
ers against this violation Of tho armis-
tice and Colonel Tosamados, the minis

M'LAlMS OWN ORDER.

The Sheriff Sent the Militia Away From
tho Jail At Urbsna.
URBANA, O., June 9.-In an inter-
view Sheriff McIain made an acknowl-
edgment which should settle al the talk
about Mayor Ganson impersonating him
on the eve of the lynching and ordering
the Springfield company Of militia to
to return home. The sheriff said that
Captain Bradbury reported to him on
his arrival here with his company and
they both came to the conclusion that
the combined force Of the companies
could not hold the jail against the mob.
Then Sheriff McLain ordered the
Springfield company to move away from
the jail. Some Of the leaders Of the
mob had got into the jail and were
threatening to hang him if he allowed
the militia to remain.
